Gamer Li Song told AFP at a video shop in Beijing he bought it as soon as it was available for pre-order. "It feels good," the 41-year-old said as his character scampered around a lush forest, dodging attacks from furry beasts before transforming into an insect. "The controls and overall experience are solid," Li said. Considered the first Chinese-developed "Triple A" title, a term used to describe major, high-budget, stand-alone games, it is inspired by the classic 16th-century Chinese novel "Journey to the West". Players step into the shoes of a character similar to the Monkey King Sun Wukong, a key figure in the story. A classic role-playing game, it requires players to build an arsenal of magic powers and deadly weapons as they control the "Destined One". "The basic combat feels great, there are no problems there," Li said. "The game's story, rooted in Chinese mythology, is promising." Gaming shop owner Yuanyuan -- who declined to give her family name -- said she could never have imagined that a Chinese title could enjoy such success. "It presents our myths and stories in a game for the whole world," she told AFP. "As a Chinese person, I feel very proud." A long wait More than 1.4 million people were playing "Black Myth" via gaming platform Steam at around 5 pm (0900 GMT) on Tuesday. That was the fourth-highest number recorded for a game -- more than recent blockbuster titles such as "Elden Ring" and "Cyberpunk 2077". It also won praise from gaming press in the West with review aggregator website Metacritic giving it a rating of 82 out of 100 based on an average of 57 reviews. Hype has been building since 2020, when its first trailer racked up 10 million views in just 24 hours on Chinese video streaming platform Bilibili. "It feels like it's been a long wait," said Violet Zhang, a 21-year-old university student, speaking at a launch event in Shanghai. "But it's really exciting to get to this day." Developer Game Science, based in the eastern and southern cities of Hangzhou and Shenzhen, has been working on the game since 2018. The process hasn't been without controversy -- US gaming website IGN detailed last year what it called a "history of sexism" at Game Science. The article prompted a backlash from players in China and elsewhere, with many defending the game and rejecting what they claimed was an attempt to push "woke" Western ideas onto a Chinese context. Neither Game Science nor the game's co-publisher Hero Games responded to AFP's requests for comment on the controversy on Tuesday. Yuanyuan told AFP she hoped that audiences would be "more tolerant of this game and accept its shortcomings". "That way we can keep improving in the future," she said. Gamer Li said he was "not really interested" in the furore. "This is irrelevant to us, we're not interested in those issues," he said. Wu Tianyu, a 29-year-old tech industry worker in Shanghai, said he was "very moved" by the game. "I hope that our domestic video games will be increasingly successful in the future. I'm sure they will." 【原创·阅读理解】 1.What inspired the game "Black Myth"? A. A modern Chinese novel. B. Ancient Chinese myths. C. A Western fantasy series. D.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】growth 【详解】考查名词。句意：随着出口占GDP的比重开始下降，国内消费在推动经济增长方面发挥着更大的作用。分析句子可知，横线前有定冠词the，其后面需要填写名词，括号中是动词“grow”。需要变成名词形式growth，且为不可数。故填growth。 2．The country’s high (employ) rate is a positive indicator of its strong economic growth. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】employment 【详解】考查名词。句意：该国的高就业率是其强劲经济增长的积极指标。此处应用名词employment“就业”，修饰名词rate，作定语，employment rate固定搭配，意为“就业率”。故填employment。 3．Marty's magic became a source of (amuse) to the children.(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】amusement 【详解】考查名词。句意：Marty的魔法给孩子们带来了乐趣。根据句意可知，空格处用名词作宾语，amuse的名词是amusement，是不可数名词，意为“开心”，故填amusement。 4．She (figure) that she had learned a lot from the experience. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】figured 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：她觉得自己从这次经历中学到了很多东西。根据从句谓语had learned可知，主句用一般过去时表示过去发生的事情，动词figure用过去式。故填figured。 5．At present, the remarkable development of digital economy (transform) our modern way of life.(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】is transforming 【详解】考查时态。句意：当前，数字经济的飞速发展正在改变着我们的现代生活方式。空处作句子谓语，结合语境和时间状语at present可知，陈述目前一段时间正在发生的事情，应用现在进行时，主语development不可数，谓语动词用单数形式。故填is transforming。 6．She also came to the conclusion it is a myth that instrumental music is less disturbing than songs.
