B Seeing the text from Kathy: “A family picnic this weekend?”, I found my hands began to sweat; my heart beat hard. I wanted to yell, “No! Why would you suggest that? I thought we were friends!” I hated picnics. My hatred of them began as a child. I always got car-sick and it was hot all the way. Air conditioning in vehicles was pretty much unheard of in 1980s Birmingham, and my mother insisted on having all the windows closed because of the unpleasant smell of gas. We would arrive at some faraway destination, usually a car park with a field attached next to a plant, and unpack tasteless sandwiches, nearly cold sausage rolls and disgusting salads. My mother sat in a relaxed way on a rug (小毯子) while we girls were playing nearby or maybe lying next to her. But for me this was a time when I suffered a lot. It was frightening to be attacked by ants or spot a dead rabbit in the grass. As an adult, I’d avoided all picnics, but this time I couldn’t. I just said yes, without letting Kathy sense my true feeling about them. She is my best friend and sometimes you must make sacrifices for people you like a lot. “I’ll bring the food, and you bring the drink,” she said. My ridiculously enthusiastic family and I arrived at the picnic site. My expectations were low. Kathy and her husband Dave unloaded folding tables, chairs, a table cloth and ... a cool box of delicious food mostly purchased from a local deli (熟食店), which does all manner of pre-prepared salads and cold cuts. There was fresh bread, olives, even candles to keep away insects, music, and wine. It was completely delightful. There may have been children playing around too, even if one of them did find a dead bird (told you!). I am now a picnic enthusiast and we’ re planning another. I’m even reading up on picnic recipes for it! 4. What was the author’s attitude towards Kathy’s suggestion according to paragraph 1? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Indifferent D. Embarrassed 5. What can be inferred from the author’s childhood picnics? A. The food was delightful. B. She enjoyed the journey. C. She thought the wild unpleasing. D. She could talk with her mother alone. 6. Why did the author accept Kathy’s picnic invitation? A. Because she didn’t want to hurt Kathy’s feelings. B. Because her family wanted to have the picnic. C. Because she liked the picnic place. D. Because Kathy promised her a good picnic. 7. What did the author write the text for? A. To remember an unforgettable trip. B. To record her memories of family picnics. C. To express her thanks to her friend Kathy. D. To describe her changed attitude to picnics C On August 20th, 2024, the Chinese gaming industry reached a milestone with the global release of Black Myth: Wukong, a new AAA action role-playing game developed by Game Science. Within hours of launch, it topped Steam’s most-played single-player list, gaining significant attention on social media. Black Myth: Wukong draws on Chinese mythologies (神话) and the classic novel Journey to the West. It allows players to assume the role of Sun Wukong and start grand adventures. Inspired by Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey, the game creates a vivid dreamscape with Chinese scenery, like remote mountains, wild roads and ancient temples. The various demons, gods, and other figures with Chinese-style designs in the game are based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas, breathing new life into the ancient tales of Chinese mythology. Feng Ji, Game Science founder and CEO, emphasized that the game was created entirely by a Chinese team to bring Chinese stories to the global gaming stage. He said, “The script and artistic concepts always take the lead, harmoniously integrating Chinese stories and classical cultural elements into the game.” He believed that a game’s true value is not determined by its budget or visuals, but by the genuine enjoyment it offers players. According to the Xinhua News Agency, to create a truly immersive (沉浸式的), world-class game, the game’s production team spent years traveling across China, scanning historical and cultural sites, and integrating them into every game scenes. The game features 36 locations thoroughly modeled after real-world sites, with 27 of them located in Shanxi Province, China, offering players a unique and immersive visual experience. The game has boosted interest in Shanxi’s cultural heritage. On its launch day, the search volume for Shanxi tourism increased by over 10%. Bookings for trips to Shanxi have doubled since July, and the number of tourists to Shanxi has grown by 50%. Shanxi has rich tourism resources but lacks recognition both domestically and internationally. The game has presented Shanxi’s cultural relics in a pleasing and effective way, arousing people’s interest in the province’s culture and travel. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the game? A. Its design inspiration. B. Its wide popularity. C. Its target players. D. Its cultural significance. 9. What is the key to making a truly valuable game according to Feng Ji? A. Creating high profits for the game company. B. Integrating Chinese stories into artistic concepts. C. Designing impressive characters and visual effects. D. Providing a satisfying experience for players. 10. Which of the following words can best describe the game’s production team? A. Ambitious and efficient. B. Confident and productive. C. Devoted and high-standard. D. Experienced and imaginative. 11. How does the game benefit Shanxi Province? A. By promoting its cultural tourism. B. By improving its international status. C. By calling for the protection of its heritage. D. By attracting investment to its game industry. D Made of thin cotton and sewed together in only 20 minutes, an experimental pair of gloves isn’t particularly fashionable or useful for keeping anyone’s hands warm. Instead, they are used for an entirely different purpose: teaching piano. In a study, Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate student Yiyue Luo and her colleagues created these “smart gloves” using advanced technology, which includes physical sensations such as vibration (震动) or force to help with learning activities. Researchers used the gloves to record one pianist’s hand movements while playing a song. They then relayed those movements to a student through fingertip vibrations, helping the learner build muscle memory and perform the piece with greater precision. “Hand-based movements like piano playing are normally really subjective and difficult to record and transfer,” Luo says. “But with these gloves we are actually able to track a piano teacher’s touch experience and share it with another person to improve their tactile (触觉的) learning process.” Using a computerized sewing machine the team wove (织入) small wires linked to a pressure-sensing material in the gloves to detect hand motions. When a piano teacher wearing the gloves repeatedly performed a tune, a machine-learning algorithm(算法) processed their movement on the keys and translated it into instructional vibrations. Students wearing their own gloves then attempted to play the same tune, with the fingertip vibrations guiding them through proper movements. By the trials’ end, students who had practiced with the gloves could play more accurately than those who had not. Playing piano or video games is often just for fun, but Rice University mechanical engineer O’Malley adds that with an improved algorithm, the new glove technology could someday help to teach crucial practices such as surgeries. “Instructional touch removes a step in the learning process that auditory and visual learning can’t.” she says. “When vibration is actually felt directly at the point of action, we can act and learn quicker and with that, there’s so much potential.” 12. What is presented in paragraph 2? A. Learning activities. B. Working principles. C Theoretical models. D. Statistical methods. 13. According to the passage, what technology was used to detect hand motions in “Smart Gloves”? A. A sewing machine. B. Advanced vibration technology. C. A machine-learning algorithm. D. Small wires connected to a special material. 14. What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A. To introduce a global trend. B. To make some further predictions. C. To raise a reasonable doubt. D. To add some background information. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Importance of “Smart Gloves” in Teaching B. “Smart Gloves” is replacing Teachers C. “Smart Gloves” Teach Piano Playing through Touch D. Learners can realize their potential via “Smart Gloves” 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is culture?

As the chart shows, 53% of students prefer reading news articles. 26% choose stories, 14% are interested in popular science articles, and only 7% select learning methods. This reveals that students are more inclined to practical and interesting content. However, the relatively low interest in learning methods is a bit concerning. To encourage a more balanced reading habit, students should be open to exploring various types of articles to improve their language skills and knowledge. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
