The second feature film by Chinese director Shao Yihui,Her Story (revolves around a newly unemployed single mother with a daughter and their young female neighbour,(21) they explore their experiences and struggles as women in Shanghai. The film has grossed roughly 721m yuan at the box office,(22)success reveals a growing trend in China,where(23)(film)directed by women,centred around female experiences, (23)(find)greater commercial success. The shift towards representations of women's narratives in mainstream cinema has been emergent in China(24)__the2021 release of Hi,Mom(你好，李焕英)，directed by Chinese comedian Jia Ling,who also directed YOLO(热諫滚烫).Hi,Mom grossed more than540 n yuan, surpassing()the box office earnings of Avengers:Endgame in China. On Xiaohongshu,(25)Chinese social media platform likened to Instagram,there are more than 13m posts containing the keywords "Her Story Easter egg".The Easter eggs(26)(refer to)are feminist references scattered throughout the film.Each main character cosplays a feminist icon,such as American jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg.They will spark fans'enthusiasm for rewatching the film.The straightforward and accessible representations of feminist ideology were particularly refreshing(27)they had been absent in Chinese cinema until now. Researchers believe the rise of Chinese women's purchasing power,(28)the so called "she economy",(29)one of the key drivers(30)the unprecedented success of recent female led films.Female audiences have actually become a quality demographic the Chinese film industry is attempting to appeal to.This leads to more opportunities for female directors in a traditionally male dominated industry,with the recognition of their contributions(30)(give) women more say in how their stories are told,which will have a long lasting impact on the Chinese film industry. Section B Directions:After reading the passage below,fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one more word than you need. A.cutting edge B.underexplored C.biased D.resonates E.expansion F.dialogue AD.imposing BC.shattering BD.all around CD.modernizing ABC.reception For a long time,there has been a lingering concern in the West about the expanding influence of Chinese culture.Some even exaggerate this growth as a potential threat to Western civilization. The arrival of Ne Zha challenges and disrupts such(31)perceptions of Chinese culture. In 2019,the animated film Ne Zha became a global cultural phenomenon.Four years later,its sequel,Ne Zha 2,has again(32)records,grossing an astonishing 12.5 billion yuan(around $1.7 billion)as of Sunday evening and becoming the highest grossing film ever in a single market Unlike the West,whose cultural dominance was historically tied to colonial expansion and religious missions,China's path to cultural influence is fundamentally different.In today's high tech era,films like Ne Zha 2 demonstrate how technology,storytelling,and cultural heritage can converge to create a new cultural exchange model rooted in(33)rather than domination. Western audiences are no strangers to mythology based storytelling.However,Chinese mythology remains relatively (34)in the global entertainment landscape despite its rich history and universal themes.This is partly due to cultural and historical differences. Ne Zha faced this challenge head on by (35)the character and emphasizing universal themes like individuality,family and self determination.The film's main character,a playful yet endearing anti hero,captured the imagination of younger audiences,while its high quality animation and humor made it accessible to viewers unfamiliar with Chinese legends. Ne Zha 2 builds on this foundation,combining (36)animation with a more polished narrative structure.However,the overseas(37)of both films also underscores the limitations of cultural translation.This highlights a key challenge for Chinese cultural exports:bridging the gap between deeply rooted cultural norms and the expectations of global audiences. Ne Zha 2 (38)with audiences worldwide,and the cultural impact it brings adds new vitality to this global (39).While challenges remain,Ne Zha 2 will prove that cultural exchange in the 21st century is not about (40)one's values but finding common ground through shared stories. III.Reading Comprehension Section A Millennials and Gen Z are falling hard for soft toys At London's Selfridges department store,a Jellycat pop up transformed the traditional fish and chip shop experience into a toy adventure.Customers could (41)cute fish toy accompanied with fluffy(毛绒绒的)lemons and soft peas instead of food..The cheapest item was priced at $25,twice the cost of a real meal.This(42)concept not only showcases the global surge in soft toy popularity but also highlights a new trend in consumer behavior.

Interestingly,it's not young children driving this demand but "kidults"aged 12 and above.In 2023,kidsults accounted for over a quarter of toy sales,(46)preschoolers as the largest age group for toy purchases.The craze began during the pandemic when teenagers and young adults, stuck at home,sought (47)in playthings.Lucy Dray,owner of an online soft toy shop called Baby Beans,notes that plushies()bring happiness and comfort-states often hard to find nowadays.Social media pop psychologists advocate(48)with one's younger self through these toys,with some influencers claiming collecting luxury teddy bears heals their inner child. With many individuals on(49)parenthood until their late 20s or early 30s,kidults have more income to spend on themselves.Prices for soft toys range from 10 to 250,with limited editions fetching thousands on platforms like eBay.Collectors re not put off by steep prices;if anything,(50)adds appeal.Obtaining a rare plushie can be similar to securing a hit concert ticket or a prized sports trading card,offering bragging rights.Celebrity support from figures such as Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga further boost(51). Some critics argue that the plushie craze signifies an infantilized generation.(52),trivial treasures have thrived throughout history-from Cabbage Patch Kids in the 1980s to Beanie Babies in the 1990s.Dave Neale of Cambridge University suggests while specific toys may lose novelty over time,play itself remains broad and(53),unlikely to fade away anytime soon. For the time being,plushies remain (54)in bedrooms worldwide.When Paco the Salamander,a toy influencer,joked on TikTok that she was "ready to grow up"and get rid of her sizeable plushie collection,her followers(55)that "you're never too old"to own hem.As we move forward,the enduring charm of soft toys continues to captivate audiences of all ages, offering comfort,joy,and a touch of nostalgia in a rapidly changing world. 41.A.exchange B.require C.purchase D.anticipate 42.A.insightful B.playful C.meaningful D.mindful 43.A.diversified B.soft C.noisy D.advanced 44.A.request B.devotion C.promotion D.demand 45.A.illustrating B.influencing C.calculating D.exceeding 46.A.surpassing B.paralleling C.stimulating D.cultivating 47.A.relief B.belief C.relief D.variety 48.A.reconnecting B.wrestling C.recollecting D.entertaining 49.A.assuming B.delaying C.demanding D.scheduling 50.A.security B.curiosity C.rarity D.availability 51.A.desirability B.sustainability C.sociability D.maturity 52.A.Instead B.Therefore C.However D.Furthermore 53.A.practical B.current C.blurred D.varied 54.A.fixtures B.alternatives C.innovation D.evolution 55.A.opposed B.suspected C.insisted D.questioned Section B (A) In the dimly lit corridor of the old apartment building,Mrs.Chan,moved with a grace that seemed almost otherworldly.Her cheongsam,a deep emerald green,clung to her slim frame,the fabric whispering softly with each step.Her eyes,dark and thoughtful,shone with a mixture of longing and restraint(克制).She paused momentarily,her hand resting lightly on the railing(栏杆)， as if the weight of her thoughts had momentarily anchored her to the spot.The faintest of sighs escaped her lips,a sound so delicate it might have been mistaken for the rustle()of silk. Her gaze drifted towards the closed door of Mr.Chow's apartment,and for a fleeting moment, her expression betrayed a vulnerability(that she quickly masked.The corners of her mouth lifted in a faint,almost imperceptible smile,a silent acknowledgment of the unspoken bond that tied them.She straightened her posture,as if to strengthen herself against the tide of emotions threatening to violate her carefully constructed appearance. Mrs.Chan's fingers brushed against the jade bracelet()on her wrist,a habitual gesture that seemed to ground her.The bracelet,a gift from her husband,now felt like a chain,a reminder of the life she was bound to.Her thoughts,however,lingered on Mr.Chow,on the stolen glances and the shared moments that had become the highlight of her otherwise ordinary existence.She took a deep breath,the air filling her lungs with a resolve that was both fragile and firm.With a final glance at the door,she turned and walked away,her footsteps echoing softly in the empty corridor. 56.The language style of the passage is characterized by A.A poetic style with restrained undertones B.A jumping narrative that touches on many topics C.An ironic tone against dishonesty D.A straightforward and journalistic storytelling 57.Mrs.Chan's pause and her hand resting on the railing most likely reflect A.her physical exhaustion from daily chores B.a deliberate attempt to appear graceful and calm C.her desire to avoid encountering Mr.Chow D.a moment of emotional hesitation and inner mess 58.The description of Mrs.Chan's "faint,almost imperceptible smile"suggests that she is A.secretly amused by Mr.Chow's actions B.struggling to contain her feelings of affection and longing C.indifferent to the emotional tension between them D.confidently planning her next move in their relationship 59.Mrs.Chan's gesture of touching her jade bracelet is best interpreted as A.a symbol of her attachment to her husband and her compulsory marriage B.a sign of her regret for the insensible choices she has made in her life C.a subconscious attempt to seek comfort in a moment of emotional vulnerability D.a deliberate reminder to herself to maintain emotional distance from Mr.Chow (B) Sonnet18 -By William Shakespeare Shall I compare thee'to a summer's day?

(C) From their apartment in Connecticut,Beth Wang and her partner watched TikTok go down in midJanuary with dread-but quickly found a new source of entertainment and human connection on the Chinese app RedNote. Ms.Wang,a native Kansan who has never set foot in China,flocked to the social media platform along with an estimated 700,000 American "TikTok refugees"after the U.S. government moved to ban TikTok over national security concerns.RedNote,or Xiaohongshu,is one of China's biggest social media platforms,with an estimated 300 million users in China- many of whom welcomed the Americans with warmth and curiosity. "You have a very organic and very authentic exchange of people's thoughts on a particular issue"on RedNote that creates a sense of community,says Ivy Yang,founder of Wavelet Strategy."That's the magic of RedNote." As Ms.Wang dove in,more than 7,400 miles away in the eastern city of Hangzhou,Melody, the creative director of a Chinese advertising firm,was curiously watching the Americans flood into her RedNote space."Welcome to my great country!"Melody wrote in a post,sharing a photo montage of her travels in China and offering to help the U.S.arrivals navigate RedNote.As conversations moved from superficial to deep,Melody found herself connecting with people in the U.S.who were struggling."I encouraged and comforted several Americans who were going through tough times,"she says.She met people who were unemployed,or were raising children with disabilities.A farmer in rural America described the hardships of his life-a revelation for Melody."One of the most significant shocks for me from TikTok refugees is the psychological trauma that ordinary Americans seem to be experiencing,"she says. For her part,Ms.Wang also found a caring,empathetic environment on RedNote,which in China is known for having predominantly female users with higher levels of education.Travel tips, restaurant reviews,and fashion and makeup advice are popular topics on the platform.China's RedNote users even joke that they don't call each other "bro"because they are essentially a “matriarchal society(母系氏族)." "It is the most humane kind of internet space I have ever been on,"she says,calling it “uplifting." Besides,she's also connected with women who are planning their weddings in China-and has marveled at the similarities as she plans her own marriage in the U.S."The brides in the comments are all like,'It is so hard to find a live band that is affordable and also good,'"says Ms.Wang."I'm like,'Girls in America are having that problem!'The biggest message I have gotten on this app is our sameness."She plans not only to stick with RedNote,but also to learn Chinese and travel to China. Still,with TikTok returning to U.S.phones,and RedNote reportedly rushing to hire Englishspeaking moderators(),some predict this relatively open line of communication between the two countries may prove fleeting(飞逝的).But Melody isn't disheartened.“Let's take this opportunity to make as many new friends as possible,"she says. 63.What initially motivated American users to migrate to RedNote responding to the TikTok ban? A.The platform's unique algorithmic feed and multimedia features. B.A desire to explore Chinese culture and connect with its users. C.The need to seek online recreation and socialization and oppose the prohibition. D.The opportunity to participate in a predominantly female online community. 64.What is "the magic of RedNote,"according to Ivy Yang? A.Its capacity to foster genuine dialogue and mutual understanding among diverse users. B.Its innovative use of algorithms to deliver highly engaging multimedia content. C.Its ability to bridge cultural gaps by promoting Chinese traditions globally. D.Its role as a platform for organizing largescale social and political movements. 65.What aspect of the American users'experiences on RedNote did Melody find most striking? A.Their enthusiasm for sharing personal stories about their daily lives. B.The prevalence of psychological struggles among ordinary Americans. C.Their rapid adaptation to the platform's translation tools and features. D.Their curiosity about Chinese traditions and cultural practices. 66.What characterizes the predominant user base of RedNote in China,according to Ms.Wang? A.A focus on political activism and social justice issues. B.A highly educated,femaledominated community sharing lifestyle content. C.A preference for discussing international news and global trends. D.A strong cmphasis on technological innovation and digital marketing. Section C Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.Later,it emerged that Korean tourists came to Shanghai not only to experience the fresh Chinese culture but also had a specific preference for their travel:it is quite "big!" B.The travel boom stems from the implementation of China's unilateral visa free policy for South Korean passport holders since November 8. C.Shanghai's popularity as a tourist destination has risen sharply due to the city's rich history, unique architecture,and diverse cultural offerings. D.However,this time he decided to take a short term vacation in Shanghai and organized a company team building trip with his colleagues. AB.South Korean tourists have expressed their interest in traveling to Shanghai because of the city's booming economy and growing business opportunities. AC.Bookings for trips to Shanghai from South Korea have surged by over 180 percent year over year and more than 40 percent compared with a month earlier. On a weekend night,in Fengshengli,one of the bustling areas in downtown Shanghai,a group of South Koreans stepped into a Tsingtao restaurant.They drank,chatted,and reveled in the vibrant nightlife of the city. This was part of a weekend getaway in Shanghai for Kim Jeongyeon,a Korean automotive designer.In the past,his visits were mostly for market research.(67) "The main reason we chose to travel to Shanghai is the visa free policy for South Koreans coming to China,"Kim said."I truly love China,especially Shanghai.The people here are incredibly open." This is not an isolated case amidst the surge in South Koreans traveling to Shanghai.Over the past month,the city has seen a noticeably high concentration of South Korean tourists. "You can hardly walk a few steps without encountering a group of Korean men with perfectly styled bowl cuts or women with flawless,glowing skin,"was one online comment. (68) Initially allowing a 15 day stay,the policy was later extended to 30 days, leading to a significant increase in bookings for trips to China from South Korea. Thanks to its rich tourism resources,Shanghai has become the top choice for young South Koreans who have jumped on the bandwagon of weekend trips to China. Data from China's global travel service provider Trip.com shows that Shanghai has topped the list of the most popular Chinese cities for South Korean tourists.(69) As people stroll down Madang Road,they will notice the long line outside the former site of the provisional government of the Republic of Korea.Korean social media has been flooded with posts about trips to Shanghai,with many citing the visa free policy,proximity,and high level of intemationalization as primary reasons for choosing Shanghai as their first destination. Many may have assumed initially that the influx of Korean tourists to Shanghai was driven by sheer convenience.Budget flights from Jeju Island to Shanghai Pudong,costing as little as 300 plus yuan and taking only 90 minutes,make the journey incredibly accessible.(70) Many tourists were astonished to find that Shanghai,despite being ranked outside the top 30 in terms of land area within China,was roughly ten times larger than Seoul. They have also noticed that when they visit similar attractions in Shanghai as in their home country,they feel like they're getting an "upgraded"version.These attractions are generally larger and offer a richer variety of experiences. Korean Xiaohongshu blogger Lili,citing a top Internet buzzword of 2024 "city bu city"to praise Shanghai,said:"I think Shanghai has so many fun places and delicious food.It's so city!"
