Natural Beauty B At the 2025 CCTV Spring Festival Gala,16 humanoid robots wearing bright flower-patterned jackets danced the traditional yangge, making their creator, Wang Xingxing, famous overnight. Wang, a 35-year-old from Ningbo, had an unusual school life. He found English very hard—his grades were often low. But he was excellent at physics. While classmates studied for exams, he spent hours taking apart old electronics. At 19, using cheap parts costing only 200 yuan, he built his first walking robot. This showed his special talent. Later in college, he created XDog, a low-cost four-legged robot that brought him awards and new chances. In 2016, he started Unitree Robotics to make robots affordable. By 2025, his Hlumanoid robots (price: 650,000 yuan) became famous after their amazing Spring Festival Gala show. Mixing old Chinese dances with new technology, they surprised everyone and became popular online. At the important China Private Entrepreneurs Forum in February 2025, Wang—the youngest person there—sat with famous business leaders like Ren Zhengfei and Lei Jun. His company, now a top tech “dragon” in Hangzhou, leads the world in four-legged robots. Even though he wasn’t good at all subjects, Wang never gave up on robots. His advice to young people “Don’t let your weak points stop you. Keep trying!” His story shows you don’t need to be perfect in everything—just focus on what you love. As his robots succeed worldwide, they teach us: the future is built by brave people who keep trying new ideas. 49. What made Wang Xingxing famous overnight? A. Winning a robotics competition. B.

C While having Chinese classes, we are often amazed at how beautiful the ancient Chinese poems and articles are. However, these ancient texts can be quite obscure sometimes. It’s challenging for many of us to understand them. Here is good news for us. Recently, a college research team from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province has created “Xunzi” to help with the understanding of Chinese ancient books and research on them. Xunzi is a large language model (LLM) which includes a great number of Chinese ancient books and documents, like the collections of the “Complete Library in Four Sections” or “Siku Quanshu”. It uses deep learning techniques (技术) and big data (数据) sets, and collects more than two billion Chinese characters and words. This LLM was named after Xunzi because he was not only a famous philosopher (哲学家) during the Warring States Period, but also a pioneer in presenting and explaining theories of linguistics (语言学理论) in ancient China. With the model, researchers can quickly summarize (总结) the ancient texts and know about the themes of the ancient books. It can also find key information from the ancient texts, such as characters, events and places. Besides, the model can help researchers translate the ancient texts into modern Chinese, so they can fully understand them without the help of other dictionaries or books. “The research on traditional Chinese classics is hard work even for professors, let alone for common learners. We just hope Xunzi can help save some time and energy for people,” said Wang Dongbo, who led the research team. The LLM has been published on websites like github.com and modelscope.cn, allowing users to download and use it for free. “Although we spent great effort and money on it, we still share it for free to encourage more people to study and pay attention to traditional Chinese culture,” Wang added. 53. Which word has a similar meaning to the underlined word “obscure”? A. boring B. popular C. helpful D. difficult 54. How did the LLM get its name? A. It was named after its designer. B. It was based on its big data sets. C. It was named after a great person in Chinese history. D. It was based on a Chinese ancient book. 54. Why does the research team share Xunzi for free? A. Because the model is not as valuable as others. B. Because some websites have asked them to do so. C. Because they hope to help English learners save time and money. D. Because they want more people to learn about Chinese culture. 56. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a useful language model. B. To spread traditional Chinese culture widely. C. To share studies of traditional Chinese classics. D. To show the importance of learning ancient texts. D Once upon a time there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick logs (圆木) that are put on the fire in winter to make cold rooms warm. One fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter (木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red and shiny that it looked like a ripe cherry. As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing (摩擦) his hands together happily, he said to himself, “This has come in time. I shall use it to make the leg of a table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say, “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise! He turned frightened eyes about the room to find out where that voice had come from and he saw no one!He looked under the bench—no one! He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look up and down the street—and still no one! “Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head. “There may be something wrong with my ears. Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood. “Oh, oh! You hurt me!” cried the same far-away little voice. Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide. “Where did that voice come from when there is no one around? This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child? I can hardly believe it. Here it is—a piece of common firewood, the same as any other. Yet—might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I’ll fix him!” With these words, he threw it to the floor, against the walls of the room, and even up to the ceiling. He listened for the tiny voice to cry. He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutes—nothing; ten minutes—nothing. “Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair. “Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a song to get courage, and worked on. “Stop it! Oh, stop it! Ha, ha, ha!You tickle (挠痒) my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor.

More and more people, both at home and abroad, fell in love with it.

As teenagers, life skills are necessary for us. Firstly, we should try our best to keep healthy. It’s a good idea to keep a balanced diet and take daily exercise. Secondly, communicating with others is important. Sometimes we need to work as a team. When we communicate with others, try to understand them. Thirdly, we should keep learning. We should learn some basic skills, such as cooking. We can ask our parents for help or search the Internet, then practise making some dishes. Besides, learn to manage time. We can make a list of things to do every morning. Remember to get up early and never be late for school. What’s more, we should learn to solve problems in different ways. We should believe that we can find out the problem, find solutions to it and then solve it. All in all, if we try our best to improve these life skills, we will lead a happier and happier life.
