一、完形填空（共10小题，满分10分)

阅读下面短文，从各题A、B、C、D中选出能填入文章中相应空白处的最佳答案。

What subject do you worry about the most at school? For many students, ___1___ tops the list. Some students are ___2___ troubled that they can’t fall asleep the night before a math exam. Their minds are filled with worries about difficult problems. During the exam itself, others may feel extremely nervous, with their hearts beating fast and hands shaking. However, there might be an unexpected way to reduce this stress.

“For students ___3___ are worried about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Peper, a researcher from a university, told Daily Mail. It turns out that sitting up ___4___ can be a game-changer in math exams. Researchers carried out a test on 125 college students. They asked the students to take a math exam in ___5___ different postures: sitting in a slumped-over (弯腰驼背的) position and sitting up straight. During the test, the students’ expressions on their faces and body language ___6___ showed the difference. After the test, 56% of the students reported that the exam seemed easier when they were sitting up straight.

Slumping over is a defensive (戒备) posture. It has the possibility to cause negative (消极的) memories in ___7___ the body and the brain. These bad connections can mess up your thinking and stop you from thinking clearly about math problems, as Peper explained. On the other hand, students who were not too nervous about the math exam didn’t necessarily get an advantage from better posture. ___8___ interestingly, they still found that

doing math in a slumped-over position was more challenging, as reported by Science Daily.

Good posture isn’t just helpful for math exams. Musicians can find that sitting or standing properly helps them play more smoothly and expressively. Sports players can improve their performance ___9___ keeping an upright standing posture. Public speakers can get more attention and project confidence. When you’re feeling stressed, ___10___ sitting up straight or standing tall. It can change your feelings, making you feel more focus better. So, next time you have an exam or face a stressful situation, remember the power of good posture.

Shanbei storytelling is an important form of storytelling and folk art in the northwest China. It is mainly popular in areas like Yanan and Yulin in northern Shanxi Province. It started as a way for blind artists to make a living by singing traditional stories. Over time, it absorbed (吸收) the tunes of Qinqiang Opera and Xintianyou, and

gradually became a form of storytelling that could be performed with long stories and singing. The performance is done by one person who sings and plays an instrument at the same time. The instrument can be a sanxian, a three-stringed (弦) Chinese instrument or a pipa. Besides, there is also a clapper (拍板) made of two wooden boards tied to the performer’s legs to keep the rhythm (节奏).

One person who has made Shanbei storytelling more popular is Xiong Zhuying. He has cleverly connected this traditional art with modern technology and game. In the video game “Black Myth: Wukong,” game developers invited Xiong to introduce elements (元素) of Shanbei Storytelling, making it interesting and enjoyable to younger audiences (观众) who might not experience this traditional art form before.

In the second part of the game, players will meet a monk (和尚) who performs a heartfelt piece of Shanbei music. This short but lively performance, lasting less than two minutes, has got over 10 million views on social media. Its lyrics, “Success and failure, life and death, all are beyond reason,” bring out deep emotions and make listeners think a lot. Xiong and the game developers’ creativity brings Shanbei storytelling back to life, making its future brighter than ever before.

①a sanxian     ②a clapper     ③a pipa     ④a tie     ⑤a wooden board

A. ①② B. ②④ C. ③④ D. ④⑤

13. What do Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. Who made the game Black Myth: Wukong. B. What Shanbei Storytelling is.

Imagine you’re on holiday in another country. After a long day of sightseeing, you get back to your hotel, ready to recharge (充电)—both yourself and your phone. But then you notice something “strange”. That wall outlet (插座) has only two holes, and they’re round. Why does it look so different from the ones at home?

The short answer is that the world’s electrical systems weren’t built by a single person. The development took over 140 years, and different countries came up with their designs.

Early power outlets in the US had just two holes. When you turn on the light, the current (电流) goes from the right hole, through the light, and back to the left hole. In the 1920s, engineers added a “ground” hole to make plugs
