A special and amazing performance called YangBOT at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, attracted audiences on January 28, 2025. It was directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese Yangko dance with modern robot technology.
In the performance, robots dressed in colorful costumes and danced with 16 human dancers. They performed a traditional Yangko dance, which is a joyful folk art form from northeast China. One of the most interesting moments came when the robots threw handkerchiefs (手绢) into the air. These robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success—in 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben” danced alongside the singer Andy Lau.
The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航) to move safely on the stage. Their strong joints (关节), which can reach a power of 360N·m, helped them balance perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun—it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.”
The robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended (热议) quickly. Young people called it “cool”, while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit.
The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s technology progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!”
32.Who directed the YangBOT performance?
A.Andy Lau. B.Zhang Yimou. C.Unitree Company. D.A social media fan.
33.Which company developed the dancing robots?
A.CCTV. B.Ben Ben Group. C.Unitree. D.A northeast Chinese art team.
34.How did the robots learn dance moves?
A.By watching human dancers. B.By learning through AI technology.
C.By learning from traditional Yangko teachers. D.By using social media videos.
35.Why did the young people think the YangBOT performance was “cool”?
A.Because they didn’t like traditional Yangko dance.
B.Because the robots’ high-tech elements attracted them.
C.Because they didn’t understand the meaning of the show.
D.Because they only liked modern art forms.
【答案】32.B 33.C 34.B 35.B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了在2025年央视春晚上,由著名导演张艺谋执导的名为“YangBOT”的特别表演,该表演将中国传统秧歌舞与现代机器人技术相结合,吸引了大量观众。

For many of us, there’s nothing better than burying our head in a good book. Whether it’s a funny story or a biography of someone’s amazing life, it’s good to read a book to break from the worries of everyday life and help us relax. Maybe that’s why some of them are actually regarded as a way to treat the sickness.
It’s known that reading is good for us. It can be educational, and, as some say, it can open the mind. A good novel can make us happy or sad, or make us cry as we feel pity for the characters.
The power of books was realized a few years ago by the British Charity Reading Agency (BCRA ), who came out a list of books that doctors could offer to patients, dealing with different diseases. It called this “bibliography (参考文献)” and it’s become so successful that it’s about to be used for educating children as well.
Professor Philip Davis studies the effects of books at Liverpool University and is the writer of a book called Reading for Life. He studied people in reading groups and found that reading has art values that has the best effect. He told the BBC that when reading something for pleasure, the brain begins to work from different parts, and it gets excited, and you can see the brain coming to life.
Of course, it’s easy in our smartphone generation to put away a good book and play with our phones instead. But opening up a book could be a simple way to help increase or keep our mind health. It’s thought they can help you set goals and find the keys. And they may allow you to see that embarrassing situation you’ve been worried about for weeks by standing in others’shoes.
If you’re not an experienced reader, it can be hard to know where to begin. If the Reading Agency book list doesn’t interest you, you could read book reviews, visit a library or bookshop or ask a friend. Once you’ve found the right text, you’ll lose yourself in it ! And if you still love your technology, you could always use an e-reader.
36.Who may have benefited (受益) from the books of the BCRA?
A.Doctors. B.Patients. C.Nurses. D.Visitors.
37.Which opinion will Professor Philip Davis probably agree with?
A.Parents should offer children different books. B.Readers may never get their brains excited.
C.We had better read books we’re interested in. D.Young people can play with phones instead.
38.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Readers. B.Smartphones. C.Writers. D.Books.
39.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Reading a book helps us break from the worries of everyday life.
B.Only a biography of someone’s amazing life can make us relax.
C.Reading can not only be educational, but also open our mind.
D.Opening up a book could be a simple way to keep our mind health.
40.What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A.To encourage us to read more books. B.To advise us to buy different kinds of books.
C.To show us the ways of choosing books online. D.To give us the reasons for reading book reviews.
【答案】36.B 37.C 38.D 39.B 40.A

PEER PRESSURE
Peers are people who are about the same age as you. Peer pressure (压力) is when one or more friends or people your own age make you feel stressed to do something. You feel as if you have to do that thing because your peers are doing it,or are trying to make you do it.
Good peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something good. You might do something good for you, for others, or for the environment. Bad peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something you shouldn’t do. For example, it might be something that goes against rules, something dangerous, or something bad for your health. It might also be something that goes against your values, or what you believe is good or right.
If a friend tries to pressure you to do something, you might feel you should do it to please your friend. You might even feel that the person will not be your friend if you do not do it. People often want to be accepted by their peers and not feel as if they stand out because they are different in some way. Sometimes people are afraid others will make fun of them if they do not do what everyone else is doing.
Here are some questions to ask yourself when you feel peer pressure to do something:
· Could I get into trouble for doing this?
· Might doing this hurt myself or another person, or hurt someone’s feelings?
· Does this go against my values?
· Will I feel sorry or embarrassed if my family, teachers, or others find out about it?
If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you are feeling bad peer pressure. If people keep pressuring you, say, “I do not want to talk about it anymore.” Then walk away and feel proud that you made a good decision.

Oxfam International, usually known as Oxfam, is one of the biggest charities. Oxfam’s ideas are simple: everybody in the world must have the right to live, f 66 to keep them healthy, clean water to drink and medical care. All these ideas are connected.
Oxfam began its work d 67 World War Ⅱ. At that time the Greeks didn’t have enough to eat because of the war. People in Oxford d 68 to give money and food to people in Greece. So the name Oxfam comes from two w 69 —Oxford and Famine (饥荒).
After the war Oxfam joined other organizations to form Oxfam International. Nowadays this charity helps people in over ninety c 70 in Africa, South America and Asia.
Oxfam works in two ways. Firstly, it o 71 help in emergencies (紧急事件). In 2010 there was a big earthquake in Haiti. Over 200,000 people died and many more l 72 their homes. Doctors and volunteers provided medical help and gave out food and brought clean water to the villages. The s 73 way Oxfam works is to help people prevent future disasters. Oxfam has started a project called GROW, which helps farmers produce more and better food.

【导语】本文介绍了国际慈善组织“乐施会”的起源、宗旨、工作方式以及筹集资金的方法。
66.句意:“乐施会”的理念很简单:世界上每个人都必须有生存的权利、维持健康的食物、干净的饮用水和医疗保健。根据“the right to live, ...to keep them healthy, clean water to drink”可知,这几个并列结构都是不定式作后置定语修饰名词,本空应该填写一个名词,food“食物”符合语境。故填(f)ood。
67.句意:“乐施会”在第二次世界大战期间开始工作。根据“Oxfam began its work...World War Ⅱ.”可知,本空缺少介词,during“在……期间”符合语境。故填(d)uring。
68.句意:牛津人决定给希腊人钱和食物。根据“People in Oxford...to give money and food”可知,本空缺少谓语动词;decide意为“决定”,decide to do sth.表示“决定做某事”,符合语境;根据前一句可知,时态为一般过去时,应该填写decide的过去式。故填(d)ecided。
69.句意:所以“乐施会”这个名字是由两个词组成的——牛津和饥荒。根据“two”可知,本空缺少一个复数名词;根据“Oxford and Famine”可知,word“词”符合语境。故填(w)ords。
70.句意:如今,这个慈善组织帮助来自非洲、南美洲和亚洲的九十多个城市的人。根据“over ninety”可知,本空缺少一个复数名词;根据后置定语“in Africa, South America and Asia”可推知,city“城市”符合语境。故填(c)ities。
71.句意:首先,它在紧急事件中提供帮助。根据“it...help in emergencies”可知,本空缺少谓语动词,offer“提供”符合语境;根据前一句可知,时态为一般现在时,主语为it,用其第三人称单数形式。故填(o)ffers。
72.句意:20多万人死亡,更多的人失去家园。根据“many more...their homes”可知,本句缺少谓语动词,lose“失去”符合语境;and连接两个并列结构,根据“Over 200,000 people died”可知,本句时态为一般过去时,填写lose的过去式。故填(l)ost。
73.句意:“乐施会”的第二种工作方式是帮助人们预防未来的灾难。根据“Oxfam works in two ways. Firstly...”和“The...way Oxfam works is to help people”可知,本句介绍的是“乐施会”的第二种工作方式,second“第二的”符合语境。故填(s)econd。
74.句意:为了筹集资金,这个慈善机构经营了慈善商店,在那里你可以买到人们捐赠的东西,比如衣服、玩具和食物。根据“you can buy things that people...”可知,本空缺少定语从句中的谓语动词,根据“like clothes, toys and food”可推知,donate“捐赠”符合语境;本句属于一般性描述,时态为一般现在时,主语为people,谓语填动词原形。故填(d)onate。
75.句意:慈善大使们有不同的技能,但是他们传达的信息是一样的——我们应该做力所能及的事来帮助有需要的人!根据“Ambassadors have different skills”和“the message they send is the same”可知,两句为转折关系,but“但是”符合语境。故填(b)ut。

【答案】例文
I’m happy to hear that our school will hold an activity to encourage us to write about changes around us. In the past, there were only narrow and dirty roads in our city. But now the roads are wide and clean, with many green trees on both sides. Years ago, people lived in small and old houses. Now most of them have moved into new flats. The living conditions are becoming better. In the past, people travelled around the city on foot or by bicycle, but now they can go ground by bus or underground. For travelling, they hardly took a trip in the past, now they can not only travel within the country, but also also travel abroad. People in the past could only read paper books, but now they can read e-books.
I think in some ways life is better now. However, too many cars lead to air pollution in our city. I hope more and more people can realize the problem and protect the environment. It’s good to see the amazing changes around us.

A special and amazing performance called YangBOT at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, attracted audiences on January 28, 2025. It was directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese Yangko dance with modern robot technology.
In the performance, robots dressed in colorful costumes and danced with 16 human dancers. They performed a traditional Yangko dance, which is a joyful folk art form from northeast China. One of the most interesting moments came when the robots threw handkerchiefs (手绢) into the air. These robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success—in 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben” danced alongside the singer Andy Lau.
The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航) to move safely on the stage. Their strong joints (关节), which can reach a power of 360N·m, helped them balance perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun—it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.”
The robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended (热议) quickly. Young people called it “cool”, while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit.
The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s technology progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!”
32.Who directed the YangBOT performance?
A.Andy Lau. B.Zhang Yimou. C.Unitree Company. D.A social media fan.
33.Which company developed the dancing robots?
A.CCTV. B.Ben Ben Group. C.Unitree. D.A northeast Chinese art team.
34.How did the robots learn dance moves?
A.By watching human dancers. B.By learning through AI technology.
C.By learning from traditional Yangko teachers. D.By using social media videos.
35.Why did the young people think the YangBOT performance was “cool”?
A.Because they didn’t like traditional Yangko dance.
B.Because the robots’ high-tech elements attracted them.
C.Because they didn’t understand the meaning of the show.
D.Because they only liked modern art forms.

For many of us, there’s nothing better than burying our head in a good book. Whether it’s a funny story or a biography of someone’s amazing life, it’s good to read a book to break from the worries of everyday life and help us relax. Maybe that’s why some of them are actually regarded as a way to treat the sickness.
It’s known that reading is good for us. It can be educational, and, as some say, it can open the mind. A good novel can make us happy or sad, or make us cry as we feel pity for the characters.
The power of books was realized a few years ago by the British Charity Reading Agency (BCRA ), who came out a list of books that doctors could offer to patients, dealing with different diseases. It called this “bibliography (参考文献)” and it’s become so successful that it’s about to be used for educating children as well.
Professor Philip Davis studies the effects of books at Liverpool University and is the writer of a book called Reading for Life. He studied people in reading groups and found that reading has art values that has the best effect.

PEER PRESSURE
Peers are people who are about the same age as you. Peer pressure (压力) is when one or more friends or people your own age make you feel stressed to do something. You feel as if you have to do that thing because your peers are doing it,or are trying to make you do it.
Good peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something good. You might do something good for you, for others, or for the environment. Bad peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something you shouldn’t do. For example, it might be something that goes against rules, something dangerous, or something bad for your health. It might also be something that goes against your values, or what you believe is good or right.
If a friend tries to pressure you to do something, you might feel you should do it to please your friend. You might even feel that the person will not be your friend if you do not do it. People often want to be accepted by their peers and not feel as if they stand out because they are different in some way. Sometimes people are afraid others will make fun of them if they do not do what everyone else is doing.
Here are some questions to ask yourself when you feel peer pressure to do something:
· Could I get into trouble for doing this?
· Might doing this hurt myself or another person, or hurt someone’s feelings?
· Does this go against my values?
· Will I feel sorry or embarrassed if my family, teachers, or others find out about it?
If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you are feeling bad peer pressure. If people keep pressuring you, say, “I do not want to talk about it anymore.” Then walk away and feel proud that you made a good decision.
