American Jake Pinnick comes from a small town called Kewanee.
Pinnick said when he told friends and family he wanted to go to the Wudang Kungfu Academy in China, the response was typical. “It’s not a usual thing to say, but it is pretty normal for kids to want to get out of a place like Kewanee. Most kids say something like they want to move to Hollywood and become an actor,” said the 30-year-old. “When I first thought about it, it was daydreaming for myself, too.”
Once he found himself at the academy, Pinnick said fitting in was softened by other foreigners who were in the area and a part of the school. Getting used to the way of life was surprisingly easy given the peaceful nature to it. Pinnick said after a while, he found himself more at home in Wudang than he ever felt back home in Kewanee. Locals were more than welcoming and willing to engage.
“The culture shock wasn’t that bad. Surprisingly, I find I have more of that going back to America now... learning the language did take some time, but everyone around the school was familiar with foreigners, so we had a lot of fun speaking broken English and Chinese back and forth at the start.”
After he settled into a routine. Pinnick set about engaging himself in Chinese culture, including Kungfu-training. He was also attracted by the philosophical tradition most well-known for the idea of living in harmony with the universe.
Pinnick said he had to go home after the first six months and immediately wanted to return to China, feeling as if it had now become his home more than America, and he had begun a process of rewriting himself as a person overseas.
His life now goes around training, teaching and studying. He graduated from the academy in 2014 and still helps teach there.
Pinnick said the goal is to one day return to America and teach what he has learned. Looking back on his amazing journey, Pinnick said he has grown by leaps and bounds from a small-town American kid who had a daydream he could not shake.
24.What did Pinnick’s family think of his idea of learning Kungfu?
A.Creative. B.Disappointing. C.Challenging. D.Unrealistic.
25.What mainly helped Pinnick get used to the life in China?
A.His fluent Chinese. B.The friendly local culture.
C.His peaceful nature. D.Other foreign teachers there.
26.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Pinnick planned to leave for Hollywood when he was a kid.
B.At the start, Pinnick needn’t spend much time in learning Chinese.
C.Pinnick began to write a book after he settled in Wudang Academy.
D.Pinnick’s life now consists of training, teaching and studying.
27.What did Pinnick gain from his experience in China?
A.A large fortune. B.A career choice.
C.A Kungfu certificate. D.A good reputation.

I know people who say they don’t watch television, and I always nod and agree. Reading requires intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right?
I’m going to Scotland this year, and three different people told me I must watch "Outlander" before I go, which is like "Game of Thrones" for fans of romance novels. I watched the first four-hour-long episodes back to back. When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day on the couch. Research for Scotland?Not exactly.
A few days later I had a library book due: The National Book Award winner The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez. I needed to finish it, so I read the last half straight through. I was absorbed in Nunez’s New York City, worrying about the heroin’s career and her future. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and stood up feeling, well, great.
I had wasted another four hours on my couch. I hadn’t eaten as much junk food because I needed my hands free—and not sticky—so I could turn pages and return the book to the library relatively clean, but I hadn’t moved and once again it was dark outside. Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free?
All the research says reading a book is good for you. It reduces stress, promotes comprehension and imagination, relieves depression, helps you sleep and may contribute to preventing Alzheimer’s(阿尔兹海默症). The act of physically turning a page creates a momentary pause for understanding to sink in. Our brains have to work to translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent (意图) of those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away. But there’s a lot of good TV now. I’d like to say the answer to TV versus books must be, as Aristotle said, "Moderation in all things," though he never had a television or a computer and had to read his scrolls by candlelight. I agree that too much television is bad for you. I know I feel better if I read, but it won’t stop me from watching too: My second DVD of "Outlander" has just arrived, and as soon as I get this essay done, the rest of my day is free.
28. By "I always nod and agree" (paragraph 1), the author implies that ______ .
A. she doesn’t think highly of TV either
B. she believes those who say they don’t watch TV
C. she should be polite to get the conversation to go on
D. she is not willing to admit that she watches television
29. The phrase "back to back" (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to " ______ ".
A. from morning till night B. one after another without a break
C. looking at the opposite direction D. leaning against the back of the couch
30. The author felt better after reading The Friend than watching "Outlander", most probably because ______ .
A. she didn’t feel hungry for any snacks
B. the TV series got her to cancel her trip to Scotland
C. the television series was no more attractive than the book
D. she regarded reading as more rewarding than watching TV
31. What can be concluded from all the research introduced in paragraph 5?
A. Reading is active while watching TV is passive.
B. Reading involves physical exercises while watching TV doesn’t.
C. Reading stimulates the brain to concentrate while watching TV doesn’t.
D. Reading is good for one’s mental health while watching TV is bad for it.
D
Cows love having an open area of grassland to graze on. But in some parts of the world, this is only possible during the summer. In the winter months, it can become too cold for cows to safely stay outside, so they are kept in a large farm building for warmth. Being stuck inside is not always pleasant for the cattle, and their unhappiness is closely connected to less milk production.
For this reason, some cattle owners have fitted their cows with VR headsets that run a program specifically. The program simulates grassland in summer and was designed specifically for the way that cows get color and light. According to the National Library of Medicine, cattle see shades of red the easiest but have a hard time distinguishing between blue and green.
Reports from a farm in Moscow, Russia — where the VR headsets were first developed by vets — found in 2019 that the cows that used the VR headsets saw a decrease in anxiety and an improved mood. This led to an increase in milk production; which went from 5.8 gallons to 7 gallons a day.
Cattle owner Izzet Kocak from Aksaray, Turkey, heard about this experiment and tried the VR headsets on his cows in December 2021. When Kocak put the headsets on his cows, he found an improvement in the emotional well-being of his animals. “They are watching an area of grassland, and it gives them an emotional boost. They are less stressed,” he said.
The technology is now being passed around the world. According to the BBC, the headsets were made specifically for the “structural features of cow heads” by vets, and the animals were shown a “unique summer field simulation program”. The familiar sight of an area of grassland is enough to improve the mood of the entire herd.
Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation says that research has shown a link between a cow’s emotional state and its milk production. They stated, “Examples of dairy farms from different countries show that in a calm atmosphere, the quantity of milk increases markedly.”
32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The cows can produce milk normally in the winter.
B. The cows prefer to live in a misty environment.
C. The VR headsets operate a unique program.
D. The VR headsets only display three colors.
33. What’s the result of cows’ wearing the VR headsets?
A. They could distinguish between blue and green.
B. Their milk production rose accordingly.
C. Their physical health improved greatly.
D. They could adapt to winter easily.
34. What concept is behind the VR headset program?
A. High tech is necessary in the dairy field.
B. A silent environment helps cows stay healthy.
C. Natural grassland is better for the milk quality.
D. A cow with good moods can produce more milk.
35. Which can be the best title for this passage?
A. Keeping cows inside benefits a lot.
B. VR headsets boost milk production.
C. VR technology sees farming development.
D. Depressed emotion affects the quality of milk.

Find your passion
Is there something you love doing more than anything else? Discovering you have a passion for a sport or hobby not only brings you joy — 36 .
What is passion?
Passion describes the strong feeling you have when doing something you love. This could be anything from listening to music, playing sports, drawing, doing puzzles or getting lost in a book. Following your passion doesn’t mean trying to be the best at something or doing it because other people want you to. 37 . It can be something that touches your heart and mind.
Find your flow.
When you're doing something you’re passionate about, you feel less stressed because you can forget your worries. You can go into a “flow state”, when your mind and body are completely absorbed by what you’re doing. When this happens, difficult thoughts and feelings melt away and all that matters is what’s in front of you. If your passion involves learning a new skill or sport, 38 . This can build your challenges while doing something you love.
Discover your passion.
39 . However, passion often begins with a spark of curiosity and grows from there. This spark could be lit by anything, like an inspiring lesson or an exciting goal in a football match. Following this spark can turn it into something meaningful that lifts your heart.
40 .
You can discover passion by trying new activities. Then make time for it. Passion can also be catching. So share interests with your friends and help them find their passion too.
A. Pick your passion
B. Explore different things
C. it can help you to discover your strengths
D. Passion is not always waiting to be discovered
E. It’s vital that you can get some lessons by doing so
F. it can also boost your self-cognition and self-confidence
G. What matters is that you're drawn to an activity because of your feelings

Du Fu is to Chinese literature what Shakespeare is to English literary tradition, and the great poet who wrote in the 56 (eight) century during the Tang dynasty is quoted widely in China today. Unlike English literature of that period — think Beowulf, 57 is not understood and read by readers of modern English, Du Fu’s poetry remains a classic easy to understand for modern Chinese readers.
However, no complete translation of his work was 58 (access) to foreigners until Stephen Owen, a Harvard professor, completed the six-volume, 3,000-page translation of The Poetry of Du Fu in 2016, 59 challenging task which took him 10 years to finish. In order to preserve 60 (vary)in the collection’s poetic voices, Owen thought of himself translating a great play with many characters. Doing it all himself 61 (allow) him to notice literary allusions across centuries, linking each text back to earlier works. Those references can easily be lost, and this is 62 happens when a scholar-translator only works on a single volume.
Usually 63 (consider) one of the most challenging works to translate, Du Fu’s collection of poetry features breadth in many aspects, whether in the choice of the subject, the way he conveys different registers 64 the use of layered meanings. Owen’s critical translation faces the original texts, 65 (bring) a scholarly aid for the first time to English-speaking readers ready to engage with China’s literary lion.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a summer vacation morning, I went to a bookstore with my mom. As we stepped through the entrance, a large sign immediately captured my attention. It read, “Books: Open Doors to New Worlds. Discover, Dream, Delight.” These words seemed to dance in the sunlight, leading me to explore all the wonders they promised.
When we made our way between the shelves, I spotted a beautiful book with a cover that was a masterpiece of colors and images. Unconsciously, my hand reached out to trace the outlines of the illustrations. I turned to my mom, my eyes begging for this book, but she shook her head with a sad expression. Our family was going through a tough time financially, and there was no room for such an expensive purchase. Disappointed, I dragged my feet and left.
The next day, unable to resist the temptation, I found myself back at the store. I slipped the book into my bag, my hands trembling with a mix of excitement and guilt. Just as I was about to leave, the store owner noticed me. I froze, my face flushing with shame as I was caught red-handed. He stared at me, from whose eyes I could feel the judgement. I wanted to disappear, but there was no escape. With a shaky voice, I admitted stealing the book, and promised to make things right. As I walked out, the sign seemed to scold me. It was a reminder that the world I entered by a wrong path was disheartening.
I walked home slowly, each step filled with fear. When I saw my mom, I burst into tears and told her the truth. She looked disappointed, but there was a glimmer of relief in her eyes that I was honest. She hugged me and said softly, “You made a mistake, but you had the courage to face it. Remember, there are always right ways to get what you want.” I nodded. After a moment of silence, my mom said, “Let’s make things right.”
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
As we walked back into the store, my heart was so heavy.
When I finished my summer job in the bookstore, the owner handed me the book with a smile.

As we walked back into the store, my heart was so heavy. However, encouraged by my mom, I gathered the courage and apologized to the store owner. Much to my surprise, the owner came up with(想出)an idea that he would give me the book as a reward for helping him in the store. Following his instructions carefully, I worked hard by dusting(擦去······的灰尘)book covers and arranging books neatly on the shelves. As I was engaged in(做,从事)these tasks during the vacation, I came to realize the value of earning something through honest work.
When I finished my summer job, the owner handed me the book with a smile. I received the book with a sense of pride and gratitude. The owner patted me on the shoulder and offered words of praise. My mom was also proud of me for working diligently(勤奋地)for my small dream. This scene made me even more aware of the significance of my efforts. As I walked out of the store, the sign seemed to smile at me. From that moment on, it was a constant(不断的)reminder that a delightful new world should be unlocked(发现)through honesty and kindness.
