The game, which is free to play, combines ancient Chinese classics with modern technology. Players use a WeChat mini-program to scan QR codes on guidebooks and receive missions. The goal is to solve puzzles by finding clues hidden in exhibits like oracle bones, bamboo slips, and rare ancient books. One of the key exhibits is the earliest edition of Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), published in 1180 during the Song Dynasty. To solve the first puzzle, players must understand the text and use a specially designed paper “ruler” that, when folded correctly, reveals the answer. Feng Wanwen, a player, enjoyed this process, saying it required both knowledge and creativity. The game features (以……为特色) 83 exhibits, with over 20 providing clues. Players act as protectors of ancient books, reading and analyzing texts to solve puzzles. Dai Ying, founder of Puzzle Master, the game’s design team, explains that the game encourages players to engage deeply with the exhibits, becoming “cocreators” of the museum’s educational experience. Players can choose between two versions: single-role or three-role. In the single-role version, players investigate why Shan Hai Jing turns its own pages at midnight. The threerole version requires teamwork and competition, as one player is secretly a saboteur. If the saboteur wins, the group faces the “consequences” of failing to protect the ancient books. Since its launch, the game has become extremely popular. By late January 2025, about l,000 players had participated, and reservation positions often sold out within minutes. Feng and her friend spent over an hour completing the game, finding the final puzzle’s answer to be a touching motto about preserving ancient classics. The game is part of the Shanhaishe IP, a virtual community for ancient book protection launched by the museum in 2019. Gu Heng, director of the museum’s exhibition department, hopes to expand similar activities alongside future exhibitions. 1．What can be inferred about the role of the paper “ruler” in the game? A．It presents Song Dynasty history. B．It is only for ancient book experts. C．It needs creative folding to find answers. D．It measures distances between mountains. 2．Why was the game designed to include interactive exhibits?? A．To test players’ memory of ancient texts. B．To promote ancient book preservation. C．To emphasize competition over cooperation. D．To help players understand the exhibits better. 3．What does the underlined word “saboteur” in paragraph 4 mean? A．A player who helps others win. B．A player who designs the puzzles. C．A player who disturbs the game in secret. D．A player who protects ancient books. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

Marble A marble is a small spherical (球形的) object often made from glass. These balls vary in size. Marbles can be used for a variety of games called marbles. 3 Players often use their fingers to “shoot” one marble to hit the opponent’s marble and can acquire it if it was hit. Hide-and-seek It is a popular children’s game in which at least two players hide themselves in a set environment, to be found by one or more seekers. Beanbags Throwing beanbags is a popular traditional Chinese game for kids in the 80s. 4 The pitcher will try to hit the opponent with a beanbag; the one that was hit will be eliminated from the game. The opponent who catches the beanbag will choose to either “add a life” or “save a teammate’s life” from eliminations. Chinese jump rope It is a thin piece of elastic (有弹性的) rope that is looped around two pairs of legs.

Debates they find themselves in involve the latter, and there hasn’t been an occasion (on record) of him winning one for many, many years.

Of course, she knows what fluff is. It’s either 1 or the stuffing that comes out of cheap toys. But it’s not a word she would have guessed. In defense of “Y” ‘s vowelness, he asks, What about “lynx”? Lynx? she replies, incredulous. When have you ever used that aloud? Oh, look, over there, that lynx is about to pounce and 2 out my heart! She is certain that any per-son in such a scenario would use the word “bobcat.” What most infuriates her is the presumption that she must be a whiz at words given her 3 as a writer of books. She is gifted calendar crossword puzzles (yes, three hundred and sixty-five tiny crosswords, one sheet for each day) every December, and is often dragged into long bouts of Words with Friends. In one game, he scores more than seventy points with a well-placed “Q.” She loses that game soon enough and texts him, You’re always doing stuff like that, 4 the value of each word. But that’s how you play—those are the rules, he replies. She calls into question these rules: is the point system for letters really based on frequency, or is it some larger institutional 5 of mind control? He repeats, but those are the rules. On her darkest of writing days, she takes the last sentence she wrote and 6 it up for points. She is immensely disappointed. Then she stares at those cross-word calendars, and they stare back. The five she was gifted this holiday season, plus several from last year. They sit all over her desk like blind cats. Hundreds if not thousands of empty 7 .
