Although five years younger than Liang Wenfeng, Wang Xingxing from Zhejiang Province set up Unitree, a world famous technology company which developed the robots used in the dance performance “YangBOT”. These robots are not only for fun but also help in different tasks, such as carrying heavy objects and even taking part in rescue (救援).
Feng Ji who was born in 1982 in Jingzhou, Hubei created a high-quality gaming Black Myth: Wukong (黑神话:悟空), China’s first big 3A game and won a prize.

【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Since the movie came out, it has broken the box office (票房) in Chinese film history and became a hit.”可知,电影打破了票房纪录,说明它取得了巨大成功。因此,“became a hit”意为“取得成功”。故选C。

Passage 4
①A smartphone is a phone that combines (合并) things like a phone, clock, camera and computer into one small device (装置). It can make calls like a phone, but it can also access the Internet. Using the Internet, smartphones can play music, take pictures and videos, and check the weather in cities all around the world. But how did the age of smartphones begin?
②In 1992, the company IBM created the first smartphone. It was a phone that included a program for writing notes to remember things. It also had a program for showing people dates and times of planned events. This early smartphone could send emails as well. However, this phone never became very popular. For one thing, it was too expensive for many people.
③Other companies then started to work on new phone technology. Companies such as Nokia and Ericsson next introduced their smartphones to the market. In fact, it was the Ericsson company that created the word “smartphone” in 1997. However, these smartphones also achieved little success.
④In 1999, the Blackberry was introduced. This was the first smartphone that was widely used by phone users. The Blackberry was a phone with a keyboard that made it easy to use the Internet and send text messages and emails. The Blackberry was popular with people working in business or in technology. But common phone users still didn’t buy many of them.
⑤In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone. Not long after that, in 2008, Google introduced the Android phone to the world. These new smartphones from Apple and Google were marketed to all phone users. The goal was to make the smartphone easy to use and something everyone would want. Just as hoped, less than 10 years later, there were over 2 billion smartphone users. Not only is it safe to say that smartphones are taking over the world, but there will soon be a time when people can’t remember when phones only made calls.
13. What does the underlined word access probably mean in the passage?
A. connect to B. take in C. check out D. turn off
14. Which is NOT the advantage of the first smartphone?
A. It helped people remember things by writing notes with a program.
B. It could show people dates and times of planned events.
C. People could send emails with it.
D. It didn’t cost people too much.
15. Which company invented the word “smartphone”?
A. Nokia. B. Ericsson. C. Blackberry. D. Apple.
16. Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】13. A 14. D 15. B 16. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了智能手机的发展历程。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Using the Internet, smartphones can play music, take pictures and videos, and check the weather in cities all around the world.”可知,智能手机可以利用互联网做很多事情,所以推测access the Internet表示“连接互联网”,access意为“连接到”,与connect to意思相近,故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据“For one thing, it was too expensive for many people.”可知,第一部智能手机的缺点是对很多人来说太贵了,D选项“它不会花费人们太多钱”表述错误,故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In fact, it was the Ericsson company that created the word ‘smartphone’ in 1997.”可知,是爱立信公司创造了“智能手机”这个词,故选B。

“The Little Prince” is a famous book written by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It was first published in 1943 and has since become one of the most beloved books in the world. The story is not just for children but also for adults, as it teaches important lessons about life, love, and friendship.
The story is about a little prince who lives on a small planet. He takes care of his planet and loves a special rose that grows there. One day, he decides to leave his planet and explore the universe. During his journey, he visits several other planets and meets different people, such as a king, a businessman, and a lamplighter. Each person he meets teaches him something new about life.
Finally, the little prince arrives on Earth, where he meets a pilot who has crashed (坠毁) in the desert. The pilot becomes his friend, and the little prince shares his thoughts and experiences with him. Through their conversations, the pilot learns to see the world in a different way.
The book is full of beautiful and meaningful quotes. One of the most famous lines is, “What is essential (必不可少的) is invisible (隐形的) to the eye.” This means that the most important things in life, like love and friendship, cannot be seen but must be felt with the heart.

“Going to China after work on Friday” has become a new hot word on social media in South Korea. A larger number of tourists from South Korea are visiting Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province since China allowed visa-free (免签) travel for those from the neighboring country last month.
The breathtaking natural beauty, mountainous scenery and good travel services to South Korean visitors in Zhangjiajie have made it a perfect travel place for people in the country.

Have you watched the cartoon film Ne Zha 2? Have you heard of DeepSeek recently? Surprisingly, they are all created by young power who are leading China to a better future. Four of them are especially excellent. Let’s take a look at what achievements they have made:
Yang Yu (Jiao Zi) the director of “Ne Zha 2” was born in 1980 in Luzhou, Sichuan province. Just like Ne Zha, he overcame many difficulties, spending five years, bringing traditional stories to life with creativity. Besides, the movie has more than 1,900 special effect shots that are really amazing. Since the movie came out, it has broken the box office (票房) in Chinese film history and became a hit.
Born in 1985 in a small town in Guangdong province, Liang Wenfeng showed a strong interest in AI technology from a young age and founded DeepSeek in 2023. Now DeepSeek’s app became the most downloaded free app in both China and the US.
Although five years younger than Liang Wenfeng, Wang Xingxing from Zhejiang Province set up Unitree, a world famous technology company which developed the robots used in the dance performance “YangBOT”. These robots are not only for fun but also help in different tasks, such as carrying heavy objects and even taking part in rescue (救援).
Feng Ji who was born in 1982 in Jingzhou, Hubei created a high-quality gaming Black Myth: Wukong (黑神话:悟空), China’s first big 3A game and won a prize.
These young people are hard-working and not afraid to try new things, facing challenges bravely. They are truly role models and their unexpected success is an inspiration to all the Chinese.

A. Over 1,980. B. About 1,980. C. Over 1,900. D. Less than 1,900.

Passage 4
①A smartphone is a phone that combines (合并) things like a phone, clock, camera and computer into one small device (装置). It can make calls like a phone, but it can also access the Internet. Using the Internet, smartphones can play music, take pictures and videos, and check the weather in cities all around the world. But how did the age of smartphones begin?
②In 1992, the company IBM created the first smartphone. It was a phone that included a program for writing notes to remember things. It also had a program for showing people dates and times of planned events. This early smartphone could send emails as well. However, this phone never became very popular. For one thing, it was too expensive for many people.
③Other companies then started to work on new phone technology. Companies such as Nokia and Ericsson next introduced their smartphones to the market. In fact, it was the Ericsson company that created the word “smartphone” in 1997. However, these smartphones also achieved little success.
④In 1999, the Blackberry was introduced. This was the first smartphone that was widely used by phone users. The Blackberry was a phone with a keyboard that made it easy to use the Internet and send text messages and emails. The Blackberry was popular with people working in business or in technology. But common phone users still didn’t buy many of them.
⑤In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone. Not long after that, in 2008, Google introduced the Android phone to the world. These new smartphones from Apple and Google were marketed to all phone users. The goal was to make the smartphone easy to use and something everyone would want. Just as hoped, less than 10 years later, there were over 2 billion smartphone users. Not only is it safe to say that smartphones are taking over the world, but there will soon be a time when people can’t remember when phones only made calls.
13. What does the underlined word access probably mean in the passage?
A. connect to B. take in C. check out D. turn off
14. Which is NOT the advantage of the first smartphone?
A. It helped people remember things by writing notes with a program.
B It could show people dates and times of planned events.
C. People could send emails with it.
D. It didn’t cost people too much.
15. Which company invented the word “smartphone”?
A. Nokia. B. Ericsson. C. Blackberry. D. Apple.
16. Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
A. B. C. D.

“The Little Prince” is a famous book written by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It was first published in 1943 and has since become one of the most beloved books in the world. The story is not just for children but also for adults, as it teaches important lessons about life, love, and friendship.
The story is about a little prince who lives on a small planet. He takes care of his planet and loves a special rose that grows there. One day he decides to leave his planet and explore the universe. During his journey, he visits several other planets and meets different people, such as a king, a businessman, and a lamplighter. Each person he meets teaches him something new about life.
Finally, the little prince arrives on Earth, where he meets a pilot who has crashed (坠毁) in the desert. The pilot becomes his friend, and the little prince shares his thoughts and experiences with him. Through their conversations, the pilot learns to see the world in a different way.
The book is full of beautiful and meaningful quotes. One of the most famous lines is, “What is essential (必不可少的) is invisible (隐形的) to the eye.” This means that the most important things in life, like love and friendship, cannot be seen but must be felt with the heart.
“The Little Prince” is a simple yet deep story that reminds us to cherish (珍视) the people and things we love. It encourages us to look at the world with curiosity (好奇心) and kindness. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it!
