Within an hour of its first show on August 20, the game rose to the top of the global chart on Steam, a leading gaming platform. Over 2.2 million active players were recorded at its peak. ②Adapted from the Chinese classic Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong reimagines the story of its most beloved character. What makes the game special is its amazing pictures, immersive (沉浸式的) gameplay and its deep connection with traditional culture. ③Players not only enjoy the game for its fight and storyline but also for its fine recreation of historical sites. “The ancient buildings in the game are well mixed with the storyline. I’m planning to visit the filming places soon to experience the cultural heritage first-hand.” said a player from Beijing. ④The game developers used 3D technology to recreate these ancient wonders. This makes people understand China’s architectural (建筑的) past. ⑤The game’s influence reaches beyond the world on the Internet, though. An interest in ancient architecture has grown among young people. As a result, Shanxi Province, one of the game’s key filming places, is actively promoting its rich cultural resources to meet the growing need. ④Known as the “treasure trove of ancient Chinese architecture.” Shanxi is home to 531 nationally protected cultural heritage sites. They make up 10.5 percent of China’s total, the highest in the nation. Among 36 filming places of Black Myth: Wukong, 27 are in Shanxi. ⑦One such place is Xiaoxitian Temple in Xi County. Tourists have rushed there to visit the Daxiong Hall, which features amazing 400 year-old sculptures. ⑧We’ve received around 1.500 visitors a day since July, a great increase year on year.” said Liu Xiaogang, the director of the area. “Most of the visitors are fans of the popular game who have travelled a long way to the place.” he added. ⑨On the day of the game’s first show, tourism interest in Shanxi reportedly doubled as much as that of last month. Places in the game, like Yuhuang Temple and Tiefo Temple, all saw a big increase in travelers’ number. Because of this, Shanxi quickly started an ancient architecture tour on August 22. Besides the “Follow Wukong Through Shanxi” route map, it has also developed different kinds of cultural products. 18．Why is Black Myth: Wukong popular among so many players? A．Because it is adapted from Journey to the West. B．Because it is China’s first AAA video game. C．Because of its fight, storyline and historical sites. D．Because of players’ love for the character Wukong. 19．What is the underlined word “promoting” similar to? A．spreading B．searching C．connecting D．praising 20．How does the writer support his idea in Para. 6? A．By telling stories. B．By describing the culture. C．By asking questions. D．By listing numbers. 21．What is the best title for the passage? A．Wukong becomes popular around the country B．Treasure trove of ancient architecture C．Wukong brings new life to ancient architecture D．Tourist attractions in Shanxi province Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you! Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments. In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared (盯着) at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects (受试者) were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them. For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.” 22．The aim of the two experiments is to ________. A．explain when people can have a sixth sense B．study how people act while being watched in the lab C．study whether humans can sense when they are stared at D．prove why humans have a sixth sense 23．The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ________. A．value B．result C．performance D．connection 24．In the second experiment, the subjects _________. A．could tell when they were stared at B．could tell where they weren’t stared at C．couldn’t tell who they were stared at or who they stared at D．couldn’t tell when they were stared at or when they weren’t 25．What can be learned from the passage? A．People are born with a sixth sense. B．The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea. C．The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments. D．People have a sixth sense in all places. 第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Success seems to find Maya Moore everywhere she goes.

Places in the game, like Yuhuang Temple and Tiefo Temple, all saw a big increase in travelers’ number. Because of this, Shanxi quickly started an ancient architecture tour on August 22.

You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you! Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments. In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared (盯着) at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects (受试者) were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them. For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.” 22．The aim of the two experiments is to ________. A．explain when people can have a sixth sense B．study how people act while being watched in the lab C．study whether humans can sense when they are stared at D．prove why humans have a sixth sense 23．The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ________. A．value B．result C．performance D．connection 24．In the second experiment, the subjects _________. A．could tell when they were stared at B．could tell where they weren’t stared at C．couldn’t tell who they were stared at or who they stared at D．couldn’t tell when they were stared at or when they weren’t 25．What can be learned from the passage? A．People are born with a sixth sense. B．The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea. C．The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments. D．People have a sixth sense in all places. 【答案】22．C 23．B 24．D 25．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了一位心理学家通过两个实验来验证人们没有第六感觉的事。 22．细节理解题。根据“To research whether such a ‘sixth sense’ really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.”可知，为了研究“第六感”是否真的存在，肯塔基大学的心理学家罗伯特·贝克做了两个实验。故选C。 23．词句猜测题。根据“Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at.”可知，贝克的试验得出结论，人没有第六感，推测“outcome”指实验的“结果”。故选B。 24．细节理解题。根据“Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.”可知，在第二个实验中，贝克发现，受试者并不更善于分辨何时被盯着看，何时没有。故选D。 25．主旨大意题。通读全文，本文主要讲述了一位心理学家通过两个实验来验证人们是否有第六感，实验结果是否定的。故选C。 第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Success seems to find Maya Moore everywhere she goes.

They may say they are “red-hot” when they are very angry about something. Fast, loud music is also described 45 “red-hot”, especially the kind called Dixieland Jazz.
