Passage 2
Do you know that there are twelve Chinese zodiac signs, each one represented by an animal? Each one of the twelve animals has its own characteristics and attributes, and each year is represented by a 61 animal. For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, 62 2010 was the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person’s success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born.
However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to choose twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a 63 race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to 64 .
The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor’s feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish line, with Tiger being 65 . Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately noticed it, who said his son could be sixth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came 66 . Then, as Horse and Goat were both 67 and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals 68 falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig.
Some people wonder 69 the cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox’s back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t reach the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always 70 in our daily lives.
The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it’s made up, it’s definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about!

“You don’t 123 me! I can take good care of myself!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him 124 ?
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air could 125 my head. I opened the front door and nearly walked on her:a small black puppy (小狗), just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball, ”I said, then brought her into my home, touching her neck gently.

“Why does she keep barking? ”Jordan came in and asked.
I told him that she was 126 here but she liked being able to play outside as she wanted.

I shook my head at her and patted her, “No, you little thing, you can’t. But it’s for your own good.”
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball.
“I let her out last night…” Jordan said. I quickly rushed outside. Jordan ran after me at once, with 128 in his eyes. Several minutes later, we found the poor thing, unsure if she was well. Jordan was scared, “We need a doctor! Now!”
Luckily, the doctor saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, John stroked her head, all tears. Then, 129 , he turned to me. He said sorry for what he had done. “I know you just want to protect me, ”he whispered. I heard him talking to Meatball, “Looks like we both have to 130 the curfew. It’s for our own good.”

Passage 4
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed (尴尬) to be seen with my father. He could not walk well and I had to help him. When we walked together, people stared(盯) at us.
Our usual walk was to or from the underground, which was how he got to work. He almost 131 missed a day. He would go to the office 132 even if others could not. It was one of his proudest things in his life.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was 133 for him to walk a long way. On days like this, I would pull him 134 the streets on a child’s sled (雪橇) to the underground.
He never took pity on himself or envied other people who could 135 well. What he looked for in others was a good heart. To him, that 136 more than anything else.
My father still tried to do the same things that others did, even if he couldn’t do them the same way. For example, he liked to go to 137 , where he could have a good time just sitting and watching instead of dancing.
I now know he took part in some things through me, his only son. When I played basketball, he “played” too. When I joined the navy (海军), he “ 138 ” too. When I visited his office, he would introduce me, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too,if things had been different.”
He passed away many years ago. I wonder if he ever 139 that I was embarrassed to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I want to tell him how 140 I feel. I often think of him when I envy others, when I don’t have a good heart.

Passage 1
Do you play an instrument? Have you ever made one? Terje Isungset can answer “Yes” to both 151 . Known as the 152 of Ice Music, Terje Isungset makes instruments out of something cool: ice! And he needs low temperatures to keep his instruments in good 153 .
He doesn’t use just any 154 things. “Surely you can get perfect ice from factories. But it won’t have any beautiful sounds,” Isungset says. He gets all of his ice from the wild. “It’s 155 that decides the sound of the instrument,” he says.
Isungset got the idea for ice music more than 20 years ago. “I was asked to do a concert in a frozen waterfall,” he says. “There were no books to read about, and there was 156 on the Internet,” he says. “So I had to 157 everything by myself. I tried with different shapes and sizes of ice blocks. I spent hours shaping the ice, improving my designs until I was happy with the results.”
Several years ago, Isungset helped start the Ice Music Festival Norway in Europe. It is 158 in February every year. “As you can imagine, there is a lot of work to do for an ice concert,” Isungset says. “We come to a place, we 159 the ice, and then we build the venue (场地) with it.”
Some of Isungset’s instruments are based on common ones, 160 others are dreamed up. “For the festival, I have a goal of trying to invent a new instrument every year,” he says.
What happens when the show is over? “We give everything back to nature,” Isungset says.

Passage 2
Lead a healthier and more active life with the new Google Fit!
It’s hard to know how much activity you need to stay healthy, isn’t it? That’s 161 the workers of Google Fit have worked with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to bring you Heart Point.
Heart Point is an activity goal. It can help you 162 your health, and it is good for your heart. Activities that get your heart beating 162 bring great health benefits (益处) to you. You’ll win one Heart Point for each minute of moderate (强度适中的) activity. Examples of this include being faster when 164 your dog. And you’ll get double Heart Points for more 165 exercise like running, hiking and playing basketball. It’s not 166 to reach the AHA and the WHO’s suggested amount of physical activity. It takes just 30 minutes of fast walking, five days a week. This amount of exercise is enough to reduce the risk of 167 disease.
“It’s great at 168 steps. I walk about 10,000 steps every day. The app seems to record really exactly as I start and stop the workout. There are fewer records of workouts such as riding a bike. But overall, it’s a great app.”
—Alan Brockett (U.S.)
“Great app! It monitors activity without needing to be turned on every time. Sometimes, it doesn’t record the route accurately (准确地) and leaves off certain parts. However, it’s 169 my favourite fitness app.”
—Joshua Via (Canada)
“I like this app! It does everything I need it to do. With little effort on my part, I especially love its system of counting and recording Heart Points. Now I know 170 I achieve 150 Heart Points per week, I’ll be staying fit.
—Steven Fry (U.S.)

话题5 环保与可持续发展
Passage 1
From toothbrushes and shampoo bottles to furniture and toys, plastic is used to make many everyday items—but only about 5% of the plastic we use is recycled. The rest is 201 which releases harmful gases, or thrown away, often ending up in the ocean. There, it can take hundreds of years to break down and 202 marine life. To help solve this problem, scientists have created a new type of plastic that dissolves in seawater.
Regular biodegradable plastics do not fully break down in the ocean. 203 they turn into tiny pieces called microplastics. These small bits can be eaten by fish, birds, and other animals. Scientists 204 that by 2050, there may be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Microplastics also pollute soil, water, and food, eventually 205 human bodies.
Researchers at the RIKEN Centre for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed a plastic that dissolves 206 in salty seawater. It breaks down into its basic substances, which bacteria can then digest. Tests show it can break down in seawater within hours and in soil within 10 days. Unlike other plastics, it is nonpoisonous and does not catch fire 207 .
This new plastic can be shaped into different forms when 208 to 248°F. It can be made hard and scratch-resistant, turned into flexible rubber, or used to create strong objects. It could be 209 for 3D printing and making items like medical tools or single-use packaging.

On my fortieth birthday, I gave myself my first skateboard. Most of my friends and family thought I was 1 , but only I knew why.
A year ago, I fell off a 12-meter waterfall 2 and broke my pelvis (骨盆).

What came next was a roller coaster of good news and bad news. Gracie started treatment right away and it worked successfully, but after the cancer 13 , she needed a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植). During this hard time, Gracie met Rita, a music therapist. She invited Gracie to try music therapy, which 14 to be life-changing.
The first time Rita visited Gracie, she brought a guitar, which Gracie had been hoping to 15 for a long time. Rita taught Gracie a few beginner chords (和弦), and in almost no time, she was attracted.

Passage 3
One of my students has decided to study computer science abroad. One day, I asked him why he wanted to study it. He told me he was good at it. “If you weren’t so good at it now, …” I couldn’t finish my words. He said, “That’s 21 . I always get top scores in computer science.”
This disappointed (使……失望) me. I do believe this student has the 22 to do well in computer science. However, he may not achieve anything great 23 he experiences failure (失败) first. On the one hand, failure tells us to try harder. I’ll never forget how disappointed an artist friend was when he was refused from a master’s degree program. He waited for a year or two and tried again. He finally succeeded. He knew how 24 he was and worked even harder. Soon his artwork was so popular. Later, The New York Times 25 him.
On the other hand, early success might be a setback (障碍) which we don’t realize. When I was a teenager, my teacher 26 everything I wrote, and I could get high marks on writing without really trying. By the time I got to college, I felt I had 27 to learn about writing, and I didn’t want any criticism (批评) on my writing. So I 28 courses that might have helped me improve as a writer. After college, I worked as a writer. Then, I experienced criticism and failure. That was when I began to grow.

Passage 4
Everybody makes decisions in daily life. Some of them are as 31 as what you will eat for breakfast while others can be as important as what you will do in the future. And the decision that you make can even be a turning point of your life.
I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
Before I made that decision, I was just one of the boys who tried hard to act as a/an 32 . I didn’t listen to my parents or teachers, thinking it was a way to 33 my independence (独立). But soon my grades were getting poorer. Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a talk with me. In fact, I wanted to 34 her but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. 35 thinking too much I just said I would study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again, “What do you want to do?”
I never 36 thought about the question. So I kept silent.
“ 37 you want to go on studying or start to do something differently,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Remember, it is you who decide your life, not anyone else.” Mom said with tears in her eyes.
For the first time in my life I was 38 to make a big decision by myself. I was left alone and thought about my future.
I have made the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To 39 that, I needed to study hard.
The path to my future became 40 to me. I didn’t act rebelliously (叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.

Passage 5
Emma stood backstage, holding her note cards tightly. She was usually a 41 girl who liked reading in the library. But today, she wanted to beat her fear of speaking in public by joining the school speech contest.
When her turn came, Emma walked to the front of the room. For a second, her mind went completely 42 . The light felt too bright. She took a deep breath and started to speak. 43 , the words came out more smoothly than she thought they would. Soon, she even began to enjoy sharing her story.
However, when she reached the most important part, she saw two students in the front row 44 to each other. Suddenly, she felt less sure of herself. “Are they laughing at me?” she thought. Her voice became 45 , and she stumbled over a few words.
But then she 46 what her teacher always said: “Focus on the people who are listening.” Emma saw a kind-looking teacher in the third row nodding encouragingly. This gave her strength. She took another breath and 47 her voice, speaking the last sentences with all her heart.
When she finished, the room was quiet for a moment before everyone started 48 . Emma felt warm and happy inside. She learned that being brave doesn’t mean you are not 49 —it means you don’t give up even when you are scared. That day, Emma didn’t win first place, but she won something much 50 .

Passage 1
After three years away, Li Ziqi, one of the most popular Chinese video bloggers, made a(n) 51 comeback on Tuesday afternoon. Li’s return not only quickly became the hottest topic online, but also 52 the world’s attention back to the treasure of Chinese traditional culture.
Li Ziqi, born in 1990 in Sichuan Province in southwest China, began 53 short videos in a peaceful style in 2015. In these videos, Li shared beautiful scenes of life in the countryside, traditional cooking, and cultural 54 like making ink and clothes. She quickly received widespread attention online. 55 Li stopped video updates in 2021, she still had nearly 100 million followers across China’s top four social media platforms. “I still enjoy sharing my life and meaningful cultural traditions 56 everyone,” Li said during an interview with Xinhua.
Li said the lifestyle she enjoys will be a theme of her videos. Over the past three years, she has learned to play the piano, 57 herself to handicrafts (手工艺品), planted many plants and fruits, and traveled with her grandmother.
Many fans filled her comment section (评论区) with 58 saying they were excited to see her back. While reading the comments from people around the world, expressing their blessings (祝福) and 59 they missed her in their own languages, she said, “I am so touched by this. They also shared some of their local customs, animals and plants, or some interesting childhood stories. I really enjoy reading these kinds of comments, and I miss them a lot too.”

Passage 2
Do you know that there are twelve Chinese zodiac signs, each one represented by an animal? Each one of the twelve animals has its own characteristics and attributes, and each year is represented by a 61 animal. For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, 62 2010 was the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person’s success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born.
However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to choose twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a 63 race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to 64 .
The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor’s feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish line, with Tiger being 65 . Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately noticed it, who said his son could be sixth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came 66 . Then, as Horse and Goat were both 67 and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals 68 falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig.
Some people wonder 69 the cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox’s back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t reach the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always 70 in our daily lives.
The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it’s made up, it’s definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about!

Passage 3
In the picture, a girl is standing on a bamboo pole (竹竿) on the river and dancing beautifully. It’s not a scene from a movie, 71 a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) --bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Yang Liu is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She 72 to learn it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to become strong through this sport. Yang threw herself into 73 bamboo drifting all year round, even in the cold winter and hot summer.
“It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing,” recalled Yang, adding that it took her three years to learn the basic 74 of bamboo drifting.
In order to learn more bamboo drifting skills, Yang had to practice countless 75 movements on a bamboo pole that was 9m in length and 15 cm in diameter (直径), and stand all the physical 76 that came with it. Through years of hard training, Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her “best friend”.
At one point, inspired by her 77 , Yang began to put dance and bamboo drifting together. “My grandmother came up with an idea. She said that I had been practicing bamboo drifting since I was a child, so why not try to combine dance with the skill? It might be something 78 ,” the young woman explained.
Yang’s hard work gradually paid off when she was able to 79 perform dancing with the traditional bamboo drifting skill. “I hope 80 more people can know about bamboo drifting and enjoy this form of art,” said Yang.

Passage 4
In recent years, Chinese local cultural elements have been stepping onto the world stage. From traditional paper-cutting to Peking Opera, these unique cultural treasures are winning hearts around the globe. Many young designers are now mixing Chinese cultural symbols with modern styles to create works that 81 both tradition and fashion. For example, some clothing brands use patterns from the Forbidden City’s murals on T-shirts and dresses. These products are not only popular in China but also sell well in foreign countries like the US and France.
To help more people know about Chinese culture, many cultural exhibitions are held overseas. During these exhibitions, visitors can watch craftsmen make jade carvings or paint Chinese New Year pictures. They can also take part in hands-on activities, like learning to write Chinese calligraphy. These experiences let foreigners 82 feel the beauty of Chinese culture, instead of just reading about it in books.
Social media also plays an important role in spreading Chinese cultural elements. Short videos about Chinese tea ceremonies or Kung Fu often 83 millions of views on foreign platforms. Many foreign netizens leave comments saying they want to visit China and learn more about its culture. Some even start to learn Chinese because of these interesting videos.
However, spreading Chinese culture to the world also faces some 84 . One challenge is that cultural differences may make it hard for foreigners to understand some elements. For example, the meaning of the dragon in Chinese culture is different from that in Western cultures. Another challenge is that some cultural works are not 85 enough to attract foreign audiences. They need to be presented in more creative ways.
Despite these challenges, more and more Chinese cultural elements are being accepted by the world. This not only helps people around the globe learn about China’s long history and rich culture but also builds a bridge of friendship between China and other countries. 86 we keep working hard to spread Chinese culture in proper ways, it will surely have a brighter future on the world stage. And more people from different countries will 87 the charm of Chinese culture.
Some big events, like the Asian Games, also provide great chances to show Chinese cultural elements. During the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, many venues were decorated with elements from traditional Chinese architecture. The opening ceremony even included a performance showing the evolution of Chinese paper-cutting. These displays 88 foreign athletes and audiences deeply and made them fall in love with Chinese culture.
Now, many schools in China are also teaching students about traditional culture. Students learn to make pottery or sing Peking Opera, which helps them develop a love for their own culture. When these students grow up, they may become messengers of Chinese culture, helping to 89 it to more parts of the world.
It’s true that spreading Chinese cultural elements is a long journey. But 90 every small effort we make, we can make Chinese culture more known and loved globally. This is not only a pride for Chinese people but also a contribution to the diversity of world culture.

About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs, I 102 Kevin crying in his room. I knocked on the door and asked, “Kevin, do you want to 103 ?”
No 104 . I tried again. Still nothing happened. So, I took a piece of paper from a notepad and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other” and slipped (使滑动) it under the door.
An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside his door with a stack of (一摞) notes in my hands. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, I couldn’t help crying. It said, “ 105 in this family loves me. I am not the youngest nor the oldest, and I am not the smartest. Tommy thinks I am too weak, and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid 106 he’s better at basketball.

He was 108 about my part. Feeling sorry for him, I wrote back, “Kevin, I do love you, and you are loved in this family.” He didn’t reply for a while, but I could hear him crying softly.
Kevin 109 paper, so he wrote “Thanks” on a paper cup. I wrote back “For what?” It was returned to me with the reply “Loving me” written on it.

On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked quickly towards the entrance to the 111 , a man, with quite dirty hair, came up and opened the door for us.
Once inside, my kids whispered, “Mom, he smiles.” I nodded. Regardless of (不管) his appearance, the “doorman” greeted us in a(an) 112 way.
After ordering food, we sat at the window and watched other customers come to the restaurant 113 many ignored (忽视) the “doorman”. Seeing this impoliteness truly made me angry. As a mother, I had decided to set a good 114 for my kids. When our meal arrived, I remembered that I had left the car-sick pills in the truck. With the long trip ahead, the kids needed 115 , so I excused myself from the meal and went to the door.
Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even looking at him. Letting them in first, I said a loud “ 116 ” to him as I went out.
When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside 117 he ordered food. I went back and told my family his story. Then I asked our waitress to 118 one soup and sandwich. When the kids knew the order was for the “doorman”, they smiled.
It was time to continue our trip. Upon seeing us, the “doorman” came up again and stretched his hand for a handshake and I 119 accepted. I noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of gratitude (感谢) .
Back in truck, I fell into deep thought. I said thanks to a man who had simply held open a door for me, and also said thanks for that chance to teach 120 by example. While we can’t choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude.

Passage 3
My teenage son, Jordan, always hated having to get home earlier than all his friends. He couldn’t understand why he was 121 seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He surely believed he was an adult, but I pointed out that he was not 122 he was still in high school.
“You don’t 123 me! I can take good care of myself!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him 124 ?
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air could 125 my head. I opened the front door and nearly walked on her:a small black puppy (小狗), just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball, ”I said, then brought her into my home, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed very glad but after an hour or two, she barked to go back outside.
“Why does she keep barking? ”Jordan came in and asked.
I told him that she was 126 here but she liked being able to play outside as she wanted.
“That must be nice, ”Jordan said in a low voice, 127 why the puppy, not him, could come and go.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, barking to go outside.
I shook my head at her and patted her, “No, you little thing, you can’t. But it’s for your own good.”
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball.
“I let her out last night…” Jordan said. I quickly rushed outside. Jordan ran after me at once, with 128 in his eyes. Several minutes later, we found the poor thing, unsure if she was well. Jordan was scared, “We need a doctor! Now!”
Luckily, the doctor saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, John stroked her head, all tears. Then, 129 , he turned to me. He said sorry for what he had done. “I know you just want to protect me, ”he whispered. I heard him talking to Meatball, “Looks like we both have to 130 the curfew. It’s for our own good.”

Passage 4
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed (尴尬) to be seen with my father. He could not walk well and I had to help him. When we walked together, people stared(盯) at us.
Our usual walk was to or from the underground, which was how he got to work. He almost 131 missed a day. He would go to the office 132 even if others could not. It was one of his proudest things in his life.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was 133 for him to walk a long way. On days like this, I would pull him 134 the streets on a child’s sled (雪橇) to the underground.
He never took pity on himself or envied other people who could 135 well. What he looked for in others was a good heart. To him, that 136 more than anything else.
My father still tried to do the same things that others did, even if he couldn’t do them the same way. For example, he liked to go to 137 , where he could have a good time just sitting and watching instead of dancing.
I now know he took part in some things through me, his only son. When I played basketball, he “played” too. When I joined the navy (海军), he “ 138 ” too. When I visited his office, he would introduce me, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too,if things had been different.”
He passed away many years ago. I wonder if he ever 139 that I was embarrassed to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I want to tell him how 140 I feel. I often think of him when I envy others, when I don’t have a good heart.

The medicine that could 142 the children was far away. It could be delivered (运送) part of the way by train. Even so, it was 143 674 miles from the last train stop to Nome. 144 else was better than Sled dogs to deliver the medicine through the snow. However, it was such a long way for one team. A sled dog relay (接力) was the only hope.
The dogs raced through hard wilderness in the cold. Often the medicine had to be 145 by a fire to keep it from freezing. A brave musher (赶狗拉雪橇的人) and his lead dog Togo, covered the most 146 part of the run. To save time, they raced over an area of frozen sea and raced up snow-covered 147 . Another musher and his lead dog, Balto, continued the difficult journey. At one point, a strong wind blew the sled over. The medicine fell in a snowbank. Balto’s musher 148 it out with frozen hands. The relay lasted for five and a half days 149 Balto’s team delivered the medicine. The children were saved.
After the race, A statue (雕塑) of Balto was built in a city park. Balto is famous for his 150 . In fact, every sled dog on that journey helped save the sick children when there was little hope left.

Do you play an instrument? Have you ever made one? Terje Isungset can answer “Yes” to both 151 . Known as the 152 of Ice Music, Terje Isungset makes instruments out of something cool: ice! And he needs low temperatures to keep his instruments in good 153 .
He doesn’t use just any 154 things. “Surely you can get perfect ice from factories. But it won’t have any beautiful sounds,” Isungset says. He gets all of his ice from the wild. “It’s 155 that decides the sound of the instrument,” he says.
Isungset got the idea for ice music more than 20 years ago. “I was asked to do a concert in a frozen waterfall,” he says. “There were no books to read about, and there was 156 on the Internet,” he says. “So I had to 157 everything by myself. I tried with different shapes and sizes of ice blocks. I spent hours shaping the ice, improving my designs until I was happy with the results.”
Several years ago, Isungset helped start the Ice Music Festival Norway in Europe. It is 158 in February every year. “As you can imagine, there is a lot of work to do for an ice concert,” Isungset says. “We come to a place, we 159 the ice, and then we build the venue (场地) with it.”
Some of Isungset’s instruments are based on common ones, 160 others are dreamed up. “For the festival, I have a goal of trying to invent a new instrument every year,” he says.
What happens when the show is over? “We give everything back to nature,” Isungset says.

Lead a healthier and more active life with the new Google Fit!
It’s hard to know how much activity you need to stay healthy, isn’t it? That’s 161 the workers of Google Fit have worked with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to bring you Heart Point.
Heart Point is an activity goal. It can help you 162 your health, and it is good for your heart. Activities that get your heart beating 162 bring great health benefits (益处) to you. You’ll win one Heart Point for each minute of moderate (强度适中的) activity. Examples of this include being faster when 164 your dog. And you’ll get double Heart Points for more 165 exercise like running, hiking and playing basketball. It’s not 166 to reach the AHA and the WHO’s suggested amount of physical activity. It takes just 30 minutes of fast walking, five days a week. This amount of exercise is enough to reduce the risk of 167 disease.
“It’s great at 168 steps. I walk about 10,000 steps every day. The app seems to record really exactly as I start and stop the workout. There are fewer records of workouts such as riding a bike. But overall, it’s a great app.”
—Alan Brockett (U.S.)
“Great app! It monitors activity without needing to be turned on every time. Sometimes, it doesn’t record the route accurately (准确地) and leaves off certain parts. However, it’s 169 my favourite fitness app.”
—Joshua Via (Canada)
“I like this app! It does everything I need it to do. With little effort on my part, I especially love its system of counting and recording Heart Points. Now I know 170 I achieve 150 Heart Points per week, I’ll be staying fit.
—Steven Fry (U.S.)

Passage 3
Have you ever bought anything that you can’t touch and see? Nowadays, virtual (虚拟的) products have become a rising trend (潮流) .
Two months ago, the topic of “Have you bought virtual mosquitoes (蚊子) for your friends” started a 171 on Weibo. If you buy virtual mosquitoes for your friend, someone will add your friend on WeChat and buzz (嗡嗡叫) to him by word 172 for fun.
This is just one of the 173 of virtual products. There is also a virtual tree hole. This means that you can 174 for someone to listen to you talking about your life. Virtual supervision (监督) means you need someone to keep an eye on you if you can’t study or read carefully. The price is usually from 10 yuan to several hundred yuan, depending on different 175 .
Under the increasing stress of studying, working and relationships, more people want to find ways to lower their stress and keep 176 happy. Some secrets can’t be 177 with family and friends. Talking to strangers is a better way. They are more objective (客观的) to look at your problems. It’s also less trouble for family members and friends 178 they are always busy.
179 , the experience isn’t always good. You may meet a tree hole that doesn’t pay much attention to your problems. It’s just a matter of luck. Sometimes you happen to talk to someone really patient, while sometimes you meet someone who ends up making you feel even 180 .
Buying virtual products shows young people’s emotional (情感的) needs. There’s also a risk that they may trust strangers more when they are down. It’s still important to think about how safe this virtual service is, especially when it asks for more money.

In the fast-changing world of technology, Liang Wenfeng is a rising star. He founded DeepSeek, an AI company that has made a great 181 to the world.
Liang Wenfeng was born in the 1980s in a small town in Guangdong. From a young age, he showed great 182 in mathematics and computers. He studied hard and got into Zhejiang University, where he got both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 183 science.
After graduating, Liang Wenfeng started his career in the financial field (金融界) and quickly achieved great success. However, he was not 184 with that. He saw a very bright future of AI and decided to make a big change.
In 2023, he 185 DeepSeek. He put a lot of effort and money into 186 advanced AI technologies. DeepSeek’s goal is to 187 powerful AI models that can compete with the best in the world. And it has achieved great success. Its AI models have strong language-processing abilities. They can 188 various questions, help with writing, and even write code. What’s more, these models are cheap, which makes them very 189 .
Liang’s success is not just because he is smart and he works hard. It’s also because he knows a lot about technology and is brave enough to try new things. He thinks China can be a leader in technology and help the world. His story tells us that if we have the right 190 and are determined (意志坚定的), we can all do great things. Liang Wenfeng is really a good example for all of us.

What is the best way to race in a city without getting traffic trouble? In some cities around the world, you will be able to take a flying 191 .
The idea of flying cars is not 192 . As early as the 1940s, Moulton Taylor, an American engineer, designed and built the four- passenger aero-car. It’s the first car in history to drive on roads and 193 with the help of wheels (轮) and wings. 194 , Moulton stopped the production because the government’s safety rules made it 195 to make all the needed changes.
The aero-car was the forerunner (先驱) of today’s normal cars. 196 , a company in Utah, is working on aero-cars. These cars use gasoline and need a driver, and runway. They have built-in (内置) wings. Companies should 197 up-to-date safety standards when building the cars.
There’s another type of flying car-passenger drones (无人机). They’re similar to aero-cars but have no 198 . They can take off and land easily in small places and do not need a runway.
Flying cars are great, and the point is they can make travel quicker by 199 ground traffic. A 25-minute trip on the road could take only eight minutes in a flying car.
Flying cars 200 be widely used in a short time, but they give us a glimpse (一瞥) of the future.

话题5 环保与可持续发展
Passage 1
From toothbrushes and shampoo bottles to furniture and toys, plastic is used to make many everyday items—but only about 5% of the plastic we use is recycled. The rest is 201 which releases harmful gases, or thrown away, often ending up in the ocean. There, it can take hundreds of years to break down and 202 marine life. To help solve this problem, scientists have created a new type of plastic that dissolves in seawater.
Regular biodegradable plastics do not fully break down in the ocean. 203 they turn into tiny pieces called microplastics. These small bits can be eaten by fish, birds, and other animals. Scientists 204 that by 2050, there may be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Microplastics also pollute soil, water, and food, eventually 205 human bodies.
Researchers at the RIKEN Centre for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed a plastic that dissolves 206 in salty seawater. It breaks down into its basic substances, which bacteria can then digest. Tests show it can break down in seawater within hours and in soil within 10 days. Unlike other plastics, it is nonpoisonous and does not catch fire 207 .
This new plastic can be shaped into different forms when 208 to 248°F. It can be made hard and scratch-resistant, turned into flexible rubber, or used to create strong objects. It could be 209 for 3D printing and making items like medical tools or single-use packaging.
Takuzo Aida, the lead researcher, said, “With this new material, we have created plastics that are strong, stable, and recyclable. They serve many purposes and, most importantly, do not 210 microplastics.”

Passage 2
A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish. So, a zero-waste theme store is about 211 people with a number of everyday, practical and pleasant zero-waste products to help them start on a zero-waste life journey.
“Zero waste” was first 212 by a French woman called Bea Johnson. “Live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different ways to protect the earth.” She said.
Yu Yuan, 27, is 213 attracted by this idea. She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years. And earlier she used to be a customer without thinking a lot 214 she saw a video about “zero waste”. It is about a family of four, and the rubbish they produce every year is placed in a jar. After watching the video, Yu wanted to 215 this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend.
Yu says that a zero-waste life 216 the 6R principle—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot (腐烂). From August to October when Yu lived according to the principle of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend Joe both produced only two cans of rubbish.
Now, the couple have opened a small shop called The Bulk House in Nanluoguxiang, Beijing, to 217 a zero-waste life. Most of the products sold in the store can be reused, and a small number of them which are not recyclable can degrade (分解). Yu says that those who were once not 218 in the zero-waste lifestyle have slowly changed because of curiosity. The zero-waste lifestyle, she adds, is for 219 . Yu expects some of her friends to 220 her on the road to zero waste. As the saying goes, many hands make light work.

Zhi Nong was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. 221 a caged bird in the big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to 222 .
His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot a documentary (拍摄纪录片) about birds. That 223 led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds.
In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were 224 . He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying 225 to use it. During that time, the 226 became his favorite place because he first read some magazines about nature there. It opened a door for him to connect with nature.
In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys which only live in China. Usually the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Zhi Nong’s work, but he never 227 . “I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild 228 I went into the mountains the third time,” said Zhi Nong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photos of the monkeys.
Three years 229 , his works won international prizes. People around the world began to realize the importance of protecting wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the World Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
In order to call on more people to protect wildlife with 230 , he started “China Wildlife Photography Training Camp”. He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection.

When she was very young, Severn Cullis-Suzuki learned that the United Nations Assembly (大会) was going to meet in Brazil, Severn 231 that she wanted not only to go there but also to say something. She started to raise money for the 232 and when she was 12, she had enough for the 11, 000-kilometre journey.
Severn was sure that she had 233 to say, and when she made her five-minute speech 234 the UN Assembly, she tried very hard to make a difference. She talked about 235 problems like pollution and the hunting of animals. She also talked about the 236 of children in many parts of the world, 237 poor children who don’t have enough to eat. She compared them with children in richer countries who have more than they need and throw things 238 . Severn’s questions were a challenge to the world’s leaders—questions about why the grown-ups who run the world don’t take more care of it and of the people who live in it.
Many people who heard her speech were crying at the end, and everyone 239 with thunderous applause (掌声) when she finished.
Severn showed that young people can make a difference 240 they’re brave enough to believe in themselves. Who knows? Perhaps you could be another Severn.

The Plastic Bottle Village will show up
According to experts, over 22,000 plastic bottles are thrown away every second, and the number is still growing. 241 a small part of them get recycled, most end up in the ocean. There, they 242 into small pieces. Fish and birds often regard them as 243 by mistake, which is dangerous for them.
Now, Robert has 244 an idea that may not solve the world’s plastic problems, but will at least make progress and hopefully inspire (鼓舞) others. He plans to use the plastic bottles to build a village in the forest of Bocas Del Toro, Panama.
Robert is a Canadian businessman. He has been living in the central American country for many years. He started Bocas Del Toro’s 245 project in 2012, after noticing plastic waste being 246 thrown away on the island’s beautiful beaches. During one year and a half, Robert and his volunteers collected over a million plastic bottles!
In 2015, he had the idea of using the bottles to build houses, and then the Plastic Bottle Village was born. The project is on an island in the Bocas Del Toro. It’s still in its beginning. So far, only a number of houses have been 247 . But if Robert has his way, there will soon be a special community, and 90 to 120 248 will live in the Plastic Bottle Village.
If he can raise enough money, Bezeau also plans to build an education centre with students dormitories (宿舍). He wants 249 to learn how to use the plastic waste.
Recycling plastic bottles is 250 in cutting down the amount of plastic that ends up in our oceans each year, but the smartest thing to do is to avoid them completely. So be sure to do your part.
