Leather puppets (木偶), controlled by sticks, are held up against a screen with a light behind them. Along with music, songs, dances and d 1 , they tell a story. Some form of shadow play has been in China for a long time s 2 puppets were mentioned in earlier records. But it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that shadow play was r 3 in books. The tools required for a shadow play are s 4 : just a white screen, puppets, and a light. Screens were made of paper. Puppets might have been made of paper at first as well, but no d 5 leather soon gained more popularity since it could last longer. That is why the art form is called pí yǐng xì in modern C 6 language. Puppets stand for people and different things. They are carved (雕刻) and painted with bright colors in order to s 7 through the screen. A typical performing team is made up of five people. One controls the puppets, t 8 play the instruments and one sings all the parts. For many people, watching shadow puppetry is a pleasure, but the value of shadow puppetry goes far b 9 that. Seeing that the art form can pass on cultural history and local customs, the Chinese government is promoting (推广) this ancient and important art form, but perhaps the best promoters are the performers t 10 , who are finding ways to bring the art form to young people. With new ideas, they are sure to give new life to this old art. Passage 2 The year 2024 celebrates the Chinese Year of the Dragon. It is respected as a lucky year, full of hope for all. In Chinese culture, the dragon is a s 11 of power and good luck. People believe it controls the water and brings a good harvest. So they have a 12 the dragon since ancient times. And people who are born in the dragon year show a great s 13 of bravery. But how did the dragon b 14 one of the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac (生肖)? According to the legend (传说), there was a party, the order of the zodiac animals would be d 15 by the order in which they arrived. The dragon, a 16 it had the ability to fly, didn’t come first. It stopped to make rain for farmers on i 17 way. So, it was the fifth one to arrive. To show great respect towards the dragon, Dragon Dance was started by the Chinese during the Han Dynasty. Now it has been f 18 all over the world. The length of dragons can be 50 to 70 meters because people believe that the longer the dragon is, the m 19 luck it will bring. But a small group can’t run a very long dragon because it needs great human power, much money and s 20 skills. The dragon is not just an animal in the Chinese zodiac, it’s also a strong power that is rooted (根植) deeply in Chinese history and customs. Passage 3 China has a special system of 24 solar terms that help people understand the cycle of seasons and changes in weather. Dongzhi (or Winter Solstice), as the 22nd solar term, usually f 21 around December 21 or 22. During Dongzhi, the northern part of the world experiences the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Dongzhi holds a more i 22 position than many other solar terms. There is a well-known saying in China, which goes, “Dongzhi is as significant as the Spring Festival.” In ancient times, it was h 23 paid attention to. It is a period when families gather, a bit like the Spring Festival. In northern China, it is a c 24 custom for people to eat dumplings on Dongzhi. Most families get together to make dumplings, sharing a comfortable and joyful feeling. S 25 the shape of dumplings is similar to ears, eating dumplings is believed to help people stay warm and protect ears a 26 frostbite (冻伤) in the cold winter. In the south of China, tangyuan is the t 27 food for this day, usually served with sweet soup. Eating tangyuan symbolizes family togetherness and happiness. Some areas have a custom of ancestor worship (祭祖) during Dongzhi. People present sacrifices (祭品) and pray for good luck and safety—hoping e 28 goes well in the coming year. Another activity is painting plum blossoms (梅花), which are famous for blooming in extremely cold winters. As Dongzhi m 29 the start of the coldest season, people express their longing for the coming spring by painting plum blossoms. To sum up, Dongzhi is not s 30 a solar term. It is also a necessary part of Chinese culture. It makes people feel a strong sense of connection with their families and take pride in their culture during the cold winter. Passage 4 On December 4, 2024, the Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year, is added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录) by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (联合国科教文组织). As an i 31 part of Chinese culture, the Spring Festival, also called Chinese New Year, is one of the most amazing festivals in China and around the world. Adding the Spring Festival to the list shows its deep Chinese roots and its ideas of b 32 people together. The Spring Festival is all about family. Chinese people cherish family and the love between family members. Every year, m 33 of people travel back home for the Spring Festival, making it the b 34 human migration (迁移) in the world. The festival l 35 fifteen days, ending with the Lantern Festival. Families gather, enjoy meals and take part in fun activities. T 36 foods, like dumplings, rice cakes, meatballs and fish are eaten across the country, carrying blessings for loved ones. The Spring Festival includes traditions l 37 folk tales, dragon dances and fireworks which are used to d 38 away the mythical monster “nian”. Today, these traditions, such as paper-cuttings, lantern shows and dragon dances are s 39 celebrated in China and some Asian countries, bringing good luck, driving away bad spirits and c 40 a joyful time for everyone. Passage 5 The folk art form, kuaiban, has a long history. It can be performed by a group or a s 41 person. With one or two pairs of bamboo clappers—a kind of t 42 Chinese musical instruments in hands, the performers tell stories in the local dialect (方言). Recently, Liu Jiming and Wan Yifu made and shared three short videos by u 43 kuaiban which were viewed about 4 million times. As a result, Liu and Wan gained more than 1 million followers on the Internet. They’ve c 44 many new works to raise people’s awareness. Some of their works are about the danger of drunken driving and food s 45 . They also write stories to show respect to who make contributions, such as traffic policemen. According to Liu and Wan, people can understand kuaiban pieces without d 46 . The stories told in kuaiban pieces are close to people’s daily lives. Thus, they c 47 that it is a fun way to introduce the Chinese folk culture through kuaiban. And what m 48 to them is that both young people and old people begin to know the charm of the art form. Folk art forms, like xiangsheng, pingshu and kuaiban, share something in common. They all show the beauty and v 49 of traditional Chinese culture, so they should be known by more people and get to more areas. Luckily, t 50 the Internet, new performers who go on sharing kuaiban pieces, like Liu and Wan, are playing an active role. Hopefully, these Chinese folk art forms will be alive with the times. 话题2 个人成长与励志 Passage 1 Do you smile after walking out of a barber shop (理发店)? The answer is Yes! A hairdresser nicknamed Xiaohua has become popular on the internet s 51 because she tries to understand what customers (顾客) want.

They come to watch her mostly because they are bored, and sometimes she a 57 gets bored from her work, so it is relaxing to talk with them. Her WeChat is filled with messages from customers asking for a haircut, and she wants to tell them to be patient and wait u 58 the online popularity cools down. “I am the most c 59 hairdresser. There is nothing unusual about me,” she said, “I have never thought of raising the p 60 for a haircut because the trust from people is satisfying enough. Money is not everything.” Passage 2 Fan Yang is a famous Chinese artist. He has devoted himself to the art i 61 for many years. Fan Yang was born in Hong Kong, but he grew up in Nantong. Influenced by his uncle, he f 62 in love with traditional Chinese painting when he was a teenager. T 63 he had a gift for this art, he practised painting skills hard.

In 2019, he was awarded the Pierre de Boubertin Medal by Bach. Fan Yang, thinks this special style r 70 high skills. “We painters face a lot of new things, so we need to use skills and imagination to keep up with the times,” Fan says. Passage 3 Zu Ti was a great man of Jin Dynasty. He was famous for his h 71 work and great achievements. But when he was a child, he was a naughty (顽皮的) boy who showed little i 72 in reading. As he grew up, Zu Ti r 73 he didn’t have enough knowledge. And he deeply felt that he could not serve (服务) his country well. So he made up his m 74 to study hard. Zu Ti had a c 75 friend named Liu Kun. They had a deep friendship. So they stayed together every day. They even slept on one bed every night and got up at the same time every morning. One day, when they were sleeping, Zu Ti heard the rooster crowing (打鸣). An idea came to him. He w 76 up Liu Kun and said, “How about getting up to play swords?” T 77 he was still sleepy, Liu Kun agreed with Zu Ti gladly. From then on, they got up and played swords as soon as the rooster began crowing. They kept their words day after day. They never gave up no m 78 how cold in winter or hot in summer. Besides, they began to study history c 79 and put all their energy into reading books. In this way, they learned a great deal of knowledge and made much p 80 . A few years later, both of them grew up with talents and wisdom. At last, their dreams came true and they made great contributions (贡献) to their country. This is the Chinese idiom story To Rise with the Rooster. Passage 4 He was a poet known for the nostalgia (怀旧) he describes in his poems. Now, it’s time for us to e 81 our nostalgia for this great writer. On December 14, 2017, the famous Chinese poet Yu Guangzhong passed away in Taiwan, China. He was born in 1928 in Nanjing, Jiangsu. Yu and his family moved to Taiwan, China in the 1950s. He lived and worked there u 82 his death. Nostalgia is Yu’s f 83 poem in which he expresses his homesickness for the Chinese mainland when he was in Taiwan, China. The poem came out in 1971, and it remains highly popular a 84 Chinese speakers worldwide. Even those who know little about literature enjoy lines from the poem.

He once t 88 English poet Siegfried Sassoon’s poem In Me, Past, Present, Future Meet into Chinese. It is regarded as a perfect and powerful translation, in which the most famous line is “心有猛虎，细嗅蔷薇” for “In me the tiger sniffs the rose”. Yu spent his whole life w 89 . In the 2015 interview with People’s Daily, he said, “The r 90 why I keep writing till today is my passion for the Chinese language.” He then added that his love for his mother and his motherland made this passion stronger. Passage 5 Have you ever tried any of Pamela Reif’s (帕梅拉·莱夫) works (锻炼)? This lady has become so f 91 that just saying her first name is enough for many people to realize who you’re talking about. In her videos, Reif completes plenty of movements (动作) so s 92 and perfectly—without stopping that she seems almost like a robot. This has led Internet users to call her a “human AI” who never gets t 93 . Reif has made waves (掀起波澜) on Chinese social media like Bilibili, with more than 12 million f 94 till April 7. From a young age, Reif practiced dancing and also did w 95 in her schoolwork, graduating from a German high school with a top score. A girl like her would be expected to go to u 96 and become a doctor, an engineer or a lawyer, Reif said once in a TED talk. However, when she was 18, Reif d 97 not to go to university but to become a fitness (健身) video blogger instead. It was not until three years ago that Reif truly was known by the world.

Reif has visited China recently s 99 her fitness videos became more and more popular among Chinese young people. In a video interview with China Daily, she shared her love for baduanjin, a t 100 Chinese fitness exercise she has been doing recently. 话题3 社会关怀与人际关系 Passage 1 Dear Holly, It’s that time again—end of term. The final exams are just around the corner. Lately, I’ve been trying to b 101 sleep and studying. If I study a lot and sleep too little, my grades go down because I’m too tired to focus in class the next day. But if I sleep more and study less, my grades also suffer. What should I do? I look forward to your v 102 advice. Too Tired to Think of a Name Dear “Too Tired to Think of a Name”, Always focus on your lessons in class. After school, try to d 103 your study time into smaller sessions. Set clear goals for each session. Let’s say you start with your English homework. After that, take a break and enjoy some snacks. Then, dive into your math homework. Once you’re done, s 104 some time playing with your dog. Repeat this pattern u 105 you’ve finished all your homework. It will take a little longer overall, but you won’t feel so tired afterward. Study for 30 to 40 minutes every day for each subject. Never cram (挤满) the night before an exam. Cramming will only stress you out and l 106 you feeling tired and probably still unprepared. In short, remember that taking care of y 107 is just as important as studying. If you don’t look after your physical and mental health, you won’t be able to do your best. If you still have d 108 managing it all, talk to a parent, teacher or older schoolmate. They’ve probably been through similar c 109 and can give you useful advice. I hope you think my advice is w 110 taking. Best wishes, Holly Brantley Passage 2 In the past summer holiday, a group of students in Wuhan were asked to record their parents’ and their own emotions (情绪). Organizers started this challenge to help the students and their parents not lose temper (发火). News about the c 111 soon spread online, and many people began trying it. At the same time, however, the news led to lots of d 112 , people not only talk on anger itself, but on how we should control our emotions. Let’s take a look at what people say. Some people think feeling angry is just like feeling hungry, lonely or t 113 . What we should do is to find out the thing that makes us angry and try to deal with it instead of a 114 it. But anger specialist Isabel Clarke said on the Internet, “You can control your anger, and you should force yourself to do so.” So which side is r 115 and how should we teenagers deal with our anger? Being a teenager is hard, e 116 with all the schoolwork and responsibilities. As a result, it is much easier for us to get angry. But if we take a few small steps, learning to think of happy things and forget sad o 117 can make it easier to put out the fire inside us. According to the BBC’s advice website, putting our anger into something is an easy way. So, the next time you feel anger building up, you shouldn’t l 118 your temper, and you should try expressing your bad emotions in an a 119 way: paint something, write a poem, sing a song or just go for a walk. After all, having emotions is what makes us humans. And w 120 them, even anger, the world wouldn’t be as beautiful as it is now. But we shouldn’t let them hurt ourselves or others. Passage 3 10-year-old Orion has always known that kindness is important. He often p 121 it by volunteering with his family. But last year, after entering the National Kindness Speech Competition, he became crazy about it. Now he works to s 122 kindness everywhere through projects that help others. He c 123 his campaign (运动) “the Race to Kindness”. Spreading Hugs After a teacher told him about the competition, Orion had only 24 hours to w 124 , memorize (记住) and record his speech. In it, he talked about how important kindness is—especially when many people are facing d 125 in their life. “Kindness is like spreading hugs around the world to those who need it and those who may not know they need it,” Orion said. He e 126 listeners to join him in “the Race of Kindness” by doing small, kind acts for others. Orion’s speech w 127 the competition. He used his $500 prize to support his first Race to Kindness project. He collected 619 toys for a local children’s hospital. After that, Orion wanted to make an even b 128 difference. Working with a nonprofit (非盈利), he packed meal bags for people in need. He also organized several events in his community. Everybody Wins Orion believes that e 129 wins this race. He says, “If you’re kind to someone else, it can make his day brighter and inspire (激励) that person to be kind to others. And then it just keeps g 130 . Finally it can make the world a better place.” Passage 4 As I grew up, I gradually realized my father was a calm and quiet man. He never said “I love you”—not because he didn’t care, but perhaps because he preferred to e 131 love through actions rather than words. As time passed, this made us feel a bit distant (疏远的). Honestly, I never managed to say those words to him, e 132 . During my teenage years, this lack of communication often made me feel troubled. A 133 it wasn’t a serious problem, I often wondered why we couldn’t say these simple words. After thinking carefully, I decided to take the first s 134 . I picked up the phone and said, “Dad, I love you.” There was a moment of s 135 at the other end of the line. “Well, I feel the same way,” replied quietly. “I know you do,” I said, trying to r 136 calm. “When you’re ready, you’ll say it too.” Fifteen minutes later, my mother called me and asked if everything was OK. She seemed to be w 137 about me. She had noticed something unusual in our normally peaceful family. What happened next became an important moment in my growth. Several weeks later, my father ended our call with “Son, I love you.” At that moment, I was at work, but tears filled my eyes immediately (立刻)—not just because I was happy, but because we f 138 made it. This experience taught me that personal growth needs c 139 . If I hadn’t taken the first move, I might never have heard those words. It didn’t just solve our problem—it made our r 140 much stronger. It also taught me that true love sometimes needs us to speak out. Passage 5 Do you have a friend with an interesting background? Today, I’d like to tell you about a friend of m 141 with it. I’ll tell you a bit about her, such as where she’s from and why we’re good friends. You know, I didn’t use to do s 142 . However, a couple of years ago, I j 143 a fitness club. There, I met Linda. After the exercise, we had coffee together and b 144 good friends soon. I think we have a lot in c 145 —we both like to keep fit and love trying different food. And we love the ocean; in summer, we like to play at the b 146 and go swimming there. Linda was b 147 in London, but has lived in China for ten years. So she can s 148 both Chinese and English. That’s something different about us. Another d 149 is her background—Linda has experience and knowledge of two cultures. So, now you know a bit about my friend Linda. Although we might not always live in the same city in the f 150 , I think we’ll stay friends forever. 话题4 科普知识与现代技术 Passage 1 As the weather gets warmer, it’s the perfect time to plan a day at the beach. There, you can enjoy a 151 like swimming, surfing, and building castles in the sand. However, it’s important to keep beach safety in m 152 . Now, there is a new AI water management system that can help prevent drownings (溺水). Sight-bit was d 153 by a company which can be used to help save lives. This programme was created a 154 its creator saw someone drowning in the sea. He believed this could have been stopped and started working on this programme. The Sight-bit system works by using cameras at the beach to read the water c 155 carefully. The AI is able to watch the videos and find dangers. For example, it can tell when the waves are dangerous or w 156 someone is in trouble or not in the water. The new system can also help beach safety officers know where and when someone needs help. Then they can r 157 warnings on devices like smartphones and smartwatches. They can act q 158 to stop accidents through this way. Now, this technology is used in some places around the world. The creator’s goal is for every beach to be a safe place where families can enjoy their time w 159 worry. This. technology shows how science and caring for others can make a big difference in keeping us safe while we are having fun. It’s a great example of what can be achieved when we use new ideas to s 160 real-world problems. Passage 2 More and more people are using mobile phones now. Smartphones are used as televisions, cameras, and m 161 players. They are also used for s 162 emails or surfing the Internet. If someone talks about mobile phones, many Chinese people will think of Huawei. In China, even in the world, Huawei is a w 163 . Ren Zhengfei built the company in 1987. The company sold about 58.4 m 164 smart­phones in the first season of 2019. Huawei has got the second place at the mobile m 165 . Now, Huawei has been the l 166 in the field of 5G. It has more than 75, 000 top engineers and scientists on r 167 . They try their best to bring digital and high t 168 to every person and place. It’s more convenient for m 169 people to live in a rapid way. What a useful technology 5G is! We are looking forward to seeing a stronger Huawei. It provides a faster and better communication way for us. It also brings “C 170 in China” to the world. Passage 3 People all over the world use colorful little squares of paper to help them stay organized. Some people even use them to c 171 works of art. These little squares are called Post-it Notes. One of their creators is Spencer Silver, who p 172 away at the age of 80 in 2021. Silver first started working on the notes in 1968 in the company 3M. He d 173 a type of weak glue that didn’t leave behind any remains when taken off. At first, the glue didn’t w 174 very well. But he and his coworker Art Fry c 175 up with the idea of putting the glue on small pieces of paper to make notes that could be easily moved from one place to a 176 . They borrowed some yellow paper and went to work on their creation. The Post-it Note was finally born in 1974. However, it wasn’t brought to market u 177 1977. Today, it is one of 3M’s best-selling products. The company makes more than 50 million Post-it Notes every year. Silver, a chemist, earned 37 patents (专利) during his time at 3M. He was included into the National Inventors Hall of Fame (美国发明家名人堂) for his a 178 . These days, Post-it Notes are made in many different colors, sizes and shapes, i 179 fruits and animals. They are useful for many things. You can use them to take notes, m 180 your place in a book, give someone a reminder, or even ask someone to a dance. Passage 4 Hand fans Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. At that time, they were almost the only way to drive the h 181 away. The Chinese character for the word “fan” has the same s 182 as the character for “kindness”. The fans came in d 183 shapes such as round ones, square ones and some looked special. They were made from all kinds of materials. Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner’s h 184 position. Sandalwood (檀香) fans could send out a sweet smell. Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They d 185 into works of art, in which tuanshan — round fans and zheshan — folding fans were the most c 186 because people used them a lot. In the shape of a full moon, the r 187 fans stand for union (团圆) and happiness. They have beautiful embroidery (刺绣) with b 188 and flowers on them, representing wealth and longevity (长寿). Women, especially those in the palace, liked to use them. Such fans were very popular in the Han Dynasty. Folding fans were first a 189 in the Song Dynasty and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. They have a history of symbolizing scholarship. Men, especially the literati (文人墨客), used zheshan a lot because it was usually made of paper and the literati could paint and write p 190 on it. It was a way for them to show off their skills in literature, painting and calligraphy. Today, Chinese people still use these fans, although not many people write or paint on them anymore. Passage 5 In a room at Stanford University, scientists are studying a small animal called a gecko. It’s an amazing animal because it can m 191 very quickly up and down a tree and even upside down on ceilings. The scientists are especially interested in the gecko’s f 192 .They want to use the same design on a metal robot that looks very similar to the gecko. It has four feet and can walk up walls made of glass or plastic, but it still has trouble walking upside down. Animals and plants can teach h 193 a lot about design and engineering. As a result, many engineers, scientists, and designers spend time studying them.When they have a problem, n 194 often has the answer.This science is called biomimetics. Bio means “living things” and mimetics means "copying". Velcro is p 195 the most famous example of biomimetics. Most people have some Velcro on clothes and shoes. It was i 196 by the Swiss engineer George inVelcroburrzipper1948. He was walking in the countryside when he pulled a burr o 197 his trousers. He noticed how well the burr stuck to his clothes so he studied its design. The result was Velcro, which became an alternative (替代品) to the traditional zipper. In 1982, Wilhelm Bartlott got a great i 198 studying the leaf of a lotus (莲花) plant. He noticed that water always ran off the leaf. When he had a closer look, he d 199 how it worked. Bartlott copied the leaf's special surface and now you can find it in specialized paint products that don’t allow water and dirt to stick. In conclusion, biomimetics not only has helped to design our world b 200 shows many more possibilities. And yet, they might take a long time to develop. This isn’t really surprising: it took nature millions of years to design its animals and plants. 话题5 哲理与感悟 Passage 1 One day a man found a cocoon (茧) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched it. Suddenly a small butterfly appeared and it t 201 its best to pull its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any p 202 , so the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that it could come out easily. However, to his s 203 , the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon. He continued to watch it, because he hoped that its wings would be strong enough to s 204 the body and fly up in time. U 205 , the flight never happened. In f 206 , the butterfly kept crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings until it died. It was never able to fly. The man didn’t understand the rules of nature. B 207 the butterfly was out of the cocoon, fluid (液体) from its body must be forced into its wings. And then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle (挣扎) to get out of the small opening by i 208 . Sometimes struggles are exactly what we n 209 in our life. If we go through our life w 210 difficulties, we would not be as strong as we could have been. We could never fly. Passage 2 I first watched the movie Forrest Gump (阿甘正传) at the age of ten. The main character Gump is b 211 with a learning disability and a physical problem. But at last he a 212 great success. Last week I watched the movie again in my English class. After watching the movie, my teacher, Miss Li, replayed a short video in which Gump’s mother is dying. After that, we d 213 the following questions: How can you live a life w 214 living? What should you do when facing death? Everyone had different t 215 . Later, we were asked to watch the video a 216 and read the lines together with the characters. Then we tried our best to copy their p 217 and intonation (语调). And we were required to act out the lines. From this class, we learned some good w 218 to learn English, and we also understood the m 219 of life. As Gump says in the movie, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” Work hard and then you can realize your own d 220 . Only in this way, can we live a meaningful life. Passage 3 Ella has a Labubu doll which has big eyes and some little sharp teeth. She loves it so much and plays with it in her e 221 life. But last week, one of her Labubu’s arm was broken. Ella’s heart was filled with s 222 . Her teacher noticed that and asked her gently. Ella said that the broken doll had i 223 her mood for a long time.

Passage 4 The move away from paper train tickets has led to a surge in nostalgia and heated discussion online. Since Oct 1, China Railway Group has stopped providing paper tickets and now uses e-tickets instead. As a ticket collector, I felt a little u 231 when I heard the news. I understand the goal is to save materials, cut costs and make things more convenient for passengers. Still, for many people, paper tickets c 232 touching memories in a way that digital records s 233 can’t. I’ve been collecting train, plane and ship tickets for more than ten years. It all began when I was a child, on a family trip to visit my parents’ friends in Guangdong. Over the years, my ticket album has become a tapestry of memories. As I turn the pages, I remember the people I met, the cultures I discovered and how I grew d 234 the journey. To see paper tickets disappear feels like saying goodbye to a special part of life. I’m not a 235 . Since the new rule started, social media has been filled with “memory posts”. Many people are sharing their collections and the stories b 236 each ticket. This wave of nostalgia shows the emotional v 237 that paper tickets hold. In today’s era of rapid technological p 238 , how to properly address people’s emotional needs also deserves attention. Perhaps train companies could let passengers who prefer paper tickets request them. This wouldn’t slow down o 239 and would still help save materials. They could also offer special souvenir tickets with unique designs or even let passengers design and print their own. Such measures would keep the convenience of digital tools while meeting personal needs. Paper train tickets may be on their way out, but train companies still have the chance to give us both a g 240 , more convenient future and the real, physical memories many travelers hold dear.

It’s an amazing animal because it can m 191 very quickly up and down a tree and even upside down on ceilings. The scientists are especially interested in the gecko’s f 192 .They want to use the same design on a metal robot that looks very similar to the gecko. It has four feet and can walk up walls made of glass or plastic, but it still has trouble walking upside down. Animals and plants can teach h 193 a lot about design and engineering. As a result, many engineers, scientists, and designers spend time studying them.When they have a problem, n 194 often has the answer.This science is called biomimetics. Bio means “living things” and mimetics means "copying". Velcro is p 195 the most famous example of biomimetics. Most people have some Velcro on clothes and shoes. It was i 196 by the Swiss engineer George inVelcroburrzipper1948. He was walking in the countryside when he pulled a burr o 197 his trousers. He noticed how well the burr stuck to his clothes so he studied its design. The result was Velcro, which became an alternative (替代品) to the traditional zipper. In 1982, Wilhelm Bartlott got a great i 198 studying the leaf of a lotus (莲花) plant. He noticed that water always ran off the leaf. When he had a closer look, he d 199 how it worked. Bartlott copied the leaf's special surface and now you can find it in specialized paint products that don’t allow water and dirt to stick. In conclusion, biomimetics not only has helped to design our world b 200 shows many more possibilities. And yet, they might take a long time to develop. This isn’t really surprising: it took nature millions of years to design its animals and plants. 【答案】 191．(m)ove 192．(f)eet 193．(h)umans 194．(n)ature 195．(p)robably 196．(i)nvented 197．(o)ff 198．(i)dea 199．(d)iscovered 200．(b)ut 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家们学习研究动植物，并将其优点注入自己的设计发明中，从而为人们的生活带来便利。 191．句意：它是一个很神奇的动物，因为它可以在树上快速上下移动，甚至倒立在天花板上。根据后文“very quickly up and down a tree”可知，是在树上快速移动，can后跟动词原形。故填(m)ove。 192．句意：科学家对壁虎的脚特别感兴趣。根据后文“They want to use the same design on a metal robot that looks very similar to the gecko.

Since Oct 1, China Railway Group has stopped providing paper tickets and now uses e-tickets instead. As a ticket collector, I felt a little u 231 when I heard the news. I understand the goal is to save materials, cut costs and make things more convenient for passengers. Still, for many people, paper tickets c 232 touching memories in a way that digital records s 233 can’t. I’ve been collecting train, plane and ship tickets for more than ten years. It all began when I was a child, on a family trip to visit my parents’ friends in Guangdong. Over the years, my ticket album has become a tapestry of memories. As I turn the pages, I remember the people I met, the cultures I discovered and how I grew d 234 the journey. To see paper tickets disappear feels like saying goodbye to a special part of life. I’m not a 235 . Since the new rule started, social media has been filled with “memory posts”. Many people are sharing their collections and the stories b 236 each ticket. This wave of nostalgia shows the emotional v 237 that paper tickets hold. In today’s era of rapid technological p 238 , how to properly address people’s emotional needs also deserves attention. Perhaps train companies could let passengers who prefer paper tickets request them. This wouldn’t slow down o 239 and would still help save materials.
