Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Shadow puppetry (皮影戏), also known as shadow play, is a traditional Chinese art form that dates back 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220).During the performance, puppets made of leather or paper are manipulated by puppeteers using rods to create the illusion of moving images on a translucent cloth screen illuminated from behind.UNESCO recognizes the art form as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Last month, two famous online personalities, each with more than 10 million followers, Nanxiang Buaichifan and Jiuyue, shared videos documenting their journey to learn how to perform shadow puppetry that have attracted over 20 million views on social media platforms, such as Bilibili and Douyin.
The two personalities dedicated a month to learning the art from the very beginning with the shadow puppets they had made.The challenge of mastering this millennia-old technique within such a short time frame initially seemed like mission impossible.Fortunately, Nanxiang Buaichifan and Jiuyue were lucky enough to learn from the best — Dang Feihua, a 23-year-old inheritor of the shadow puppetry tradition.
Dang is the fifth-generation inheritor of Wang’s Shadow, a family troupe based in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province.Cooperating with the two famous online personalities was a strategic move to introduce the world of shadow puppetry to the influencers’ young followers.
“In an age without smartphones, traditional performances were what kept our country entertained for thousands of years.Without teams of actors, a single performer is able to command generals and soldiers, traversing (穿越) the millennia,” Nanxiang Buaichifan says.
The core technique of Wang’s Shadow lies in the art of pushing the leather while the tip of the knife remains still.When it comes to the crucial wrist and forearm strength needed, Dang chose a different path to his elders.Rather than employ the traditional method of hanging weights on the wrist, he opted for a modern approach — hitting the gym and lifting dumbbells.“The younger generation today connects with fundamentals in different ways,” he says.

It was supposed to be a normal trip to the supermarket.My son was little, and it was getting close to naptime, so I was rushing to the cashier desk.However, when I went to start the car and realized my keys were gone — I must have locked them in the trunk with my bag.
I wasn’t sure what to do, so I took my son out of his car seat and went back inside the store with my cart still full of groceries.I had to use their phone to call my husband for the spare key.After multiple calls and messages with no answer, I was getting frustrated.
An employee at the store — whose name was Kelly — tapped me on the shoulder and took me to the Starbucks café that was inside the store.She walked over to the counter and came back with one for me.I told her how stupid I was, and she assured me it happened to a lot of people.She said if I couldn’t get in touch with my husband, they would call someone to get the trunk open.
After I got home that day, I kept thinking about what she had done for me and wanted to do something for her.When I saw her working again at the store, I told her how grateful I was.She would accept nothing in return and just told me to pay it forward.
So, Kelly, these are the things that you have done because I was thinking of your kindness as I did them:
Multiple doors held for people, letting someone ahead of me in line, picking up trash that someone tossed on the ground, hitting “yes” on the donation button at the checkout, helping a woman with heavy bags, food donations, helping a stranger find her glasses, and many others.
I am so glad I met Kelly that day.I am a better person because of my encounter with Kelly.Who would have thought one act of kindness could have so much of an effect on a person?

Regulate your emotions
Emotional regulation is as important as physical or mental preparation.“All of us have a set of emotions we feel are important for us to perform our best: I’m confident, but not overconfident.13.( ).Maybe I’m a little fearful, but it’s not overwhelming,” Gould said.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。皮影戏是一种传统的中国艺术形式,它可以追溯到2,000年前的汉朝。最近两位网红通过网络向大众传播这一艺术形式。

2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,上个月,两名拥有超过1,000万粉丝的著名网红Nanxiang Buaichifan和 Jiuyue分享了他们在西安学习皮影戏的视频,这些视频在哔哩哔哩和抖音等社交媒体平台上吸引了超过2,000万的播放量。

13.C 上文出现了I’m confident, but not overconfident,下文出现了I’m a little fearful, but it’s not overwhelming,C项正好是同类句式,跟它们形成并列,且同属情感调节领域内容。
