Disney’s long-awaited sequel, Zootopia 2, has set an unprecedented benchmark in China’s film industry, shattering the single-day box office record for an imported animated feature. The film enthralled audiences upon its November 26, 2025 debut: by 8 p.m. on opening day, it had grossed 213 million yuan, and by day’s end, this figure climbed to 228 million yuan — a testament to its immediate resonance with local viewers.
To industry analysts, this record-breaking performance was hardly unforeseen. The film had already etched its name in history with 309.1 million yuan in nine-day pre-sales, a new high for animated releases in China. It also secured 254,000 opening-day screenings, the largest number ever allocated to an international film in the Chinese market. This groundswell of anticipation translated into a stellar 9.7/10 rating on major domestic ticketing platforms shortly after its release.
Multiple elements converged to drive this extraordinary success. The beloved pair — Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde — returned for a layered adventure, luring fans back to Zootopia’s vivid universe. Their latest case, centered on unraveling the enigmatic actions of new character Gary De’Snake, reveals layers of complexity beyond initial appearances, with the film nuancedly exploring themes of inclusion and empathy through its accessible narrative. Disney’s all-encompassing marketing push, featuring targeted partnerships and localized events across China, amplified visibility. Most critically, the movie’s uplifting message about solidarity and courage struck a profound chord with Chinese audiences.
Beyond its commercial triumph, Zootopia 2’s success underscores the deep bond Chinese viewers have forged with these characters and their world. It exemplifies how meticulously crafted animation, anchored in universal themes of friendship and harmony, can attain both critical acclaim and commercial prosperity while navigating cross-cultural nuances.
4. What is the primary focus of the passage?
A. To analyze Zootopia 2’s commercial triumph in China and its underlying drivers.
B. To outline Zootopia 2’s plot and character arcs.
C. To compare Zootopia 2’s performance with other global animated blockbusters.
D. To examine Zootopia 2’s cultural impact on Sino-Western media exchanges.
5. The phrase “navigating cross-cultural nuances” most closely means ________.
A. Ignoring subtle cultural differences to maintain a universal tone.
B. Adjusting to small, specific cultural details while retaining core themes.
C. Prioritizing local cultural values over the original work’s intent.
D. Exaggerating cultural distinctions to appeal to diverse audiences.
6. According to Paragraph 2, why did industry analysts not find Zootopia 2’s opening-day success surprising?
A. The film had already received a 9.7/10 rating before its release.
B. It broke the single-day box office record for imported animated films.
C. Its pre-sales and opening-day screenings set new benchmarks for animated/international films.
D. Chinese audiences had expressed strong nostalgia for the original Zootopia.
7. Which detail from Paragraph 3 best supports the claim that Zootopia 2’s narrative is thematically rich?
A. The return of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde lured existing fans back to the franchise.
B. The film’s message about solidarity resonated deeply with domestic viewers.
C. Disney’s marketing campaign included localized events across multiple Chinese cities.

During the 15th Five-Year Plan period , the National Space Science Center (NSSC) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will launch a suite of cutting-edge scientific satellite missions, targeting frontier questions like the universe’s origins, the genesis of space weather, and the dawn of life. Unveiled at a recent press conference on China’s space science pilot program, these missions aim to push boundaries in fields long shrouded in mystery.
A centerpiece is the Hongmeng Program, dubbed the “ear to the infant universe.” Comprising 10 satellites forming a low-frequency radio telescope array, it will journey to the lunar far side — a cosmic “quiet zone” shielded from Earth and solar radio noise — to capture faint signals from the cosmos’s earliest epochs: the chaotic hundreds of millions of years post-Big Bang, before the first stars ignited. This data could unlock secrets of the “cosmic dark age,” a period barely explored by human observation.
Another landmark mission is Kuafu-2, the world’s first satellite designed to orbit above the sun’s polar regions. Touted as a “high-altitude solar photographer,” it will stare directly at the sun’s north and south poles — regions critical to unraveling solar magnetic activity, whose fluctuations shape space weather and affect Earth’s tech infrastructure.
Complementing these are two more missions: an exoplanet survey satellite tasked with hunting for “Earth 2.0” (Earth-sized worlds in habitable zones, potential future homes for humanity) and an upgraded X-ray timing and polarization observatory. The latter will probe “extreme forbidden zones” of the universe: black hole event horizons, where gravity warps spacetime, and neutron star surfaces, where magnetic fields dwarf Earth’s by a trillionfold.
Beyond these upcoming missions, the press conference highlighted milestones from China’s existing space science fleet. Launched since 2011, 8 satellites — including Wukong (a dark matter explorer) and Tianguan (China’s Einstein Probe) — have yielded groundbreaking discoveries: China’s firsts, and even global firsts. For instance, in extreme macrocosm research, it produced the world’s first all-sky X-ray map; in extreme microcosm, it captured the most precise spectra of cosmic-ray particles to date. These feats have shifted China’s space research from “following others” to “keeping pace” and even “leading” in select domains, NSSC officials noted.
Equally notable is the program’s international outreach. The SMILE satellite, a full-cycle collaboration between CAS and the European Space Agency (ESA), and Tianguan (with ESA, German, and French participation) — ESA’s first role as an “opportunity mission” in a Chinese space project — exemplify deepened global partnerships. By forging international research teams and sharing data, China seeks to amplify the global impact of its space science endeavors.
In essence, the 15th Five-Year Plan missions and the pilot program’s legacy reflect a singular ambition: to turn China into a global powerhouse in space science, unraveling the universe’s most intractable mysteries while fostering cross-border scientific cooperation.
8. What is the primary goal of the Hongmeng Program?
A. To map the sun’s magnetic fields from its polar regions.
B. To detect faint signals from the universe’s earliest post-Big Bang period.
C. To search for Earth-like planets in habitable zones of distant stars.
D. To observe extreme cosmic regions like black hole event horizons.
9. What can be inferred about the lunar far side from Paragraph 2?
A. It is the only region in space that can block solar radio interference.
B. Its lack of radio noise makes it ideal for capturing early cosmic signals.
C. It has been the main target of most international space missions.
D. It is where the first stars in the universe were formed.
10. Which of the following is cited as evidence that China’s space research has advanced to a leading position in some areas?
A. The launch of 8 scientific satellites since 2011.
B. The collaboration with ESA on the SMILE satellite.
C. The production of the world’s first all-sky X-ray map.
D. The design of Kuafu-2 to orbit the sun’s polar regions.
11. What does the passage suggest about China’s international space collaborations?
A. They are focused on helping other countries develop satellite technology.
B. They have established China as the leading partner in most global space initiatives.
C. They involve data sharing and joint research to boost global scientific progress.

The Invisible Tapestry: How Immigrants Weave Bicultural Identities into Society
Every year, over 281 million people worldwide leave their home countries — equivalent to the entire population of Brazil — seeking safety, opportunity, or a better life. Yet beyond the statistical headlines lies a quieter, more profound reality: for many immigrants, the greatest challenge is not crossing borders, but navigating the fragile space between two cultures. This “bicultural identity”—the ability to move between one’s heritage culture and the adopted society — has long been misunderstood as a “split” or “conflict,” but emerging research reveals it as a strength that reshapes both individuals and the communities they join.
A 2023 Stanford University study tracking 1,200 Latinx immigrant families in the U.S. offers striking insights. Researchers found that families who maintained “selective assimilation” — preserving core traditions like weekly tamal-making or Spanish-language storytelling while embracing American norms such as community volunteering — reported 47% higher life satisfaction than those who fully abandoned their heritage to “fit in.” More surprisingly, the children of these families showed greater academic resilience: 62% graduated high school with honors, compared to 38% of peers from families that prioritized complete cultural absorption. “Biculturalism isn’t about choosing one culture over the other,” explains Dr. Elena Marquez, lead researcher. “It’s about building a third space — one where a teenager can explain Día de los Muertos to their classmates while also cheering for their school’s football team.”
This third space, however, is not without friction. For first-generation immigrants, the tension often arises from “cultural guilt”: a Nigerian mother working double shifts to afford her daughter’s ballet lessons may feel she’s failing to pass down Yoruba values; a Vietnamese father teaching his son to fix cars in their garage may worry the boy is losing touch with his roots. Meanwhile, second-generation immigrants face their own battle: labeled “too foreign” by peers in their adopted country and “too Americanized” by relatives back home. A 2024 survey of 500 Asian American young adults found that 73% had been asked, “Where are you really from?” — a question that erases their sense of belonging in the only country they’ve ever known.
Critics of immigration often frame cultural diversity as a threat to social cohesion, arguing that immigrants “dilute” national identity. But economic data tells a different story. The Migration Policy Institute reports that immigrant-owned small businesses in the U.S. generate $885 billion annually, and in Europe, skilled immigrants fill 30% of jobs in healthcare and engineering — fields facing severe labor shortages. More importantly, bicultural individuals act as “cultural bridges”: a Mexican American nurse translating for elderly Spanish-speaking patients, a Somali American community organizer connecting refugee families to local resources. These acts of translation, both linguistic and cultural, strengthen social bonds rather than weaken them.
At its core, the debate over immigration misses a fundamental truth: cultures have never been static. The U.S. “melting pot” was never just about assimilation — it was about German beer halls blending with Irish pubs, African rhythms shaping jazz, and Chinese dumplings becoming a staple of American takeout. Today’s bicultural immigrants are continuing that tradition, not as outsiders, but as weavers adding new threads to the tapestry of society. Their identities are not a problem to solve, but a resource to celebrate — proof that belonging doesn’t require choosing one culture, but creating space for both.
12. What did the Stanford University study reveal about “selective assimilation” among Latinx immigrant families?
A. It leads to lower academic performance compared to complete cultural absorption.
B. It helps families achieve higher life satisfaction and children build academic resilience.
C. It causes significant conflict between parents and children over cultural values.
D. It requires families to abandon most heritage traditions to adapt to American society.
13. What can be inferred from the survey of Asian American young adults?
A. Most second-generation Asian Americans feel a strong sense of belonging in the U.S.
B. Peers in the U.S. often recognize and respect the cultural heritage of Asian Americans.
C. Relatives back home fully accept the “Americanized” lifestyle of second-generation immigrants.
D. Second-generation immigrants frequently face questions that challenge their national identity.
14. What is the main argument of the fourth paragraph?
A. Immigrant-owned businesses are more profitable than those owned by native citizens.
B. Critics of immigration are correct to worry about the dilution of national identity.
C. Bicultural individuals and immigrants make important economic and social contributions.
D. Skilled immigrants in Europe are primarily employed in the healthcare industry.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward bicultural identity among immigrants?
A. Supportive B. Neutral C. Critical D. Skeptical
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“At its core, the debate over immigration misses a fundamental truth: cultures have never been static. The U.S. ‘melting pot’ was never just about assimilation — it was about German beer halls blending with Irish pubs, African rhythms shaping jazz, and Chinese dumplings becoming a staple of American takeout.

Their identities are not a problem to solve, but a resource to celebrate — proof that belonging doesn’t require choosing one culture, but creating space for both.(关于移民的争论忽略了一个基本事实:文化从来都不是静态的。美国的“大熔炉”从来不仅仅是关于同化——它是关于德国啤酒馆与爱尔兰酒吧的融合,非洲节奏塑造爵士乐,以及中国饺子成为美国外卖的主食。今天的双重文化移民正在延续这一传统,他们不是作为外来者,而是作为织工,为社会这幅织锦增添新的丝线。他们的身份不是一个需要解决的问题,而是一种值得庆祝的资源——这证明了归属感并不需要选择一种文化,而是为两种文化都创造空间)”可知,作者对移民的双重文化身份持支持态度。故选A。

Li Jia returned to her hometown in the remote mountains last summer, only to find the once-thriving bamboo weaving industry on the edge of ____21____. The old workshops, where her grandfather once spent decades perfecting his ____22____, now stood empty, their wooden frames covered in dust. The familiar sound of bamboo strips being split — once a constant backdrop to village life — had fallen silent.
When she asked Uncle Wang the last remaining master weaver in the village, why no young people wanted to learn the craft, he sighed heavily. “Bamboo weaving takes at least five years to master, and the pay is ____23____ compared to factory jobs in the city. Young folks are in too much of a hurry to ____24____ the patience it requires. They’d rather work overtime for quick money than sit for hours splitting bamboo into thin, even strips.” His words left Li Jia with a deep sense of ____25____; she remembered watching her grandfather weave baskets as a child, his hands moving with effortless ____26____, turning raw bamboo into works of art.
Determined to ____27____ the tradition from fading away, Li Jia quit her office job in the city and moved back home.

At first, her efforts were met with ____29____. Some villagers joked that she was “chasing ghosts of the past,” while others doubted a young woman could ever ____30____ such a complex craft. But Li Jia didn’t let the doubt stop her.
She set up an online shop, where she sold the pieces Uncle Wang made, and used the profits to ____31____ high-quality bamboo for him. She also created short videos about bamboo weaving, sharing the stories behind each piece — how a basket’s pattern was inspired by mountain clouds, or how a mat’s color reflected the village’s autumn foliage. To her surprise, the videos went viral, attracting thousands of views from people ____32____ in traditional crafts.
Slowly, Li Jia’s work ____33____. More young people in the village began to gather around Uncle Wang’s workshop, asking to learn. She even organized workshops in nearby cities, where she taught urban residents the basics of bamboo weaving. “It’s not just about making baskets,” Li Jia told a reporter during an interview. “It’s about keeping our ancestors’ wisdom ____34____ — a way to let the world know that our small village has something precious to ____35____.”

【答案】
Nowadays, the “loneliness economy” among teenagers is on the rise, referring to individual consumption like single-person meals and mini home appliances to relieve loneliness.
This trend mainly stems from heavy study pressure and less face-to-face communication with peers. Many teens turn to such consumption as a way to comfort themselves when feeling isolated. However, excessive spending may bring financial burdens.
In my opinion, teens should balance consumption with practical needs. We can also join clubs or volunteer activities to make friends, which helps reduce loneliness fundamentally. Let’s embrace real connections while rationalizing our consumption.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Three years ago, Clara was one of the most beloved children’s book illustrators in the city. Her drawings of soft-eyed rabbits and sun-dappled forests had filled thousands of bedtime stories — until a car crash shattered her right wrist. The nerve damage left her hand perpetually unsteady; she could no longer sketch the fine, curved lines that had defined her work. She quit her studio, moved into her sister’s cluttered secondhand shop, and buried every trace of her old art under boxes of dusty books. She spoke to customers in monosyllables, her gaze fixed on the floor, as if hiding from the world that had once celebrated her.
It was on a gray Tuesday that 14-year-old Jasper wandered in. His hoodie was too big, his backpack bulging with tattered picture books, and he lingered by the shelf of children’s literature like a shadow. “Do you have The Rabbit’s Oak?” he asked, his voice barely audible. Clara froze — that was her first book, the one she’d stopped drawing mid-final chapter after the crash. She nodded, pulling a frayed copy from the shelf.
Jasper’s fingers trembled as he opened it. Taped to the inside cover was a scrap of paper: a crumpled drawing of a rabbit, done in his messy pencil strokes. “My mom used to read this to me,” he said. “She left last year, and… these pictures feel like she’s still here.” Clara glanced at the drawing — he’d copied her style, clumsy but earnest. For the first time in years, she felt a twinge of something other than numbness.
A week later, Jasper returned, clutching the same book. Its final page was blank; she’d never finished the illustration of the rabbit finding its home. “Can you draw the ending?” he asked. “I keep imagining it, but… it’s not the same.” Clara stared at her right hand, which had started to shake at the mention of drawing. “I can’t,” she said, her voice sharp. “I don’t do that anymore.” Jasper’s shoulders slumped. He left the book on the counter and slipped out, his backpack dragging. Clara stared at the blank page long after the shop closed, her unsteady fingers hovering over the spine.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:Clara stared at the half-empty page in the book, her right hand tightening around the pencil she hadn’t held in years.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:However, Jasper didn’t show up at the shop for three days.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Clara stared at the half-empty page in the book, her right hand tightening around the pencil she hadn’t held in years. The trembling began, but she ignored it, focusing instead on the memory of her own rabbits — the ones with soft eyes and gentle smiles. Slowly, she began to sketch, her lines wobbly at first but gradually growing steadier. She drew the rabbit finding its oak, its branches stretching wide as if to embrace the lost creature. When she finished, she sat back, breathless, and stared at the page. It wasn’t perfect, but it was hers.
However, Jasper didn’t show up at the shop for three days. Clara waited anxiously, her mind filled with doubts. Had she scared him away with her initial refusal? On the fourth day, he burst through the door, his face alight with excitement. “I saw it!” he cried, pointing to the book. “You finished it!” Clara nodded, her heart swelling. Jasper hugged the book tightly, his eyes shining. “It’s better than I imagined,” he whispered. From that day on, Clara began to draw again, not for the world, but for the boy who had reminded her that art was not just about perfection, but about connection.
【解析】

Disney’s long-awaited sequel, Zootopia 2, has set an unprecedented benchmark in China’s film industry, shattering the single-day box office record for an imported animated feature. The film enthralled audiences upon its November 26, 2025 debut: by 8 p.m. on opening day, it had grossed 213 million yuan, and by day’s end, this figure climbed to 228 million yuan — a testament to its immediate resonance with local viewers.
To industry analysts, this record-breaking performance was hardly unforeseen. The film had already etched its name in history with 309.1 million yuan in nine-day pre-sales, a new high for animated releases in China. It also secured 254,000 opening-day screenings, the largest number ever allocated to an international film in the Chinese market. This groundswell of anticipation translated into a stellar 9.7/10 rating on major domestic ticketing platforms shortly after its release.
Multiple elements converged to drive this extraordinary success. The beloved pair — Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde — returned for a layered adventure, luring fans back to Zootopia’s vivid universe. Their latest case, centered on unraveling the enigmatic actions of new character Gary De’Snake, reveals layers of complexity beyond initial appearances, with the film nuancedly exploring themes of inclusion and empathy through its accessible narrative. Disney’s all-encompassing marketing push, featuring targeted partnerships and localized events across China, amplified visibility. Most critically, the movie’s uplifting message about solidarity and courage struck a profound chord with Chinese audiences.
Beyond its commercial triumph, Zootopia 2’s success underscores the deep bond Chinese viewers have forged with these characters and their world. It exemplifies how meticulously crafted animation, anchored in universal themes of friendship and harmony, can attain both critical acclaim and commercial prosperity while navigating cross-cultural nuances.
4. What is the primary focus of the passage?
A. To analyze Zootopia 2’s commercial triumph in China and its underlying drivers.
B. To outline Zootopia 2’s plot and character arcs.
C. To compare Zootopia 2’s performance with other global animated blockbusters.
D. To examine Zootopia 2’s cultural impact on Sino-Western media exchanges.
5. The phrase “navigating cross-cultural nuances” most closely means ________.
A. Ignoring subtle cultural differences to maintain a universal tone.
B. Adjusting to small, specific cultural details while retaining core themes.
C. Prioritizing local cultural values over the original work’s intent.
D. Exaggerating cultural distinctions to appeal to diverse audiences.
6. According to Paragraph 2, why did industry analysts not find Zootopia 2’s opening-day success surprising?
A. The film had already received a 9.7/10 rating before its release.
B. It broke the single-day box office record for imported animated films.
C Its pre-sales and opening-day screenings set new benchmarks for animated/international films.
D. Chinese audiences had expressed strong nostalgia for the original Zootopia.
7. Which detail from Paragraph 3 best supports the claim that Zootopia 2’s narrative is thematically rich?
A. The return of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde lured existing fans back to the franchise.
B. The film’s message about solidarity resonated deeply with domestic viewers.
C. Disney’s marketing campaign included localized events across multiple Chinese cities.
D. The case involving Gary De’Snake unfolds to reveal unexpected layers of complexity.
C
During the 15th Five-Year Plan period , the National Space Science Center (NSSC) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will launch a suite of cutting-edge scientific satellite missions, targeting frontier questions like the universe’s origins, the genesis of space weather, and the dawn of life. Unveiled at a recent press conference on China’s space science pilot program, these missions aim to push boundaries in fields long shrouded in mystery.
A centerpiece is the Hongmeng Program, dubbed the “ear to the infant universe.” Comprising 10 satellites forming a low-frequency radio telescope array, it will journey to the lunar far side — a cosmic “quiet zone” shielded from Earth and solar radio noise — to capture faint signals from the cosmos’s earliest epochs: the chaotic hundreds of millions of years post-Big Bang, before the first stars ignited. This data could unlock secrets of the “cosmic dark age,” a period barely explored by human observation.
Another landmark mission is Kuafu-2 the world’s first satellite designed to orbit above the sun’s polar regions. Touted as a “high-altitude solar photographer,” it will stare directly at the sun’s north and south poles — regions critical to unraveling solar magnetic activity, whose fluctuations shape space weather and affect Earth’s tech infrastructure.
Complementing these are two more missions: an exoplanet survey satellite tasked with hunting for “Earth 2.0” (Earth-sized worlds in habitable zones, potential future homes for humanity) and an upgraded X-ray timing and polarization observatory. The latter will probe “extreme forbidden zones” of the universe: black hole event horizons, where gravity warps spacetime, and neutron star surfaces, where magnetic fields dwarf Earth’s by a trillionfold.
Beyond these upcoming missions, the press conference highlighted milestones from China’s existing space science fleet. Launched since 2011, 8 satellites — including Wukong (a dark matter explorer) and Tianguan (China’s Einstein Probe) — have yielded groundbreaking discoveries: China’s firsts, and even global firsts. For instance, in extreme macrocosm research, it produced the world’s first all-sky X-ray map; in extreme microcosm, it captured the most precise spectra of cosmic-ray particles to date. These feats have shifted China’s space research from “following others” to “keeping pace” and even “leading” in select domains, NSSC officials noted.
Equally notable is the program’s international outreach. The SMILE satellite, a full-cycle collaboration between CAS and the European Space Agency (ESA), and Tianguan (with ESA, German, and French participation) — ESA’s first role as an “opportunity mission” in a Chinese space project — exemplify deepened global partnerships. By forging international research teams and sharing data, China seeks to amplify the global impact of its space science endeavors.
In essence, the 15th Five-Year Plan missions and the pilot program’s legacy reflect a singular ambition: to turn China into a global powerhouse in space science, unraveling the universe’s most intractable mysteries while fostering cross-border scientific cooperation.
8. What is the primary goal of the Hongmeng Program?
A. To map the sun’s magnetic fields from its polar regions.
B. To detect faint signals from the universe’s earliest post-Big Bang period.
C. To search for Earth-like planets in habitable zones of distant stars.
D. To observe extreme cosmic regions like black hole event horizons.
9. What can be inferred about the lunar far side from Paragraph 2?
A. It is the only region in space that can block solar radio interference.
B. Its lack of radio noise makes it ideal for capturing early cosmic signals.
C. It has been the main target of most international space missions.
D. It is where the first stars in the universe were formed.
10. Which of the following is cited as evidence that China’s space research has advanced to a leading position in some areas?
A. The launch of 8 scientific satellites since 2011.
B. The collaboration with ESA on the SMILE satellite.
C. The production of the world’s first all-sky X-ray map.
D. The design of Kuafu-2 to orbit the sun’s polar regions.
11. What does the passage suggest about China’s international space collaborations?
A. They are focused on helping other countries develop satellite technology.
B. They have established China as the leading partner in most global space initiatives.
C. They involve data sharing and joint research to boost global scientific progress.
D. They are limited to European countries due to technical restrictions.

The Invisible Tapestry: How Immigrants Weave Bicultural Identities into Society
Every year, over 281 million people worldwide leave their home countries — equivalent to the entire population of Brazil — seeking safety, opportunity, or a better life. Yet beyond the statistical headlines lies a quieter, more profound reality: for many immigrants, the greatest challenge is not crossing borders, but navigating the fragile space between two cultures. This “bicultural identity”—the ability to move between one’s heritage culture and the adopted society — has long been misunderstood as a “split” or “conflict,” but emerging research reveals it as a strength that reshapes both individuals and the communities they join.
A 2023 Stanford University study tracking 1,200 Latinx immigrant families in the U.S. offers striking insights. Researchers found that families who maintained “selective assimilation” — preserving core traditions like weekly tamal-making or Spanish-language storytelling while embracing American norms such as community volunteering — reported 47% higher life satisfaction than those who fully abandoned their heritage to “fit in.” More surprisingly, the children of these families showed greater academic resilience: 62% graduated high school with honors, compared to 38% of peers from families that prioritized complete cultural absorption. “Biculturalism isn’t about choosing one culture over the other,” explains Dr. Elena Marquez, lead researcher. “It’s about building a third space — one where a teenager can explain Día de los Muertos to their classmates while also cheering for their school’s football team.”
This third space, however, is not without friction. For first-generation immigrants, the tension often arises from “cultural guilt”: a Nigerian mother working double shifts to afford her daughter’s ballet lessons may feel she’s failing to pass down Yoruba values; a Vietnamese father teaching his son to fix cars in their garage may worry the boy is losing touch with his roots. Meanwhile, second-generation immigrants face their own battle: labeled “too foreign” by peers in their adopted country and “too Americanized” by relatives back home. A 2024 survey of 500 Asian American young adults found that 73% had been asked, “Where are you really from?” — a question that erases their sense of belonging in the only country they’ve ever known.
Critics of immigration often frame cultural diversity as a threat to social cohesion, arguing that immigrants “dilute” national identity. But economic data tells a different story. The Migration Policy Institute reports that immigrant-owned small businesses in the U.S. generate $885 billion annually, and in Europe, skilled immigrants fill 30% of jobs in healthcare and engineering — fields facing severe labor shortages. More importantly, bicultural individuals act as “cultural bridges”: a Mexican American nurse translating for elderly Spanish-speaking patients, a Somali American community organizer connecting refugee families to local resources. These acts of translation, both linguistic and cultural, strengthen social bonds rather than weaken them.
At its core, the debate over immigration misses a fundamental truth: cultures have never been static. The U.S. “melting pot” was never just about assimilation — it was about German beer halls blending with Irish pubs, African rhythms shaping jazz, and Chinese dumplings becoming a staple of American takeout. Today’s bicultural immigrants are continuing that tradition, not as outsiders, but as weavers adding new threads to the tapestry of society. Their identities are not a problem to solve, but a resource to celebrate — proof that belonging doesn’t require choosing one culture, but creating space for both.

Li Jia returned to her hometown in the remote mountains last summer, only to find the once-thriving bamboo weaving industry on the edge of ____21____. The old workshops, where her grandfather once spent decades perfecting his ____22____, now stood empty, their wooden frames covered in dust. The familiar sound of bamboo strips being split — once a constant backdrop to village life — had fallen silent.
When she asked Uncle Wang, the last remaining master weaver in the village, why no young people wanted to learn the craft, he sighed heavily. “Bamboo weaving takes at least five years to master, and the pay is ____23____ compared to factory jobs in the city. Young folks are in too much of a hurry to ____24____ the patience it requires. They’d rather work overtime for quick money than sit for hours splitting bamboo into thin, even strips.” His words left Li Jia with a deep sense of ____25____; she remembered watching her grandfather weave baskets as a child, his hands moving with effortless ____26____, turning raw bamboo into works of art.
Determined to ____27____ the tradition from fading away, Li Jia quit her office job in the city and moved back home. She started by documenting Uncle Wang’s weaving process — taking hundreds of photos and videos, ____28____ every detail of how he softened bamboo in boiling water, split it with a bamboo knife, and wove the strips into delicate baskets and mats. At first, her efforts were met with ____29____. Some villagers joked that she was “chasing ghosts of the past,” while others doubted a young woman could ever ____30____ such a complex craft. But Li Jia didn’t let the doubt stop her.
She set up an online shop, where she sold the pieces Uncle Wang made, and used the profits to ____31____ high-quality bamboo for him. She also created short videos about bamboo weaving, sharing the stories behind each piece — how a basket’s pattern was inspired by mountain clouds, or how a mat’s color reflected the village’s autumn foliage. To her surprise, the videos went viral, attracting thousands of views from people ____32____ in traditional crafts.
Slowly, Li Jia’s work ____33____. More young people in the village began to gather around Uncle Wang’s workshop, asking to learn. She even organized workshops in nearby cities, where she taught urban residents the basics of bamboo weaving. “It’s not just about making baskets,” Li Jia told a reporter during an interview. “It’s about keeping our ancestors’ wisdom ____34____ — a way to let the world know that our small village has something precious to ____35____.”
Today, the sound of splitting bamboo has returned to the village. And for Li Jia, that sound is more than just noise — it’s the sound of tradition coming back to life.

Three years ago, Clara was one of the most beloved children’s book illustrators in the city. Her drawings of soft-eyed rabbits and sun-dappled forests had filled thousands of bedtime stories — until a car crash shattered her right wrist. The nerve damage left her hand perpetually unsteady; she could no longer sketch the fine, curved lines that had defined her work. She quit her studio, moved into her sister’s cluttered secondhand shop, and buried every trace of her old art under boxes of dusty books. She spoke to customers in monosyllables, her gaze fixed on the floor, as if hiding from the world that had once celebrated her.
It was on a gray Tuesday that 14-year-old Jasper wandered in. His hoodie was too big his backpack bulging with tattered picture books, and he lingered by the shelf of children’s literature like a shadow. “Do you have The Rabbit’s Oak?” he asked, his voice barely audible. Clara froze — that was her first book, the one she’d stopped drawing mid-final chapter after the crash. She nodded, pulling a frayed copy from the shelf.
Jasper’s fingers trembled as he opened it. Taped to the inside cover was a scrap of paper: a crumpled drawing of a rabbit, done in his messy pencil strokes. “My mom used to read this to me,” he said. “She left last year, and… these pictures feel like she’s still here.” Clara glanced at the drawing — he’d copied her style, clumsy but earnest. For the first time in years, she felt a twinge of something other than numbness.
A week later, Jasper returned, clutching the same book. Its final page was blank; she’d never finished the illustration of the rabbit finding its home. “Can you draw the ending?” he asked. “I keep imagining it, but… it’s not the same.” Clara stared at her right hand, which had started to shake at the mention of drawing. “I can’t,” she said, her voice sharp. “I don’t do that anymore.” Jasper’s shoulders slumped. He left the book on the counter and slipped out, his backpack dragging. Clara stared at the blank page long after the shop closed, her unsteady fingers hovering over the spine.
注意:
(1)续写词数应150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:Clara stared at the half-empty page in the book, her right hand tightening around the pencil she hadn’t held in years.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:However, Jasper didn’t show up at the shop for three days.
