When the last race of the F1 season ended, Norris screamed on the team radio. He was super excited to become world No. 1! Then we heard him say: “I love you guys (his team members). I love you, Mum. I love you, Dad. Thanks for everything. I’m not crying!” Well, while he was saying this, tears were actually rolling down his face inside his helmet. He had every right to be in tears because his path to victory had been so hard. Lando began racing at a young age. When he entered F1 in 2019, everyone had high hopes for him. However, he didn’t have very good results. He made mistakes and didn’t win any race until the 2024 Miami Grand Prix (美国迈阿密大奖赛). Some unkind people called him Lando “No-wins.” They laughed at him and doubted his abilities and skills. Lando was once very sad about this. But he managed to keep positive and continued to work hard. He turned the doubts and criticism (批判) into fuel to become a better driver and person. Finally, he answered all the doubters and critics with his first F1 world title. Lando may not look very cool or have a strong personality like the other world champions before him, but he works hard for every race and plays fair; he supports his team and even stays to help mechanics (机械师) take apart the cars after races. Even during hard times, he always had a smile on his face. A person like that isn’t just a champion on the track-he’s a role model off it as well. 31. Why did Lando cry inside his helmet? A. He regretted his early racing mistakes. B. He was very sad about his past failures. C. He feared people would still laugh at him. D. He was excited and touched by his hard journey. 32.

It is also art particularly in Fujian Province. This form of art is called Chinese cork carving and has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. It is also known as cork sculpture. Cork carving is in fact quite a modern form of art. More than 100 years ago, a New Year’s card made of wood was imported (进口) from Europe to Fuzhou. It gave wood-carving artist Wu Qiqi a new idea. He combined (融合) cork oak (橡树) with traditional Chinese carving techniques in 1914. The art of cork carving has come to be called “a silent poem”. It expresses the beauty of Chinese landscapes. Most cork sculptures picture typical sights from the countryside, such as trees, buildings and wild animals. Each piece of cork art is hard to come by. In order to produce a sculpture, the craftsmen (手艺人) put a lot of effort into choosing the material at the beginning. Cork is not easy to get. Only 10 kilograms of it can be produced from tons of oaks. The actual process of cork carving is also very complicated (复杂的). Because cork is so soft, sculptures cannot be carved by machines. Artists usually use a sharp knife as a pen to carve flowers, trees, pavilions, bridges and boats. Then they make animals such as cranes and peacocks with rice paper. After that they stick all the parts together with white glue. Chinese cork carving is a special art from Fujian. It is modern, beautiful and needs great skill. 36. When was Cork carving invented? A. Less than 100 years ago. B. Over 100 years ago. C. In the 18th century. D. In the 19th century. 37. Why is cork carving called “a silent poem”? A. Because it cannot speak. B. Because it is very complicated. C. Because it hard to get. D. Because it expresses the natural beauty. 38. What does the word “picture” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. photo. B. show. C. draw. D. paint. 39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Cork carving is an ancient form of art with a long history. B. Cork carving is easily made by the craftsmen. C. Cork carving is from a New Year’s card made of wood. D. Cork carving can be made by machines. 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. The introduction of Fuzhou cork carving. B. The story of the wood-carving artist Wu Qiqi. C. The complicated process of cork carving. D. The traditional Chinese carving techniques.
