C Wu BOT: When Kung Fu Meets Robots The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala featured a hugely popular program called “Wu BOT”. In the show, humanoid robots perform traditional Chinese kung fu alongside young martial artists, making it one of the most talked-about performances of this year’s gala. The robots are designed and produced by Unitree (宇树) Technology, a leading Chinese robotics company. These Unitree G1 robots perform difficult movements, including drunken boxing, nunchakus (双节棍) and parkour (跑酷). They cooperate on stage with students from Tagou Martial Arts School, one of China’s best-known traditional kung fu schools. With high-precision (高精度的) control and stable motion design, the robots move smoothly and work naturally with human performers. The performance shows clear progress in just one year. In the 2025 gala, they could only perform simple group dances, but they were not able to do difficult kung fu moves. This year, however, they completed complex kung fu movements easily. This change shows the rapid development of robot motion control and group cooperation technology. “Wu BOT” is more than just an entertaining stage act. It combines traditional Chinese culture and modern technology in a creative way, helping young students understand kung fu from a new perspective. It also shows the public the latest developments in China’s humanoid robots. In the future, such technologies may be widely used in fields like education, public services and daily life. 31.

How to develop robot motion control technology. 32. What does the underlined word “humanoid” probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. Looking like a human. B. Moving very quickly. C. Costing much money. D. Working automatically. 33. Why could the robots move smoothly on stage according to Paragraph 2? A. Because they learned from famous martial artists. B. Because they practiced for a long time. C. Because they have high-precision control and stable motion design. D. Because they are simple in design. 34. What progress did the robots make in a year? A. They could work with foreign performers. B. They could create new kinds of kung fu moves. C. They changed into different kinds of robots. D. They could complete difficult and complex kung fu movements. 35. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To show the meaning and future use of the program. B. To advise readers to pay more attention to kung fu. C. To tell people to widely use robots in daily life. D. To introduce China’s education and public services. D From time to time, you may suffer from being overwhelmed (被压垮的). You may feel disappointed, sad, hurt or even helpless. 36. ________ Here is some advice to help you. Know your feelings. It can be hard sometimes to find the right words to express what you’re feeling. The Feelings Wheel can help. 37. ________ Recognise your primary feeling in the middle of the wheel, and then see what other feelings this connects with as you look outwards from the center. This can help you get clear what you’re feeling. Accept what you feel. It is okay to feel lonely; it is okay to feel nervous; and it is okay to feel as if the world is going to end. 38. ________ There’s nothing wrong with you feeling this way. Many of us do too, at different points in our lives. Make a list. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed when you have too many things to do. Perhaps there is too much to study, or you may have a long to-do list when organizing a birthday party. 39. ________ Then, list the tasks in order of importance or urgency (紧迫性). You will feel calmer when you finish the list — you would have control over the tasks and yourself!
