After nearly a century’s wait, Chinese architect, preservationist and poet Lin Huiyin, who passed away in 1955, was awarded a posthumous Bachelor of Architecture degree by the University of Pennsylvania in May 2024.
Lin was among the first Chinese students to study at Penn. She came in 1924 and chose to pursue a degree in fine arts because the university’s architecture program, which she was deeply passionate about, didn’t open its doors to female students until 1934. Back then, there were concerns about women’s ability to work late nights and conduct fieldwork. But Lin finished most of the coursework required for the architecture degree anyway. She completed her studies with outstanding grades and often performed better than her male classmates, but she was still deprived (剥夺) of the architecture diploma.
After graduating from Penn, Lin returned to China and worked to preserve ancient architectural treasures. Along with her husband Liang Sicheng, she devoted herself to documenting old structures for many years. This led to her discovery of the main hall of the Foguang Temple in Shanxi in 1937. She also helped design China’s national emblem (国徽) and the Monument to the People’s Heroes. Her efforts continue to inspire generations of people in China and beyond.
Awarding Lin a degree in architecture is a great step towards addressing historical injustice faced by women. Fritz Steiner, dean of Penn’s Weitzman School of Design, says that excluding Lin and other female students of her time from the architecture program “was not right.” “All the men from China received full scholarships and Lin got half of one. She was the only woman and the only student who wasn’t allowed to get an architecture degree,” says Steiner. “But she earned that degree.” In this move, the university is taking the right step in recognizing the achievements of its female alumni.
Meanwhile, the diploma serves as a reminder that Lin was a distinguished architect. At present, she is better known for her poems and her romantic stories. There is the belief that Lin came to Penn because she wanted to accompany her future husband. Records, however, show that Lin was occupied with her own studies since she needed to graduate in three years.
Social norms (准则) of the early 20th century restricted Lin’s professional pursuits and created biased (有偏见的) perception of her, but she responded by producing extraordinary achievements in school and beyond. Describing her as an architect shows our respect for her determination in this field and her contributions to society. Lin herself wanted to be remembered as an architect, as was carved on her grave: “Architect Lin Huiyin”.
When looking at the lives of Lin and other female professionals, we must keep in mind the challenges they faced throughout their careers accepting their public characterizations, we need to learn and celebrate the ways in which they wished to be defined.
41. What can be inferred from the fact that Lin Huiyin studied at Penn?
A. She did better than her classmates but didn’t get a degree.
B. She studied more courses than she should have and performed well.
C. The university had a strict policy for international students’ duration of study.
D. Her primary goal was to return to China to assist her husband as soon as possible.
42. Lin’s contributions to the national emblem and the monument were mentioned primarily to ________.
A. contrast her practical achievements with her poetic sensibility
B. highlight the collaborative nature of her work with her husband
C. provide concrete evidence of her architectural capabilities and impact
D. demonstrate the superiority of her later work over her academic records
43. What can be inferred from Fritz Steiner’s comments about Lin Huiyin?
A. Lin’s academic performance justified her qualification for her degree.
B. The university has been slow to correct its past discriminatory practices.
C. Lin received more financial support than other Chinese students at Penn.
D. Female students at Penn now receive equal opportunities in architecture.
44. Regarding the historical bias against women, the author’s attitude towards the University of Pennsylvania’s recent action can best be described as ________.
A. cautious comments on its symbolic value in correcting a past wrong
B. strong criticism for its delay and the inadequacy of the gesture
C. unbiased analysis of its procedural fairness and institutional motives
D. wholehearted approval for finally establishing historical truth
45. What broader insight can be most probably developed from Lin Huiyin’s story?
A. Defining a person often involves challenging social norms of one’s era.
B. Personal relationships often overshadowed women’s professional achievements.
C. Architectural education was exceptionally restrictive for women in the past.
D. Symbolic gestures are the primary way to address historical academic injustices.

The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala featured a breathtaking performance that seamlessly blended traditional Chinese martial arts with cutting-edge technology: a carefully designed martial arts routine performed by humanoid robots. This was not merely entertainment for the audience; it was a powerful declaration of China’s rapid and impressive advancements in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.
Compared to their debut just a year earlier, the 2026 robots demonstrated astonishing progress in every aspect. Gone were the stiff, awkward and hesitant movements of the past. Dozens of Unitree’s G1 humanoid robots perfectly carried out complex and skillful actions, including high-speed flips, synchronized (同步的) nunchaku swings, and even the delicate, unsteady steps of “Drunken Fist.” They maintained stable balance, performed flawless formations, and interacted safely with young human martial artists, a breakthrough that reflected huge leaps in both stability and dynamic motion control.
Behind the striking performance lies a convergence of advanced technologies that together make such precise movements possible. Powered by highly developed AI control systems and equipped with LiDAR (激光雷达) sensors, the robots can map the 3D stage environment in real time, enabling them to recognize their positions accurately and adjust their movements instantly to stay perfectly synchronized. Their flexible jumps and flips rely on powerful actuators (执行器) and massive professional training data, proving that machines can now attain a level of athleticism once considered unique to humans.
The meaning of the display goes far beyond artistic effect. As a milestone in intelligent manufacturing, the show underlines China’s growing competitiveness in the global humanoid robot industry. While Chinese companies take a major share of the world market, the gala performance more importantly shows the nation’s strong ability to combine AI technology with a complete supply chain. It suggests a future where robots, having mastered the precision of kung fu, will undertake complex tasks in industry and daily life, turning technological strength into practical social value.
46. What was the most significant improvement in the 2026 robot performance compared to the previous year?
A. The robots performed hesitant movements on a larger stage.
B. The robots moved more smoothly and performed complex actions.
C. The robots were controlled by young human performers.
D. The robots could speak and interact with the martial audience.
47. The underlined word “convergence” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _________.
A. combination B. competition C. conflict D. creativity
48. How did the robots maintain perfect synchronization during the performance?
A. They followed fixed routes without any adjustment.
B. They were remotely controlled by engineers behind the stage.
C. They used sensors to map the stage and adjust movements in real time.
D. They responded to voice commands from human performers.
49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The performance was meant to show robots are better than humans at martial arts.
B. China has led the world in all fields of intelligent manufacturing.
C. Human performers will gradually disappear from traditional cultural galas.
D. The performance stood for China’s progress in AI and manufacturing integration.
50. According to the passage, what future role are these robots expected to play?

In an era dominated by digital streams, my appreciation deepens for physical diaries — handwritten on paper — as a vital guard against the widespread influence of AI. Human thoughts and expressions risk being abused, processed by algorithms (算法) that lack insights. AI models often greedily swallow artists’ and writers’ works to fuel their systems, putting almost all online content under threat. The physical nature of diaries forms a crucial defense. If we hope to preserve the real human voice from chatbots and refuse to let our writing train AI, a pen and a simple notebook may be our strongest tools.
Diaries are uniquely suited to capturing individual lives and imaginations. The very essence of a diary is temporary, meant to catch life’s short-lived moments. This is a task chatbots cannot perform, because they lack genuine perception, thought, or tender human senses. A diary serves as a secure space for one’s deepest feelings and reflections on the world, a form of thinking irreplaceable by AI. Its physical form offers a screen-free shelter for mindfulness, fostering a deeper connection with one’s thoughts.
The power of handwritten diaries also lies in their resistance to digital erosion. Unlike mobile phones that limit prospects and lock users out of their own minds, a physical diary does not fog brains, numb fingers, or profit from personal data. It remains a personal possession, beyond the reach of AI companies seeking training data. The act of writing by hand enhances memory and emotional expression, creating a physical record of one’s life journey. This non-digital activity offers a deliberate break from the restless digital pace, offering a routine of self-care and a bridge between the past, present and future.
Throughout history, diaries have served as lasting records against powerful structures. Our collective memory would be poorer without Anne Frank’s messages or the diary that begins George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four”. Diarists form a universal underground, using pen and paper to resist the threats of the digital world. They protect not just privacy but the very integrity of personal stories from algorithm-based control of information and data mining.
Ultimately, the humble diary is more than a record; it is an act of protection. In the quiet conversation between pen and paper, we safeguard the human voice— imperfect, personal, and free from the tide of artificial intelligence.
What role does the physical diary play in the digital world?
51. What role does the physical diary play in the digital world?
A. A tech-free space for deeper self-reflection. B. A tool to quickly generate more information.
C. An opportunity to defend passed-down heritage. D. An instruction on how to embrace new technology.
52. What advantage does handwriting have over mobile phones to keep diaries?
A. It bears significant health and social benefits. B. It allows for much faster data input and output.
C. It raises much awareness of self, time and space. D. It involves both mental and emotional responses.
53. How does the fourth paragraph contribute to the passage’s argument?
A. By suggesting potentials in economy and reputation.
B. By listing supporting and typical examples in history.
C. By summarizing previously discussed perspectives.
D. By analyzing from the view of diary enthusiasts.
54. What can be inferred about those who keep diaries?
A. They are strongly opposed to technological progress.
B. They believe AI will wipe out diaries sooner or later.
C. They value privacy and sincerity over convenience.
D. They write mainly for public recognition and fame.
55. What is the author’s attitude towards physical diaries?

阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands. Unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I opened it quickly. It was a brand-new laptop. I had scored straight As for my O-level examinations and this was my reward. I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about “chat rooms”, “instant messaging” and “emailing”, all of which I knew nothing about. Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough. I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site. Soon I became glued to my new-found electronic friend. I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became enslaved by Facebook and Twitter. I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be so focused on the glowing screen before me.
As time passed, I realized that I was hooked on the Internet. During weekends, when I had more time on my hands, I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room, refusing to come out and take part in family discussions. I preferred to stay connected to the people I befriended in online space although I had never met them. Soon, my sleep was reduced to only scattered (分散的) naps, and my grades at school also began getting worse.
It was about this time that my parents started voicing their disapproval. It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internet. I was asked to reduce my usage of the internet. Yet, however hard I tried, I was unable to pull myself away, unable to terminate (终止) my chat sessions, and unable to concentrate on my lessons. I was desperate for just another click and another look at my message board. Then one day, my father took away my laptop. I complained but in vain.
Over time, I realized that Dad and Mom had always wanted the best for me. That was when I decided to take the big step — to conquer my internet addiction. Quitting was harder than I expected. But with dogged determination, I knew that I would turn over a new leaf.
56. What reward did the author get for scoring straight As in the O-level examinations? (no more than 8 words)

In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic and the loud music from nearby bars.

After nearly a century’s wait, Chinese architect, preservationist and poet Lin Huiyin, who passed away in 1955, was awarded a posthumous Bachelor of Architecture degree by the University of Pennsylvania in May 2024.
Lin was among the first Chinese students to study at Penn. She came in 1924 and chose to pursue a degree in fine arts because the university’s architecture program, which she was deeply passionate about, didn’t open its doors to female students until 1934. Back then, there were concerns about women’s ability to work late nights and conduct fieldwork. But Lin finished most of the coursework required for the architecture degree anyway. She completed her studies with outstanding grades and often performed better than her male classmates, but she was still deprived (剥夺) of the architecture diploma.
After graduating from Penn, Lin returned to China and worked to preserve ancient architectural treasures. Along with her husband Liang Sicheng, she devoted herself to documenting old structures for many years. This led to her discovery of the main hall of the Foguang Temple in Shanxi in 1937. She also helped design China’s national emblem (国徽) and the Monument to the People’s Heroes. Her efforts continue to inspire generations of people in China and beyond.
Awarding Lin a degree in architecture is a great step towards addressing historical injustice faced by women. Fritz Steiner, dean of Penn’s Weitzman School of Design, says that excluding Lin and other female students of her time from the architecture program “was not right.” “All the men from China received full scholarships and Lin got half of one. She was the only woman and the only student who wasn’t allowed to get an architecture degree,” says Steiner. “But she earned that degree.” In this move, the university is taking the right step in recognizing the achievements of its female alumni.
Meanwhile, the diploma serves as a reminder that Lin was a distinguished architect. At present, she is better known for her poems and her romantic stories. There is the belief that Lin came to Penn because she wanted to accompany her future husband. Records, however, show that Lin was occupied with her own studies since she needed to graduate in three years.
Social norms (准则) of the early 20th century restricted Lin’s professional pursuits and created biased (有偏见的) perception of her, but she responded by producing extraordinary achievements in school and beyond. Describing her as an architect shows our respect for her determination in this field and her contributions to society. Lin herself wanted to be remembered as an architect, as was carved on her grave: “Architect Lin Huiyin”.
When looking at the lives of Lin and other female professionals, we must keep in mind the challenges they faced throughout their careers accepting their public characterizations, we need to learn and celebrate the ways in which they wished to be defined.
41. What can be inferred from the fact that Lin Huiyin studied at Penn?
A. She did better than her classmates but didn’t get a degree.
B. She studied more courses than she should have and performed well.
C. The university had a strict policy for international students’ duration of study.
D. Her primary goal was to return to China to assist her husband as soon as possible.
42. Lin’s contributions to the national emblem and the monument were mentioned primarily to ________.
A. contrast her practical achievements with her poetic sensibility
B. highlight the collaborative nature of her work with her husband
C. provide concrete evidence of her architectural capabilities and impact
D. demonstrate the superiority of her later work over her academic records
43. What can be inferred from Fritz Steiner’s comments about Lin Huiyin?
A. Lin’s academic performance justified her qualification for her degree.
B. The university has been slow to correct its past discriminatory practices.
C. Lin received more financial support than other Chinese students at Penn.
D. Female students at Penn now receive equal opportunities in architecture.
44. Regarding the historical bias against women, the author’s attitude towards the University of Pennsylvania’s recent action can best be described as ________.
A. cautious comments on its symbolic value in correcting a past wrong
B. strong criticism for its delay and the inadequacy of the gesture
C. unbiased analysis of its procedural fairness and institutional motives
D. wholehearted approval for finally establishing historical truth
45. What broader insight can be most probably developed from Lin Huiyin’s story?
A. Defining a person often involves challenging social norms of one’s era.
B. Personal relationships often overshadowed women’s professional achievements.
C. Architectural education was exceptionally restrictive for women in the past.
D. Symbolic gestures are the primary way to address historical academic injustices.
C
The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala featured a breathtaking performance that seamlessly blended traditional Chinese martial arts with cutting-edge technology: a carefully designed martial arts routine performed by humanoid robots. This was not merely entertainment for the audience; it was a powerful declaration of China’s rapid and impressive advancements in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.
Compared to their debut just a year earlier, the 2026 robots demonstrated astonishing progress in every aspect. Gone were the stiff, awkward and hesitant movements of the past. Dozens of Unitree’s G1 humanoid robots perfectly carried out complex and skillful actions, including high-speed flips, synchronized (同步的) nunchaku swings, and even the delicate, unsteady steps of “Drunken Fist.” They maintained stable balance, performed flawless formations, and interacted safely with young human martial artists, a breakthrough that reflected huge leaps in both stability and dynamic motion control.
Behind the striking performance lies a convergence of advanced technologies that together make such precise movements possible. Powered by highly developed AI control systems and equipped with LiDAR (激光雷达) sensors, the robots can map the 3D stage environment in real time, enabling them to recognize their positions accurately and adjust their movements instantly to stay perfectly synchronized. Their flexible jumps and flips rely on powerful actuators (执行器) and massive professional training data, proving that machines can now attain a level of athleticism once considered unique to humans.
The meaning of the display goes far beyond artistic effect. As a milestone in intelligent manufacturing, the show underlines China’s growing competitiveness in the global humanoid robot industry. While Chinese companies take a major share of the world market, the gala performance more importantly shows the nation’s strong ability to combine AI technology with a complete supply chain. It suggests a future where robots, having mastered the precision of kung fu, will undertake complex tasks in industry and daily life, turning technological strength into practical social value.
46. What was the most significant improvement in the 2026 robot performance compared to the previous year?
A. The robots performed hesitant movements on a larger stage.
B. The robots moved more smoothly and performed complex actions.
C. The robots were controlled by young human performers.
D. The robots could speak and interact with the martial audience.
47. The underlined word “convergence” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _________.
A. combination B. competition C. conflict D. creativity
48. How did the robots maintain perfect synchronization during the performance?
A. They followed fixed routes without any adjustment.
B. They were remotely controlled by engineers behind the stage.
C. They used sensors to map the stage and adjust movements in real time.
D. They responded to voice commands from human performers.
49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The performance was meant to show robots are better than humans at martial arts.
B. China has led the world in all fields of intelligent manufacturing.
C. Human performers will gradually disappear from traditional cultural galas.
D. The performance stood for China’s progress in AI and manufacturing integration.
50. According to the passage, what future role are these robots expected to play?
A. Replacing all human workers in factories.
B. Performing only in entertainment shows.
C. Taking on complex tasks in industry and daily life.
D. Competing in international martial arts competitions.
D
In an era dominated by digital streams, my appreciation deepens for physical diaries — handwritten on paper — as a vital guard against the widespread influence of AI. Human thoughts and expressions risk being abused, processed by algorithms (算法) that lack insights. AI models often greedily swallow artists’ and writers’ works to fuel their systems, putting almost all online content under threat. The physical nature of diaries forms a crucial defense. If we hope to preserve the real human voice from chatbots and refuse to let our writing train AI, a pen and a simple notebook may be our strongest tools.
Diaries are uniquely suited to capturing individual lives and imaginations. The very essence of a diary is temporary, meant to catch life’s short-lived moments. This is a task chatbots cannot perform, because they lack genuine perception, thought, or tender human senses. A diary serves as a secure space for one’s deepest feelings and reflections on the world, a form of thinking irreplaceable by AI. Its physical form offers a screen-free shelter for mindfulness, fostering a deeper connection with one’s thoughts.
The power of handwritten diaries also lies in their resistance to digital erosion. Unlike mobile phones that limit prospects and lock users out of their own minds, a physical diary does not fog brains, numb fingers, or profit from personal data. It remains a personal possession, beyond the reach of AI companies seeking training data. The act of writing by hand enhances memory and emotional expression, creating a physical record of one’s life journey. This non-digital activity offers a deliberate break from the restless digital pace, offering a routine of self-care and a bridge between the past, present and future.
Throughout history, diaries have served as lasting records against powerful structures. Our collective memory would be poorer without Anne Frank’s messages or the diary that begins George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four”. Diarists form a universal underground, using pen and paper to resist the threats of the digital world. They protect not just privacy but the very integrity of personal stories from algorithm-based control of information and data mining.
Ultimately, the humble diary is more than a record; it is an act of protection. In the quiet conversation between pen and paper, we safeguard the human voice— imperfect, personal, and free from the tide of artificial intelligence.
What role does the physical diary play in the digital world?
51. What role does the physical diary play in the digital world?
A. A tech-free space for deeper self-reflection. B. A tool to quickly generate more information.
C. An opportunity to defend passed-down heritage. D. An instruction on how to embrace new technology.
52. What advantage does handwriting have over mobile phones to keep diaries?
A. It bears significant health and social benefits. B. It allows for much faster data input and output.
C. It raises much awareness of self, time and space. D. It involves both mental and emotional responses.
53. How does the fourth paragraph contribute to the passage’s argument?
A. By suggesting potentials in economy and reputation.
B. By listing supporting and typical examples in history.
C. By summarizing previously discussed perspectives.
D. By analyzing from the view of diary enthusiasts.
54. What can be inferred about those who keep diaries?
A. They are strongly opposed to technological progress.
B. They believe AI will wipe out diaries sooner or later.
C. They value privacy and sincerity over convenience.
D. They write mainly for public recognition and fame.
55. What is the author’s attitude towards physical diaries?
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.

阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands. Unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I opened it quickly. It was a brand-new laptop. I had scored straight As for my O-level examinations and this was my reward. I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about “chat rooms”, “instant messaging” and “emailing”, all of which I knew nothing about. Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough. I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site. Soon I became glued to my new-found electronic friend. I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became enslaved by Facebook and Twitter. I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be so focused on the glowing screen before me.
As time passed, I realized that I was hooked on the Internet. During weekends, when I had more time on my hands, I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room, refusing to come out and take part in family discussions. I preferred to stay connected to the people I befriended in online space although I had never met them. Soon, my sleep was reduced to only scattered (分散的) naps, and my grades at school also began getting worse.
It was about this time that my parents started voicing their disapproval. It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internet. I was asked to reduce my usage of the internet. Yet, however hard I tried, I was unable to pull myself away, unable to terminate (终止) my chat sessions, and unable to concentrate on my lessons. I was desperate for just another click and another look at my message board. Then one day, my father took away my laptop. I complained but in vain.
Over time, I realized that Dad and Mom had always wanted the best for me. That was when I decided to take the big step — to conquer my internet addiction. Quitting was harder than I expected. But with dogged determination, I knew that I would turn over a new leaf.
56. What reward did the author get for scoring straight As in the O-level examinations? (no more than 8 words)
