Slate’s Music Club 2025
2025 was a year when music refused to stay in its lane — Latin rhythms stormed the charts, rock revived in the most unexpected forms, and global voices rose with unprecedented (史无前例的) force.
Slate’s Music Club gathered a group of critics (评论家) to discuss the year’s music, the cultural trends that drove the musical spirit, as well as our favorite albums and singles. Let’s get to know our participants, all of whom joined the Slate’s Music Club. They are Julianne, Finzi, Lindsay, and Christ. Each of them has their own favorite albums in 2025.
Beautiful Place
It is a really lovely combination of sort of deadpan spoken word poetry with exciting guitar sounds and all sorts of electronics going on. It is just kind of speaking to something in Lindsay’s heart about the overwhelm of the modern condition.
Getting Killed
Finzi’s favorite album of the year is by a young New York band called Geese. Their album is called Getting Killed. It is probably one of the most exciting rock records you have heard in years. It is strange and interesting and compulsively (禁不住地) listenable.
Country
Julianne’s favorite album is Cleo Reed’s Country. It is a really epic (宏大的) folk album about the state of work in the U.S. from the perspective of a hopeful black person living in New York. Her other album pick is Lido Pimienta’s La Belleza. It is a symphonic journey through Afro-Colombian rhythms with a Medellin Philharmonic.
Debi Tirar Mas Fotos
Christ’s favorite is Bad Bunny’s Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, which is emerging as the possible favorite at the Grammys, let alone the subject of a forthcoming Super Bowl halftime show. This album is the most-streamed in the world and has been ever since it came out in January.

Zhang Xue is a key figure in China’s motorcycle industry. He founded ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand that made history in 2026 by winning two straight races at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal. His journey is a true underdog story.
Born in 1987 in a poor mountain village in Hunan Province, Zhang dropped out of school at 14 and worked as a repair shop apprentice (学徒). He learned engines by taking them apart with his own hands. At 19, eager to prove himself, he went after a TV crew’s car for over 100 kilometers through pouring rain on a broken motorcycle. The crew laughed at him, but his courage earned him a spot on TV. That led to a job as a rider and mechanic.
Realizing he started racing too late to become a champion rider, Zhang changed his goal, “If I cannot ride the fastest bike, I will build one.” In 2013, he arrived in Chongqing with only 20,000 yuan (about 2,900 USD), bought parts, and built his first bike. In 2017 he co-founded Kove Moto, which grew into a major brand. But in 2024, after parting ways with Kove, he started ZXMOTO — his own company, named after his name.
Zhang’s years of devotion (专心) to motorcycle engineering has finally borne fruit. In March 2026, French rider Valentin Debise rode the ZXMOTO 820RR-RS to two straight wins at WSBK, beating Ducati and Yamaha by nearly four seconds — the first ever race wins for a Chinese manufacturer. Watching from the sidelines, Zhang was moved to tears.
Today, ZXMOTO is valued at over one billion yuan. Zhang once said, “The world had no impression of Chinese motorcycles. Now they will remember us.” His story — from a motorcycle apprentice to a pioneer of Chinese motorsports — proves that passion and persistence can move mountains.
4. What achievement has Zhang Xue made?
A. He created the most popular motorcycle. B. He became the first rider to beat Ducati.
C. He built the world’s cheapest motorcycle. D. He led a Chinese brand to win WSBK races.
5. What was Zhang’s original goal?
A. To set up a top motorbike brand. B. To build the fastest motorbike.
C. To work as a motorbike apprentice. D. To become a top motorbike rider.
6. Which can best describe Zhang Xue?
A. Courageous and determined. B. Creative and generous.
C. Cautious and careful. D. Ambitious and outgoing.
7. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Zhang’s devotion to his career. B. The reward for Zhang’s efforts.
C. The performance of the motorbike. D. Valentin’s performance in the race.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】

Each year, more than 1.2 billion smartphones are produced globally. The production of electronic devices (设备) uses a lot of energy and takes valuable natural resources. Meanwhile, devices are aging faster than ever — users replace their still-functional phones on average every 2 to 3 years. Although the most sustainable (可持续的) solution would be to change people’s behavior and consider more carefully whether their new model truly needs replacing, this is easier said than done.
Creativity often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old. According to a research team, old smartphones can be successfully repurposed into tiny data centers, which have a wide range of applications. For example, they could be used in city environments like bus stops to track the number of passengers in real time, while guarding personal information. This would provide valuable decision-making guidance for city officials to improve public transportation networks.
In another project, the researchers took out the phones’ batteries and replaced them with outside power sources. Then, they put four phones together, added 3D-printed covers and holders, and made a working model. The model was then tested underwater, where it surveilled sea life: Normally, these kinds of tasks require a swimmer to record video and bring it to the surface for researchers to review. But with the model, the whole process was done underwater without human help.
Different devices have different hardware abilities and setups, which makes it hard to reuse electronic waste widely. To solve this, software systems that can work with different devices are needed, no matter their power or resources. These systems need to give each device the right amount of work based on its abilities so that no device slows down the process.
The team’s results show that outdated technology doesn’t have to end up as waste. With fresh and wonderful ideas, these devices can contribute to the development of more environmentally friendly digital solutions. “Sustainability is not just about protecting the future — it’s about reimagining the present, where yesterday’s devices become tomorrow’s opportunities,” said Ulrich Norbisrath, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering.
8. What is the major problem about electronic devices?
A. Resource waste. B. Repair difficulties. C. Slow performance. D. Costly advertising.
9. What does the underlined word “surveilled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Easily saved. B. Clearly guided. C. Closely observed. D. Carefully avoided.
10. What is important to reuse electronic waste widely?
A. Error-fixing ability. B. Large storage space.
C. Effective energy use. D. Adaptive workload.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The bright future of digital solutions. B. The challenges of dealing with e-waste.
C. The significance of reusing old devices. D. The ways of improving software systems.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了科研团队通过创新思路改造废旧智能手机,将其二次利用,印证老旧电子产品不必沦为电子垃圾,废旧设备再利用助力环保可持续发展。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The production of electronic devices (设备) uses a lot of energy and takes valuable natural resources. Meanwhile, devices are aging faster than ever — users replace their still-functional phones on average every 2 to 3 years.(电子产品的生产需要耗费大量能源,还会消耗宝贵的自然资源。与此同时,电子产品的淘汰更新速度空前加快 —— 用户平均每两到三年就会更换尚能正常使用的手机)”可知,电子产品面临的主要难题是资源浪费。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。画线词“surveilled”在第三段,结合其后的“Normally, these kinds of tasks require a swimmer to record video and bring it to the surface for researchers to review.(通常情况下,这类作业需要潜水员录制视频并将其带回水面,供研究人员查看)”可知,改造后的手机在水下用来近距离观测海洋生物,surveilled含有“密切观察”之意。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“These systems need to give each device the right amount of work based on its abilities so that no device slows down the process.(这些系统需要依据各设备的性能为其分配适量任务,避免单个设备拖慢整体运行流程)”可知,合理适配工作量是大范围再利用电子废弃物的关键。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。最后一段中的“The team’s results show that outdated technology doesn’t have to end up as waste. With fresh and wonderful ideas, these devices can contribute to the development of more environmentally friendly digital solutions.(该团队的研究结果表明,老旧技术并非最终只能沦为废弃物。依托新颖出色的创意,这类设备能够助力研发更多环保型数字化解决方案)”是本段主旨句,可知本段核心是废旧设备再利用的价值与意义。

Every year, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, millions of Chinese families gather to celebrate the Lantern Festival. They light lanterns, eat sweet rice dumplings, and solve riddles written on lanterns. But beyond the joy and delicious food, the festival carries a deeper meaning that has evolved over centuries.
The Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Historically, it was a time when people prayed for good harvests and family unity. In ancient China, young people were not free to go out on most days, but on this night, they were allowed to walk the streets, lighting lanterns and meeting others. For this reason, the festival was sometimes called “Chinese Valentine’s Day”.
However, like many traditional festivals, the Lantern Festival has changed in modern times. Today, many young Chinese celebrate it by watching lantern shows on social media rather than going out. Some cities have replaced traditional paper lanterns with electric ones for safety reasons. The practice of solving riddles has also moved online, with people competing in mobile apps instead of gathering in town squares.
These changes have raised questions among cultural historians. Some worry that the festival is losing its original meaning. “When traditions are simplified or digitized, the social bonds they create weaken,” says Professor Li Wei, a folk culture expert. “The Lantern Festival was never just about lanterns. It was about people coming together.” Yet others see the changes as a natural part of cultural evolution. “No culture stays the same forever,” argues historian Zhang Mei. “The fact that young people still care about the Lantern Festival, even if they celebrate it on their phones, shows that the tradition is alive.” She points out that new technologies can actually help spread traditional culture to a wider audience.
Despite the debate, one thing remains clear: the Lantern Festival continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Chinese people. Whether it is celebrated with paper lanterns on a crowded street or through a screen at home, the spirit of reunion and hope for a bright future remains unchanged.
12. What was one historical function of the Lantern Festival mentioned in the passage?
A. It marked the beginning of the harvest season. B. It gave young people a rare chance to go out.
C. It was a time for family members to travel. D. It served as a competition for lantern makers.
13. How do many young Chinese celebrate the Lantern Festival today according to the passage?
A. By traveling to their hometowns. B. By making sweet rice dumplings at home.
C. By watching lantern shows on social media. D. By lighting paper lanterns in town squares.
14. What is Zhang Mei’s attitude toward the modern way of celebrating the festival?
A. Worried. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Lantern Festival: A Tradition in Change
B. How to Celebrate the Lantern Festival Online
C. The History of Chinese Valentine’s Day
D. Why Young People No Longer Like Traditional Festivals
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了元宵节的意义、历史、现代变化及不同人对这些变化的看法。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Today, many young Chinese celebrate it by watching lantern shows on social media rather than going out.(如今,许多中国年轻人通过在社交媒体上看灯笼展来庆祝元宵节,而不是外出)”可知,现在许多中国年轻人通过在社交媒体上看灯笼展来庆祝元宵节。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““When traditions are simplified or digitized, the social bonds they create weaken,” says Professor Li Wei, a folk culture expert.(民俗文化专家李伟教授表示:“当传统被简化或数字化时,它们所建立的社会纽带就会变得薄弱。”)”可知,李伟教授担心现代庆祝方式会削弱节日所创造的社会纽带。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第三段中“However, like many traditional festivals, the Lantern Festival has changed in modern times.(然而,和许多传统节日一样,元宵节在现代也发生了诸多变化)”可知,文章介绍元宵节传统内涵、现代习俗变化以及学者的不同看法,核心是变迁中的元宵节传统。故A选项“元宵节:一个在变化的传统”符合文章标题。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you think of jogging, you probably imagine people running at a steady, energetic pace. ____16____ This practice is known as “slow jogging”.
____17____ The reason is clear: it solves a common problem that many runners push too hard and end up getting hurt. After decades of research, scientists have found running at a conversational pace is ideal. This pace provides health benefits while carrying a lower risk of injury. In other words, you get all the rewards of running without wearing down your body. That is exactly where slow jogging shows its biggest advantage.
The technique itself is surprisingly simple. You run at about 2-4 kilometers per hour, which is actually slower than many people walk. The key skill is to land on the middle of your foot rather than your heel. ____18____ This significantly reduces the impact on your knees and joints, making the movement gentle on the body.
The health benefits go far beyond injury prevention. Studies show that slow jogging for 30 minutes a day, five times a week, can improve heart health, lung function, and even help with weight control. ____19____
Perhaps the best part is how easy it is to get started. You don’t need any special equipment or a gym membership. Just put on comfortable shoes and head outside. ____20____ Just you and the road. So next time you see someone moving at what looks like a very relaxed run, don’t laugh. They might just be onto something big.
A. Just focus on your own steps and breath.
B. Slow jogging has gained worldwide popularity.
C. No detailed plans, no pressure to hit a certain speed.
D. Before starting slow jogging, you need to do warm-up exercises.
E. But you may not have heard of running at a snail’s pace on purpose.
F. Because it’s gentle, it suits everyone — regardless of age or fitness level.
G. Remember to use short, quick steps so your feet barely leave the ground.
【答案】16. E 17. B 18. G 19. F 20. C

第二节(满分25分)
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。
On a sunny afternoon, a young boy named Liam stood on a busy street corner selling packets of tissues. His clothes were simple, and his worn-out shoes had a small hole near the toe.
Just then, a smooth, black car stopped near him. A kind-looking man, Tom, rolled down the window and asked, “How much for the tissues, young man?” “One dollar each, sir,” Liam replied politely. “I’ll take them all,” Tom said with a warm smile. He handed Liam a ten-dollar bill and drove away with the tissues. Liam’s eyes widened with joy. “Thank you, sir!” he shouted, holding the money tightly.
Feeling excited, Liam decided to buy something he wanted most: a pair of new shoes. The ones he wore were too small and hurt his feet every day. He hurried to a shoe store he had passed many times. Through the big window, he saw a perfect pair of brown shoes. They looked strong and comfortable. But the price tag said $100. Liam stopped. He leaned closer to the glass, staring at the shoes.
Tom happened to drive past the store again and noticed Liam standing by the window. He slowed down. From a distance, Tom saw the shopkeeper step out and speak gently to Liam. Then Tom saw the sadness on Liam’s face. Though Liam said nothing, Tom noticed how Liam’s fingers tightened around the ten-dollar bill and how his eyes returned to the brown shoes.
At that sight, memories rose uninvited. Tom remembered his own childhood — the days of worn shoes and the shame he once felt when help came in the wrong way. But Tom also remembered one moment clearly: a stranger had helped him, saying only, “Keep going. You’ll earn your way forward.”
Standing there, Tom finally understood. The boy did not need pity but the same respect he himself had once been given. It was at that moment that Tom made up his mind.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tom entered the shoe store and went straight to the shopkeeper.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After paying ten dollars, Liam opened the shoe box, finding a card inside.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Tom entered the shoe store and went straight to the shopkeeper. Lowering his voice, Tom asked the shopkeeper to mark the brown shoes as on sale for ten dollars, making it a special offer for Liam, and he said that he would pay the rest. The shopkeeper was moved by Tom’s kindness. Then Tom gently placed a small note inside the box before stepping out. Soon, Liam, standing outside, noticed the new price through the window. Curious and hopeful, he saw the shopkeeper nod toward the display. Holding his ten-dollar bill tightly, he walked into the store happily.
After paying ten dollars, Liam opened the shoe box, finding a card inside. As he read, “Keep going. You’ll earn your way forward,” a wave of understanding washed over him. He realized the shoes had been made affordable on purpose, and that someone had quietly respected his dignity. His eyes softened, and he felt both surprised and grateful. No one stood nearby, yet the boy understood the care behind the action. Holding the card carefully, Liam put on the shoes, feeling stronger and ready to walk confidently into the future.
【解析】
【导语】本文以 “一双新鞋” 为线索展开,讲述了小男孩Liam在街上卖纸巾赚取微薄收入,渴望买一双新鞋却因价格昂贵而失望,善良的Tom目睹这一幕后,回忆起自己的童年,决定以尊重Liam尊严的方式帮助他,既不让他感到被怜悯,又能圆他的心愿的故事,凸显了善意与尊重的力量。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句内容 “Tom走进鞋店,径直走向店主。” 可知,第一段可描写Tom与店主沟通的细节,他如何巧妙地提出将鞋子价格调整为10美元,并主动支付差价,同时悄悄留下纸条,既帮助Liam又维护他的尊严,以及Liam看到降价后走进鞋店的喜悦。
② 由第二段首句内容“付了10美元后,Liam打开鞋盒,发现里面有一张卡片。” 可知,第二段可描写Liam看到卡片后的反应,读懂了背后的善意与尊重,内心的感激与触动,以及新鞋带给她的力量与对未来的信心。
2. 续写线索:Tom进店沟通——调整鞋价,支付差价——留下纸条——Liam看到降价进店——付款开箱——发现卡片——读懂善意——感悟成长

Slate’s Music Club 2025
2025 was a year when music refused to stay in its lane — Latin rhythms stormed the charts, rock revived in the most unexpected forms, and global voices rose with unprecedented (史无前例的) force.
Slate’s Music Club gathered a group of critics (评论家) to discuss the year’s music, the cultural trends that drove the musical spirit, as well as our favorite albums and singles. Let’s get to know our participants, all of whom joined the Slate’s Music Club. They are Julianne, Finzi, Lindsay, and Christ. Each of them has their own favorite albums in 2025.
Beautiful Place
It is a really lovely combination of sort of deadpan spoken word poetry with exciting guitar sounds and all sorts of electronics going on. It is just kind of speaking to something in Lindsay’s heart about the overwhelm of the modern condition.
Getting Killed
Finzi’s favorite album of the year is by a young New York band called Geese. Their album is called Getting Killed. It is probably one of the most exciting rock records you have heard in years. It is strange and interesting and compulsively (禁不住地) listenable.
Country
Julianne’s favorite album is Cleo Reed’s Country. It is a really epic (宏大的) folk album about the state of work in the U.S. from the perspective of a hopeful black person living in New York. Her other album pick is Lido Pimienta’s La Belleza. It is a symphonic journey through Afro-Colombian rhythms with a Medellin Philharmonic.
Debi Tirar Mas Fotos
Christ’s favorite is Bad Bunny’s Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, which is emerging as the possible favorite at the Grammys, let alone the subject of a forthcoming Super Bowl halftime show. This album is the most-streamed in the world and has been ever since it came out in January.
1. Which album might be attractive to rock-lovers?
A. Beautiful Place. B. Getting Killed.
C. La Belleza. D. Debi Tirar Mas Fotos.
2. What can be known about Julianne’s favorite album?
A. It was published by a black singer. B. It has gained popularity in New York.
C. It talks about American work situations. D. It was issued together with La Belleza.

A. To introduce several music critics. B. To advertise a popular music club.
C. To explain the development of global music. D. To recommend some favorite albums of 2025.

Zhang Xue is a key figure in China’s motorcycle industry. He founded ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand that made history in 2026 by winning two straight races at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal. His journey is a true underdog story.
Born in 1987 in a poor mountain village in Hunan Province, Zhang dropped out of school at 14 and worked as a repair shop apprentice (学徒). He learned engines by taking them apart with his own hands. At 19, eager to prove himself, he went after a TV crew’s car for over 100 kilometers through pouring rain on a broken motorcycle. The crew laughed at him, but his courage earned him a spot on TV. That led to a job as a rider and mechanic.
Realizing he started racing too late to become a champion rider, Zhang changed his goal, “If I cannot ride the fastest bike, I will build one.” In 2013, he arrived in Chongqing with only 20,000 yuan (about 2,900 USD), bought parts, and built his first bike. In 2017 he co-founded Kove Moto, which grew into a major brand. But in 2024, after parting ways with Kove, he started ZXMOTO — his own company, named after his name.
Zhang’s years of devotion (专心) to motorcycle engineering has finally borne fruit. In March 2026, French rider Valentin Debise rode the ZXMOTO 820RR-RS to two straight wins at WSBK, beating Ducati and Yamaha by nearly four seconds — the first ever race wins for a Chinese manufacturer. Watching from the sidelines, Zhang was moved to tears.
Today, ZXMOTO is valued at over one billion yuan. Zhang once said, “The world had no impression of Chinese motorcycles. Now they will remember us.” His story — from a motorcycle apprentice to a pioneer of Chinese motorsports — proves that passion and persistence can move mountains.
4. What achievement has Zhang Xue made?
A. He created the most popular motorcycle. B. He became the first rider to beat Ducati.
C. He built the world’s cheapest motorcycle. D. He led a Chinese brand to win WSBK races.
5. What was Zhang’s original goal?
A. To set up a top motorbike brand. B. To build the fastest motorbike.
C. To work as a motorbike apprentice. D. To become a top motorbike rider.
6. Which can best describe Zhang Xue?
A. Courageous and determined. B. Creative and generous.
C. Cautious and careful. D. Ambitious and outgoing.
7. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Zhang’s devotion to his career. B. The reward for Zhang’s efforts.
C. The performance of the motorbike. D. Valentin’s performance in the race.
C
Each year, more than 1.2 billion smartphones are produced globally. The production of electronic devices (设备) uses a lot of energy and takes valuable natural resources. Meanwhile, devices are aging faster than ever — users replace their still-functional phones on average every 2 to 3 years. Although the most sustainable (可持续的) solution would be to change people’s behavior and consider more carefully whether their new model truly needs replacing, this is easier said than done.
Creativity often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old. According to a research team, old smartphones can be successfully repurposed into tiny data centers, which have a wide range of applications. For example, they could be used in city environments like bus stops to track the number of passengers in real time, while guarding personal information. This would provide valuable decision-making guidance for city officials to improve public transportation networks.
In another project, the researchers took out the phones’ batteries and replaced them with outside power sources. Then, they put four phones together, added 3D-printed covers and holders, and made a working model. The model was then tested underwater, where it surveilled sea life: Normally, these kinds of tasks require a swimmer to record video and bring it to the surface for researchers to review. But with the model, the whole process was done underwater without human help.
Different devices have different hardware abilities and setups, which makes it hard to reuse electronic waste widely. To solve this, software systems that can work with different devices are needed, no matter their power or resources. These systems need to give each device the right amount of work based on its abilities so that no device slows down the process.
The team’s results show that outdated technology doesn’t have to end up as waste. With fresh and wonderful ideas, these devices can contribute to the development of more environmentally friendly digital solutions. “Sustainability is not just about protecting the future — it’s about reimagining the present, where yesterday’s devices become tomorrow’s opportunities,” said Ulrich Norbisrath, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering.
8. What is the major problem about electronic devices?
A. Resource waste. B. Repair difficulties. C. Slow performance. D. Costly advertising.
9. What does the underlined word “surveilled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Easily saved. B. Clearly guided. C. Closely observed. D. Carefully avoided.
10. What is important to reuse electronic waste widely?
A. Error-fixing ability. B. Large storage space.
C. Effective energy use. D. Adaptive workload.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The bright future of digital solutions. B. The challenges of dealing with e-waste.
C. The significance of reusing old devices. D. The ways of improving software systems.
D
Every year, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, millions of Chinese families gather to celebrate the Lantern Festival. They light lanterns, eat sweet rice dumplings, and solve riddles written on lanterns. But beyond the joy and delicious food, the festival carries a deeper meaning that has evolved over centuries.
The Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Historically, it was a time when people prayed for good harvests and family unity. In ancient China, young people were not free to go out on most days, but on this night, they were allowed to walk the streets, lighting lanterns and meeting others. For this reason, the festival was sometimes called “Chinese Valentine’s Day”.
However, like many traditional festivals, the Lantern Festival has changed in modern times. Today, many young Chinese celebrate it by watching lantern shows on social media rather than going out. Some cities have replaced traditional paper lanterns with electric ones for safety reasons. The practice of solving riddles has also moved online, with people competing in mobile apps instead of gathering in town squares.
These changes have raised questions among cultural historians. Some worry that the festival is losing its original meaning. “When traditions are simplified or digitized, the social bonds they create weaken,” says Professor Li Wei, a folk culture expert. “The Lantern Festival was never just about lanterns. It was about people coming together.” Yet others see the changes as a natural part of cultural evolution. “No culture stays the same forever,” argues historian Zhang Mei. “The fact that young people still care about the Lantern Festival, even if they celebrate it on their phones, shows that the tradition is alive.” She points out that new technologies can actually help spread traditional culture to a wider audience.
Despite the debate, one thing remains clear: the Lantern Festival continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Chinese people. Whether it is celebrated with paper lanterns on a crowded street or through a screen at home, the spirit of reunion and hope for a bright future remains unchanged.
12. What was one historical function of the Lantern Festival mentioned in the passage?

When you think of jogging, you probably imagine people running at a steady, energetic pace. ____16____ This practice is known as “slow jogging”.
____17____ The reason is clear: it solves a common problem that many runners push too hard and end up getting hurt. After decades of research, scientists have found running at a conversational pace is ideal. This pace provides health benefits while carrying a lower risk of injury. In other words, you get all the rewards of running without wearing down your body. That is exactly where slow jogging shows its biggest advantage.
The technique itself is surprisingly simple. You run at about 2-4 kilometers per hour, which is actually slower than many people walk. The key skill is to land on the middle of your foot rather than your heel. ____18____ This significantly reduces the impact on your knees and joints, making the movement gentle on the body.
The health benefits go far beyond injury prevention. Studies show that slow jogging for 30 minutes a day, five times a week, can improve heart health, lung function, and even help with weight control. ____19____
Perhaps the best part is how easy it is to get started. You don’t need any special equipment or a gym membership. Just put on comfortable shoes and head outside. ____20____ Just you and the road. So next time you see someone moving at what looks like a very relaxed run, don’t laugh. They might just be onto something big.
A. Just focus on your own steps and breath.
B. Slow jogging has gained worldwide popularity.
C. No detailed plans, no pressure to hit a certain speed.
D. Before starting slow jogging, you need to do warm-up exercises.
E. But you may not have heard of running at a snail’s pace on purpose.
F. Because it’s gentle, it suits everyone — regardless of age or fitness level.
G. Remember to use short, quick steps so your feet barely leave the ground.

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。
On a sunny afternoon, a young boy named Liam stood on a busy street corner selling packets of tissues. His clothes were simple, and his worn-out shoes had a small hole near the toe.
Just then, a smooth, black car stopped near him. A kind-looking man, Tom, rolled down the window and asked, “How much for the tissues, young man?” “One dollar each, sir,” Liam replied politely. “I’ll take them all,” Tom said with a warm smile. He handed Liam a ten-dollar bill and drove away with the tissues. Liam’s eyes widened with joy. “Thank you, sir!” he shouted, holding the money tightly.
Feeling excited, Liam decided to buy something he wanted most: a pair of new shoes. The ones he wore were too small and hurt his feet every day. He hurried to a shoe store he had passed many times. Through the big window, he saw a perfect pair of brown shoes. They looked strong and comfortable. But the price tag said $100. Liam stopped. He leaned closer to the glass, staring at the shoes.
Tom happened to drive past the store again and noticed Liam standing by the window. He slowed down. From a distance, Tom saw the shopkeeper step out and speak gently to Liam. Then Tom saw the sadness on Liam’s face. Though Liam said nothing, Tom noticed how Liam’s fingers tightened around the ten-dollar bill and how his eyes returned to the brown shoes.
At that sight, memories rose uninvited. Tom remembered his own childhood — the days of worn shoes and the shame he once felt when help came in the wrong way. But Tom also remembered one moment clearly: a stranger had helped him, saying only, “Keep going. You’ll earn your way forward.”
Standing there, Tom finally understood. The boy did not need pity but the same respect he himself had once been given. It was at that moment that Tom made up his mind.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tom entered the shoe store and went straight to the shopkeeper.

After paying ten dollars, Liam opened the shoe box, finding a card inside.
