For example, it has set up a training centre 4 the youth to learn horse-riding. Surprisingly, many young people are 5 to join it. There, some experienced riders teach them how to ride 6 and safely. This year, 30 riders took part in the event. More than 60% of them were born after 1995, and the 7 rider is only 24 years old. Dong Jinxiang, a truck driver, was the lead rider. Wearing ancient clothes, he took over the role of “messenger” from 51-year-old Dong Huping.

On social media, many young people in the West share videos of 1 learning to live the Chinese lifestyle. It often includes 2 Chinese self-care habits. For example, common practices include starting the day with warm tea instead of iced coffee to protect the 3 , and wearing soft indoor slippers(拖鞋) to keep away from “han qi”. In the past, people thought these healthy habits were only for the 4 . In China, it’s called “Yang Sheng”—taking care of your health for a long and 5 life. But now, many young foreign people are trying it. Why? The reasons are simple. Young people want a healthier lifestyle, and China is becoming 6 on the world stage. The Global Times noted that the wisdom(智慧) behind Chinese lifestyles helps people deal with today’s stressful 7 . The “becoming Chinese” trend shows that in a fast-changing world, Chinese lifestyles can bring order, inclusiveness(包容), and inner calm. This trend also shows China’s growing 8 soft power. From Labubu toys to Mixue milk tea, Chinese products are becoming part of global youth culture. When people use Chinese tech, get used to Chinese 9 , and follow Chinese trends, “becoming Chinese” changes from a joke into a real love for the Chinese way of life. This trend brings people from different countries together. US tech magazine Wired 10 this trend part of a bigger story. “Chinese technology and products have been important in Western life for many years.

It used to be one of the worst diseases in history that caused millions of 1 . However, few people mention it nowadays. Why? This happened 2 because of the work of Edward Jenner, an English doctor and scientist. Jenner didn’t have an easy childhood. His parents died when he was 5, and his gentle 3 brother, who was 22 at that time, raised him. It was difficult for Jenner to do well in school, but he was 4 in medicine and nature. At 21, he went to study at a hospital in London, where he got a lot of basic 5 about treatment. After he finished his studies, Jenner went back to his home in the countryside because he liked it more. There, he became a family doctor. In his free time, he 6 to do research and study nature. It was while working as a doctor that Jenner discovered that 7 all milkmaids—women who milk cows—seldom got smallpox. They often got cowpox, a disease like smallpox, but these milkmaids didn’t get very sick and they didn’t die. Jenner 8 : Do milkmaids get protected from smallpox just because they often get cowpox? 9 this hypothesis(假设), Jenner first tried giving some people cowpox, then giving them smallpox. And he discovered that cowpox could actually help protect people from getting smallpox. It was wonderful that, because of Jenner’s 10 , smallpox is not around anymore, and people no longer(不再) die from it. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 短文填空（五） care communication complete disabled easy help however I similarly surprise train walk For the blind, guide dogs are important life partners. But not everyone can get one. In China, there are just over 400 1 guide dogs for more than 17 million blind people. Luckily, blind people may soon have a new 2 — a six-legged robot guide dog. “With six legs, the robot dog has no difficulty 3 anywhere. It can go upstairs and downstairs just like a real dog.” says Gao Feng, the head of the research team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. “With cameras and AI technologies, the robot dog is able 4 with people too.” Gao also points out that training real guide dogs is expensive. 5 , with the development of China’s robots, it’s possible to make the robot dog in large numbers at a low price. Some blind volunteers have already tested the robot. Li Fei, a 41-year-old woman, says she feels 6 by how helpful it is. “Unlike real guide dogs, a robot guide dog never needs a rest or food. It can understand my requests and even talk to me. Its help may make life much 7 .” Another volunteer called Zhu Sibin says, “I will probably buy the robot guide dog when it becomes available. Then I’ll do a lot of things 8 .” Robot guide dogs can provide help not only for the blind, but also for people with some other 9 , such as the people using wheelchairs. “We can’t say robot dogs will 10 change these people’s lives, but they will play an important role in making the world a better place.” Gao says at last. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 【参考答案】 短文填空（一） 1.foreigner 2.decision 3.relaxed 4.has lived 5.stronger 6.happily 7.locals 8.himself 9.recommendation 10.unusual 短文填空（二） 1.customs 2.has become 3.alive 4.to inspire 5.willing 6.correctly 7.youngest 8.visitors 9.cultural 10.pride 短文填空（三） 1.themselves 2.traditional 3.stomach 4.elderly 5.balanced 6.(more) attractive 7.society 8.cultural 9.manners 10.considered 短文填空（四） 1.deaths 2.mainly 3.elder/ older 4.talented 5.knowledge 6.continued 7.nearly 8.wondered 9.To test 10.effort(s) 短文填空（五） 1.trained 2.helper 3.walking 4.to communicate 5.However 6.surprised 7.easier 8.myself 9.disabilities 10.completely 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
