Sara Kays, a 22-year-old girl, is a rising star on online video-sharing platforms. She not only uses TikTok to promote her music, but also posts songs to get feedback (反馈) from her followers.
“It’s been cool to engage with people that way,” said Kays, who has been using online platforms to realize her music dream. Now, she is famous on TikTok with about 1.3 million followers. She released (发布) her song Remember That Night? in November 2020. The post blew up, getting almost three million views in a matter of days.
Kays has loved singing since she was young. At 11, she got a guitar from her mother and then started to sing while playing. Gradually, people started asking her to play at restaurants and she also started to post some live videos on YouTube, gaining her more and more followers. At 17, Kays turned to songwriting to help her deal with the confusion (困惑) in life and serve as an outlet for her thoughts and feelings.
“I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to release songs and that all these people are listening to them online,” said Kays. “It’s been amazing.”
Different from other content creators who update their content frequently, Kays updates on a weekly basis and only posts videos about her songs and related stories, such as singing, playing the guitar or ukulele, shooting music videos. Her videos are always simple, and the recording process is pretty simple too: she edits the vocals and video in her room.
Now, Kays has signed with a music company. In Kays’ eyes, people like her songs and videos because she writes about life experiences and emotions of the youth. “I just sing and share my feelings about divorced parents, body image, loneliness and mental health,” said Kays. “I want more people to know they’re not alone with the struggles in their lives.”

In 2026, digital technology is deeply integrated into all aspects of social life, and Chinese traditional festivals are embracing digital innovation while keeping their traditional core connotation. This new change not only makes festival celebrations more convenient and diverse, but also attracts more young people to pay attention to and inherit traditional festival culture.
First, digital technology breaks the geographical limitations of festival reunions. For young people who work and study in other cities, “cloud reunion” has become a popular way to celebrate festivals in 2026. They can have video calls with their families, watch the Spring Festival Gala online together, and even share the New Year’s Eve dinner through live broadcast. This digital form relieves the homesickness of people who cannot return home, and also keeps the warmth of family reunion.
Second, digital technology enriches the forms of traditional festival customs. The traditional custom of sending red envelopes has evolved into digital red envelopes, which can be sent with just a click on mobile payment platforms. Lantern riddles solving, a classic custom of the Lantern Festival, is moved to online platforms, where people can guess riddles anytime and anywhere and get small electronic prizes. Folk performances such as dragon dance and shadow puppetry are also live-streamed on short video platforms, allowing millions of people to watch and appreciate them for free.
Third, digital technology promotes the international spread of traditional festival culture. Many cultural and museum institutions have launched online international exhibitions of Chinese traditional festivals in 2026, introducing the origin, customs and cultural connotation of festivals to foreign friends through 3D technology and multilingual short videos. A large number of young Chinese people also create short videos of traditional festival celebrations and post them on international social media, making Chinese festival culture known to more people around the world.
It is important to note that digital innovation is only a tool to enrich festival forms, and the core of traditional festivals such as family affection, unity and gratitude will never change. The integration of digital technology and traditional festivals makes Chinese festival culture more vibrant in the new era.
8. What is the popular way for young people in other cities to celebrate festivals in 2026?
A. Holding small parties with colleagues.
B. Traveling to scenic spots alone.
C. Having “cloud reunion” with families via digital technology.
D. Participating in local folk festival activities.
9. Which of the following is a digital innovation form of traditional festival customs?
A. Making hand-written Spring Festival couplets.
B. Sending digital red envelopes via mobile payment platforms.
C. Making traditional zongzi with family members.
D. Watching dragon dance performances on the spot.
10. How does digital technology promote the international spread of Chinese festival culture?
A. By holding large-scale offline folk performances in foreign countries.
B. By launching online international festivals exhibitions with digital technology.
C. By organizing Chinese people to celebrate traditional festivals abroad.
D. By selling traditional festival handcrafts to foreign tourists.
11. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The history and traditional customs of Chinese traditional festivals.
B. The influence of digital technology on people’s daily life in 2026.
C. The integration of digital technology and Chinese traditional festivals in 2026.
D. The differences between traditional and digital festival celebrations.

Have you ever savored the convenience of takeout? In today’s fast-paced world, busy students and professionals increasingly rely on delivered meals packed in plastic containers — quick fixes for lunch breaks or late-night cravings.
However, a new Chinese study reveals that frequent use of plastic takeout containers may elevate congestive heart failure risk by affecting gut (肠道) bacteria and causing inflammation (炎症). The research combines human population analysis and animal experiments to investigate how plastic chemicals impact heart health.
The study used two main steps to explore the link between plastic containers and heart disease. First, researchers checked the plastic takeout container use of over 3,000 people in China and compared it to their heart health records. They found that people who frequently used plastic containers had a higher risk of heart failure. Next, they tested this connection on rats. Scientists prepared water by boiling it in plastic containers for 1, 5, or 15 minutes to imitate real-life situation like making hot drinks. When plastic is heated, it gives off tiny harmful particles — previous studies found microwaved plastic containers can give off millions of these particles per square centimeter. The rats drank this contaminated water for months. By examining the rats’ waste, the researchers discovered changes in gut bacteria and increased chemicals related to inflammation and damage to rats’ heart tissues. Surprisingly, heating the containers for 1 minute or 15 minutes caused no difference in harm severity.
While the study didn’t identify exactly which chemicals in plastic caused the problems, it highlighted known harmful substances like BPA, which are common in food packaging and linked to cancer and other health issues. This research emphasizes the dangers of heated plastic and its potential impact on heart health.
This study adds urgency to reducing plastic food contact. Public health experts recommend avoiding microwaving plastics, using glass or stainless-steel alternatives, and transferring takeout to non-plastic containers. Though individual avoidance remains challenging, the findings highlight systemic needs for safer food packaging policies. With over 20,000 chemicals in plastics — many untested for long-term effects, researchers call for stricter industry regulations to protect circulatory health.
12. Why does the author mention the takeout at the beginning?
A. To describe a phenomenon.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show the benefits of takeout.
D. To promote a kind of life style.
13. According to the research findings, which is NOT related to heart failure risks?
A. The length of plastic’s heating time.
B. The frequency of exposure to plastic.
C. The materials of the containers.
D. The temperature of the plastic containers.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Additional evidence for the research results.
B. Practical guidance of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A potential limitation of the research process.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the study?
A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.

I remember the first time I met Roy. He was telling a joke. When he reached the final line, everyone burst out laughing. “A popular boy.” I thought to myself. My name is Daniel. I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later, Roy and I were still in the same class. But just a year ago Roy’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance. Roy changed completely. He started losing friends, including me.
About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom. I went inside to get it and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet and I knew it wasn’t his. Roy went bright red. “I will put it back right now,” he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week, our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about £500. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there were about £500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there, holding the notes in my hand. And that moment, Roy walked in.

Sara Kays, a 22-year-old girl, is a rising star on online video-sharing platforms. She not only uses TikTok to promote her music, but also posts songs to get feedback (反馈) from her followers.
“It’s been cool to engage with people that way,” said Kays, who has been using online platforms to realize her music dream. Now, she is famous on TikTok with about 1.3 million followers. She released (发布) her song Remember That Night? in November 2020. The post blew up, getting almost three million views in a matter of days.

In 2026, digital technology is deeply integrated into all aspects of social life, and Chinese traditional festivals are embracing digital innovation while keeping their traditional core connotation. This new change not only makes festival celebrations more convenient and diverse, but also attracts more young people to pay attention to and inherit traditional festival culture.
First, digital technology breaks the geographical limitations of festival reunions. For young people who work and study in other cities, “cloud reunion” has become a popular way to celebrate festivals in 2026. They can have video calls with their families, watch the Spring Festival Gala online together, and even share the New Year’s Eve dinner through live broadcast. This digital form relieves the homesickness of people who cannot return home, and also keeps the warmth of family reunion.
Second, digital technology enriches the forms of traditional festival customs. The traditional custom of sending red envelopes has evolved into digital red envelopes, which can be sent with just a click on mobile payment platforms. Lantern riddles solving, a classic custom of the Lantern Festival, is moved to online platforms, where people can guess riddles anytime and anywhere and get small electronic prizes. Folk performances such as dragon dance and shadow puppetry are also live-streamed on short video platforms, allowing millions of people to watch and appreciate them for free.
Third, digital technology promotes the international spread of traditional festival culture. Many cultural and museum institutions have launched online international exhibitions of Chinese traditional festivals in 2026, introducing the origin, customs and cultural connotation of festivals to foreign friends through 3D technology and multilingual short videos. A large number of young Chinese people also create short videos of traditional festival celebrations and post them on international social media, making Chinese festival culture known to more people around the world.
It is important to note that digital innovation is only a tool to enrich festival forms, and the core of traditional festivals such as family affection, unity and gratitude will never change. The integration of digital technology and traditional festivals makes Chinese festival culture more vibrant in the new era.

Have you ever savored the convenience of takeout? In today’s fast-paced world, busy students and professionals increasingly rely on delivered meals packed in plastic containers — quick fixes for lunch breaks or late-night cravings.
However, a new Chinese study reveals that frequent use of plastic takeout containers may elevate congestive heart failure risk by affecting gut (肠道) bacteria and causing inflammation (炎症). The research combines human population analysis and animal experiments to investigate how plastic chemicals impact heart health.
The study used two main steps to explore the link between plastic containers and heart disease. First, researchers checked the plastic takeout container use of over 3,000 people in China and compared it to their heart health records. They found that people who frequently used plastic containers had a higher risk of heart failure. Next, they tested this connection on rats. Scientists prepared water by boiling it in plastic containers for 1, 5, or 15 minutes to imitate real-life situation like making hot drinks. When plastic is heated, it gives off tiny harmful particles — previous studies found microwaved plastic containers can give off millions of these particles per square centimeter. The rats drank this contaminated water for months. By examining the rats’ waste, the researchers discovered changes in gut bacteria and increased chemicals related to inflammation and damage to rats’ heart tissues. Surprisingly, heating the containers for 1 minute or 15 minutes caused no difference in harm severity.
While the study didn’t identify exactly which chemicals in plastic caused the problems, it highlighted known harmful substances like BPA, which are common in food packaging and linked to cancer and other health issues. This research emphasizes the dangers of heated plastic and its potential impact on heart health.
This study adds urgency to reducing plastic food contact. Public health experts recommend avoiding microwaving plastics, using glass or stainless-steel alternatives, and transferring takeout to non-plastic containers. Though individual avoidance remains challenging, the findings highlight systemic needs for safer food packaging policies. With over 20,000 chemicals in plastics — many untested for long-term effects, researchers call for stricter industry regulations to protect circulatory health.
12. Why does the author mention the takeout at the beginning?
A. To describe a phenomenon.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show the benefits of takeout.
D. To promote a kind of life style.
13. According to the research findings, which is NOT related to heart failure risks?
A. The length of plastic’s heating time.
B. The frequency of exposure to plastic.
C. The materials of the containers.
D. The temperature of the plastic containers.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Additional evidence for the research results.
B. Practical guidance of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A potential limitation of the research process.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the study?
A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever savored the convenience of takeout? In today’s fast-paced world, busy students and professionals increasingly rely on delivered meals packed in plastic containers — quick fixes for lunch breaks or late-night cravings.(你是否感受过外卖带来的便利?在节奏飞快的当下,忙碌的学生和职场人士越来越依赖塑料餐盒盛装的外卖,用来快速解决午餐或深夜加餐需求。)”以及第二段“However, a new Chinese study reveals that frequent use of plastic takeout containers may elevate congestive heart failure risk by affecting gut (肠道) bacteria and causing inflammation (炎症).(然而中国一项新研究表明,频繁使用塑料外卖餐盒会影响肠道菌群、引发炎症,进而提升充血性心力衰竭的患病风险。)”可知,作者开篇描述外卖普遍使用塑料餐盒的社会现象,目的是引出本文核心话题:塑料外卖盒对心脏健康的危害。

【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Public health experts recommend avoiding microwaving plastics, using glass or stainless-steel alternatives, and transferring takeout to non-plastic containers. Though individual avoidance remains challenging, the findings highlight systemic needs for safer food packaging policies. With over 20,000 chemicals in plastics — many untested for long-term effects, researchers call for stricter industry regulations to protect circulatory health.(公共卫生专家建议:不要用微波炉加热塑料制品,改用玻璃或不锈钢容器,同时将外卖食物转移至非塑料材质的器皿中存放。尽管普通人很难完全杜绝塑料的使用,但相关研究结果凸显出,我们亟需出台系统化、更安全的食品包装相关政策。塑料中含有两万多种化学物质,其中多数物质的长期健康影响尚未经过检测,研究人员因此呼吁出台更严格的行业规范,以保护人体循环系统健康。)”可知,本段主要给出基于该研究结果的实用应对建议与行业政策指引。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“This research emphasizes the dangers of heated plastic and its potential impact on heart health.(该研究点明了加热塑料制品的危害以及它对心脏健康的潜在负面影响。)”和最后一段“This study adds urgency to reducing plastic food contact.(这项研究让减少食品接触塑料的行动变得更为紧迫。)”可知,作者客观陈述研究结论,认可该研究的价值,对此持支持态度。

I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later, Roy and I were still in the same class. But just a year ago Roy’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance. Roy changed completely. He started losing friends, including me.
About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom. I went inside to get it and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet and I knew it wasn’t his. Roy went bright red. “I will put it back right now,” he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week, our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about £500. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there were about £500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there, holding the notes in my hand. And that moment, Roy walked in.
