【导语】本文介绍了苗族刺绣的历史、风格及图案寓意。作为一种独特艺术,它记录生活,象征幸福与自然,如今传承发展,越来越受欢迎。
1.句意:所以他们在日常生活中使用刺绣来记录生活。
空后“their daily lives”与上文“no traditional writing forms”形成因果,使用刺绣的目的是记录生活。use sth. to do sth.“使用某物做某事”,应用to record“记录”。record“记录”为原形;records为第三人称单数;recording为动名词,均不符合use sth. to do sth.的固定结构。
2.句意:在它的众多风格中,雷山苗绣非常著名。
空后“many styles”为名词短语,需用形容词性物主代词修饰。its“它的”符合语法功能。it“它”为主格或宾格;itself“它自己”为反身代词;it’s“它是”为it is的缩写,均不能修饰名词。
3.句意:在2006年,它被列为国家级文化遗产。
主语“it”(指代Leishan Miao embroidery)与“list”之间为被动关系,时间状语“In 2006”提示过去,应用一般过去时被动was listed“被列为”。listed为过去分词,不能单独作谓语;lists为主动三单;is listed为现在时被动,均不符。
4.句意:它讲述了一个鸟儿拯救孩子的古老故事,它仍然被展示在孩子的衣服上,以带来健康和好运。
空后“old story”为单数可数名词,且“old”以元音音素/əʊ/开头,需用不定冠词an“一个”。a用于辅音音素前;the表示特指,此处为泛指;/为零冠词,不能修饰单数可数名词。
5.句意:它讲述了一个鸟儿拯救孩子的古老故事,它仍然被展示在孩子的衣服上,以带来健康和好运。
空处与“good luck”并列作动词“bring”的宾语,需用名词health“健康”。healthy“健康的”为形容词;healthier“更健康的”为形容词比较级;healthily“健康地”为副词,均不能作宾语。
6.句意:今天,有超过100种苗绣风格。
空处为there be句型的主谓结构,主语“over 100 styles”为复数,应用are“是”。is用于单数主语;has/have为“有”之意,不能与there同时使用构成there be句型。
7.句意:像凤凰和龙这样的图案是幸福的象征,而“阴阳鱼”和太阳则展示了苗族人民对自然的尊重。
前后分句之间为对比关系,应用while“而”。so“所以”表因果;because“因为”表原因;or“或者”表选择,均不符合对比逻辑。
8.句意:这些图案也表达了他们过上更好生活的希望。
空处位于介词“of”之后,需用动名词形式。live a life“过……的生活”为固定搭配,应用living“过(生活)”。live为原形,不能用于介词后;lives为三单形式;lived为过去式,均不符合。
9.句意:其他刺绣常常展示真实的场景,但是苗绣使用简单的符号与美丽的图案相结合。
空后“embroideries”为复数名词,需用形容词作定语。Other“其他的”符合。Others为代词,不能修饰名词;The others为特指代词;Another“另一个”修饰单数,均不符合。
10.句意:苗绣现在变得更加受欢迎了。
空前“much”修饰比较级,空处与“now”暗示与过去对比,应用比较级more popular“更受欢迎的”。most popular为最高级;more popularly为副词比较级,不能作表语;the most popular为最高级且有冠词,均不符合。

2.句意:每个周六早上,我都会去看望张先生,一位在事故中失去左腿的80岁老人。
此处修饰名词left leg,需用形容词性物主代词,his“他的”符合语境。he是主格,him是宾格,himself是反身代词,均不能修饰名词。
3.句意:他行动不便,所以我帮他购物和打扫卫生。
“have difficulty (in) doing sth.”是固定搭配,意为“做某事有困难”,in可省略,因此此处需填动名词moving。move是动词原形,to move是动词不定式,moved是过去式/过去分词,均不符合固定搭配。
4.句意:我经常花几个小时陪他,听他讲过去的故事。
根据句意,此处表示“花费时间”,主语是人,常用搭配“spend + 时间 + with sb.”,符合语境。took常用于“it takes sb. + 时间 + to do sth.”结构,cost主语是物,paid常用于“pay for”结构,均不符合此处用法。
5.句意:起初,张先生总是不开心。
根据后文“He told me that he could not enjoy life”,可知此处应填表示“不开心的”形容词,unhappy符合语境。happy“开心的”与句意相反,happily是副词,happiness是名词,均不符合句子结构和句意。
6.句意:他告诉我他无法享受生活,因为他所有的老朋友最近都去世了。
此处修饰动词短语passed away,需用副词,recently“最近”符合语境。recent是形容词,unrecent是形容词“不近期的”,recentness是名词,均不能修饰动词。
7.句意:有时我会给他带自制的食物,他就会开心地笑起来。
结合句意,“带自制食物”和“开心地笑”是顺承关系,and用于连接两个并列的动作,符合语境。but表示转折,or表示选择,so表示因果,均不符合逻辑。
8.句意:有一天,我有了一个主意。我邀请张先生去参加一个由当地博物馆组织的艺术展。
此处定语从句修饰art exhibition,主语which指代art exhibition,与谓语动词organize是被动关系,且动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时的被动语态was organized。organizing是现在分词,to organize是动词不定式,organized是过去式/过去分词(主动语态),均不符合被动语境。
9.句意:他甚至主动提出教其他老人画画。
“offer to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为“主动提出做某事”,因此此处需填动词不定式to teach。taught是过去式/过去分词,teaching是动名词/现在分词,teach是动词原形,均不符合固定搭配。
10.句意:通过这次经历,我明白了志愿工作不仅帮助那些有需要的人,也丰富了我自己的生活。
“in need”是固定短语,意为“有需要的”,修饰those(那些人),符合语境。on、at、for均不能与need构成此搭配,不符合句意。

Robert Zubrin, 4 rocket scientist, thinks humans should colonize (殖民) space. He wants to start with Mars 5 he believes a human mission that there will allow us to learn a lot of things, for example, the ability of humans to live 6 a very different environment. At last, we could create new human societies on other planets.
However, not everyone thinks 7 humans into space is a smart idea. Many say it is too expensive. And too much time will also 8 by most space trips. A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take at least six months. People on such long journeys could face many health problems. In addition, the first few people would find life 9 difficult in space. On the Moon’s surface, for example, the sun’s rays are very 10 . People would have to stay indoors most of the time.

It seemed like a magic, but it was actually the work of 400 hungry goats. West Sacramento has used goats 3 tall grass since eight years ago. It had let the goats out 4 weeks before the fire. They ate the dry plants of an area as large as two football fields every day. This created a firebreak, which is an open space with no plants. The fire had nothing to burn, 5 it stopped spreading.
Many cities hire goats to help stop fires. And some cities hire goats to clear invasive (入侵性的) plants, too. Take a look at Riverside Park in New York City. Goats have been “working” there 6 three years and they love the sweet taste of the invasive plants there. A worker from the park said, “We’re 7 to have the goats here. Everyone benefits from it. The goats get to enjoy the park’s invasive plants, the park’s natural environment is improved, and people get to see goats in their local park.”
In Colorado, Lani Malmberg and her son Donny Benz have about 1,200 goats. They have travelled to 17 states to create firebreaks and remove harmful plants. Malmberg has 8 helped start the Goatapelli Foundation. It is 9 organization that teaches people how to work with goats in their own communities. Malmberg believes goats are a great tool for 10 fires. She said, “There is no machine out there that can do what a goat can do.”

I loved them so much that I went on to 4 the original (原作的) novels.
My grandson Connor used to hate reading. He read nothing that wasn’t required by his teachers until I 5 Richie Rich to him. Now, he just cannot 6 reading. He’ll soon start The Great Gatsby—the original book, I mean.
I had childhood friends whose parents thought comic books were too 7 . They were stopped from reading these books, but some of them still became great readers. So, I’m not saying that comic books are 8 for every kid. But for me, they were certainly important. Without them, I probably would have never fallen in love with reading.

It was a rainy Saturday afternoon. While helping my grandpa clean the attic, I discovered a dusty wooden box. “What’s this, Grandpa?” I asked.
He smiled and opened it 1 . “These are my sketchbooks (速写本) from when I was your age,” he said.
Inside were 2 filled with wonderful pencil drawings—portraits of people, sketches of birds, and views of our neighbourhood. Each one looked alive, full of feeling and light. I had always thought of Grandpa as just a retired postman, but here was proof he was also an artist!
“I didn’t know you could draw!” I said 3 .
“I loved art when I was young,” he explained. “But I needed a job to support my family. Still, I never 4 seeing the world like an artist.”
He taught me to look closely at things—to 5 how light falls on surfaces and how shadows change throughout the day. “Most people just look,” he said, “but artists really see.”
That afternoon, Grandpa showed me how to draw a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table. 6 , my lines were messy and the shapes were wrong. But he patiently taught me to measure with my eyes and break objects into basic forms.
“Remember,” he said, “every artist was first a beginner. What matters isn’t creating a perfect picture, but 7 what you see in your own way.
When my parents came to pick me up that evening, I showed them my drawing. Both of them were 8 what I’d learned in one afternoon...
“That’s wonderful!” my mother said. Then she turned to Grandpa. “You should teach an art class at the community centre. Many people would love to learn from you.”
Grandpa looked at his old sketchbooks, then at my 9 face. “You know,” he said, “that might not be a bad idea. Maybe it’s never too late to share your passion with others.”
That rainy day became the most wonderful art lesson I had ever had—not because I learned to draw perfectly, but because I discovered that artists can be 10 , and art can be found in the most unexpected places.

Hello, everyone! I’m glad to share my learning experiences. In the past, I had difficulty in English. I often forgot new words and my pronunciation was poor. I felt upset.
To overcome this, I asked my teacher for help. I made word cards and read aloud every morning. I also practiced speaking with classmates. With their help, my English improved a lot.
From this, I learned that difficulties are not terrible if we face them bravely. Asking for help is the key to success. Thank you!

Shadow puppet plays are known as the pioneer of Chinese animation and have a history of more than one thousand years. They are listed in UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage and have a great effect on the development of modern Chinese animation. Early shadow puppets were made of paper, but later people chose leather to make them, for this material is more long-lasting and easy to color. The puppets are cut into different shapes of humans, animals and things, and some have movable arms, legs and even fingers.
During a performance, puppeteers stand behind a white screen with a light behind it. They hold the puppets close to the screen and move them freely, while speaking the lines for different characters at the same time. The audience can see the clear shadow images and listen to the interesting stories, just like enjoying an animated film. Today, this ancient folk art is in danger of disappearing, so local artists put new parts into the plays, and some use digital lighting to create special visual effects, others mix modern dance moves into traditional performances to draw young people’s attention.
1.What does the underlined word “pioneer” mean in the passage?
A.Someone or something that is the first of its kind.
B.Someone who copies the styles of other art forms.
C.Something that is not important for future development.
D.Something that is only popular among old people.
2.Why did people start to use leather to make shadow puppets later?
A.Because leather is cheaper and easier to find than paper.
B.Because leather can be kept for a long time and colored easily.
C.Because paper is too soft to make movable puppet parts.
D.Because leather can be copied by computers for mass production.
3.What do puppeteers do when performing a shadow puppet play?
A.Sit in front of the screen and watch the audience’s reaction.
B.Draw new puppets while performing the play for the audience.
C.Move the puppets and act as the voices of different characters.
D.Use 3D animation tools to add special effects to the play.
4.What is the reason for local artists adding new elements to shadow puppet plays?
A.To make the traditional art form survive and attract young people.

At the Westonaria agricultural park in South Africa, farm workers are busy planting vegetables. But there’s silence around the park. That’s because most people here are deaf and communicate in sign language. They’re members of the Voiceout Deaf, farming project started by Matebogo Victoria.
Victoria has hearing problems herself, so she understands the challenges deaf people face. While studying at the university, she had to take classes with a hearing partner to help her understand and communicate with her teachers.
Victoria used to work for a bank. After she saw a lot of deaf people staying at home and unemployed (失业的), she hoped to do something to help. “Communication is the biggest challenge in the deaf community,” she said. “There are 44 schools for the deaf across South Africa. Many of the deaf either don’t finish school or don’t have enough money to travel far to go to one of the schools.” After careful consideration, Victoria left her job and started an agricultural business to help deaf people gain farming skills and get jobs matching their skills.
As part of Voiceout Deaf, farmers-in-training work on three different farms. Most of them use sign language, making communication easy. Although each farm is a learning environment, it’s also a workplace and a business. The farmers get paid for their work, and their produce sells very well.
Sibongile Maake is one of the farm workers. “I’m delighted with the work on the farm. I’m working slowly but surely, and I’m learning while making money. I can do things by myself. I am able to pay for things I need,” she said.
1.Why did Victoria start the project?
A.To remind herself that life is hard for the deaf.
B.To enable the deaf to learn farming and get a job.
C.To show that deaf people can plant vegetables.
D.To help the deaf across South Africa to go to school.
2.What is right about Voiceout Deaf?
A.They draw pictures to communicate with others.
B.Farmers work for free in exchange for lessons.
C.It’s just a moving classroom for the deaf people.
D.People like buying what they grow on the farm.
3.What is the correct order of the following events?
①Victoria got a job opportunity at a bank.
②Victoria launched the farming project.
③Victoria studied at university with a partner.
④Victoria noticed deaf people were in great trouble.
A.③→②→④→① B.④→②→③→①
C.④→①→②→③ D.③→①→④→②
4.Which word(s) best describe Victoria?
A.Strict and very careful. B.Easily discouraged.
C.Thoughtful and dedicated. D.Creative and wealthy.
5.Where is this passage most likely to be found?
A.In a travel guide. B.In a farming novel.
C.In a personal diary. D.On a news website.

Are you an open book, your face showing every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University say that wearing your heart on your face, could actually give you a significant social advantage.
The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a researcher at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking differences in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, these expressions appeared as a stable personal quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressions across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months.
The researchers say that facial expressions are connected with personality, with more agreeable persons displaying more lively faces. Facial expressions can also turn into real social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive people are more likely to get a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressions serving an “affiliative (亲和的) function,” or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions.
Expressions are also connected with being seen as more “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who use facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked.
The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, the next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf.
1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on in the study?
A.Its impact. B.Its findings. C.Its limitations. D.Its significance.
2.What may facial expressions serve as in negotiation settings?
A.A way to frighten competitors. B.A method to hide personalities.
C.A tool to show personal quality. D.A strategy to settle disagreement.
3.What does the underlined word “decipher” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.To interpret. B.To overlook. C.To remember. D.To copy.
4.What may the author advise based on the findings of the study?
A.Always wearing a still face. B.Learning to be an open book.
C.Speaking out inner emotions. D.Forcing a smile through tears.

【导语】本文介绍了一项关于面部表情的研究,发现表情丰富、不藏情绪的人在社交中更具优势。
1.第2段主要介绍了研究的对象、观察方式以及核心发现,即面部表情的活跃度是稳定的个人特质,对应选项B“Findings(研究发现)”。
2.文中提到“dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts”,说明面部表情可以作为化解分歧、缓和矛盾的策略,对应选项D。
3.文中提到“a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher”,意思是生动的表情让他人更容易理解一个人的意图和心理状态,因此“decipher”在这里的意思是“解读、理解”,对应选项A “To interpret”。
4.文章结论指出“Being facially expressive is socially advantageous”,并建议人们不要总保持扑克脸,而是要让面部表情反映自己的内心,因此作者会建议我们学会做一本“摊开的书本”,即展现真实的情绪,对应选项B。
The meaning of facial expressions is decided by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture, the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.
A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual. However, many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places, while some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is often used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not try “reading” people from another culture, because we would “read” someone from our own culture. In fact, members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another do, which does not mean they do not experience emotions. For example, in public and in formal situations, many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
Because of personal and cultural differences in the United States, it is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness. In America, people from certain cultural backgrounds seem to be more facially expressive (表情丰富的) than others. Remember not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
1.In which culture is smiling at strangers in public often seen as unusual according to the passage?
A.American culture. B.Southeast Asian culture.
C.Russian culture. D.Vietnamese culture.
2.The underlined word “confusion” most likely means ________.
A.misunderstanding B.understanding
C.clear meaning D.happiness
3.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ________.
A.show friendliness to strangers B.be used to hide true feelings
C.be used in the wrong places D.show personal habits
4.What should we do before trying “reading” people?
A.Find out about their past experience. B.Learn about their relations with others.
C.Understand their cultural backgrounds. D.Figure out what they will do next.
5.What is the main idea of the article?
A.Facial expressions have the same meaning around the world.
B.Smiling always means a person is happy.
C.Americans are more expressive than all other cultures.
D.The meaning of facial expressions depends on cultures, situations, and relationships.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.D
【导语】本文讲述面部表情的含义受情境、人际关系和文化差异影响,不同国家微笑及情感表达习惯不同,不能用自身文化习惯去误判他人表情。

2.后文举例俄美对微笑的看法不一样,容易产生误解,confusion意为“误解、困惑”。
3.第二段“a smile is often used to cover painful feelings”,举越南人讲悲伤故事却以微笑结尾的例子,证明微笑可掩饰真实情绪。
4.第三段说明不能用自己的文化习惯去解读其他文化的人,要先了解他们的文化背景。

It was reported in May 2024 that the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA, 中国野生动物保护协会) will send giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of international conservation partnership. The CWCA has organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo is getting ready to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills related to panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research.
The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation. Over the past twenty years, the two sides have cooperated and solved many technical problems, including important discoveries in key areas like panda raising.
Since the 1990s, China has cooperated on giant panda conservation with 20 countries. “International cooperation in fields such as disease prevention and control, treatment, and wild training and reintroduction to the wild, has achieved good results. Giant pandas will facilitate communication between peoples and let people around the world know China better,” said Li, the leader of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.
“Scientific and educational outreach (延伸服务) also serves as a key role in international giant panda exchanges, allowing more people to understand giant pandas, which provides very good support for our efforts in protecting wild giant pandas,” Li said.

Scientists in Tanzania have trained rats to identify wildlife products being smuggled (走私) out of the country. The rats have learned to recognize the smell of these products and can point them out. The program is still being tested.
It’s really hard to stop the smuggling of wildlife products because smugglers are clever at hiding what they transport. Products can be hidden in secret places or covered with strong smells like coffee. Many of the countries where these animal products come from are so poor that they don’t have enough methods to catch smugglers.
The organization APOPO started the program. It believes that African giant pouched rats* might offer help. They’re the world’s largest rats, up to one metre long and weighing about 1.4 kilograms. They have a strong sense of smell and have been used before to sense diseases and help search for people after earthquakes.
Trainers use food as a reward. First, rats learn to put their noses into holes. Then, they are taught to notice certain smells and pay no attention to other smells. While working, the rats wear special vests (背心). If they find something, they pull a ball to make a sound and let their trainers know.
In the past tests, eight rats successfully learned to identify smuggled animal products among 146 different smells. They could remember these smells for several months. Last year, during a test in Dar es Salaam, the rats found over 83% of the smuggled products, even when people tried to cover up their smells.
These skilled rats will become important helpers in stopping the smuggling of wildlife products, helping protect endangered animals.

Being an astronaut sounds cool, as they can float in zero gravity (重力) and do amazing things in space. However, the weightless environment also brings a lot of trouble. Sadly, astronauts cannot even cry properly to show their feelings.
Although astronauts can produce tears, crying is much more difficult in space. Without gravity, tears do not flow down from the eyes as they do on Earth. Instead, they just stick to the eyes. In 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel had such an experience during a spacewalk. He said his tears just stayed in his eyes and would not fall off.
Tears stuck in the eyes not only make vision unclear but also cause physical pain. On Earth, tears usually comfort the eyes, but in the dry space environment, sudden wetness from tears brings pain instead of comfort. Feustel even said his right eye hurt badly. To solve this problem, astronauts can wipe tears against their helmets. They can also wait until the tears grow big enough to break free and float around.
In fact, many simple daily activities become hard in space. Astronauts cannot talk directly, eat or drink in normal ways. They cannot even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to keep food in their stomach. According to the UK National Space Center, burping in space may even lead to vomiting (呕吐).
We often take these small daily things for granted on Earth, but they become big problems in space. After experiencing all these difficulties, only space explorers can truly understand the importance of gravity and sincerely say, “Gravity, you’re the best.”
1.Why is it difficult for astronauts to cry in space?
A.Because they cannot produce tears at all.
B.Because tears don’t drop from their eyes.
C.Because tears flow downward too quickly.
D.Because the space environment stops sadness.
2.How do astronauts possibly deal with the tears?

Instead of boring grammar worksheets (语法活页练习册), Class 8 students got an exciting task. The task asked them to plan a one-day trip to the City Museum and make a simple English guidebook. Their teacher Mr. Smith called it a “Project-Based Learning” (PBL) challenge. He said it would help them use English in real life.
At first, the students were worried. “How do we start?” asked Chen Yu, who was a quiet student. Mr. Smith smiled, “Work together and find the way yourselves.”
The teacher divided the class into three groups. The research group looked for information about the dinosaur (恐龙) show on the website. The design group drew simple pictures to make the guidebook nice. The language group wrote clear introductions and checked the English many times for foreign visitors.
They had some small problems and argued with each other at first. With Mr. Smith’s help, they learned to talk nicely and make peace finally. When they showed their guidebooks to the museum director, Mr. Li, he was surprised. “These are better than our official (官方的) ones!” he said.
On the trip day, the students bravely introduced the museum to the visitors in English and won a lot of likes. “I used to (过去常常) think English was just words in a book,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “Now I know it’s a useful tool that can help us connect with the world.”

Can you imagine what it is like to lose your ability to see? Everyday tasks like reading a menu, crossing the street, or knowing a friend’s face can become very difficult. But in 2025, a new invention is changing that.
Ally Solos smart glasses are made for people who are blind or cannot see well. These glasses look like a normal pair of glasses, but inside them, there is powerful AI technology. Small cameras are built into the front of the glasses. These cameras can “see” the world just like human eyes. They take pictures of whatever is in front of the user—a restaurant menu, a street sign, or even a person’s face. Then the AI system works quickly to understand what is in those pictures. Finally, the user hears a voice through tiny speakers in the glasses, telling them clearly what is there.
So how do you use these glasses? It is very simple. You just put them on and speak. You can say, “Ally, read this menu,” and the glasses will read the text out loud. If you say, “Who is in front of me?” the glasses will tell the person by saying something like, “A woman with a red jacket and short hair.” You can even ask the glasses to search the web for information. The glasses connect to an app on your phone through Bluetooth.
This invention gives blind people more power to do things by themselves. Without the glasses, they often need a guide dog or another person to help them. With the glasses, they can do many things on their own, such as going to a new place, shopping at a store, or reading a letter from a friend. One user said, “These glasses let me live my life without always asking for help.”
Ally Solos glasses can now be ordered before the official sale. They cost about 399 dollars, which is less than the usual price of 699 dollars. The future of AI glasses is bright, and it is bringing hope to millions of people around the world.
1.What is the main purpose of this article?
A.To sell a pair of smart glasses to the reader.
B.To explain how AI smart glasses help blind people.
C.To compare smart glasses with guide dogs.
D.To tell a story about a person who was blind.
2.According to the article, what do the small cameras on the glasses do?
A.They record videos of the user’s daily life.
B.They send voice messages to the user’s phone.
C.They help the user search for information on the web.
D.They take pictures of things in front of the user.
3.How does the article show that the glasses give users more power to do things by themselves?
A.By sharing a user’s words and giving examples of daily tasks.
B.By explaining how the glasses connect to a phone app.
C.By comparing the glasses to a normal pair of glasses.
D.By listing the price of the glasses and where to buy them.
4.Which of the following is an example of how the glasses can help us?
A.Taking a picture of a bird in the sky.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一款名为Ally Solos的AI智能眼镜,旨在帮助盲人或视力不佳者独立完成日常任务,并说明了其工作原理、使用方法、实际帮助及价格等信息。
1.第一段引出视力丧失的困难,第二段介绍Ally Solos智能眼镜的功能,第三段说明使用方法,第四段强调其给盲人带来的自主性,最后一段补充价格和前景。全文核心是介绍这款AI眼镜如何帮助盲人。
2.第二段明确指出“Small cameras are built into the front of the glasses. … They take pictures of whatever is in front of the user”,因此眼镜上的小摄像头用于拍摄用户面前的事物。

4.第二段提到,眼镜可以拍摄菜单并通过语音读出来“they take pictures of … a restaurant menu … the user hears a voice … telling them clearly what is there”;第三段也举例“‘Ally, read this menu,’ and the glasses will read the text out loud”,因此“朗读餐厅菜单”是文中明确给出的帮助示例。

Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Mum is China’s first ink-wash cartoon movie. It opened a door for the world to learn about Chinese culture and art, so it is of great meaning in Chinese movie history.
At the beginning of the movie, there is a Chinese painting book. Then we can see a pool on the screen and the story happens there. With the music of guqin and pipa, we feel like coming into a wonderful ink-wash painting world.
The idea of making the movie came from a painting of Qi Baishi. In 1959, a director (导演) called Xu Jingda got the idea when he saw Qi’s painting on the basin (盆). “The great painting can be printed on the basin. Why not make it into a movie?” he said.
He and his team then tried to make the first scene (幕) of the movie—the frog jumping. After they made it, they started to make more scenes of different animals. After months of hard work, they finally put all the scenes together and made a short movie. Later, they added more interesting stories to the movie to make it longer.

Have you ever tried to enjoy a painting without looking at it? Or read a guide by using hands? For the blind (盲人), this is their daily challenge. But now, more and more museums in China are trying to help.
Take the Guangdong Museum for example. Last year, it added Braille guides (盲文导览) for blind visitors. These guides have raised dots that can be read by touching. Blind people can now “read” the introduction of each artwork by themselves. The museum also provides audio guides with clear and slow descriptions for visitors who have difficulty seeing.
For deaf visitors, the museum offers sign language videos. These videos explain the history of each exhibit in a way that is easy to follow. Some museums even have special apps on mobile phones. Deaf visitors can scan a QR code and watch a sign language interpreter on their phone screen.
Why do museums do all these? “Culture belongs to everyone and we want everyone to enjoy the beauty of art and history.” said a worker at the museum.
These changes may seem small, but they make a big difference. When everyone can visit a museum freely, the world becomes a little warmer.
1.What did the Guangdong Museum add for blind visitors last year?

5.根据第四段中“Culture belongs to everyone and we want everyone to enjoy the beauty of art and history.”可知,博物馆提供这些特殊服务,是因为他们认为文化属于所有人,希望每个人都能欣赏艺术和历史之美。适当引用原文表述即可。

Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most famous scientists, believed that humans would have to move into space one day to live. “Once we spread out into space and set up independent colonies (定居点), 1 future should be safe,” he said.
Many countries are planning to send astronauts back to the Moon. Some of these countries would like 2 space stations there within the next 10 years. These stations 3 humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets.
Robert Zubrin, 4 rocket scientist, thinks humans should colonize (殖民) space. He wants to start with Mars 5 he believes a human mission that there will allow us to learn a lot of things, for example, the ability of humans to live 6 a very different environment. At last, we could create new human societies on other planets.
However, not everyone thinks 7 humans into space is a smart idea. Many say it is too expensive. And too much time will also 8 by most space trips. A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take at least six months. People on such long journeys could face many health problems. In addition, the first few people would find life 9 difficult in space. On the Moon’s surface, for example, the sun’s rays are very 10 . People would have to stay indoors most of the time.
Although there are many concerns, it seems certain to send people into space. In the future, we might see lunar cities or even new human cultures on other planets.

Three years ago, there was a big wildfire in West Sacramento, California, US. The fire was spreading 1 towards an apartment building. However, before it 2 the building, the fire went out slowly and the building was saved.
It seemed like a magic, but it was actually the work of 400 hungry goats. West Sacramento has used goats 3 tall grass since eight years ago. It had let the goats out 4 weeks before the fire. They ate the dry plants of an area as large as two football fields every day. This created a firebreak, which is an open space with no plants. The fire had nothing to burn, 5 it stopped spreading.
Many cities hire goats to help stop fires. And some cities hire goats to clear invasive (入侵性的) plants, too. Take a look at Riverside Park in New York City. Goats have been “working” there 6 three years and they love the sweet taste of the invasive plants there. A worker from the park said, “We’re 7 to have the goats here. Everyone benefits from it. The goats get to enjoy the park’s invasive plants, the park’s natural environment is improved, and people get to see goats in their local park.”
In Colorado, Lani Malmberg and her son Donny Benz have about 1,200 goats. They have travelled to 17 states to create firebreaks and remove harmful plants. Malmberg has 8 helped start the Goatapelli Foundation. It is 9 organization that teaches people how to work with goats in their own communities. Malmberg believes goats are a great tool for 10 fires. She said, “There is no machine out there that can do what a goat can do.”

Without thinking too much, I jumped off my car and ran towards them. I first called the police, but they were too 4 to come at once. Knowing that it would take the police an hour to drive here, I turned to the 5 for help, hoping people nearby could see my post.

The only thing we could do is to 7 what was happening to the police. Soon, volunteers and fishermen came. Fishermen led all the volunteers to work. Some helped 8 adult dolphins by covering their body with wet towels. Others were pulling smaller dolphins to deeper waters.
However, to everyone’s surprise, these baby dolphins didn’t leave by themselves after they got free. When the tide began to 9 , the baby dolphins swam nearer and made sounds to encourage each other. They waited till the rescue was complete. Then they left together.

It was a rainy Saturday afternoon. While helping my grandpa clean the attic, I discovered a dusty wooden box. “What’s this, Grandpa?” I asked.
He smiled and opened it 1 . “These are my sketchbooks (速写本) from when I was your age,” he said.
Inside were 2 filled with wonderful pencil drawings—portraits of people, sketches of birds, and views of our neighbourhood. Each one looked alive, full of feeling and light. I had always thought of Grandpa as just a retired postman, but here was proof he was also an artist!
“I didn’t know you could draw!” I said 3 .
“I loved art when I was young,” he explained. “But I needed a job to support my family. Still, I never 4 seeing the world like an artist.”
He taught me to look closely at things—to 5 how light falls on surfaces and how shadows change throughout the day. “Most people just look,” he said, “but artists really see.”
That afternoon, Grandpa showed me how to draw a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table. 6 , my lines were messy and the shapes were wrong. But he patiently taught me to measure with my eyes and break objects into basic forms.
“Remember,” he said, “every artist was first a beginner. What matters isn’t creating a perfect picture, but 7 what you see in your own way.
When my parents came to pick me up that evening, I showed them my drawing. Both of them were 8 what I’d learned in one afternoon...
“That’s wonderful!” my mother said. Then she turned to Grandpa. “You should teach an art class at the community centre. Many people would love to learn from you.”
Grandpa looked at his old sketchbooks, then at my 9 face. “You know,” he said, “that might not be a bad idea. Maybe it’s never too late to share your passion with others.”
That rainy day became the most wonderful art lesson I had ever had—not because I learned to draw perfectly, but because I discovered that artists can be 10 , and art can be found in the most unexpected places.

四、阅读理解
Shadow puppet plays are known as the pioneer of Chinese animation and have a history of more than one thousand years. They are listed in UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage and have a great effect on the development of modern Chinese animation. Early shadow puppets were made of paper, but later people chose leather to make them, for this material is more long-lasting and easy to color. The puppets are cut into different shapes of humans, animals and things, and some have movable arms, legs and even fingers.
During a performance, puppeteers stand behind a white screen with a light behind it. They hold the puppets close to the screen and move them freely, while speaking the lines for different characters at the same time. The audience can see the clear shadow images and listen to the interesting stories, just like enjoying an animated film. Today, this ancient folk art is in danger of disappearing, so local artists put new parts into the plays, and some use digital lighting to create special visual effects, others mix modern dance moves into traditional performances to draw young people’s attention.
1.What does the underlined word “pioneer” mean in the passage?
A.Someone or something that is the first of its kind.
B.Someone who copies the styles of other art forms.
C.Something that is not important for future development.
D.Something that is only popular among old people.
2.Why did people start to use leather to make shadow puppets later?
A.Because leather is cheaper and easier to find than paper.
B.Because leather can be kept for a long time and colored easily.
C.Because paper is too soft to make movable puppet parts.
D.Because leather can be copied by computers for mass production.
3.What do puppeteers do when performing a shadow puppet play?
A.Sit in front of the screen and watch the audience’s reaction.
B.Draw new puppets while performing the play for the audience.
C.Move the puppets and act as the voices of different characters.
D.Use 3D animation tools to add special effects to the play.
4.What is the reason for local artists adding new elements to shadow puppet plays?
A.To make the traditional art form survive and attract young people.
B.To make the performance more difficult for the puppeteers.
C.To change the traditional shapes of the shadow puppets completely.
D.To make the time of each shadow puppet play much longer.
At the Westonaria agricultural park in South Africa, farm workers are busy planting vegetables. But there’s silence around the park. That’s because most people here are deaf and communicate in sign language. They’re members of the Voiceout Deaf, farming project started by Matebogo Victoria.
Victoria has hearing problems herself, so she understands the challenges deaf people face. While studying at the university, she had to take classes with a hearing partner to help her understand and communicate with her teachers.
Victoria used to work for a bank. After she saw a lot of deaf people staying at home and unemployed (失业的), she hoped to do something to help. “Communication is the biggest challenge in the deaf community,” she said. “There are 44 schools for the deaf across South Africa. Many of the deaf either don’t finish school or don’t have enough money to travel far to go to one of the schools.” After careful consideration, Victoria left her job and started an agricultural business to help deaf people gain farming skills and get jobs matching their skills.
As part of Voiceout Deaf, farmers-in-training work on three different farms. Most of them use sign language, making communication easy. Although each farm is a learning environment, it’s also a workplace and a business. The farmers get paid for their work, and their produce sells very well.
Sibongile Maake is one of the farm workers. “I’m delighted with the work on the farm. I’m working slowly but surely, and I’m learning while making money. I can do things by myself. I am able to pay for things I need,” she said.
1.Why did Victoria start the project?
A.To remind herself that life is hard for the deaf.
B.To enable the deaf to learn farming and get a job.
C.To show that deaf people can plant vegetables.
D.To help the deaf across South Africa to go to school.
2.What is right about Voiceout Deaf?
A.They draw pictures to communicate with others.
B.Farmers work for free in exchange for lessons.
C.It’s just a moving classroom for the deaf people.
D.People like buying what they grow on the farm.
3.What is the correct order of the following events?
①Victoria got a job opportunity at a bank.
②Victoria launched the farming project.
③Victoria studied at university with a partner.
④Victoria noticed deaf people were in great trouble.
A.③→②→④→① B.④→②→③→①
C.④→①→②→③ D.③→①→④→②
4.Which word(s) best describe Victoria?
A.Strict and very careful. B.Easily discouraged.
C.Thoughtful and dedicated. D.Creative and wealthy.
5.Where is this passage most likely to be found?
A.In a travel guide. B.In a farming novel.
C.In a personal diary. D.On a news website.
Are you an open book, your face showing every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University say that wearing your heart on your face, could actually give you a significant social advantage.
The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a researcher at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking differences in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, these expressions appeared as a stable personal quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressions across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months.
The researchers say that facial expressions are connected with personality, with more agreeable persons displaying more lively faces. Facial expressions can also turn into real social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive people are more likely to get a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressions serving an “affiliative (亲和的) function,” or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions.
Expressions are also connected with being seen as more “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who use facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked.
The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, the next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf.
1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on in the study?
A.Its impact. B.Its findings. C.Its limitations. D.Its significance.
2.What may facial expressions serve as in negotiation settings?
A.A way to frighten competitors. B.A method to hide personalities.
C.A tool to show personal quality. D.A strategy to settle disagreement.
3.What does the underlined word “decipher” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.To interpret. B.To overlook. C.To remember. D.To copy.
4.What may the author advise based on the findings of the study?
A.Always wearing a still face. B.Learning to be an open book.
C.Speaking out inner emotions. D.Forcing a smile through tears.
The meaning of facial expressions is decided by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture, the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.
A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual. However, many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places, while some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is often used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not try “reading” people from another culture, because we would “read” someone from our own culture. In fact, members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another do, which does not mean they do not experience emotions. For example, in public and in formal situations, many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
Because of personal and cultural differences in the United States, it is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness. In America, people from certain cultural backgrounds seem to be more facially expressive (表情丰富的) than others. Remember not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
1.In which culture is smiling at strangers in public often seen as unusual according to the passage?
A.American culture. B.Southeast Asian culture.
C.Russian culture. D.Vietnamese culture.
2.The underlined word “confusion” most likely means ________.
A.misunderstanding B.understanding
C.clear meaning D.happiness
3.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ________.
A.show friendliness to strangers B.be used to hide true feelings
C.be used in the wrong places D.show personal habits
4.What should we do before trying “reading” people?
A.Find out about their past experience. B.Learn about their relations with others.
C.Understand their cultural backgrounds. D.Figure out what they will do next.
5.What is the main idea of the article?

It was reported in May 2024 that the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA, 中国野生动物保护协会) will send giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of international conservation partnership. The CWCA has organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo is getting ready to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills related to panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research.
The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation. Over the past twenty years, the two sides have cooperated and solved many technical problems, including important discoveries in key areas like panda raising.
Since the 1990s, China has cooperated on giant panda conservation with 20 countries. “International cooperation in fields such as disease prevention and control, treatment, and wild training and reintroduction to the wild, has achieved good results. Giant pandas will facilitate communication between peoples and let people around the world know China better,” said Li, the leader of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.
“Scientific and educational outreach (延伸服务) also serves as a key role in international giant panda exchanges, allowing more people to understand giant pandas, which provides very good support for our efforts in protecting wild giant pandas,” Li said.

Scientists in Tanzania have trained rats to identify wildlife products being smuggled (走私) out of the country. The rats have learned to recognize the smell of these products and can point them out. The program is still being tested.
It’s really hard to stop the smuggling of wildlife products because smugglers are clever at hiding what they transport. Products can be hidden in secret places or covered with strong smells like coffee. Many of the countries where these animal products come from are so poor that they don’t have enough methods to catch smugglers.
The organization APOPO started the program. It believes that African giant pouched rats* might offer help. They’re the world’s largest rats, up to one metre long and weighing about 1.4 kilograms. They have a strong sense of smell and have been used before to sense diseases and help search for people after earthquakes.
Trainers use food as a reward. First, rats learn to put their noses into holes. Then, they are taught to notice certain smells and pay no attention to other smells. While working, the rats wear special vests (背心). If they find something, they pull a ball to make a sound and let their trainers know.
In the past tests, eight rats successfully learned to identify smuggled animal products among 146 different smells. They could remember these smells for several months. Last year, during a test in Dar es Salaam, the rats found over 83% of the smuggled products, even when people tried to cover up their smells.
These skilled rats will become important helpers in stopping the smuggling of wildlife products, helping protect endangered animals.

Being an astronaut sounds cool, as they can float in zero gravity (重力) and do amazing things in space. However, the weightless environment also brings a lot of trouble. Sadly, astronauts cannot even cry properly to show their feelings.
Although astronauts can produce tears, crying is much more difficult in space. Without gravity, tears do not flow down from the eyes as they do on Earth. Instead, they just stick to the eyes. In 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel had such an experience during a spacewalk. He said his tears just stayed in his eyes and would not fall off.
Tears stuck in the eyes not only make vision unclear but also cause physical pain. On Earth, tears usually comfort the eyes, but in the dry space environment, sudden wetness from tears brings pain instead of comfort. Feustel even said his right eye hurt badly. To solve this problem, astronauts can wipe tears against their helmets. They can also wait until the tears grow big enough to break free and float around.
In fact, many simple daily activities become hard in space. Astronauts cannot talk directly, eat or drink in normal ways. They cannot even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to keep food in their stomach. According to the UK National Space Center, burping in space may even lead to vomiting (呕吐).
We often take these small daily things for granted on Earth, but they become big problems in space. After experiencing all these difficulties, only space explorers can truly understand the importance of gravity and sincerely say, “Gravity, you’re the best.”
1.Why is it difficult for astronauts to cry in space?
A.Because they cannot produce tears at all.
B.Because tears don’t drop from their eyes.
C.Because tears flow downward too quickly.
D.Because the space environment stops sadness.
2.How do astronauts possibly deal with the tears?
A.They wait for them to dry out.
B.They use a towel to wipe them off.
C.They rub their eyes against their helmet.
D.They shut and open their eyes to make them fall.
3.Why is burping mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To explain how astronauts eat and drink in space.
B.To prove that vomiting is common in space travel.
C.To show that astronauts have fun activities in space.
D.To give an example of a difficult daily activity in space.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph about space explorers?
A.They regret staying in space for too long.
B.They prefer space because of zero gravity.
C.They think life in space is more dangerous.
D.They value gravity more than ordinary people.
5.Where does the passage probably come from?
A.A science magazine. B.A research paper.

Instead of boring grammar worksheets (语法活页练习册), Class 8 students got an exciting task. The task asked them to plan a one-day trip to the City Museum and make a simple English guidebook. Their teacher Mr. Smith called it a “Project-Based Learning” (PBL) challenge. He said it would help them use English in real life.
At first, the students were worried. “How do we start?” asked Chen Yu, who was a quiet student. Mr. Smith smiled, “Work together and find the way yourselves.”
The teacher divided the class into three groups. The research group looked for information about the dinosaur (恐龙) show on the website. The design group drew simple pictures to make the guidebook nice. The language group wrote clear introductions and checked the English many times for foreign visitors.
They had some small problems and argued with each other at first. With Mr. Smith’s help, they learned to talk nicely and make peace finally. When they showed their guidebooks to the museum director, Mr. Li, he was surprised. “These are better than our official (官方的) ones!” he said.
On the trip day, the students bravely introduced the museum to the visitors in English and won a lot of likes. “I used to (过去常常) think English was just words in a book,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “Now I know it’s a useful tool that can help us connect with the world.”

Can you imagine what it is like to lose your ability to see? Everyday tasks like reading a menu, crossing the street, or knowing a friend’s face can become very difficult. But in 2025, a new invention is changing that.
Ally Solos smart glasses are made for people who are blind or cannot see well. These glasses look like a normal pair of glasses, but inside them, there is powerful AI technology. Small cameras are built into the front of the glasses. These cameras can “see” the world just like human eyes. They take pictures of whatever is in front of the user—a restaurant menu, a street sign, or even a person’s face. Then the AI system works quickly to understand what is in those pictures. Finally, the user hears a voice through tiny speakers in the glasses, telling them clearly what is there.
So how do you use these glasses? It is very simple. You just put them on and speak. You can say, “Ally, read this menu,” and the glasses will read the text out loud. If you say, “Who is in front of me?” the glasses will tell the person by saying something like, “A woman with a red jacket and short hair.” You can even ask the glasses to search the web for information. The glasses connect to an app on your phone through Bluetooth.
This invention gives blind people more power to do things by themselves. Without the glasses, they often need a guide dog or another person to help them. With the glasses, they can do many things on their own, such as going to a new place, shopping at a store, or reading a letter from a friend. One user said, “These glasses let me live my life without always asking for help.”
Ally Solos glasses can now be ordered before the official sale. They cost about 399 dollars, which is less than the usual price of 699 dollars. The future of AI glasses is bright, and it is bringing hope to millions of people around the world.

Chinese animation (动画), once less popular than foreign works, is now winning hearts worldwide, especially among young people. It combines (融合) great stories, new technology and Chinese culture.
A recent survey of 7,232 university students shows that over 40% often watch Chinese animations, and about 30% look for new ones every week. This growing interest can be seen in the success of films like Ne Zha 2, which became one of the top 5 movies at the global box office (全球票房)!
What makes Chinese animations special? Most students say it’s the mix of traditional culture and modern technology. Over 80% of the students think this is the key reason for their interest.
For example, Chang’an used smart technology to show beautiful scenes and poems in the Tang Dynasty. Ne Zha 2 told a classic myth (神话) in a modern way, showing that technology should finally serve cultural expression.
“I believe Chinese animation can succeed,” says Huang Ziyi, a student of Wuhan University. “While Japanese animations focus on love stories and American animations focus on heroes, we have our own cultural stories that connect with people everywhere.”

Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Mum is China’s first ink-wash cartoon movie. It opened a door for the world to learn about Chinese culture and art, so it is of great meaning in Chinese movie history.
At the beginning of the movie, there is a Chinese painting book. Then we can see a pool on the screen and the story happens there. With the music of guqin and pipa, we feel like coming into a wonderful ink-wash painting world.
The idea of making the movie came from a painting of Qi Baishi. In 1959, a director (导演) called Xu Jingda got the idea when he saw Qi’s painting on the basin (盆). “The great painting can be printed on the basin. Why not make it into a movie?” he said.
He and his team then tried to make the first scene (幕) of the movie—the frog jumping. After they made it, they started to make more scenes of different animals. After months of hard work, they finally put all the scenes together and made a short movie. Later, they added more interesting stories to the movie to make it longer.
In 1960, this 15-minute cartoon movie finally appeared. It surprised people around the world. Today, it is still one of the best Chinese ink-wash cartoon movies. In the movie, we can always find the creativity of the artists.
1.What can we see at the beginning of the film?
2.What music was used in the film?
3.What did the idea of making the film come from?
4.Who is the director of the film?

Have you ever tried to enjoy a painting without looking at it? Or read a guide by using hands? For the blind (盲人), this is their daily challenge. But now, more and more museums in China are trying to help.
Take the Guangdong Museum for example. Last year, it added Braille guides (盲文导览) for blind visitors. These guides have raised dots that can be read by touching. Blind people can now “read” the introduction of each artwork by themselves. The museum also provides audio guides with clear and slow descriptions for visitors who have difficulty seeing.
For deaf visitors, the museum offers sign language videos. These videos explain the history of each exhibit in a way that is easy to follow. Some museums even have special apps on mobile phones. Deaf visitors can scan a QR code and watch a sign language interpreter on their phone screen.
Why do museums do all these? “Culture belongs to everyone and we want everyone to enjoy the beauty of art and history.” said a worker at the museum.
These changes may seem small, but they make a big difference. When everyone can visit a museum freely, the world becomes a little warmer.
1.What did the Guangdong Museum add for blind visitors last year?
2.How do blind people read the Braille guides?
3.Who can benefit from the audio guides mentioned in the passage?
4.Where can deaf visitors watch sign language videos according to the passage?
5.Why do museums provide these special services for people with disabilities?

During the 2026 Spring Festival, 54 students from China went on a two-week trip to California, the USA.The trip’s purpose is to help Chinese and American students learn about each other’s cultures and make friends.
The students joined classes at local schools. At first, the American students were a bit worried, because they thought the Chinese students didn’t speak English well. However, their Chinese friends soon showed they could communicate clearly.
For all the students, cultural activities were fun. The Chinese students taught the American students paper-cutting, Chinese writing, and how to make dumplings, though Liu Ruiqin joked that their first try looked messy.

“But I want to be everybody’s friend! I need to share my time among everyone!”, Fiona protested.
“My dear, you’re a lovely girl,” said her mother, “but you can’t be a close friend to everybody. There just isn’t enough time to be available for everyone, so it’s only possible to have a few true friends. The others will be playmates or acquaintances, but they won’t be close friends”.
