Passage 1 人物励志
Wang Jibing, affectionately known online as “the deliveryman poet”, has won the 9th Lu Xun Literature Prize for Poetry with his poetry collection Low Flight, the China Writers Association announced on July 15, 2026.
Born in November 1969 and writing under the pen name Shihuang, Wang now works as a food delivery rider in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province. He dropped out of junior high school due to poor family conditions and did all kinds of tough jobs to make a living: sand digging, truck driving, street vending and waste collecting. In 2018, at the age of 50, he became a delivery rider when his small grocery store failed, making him the oldest rider in his station.
Wang never gave up writing poetry amid his busy work. He jotted down lines on scraps of paper or even his palm during short breaks — waiting for meals, lifts or customers. Up to now, he has created around 6,000 poems and published four collections. He rose to nationwide fame in July 2022, when his poem The Man Chasing Deadlines, describing delivery riders’ tough lives, spread wildly across social media.
To finish the prize-winning book Low Flight, Wang interviewed more than 140 fellow riders and based all poems on their real experiences. He said his simple wish for this collection was to help readers understand delivery workers’ daily struggles, so people would show more kindness to riders. In his poems, ordinary couriers are described as kind and noble souls, bearing the weight of life silently.
When talking about his creation, Wang said he was just a mirror reflecting warmth from the world. Instead of shining by himself, he records the kindness between ordinary laborers and spreads it through poetry. Even after winning China’s top literary award, he still sticks to his delivery job, writing down the quiet beauty hidden in ordinary working life.

Passage 2 热点思辨·灾难人文
Typhoon Bavi has brought continuous torrential rains to Northeast China’s Liaoning and Jilin provinces, triggering severe flooding in many regions. On July 14, heavy rainfall mainly hit eastern Liaoning, greatly threatening local people’s lives and property. By 4 pm that day, over 370,000 residents had been relocated across the province, showing an extremely severe flood prevention situation.
However, amid the serious disaster, an inappropriate online trend has arisen. Some netizens turned the deadly flood into internet memes and jokes. Trending topics such as “Shenyang turns into an ocean” spread rapidly on social platforms. In addition, many self-media accounts edited and reposted flood-site videos with cheerful background music, packaging the devastating disaster as funny short videos. The comment sections were also filled with playful and joking remarks, treating the life-threatening flood as casual entertainment.
Such behavior has drawn wide criticism online. Most netizens have called for an immediate stop to the entertainment of natural disasters. They admitted that Northeast Chinese people are known for their optimistic and relaxed attitude towards difficulties, but this optimistic spirit should never be abused to beautify or trivialize disasters. People should focus on the real sufferings of affected residents rather than creating jokes for online popularity.
Media comments also stressed that disasters are never reality shows. Every flood-related struggle is closely connected with people’s lives and livelihoods. Playing memes about floods ignores the gravity of the disaster and shows a lack of basic respect for those trapped and rescued.
Instead of chasing casual online entertainment during disasters, the public should pay rational attention to disaster relief work, spread safety information, guarantee smooth rescue passages, and offer support for material supply and post-disaster reconstruction. True warmth and responsibility lie in practical help rather than meaningless online amusement.
25. What can we learn about the flood caused by Typhoon Bavi?
A. It mainly influenced western Liaoning on July 14.
B. More than 370 thousand people were moved to safety.
C. It caused little threat to local people’s property.
D. Jilin province suffered less damage than Liaoning.
26. Why do many netizens oppose the flood-related online jokes?
A. The funny videos fail to attract public attention.
B. Such entertainment ignores victims’ real sufferings.
C. Optimistic attitudes are not popular in disasters.
D. Memes may prevent the spread of rescue news.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards disaster entertainment?
A. Tolerant.
B. Ambiguous.
C. Disapproving.
D. Supportive.
28. What is the best title for the text?
A. Optimism Shines in Flood Relief Work
B. Severe Floods Hit Northeast China Heavily
C. Online Culture Brings New Entertainment Trends
D. Disasters Should Never Be Turned into Entertainment
Passage 3 社会思辨·文旅发展
Laojun Mountain scenic spot in Henan Province recently announced its first official "sea of clouds observer". The post pays a monthly salary of 60,000 yuan, and the winner is Douyin creator Xiaozao, selected from over 3,000 applicants nationwide.
The recruitment was released on July 8. All participants nationwide were welcome except staff of the scenic area. The selected observer needs to live on the mountain top for 30 days (July 16 to August 15, 2026), observing and recording the sea of clouds every day, with all food and accommodation covered by the scenic spot. Judges mainly counted video likes, together with content quality, spreading influence and account rules compliance to pick the winner. Other top 30 creators also received free scenic benefits.
July and August witness the most frequent and amazing cloud seas on Laojun Mountain. The scenic area launched this program to fully record the fantastic natural views and share them with online audiences. The recruitment news went viral online within two hours, with thousands of netizens posting application videos and expressing strong interest.
Guangming Online released a commentary on this creative tourism promotion activity. It pointed out that many scenic areas have beautiful scenery but lack exposure in the crowded online information environment. Handing the camera and stage to ordinary internet users is a smart attempt, because their original creativity and passion bring far more vivid content than fixed official scripts.
However, the media also reminded local tourism operators not to rely totally on such short-term traffic tricks. Online popularity only lasts a short time, while good public praise comes from steady high-quality tourism services. The top priority for scenic spots is to upgrade overall service standards, so that tourists attracted by online videos can have satisfying travel experiences.

30. Why did Laojun Mountain start this recruitment project?
A. To offer high-paying jobs for local young people.
B. To improve the living conditions on the mountain top.
C. To record and spread its unique cloud sea scenery online.
D. To train a group of professional video creators for tourism.
31. What is Guangming Online’s attitude toward this recruitment activity?
A. Fully supportive without any worry.
B. Doubtful and completely against the idea.
C. Positive but reminding of hidden problems.

B. Laojun Mountain makes huge profits by attracting thousands of online video creators.
C. High salaries become the most popular way for scenic spots to gain online popularity.
D. Good service instead of online videos determines a scenic area’s long-term development.
Passage 4 科技思辨·人机共生
The relationship between humans and AI is being redefined. According to Wang Xiaogang, co‑founder of SenseTime and chairman of ACE Robotics, AI is never a specialized industry but a universal tool that everyone must learn to embrace. He predicts that future robots may understand human inner thoughts far better than people understand each other, capturing the unspoken meaning behind daily language.
Wang’s career path is highly impressive. From the University of Science and Technology of China’s elite juvenile class to co‑founding SenseTime and later leading ACE Robotics, he has long been at the forefront of China’s AI industry. Within less than one year, ACE Robotics has secured hundreds of millions of dollars in financing, relying on its self‑developed Kairos world model.
Wang believes embodied intelligence is the key breakthrough for future AI. Current large language models excel at digital analysis but cannot interact with the physical world, such as picking up a bottle of water. Embodied intelligence breaks the barrier between the virtual and real worlds, equipping AI with both powerful “brains” and physical operating abilities. Once the barrier is fully broken, robots will potentially become far more intelligent than humans.
Nevertheless, Wang stresses the double-edged nature of AI technology. The first concern lies in technological risks. Only by maintaining human technological advantages and guiding AI development with correct values can people prevent potential dangers. Another hidden risk is human capability degradation. As AI gradually replaces human work, people may lose basic skills. For instance, if engineers rely entirely on AI to write codes and abandon manual practice, they will eventually lack the ability to control future AI development.
In addition, long-term interaction between humans and robots may form unique emotional bonds. Machine dogs developed by ACE Robotics can form spatial memory during movement and share memory data across groups, a capability impossible for humans. Such group memory enables robots to appear warmer, yet it also raises new ethical concerns.
To achieve the “ChatGPT moment” for embodied intelligence, Wang points out two essential conditions: data and world models. Current robot training data is limited, with only about 100,000 hours accumulated in past years. In contrast, Tesla’s FSD obtains 4 million hours of driving data in a single day. The team aims to reach 10 million hours of training data within two years. A qualified world model enables AI to understand physical rules and human behavioral logic and predict future changes.
Wang recalled that China’s AI development relied on small independent teams in the early days. Nowadays, AI has become a national strategic industry requiring systematic coordination. The fast development of AI means that falling behind even temporarily may result in a huge gap. He hopes future AI research can discover underlying laws of intelligence rather than simply relying on massive data.
In Wang’s view, humans have achieved the 0-to-1 breakthrough in AI industry. Ultimately, the future of human-AI coexistence depends on how humans control and guide this powerful double-edged tool.
33. What does Wang Xiaogang think of AI?
A. It will eventually replace all human jobs.
B. It is an essential tool to be embraced by everyone.
C. It has already surpassed human physical abilities.
D. It belongs to an independent and specialized industry.
34. What is the main potential risk brought by AI according to Wang?
A. The slow iteration of language models.
B. Human functional degradation and tech risks.
C. Complete loss of human emotional bonds.
D. Failure of national strategic cooperation.
35. What is the main obstacle for embodied intelligence to achieve the “ChatGPT moment”?
A. Insufficient training data and imperfect world models.
B. Lack of physical operating equipment for robots.
C. No systematic national strategic industry support.
D. Over-reliance on human manual control.
36. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Double-edged Future of Human-AI Coexistence
B. The Rapid Development of China’s Traditional Industries
C. How Robots Have Completely Changed Human Life
D. Massive Data Determines the Future of AI
