The new king of the Chinese box office is an adorably ugly,demonic child fighting off monsters."Nezha 2,"
an animated film based on Chinese31and a famous 16th century novel,has become the highest-grossing
movic cver in China,with more than $1.3 billion in ticket sales.It is also the first film not made by a Hollywood
studio to 32 that mark.
The blockbuster has 33 a rare dose of good news for the Chinese film industry,which is struggling
with declining ticket sales and a slumping economy.The few films that break through the tricky situation are no
longer Hollywood titles,but34 features with patriotic messaging or rooted in traditional folklore.
"Nezha 2"is a sequel()to what had been the highest-grossing animated film in China.In the 2019
35,Nezha is born as the reincarnation (of a demon with supernatural powers,but destined to live
only three years.He fights back against his fate and saves his village.The sequel to revisit a similar
theme where he challenges the political order and authority,fighting the Dragon King of the Four Seas and other
creatures.

the Chinese New Year holiday,according to Maoyan,a Chinese entertainment data provider.The film,distributed
by CMC Pictures,will be released in North America on Friday.
China Daily,a state-run newspaper,said in an opinion essay that "Ne Zha 2"symbolizes the country's
"growing cultural confidence."It called it evidence that China's entertainment industry is telling its own stories
instead of relying on Western studios to make movies based on Chinese folklore,38 "Mulan"from Walt
Disney Studios."Ne Zha 2'reclaims the storytelling mantle,proving that no one can recount China's story better
than China itself."the essay stated.Traditional Chinese culture has also inspired 39 in other forms of
entertainment.In video games,Black Myth:Wukong,based on a classic 16th century Chinese novel called
"Journey to the West,"was an instant 40 when it came out last year.

in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The idea that young people today have a damaging relationship with digital technology-a relationship that
leaves them(41)grounded in the real world and psychologically and socially undeveloped-is not just
an old person's concern.
According to a 2023 survey,seventy-five percent ot young people were worried about social media's impact
on young people's mental health.Sity percent of Gen Z adults said that they wished they could retum to the
predigital era,a time that largely (42)their own hives.Consumer trends also demonstrate the historical

games is driven only in part by older adults looking to(44)their youth.Young people who grew up on
digital entertainments are also a major force bchind this revitalization.
Is Gen Z really in the grip of historical nostalgia-and if so,is that a good or bad thing?Nostalgia gets a
bad name.It is often characterized as an unproductive(45)with an idealized past,one that prevents
people from living in the prescnt and planning for the future.In reality,nostalgia,often a source of comfort.
guidance and inspiration,helps people (46)in the present and build a better future.(47)
nostalgia is,counter-intuitively,a futurc-oriented endeavor.We draw on it to resolve our dis-satisfactions in the
present and to(48)with hopc and dctermination.Yes,nostalgia can be indulged.But for most people,
most of the time,it is a stabilizing and (49)force.
Given Gen Z's(50)about their relationships with the digital technologies that have saturated (
their lives,perhaps they are(51)mining the past to enrich their present lives-especially by fostering a
greater appreciation for(52)living.This is how they reap the benefits of the pre-internet world.For
example,the practice of listening to an entire vinyl record is a valuable exercise in(53)tocus,since you
can't click on a YouTube video halfway through.Even something as simple as a board game night with fricnds
may help them feel more comfortable and confident in professional social settings.
There is no reason to think that members of Gen Z are(54)modern technology.By many measures,
they appear to be enthusiastic about the latest innovations.But progress always involves reaction and revision.
Historical nostalgia may be helping a younger generation to harness the benefits of new technology while
preserving the virtues of the tangible.physical experiences that remain essential to human flourishing.With the
rise of artificial intelligence,all eyes are on the future.But it is worth looking to(55)
as Gen Z appears to
be doing,to reveal the future we actually want.

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A.B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
When I was a young girl,a retired hairdresser who lived opposite us would come to do my mum's hair once a
week.My mum would sit under the hairdryer and the hairdresser would talk and talk.I would sit in the dining
room while observing how,so often,neither woman really listened to the other.My mother would wait for gaps in
第4页共10页
the conversation so she could say,"Exactly,"and then launch into her own,often unrelated,stories.
Over many meals in my tcens,I would watch as family members interrupted conversations,sending the chat
on a detour that became all about them.As a child,I lacked the words to explain the way I felt.
It was only when I was appointed The Guardian's agony aunt in 2008 that I realized I still had a lot to leam.
As part of the process of replying to readers'letters,I would invite experts to work with me.I was greedy for their
insights into human behavior and soon learned that the basis of every problem I received was communication in
some form.
Listening,I discovered,wasn't just about asking good questions or not interrupting.It was about really
hearing what the other person was saying,and WHY they were saying it.Sometimes,this means looking for
what's not said,and which words arc used to mask emotions that are hard to acknowledge.
The psychotherapist I've spoken to most often for my columns is Chris Mills.He taught me that allowing a
tiny silence after someone has spoken can enable their words to say a bit more.Try it:resist saying something
immediately after someone has stopped speaking.
But listening is not about remaining silent.If it goes on too long,silence can make things awkward.The
mistake many people make is filling the silence with their own stories.Offering up the,"Oh,that happened to me,
too"stories seems empathetic,and they do have their place if they are short,reinforcing the point your companion
was making.But doing this without thought is called"shifting"because you end up hijacking the conversation
and tuming the focus on to yourself.When you do this,the other person can feel shut down.
Instead,try supporting them,using responses such as,"How did that make you feel?"or"What a lot you
have on your shoulders!"I used to think that simple responses such as these were not all that importamt until one
day,after I have complained to my cousin about an cspecially stressful day,he simply responded with two words:
"I understand."I felt seen,heard and understood.Ever since then,I've never forgotten the power ot short answers.
So has more than a decade of answering your questions and consulting the very best experts made me an
excellent listener?Nope.But I do really try.Listening is a skill that all of us could do with a little sharpening.
56.As the retired hairdresser talked while doing her hair,the author's mum listened
A.attentively
B.eagerly
C.impatiently
D.impolitely
57.Before the author became an agony aunt,she thought good listening was just about
A.resisting the temptation of giving immediate response
B.letting the other person do the talking and asking good questions
C.filling the silence by offering short and empathetic response
D.shifting the focus and suggesting lists of what they should do
58.The underlined word hifacking in paragraph 6 means
A.taking in
B.taking on
C.taking over
D.taking back
59.We can learn from the article that now,the author
A.is attempting to become a better listener
B.regards herself to be an extraordinary listener
C.always replies to other people with short answers
D.offers training services to poor communicators

(C)
Insects are disappearing.The world has 25 per cent fewer terrestrial insects now than in 1990.This includes
those we rely on to pollinate our crops and clean our rivers.If we don't solve this problem very soon,some
species will disappear.
There are many causes for the insect decline,but insecticides are a major part of the problem.Those used
today are longer lasting and up to 10,000 times more toxic than some that were banned in the 1970s.Adding to the
problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as a precaution and used whether pests are present or not.
Overall,the amount of pesticide applied to the land is decreasing,but this is a grossly misleading statistic.A
recent paper found that,between 2005 and 2015,there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide
applied to crops measured by weight.But because modern insecticides are so much more toxic,the global toxicity
of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period.
Governments and regulating agencies are aware of the problem,and some parts of the world have moved to
ban the use of certain insecticides outdoors in an attempt to help bees survive.But the pesticides used instead are
just as toxic.
One often-touted approach is to use pesticide-free pest control methods.These varied techniques are
gathered under the name of integrated pest management(IPM)and have been around for decades.They offer
effective crop protection and include methods such as crop rotation and the use of natural predators.But their
adoption has been incredibly slow,because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easier option.As a result,IPM
methods are unfortunately seldom used today.
Neither changing insecticides nor shifting to IPM is a quick fix.We argue instead that we need a subtle shift
in focus,away from killing pests and towards protecting crops.
By using the minimal dose we need to protect crops,we could reduce the amount of insecticide to a fraction
of what is used today.Farmers would benefit from these changes.They would spend less money on pesticides and
improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about.Reducing insecticide doses won't solve the
insect decline problem,but it is a move that could win us time to make food production more sustainable and
cultivate farmlands in a greener way.And that will allow insects to recover.
63.According to the passage,which of the statements is TRUE?
A.The toxicity in insecticides used before persists longer.
B.Toxic-free insecticides are now used to keep pests away.
第7页共10页
C.The amount of pesticides used per acre is less than before.
D.Currently-used pesticides are no less toxic than before.
64.Which of the following can replace the underlined word often-touted in paragraph 5?
A.broadly-publicized B.generally-proved C.recently-created
D.frequently-criticized
65.What is the best way to treat the insect decline?
A.To rescarch and devclop new pesticides
B.To protect crops rather than killing out insects.
C.To raise large-scale natural predators of insects.
D.To shift to the IPM pesticide-controlling method.
66.What is the best title for this passage?
A.Insect control:alarming findings about pesticide usc
B.Insects decline:immediate mcasurcs to be taken
C.Insects control:a long way to go
D.Insects decline:a call for shift in insecticide use
Section C
Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence
can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A.It is not young kids driving the demand but kidults aged 12 and above.
B.The pandemic accelerated this trend by fostering a desire for emotional support.
C.On the contrary,they only add to the appeal as soft toys are an everyday indulgence.
D.These numbers reflect a broader shift in how people view childhood nostalgia.
E One influencer suggested that collecting luxury teddy bears was healing her inner child.
F The surge in popularity is mirrored by surprising market growth.
The Global Plushie Craze
Millennials and Gen Z are falling hard for soft toys.
It looked like a typical fish-and-chip shop.But the catch of the day came with a catch of its own:customers
were buying toys.Fish was served with fuzzy lemons and plushy peas.The cheapest item cost S25,twice the cost
of an actual meal.Jellycat,the British brand behind the pop-up shops,invited everyone to play with their food.
67.Melissa Symonds of Circana,a consumer-insights firm,says that soft toys are the
second-largest category in the British toy market;sales have soared by around 58%since 2021.The global market
was worth almost $12 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 8%until 2030.
This shift in consumer demograpnics marks a significant cultural trend.68
Kidults now
account for over a quarter of sales and,in 2023,surpassed preschoolers for the first time as the biggest age range
for toys overall.
The craze began during the pandemic,as teenagers and young adults,stuck at home amid a global disruption,
sought comfort in cute playthings.Lucy Dray,the owner of a soft-toy shop,says that soft toys"bring people
happiness and comfort"-two things that"can be quite hard to find in the world we live in".Pop psychologists
on social media have also talked the benefits of reconnecting with your younger self.69
It cannot be denied that as many postpone having children until their late 20s or early 30s,kidults have more
money to splash out on themselves.You can spend anywhere between $10 and $250 on a Squishmallow.
Otherwise,if you want a limited-edition black cat,you can buy one on eBay for more than $1,500.
The financial appeal of soft toys extends beyond casual purchases.Collectors are not put off by such high
第8页共10页
prices.70.Like obtaining a concert ticket or a sports trading card,getting your hands on a rare
soft toy gives you bragging rights.Celebrity supports have intensified their desirability further -Kim
Kardashian and Lady Gaga are declared fans.
For the timc being,plushies are staying put in bed rooms everywhere.When Paco the Salamander,a toy
influencer,joked on TikTok that she was "ready to grow up"and get rid of her considcrablc plushie collection,her
followers insisted that"you're never too old"to own them.For toymakers,it is all about the soft sell.
IV.Summary Writing (1*10=10)
Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more
than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.
Footballers Required
Good news!We necd some fresh blood on our school's football team,the best in the district.And we would
like to have the participation of those who think in our way.
Ideally,you should have at least some football skills or,at least,not have two left feet.First and foremost,
however,you should have commitment.You cannot pick and choose which practice sessions you will attend and
which you will not.You have to attend them all.Come rain or shine,if you are going to be good enough to play
for the school tcam.Furthermore,while you are at the practice session you should be prepared to give it your all.
We need enthusiastic players who are willing to train hard in order to be fighting fit and in top form.
For your health,you should consider taking more physical exercise rather than be content to play computer
games all day long.There have been many medical reports recently which have stressed the importance of young
people getting more exercise.Football is an excellent and enjoyable way of doing so.
The thoughts of some of you might be focused on post-school classes and rightly so.However,it is often not
cnough to have good academic results in order to impress people with your CV ()After-school activities
are also of great importance.
Bear in mind that many universities prefer to have students who have some outstanding skills in some form
of sport,particularly because these students tend to be more competitive on the sports field as well as in the exam
room.Besides,many employers give preference to those who can prove themselves to be team players.What
better proof than actually to have been in a team?
Come and be one of us!You may discover that you have hidden potential!
