B If you see a white and a pink mascot with a wave, recognize them. They are the official mascots for the 15th National Games of the People’s Republic of China, originally named “Xi Yangyang” and “Le Rongrong”. Their design is inspired by the Chinese white dolphin, representing the spirit of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area(大湾区). However, it was the internet that gave them a much funnier name. Because the wave on their heads looked like a rooster’s crest(鸡冠), people lovingly called them the “Bay Chicken(Da Wan Ji)” It was both cute and impressive. So the name “Bay Chicken” was spread quickly on social media platforms and remembered by many people. People love them not just for their look, but for their performances. During the opening ceremony and at many sports venues, dressed in heavy costumes, the actors who played them did handstands, jumped around, and even bumped into railings(撞到栏杆). These funny and energetic actions were filmed and shared online millions of times. As a result, the mascots’ toys and other products were sold out immediately. It became very difficult to buy one. So, why did these mascots become so popular? First, their funny behaviour provided a happy escape for people from their busy lives. Furthermore, the event organizers were very smart with the public. They happily accepted the funny nickname and shared many videos and memes (表情包) online. Finally, the mascots are a symbol of local culture. As a result, they soon became popular and the pride of people in the region. ( )26. What inspired the design of the official mascots “Xi Yangyang” and “Le Rongrong”? A.The Chinese white dolphin. B.

Its name comes from an ancient Greek story. A soldier ran from Marathon to Athens to share the news of a victory. Today, marathons are held worldwide, and follow a standard distance of 42.195 kilometres. There are full marathons, half marathons and shorter fun runs (like 5 km or 10 km). People can choose as they like. Modern marathons welcome professional runners, beginners, and even wheelchair athletes. For most of them, it’s not about winning but about trying their best. Training takes months of running, exercise, and healthy eating. Many runners say sticking to the training plan is harder than the race itself. In China, big cities hold exciting races every year. The Beijing Marathon, first held in 1981, now attracts over 30,000 runners every year. The Shanghai Marathon has a beautiful route along the Huangpu River, while the Xiamen Marathon is known for its seaside views. Even small towns are joining in. In 2023, a marathon in a mountain village in Guizhou invited farmers and students to run through terraced fields(梯田), mixing sports with local culture. These events aim to get people to exercise and help local development. In the Guangzhou Marathon, families run together in “parent-child races”, and older runners over 70 wear bright ribbons(丝带) to show their energy. Finishing a race, no matter the time, makes everyone proud. Let’s start running together! 1.

B. One possible version: A Sporting Hero Zheng Qinwen is one of the greatest tennis players in the world. She showed her talent in tennis and began her sporting life at a young age. As an athlete, she faced many challenges and got hurt sometimes. However, nothing could hold her back. For example, in one important match in 2022, Zheng played against a strong opponent and lost the game. Instead of giving up or losing heart, she stayed calm and trained harder. At last, her hard work led to success. She became the first Chinese athlete to win an Olympic gold medal in tennis singles in 2024. In my opinion, Zheng Qinwen is a symbol of courage and success. Her story encourages me to face difficulties bravely and never lose hope. ( 第 1 页 共 8 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
