(A) A. stimulating B. favorable C. bitter D. substantially E. curiosity F. exploited G. clumsy H. consumption I. damaging J. criticized K. moderately How online trolling and ridicule turned a Chinese box-office bomb into an unlikely blockbuster A Chinese animated film 31 online ridicule, propelling its box-office revenue into six figures. Social-media trolling and ridicule have seldom generated constructive outcomes in the decade since such trends gained widespread popularity. Over the years, trolling — the bandwagon effect of 32 criticism circulating across social media — has been condemned for its 33 impact on public mental well-being. Yet against all expectations, trolling yielded a 34 result in this case. The movie succeeded in transforming widespread online mockery into free publicity, 35 curious audiences and reversing its miserable fate at the box-office. The film gained merely 7,700-yuan ticket income within its initial ten-day run. Severely 36 by reviewers at its launch, it quickly evolved into a viral online topic. Numerous audiences posted video clips, complaining about its inferior animation and 37 plot construction. Nevertheless, massive negative remarks aroused public 38 . Groups of spectators purchased tickets so as to evaluate the production in person. As online debates intensified, ticket sales climbed 39 . The wave of public contempt pushed this movie into an unforeseen commercial hit. It illustrates the powerful force of social-media feedback in shaping 40 decisions, even if public sentiment remains predominantly unfavorable. (B) A. anchored B. reflect C. tailored D. exceeding E. releases F. focuses G. vulnerable H. inspiration I. distinguishing J. moral K. viral Chinese animated feature All Wishes Come True! has gained remarkable momentum upon its theatrical release, quickly 41 the 200-million-yuan box-office mark and earning an 8.3-point rating on Douban, which secures its competitive position among summer-season new 42 . Departing from conventional mythic narratives focusing on divine ascension, this production 43 on the mortal experiences of the Eight Immortals prior to their deification. Though deeply 44 in the time-honored folk tale The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the story re-interprets these legendary figures as 45 individuals burdened with inner conflicts rather than flawless gods. The creative team drew 46 from ancient paintings and traditional art forms, adopting classic Chinese colour systems to shape visual identities. Even costume patterns subtly 47 each character’s background. Its martial-arts sequences, arranged by seasoned directors, are 48 to personalities of different roles. At its core, the film redefines true divinity: immortality lies not in supernatural power, but in the 49 courage to stand up for ordinary people. The English title highlights the theme shifting from self-interest to selfless devotion. As the director observes, technical competence is no longer the 50 feature of Chinese animation; what matters most is authentic local stories carrying Eastern philosophy. The production is scheduled for overseas distribution across multiple regions. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. (A) Directions Matter Jet lag may be the worst part of travelling, and it hits many people harder travelling east than west. Why they feel this way is 51 , but scientists recently developed a new model that provides an explanation for the mystery and insights on recovering from jet lag. The model imitates the way neuronal oscillator cells (神经振子细胞) 52 crossing time zones. These cells in our brains 53 our biological clocks. However, the cells don’t quite operate on a perfect 24-hour schedule. Instead, their activity follows a 54 that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours. According to Michelle Girvan, an associate professor of physics at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study, that means it’s 55 for us to extend the length of a day — for example, by flying west across time zones — than to shorten the day, by flying east. The scientists found that for 56 travel, a person who crossed three time zones would fully 57 in a little less than four days. For six time zones, recovery would take about six days. For nine time zones, the recovery would take just less than eight days. However, when a person travels eastward, the recovery time doesn’t match up as 58 . When a person crosses three time zones going east, it takes a little more than four days to recover. For six time zones, the recovery time 59 to more than eight days. And for nine time zones, the recovery period is more than 12 days. Girvan noted that not everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours. 60 , it varies from person to person. The other factor to consider is 61 cues such as sunlight, Girvan added. How a person reacts to these cues can also 62 how quickly he or she will adjust to a new time zone. The scientists hope that their new model can be used in the future to figure out the best ways to 63 jet lag. For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward, start by setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you arrive in a new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to 64 the new time zone. That means that if it’s daytime in the new time zone, expose yourself to sunlight. And if it’s nighttime, avoid artificial 65 , including those from smartphones and computers, to help your biological clock adjust. 51. A. incredible B. unclear C. surprising D. apparent 52. A. interact with B. account for C. respond to D. result in 53. A. regulate B. watch C. stop D. kick 54. A. pattern B. routine C. process D. cycle 55. A. easier B. safer C. more dangerous D. more difficult 56. A. eastward B. southward C. northward D. westward 57. A. prepare B. understand C. adjust D. change 58. A. nicely B. relatively C. classically D. awkwardly 59. A. reduces B. jumps C. contributes D. leads 60. A. Rather B. Otherwise C. However D. Moreover 61. A. social B. verbal C. external D. chemical 62. A. promote B. emphasize C. orient D. impact 63. A. form B. endure C. shelter D. beat 64. A. specify B. match C. shift D. destroy 65. A. sights B. barriers C. lights D. sounds (B) Next week, as millions of families gather for their Thanksgiving feasts (大餐), many other Americans will go without. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, more than 12 million households 66 enough food for everyone in their family at some time during the year — including 67 . Hunger is surprisingly widespread in our country — one of the world’s wealthiest — yet the government estimates that we waste almost 100 billion pounds of food each year, more than one-quarter of our total supply. Reducing this improper distribution of 68 is a goal of America’s Second Harvest, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Last year, it 69 nearly 2 billion pounds of food to more than 23 million people in need. America’s Second Harvest is a network of 214 inter-connected food banks and other organizations that 70 food from growers, processors, grocery stores and restaurants. 71 , the network distributes food to some 50,000 soup kitchens (施食处), homeless 72 and old people’s centres in every county of every state. A great deal of work is involved in distributing tons of food from thousands of 73 to thousands of small, non-profit organizations. Until a few years ago, America’s Second Harvest lacked any 74 way to manage their inventory (存货). Without accurate and timely information, soup kitchens were sometimes empty while food was left to 75 in loading places. In 2000, America’s Second Harvest began to use a new inventory and financial-management system — Ceres. It is (a) 76 designed specifically for hunger-relief operations. It is used by more than 100 America’s Second Harvest organizations to 77 food from donation to distribution. Ceres has helped 78 the spoiling of food and improve distribution. An evaluation found that the software streamlined (精简) food banks’ operations by 23 percent in the first year alone. With more accurate and timely reports, Ceres saves time, frees staff members to focus on finding new donors, and 79 more efficient use of donations. Hunger in America remains a(n) 80 social problem. Technology alone cannot solve it. But in the hands of organizations such as America’s Second Harvest, it is a powerful tool that is helping to make a difference — and helping more Americans to join in the feast. 66. A. serve B. lack C. reserve D. order 67. A. workdays B. birthdays C. holidays D. paydays 68. A. resources B. incomes C. missions D. services 69.

A. troubling B. demanding C. touching D. imposing Section B Directions: Read the following 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) I was a graduate student in Manhattan having breakfast on my rooftop on Sept. 11, 2001, when I witnessed planes hit the Twin Towers. For months afterwards, I shook with anxiety every morning. Unwilling to medicate, I tried everything else. Mindfulness meditation caused panic attacks. Hot yoga built muscle but did nothing for my anxiety. I went to talks by Buddhist monks and meditation teachers hoping to attain inner peace, but in vain. Finally, I attended a SKY Breath Meditation class, which involves a 20-minute breathing regimen (养生之道) in different postures and rhythms. Though I went in skeptical, I came out calm. Two decades later, I never missed a day of my breathing practice, not even when I gave birth. I’ve also devoted part of my research career to studying the benefits of breathing for mental health and well-being. Seven years after 9/11, I was working with veterans returning from war with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Traditional treatments had failed many of them, so my colleagues and I ran a randomized controlled trial to test the effects of SKY breathing. Compared with the control group, veterans practicing SKY every day for one week saw their anxiety drop to levels typical of the general population. Even though most did not continue to practice, they maintained the benefits a year later. Emotions influence your breathing patterns, and changing your breathing can change your emotions. For example, anxiety and anger correspond to an irregular, short, fast breath. Adopting the slower and more regular breathing pattern that corresponds to a calm feeling signals relaxation by activating the vagus nerve (交感神经), slowing heart rate, easing blood pressure, and settling you down. A simple exercise you can try is to close your eyes and breathe out for twice as long as you breathe in. Do this for five minutes in the morning, before a stressful meeting or as you transit from work to home. 81. Why did the author attend the SKY Breath Meditation class? A. To build up muscles. B. To relieve inner anxiety. C. To learn more about meditation. D. To quest for religious belief. 82. How did the author test the effects of SKY breathing? A. She worked with healthy veterans returning from war. B. She chose victims suffering PTSD in the 9/11 incident. C. She divided the veterans into two groups and compared results. D. She cooperated with researchers from mindfulness meditation classes. 83. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Breathing interacts with emotions. B. It is harmful to activate the vagus nerve. C. Breathing out as long as you breathe in is a simple way to follow. D. Breathing regimen should be carried out for five minutes every morning. 84. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. PTSD: more awareness needed B. SKY: better well-being attained C. Meditation: an effective treatment D. Breath: detailed ways to conduct (B) For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply, but we’ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now — a dog translator called body harness has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend. HOW IT WORKS ● The platform itself is a harness that fits comfortably onto the dog, and which is equipped with a variety of technologies. ● Wireless sensors can determine when they’re sitting, standing, running, etc, even when they’re out of sight. ● The team developed software to collect, interpret and communicate those data, and to translate human requests into signals on the harness through speakers and vibrating motors. WHAT’S FOR ✧ The harness could be used to train pets, guide dogs and other working animals. ✧ Sensors on the harness monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature. ✧ The sensor-packed harness can sense the animal’s movement, and the sounds it makes, letting the owner knows how they feel. ✧ Speakers and vibrating pads in the harness also allow owners to “talk back” to their animals. ✧ The harness is also intended for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work. 85. The word “comply” in the first paragraph probably means “________”. A. shout B. obey C. disappear D. attack 86. Which of the following is NOT the intention of the harness? A. To create a better communication between dogs and human. B. To enable the dogs to do demanding jobs. C. To transfer human thoughts to the dogs by means of technology. D. To monitor dog’s communicative behaviours. 87. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage? A. New platform: for better performances of dogs. B. Harness: a two-way communication device. C. Dog care: a completely new way possible. D. Technology: toward healthier life of dogs. (C) “Anita Bhagwandas is really ugly.” This was a comment that had been left on an online forum 10 years ago in reaction to a picture of me alongside my colleagues. “Trolls will be trolls,” friends comforted me when I told them about it. They told me that I should forget all about those words. But I couldn’t let “ugly” go. I’ve had a complex relationship with that word my whole life. Growing up in Wales during the 1990s and 2000s as a plus-sized, dark-skinned Indian girl, I wanted to look like anyone other than myself. This discomfort followed me from my teens all the way up to my university and adult life — an imaginary friend was always there to remind me of my lowly place in the world. Overtime, it developed into an obsession with thinness and all that it promised: prettiness, acceptance, success. I, like many others, have been on and off some type of diet throughout my life. It feels like a never-ending game of chess, using protein bars and fried chicken as pieces. To say that trying to navigate this internal concept of “ugly” shaped my life would be an understatement. It affected everything, including my career: I became a beauty editor. I was driven by the knowledge that the industry needed to be more inclusive. Working on the inside of the beauty industry, I started to notice some changes. Around 2010, social media gave people a voice and more control over what magazines and brands were creating for them. Now, consumers were increasingly being told to “love the skin you’re in” or to feel like you’re “worth it.” I finally found some comfort — but it wasn’t because of the popular slogan “love yourself as you are.” That never worked for me because it didn’t go deep enough. But when I started to read about how beauty standards were created, who created them and who was holding the puppet strings that are making so many of us feel ugly, things started to gradually change. I developed some self-protective methods to counter the wrongness of the beauty standards I’d been sold my entire life. Today, I still buy beauty products, but I do so because I love their smells, their designs and their textures, so purchasing beauty products has become much of a pleasurable experience for me. It makes a big difference to your mindset when you are using beauty products for joy, rather than to look prettier, thinner and younger. Am I fixed? Do I walk around giving myself high fives in wing mirrors and windows? No. But I do feel so much more at peace with my appearance. I’ve come to learn how important it is for me to root my self-worth in the qualities that really define me — my character and positive traits. Once I had done so, I started to realize that ugly is an ever-changing concept — and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is never to trust those binary (二元对立的) categories. “Pretty” and “ugly” don’t actually exist. 88. When the author was called ugly by strangers online, she________. A. just laughed it off B. was really astonished about it C. tried to pay no attention to it D. felt as uncomfortable as she had as a child 89. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply? A. The author’s diet is unhealthy and unbalanced. B. The author has been following a very strict diet plan. C. The author finds it beyond her intelligence to make herself a diet plan. D The author has long battled between eating fattening foods and struggling to lose weight. 90. We can learn from the article that the author became a beauty editor because________. A. she wanted to fulfil her childhood dream B. she aspired to broaden the public perception C. she wished to explore the true standards of beauty herself D. she hoped to prove herself to those who looked down upon her 91. The author’s perception of herself improved significantly________. A. after having worked in the beauty industry B. when she learnt about the secrets behind beauty standards C. when she defined her self-worth based on her good qualities D. after having been inspired by the slogan “love yourself as you are.” Section C Directions: Read the following passage carefully. 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. This future may not be as far away as we think. B. Robots can’t successfully imitate doctors’ motions in the operating room. C. Finally, several humans observed as the robotic arm made numerous motions. D. The nursing assistant for your next trip to the hospital will still be a robot instead of human beings. E. They will just allow us to decrease workload and achieve better performances in several tasks. F. His work indicates that humans and robots can effectively cooperate during high-risk events such as surgeries. Your Next Nurse Could Be a Robot Dr. De Momi, of the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), led an international team that trained a robot to imitate natural human actions. 92 Over time this should lead to improvements in safety during surgeries because unlike their human counterparts robots do not tire and can complete an endless series of precise movements. The goal is not to remove human skill from the operating room, but to complement it with a robot’s particular skills and benefits. “As a roboticist, I am convinced that robotic (co)workers and collaborators will definitely change the work market, but they won’t steal job opportunities. 93 “De Momi explains. To conduct their experiment De Momi’s team photographed a human being conducting numerous reaching motions, in a way similar to handing instruments to a surgeon. These camera captures were input into the neural network of the robotic arm, which is crucial to controlling movements. Next a human operator guided the robotic arm in imitating the reaching motions that the human subject had initially performed. Although there was not a perfect overlap between the robotic and human actions, they were broadly similar. 94 These observers determined whether the actions of the robotic arms were “biologically inspired,” which would indicate that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behavior. About 70% of the time this is exactly what the human observers concluded. These results are promising, although further research is necessary to confirm or refine De Momi’s conclusions. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behavior, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can cooperate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms. 95 De Momi’s work is part of the growing field of healthcare robotics, which has the potential to change the way we receive health care sooner rather than later.
