B 【解析】 【导语】本文以上海野生动物园为例，指出人类干扰对野生动物的危害，呼吁人们尊重动物自然习性，保持距离，保护野生动物。 【11题详解】 句意：上海野生动物园提醒游客，不要向园内人气黑猩猩丁丁播放短视频。 文章开头提到“Shanghai Wild Animal Park”，丁丁生活在这座公园里；park“公园”契合语境，city“城市”、wild“野外”、forest“森林”不符合。 【12题详解】 句意：一些游客用手机给丁丁播放吵闹的音乐，这只黑猩猩会盯着屏幕，看起来十分专注。 黑猩猩紧盯手机屏幕，说明它注意力集中，focused“专注的”符合；bored“无聊的”、surprised“惊讶的”、funny“滑稽的”无法对应它紧盯屏幕的状态。 【13题详解】 句意：和人类不同，动物没法告诉我们它们感到不舒服，如果视力变差，它们也不能戴上眼镜。 本句对比人与动物，unlike“与……不同”用来引出对比；besides“此外”、for“为了”、against“反对”不符合逻辑。 【14题详解】 句意：这并不是独有的个案。 后文举出青海的狼、南宁动物园黑猩猩的另外两个负面例子，说明这类事情不是仅此一例，unique“独有的”符合；similar“相似的”、same“相同的”、common“普遍的”不符合句意。 【15题详解】 句意：它不再独自捕猎，而是守在路边等候投喂，这最终不幸造成了它的死亡。 这匹狼依赖过路车辆投喂食物，不再自己捕猎觅食，hunting“捕猎”符合；eating“进食”、living“生活”、running“奔跑”不符合。 【16题详解】 句意：在南宁的一家动物园里，一只黑猩猩在看过人类扔石头之后，学会了朝游客扔石块。 黑猩猩是先观察，之后才学会这个动作，after“在……之后”符合先后逻辑；before“在……之前”、until“直到”、unless“除非”不符合。 【17题详解】 句意：最后，因为有人受伤，动物园不得不叫停这类活动。 有人受伤，所以动物园要停止该行为，stop“停止”符合；continue“继续”、encourage“鼓励”、record“记录”和语境冲突。 【18题详解】 句意：如今很多这类动物因为举止像人类，成为了网络网红。 全文围绕野生动物展开，animals“动物”对应后文；plants“植物”、visitors“游客”、zoos“动物园”话题不符。 【19题详解】 句意：但事实上，野生动物有着自身天然的习性，模仿人类的行为对它们或许是有害的。 前文提到强光、噪音会伤害黑猩猩，可知拟人化的行为对动物存在危害，harmful“有害的”符合；helpful“有益的”、useful“有用的”、safe“安全的”与原文意思相反。 【20题详解】 句意：可悲的是，他们只在意那些能让自己觉得有趣的瞬间。 根据“People share these videos online without thinking twice”可知作者对人们只顾玩乐、忽视动物痛苦持惋惜态度，sadly“可悲地”符合情感；bravely“勇敢地”、luckily“幸运地”、suddenly“突然地”不符合。 【21题详解】 句意：试想闪烁的灯光和嘈杂的声响会怎样影响早已习惯安静森林的动物。 固定搭配be used to表示“习惯于”，此处指动物长期适应安静的森林环境；strange“陌生的”、new“新的”、close“靠近的”不能搭配。 【22题详解】 句意：我们享受手机与音乐，但对于动物而言，这些东西会带来意料之外的危险。 灯光、噪音会给动物带来压力与伤害，也就是危险，danger“危险”符合；joy“欢乐”、food“食物”、hope“希望”不符合。 【23题详解】 句意：一些视频剪辑动物的动作，让它们看起来滑稽、像人一样，只为收获点赞。 网上剪辑趣味动物视频，目的一般是获取点赞，likes“点赞”符合网络场景；progress“进步”、help“帮助”、protection“保护”不符合。 【24题详解】 句意：如果一名爱好者每天刷这类视频，他很容易忽视隐藏在这些视频背后的伤害。 代词them指代前面的videos；him“他”、us“我们”、it“它”，单复数、指代对象不对。 【25题详解】 句意：当我们遇见野生动物，我们应当尊重它们自然的生存方式，而不是把它们当成玩具或者表演者。 后文提出保持合适距离、保护物种，核心就是尊重动物原本的生活，respect“尊重”符合；accept“接受”、explore“探索”、change“改变”不符合主旨。 五、阅读理解（共两节，20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Welcome to the Robot Show!

Although Collodi worked in many literary (文学的) fields, he is best known around the world as a children’s writer. His interest in writing for young people began in 1875, when he translated several French fairy tales. These stories encouraged him to create his own fairy tales and textbooks for teaching children. His most famous work, The Adventures of Pinocchio (《木偶奇遇记》), began as a short story. In 1881, Collodi sent a story about a wooden puppet to a friend who worked for a children’s magazine. He described it as “a bit of foolishness” and never imagined it would become so popular. So far, the story has been translated into more than 200 languages.

Actually, Matt, Joe and Karen got the three places. His father sighed and feared Gary’s mum would be upset. Gary went to his bedroom. It was covered with football pennants (三角锦旗) and player posters. He dreamed of becoming a footballer, but he felt disappointed. Soon he heard footsteps and someone knocked at his door. It was Matt. “Matt, what are you doing here?” said Gary. “We came to get you—me, Joe and Karen. Come and play some football with us. Joe and Karen are waiting downstairs. We’re still your friends, aren’t we?” It was true. Everything was just the same. They walked until they reached a street with railings on one side and warehouses (仓库) on the other two sides. No one came here after half past five. They could play without bothering (烦扰) anyone. Joe agreed to be goalkeeper. It took Gary three or four tries, but then the ball shot past Matt and Karen. Joe tried to catch the ball but he missed it. “Goal!” shouted Gary as the ball bounced off the door of the warehouse. Just then, Rick showed up and got Gary’s ball. He laughed at Gary, for a girl was chosen instead. Gary and his friends lost their desire to play. Later, Rick got in the car with his father, and they talked about Gary. “That boy Gary,” said Mr Page as he and Rick drove home, “he’s going to be just like his father. Useless.” “His dad was a footballer, wasn’t he?” said Rick. “I thought he had to stop because he had an injury (损伤).” “Who knows?” said Mr Page. “They say he had a knee injury. He was probably just a bad player and they threw him out of the team. Gary will be the same. His father can’t find a job and he can’t get into the Academy. You know the saying, ‘Like father, like son’.” Gary caught their conversation. The old saying echoed in his mind. Deep down, he feared that history might repeat itself, and his own football journey would end in disappointment, just like his father’s. ——Adapted from Mr Football 33. Why did Matt, Joe and Karen look for Gary? A. To tell him the selection result. B. To help him to study Math and English. C. To ask him to join a club. D. To comfort him and play football with him. 34. Where did Gary and his friends play football? A. At their school. B. On a street near some warehouses. C. In Gary’s house. D. At the Football Academy near his home. 35. What happened after Gary shouted “Goal”? A. They celebrated for long. B. Rick came and laughed at Gary. C. Gary wanted to give up football. D. Joe was hurt and cried. 36. What is Mr Page’s idea behind the underlined words “Who knows”? A. He believed Gary’s father hated football deep in his heart. B. He wanted to know if Gary’s father really got a knee injury. C. He thought Gary’s father was kicked out of the team for poor skills. D. He supposed Gary’s father gave up football because of a knee injury. 【答案】33. D 34. B 35. B 36. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Gary落选足球学院后心情低落，朋友前来安慰并陪他踢球，却遭遇Rick父子嘲讽的故事，探讨了友谊、挫折与他人评价对青少年心理的影响。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“We came to get you—me, Joe and Karen. Come and play some football with us.”可知，朋友们来找Gary是为了陪他踢球并安慰他。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They walked until they reached a street with railings on one side and warehouses on the other two sides.”可知，他们在一条靠近仓库的街道上踢球。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Just then, Rick showed up and got Gary’s ball.

Researchers at Cambridge University have discovered that the caterpillar which eats beeswax (蜂蜡), can also degrade (降解) plastic. ②Experiments show insects can break down (降解) plastic. They do it in the same way they take in beeswax. Each year, around 80 million tons of plastic are produced all over the world. Plastic is used to make shopping bags, food packaging, one-off raincoats and other things, but it can take hundreds of years to degrade completely. ③ ▲ . “The caterpillar will be the starting point. We need to understand the details about how this special process works. We hope to provide the technical ways to cut down the problem of plastic waste,” the scientist said. And the scientists who discovered it want to speed up the process of discovering the chemical secrets behind the natural degradation of plastic. They think something in the caterpillar—as well as the insect itself—might play a role in breaking down plastic. ④If the chemical process can be found out, it could lead to a solution to deal with plastic waste in the environment. “We are planning to put this finding into real use and get rid of (摆脱) plastic waste, working towards a solution to saving our oceans and rivers,” said the scientist. “However, we should not feel good to dump (丢弃) plastic on purpose in our environment just because we now know how to degrade it.” 37. Why do scientists think the caterpillar is the key to solving plastic pollution? A. Because it mainly eats beeswax. B. Because it grows fast. C. Because it can degrade plastic. D. Because it lives in plastic bags. 38. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE? A. Plastic is hardly used for food packaging. B. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to degrade fully. C. Beeswax helps insects produce plastic in a short time. D. About 80 million tons of plastic is broken down every year. 39. Which sentence can be put in the blank “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A. It is hard to collect enough caterpillars for further study B. Plastic pollution has become one of the most serious problems C. Scientists have found the secret chemicals inside the caterpillar D. However, caterpillars can make holes in a plastic bag in less than an hour 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It explains the steps of how caterpillars degrade plastic. B. Scientists are looking for ways to stop plastic pollution. C. Scientists found the key chemical process of degradation. D. Caterpillars may help solve the plastic pollution problem. 【答案】37. C 38. B 39. D 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家发现一种毛毛虫能够降解塑料，这一发现可能为解决塑料污染问题提供关键技术，同时也探讨了其原理、应用前景及注意事项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。第一段提到“the caterpillar which eats beeswax, can also degrade plastic”，科学家认为毛毛虫是解决塑料污染的关键，是因为它能降解塑料。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。第二段提到“it can take hundreds of years to degrade completely”，塑料完全降解需要数百年。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。第三段后文提到“The caterpillar will be the starting point. We need to understand the details about how this special process works.”，说明科学家要研究毛毛虫降解塑料的具体过程。横线处应填入一个关于毛毛虫降解塑料效率的句子，引出后文的研究需求。“However, caterpillars can make holes in a plastic bag in less than an hour”说明了毛毛虫降解塑料的高效性，与上下文衔接最自然。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段提到“A caterpillar that eats plastic bags could hold the key to solving plastic pollution, scientists say.“及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕毛毛虫可能帮助解决塑料污染问题展开，选项D概括最准确。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Teenage problems Teenagers often face different problems.

Some find it hard to catch up with the study pace.”可知，此处描述的是学业带来的压力，这自然会导致学生感到焦虑和疲惫。选项D“So it is easy for them to feel worried and tired.”承接上文，符合语境。 【43题详解】 空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Sometimes, teenagers have fights with friends. They may argue over small things or feel left out. The best way is to communicate with friends patiently.”可知，本段主要讲述的是交友方面的问题。选项F“Friendship difficulties”概括了本段内容，且与上文的“Schoolwork trouble”、下文的“Family relationship trouble”句式结构一致。 【44题详解】 根据空后的“They think that their parents cannot truly understand them. Sometimes parents push them too hard.”可知，此处描述的是青少年与父母之间的关系问题。选项B“Some teenagers have difficulty getting on with their parents.”概括了本段的主旨，符合语境。 【45题详解】 根据空前的“Just be confident and love yourself.”以及空后的“Teenage years are full of challenges, but don’t worry. By facing these problems bravely and taking action, teenagers will grow better.”可知，此处位于文章结尾，需要对全文进行总结，安抚青少年的情绪。选项C“It is normal for teenagers to meet all kinds of problems.”符合语境，起到总结全文并鼓励青少年的作用。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 六、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） A 阅读对话，从方框中选用恰当的单词或短语填空 (每个单词或短语只能用一次)。 come up with, drive, pity, drop out of school, gift A: Do you know Lucy?

I truly understand that hard work ____55____, and we should never give up. 【答案】51. attend 52. wasted 53. over time 54. winner 55. pays off 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者参加学校英语演讲比赛的经历，从最初的不自信到努力练习，最终获奖并感悟到努力终有回报的故事。 【51题详解】 句意：我的父母表扬了我的勇气，并同意在比赛那天去参加。固定搭配agree to do sth.意为“同意做某事”，不定式符号to后接动词原形。it指代上文的“English Speech Competition”，搭配动词attend，意为“参加”，符合语境。 【52题详解】 句意：起初，我一点也不自信，浪费了很多时间担心而不是练习。此处在and连接的后一分句中作谓语，句子时态为一般过去时，谓语动词需用过去式。根据“instead of practising”，此处表示浪费时间，填wasted，固定搭配waste time doing意为“浪费时间做某事”。 【53题详解】 句意：随着时间的推移，我取得了巨大的进步。根据“made great progress”可知，取得进步是一个渐进的过程，over time意为“随着时间的推移”，符合语境。 【54题详解】 句意：令我高兴的是，我成为了获胜者！定冠词the后需接名词，作系动词became的表语。根据上文“I gave a wonderful speech. To my joy”可知，作者赢了比赛，winner意为“获胜者”，符合语境。 【55题详解】 句意：我真正明白了努力终有回报，我们永远不应该放弃。that引导宾语从句，陈述客观事实用一般现在时。主语hard work为不可数名词，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。pays off意为“取得成功，得到回报”，符合语境。 七、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When he was born, each of Wyatt Shield’s hands had an extra finger. Doctors all agreed that his hands might not work ____56____ (good) without operations. His parents were worried that he wouldn’t be able to hold a pencil or dress ____57____ (he), so they decided to remove (切去) his extra fingers. When Wyatt was four years old, he went to hospital to meet with doctors. He ____58____ (have) three operations in all that year. His hands are now fully functional (功能完好的) and look just like everyone else’s. However, the experience of ____59____ (be) different impressed the child. By the time he was in the ____60____ (one) grade, a book idea burned inside him. Wyatt told his mother ____61____ the book. He wanted to write it to prove (证明) that little children can do big things and tell other children that it is OK to be different. Wyatt’s Big Adventures with Shriners ____62____ (record) by his mother last year. The book tells his self-growth, and ____63____ it was like to have his operations. A part of the proceeds (收益) ____64____ (go) to children’s medical charities in the future. For other parents whose children are born different, she has the advice, “Do what you can____65____ (support) them. Love them for who they are, and they will shine and surprise you every single day.” 【答案】56. well 57. himself 58. had 59. being 60. first 61. about 62. was recorded 63. what 64. will go 65. to support 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了男孩Wyatt出生时每只手都多长了一根手指，为了正常生活他接受了手术。这段经历让他萌生了写书的念头，他想以此证明小孩子也能做大事，并告诉大家“与众不同”也没关系。他的书在母亲的帮助下得以出版，他也希望借此鼓励其他与众不同的孩子。 【56题详解】 句意：医生们一致认为，如果不做手术，他的手可能无法很好地工作。观察空格所在的位置，前面是动词“work”，后面需要填入一个词来修饰这个动词，表示“工作得好”。括号里给出的是形容词“good”，因此这里要用它的副词形式，故填well。 【57题详解】 句意：他的父母担心他将无法自己拿铅笔或自己穿衣服。结合句意，这里表达的是“他自己穿衣服”。空格处在句中作动词“dress”的宾语，且主语是“he”，宾语指代主语本身，所以需要用反身代词。 【58题详解】 句意：那一年他总共做了三次手术。结合上下文中的时间线索“When Wyatt was four years old”和“that year”，可知这里描述的是过去发生的事情，时态需要用一般过去时，have的过去式是had。 【59题详解】 句意：然而，与众不同的经历给这个孩子留下了深刻的印象。观察空格的位置，“of”是介词，其后需要接动名词作宾语。结合语境，这里指“作为或处于不同状态”的经历，括号里给出的是be，其动名词形式为being。 【60题详解】 句意：到他上一年级的时候，一个写书的念头在他心中燃烧起来。结合句意，这里表示“一年级”，即“the first grade”。括号里给出的是基数词“one”，因此需要将其转换为序数词，故填first。 【61题详解】 句意：Wyatt告诉了他妈妈关于这本书的事。结合上下文，这里表示“关于这本书”，需要用到固定短语“tell sb. about sth.”，意为“告诉某人关于某事”，所以这里填介词about。 【62题详解】 句意：Wyatt的《与Shriners的大冒险》去年由他的母亲记录了下来。结合时间状语“last year”，可知时态为一般过去时；同时，句子的主语“Wyatt’s Big Adventures with Shriners”是这本书，它与动词record（记录）之间是被动关系，所以这里要用一般过去时的被动语态。 【63题详解】 句意：这本书讲述了他的自我成长，以及接受手术是什么样的感觉。观察句子结构，这里包含一个宾语从句“...it was like to have his operations”。结合固定句型“what it is like to do sth.”（做某事是什么感觉），此处需要用连接代词what来引导。 【64题详解】 句意：未来，部分收益将用于儿童医疗慈善事业。结合句中时间状语“in the future”可知，这里描述的是将来发生的事情，时态需要用一般将来时，will后接动词原形go，所以这里用will go。 【65题详解】 句意：做你能做的去支持他们。结合句意，这里表达的是“做你能做的事情（目的）是为了支持他们”。动词不定式在此处作目的状语，表示“为了……”，因此需要填to support。 八、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答问题，每题答案不超过8个单词。 Some people may think war drum performances are only for older people. But at Hongwen Middle School in Zhengding, Hebei, students have learnt to play the Changshan war drums since 2005. The art was added to the national Intangible Cultural Heritage list (国家级非物质文化遗产名录) in 2008. “Changshan war drumming is listed as traditional music,” said teacher Wang Pengmin, a fifth-generation inheritor (继承人) of the art. “Playing also includes steps, arm movements and jumps, so the course brings music and PE together perfectly.” In the very beginning, students learn about the drums’ history and how to read drum music.

Generations of children around the world have loved Collodi’s story about Pinocchio. Collodi was born in Florence, Italy. He became a professional (专业的) writer in his early twenties, with his articles appearing in local newspapers. He grew up during the Italian Risorgimento, the movement that led to Italy’s unification (统一) in the 19th century. To support his country, Collodi took part in the wars not only as a soldier, but also as a writer. He set up two newspapers and wrote short stories and reviews about social injustice (不公). Although Collodi worked in many literary (文学的) fields, he is best known around the world as a children’s writer. His interest in writing for young people began in 1875, when he translated several French fairy tales. These stories encouraged him to create his own fairy tales and textbooks for teaching children. His most famous work, The Adventures of Pinocchio (《木偶奇遇记》), began as a short story. In 1881, Collodi sent a story about a wooden puppet to a friend who worked for a children’s magazine. He described it as “a bit of foolishness” and never imagined it would become so popular. So far, the story has been translated into more than 200 languages. People have made many film versions of Pinocchio. The 1940 Disney film is one of the most famous film adaptations of the book. A new live-action film came out in 2022, and its visuals are amazing. 29. What did Collodi do to support his country? A. He translated 200 books. B. He made Pinocchio movies. C. He wrote textbooks for adults. D. He worked as a soldier and a writer. 30. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Collodi hated kids’ stories. B. Collodi became rich from French fairy tales. C.

Actually, Matt, Joe and Karen got the three places. His father sighed and feared Gary’s mum would be upset. Gary went to his bedroom. It was covered with football pennants (三角锦旗) and player posters. He dreamed of becoming a footballer, but he felt disappointed. Soon he heard footsteps and someone knocked at his door. It was Matt. “Matt, what are you doing here?” said Gary. “We came to get you—me, Joe and Karen. Come and play some football with us. Joe and Karen are waiting downstairs. We’re still your friends, aren’t we?” It was true. Everything was just the same. They walked until they reached a street with railings on one side and warehouses (仓库) on the other two sides. No one came here after half past five. They could play without bothering (烦扰) anyone. Joe agreed to be goalkeeper. It took Gary three or four tries, but then the ball shot past Matt and Karen. Joe tried to catch the ball but he missed it. “Goal!” shouted Gary as the ball bounced off the door of the warehouse. Just then, Rick showed up and got Gary’s ball. He laughed at Gary, for a girl was chosen instead. Gary and his friends lost their desire to play. Later, Rick got in the car with his father, and they talked about Gary. “That boy Gary,” said Mr Page as he and Rick drove home, “he’s going to be just like his father. Useless.” “His dad was a footballer, wasn’t he?” said Rick. “I thought he had to stop because he had an injury (损伤).” “Who knows?” said Mr Page. “They say he had a knee injury. He was probably just a bad player and they threw him out of the team. Gary will be the same. His father can’t find a job and he can’t get into the Academy. You know the saying, ‘Like father, like son’.” Gary caught their conversation. The old saying echoed in his mind. Deep down, he feared that history might repeat itself, and his own football journey would end in disappointment, just like his father’s. ——Adapted from Mr Football 33.

He supposed Gary’s father gave up football because of a knee injury. D ①“A caterpillar (毛毛虫) that eats plastic bags could hold the key to solving plastic pollution,” scientists say.

They do it in the same way they take in beeswax. Each year, around 80 million tons of plastic are produced all over the world. Plastic is used to make shopping bags, food packaging, one-off raincoats and other things, but it can take hundreds of years to degrade completely. ③ ▲ . “The caterpillar will be the starting point. We need to understand the details about how this special process works. We hope to provide the technical ways to cut down the problem of plastic waste,” the scientist said. And the scientists who discovered it want to speed up the process of discovering the chemical secrets behind the natural degradation of plastic. They think something in the caterpillar—as well as the insect itself—might play a role in breaking down plastic. ④If the chemical process can be found out, it could lead to a solution to deal with plastic waste in the environment. “We are planning to put this finding into real use and get rid of (摆脱) plastic waste, working towards a solution to saving our oceans and rivers,” said the scientist. “However, we should not feel good to dump (丢弃) plastic on purpose in our environment just because we now know how to degrade it.” 37. Why do scientists think the caterpillar is the key to solving plastic pollution? A. Because it mainly eats beeswax. B. Because it grows fast. C. Because it can degrade plastic. D. Because it lives in plastic bags. 38. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE? A. Plastic is hardly used for food packaging. B. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to degrade fully. C. Beeswax helps insects produce plastic in a short time. D. About 80 million tons of plastic is broken down every year. 39. Which sentence can be put in the blank “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A. It is hard to collect enough caterpillars for further study B. Plastic pollution has become one of the most serious problems C. Scientists have found the secret chemicals inside the caterpillar D. However, caterpillars can make holes in a plastic bag in less than an hour 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It explains the steps of how caterpillars degrade plastic. B. Scientists are looking for ways to stop plastic pollution. C. Scientists found the key chemical process of degradation. D. Caterpillars may help solve the plastic pollution problem. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Teenage problems Teenagers often face different problems.

From the third class, they start playing. “Playing drums together is interesting and relaxing .” said 17-year-old Du Ruoxuan. The students who join the school drum team take pride (骄傲) in their local culture. The team takes part in the Shijiazhuang Drum King Competition and other events across the country. They perform together to learn the value of teamwork. “It’s easier to play alone than to keep the whole team on the same beat,” said one of the team members, Yang Ruoyin, 17. “A great performance takes lots of practice and trust between teammates.” Another team member, Bu Xinfei, said, “We are proud of teamwork.
