“It’s incredible. I never thought my dream would come true so soon,” Chinese ballet dancer Chun Wai Chan recalled the scene when he got the news in May that he was promoted to the principal dancer with New York City Ballet (NYCB), the company’s first Chinese and fourth Asian principal dancer in 74 years.
Born in Huizhou City, South China’s Guangdong Province in 1992, Chan has become attached to dance since childhood. However, his parents preferred him to be a doctor or a lawyer in the future. The uncompromising boy then wrote a seven-page letter to his parents describing his determination to study dance.
Thanks to the sincere letter, Chan finally gained the support of his family, and at the age of 12, he was admitted to Guangzhou Arts School, marking the start of his dream-seeking journey. Chan’s first turning point in life came at the age of 18, when he was a finalist in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne, which earned him a full scholarship to study with Houston Ballet’s second company, Houston Ballet II. Two years later, Chan joined Houston Ballet and became a principal in 2017. There, he gained a reputation as a confident and sensitive performer. In 2020, he appeared as a contestant on the Chinese television show Dance Smash on Hunan Satellite TV, which gained him a large following.
Chan returned to New York last year, and was finally promoted to the principal dancer with the NYCB in May this year. He attributes his success to his passion, hard work, concentration, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence.
In China, Chan’s success has become a source of pride. News of his promotion to principal dancer was widely circulated, and he has been featured repeatedly in the Chinese media, under headlines like “The Ballet Knight” and “After Dance Smash, he conquered New York.”
After performances audience members sometimes tell Chan that they have never seen Asian dancers in leading roles. He has been moved to hear young dancers of color say his example has given them hope for their own careers. “I used to think I danced just for myself,” he said. “Now I’m dancing for my family, for the audience, for the whole dance community.”
4. What can we learn about Chan
A. He is the first Asian principal dancer.
B. He is fond of dancing when he was young.
C. His parents have supported him from the beginning.
D. He gained the popularity in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne.

Horror movies are designed to cause seemingly bad emotions — shock, fear and disgust (厌恶). Yet many people want to sit through those films. Why Clasen, who directs the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark, made a survey of more than 250 American horror fans with his team, and the responses of those participants revealed three types of fans.
The first type felt great and were in high spirits. The second type reported some negative reactions to scary movies, and some even had nightmares at first, but they explained that they were feeling like they learned something about themselves at last. The third type of fans seemed to use horror to deal with bad feelings and events in real life. They supported statements such as “Watching horror movies makes me realize that everything in my own life is OK.”
According to previous studies, thrill seekers, who often seek out new and intense experiences, tend to be horror fans. Men also seemed to be slightly bigger horror fans than women. Clasen’s teammates didn’t think so. “They are stereotypes (老套),” they said. Men are less likely to admit in surveys that they are afraid of horror. Likewise, researchers think it’s unfair to paint all horror fans as thrill seekers. What may influence how much people like horror is something called the need for affections (情感). “People differ on that — how much emotion they want in their lives,” Clasen explained.
After watching a horror movie, you could be left unsettled and anxious, or you have nightmares, but it may actually help you become more prepared in real life. Horror fans reported lower levels of distress (忧虑) during the pandemic, for instance. “That’s because horror movies let people practise negative emotions in a safe setting,” Clasen said. “That way, when it comes to scary situations in real life, you know how to react quickly and correctly.”
Good or not, scary movies aren’t for everyone. And that’s OK. “Monster movies are good,” sociologist Margee Ker r said, “because you know that they’re not real.” “If you are not ready to watch a horror movie, there are other ways to test yourself. One is writing your own horror-movie story. If you are writing a story about something that you are afraid of, you are taking control of it,” she explained. “That can be really helpful.”
8. How did the second type of horror fans respond after watching horror movies
A. The movies made them feel worried about their real life for some time.
B. The movies stopped the fans from having unpleasant dreams.
C. The fans could have a better understanding of themselves.
D. The fans felt fantastic and were in high spirits.
9. What do the researchers mainly want to express in paragraph 3
A. The reason why people need affections. B. The reason why people love horror.
C. The concept of thrill seekers. D. The features of horror fans.
10. Why is the pandemic mentioned in paragraph 4
A. Horror movies can help people deal with scary situations quickly and correctly.
B. Horror movies can make people have a false judgement about scary situations.
C. Horror movies can help people get rid of negative emotions in real life.
D. Horror movies can make people unsettled and anxious in real life.
11. How can creating a horror story affect people
A. They can bring their sense of excitement under control.
B. They can bring their sense of fear under control.
C. They can take control of their sense of sadness.
D. They can take control of their sense of pride.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The second type reported some negative reactions to scary movies, and some even had nightmares at first, but they explained that they were feeling like they learned something about themselves at last.(第二种类型的人对恐怖电影有一些负面反应，有些人一开始甚至做噩梦，但他们解释说，他们觉得他们终于了解了自己)”可知，第二类恐怖迷看完恐怖电影后的反应是可以更好地了解自己。故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Likewise, researchers think it’s unfair to paint all horror fans as thrill seekers. What may influence how much people like horror is something called the need for affections (情感). “People differ on that — how much emotion they want in their lives,” Clasen explained.(同样，研究人员认为，把所有恐怖片爱好者都描绘成寻求刺激的人是不公平的。可能影响人们对恐怖片喜爱程度的是一种被称为情感需求的东西。“人们在这一点上是不同的——他们在生活中需要多少情感，”克拉森解释说)”可知，研究者在第三段主要想表达人们喜欢恐怖电影的原因。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Horror fans reported lower levels of distress during the pandemic, for instance.“That’s because horror movies let people practise negative emotions in a safe setting,” Clasen said. “That way, when it comes to scary situations in real life, you know how to react quickly and correctly.”(例如，恐怖爱好者报告说，在大流行期间，他们的痛苦程度较低。克拉森说：“这是因为恐怖电影让人们在一个安全的环境中练习消极情绪。这样，当遇到现实生活中的可怕情况时，你就知道如何快速、正确地做出反应。”)”可推知，第四段提到疫情是为了说明恐怖片可以帮助人们快速正确地处理可怕的情况。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“One is writing your own horror-movie story. If you are writing a story about something that you are afraid of, you are taking control of it(一个是写你自己的恐怖电影故事。如果你正在写一个关于你害怕的事情的故事，你正在控制它)”可知，创造一个恐怖故事可以控制自己的恐惧感，从而影响人们。故选B。

A lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business. But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments, which stops many people. However, an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step. They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans and lorries, and even horse trucks.
Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs. These costs, which consist primarily of, the vehicle and any required equipment, usually come to about only 5,000- 10,000. With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.
The first entrepreneurs (企业家) to do this have been in the food business. The mobile food vendor trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe. The success of these street food vans has inspired other entrepreneurs to consider starting out on wheels.
UK entrepreneurs could take inspiration from the US where, today, there are vehicles that sell flowers, shoes, clothes and all kinds of specialty food items. There are also mobile businesses that provide services, such as hair styling, pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices. Mobile retail is not without problems, however. Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with. These business owners, however, feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the US, the mobile food business alone generates an average annual revenue of $857 million.
Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success, some successful mobile entrepreneurs move on to a brick-and-mortar business. Others are satisfied to stay mobile. As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.
12. What’s the major cause for the rise of mobile business
A. High profit. B. Strong interest. C. Low investment. D. Convenient transport.
13. How does the author prove the advantages of the mobile business in paragraph 2
A. By quoting a famous saying. B. By giving an example
C. By providing an explanation. D. By making a comparison.
14. Which of the following will make it harder for the owners to run the business
A. The vehicle care. B. The business permit.
C. The terrible storm. D. The insufficient supply.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of mobile business
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Neutral.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今移动生意的兴起，解释了背后的原因，移动生意面临的挑战以及未来前景等。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs.(从小规模开始有其优势，其中最重要的是启动成本相对较小)”可知，移动生意兴起的主要原因是投资少。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.(在如此严格控制成本的情况下，移动生意通常会在一两年内实现收支平衡；相比之下，实体企业的成功要慢得多，往往在头两年内就失败了。简而言之，移动生意的风险相对较低)”可推知，作者在第二段通过比较证明移动生意的优势。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with.(天气、不断上涨的燃料价格，以及找到一个创业的地方，这些都是移动创业者必须应对的挑战)”可知，可怕的风暴会使企业主更难做生意。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.(作为独立业务或商店的延伸，移动零售在当前经济时代具有巨大的未来潜力)”可推知，作者对移动生意的未来持积极态度。故选B。

86. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you’re 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother’s advice didn’t work.
On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch Who would I talk to Not to mention how would I make friends when I didn’t even speak the language My heartbeat quickened and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.
When the teacher introduced me to the class as the “American girl”, 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, and others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn’t speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn’t sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren’t sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them After all I was the first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers.
注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then came the first class——Chinese painting.

【答案】Para1：
（版本一事情搞糟）Then came the first class-Chinese painting. The teacher showed us how to use a brush to paint bamboo on a piece of white paper. Then all the other students got down to work. However, it was quite difficult for me. How could I hold the brush and made it go as I wished Hesitating for a while, I tried dipping the brush into the ink bottle. When I took it out, drops of black ink fell on the white paper. There was no bamboo, but big black dots! So embarrassed was I that I felt blood rushing to my face.
（版本二无从下手）Then came the first class-Chinese painting. To tell the truth, I made every bit of effort to catch up with the teacher’s words, but still couldn’t understand what he was instructing at all. Then all the students were required to finish a piece of work on their own. Seeing those strange drawing tools and the blank paper on the desk, I felt really stressed because I had no idea where to start, also afraid of others laughing at me. I sat rooted in my seat, my face flushing with embarrassment
Para2:
As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, my deskmate, gave me a warm smile. He seemed to understand my awkward situation, so he turned to me and carefully explained what I should do with fluent English. With his patient guidance, I managed to finish my first Chinese painting! Simple as it was, the teacher praised my work in front of the class. I couldn’t conceal my pleasure, and joy danced all the way to my heart, for I knew this would be a wonderful beginning of a new school life, just starting with a warm and friendly smile.

“It’s incredible. I never thought my dream would come true so soon,” Chinese ballet dancer Chun Wai Chan recalled the scene when he got the news in May that he was promoted to the principal dancer with New York City Ballet (NYCB), the company’s first Chinese and fourth Asian principal dancer in 74 years.
Born in Huizhou City, South China’s Guangdong Province in 1992, Chan has become attached to dance since childhood. However, his parents preferred him to be a doctor or a lawyer in the future. The uncompromising boy then wrote a seven-page letter to his parents describing his determination to study dance.
Thanks to the sincere letter, Chan finally gained the support of his family, and at the age of 12, he was admitted to Guangzhou Arts School, marking the start of his dream-seeking journey. Chan’s first turning point in life came at the age of 18, when he was a finalist in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne, which earned him a full scholarship to study with Houston Ballet’s second company, Houston Ballet II. Two years later, Chan joined Houston Ballet and became a principal in 2017. There, he gained a reputation as a confident and sensitive performer. In 2020, he appeared as a contestant on the Chinese television show Dance Smash on Hunan Satellite TV, which gained him a large following.
Chan returned to New York last year, and was finally promoted to the principal dancer with the NYCB in May this year. He attributes his success to his passion, hard work, concentration, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence.
In China, Chan’s success has become a source of pride. News of his promotion to principal dancer was widely circulated, and he has been featured repeatedly in the Chinese media, under headlines like “The Ballet Knight” and “After Dance Smash, he conquered New York.”
After performances, audience members sometimes tell Chan that they have never seen Asian dancers in leading roles. He has been moved to hear young dancers of color say his example has given them hope for their own careers. “I used to think I danced just for myself,” he said. “Now I’m dancing for my family, for the audience, for the whole dance community.”
4. What can we learn about Chan
A. He is the first Asian principal dancer.
B. He is fond of dancing when he was young.
C His parents have supported him from the beginning.
D. He gained the popularity in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne.
5. What does the underlined word “uncompromising” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Fearless. B. Cautious. C. Thoughtful. D. Determined.
6. Which of the following can best describe Chan
A. Generous and considerate. B. Passionate and devoted.
C. Warm-hearted and ambitious. D. Perseverant and talented
7. Chan changed his opinion about the significance of dancing because ________.
A. he got a lot of praises from the audience B. he had been promoted to principal dancer
C. he realized his dance inspired other dancers D. he received persistent support from his family
C
Horror movies are designed to cause seemingly bad emotions — shock fear and disgust (厌恶). Yet many people want to sit through those films. Why Clasen, who directs the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark, made a survey of more than 250 American horror fans with his team, and the responses of those participants revealed three types of fans.
The first type felt great and were in high spirits. The second type reported some negative reactions to scary movies, and some even had nightmares at first, but they explained that they were feeling like they learned something about themselves at last. The third type of fans seemed to use horror to deal with bad feelings and events in real life. They supported statements such as “Watching horror movies makes me realize that everything in my own life is OK.”
According to previous studies, thrill seekers, who often seek out new and intense experiences, tend to be horror fans. Men also seemed to be slightly bigger horror fans than women. Clasen’s teammates didn’t think so. “They are stereotypes (老套),” they said. Men are less likely to admit in surveys that they are afraid of horror. Likewise, researchers think it’s unfair to paint all horror fans as thrill seekers. What may influence how much people like horror is something called the need for affections (情感). “People differ on that — how much emotion they want in their lives,” Clasen explained.
After watching a horror movie, you could be left unsettled and anxious, or you have nightmares, but it may actually help you become more prepared in real life. Horror fans reported lower levels of distress (忧虑) during the pandemic, for instance. “That’s because horror movies let people practise negative emotions in a safe setting,” Clasen said. “That way, when it comes to scary situations in real life, you know how to react quickly and correctly.”
Good or not, scary movies aren’t for everyone. And that’s OK. “Monster movies are good,” sociologist Margee Ker r said, “because you know that they’re not real.” “If you are not ready to watch a horror movie, there are other ways to test yourself. One is writing your own horror-movie story. If you are writing a story about something that you are afraid of, you are taking control of it,” she explained. “That can be really helpful.”
8. How did the second type of horror fans respond after watching horror movies
A. The movies made them feel worried about their real life for some time.
B. The movies stopped the fans from having unpleasant dreams.
C. The fans could have a better understanding of themselves.
D. The fans felt fantastic and were in high spirits.
9. What do the researchers mainly want to express in paragraph 3
A. The reason why people need affections. B. The reason why people love horror.
C. The concept of thrill seekers. D. The features of horror fans.
10. Why is the pandemic mentioned in paragraph 4
A. Horror movies can help people deal with scary situations quickly and correctly.
B. Horror movies can make people have a false judgement about scary situations.
C. Horror movies can help people get rid of negative emotions in real life.
D. Horror movies can make people unsettled and anxious in real life.
11. How can creating a horror story affect people
A. They can bring their sense of excitement under control.
B. They can bring their sense of fear under control.
C. They can take control of their sense of sadness.
D. They can take control of their sense of pride.
D
A lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business. But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments, which stops many people. However, an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step. They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans and lorries, and even horse trucks.
Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs. These costs, which consist primarily of, the vehicle and any required equipment, usually come to about only 5,000- 10,000. With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.
The first entrepreneurs (企业家) to do this have been in the food business. The mobile food vendor trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe. The success of these street food vans has inspired other entrepreneurs to consider starting out on wheels.
UK entrepreneurs could take inspiration from the US where, today, there are vehicles that sell flowers, shoes, clothes and all kinds of specialty food items. There are also mobile businesses that provide services, such as hair styling, pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices. Mobile retail is not without problems, however. Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with. These business owners, however, feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the US, the mobile food business alone generates an average annual revenue of $857 million.
Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success, some successful mobile entrepreneurs move on to a brick-and-mortar business. Others are satisfied to stay mobile. As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.
12. What’s the major cause for the rise of mobile business
A. High profit. B. Strong interest. C. Low investment. D. Convenient transport.
13. How does the author prove the advantages of the mobile business in paragraph 2
A. By quoting a famous saying. B. By giving an example
C. By providing an explanation. D. By making a comparison.
14. Which of the following will make it harder for the owners to run the business
A. The vehicle care. B. The business permit.
C. The terrible storm. D. The insufficient supply.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of mobile business
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Neutral.

86. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you’re 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother’s advice didn’t work.
On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch Who would I talk to Not to mention how would I make friends when I didn’t even speak the language My heartbeat quickened and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.
When the teacher introduced me to the class as the “American girl”, 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, and others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn’t speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn’t sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren’t sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them After all I was the first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers.
注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
