Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral
Chinese state media has praised a viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and fleeing the British Museum to make its way back home.
The set of three short videos, entitled Escape from the British Museum, shows the teapot turning into a young woman in a green dress, who then engages a London-based Chinese journalist to help her reunite with her family. It appears to have struck a chord (弦) in China after first being released by independent v loggers on Douyin. By Monday evening, it had reportedly received more than 310 million views. The plot line taps into growing Chinese criticism of the British Museum after reports last month that more than 1,500 priceless objects, including gold jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, were missing, stolen or damaged.
In August the state media Global Times called for the return of Chinese artifacts from the museum “free of charge” in the wake of the controversy. “The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that ‘foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum’,” it said. It strongly supported the video series for touching on a “powerful message” about the importance of cultural heritage and reflecting “Chinese people’s desiring for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics.”
State broadcaster CCTV also gave the short films a glowing review saying: “We are very pleased to see Chinese young people are passionate about history and tradition... We are also looking forward to the early return of Chinese artifacts that have been displayed overseas.”
The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. The new three-part show has triggered a wave of nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative plot that reduced them to tears by showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see pandas and watch a flag-raising ceremony on Tiananmen Square.

Powerful demand for Huawei products is fueling investor interest in the shares of its suppliers, which have resisted declines in the broader mainland Chinese stock (股票) market.
Expectations that the Chinese technology company may continue to see strong sales for recently launched products are sending stocks of some of Huawei’s suppliers to record highs.
Analysts say the successful launch of the M7 car model by Huawei-backed electric-vehicle brand Aito could see order books continue to swell, based on the response to the launch during a national holiday known as the Golden Week.
Shares of Seres Group, an Aito partner, and Ningbo Shenglong Automotive Powertrain System, a car-parts manufacturer, have risen by the 10% daily limit on the Shanghai Stock Exchange this week since the mainland markets reopened for trading after the holiday. The benchmark (基准) Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0. 7% in Tuesday trading.
“Aito’s sales have been propelled by the new M7 model, up sharply compared with monthly sales of below 10,000 units as of August,” Shengang Securities analyst Xute Cao said in a note.
“Sales in the fourth quarter are expected to improve significantly on month,” Cao added.
Separately, stocks of Huawei’s component suppliers have also gained following the launch of the Mate 60 smartphone model in late September.
Ofilm Group advanced 9. 9% on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on Tuesday and has, gained 21% so far this week, while Vanchip(Tianjin) Technology rose as much as 10%, and has added around 8% this week. By contrast, the technology-heavy Shenzhen Stock Exchange closed down 0.4% Tuesday.
“We sense that investor interest in the smartphone supply chain has increased after iPhone and Mate 60 launch and anticipation of smartphone demand bottoming, “ Citigroup analyst Kyna Wong said in a note after the bank’s recent meeting with institutional investors, about China’s tech sector.
“Huawei’s return could have implications on market share and competition in the tech-hardware sector,” Wong said.
“Component makers could benefit from restarting spec (规格) upgrade and operating leverage (运营杠杆) from volume growth ( regardless of market-share shift), “ Wong said.

Before he left China in 1986, Che Zhao Sheng’s teacher Said to him, “After you go to the United States, share some of our Chinese culture with them if you have a chance.” Today, more than three decades later, the student is fulfilling his teacher’s dream. Che has been appointed as the specialist gardener for the penjing court in the newly expanded Chinese Garden at the Huntington Gardens in San Marino.
The court is composed of winding paths, whitewashed walls and occasional pieces of Taihu rock imported from Lake Tai in China. Che is busy displaying the penjing for the opening ceremony.
Born in Guangzhou, China, Che started studying penjing when he was 26. He practiced with Lu Zhi Quan, the son of noted master Lu Xue Ming, in Guangzhou, and later became a student of Master Lu himself. In 1986, Che immigrated to the United States, eventually settling down in San Gabriel. At first, he started as a volunteer at the Huntington Gardens, helping to tend to a small collection of black pine penjing.
“When we began building the Chinese Garden,” says Jim Folsom, director of the garden, “we were looking for someone who knew penjing. So it was a bit of luck we knew Mr. Che. He’s the first specialist gardener we hired for the Chinese Garden.”
That was more than a decade ago. Today, Che both develops new penjing and tends to the ones in the Huntington’s collection. When the Chinese Garden opens Friday, about 30 will be seen in the court. Eventually, about twice that number will be on display. At least half of them have been cultivated by Che.
Americans may be more familiar with bonsai, the Japanese version of penjing. Bonsai came to Japan from China around 1200. Over time, it developed its own standards and techniques.
“Usually bonsai focuses on individual plant,” Bloom says. “whereas penjing typically involves multiple plants that have a landscape-like setting with rocks and maybe water.”
9．What can we learn from the text
A．Che started studying penjing relatively late.
B．The garden hired Che due to his teachers fame.
C．Che volunteered to expand the garden in the 1980s.
D．The garden was well-known for its penjing in 1986.
10．What does the word “cultivated” underlined in paragraph 5 mean
A．Bought.
B．Hired.
C．Decorated.
D．Developed.
11．What can we know about bonsai
A．It is a Chinese version of penjing.
B．It has longer history than penjing.
C．It is suitable to be displayed alone.
D．It has to be surrounded with rocks.
12．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A．To show China’s influence on Japan.
B．To introduce a Chinese specialist gardener.
C．To compare two related gardening techniques.
D．To announce the opening of a Chinese garden in the US.
【答案】9．A 10．D 11．C 12．B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了Chinese Garden聘任盆景专家车兆生为盆景庭院的专业园丁。
9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Born in Guangzhou, China, Che started studying penjing when he was 26. (他出生于中国广州，26岁时开始学习盆景。)”可知，车兆生开始学盆景相对较晚。故选A项。
10．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在段“Today, Che both develops new penjing and tends to the ones in the Huntington’s collection. When the Chinese Garden opens Friday, about 30 will be seen in the court. Eventually, about twice that number will be on display. At least half of them have been cultivated by Che. (如今，车既开发了新的盆景，也致力于亨廷顿收藏的盆景。当中国花园周五开放时，大约有30盆盆景将在庭院展出。最终，展出的展品数量将是这个数字的两倍。其中至少有一半是车cultivated的。)”指代关系可知，划线词前主语“half of them”是指“盆景”，结合车的职业可推知，这些盆景是车“栽培、培育”的，cultivated与developed同义。故选D项。
11．推理判断题。根据第七段““Usually bonsai focuses on individual plant,” Bloom says. “whereas penjing typically involves multiple plants that have a landscape-like setting with rocks and maybe water.” (布鲁姆说：“通常bonsai只关注单一植物。而penjing通常包括多种植物，它们有一个类似景观的环境，有岩石，可能还有水。”)”可知，bonsai与penjing不同，它专注于单一植物，所以适合单独展示。故选C项。
12．推理判断。通读全文，结合第一段“Before he left China in 1986, Che Zhao Sheng’s teacher Said to him, “After you go to the United States, share some of our Chinese culture with them if you have a chance.” Today, more than three decades later, the student is fulfilling his teacher’s dream. Che has been appointed as the specialist gardener for the penjing court in the newly expanded Chinese Garden at the Huntington Gardens in San Marino. (1986年，车兆生离开中国之前，他的老师对他说：“你去美国后，如果有机会，和他们分享一些我们的中国文化。”30多年后的今天，这位学生正在实现他老师的梦想。他被任命为圣马力诺亨廷顿花园新扩建的中国花园盆景庭院的专业园丁。)”可知，作者在文中主要报道了盆景专家车兆生，他被聘任为中国花园盆景庭院的专业园丁。故选B项。

In February of 2022, Walter Orthmann was officially included into the Guinness Book of Records for having the longest career in the same company. On April 19, he turned 100, but the loyal (忠诚的) employee doesn’t plan to retire from the only company he has ever worked for.
Walter began working for Industrias Renaux S.A．, a textile company in Brusque, when he was only 15 years old. He began as an assistant in the shipping department, but over the years, he was raised to the sales manager. During his 84-year-long career, Walter went on sales trips all over the world.
“You have to like to work. I started to work with that willingness and fighting spirit,” Walter Orthmann said, when asked what kept him going for over eight decades. “You can’t just do any job to say that you are working. That doesn’t work. You’re not going to be able to stand it.”
Recalling his beginnings with his company, Orthmann said that there were no computers, phones weren’t used at the company, and texts had to be typed on a typewriter and mailed. There was no public lighting, the streets were just dirt, which became muddy when it rained. There was no running water, and each house had its own well.
Everything is much easier today, Orthmann admits. All you need is a mobile phone and an internet connection, and you can do business from anywhere in the world. It’s thanks to technology that he is able to continue working, as he no longer travels like he used to.
Asked what advice he would give people dreaming of staying active and working late into their lives, Orthmann told Brazilian news site Globo: “Don’t be angry, do everything laughing. Just do what you like to do. Don’t have enemies. Apologize. Live calmly. Life is just a passage here on Earth, enjoy it and do what you want.”

14．推理判断题。根据第四段“Recalling his beginnings with his company, Orthmann said that there were no computers, phones weren’t used at the company, and texts had to be typed on a typewriter and mailed.

Mu Sa, a livestream host of the Hui ethnic group from Zhongning, Ningxi a Hui autonomous region, demonstrated how the Internet had transformed many young unemployed people into useful talents contributing to society.
After graduating from university majoring in sociology, Mu worked as an office clerk in Shanghai, a marketing assistant in Beijing and a data analyst in Hangzhou. Each time he struggled to realize his dream in big cities. Mu returned home at 25 after losing his job during the COVID-19 pandemic in November 2021.
However, he was not overcome by his failures and quickly lifted himself up. Mu decided to pick up his cell phone and begin creating short videos about local people's daily lives at home and uploading them online.
A video clip showing his mother cooking local food turned out to be a surprise hit. Even his mother was shocked that so many viewers, who commented that the video aroused memories of their own moms and hometowns, could be interested in a daily routine.
Mu said it was the success of this video clip that inspired him to carry on. He gradually found that village-related content was popular among his followers. “The more local the content, the more universal its appeal is,” he said. Mu started promoting local specialties on his account on April 1 last year, which turned out to be another success.
Ma Rui, a middle school classmate of Mu's, also posted about local life on his social media, which had 150,000 followers. He helped Mu with framing, composition, transitions and music.
Apart from his rural angle, Mu also attributed the popularity of his short videos to the empathetic effects they produced in the viewers, particularly young people. “The uncertainty of the future often makes young people feel confused to varying degrees,” he said. “I gave my answer to the confusion with my own practical actions: There is not a uniform norm of life for young people, including college graduates. Dreams will lead everyone to where they should go.”
17．What is the direct reason for Mu Sa to start creating short videos
A．His strong interest in sociological major. B．His unemployment due to the pandemic.

18．How did Ma Rui help Mu Sa with his videos
A．By shooting the videos for him. B．By producing music for the videos.
C．By promoting the videos on social media. D．By providing assistance in making videos.
19．What does Mu Sa believe in according to the text
A．There is no regular formula for success.
B．Short videos should be centered on rural life.
C．Influencers should show pity for the viewers.
D．The young are supposed to experience hardship.
20．What would be the best title for this text
A．Assistance from friends ensured success B．Videos about farmers gained popularity

Zach Conti has been taking up various jobs for four years so he could go to school. To get by and pay the bills, he had to sell his plasma, something he wouldn’t have to do if he had a scholarship.
Unfortunately, Eastern Michigan University could not give any more scholarships, according to the coach of the university’s football team, Chris Creighton. He shared that they’re at 85 scholarships and no matter how many times he went to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to apply for another one, the answer was no. Luckily, a teammate Dooley, who regards Conti as a family member, was willing to give up his scholarship and give it to Conti.
When asked why he made such a decision, Dooley mentioned he did it because he had seen Conti grow over the years. Seeing him walk away from something that he loves did not sit well with him. In his eyes, giving up his scholarship so Conti can stay and play means everything. For Conti, football was something he really loved, so ever since he got to school, he did whatever it took to stay here and stay in a good position with academics and football and everything.
When the scholarship was presented to him, Conti said he was so thankful for Dooley for his kindness and generosity though he did not expect such a big sacrifice (牺牲) from him. Creighton said he had never seen anything like that before and he was comforted by Dooley’s good deed. Dooley repeated he would do it again in a heartbeat and he hoped to help Conti some more along the way. “I’m proud of what he has become and cannot wait to see what he does on the field,” added Dooley.
21．Why did Zach Conti do many jobs
A．To raise family. B．To gain life skills.
C．To earn a scholarship. D．To afford the school fees.
22．What drove Dooley to give up his scholarship
A．Sense of responsibility. B．Willingness to help others.

B．He was worried about his college admission.
C．He showed great sympathy for Dooley.
D．He spared no effort to achieve his goal.

Seeing him walk away from something that he loves did not sit well with him. In his eyes, giving up his scholarship so Conti can stay and play means everything.(当被问及为什么做出这样的决定时，Dooley说，他这样做是因为他看到了Conti多年来的成长。看到他离开他所爱的东西，他很不舒服。在他看来，放弃奖学金让Conti留下来踢球意味着一切)”可推知，Dooley想要帮助Conti，让Dooley放弃了奖学金。故选B项。
23．细节理解题。根据第三段“For Conti, football was something he really loved, so ever since he got to school, he did whatever it took to stay here and stay in a good position with academics and football and everything.(对Conti来说，足球是他真正热爱的东西，所以自从他来到学校，他尽一切努力留在这里，在学术、足球和一切方面保持良好的地位)”可知，Conti尽一切努力留在这里，为了能踢足球，所以他不遗余力地实现他的目标。故选D项。

Creighton said he had never seen anything like that before and he was comforted by Dooley’s good deed. Dooley repeated he would do it again in a heartbeat and he hoped to help Conti some more along the way.(当奖学金颁发给他时，Conti说他非常感谢Dooley的善良和慷慨，尽管他没有想到他会做出这么大的牺牲。Creighton说，他以前从未见过这样的事情，Dooley的善举让他感到安慰。Dooley重申他会立即再次这样做，并希望在接下来的路上继续帮助Conti)”以及纵观全文可知，这个故事表达的内容是：在他人需要的时候伸出援手。故选A项。

In this age of cell phones, text messages and computer keyboards, one Scottish school has returned to basics. It’s teaching children the ignored art of writing with a fountain pen. There is no clicking of keyboards in most classrooms at the Mary Erskine and Stewart’s Melville Junior School, although there is a full range of facilities (设施) for computer lessons and technology isn’t being ignored. The school’s headmaster believes the old-fashioned pens have helped strengthen the academic performance and self-respect of his 1,200 pupils.
“The pens improve the quality of work because they force the children to take care, and better work improves self-respect”, headmaster Bryan Lewis said. “Proper handwriting is as relevant today as it ever has been.” Students as young as 7 have been instructed to give up their ballpoint pens and begin to deal with its more artful predecessor. By the time they reach grade five, at age 9, they are expected to write mainly with fountain pens. Lewis said the school’s 7- and 8-year-olds use fountain pens for 80-90 percent of their work, returning to pencils for such subjects as math. “I don’t see fountain pens as old-fashioned or out of date. Modern fountain pens are beautiful to use. It’s not like in the old days of broken metal points and dirtying writing paper,” Lewis said. “We have a particular writing style and we have developed it very carefully and found a way that allows left-and right- handed people to write without dirtying paper.”
Some people argue that handwriting is becoming less important because of the growing use of cell phone text messaging and typing on computers, but the school disagrees. “We talk of the paperless office and the paperless world, but this is not true,” Lewis said. “You still need to have proper handwriting skills.”
25．The Scottish school in the passage _____.

Russia is launching a new module (舱) for the International Space Station(ISS), after more than a decade of delays. The Nauka module is set to lift off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on top of a Proton-M rocket at around 15:00 GMT today, along with a new robotic arm for the station created by the European Space Agency.
The ISS is composed of modules and equipment from different space agencies including Europe, Japan and Canada, but the major part of the station is composed of two main sections, a Russian part and a US part. At 13 meters long and weighing more than 20 tonnes, Nauka, also called the Multipurpose Laboratory Module, will be among the largest in Russia’s half.
After launch, Nauka will take eight days to reach the ISS. Once attached, it will act as a new centre for the Russian part of the station. “It’s a science laboratory, and it also provides a lot of important service systems,” says Anatoly Zak, editor of a website. Planned research includes biological and materials science experiments. “It’s a step in making the Russian part more independent (from the US part).” This includes a new toilet inside the module and sleeping rooms for the crew.
The launch of Nauka has been a long time coming, with construction of the module beginning in the 1990s. Technical and supply issues since then, such as the loss of components from Ukraine following the Russian annexation (兼并) of Crimea in 2014, have seen development stumble (蹒跚而行). “It’s much more complex than anything the Russian space programme has tried to build in the last few years,” says Zak. Russia’s last module — Rassvet — was carried to the ISS by a US spacecraft in 2010.
29．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A．The size of the ISS.
B．The major part of the ISS.
C．The formation of the ISS.
D．Some information about Nauka.
30．What can we say about Nauka

In summer the air in Seville is sweet with the scent of oranges. They look pretty on the trees but once they fall, the streets become sticky with juice and black with flies. The 5,700 tonnes of bitter fruit the city’s 48,000 trees deposit on the streets are a hazard for pedestrians (行人) and a headache for the city’s cleaning department.
Now a project has been launched to produce an entirely different kind of juice from the unwanted oranges: electricity. Seville is running a pilot project to use the methane (甲烷) produced as the fruit ferments (发酵) to generate clean electricity.
Emasesa, the city water company, will use 35 tonnes of fruit to generate clean energy to run a water purification plant. The oranges will go to a facility that generates electricity from organic matter. As they ferment, the methane captured will be used to drive the generator.
“The juice is made up of very short carbon chains and the energetic performance of these carbon chains during the fermentation process is very high,” said Benigno López, the head of Emasesa’s environmental department.
While the aim for now is to use the energy to run the water purification plants, the ultimate goal is to feed extra electricity back into the grid (电网). The team behind the project says the potential is huge. Trials have shown that a tonne of oranges will produce 50kWh, enough to power five homes for a day, and they calculate that if all the city’s oranges were recycled and the energy put back into the grid, 73,000 homes could be powered.
“Emasesa is now a role model in Spain for sustainability and the fight against climate change,” said Juan Espadas Cejas, the mayor of Seville. “The water purification plants consume almost 40% of the energy to provide the city with drinking water. This project will help us to reach our targets for reducing emissions, energy self sufficiency and the circular economy.”
37．What can be known about the orange trees in Seville from Paragraph 1
A．They are pleasant views on the streets all year round.
B．They are so productive that they are widely exported.
C．Their ripe fruits trouble the city’s cleaning department.
D．Their juicy fruits are mostly consumed by the citizens.
38．What is the target of the pilot project in the future
A．To recycle more street oranges for fermentation.
B．To supply extra electrical power for the local grid.
C．To operate the water purification plants efficiently.
D．To make the fermentation process of oranges faster.
39．What is Juan Espadas Cejas’ attitude towards Emasesa
A．Favourable. B．Skeptical. C．Intolerant. D．Uninterested.
40．What is the best title for the text
A．A Big Headache: Unwanted Oranges in Seville
B．A Green Study: Fermentation Process of Oranges
C．A Water Plant: Extra Power Produced for the Grid
D．A Pilot Project: Leftover Oranges Turned into Wealth

Shanya Gill, a 12-year-old middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Society for Science’s annual middle school competition for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, according to a press release from the organization.
Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before,” she told Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down,” she added.
After she studied fire statistics and saw how common fires are, Shanya decided that she was going to do something about it. She spent more than a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could prevent the fire. That’s because smoke detectors sense active fires from the smoke in the air, while Shanya’s thermal imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring.
Her complex system has two parts, a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer. The device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message alert.
Creating the prototype (原型) was difficult and the hardest part was the coding. “I had two designs, and the final device succeeded because it outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy.” Shanya wants to bring the costs down to $60 to make it even more affordable than hardwired smoke detectors.
“Shanya saw a problem and tried hard to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage with all young people,” said Ajmera, president and CEO of Society for Science. Her remarkable research not only reflects her talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future.
41．What inspired Shanya to design the fire detection system
A．A neighbor's burnt kitchen.
B．A report on Washington Post.
C．A terrible restaurant experience.
D．A horrible fire in her community.
42．How can Shanya’s fire detection system help prevent fire
A．By having people updated.
B．By sending a warning mail.
C．By controlling the water tap.
D．By putting out a heat source.
43．Why did the final device succeed
A．It was fast and precise.
B．It was cheap and simple.
C．It was complex and unique.
D．It was affordable and convenient.
44．What may Ajmera agree
A．Teenagers are the architect of the future.
B．A problem is a chance to bring out the best.
C．The thirst for knowledge is a never-ending one.
D．The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Once the choice of royal household, the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years, and an online grocer reported that the fruit’s sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.
Lee, 32, is extremely busy in the summer months. Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers, Lee says, he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not. He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers, and puts thousands of watermelons through the “knock test” daily, before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies.
The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures. In China, it is considered a national habit. Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is well-spent. Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller.
As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way, those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand. Lee is one among the growing group. Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of e-buyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality.
Lee, who was once an award-winning soccer player, now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”. He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice(学徒) to an experienced farmer.
After a year’s trial and error, Lee worked independently as a quality checker. “It is a highly demanding task. During the apprenticeship, I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment. There are just no shortcuts, ” he said.
45．What is the main purpose of the text
A．To introduce an emerging profession.
B．To describe Lee’s career transformation.
C．To discuss the importance of fruit quality testers.
D．To explain the cultural role of watermelon-knocking.
46．What has led to the high demand for watermelon quality testers
A．The popularity of watermelons. B．The big harvest of watermelons.
C．An increase in watermelon prices. D．A rapid rise in online watermelon sales.
47．Why does Lee describe himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”
A．He was once an award-winning soccer player.
B．He dreams of being a professional melon-knocker.
C．He was taught by an experienced watermelon farmer.
D．He ensures that customers enjoy watermelons of quality.
48．What can we learn from Lee’s words in the last paragraph
A．Seeing is believing. B．Every man has his value.
C．Great efforts and practice matter. D．Excellence can be found in any profession.

Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral
Chinese state media has praised a viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and fleeing the British Museum to make its way back home.
The set of three short videos, entitled Escape from the British Museum, shows the teapot turning into a young woman in a green dress, who then engages a London-based Chinese journalist to help her reunite with her family. It appears to have struck a chord (弦) in China after first being released by independent v loggers on Douyin. By Monday evening, it had reportedly received more than 310 million views. The plot line taps into growing Chinese criticism of the British Museum after reports last month that more than 1,500 priceless objects, including gold jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, were missing, stolen or damaged.
In August the state media Global Times called for the return of Chinese artifacts from the museum “free of charge” in the wake of the controversy. “The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that ‘foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum’,” it said. It strongly supported the video series for touching on a “powerful message” about the importance of cultural heritage and reflecting “Chinese people’s desiring for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics.”
State broadcaster CCTV also gave the short films a glowing review saying: “We are very pleased to see Chinese young people are passionate about history and tradition... We are also looking forward to the early return of Chinese artifacts that have been displayed overseas.”
The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics.

Powerful demand for Huawei products is fueling investor interest in the shares of its suppliers, which have resisted declines in the broader mainland Chinese stock (股票) market.
Expectations that the Chinese technology company may continue to see strong sales for recently launched products are sending stocks of some of Huawei’s suppliers to record highs.
Analysts say the successful launch of the M7 car model by Huawei-backed electric-vehicle brand Aito could see order books continue to swell, based on the response to the launch during a national holiday known as the Golden Week.
Shares of Seres Group, an Aito partner, and Ningbo Shenglong Automotive Powertrain System, a car-parts manufacturer, have risen by the 10% daily limit on the Shanghai Stock Exchange this week since the mainland markets reopened for trading after the holiday. The benchmark (基准) Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0. 7% in Tuesday trading.
“Aito’s sales have been propelled by the new M7 model, up sharply compared with monthly sales of below 10,000 units as of August,” Shengang Securities analyst Xute Cao said in a note.
“Sales in the fourth quarter are expected to improve significantly on month,” Cao added.
Separately, stocks of Huawei’s component suppliers have also gained following the launch of the Mate 60 smartphone model in late September.
Ofilm Group advanced 9. 9% on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on Tuesday and has, gained 21% so far this week, while Vanchip(Tianjin) Technology rose as much as 10%, and has added around 8% this week. By contrast, the technology-heavy Shenzhen Stock Exchange closed down 0.4% Tuesday.
“We sense that investor interest in the smartphone supply chain has increased after iPhone and Mate 60 launch and anticipation of smartphone demand bottoming, “ Citigroup analyst Kyna Wong said in a note after the bank’s recent meeting with institutional investors, about China’s tech sector.
“Huawei’s return could have implications on market share and competition in the tech-hardware sector,” Wong said.
“Component makers could benefit from restarting spec (规格) upgrade and operating leverage (运营杠杆) from volume growth ( regardless of market-share shift), “ Wong said.

Before he left China in 1986, Che Zhao Sheng’s teacher Said to him, “After you go to the United States, share some of our Chinese culture with them if you have a chance.” Today, more than three decades later, the student is fulfilling his teacher’s dream. Che has been appointed as the specialist gardener for the penjing court in the newly expanded Chinese Garden at the Huntington Gardens in San Marino.
The court is composed of winding paths, whitewashed walls and occasional pieces of Taihu rock imported from Lake Tai in China. Che is busy displaying the penjing for the opening ceremony.
Born in Guangzhou, China, Che started studying penjing when he was 26. He practiced with Lu Zhi Quan, the son of noted master Lu Xue Ming, in Guangzhou, and later became a student of Master Lu himself. In 1986, Che immigrated to the United States, eventually settling down in San Gabriel. At first, he started as a volunteer at the Huntington Gardens, helping to tend to a small collection of black pine penjing.
“When we began building the Chinese Garden,” says Jim Folsom, director of the garden, “we were looking for someone who knew penjing. So it was a bit of luck we knew Mr. Che. He’s the first specialist gardener we hired for the Chinese Garden.”
That was more than a decade ago. Today, Che both develops new penjing and tends to the ones in the Huntington’s collection. When the Chinese Garden opens Friday, about 30 will be seen in the court. Eventually, about twice that number will be on display. At least half of them have been cultivated by Che.
Americans may be more familiar with bonsai, the Japanese version of penjing. Bonsai came to Japan from China around 1200. Over time, it developed its own standards and techniques.
“Usually bonsai focuses on individual plant,” Bloom says. “whereas penjing typically involves multiple plants that have a landscape-like setting with rocks and maybe water.”

In February of 2022, Walter Orthmann was officially included into the Guinness Book of Records for having the longest career in the same company. On April 19, he turned 100, but the loyal (忠诚的) employee doesn’t plan to retire from the only company he has ever worked for.
Walter began working for Industrias Renaux S.A．, a textile company in Brusque, when he was only 15 years old. He began as an assistant in the shipping department, but over the years, he was raised to the sales manager. During his 84-year-long career, Walter went on sales trips all over the world.
“You have to like to work. I started to work with that willingness and fighting spirit,” Walter Orthmann said, when asked what kept him going for over eight decades. “You can’t just do any job to say that you are working. That doesn’t work. You’re not going to be able to stand it.”
Recalling his beginnings with his company, Orthmann said that there were no computers, phones weren’t used at the company, and texts had to be typed on a typewriter and mailed. There was no public lighting, the streets were just dirt, which became muddy when it rained. There was no running water, and each house had its own well.
Everything is much easier today, Orthmann admits. All you need is a mobile phone and an internet connection, and you can do business from anywhere in the world. It’s thanks to technology that he is able to continue working, as he no longer travels like he used to.
Asked what advice he would give people dreaming of staying active and working late into their lives, Orthmann told Brazilian news site Globo: “Don’t be angry, do everything laughing.

Mu Sa, a livestream host of the Hui ethnic group from Zhongning, Ningxi a Hui autonomous region, demonstrated how the Internet had transformed many young unemployed people into useful talents contributing to society.
After graduating from university majoring in sociology, Mu worked as an office clerk in Shanghai, a marketing assistant in Beijing and a data analyst in Hangzhou. Each time he struggled to realize his dream in big cities. Mu returned home at 25 after losing his job during the COVID-19 pandemic in November 2021.
However, he was not overcome by his failures and quickly lifted himself up. Mu decided to pick up his cell phone and begin creating short videos about local people's daily lives at home and uploading them online.
A video clip showing his mother cooking local food turned out to be a surprise hit. Even his mother was shocked that so many viewers, who commented that the video aroused memories of their own moms and hometowns, could be interested in a daily routine.
Mu said it was the success of this video clip that inspired him to carry on. He gradually found that village-related content was popular among his followers. “The more local the content, the more universal its appeal is,” he said. Mu started promoting local specialties on his account on April 1 last year, which turned out to be another success.
Ma Rui, a middle school classmate of Mu's, also posted about local life on his social media, which had 150,000 followers. He helped Mu with framing, composition, transitions and music.
Apart from his rural angle, Mu also attributed the popularity of his short videos to the empathetic effects they produced in the viewers, particularly young people. “The uncertainty of the future often makes young people feel confused to varying degrees,” he said. “I gave my answer to the confusion with my own practical actions: There is not a uniform norm of life for young people, including college graduates. Dreams will lead everyone to where they should go.”

Zach Conti has been taking up various jobs for four years so he could go to school. To get by and pay the bills, he had to sell his plasma, something he wouldn’t have to do if he had a scholarship.
Unfortunately, Eastern Michigan University could not give any more scholarships, according to the coach of the university’s football team, Chris Creighton. He shared that they’re at 85 scholarships and no matter how many times he went to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to apply for another one, the answer was no. Luckily, a teammate Dooley, who regards Conti as a family member, was willing to give up his scholarship and give it to Conti.
When asked why he made such a decision, Dooley mentioned he did it because he had seen Conti grow over the years. Seeing him walk away from something that he loves did not sit well with him. In his eyes, giving up his scholarship so Conti can stay and play means everything. For Conti, football was something he really loved, so ever since he got to school, he did whatever it took to stay here and stay in a good position with academics and football and everything.
When the scholarship was presented to him, Conti said he was so thankful for Dooley for his kindness and generosity though he did not expect such a big sacrifice (牺牲) from him. Creighton said he had never seen anything like that before and he was comforted by Dooley’s good deed. Dooley repeated he would do it again in a heartbeat and he hoped to help Conti some more along the way. “I’m proud of what he has become and cannot wait to see what he does on the field,” added Dooley.

In this age of cell phones, text messages and computer keyboards, one Scottish school has returned to basics. It’s teaching children the ignored art of writing with a fountain pen. There is no clicking of keyboards in most classrooms at the Mary Erskine and Stewart’s Melville Junior School, although there is a full range of facilities (设施) for computer lessons and technology isn’t being ignored. The school’s headmaster believes the old-fashioned pens have helped strengthen the academic performance and self-respect of his 1,200 pupils.
“The pens improve the quality of work because they force the children to take care, and better work improves self-respect”, headmaster Bryan Lewis said. “Proper handwriting is as relevant today as it ever has been.” Students as young as 7 have been instructed to give up their ballpoint pens and begin to deal with its more artful predecessor. By the time they reach grade five, at age 9, they are expected to write mainly with fountain pens. Lewis said the school’s 7- and 8-year-olds use fountain pens for 80-90 percent of their work, returning to pencils for such subjects as math. “I don’t see fountain pens as old-fashioned or out of date. Modern fountain pens are beautiful to use. It’s not like in the old days of broken metal points and dirtying writing paper,” Lewis said. “We have a particular writing style and we have developed it very carefully and found a way that allows left-and right- handed people to write without dirtying paper.”
Some people argue that handwriting is becoming less important because of the growing use of cell phone text messaging and typing on computers, but the school disagrees. “We talk of the paperless office and the paperless world, but this is not true,” Lewis said. “You still need to have proper handwriting skills.”
25．The Scottish school in the passage _____.

Russia is launching a new module (舱) for the International Space Station(ISS), after more than a decade of delays. The Nauka module is set to lift off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on top of a Proton-M rocket at around 15:00 GMT today, along with a new robotic arm for the station created by the European Space Agency.
The ISS is composed of modules and equipment from different space agencies including Europe, Japan and Canada, but the major part of the station is composed of two main sections, a Russian part and a US part. At 13 meters long and weighing more than 20 tonnes, Nauka, also called the Multipurpose Laboratory Module, will be among the largest in Russia’s half.
After launch, Nauka will take eight days to reach the ISS. Once attached, it will act as a new centre for the Russian part of the station. “It’s a science laboratory, and it also provides a lot of important service systems,” says Anatoly Zak, editor of a website. Planned research includes biological and materials science experiments. “It’s a step in making the Russian part more independent (from the US part).” This includes a new toilet inside the module and sleeping rooms for the crew.
The launch of Nauka has been a long time coming, with construction of the module beginning in the 1990s. Technical and supply issues since then, such as the loss of components from Ukraine following the Russian annexation (兼并) of Crimea in 2014, have seen development stumble (蹒跚而行). “It’s much more complex than anything the Russian space programme has tried to build in the last few years,” says Zak. Russia’s last module — Rassvet — was carried to the ISS by a US spacecraft in 2010.

In summer the air in Seville is sweet with the scent of oranges. They look pretty on the trees but once they fall, the streets become sticky with juice and black with flies. The 5,700 tonnes of bitter fruit the city’s 48,000 trees deposit on the streets are a hazard for pedestrians (行人) and a headache for the city’s cleaning department.
Now a project has been launched to produce an entirely different kind of juice from the unwanted oranges: electricity. Seville is running a pilot project to use the methane (甲烷) produced as the fruit ferments (发酵) to generate clean electricity.
Emasesa, the city water company, will use 35 tonnes of fruit to generate clean energy to run a water purification plant. The oranges will go to a facility that generates electricity from organic matter. As they ferment, the methane captured will be used to drive the generator.
“The juice is made up of very short carbon chains and the energetic performance of these carbon chains during the fermentation process is very high,” said Benigno López, the head of Emasesa’s environmental department.
While the aim for now is to use the energy to run the water purification plants, the ultimate goal is to feed extra electricity back into the grid (电网). The team behind the project says the potential is huge. Trials have shown that a tonne of oranges will produce 50kWh, enough to power five homes for a day, and they calculate that if all the city’s oranges were recycled and the energy put back into the grid, 73,000 homes could be powered.
“Emasesa is now a role model in Spain for sustainability and the fight against climate change,” said Juan Espadas Cejas, the mayor of Seville. “The water purification plants consume almost 40% of the energy to provide the city with drinking water. This project will help us to reach our targets for reducing emissions, energy self sufficiency and the circular economy.”
37．What can be known about the orange trees in Seville from Paragraph 1
A．They are pleasant views on the streets all year round.
B．They are so productive that they are widely exported.
C．Their ripe fruits trouble the city’s cleaning department.
D．Their juicy fruits are mostly consumed by the citizens.
38．What is the target of the pilot project in the future

B．To supply extra electrical power for the local grid.
C．To operate the water purification plants efficiently.
D．To make the fermentation process of oranges faster.

Shanya Gill, a 12-year-old middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Society for Science’s annual middle school competition for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, according to a press release from the organization.
Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before,” she told Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down,” she added.
After she studied fire statistics and saw how common fires are, Shanya decided that she was going to do something about it. She spent more than a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could prevent the fire. That’s because smoke detectors sense active fires from the smoke in the air, while Shanya’s thermal imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring.
Her complex system has two parts, a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer. The device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message alert.
Creating the prototype (原型) was difficult and the hardest part was the coding. “I had two designs, and the final device succeeded because it outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy.” Shanya wants to bring the costs down to $60 to make it even more affordable than hardwired smoke detectors.
“Shanya saw a problem and tried hard to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage with all young people,” said Ajmera, president and CEO of Society for Science. Her remarkable research not only reflects her talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future.
41．What inspired Shanya to design the fire detection system
A．A neighbor's burnt kitchen.
B．A report on Washington Post.
C．A terrible restaurant experience.
D．A horrible fire in her community.
42．How can Shanya’s fire detection system help prevent fire
A．By having people updated.
B．By sending a warning mail.
C．By controlling the water tap.
D．By putting out a heat source.

Once the choice of royal household, the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years, and an online grocer reported that the fruit’s sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.
Lee, 32, is extremely busy in the summer months. Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers, Lee says, he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not. He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers, and puts thousands of watermelons through the “knock test” daily, before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies.
The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures. In China, it is considered a national habit. Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is well-spent. Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller.
As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way, those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand. Lee is one among the growing group. Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of e-buyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality.
Lee, who was once an award-winning soccer player, now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”. He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice(学徒) to an experienced farmer.
After a year’s trial and error, Lee worked independently as a quality checker. “It is a highly demanding task. During the apprenticeship, I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment. There are just no shortcuts, ” he said.
