If you’re unsure whether your friend is really a true friend or not, it generally means things have happened to cause you some doubt. The fact that you cannot be certain means that the friendship is under question and your feelings need to be dealt with before you can continue to trust this friendship is worth the effort. So, is this friend true to you or not
Here are some questions you can ask yourself.

（2024·浙江宁波·一模）For some people, choosing to be scared can be fun. Going through a haunted house might make them scream, then laugh! They like to be scared because they like the way their body changes. For others, that feeling takes their mind off their worries. “You’re probably not thinking about your homework that’s due next week when you’re playing a game of hide-and-seek,” says Dr. Margee Kerr, a sociologist (社会学家) from the University of Pittsburgh.
Being scared is not always a treat. When a balloon pops, we may jump. Our heart beats faster and harder, and we breathe faster. That’s because when we meet something we don’t know or something alarming, some reactions are triggered (触发) to help prepare us for the unknown. Once the body is alert (警觉的), the brain decides whether or not the danger is real.
Fear is a tool that the brain uses to keep the body safe. It tells a person to hide, run away, or protect oneself. Faster heartbeat and breathing send more blood and oxygen to the muscles (肌肉) so they’re ready when they’re needed.
Our memories also help protect us. We keep a close eye on babies because they don’t understand what might hurt them. As babies grow, they learn what’s unsafe, and their brains store those memories. Then their brains use fear to warn them of dangers. “We don’t want to be fearless,” Dr. Kerr says. “It’s good to have a healthy sense of what’s dangerous!”
________ Experiences can lead to long-lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things. We’re born with the ability to feel fear, but what we’re afraid of is learned. A long-lasting fear can mean you’ve had a bad experience and your brain doesn’t want you to have it again. If a dog bit someone, that person might feel afraid of all dogs.
Luckily, many people have beat their own fears. Here’s one way: Instead of listening to their imagination, they learn the facts about anything that seems scary. Knowledge can help a person feel less afraid.
5．Why do people like being scared
A．It keeps their body healthy. B．It makes them feel worried.
C．It makes them feel excited. D．It reminds them of homework.
6．What happens to our body when we are scared
A．Our heart beats slower and we hardly breathe.
B．The body stops sending blood to the brain.
C．The heart sends less oxygen to the muscles.
D．The brain tells the body to prepare for the danger.
7．Which of the following can be put into ________ in Paragraph 5
A．Too much fear, however, can be harmful.
B．The more fear you have, the better you’ll feel.
C．We may have less fear if we stay at home.
D．Scientists suggest we stay away from fear.
8．What can be learned from the passage
A．Going through a haunted house can make everyone laugh.
B．Memories help people remember things that are unsafe.
C．If a dog bit someone, that person will feel afraid of all animals.
D．People may beat fears by listening to their imagination.

It was nearly dark when we got to the wooden bridge. We could see water over the middle of it, and this
often happened when the river was high. But the moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I was sure something was wrong. I dared not go forward and stopped suddenly.
“Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he touched me with the whip (鞭子). I did not move, so he hit me sharply. I jumped, but I would not go forward.
“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he jumped from the carriage (马车) and began to look around. He tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty, what’s the matter ”
Of course I could not tell him, but I knew very well that the bridge was not safe.
Just then a man ran out of the house on the other side of the bridge. “Stop! Stop!” he cried.
“What’s the matter ” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle,” said the man, “and part of it was carried away. If you come across, you’ll fall into the river.”
“Thank you, Beauty!” John said to me, and turned me gently round to the right-hand road by the riverside.
It got much darker but quieter now. The wind seemed to have luffed off and the rain stopped as I ran merrily towards home by another, much longer road. For some time neither my master nor John spoke, but then my master spoke in a serious voice.
“We were very close to losing our lives in that river, John,” he said. “Men may be clever enough to think of things for themselves, but animals know things without thinking, which often saves a man’s life, as it has saved ours tonight. We don’t realize how wonderful the animals are, nor do we make friends with them as we should.”
(Adapted from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell)

Stamp collecting has recently appeared as a new way for young people to record their travels. Instead of simply taking photos of famous landmarks, they now look for different stamps of the attractions (景点) during their journey. When travelling, they would take postcards or travel notebooks with them, where they put the stamps with the pictures or names of the tourist attractions. Some tourist cities also offer a special “passport” for the tourists to collect stamps.
Kuang Zhaoxin is one of them. She sees stamp collecting as a great way to record the trip. Early last year, she first experienced stamp collecting and decided to make it part of her travel. Before each trip, she searches for stamp-collection tips on social media where users share their stamp-collecting experiences, discussing where to get stamps for free, which locations offer the most stamps, and where collectors can spend less time waiting. By sharing these, she is able to make more new friends with the same interest.
Shi Junchu, 29, from Yunnan thinks it can add more meanings to the travels. “This habit has improved my understanding of different places, because when I collect stamps, I dig deeper into the stories behind each stamp. Those stories help me take a new look at the attractions, or I would just miss them.” she told a news reporter. Actually, many also find the stamps themselves a kind of art. They are seriously designed with rich cultural elements (元素).
Stamp-collecting activities are getting more popular in different parts all around China, which helps the tourist attractions should also improve tourism with culture and education.

② There’s no doubt that Sora is amazing. Videos created by Sora look good on both big and small devices
(设备), such as computers and smartphones. Sora can also make scenes (场景) with lots of people doing different things with clear details. It also knows how things should look in real life.
③ Why is it so good Actually, Sora looks at many videos and learns from them by breaking them into very small bits (片段). It uses these bits to make a new video. The new video is gray at first and very messy—you can’t tell what’s in it. Then, Sora fixes the video until it looks good and smooth. Besides, Sora also gets help from ChatGPT, which turns the user’s short sentences into clear instructions. This helps Sora make the video just as you asked.
④ However, there are still some shortcomings to be improved: Sora may find “busy” pictures hard to understand. For example, when a person moves, things around them change. In one video created by Sora, a grandma blows the candle on a birthday cake, but the flame doesn’t move. Sora may not be able to tell “left” from “right” and mess up a person’s leg moves. In another video made by Sora, a lady in a red dress is walking on a street. The picture in the water on the ground changes when she walks. The people in the back move in a normal way and the buildings change as she walks. The woman’s skin (皮肤) looks real, with acne marks (痘印) on her face.

（2024·浙江宁波·一模）A story is told of Marie Curie. Her sisters once built a pyramid (金字塔) of chairs around her. Marie was busy reading. She didn’t even notice until she stood up and knocked them all over!
It would not be surprising if this story were true. As a child, Marie loved books and experiments. Nothing could distract her from her studies. She did not lose this love of learning as she got older. In the 1880s, very few women went to college, and even fewer women became scientists. Marie did both.
After she met and married another scientist, Pierre Curie, the two of them began working together. Their studies focused on the element radium (镭元素). They had discovered it during their research. Radium is found in some rocks. It is a white metallic element with a blue glow (微弱而稳定的光). The glow lasts for a thousand years.
The radium glows because it produces energy. That is one reason why the Curies were so interested in it. But studying radium is not like opening a book. Radium must be isolated (分离) from the rock around it. That is like trying to take just the chocolate out of chocolate milk.
The couple spent their life savings on eight tons of rock. An old shack (棚屋) became their workplace. They heated the rock to remove the bits of radium from it. Days of work turned into months. Finally, they spent four years in that shack studying the mysterious element with the blue glow.
During their research, the Curies found that radium could help treat disease. That is when Marie and her husband became big news. They were written about often. This got the public interested in radium. Soon, the Curies’ work earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics. This award is one of the highest honors in the world. Marie had come a long way from the days of chair pyramids.
29．Why did Marie knock her sister’s chair pyramid over
A．Because she was angry with her sister. B．Because she paid full attention to reading.
C．Because she didn’t notice it while sleeping. D．Because she was busy doing experiments.
30．What does the underlined phrase “distract her from” mean
A．Take her attention away from. B．Protect her from.

C．Patient and friendly. D．Talented and honest.
32．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Marie Curie: A Woman Who Loves Reading
B．Marie Curie: A Woman Ahead of Her Time
C．Marie Curie: A Woman Who Has a Famous Husband
D．Marie Curie: A Woman Who Built Chair Pyramids
（2024·浙江宁波·一模）Do you often visit bakeries (烘焙店) for a sweet treat And have you ever wondered what happens to the unsold bread Lately, this topic has brought a wide discussion on the Internet.
Unlike ice cream, bread is kept at room temperature, leading to a short shelf life (保质期).
“Freshly baked bread can only be kept for 24 hours, while packaged (包装好的) bread lasts 3 days.” said a bakery manager in Jiangxi Province. At the end of a day, some bakeries sell the near-expired (临期的) bread at a lower price. But others would rather throw it away because they are afraid that many customers will just wait until the end to buy cheaper bread.
If so, can bakeries make less bread in the first place to reduce waste The answer is “No.” In fact, a shelf full of bread will increase people’s desire to buy more. Also, bakeries need to make many kinds of bread every day to meet different customers’ needs.
Throwing away the unsold bread will lead to a huge waste for sure, so some bakeries are looking for better ways to deal with it. For example, some bakeries sell near-expired products through “blind boxes”. At a bakery in Shanghai, there is a blind box sale from 8 to 9 p.m. every day. People can get a random (随机的) type of near-expired bread at a low price. “It’s great because it reduces food waste,” said one customer. “And the blind box always gives me a little surprise!” What’s more, some bakeries give away the near-expired products to people in need. Even the expired bread can be sent to recycling companies and turned into food for animals.
33．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 1
A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions.
C．By giving an opinion. D．By making comparisons.
34．How long can packaged bread be kept
A．For one day. B．For two days. C．For three days. D．For four days.
35．Which three ways of the following can help to reduce bread waste
①Selling unsold bread through “blind boxes”. ②Giving unsold bread to people in need.
③Sending expired bread to recycling companies. ④Providing fewer kinds of bread every day.
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④
36．What is the passage mainly about
A．How customers choose the best bread. B．How people save food and avoid waste.
C．How bakeries deal with unsold bread. D．How companies recycle expired food.
（2024·浙江宁波·一模）①My daughter’s pet fish is dying. Recently I find myself spending minutes and even hours staring at the clear round bowl, hoping for another performance of its wonderful dance. To be honest, I am not a fish person. Compared with cats and dogs, fish can neither play nor walk with me. To me, they are just so boring.
②But every morning now, I tap on the bowl, shake out some fish food and carefully throw it into the bowl, hoping the fish can eat it with the least effort. I try to make the fish more comfortable. Yet there’s so little that I can do. The fish just remains still (一动不动的) at the bottom of the bowl.
③“Come on! Eat something!” I say. And suddenly I realize that somebody said the exact same sentences to me before. Many times.
④I think of the banana pancakes that my mother would serve me every time I became sick and stayed in bed. They were my favorite treat and always made me feel much better. “Come on! Eat something! Your body needs to be strong!” My mom would always say. What made me even warmer was the idea that she would always, always be there when I needed her.

She was only 61 but seemed to get weaker every day. “Would you like some green tea ” Again and again, I would ask, “What about some cake Hot chocolate Strawberries ” I gently encouraged her to eat because I didn’t know what else to do. “Please, Mom! Eat something! Your body needs to be strong!” But she would not. There she was, lying still on the bed, with her eyes closed. That was the last time I saw her.

（2024·浙江宁波·一模）①In today’s busy world, research shows that more and more people are feeling “time poor”. Time poverty (贫穷) can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person’s time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when people feel like they are running out of time to reach their goals or finish tasks before the deadline (截止日期). Besides, we often say “yes” to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying “yes” to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate.
②People who don’t have enough time fail to perform well at work and remain stressed. Too much stress can harm mental (心理的) health. Moreover, less quality (优质的) time with friends and families can make a person feel lonelier. So how can you stop being time poor
③Firstly, manage your time properly. It may seem harmless to stay in bed till noon on weekends, but the time wasted every week can add up quickly if you don’t realize it. In order to make better use of your time, you can make careful plans before you actually spend it. Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off. In this way, you can stick to your plan and focus better on your work.
④Secondly, make quality time a true value in your life. It’s important to focus on how you spend your time with someone or doing something. Train yourself to be more present in your life. That is to say, pay attention to one thing at a time. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and enjoy yourself rather than still worry about work.

Once in a small village, an unusual chick was born. He had only one eye, one wing, and one leg. He was named Little Half Chick. He quickly learned to hop faster on his leg than most chickens could walk on two. He was a curious and adventurous chick and soon grew tired of his yard environment. One day he decided to hop to the city to meet the mayor.
Along the way, he hopped by a stream filled with leaves. “Could you clear these leaves away so my water can run freely ” the stream gurgled (流淌). Little Half Chick helped the stream and then he hopped on.

（2024·浙江宁波·一模）I recently read an article about how much time the average person spends doing things around the world. The statistics (数据) are changing all the time, of course—and the survey doesn’t cover every country so it may not paint a fair picture of some populations, but it was still fascinating.
The survey showed some interesting differences between countries. For example, Mexicans must have fun, because they laugh more than any other population. Germans spend the most time with friends, and surprisingly maybe, Americans play the most sports. Then there are the toe-tapping Russians: the average Russian dances 15 times a month!
When you add up the amounts for different activities in a 80-year lifespan (寿命), you get some shocking results. For example, the average person in the developed world will spend about 11 years in front of a computer, phone, or TV screen—much longer than we spend exercising. It’ one important reason why we spend about 25% of our whole lives sitting in a chair!
The other main reason is work. A working life for the most people lasts about 116, 000 hours (about 13 years), and you may be sitting down all day at a desk or factory machine. That’s bad news, since medical studies have shown that sitting down too much is very bad for your health.
Of course, we spend a lot of our lives sleeping, too—about one third of our lives. That might seem like a
waste—we could do more with our lives if we didn’t sleep. But scientists say that sleep is important to our physical and mental health. And let’s face it, if we stayed up all night, we’d probably just spend the extra time checking our phones!
After reading the survey, I thought about all the time I must have wasted over the years just sitting on the sofa. From now on, I’ve decided that I’m going to watch less TV, spend less time playing video games, and play more sports. Clearly, if I increase my exercise by only 5%, I’ll do enough to run around the world twice!
54．What does the writer say about the survey in Para. 1
A．It’s only fit for the writer’s country. B．A lot of the facts are already out of date.
C．It may not be correct for some countries. D．It was boring and not well researched.
55．How does the writer show the results of the survey
A．By making descriptions. B．By telling stories.
C．By asking questions. D．By listing numbers
56．Which picture shows the sitting and sleeping time correctly if you have a 80-year lifespan
A． B． C． D．
57．What does the writer probably mean by saying the last sentence
A．A small change could have a big effect.
B．Every coin has two sides.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way.
D．Running more makes our life perfect.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) took place in Las Vegas, US, between 9 and 12 January. The event shows off some of the coolest new inventions that might one day be available to the public.
◆One was a robot to help people around the house. It uses artificial intelligence (AI). The computer can learn from experience and do things with AI.
The robot is designed to control household appliances, keep an eye on pets and even check the safety of the house like a soldier.
◆A smart fridge was made by Samsung. This can tell the differences about 33 food items and suggests recipes that will use up what you have.
◆In video gaming, two companies called Nvidia and Convai used AI to create more natural non-playable characters (NPCs). Usually when you meet a character in a game, what they say to you or how they do will have been decided by the game’s creators. The creators of these new AI characters say they are different now because they can act like a real person.
◆Technology company LG showed a transparent television. It’s wireless (无线的), so it can be put anywhere in a room and because it looks like a piece of glass, it can even be put in front of a window. It also has a screensaver (屏保) that can play relaxing pictures, such as fish swimming around in a tank.
◆Finally, for children, the Droyd Venym electric scooter board (滑板车) is basically a seat, low to the ground, with legs and four wheels that you control with handles. Its top speed is three miles per hour.
Some people may worry about how AI might affect their lives. If AI can create images, music and text, one day artists, musicians and writers could be replaced. To my understanding, AI still shows a bright future and aims to create comfortable lives. It helps us study lots of information and work out what is likely to happen next. It depends on how you use this new technology.

It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going for the
day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these drinks soon became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-called “energy drinks.” These drinks have the specific aim of giving tired customers more energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this drink has reported that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher (解渴饮料). Instead, the drink is meant to revitalize (使恢复生机) a tired customer’s body and mind. In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their drinks. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these drinks all seem to give a person energy.
Health experts are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence (证据) to show that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person’s energy level. Another problem is that there are so many things in the drinks. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer cautions (告诫) people about believing all the claims (申明) energy drinks make. He says, “It may be true if you put these twelve things together, you will get a good result.” However Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact (负面影响) on the body “We just don’t know at this point,” he says.
66．Which of the following can be found in most energy drinks
①Caffeine ②Sugar ③Vitamins ④Thirst Chemicals
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④
67．According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an energy drink gives people energy
A．The age of the customers. B．The number of ingredients.
C．Natural chemicals in a person’s body. D．The company that makes the drinks.
68．What has Dr. Bauer probably researched
A．Drinks for teenage athletes. B．Vitamins and chemicals in the body.
C．Countries where Red Bull is popular D．Habits of healthy and unhealthy adults.
69．What is the main idea of this passage
A．Red Bull is a good energy drink. B．Caffeine is bad for people to drink.
C．Energy drinks may or may not work. D．Teenagers should not drink energy drinks.

①Ahh ... ahhhh ... aaahhhhchooo! That sneeze is uncovered, and so the germs (细菌) fly through the air. It is pretty awful to think about, but have you ever wondered about the germs in your body They are very small organisms (生物体) that live inside us. An organism is a living thing. Germs are alive, and they can cause us to get sick. It is impossible to keep germs out of our bodies. They are so tiny that we do not even know they are coming inside our bodies. The only way we know that germs have made us sick is when we begin to feel symptoms. We might get a fever or a sore throat. We might have a runny nose or a headache.
②Germs are usually spread through the air. They come out in a sneeze, a cough, or a breath. They can also be spread by saliva (唾液), sweat (汗), or blood. Sometimes, they come from touching something. For example, a person can touch his or her nose and then touch a doorknob (门把手). If someone else touches that doorknob right away, he or she can pick up those germs.
③How can you protect yourself from germs The most important way to do this is to wash your hands. Soap and water are the germ’s enemies. They wash the germs away. This is why it is so important to wash your hands throughout the day. But a quick splash (飞溅) will not work. Hands should be washed for about twenty seconds.
④Staying healthy also keeps germs away. This means getting enough rest and not being too tired. It also means having good foods and exercising. These are germ-fighting secrets!
70．The underlined word “symptom” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A．症状 B．疼痛 C．厌倦 D．乏力
71．Which statement is true according to the passage

（2024·浙江宁波·一模）Virtual (虚拟的) worlds and the real world are going to collide (碰撞) with a new device.
On June 5, Apple released its new product—the Apple Vision Pro headset. It mixes the real environment with computer images. Wearing the headset, users can see digital content (数字内容), such as movies or games in front of their eyes. At the same time, the environment around the users is captured (捕捉) and shown on the screen as well. This makes the users feel that they are looking at their surroundings (环境) directly. “It’s like your phone but right in front of you—wherever you are,” one of the first users of the headset told the BBC．
The headset is equipped with 12 cameras, six microphones and different sensors (传感器). These work together to follow the user’s eye movement and gestures (手势), allowing them to control the device without a remote control (遥控器). For example, tapping (轻拍) your fingers together will be viewed as a click.
The product also has some special social characteristics (社交特征). When a person gets close to someone wearing the headset, the screen will show the eyes of the user. It makes the user look more friendly. But if the user is fully immersed (沉浸在) in a virtual world, others won’t see the eyes and will know the user is in a “do-not-disturb (免打扰)” mode.
“Blending (融合) digital content with the real world can unlock experiences like nothing we’ve ever seen,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said. “Just as the Mac introduced us to personal computing, and the iPhone introduced us to mobile computing, Apple Vision Pro introduces us to spatial (空间的) computing.”
However, there are still some weaknesses of the headset because this is the first of its kind by Apple. A user
said it’s about 0.6 kilograms—it can be heavy because you need to wear it on your face. It’s also very expensive. The headset now costs $3,499 (about 25,000 yuan). Another thing is that the battery (电池) can only work for two hours. It needs to be plugged in (连接电源) for longer use.
“The first generation of the headset is about creating buzz (轰动),” Foad Fadaghi, a business expert, told American Financial Review. “We believe Apple will have a better model sometime in 2024.”
74．What can the user see on the screen when using the Apple Vision Pro headset
A．Their own face. B．Things far away from them.
C．The eyes of the user. D．Digital content and their surroundings.
75．How can the user control the headset
A．By using a remote control. B．By speaking to it directly.
C．By moving their eyes and doing gestures. D．By clicking a mouse.
76．Which of the following is NOT the weakness of the headset
A．The price is very high. B．It’s not suitable for old people.
C．It’s uncomfortable to wear. D．It’s not-long-enough battery life.
77．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．When you wear the headset, you can only see the virtual world.
B．There are six cameras, twelve microphones and many sensors on the headset.
C．The headset’s special social characteristics are very helpful for users.
D．Like the iPhone, Apple Vision Pro introduced us to mobile computing.

Basketball was a way of life in Marquez’s family. His older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college. Marquez was ready to follow in his brother’s footsteps and make his family proud. But he had a secret. As good as he was at basketball, Marquez’s heart wasn’t in it anymore. He had another sport on his mind.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead (额头), Marquez jumped on a bus heading home. Through the bus window, he could see cheerleaders dancing and performing amazingly on the field.

（2024·浙江宁波·一模）When introducing the rules of the class, the first words my math teacher Ms. Whitney began with were “kindness” and “homework”. Now, I can imagine that you must be feeling what I was feeling then: Why would homework, which is already so difficult, has something to do with anything good
As if understanding my confusion (困惑), Ms. Whitney began to explain in her gentle but authoritative (温柔却威严的) voice, “Homework sometimes needs cooperation. When others can’t solve a problem, and you can do it, you can help them. It provides you with the chance to grow and learn.”
It was at that moment I heard a pop in my head, a feeling as if the confusion around the two words had disappeared. Homework brings out kindness, and kindness in turn creates an environment that encourages everyone to practice.
Ms. Whitney proved the truth behind those words during the following days. Every day, we were divided into groups and made to stand next to each other, working on problems that came like a never-ending flood (洪水). The first day, I was a bit uncomfortable working with another person. But soon, as we discussed questions and helped each other, that uncomfortable feeling began to disappear.
In a classroom filled with friendly discussion and Ms. Whitney’s happy voice calling out, “Kindness and Homework!” whenever she saw one of us sitting alone or in need of help, math class was never as boring as it had been before. It was hard to believe that homework problems could change the way people think. In the past, I could only think of one way to solve a problem, but now I can think of more than two ways. Learning in Ms. Whitney’s
class has helped me find the reason to learn, which will help me for the rest of my journey abroad.

D．When Ms. Whitney saw someone sitting alone or in need of help.
92．How did Ms. Whitney prove the truth behind her words
A．By explaining her words over and over again.
B．By discussing with her students.
C．By dividing her students into groups to work on problems.
D．By calling out “Kindness and Homework” loudly.

②On August 20th, 2020, the Chinese game developer Game Science showed a 13-minute video about its action role-playing game (动作类角色扮演游戏)—Black Myth: Wukong (《黑神话：悟空》). Within one day, the video got nearly 2 million views on YouTube and 10 million views on Bilibili.
③Every year on August 20th, the developer Game Science showed a new video about the development progress of the game. However, what’s different this year is that we finally got to play it. On August 20th, 2023, in Hangzhou, 1000 players from all over China were invited to play the latest demo (试玩版) of the game. And three days later in Cologne, games from all over the world came to play it at Gamescom 2023. Some even waited for more than 5 hours only to play it for 45 minutes. On August 25th, the game won the Award of Best Visuals (最佳
视觉效果奖).
④The Monkey King has appeared in video games before, but seldom has that been in a game made by a Chinese company which paid so much attention to showing Chinese traditional culture.
⑤“We’ve just been so interested with this Chinese mythology,” Game Science boss Feng Ji told the Unreal Engine website. That interest led to years of study on the Monkey King. But while Black Myth: Wukong is set in the world of Journey to the West, the 500-year-old book was not enough for the game developers.
⑥“To create a fascinating Chinese story, we also looked to many Chinese classics, taking ideas from their stories, characters and monsters, for example, The Classic of Mountains and Seas (《山海经》), The Investiture of the Gods (《封神演义》), Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (《聊斋志异》), Wuxia novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long and science fictions by Liu Cixin. They all inspired the making of the game,” said Feng.
⑦For Chinese game industry and Chinese traditional culture, there is also a “journey to the west”. Since the full game of Black Myth: Wukong is due to come out next summer, there are reasons to believe that, with time given, Game Science will make its way!

It may produce feelings of poor self-pride or aggressive (攻击性的) behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40 million kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say they have been shouted at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression in children’s sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the
message that winning is everything. At children’s sporting events, parents may shout at other players or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and find out the causes behind them. Parents and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health is not as important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
