The Chengdu World University Games, held from July 28 to August 8, were more than just medals and sports.
A total of 6,500 student-athletes from 113 countries and regions competed at the Chengdu games. Besides showing their skills in different sports, these athletes also learned about many sides of Chinese culture. Each night in the athletes’ village, they could experience activities such as trying on hanfu, playing Chinese chess and playing traditional Chinese music.
On July 31, overseas athletes met the 6-year-old Zhi Ma, the panda who inspired the design of Rongbao—the mascot of the Games. Their excitement was obvious as most of them first met with a giant panda in person.
To attract the attention of the giant pandas, many athletes also made an effort to learn how to say “come here” in the local Sichuan dialect (方言).
Chinese and foreign athletes also made good friends during the games. One of the Chinese words that Brazilian badminton player Welton Menezes picked up was Tan—the family name of Tan Qiang, a Chinese opponent of his.
On July 30, Tan beat Menezes with ease in a men’s doubles match during the mixed team event. But the image of Menezes’ worn-out (破旧的) shoes left a deep impression on Tan. He asked for Menezes’ shoe size immediately after the match and gave his own pair of new shoes to Menezes.

UN climate talks this year in Bonn have concluded with progress on technical issues, but with bigger questions about cutting carbon emissions (碳排放量) unresolved.
Delegates (代表) say they are pleased that the rule book for the Paris Climate Agreement is finally coming together. But these technical discussions took place against the background of a larger battle about coal, oil and gas. It means that next year’s conference in Poland is set for a major showdown (最后的决战) on the future of fossil fuels.
This meeting, known as COP23, was tasked with clarifying complex operational issues around the workings (工作方式,运动方式) of the Paris Climate Agreement. One of the most important elements was the development of a process that would help countries to review and increase their promises to cut carbon. Fiji, holding the presidency of this meeting, proposed what’s being called the Talanoa Dialogue.
Over the next year, a series of discussions will take place to help countries look at the promises they have made under the Paris Pact (巴黎协定).
“A key part in Poland is this Talanoa Dialogue, to make sure it doesn’t result in just a talk show,” said Yamide Dagnet with the World Resources Institute. “In Poland, ministers say they will increase their actions, so that we end up with national plans that will be a much more ambitious set of climate actions.”
Threatening over these discussions in Bonn was the question of coal, oil and gas. US coal and nuclear companies organised a presentation here arguing that fossil fuels should be a key part of the solution to rising temperatures.
8. Where was the meeting held this year
A. In Bonn. B. In Poland. C. In Paris.
9. What should be discussed in Poland next year
A. Technical problems. B. Cutting down fossil fuels. C. The Paris Climate Agreement.
10. What can we learn about the Talanoa Dialogue
A. It has been ignored in Poland.
B. Ministers was against the dialogue.
C. Yamide Dagnet supports the dialogue.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A. An announcement. B. A news report. C. A show review.

Professional surfers can head over to the farming town (农业小镇) of Lemoore in southern California, which is home to the world’s first wave pool aimed at competitive surfing (竞技性的冲浪). Originally named after its founder, American surfing legend, 11-time world champion Kelly Slater, it was named WSL Surf Ranch after the World Surfing League acquired a majority stake (大股东) in 2016.
In the works since 2015, the $30 million facility opened on May 5, 2018 with a two-day Founders Cup that magnetized some of the world’s best surfers and over 5,000 fans. After Slater, competing for Team USA, introduced the weekend by flying through one of the waves, 25 professional surfers—divided into five teams representing the USA, Australia, Europe, Brazil, and the rest of the world—took turns to deal with the artificial swells (人工涌浪). The fierce competition ended with Team World taking home the gold. For $9,500, amateur surfers also got a chance to test the man-made tides for an hour, on Monday, following the event.
“Many were very doubtful before the event and every single one of them, having seen the wave live, couldn’t help but smile,” Shawn White, one of the lucky amateurs to ride the waves, agreed. The three-time Olympic champion said, “Man, it was incredible. I got pretty excited.”
12. Why was the wave pool once named Kelly Slater
A. He founded the pool.
B. He was a very famous surfer.
C. He provided a large sum of funds.
13. What does the underlined word “magnetized” in Paragraph 2 mean

14. When can amateur surfers test the artificial wave
A. On Monday. B. On Tuesday. C. On Thursday.
