In the live-streaming(直播) channel of Yang Weiyun, no singing or dancing is performed nor are products sold. Yang teaches pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. The difference is her students are mostly adults.
The 73-year-old comes from Huainan city of Anhui province and is an experienced educator. She had been a Chinese teacher in an elementary school for 50 years. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms gave her the idea of continuing her education attempt through live-streaming online. The retiree opened her live-streaming account in May 2021 and offered free pinyin courses designed for kindergarten pupils about to attend primary schools. However, she gradually learned among her viewers there are a lot of illiterate(文盲) adults.
Yang said she found many illiterate adults develop a sense of lack of confidence. They are afraid to go to new places, worried that they couldn’t teach their children or read their boss’s instructions. So, she added targeted content(内容) to meet their needs. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. They are the ones in urgent need of becoming literate. I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said.
According to the seventh national census(人口普查) carried out last year, there are 38 million illiterate adults in China. Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.
Yang said students learning through her live-streaming channel each have their own demands. So she always prepares her classes carefully after concluding a live-streaming session. She has tried her best to figure out what ways the students can learn and remember better, and her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate from her classes.
24. What’s Yang’s original purpose when she attempted teaching online
A. To teach retired adults Chinese.
B. To spread Chinese character culture.
C. To teach kids before primary school.
D. To sell products in her live-streaming channel.
25. Why does Yang’s live-streaming class become a hit among adults
A. She was an experienced and respectable teacher.
B. Many people believe her classes are beneficial for their children.
C. Her class is vivid and lively with singing or dancing performance.
D. Many illiterate adults can learn Chinese in an easy and private way in her class.
26. Which of the following can best describe Yang
A. Devoted and helpful. B. Caring and brave.
C. Warm-hearted and strict. D. Persistent and honest.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. Making Full Use of Live-streaming
B. Illiterate Adults Receiving Free Courses
C. Learning Through Short Video Platforms
D. A Retired Teacher and Her Live-streaming Courses

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt(融化). The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwates severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take your s to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving another road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with old(奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even(偶数的) numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousand s of years.
28. What does the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph I probably mean
A. Separated. B. Trucked. C. Decorated. D. Improved.
29. What was the possible result of the flood
A. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
B. Gardiner’s economy would get into trouble.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The park’s south gate was closed for a while.
30. What can be inferred from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The park has adopted a new system to recognize faces.
C. The license plate number decides when cars enter the park.
D. More tourists may flood into the park for geological features.
31. Which of the following statements is true according to the text
A. Natural beauty makes Yellowstone famous.
B. Yellowstone National Park is closed due to flooding.
C. People can visit Yellowstone National Park any day.
D. Flooding has caused widespread damage in the US.
D
Who would have thought a teenager’s mobile phone could help them manage their mental health by supporting a good night’s sleep A new app aimed at 12-to 16-year-olds is showing strong early results, improving both the hours of sleep and reducing depression and anxiety.
Sleep Ninja, a free app created by a mental health research organization—the Black Dog Institute, has shown significant early results in improving teenagers’ sleep patterns(模式), so critical not just for school readiness but for overall good mental health, co-creator Aliza Werner-Seidler said.
“Adolescents(青少年) struggle to get the recommended 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night,” Dr Werner-Seidler, a clinical psychologist, said. “As a result, approximately 40 percent of all young people will experience a significant sleep problem by early high school which heightens their risk of mental ill-health, which is a risk factor for a range of disorders including depression and anxiety.”
Those using the app nominate a time to be up in the morning to make it to school or other activities. From there, it work backwards, determining when they should be in bed. The app gives an alert to start a pre-bed routine, which launches at least an hour before bed time. Part of that routine is to put the phone and other devices away, and engage in behaviors more suitable to sleep. Some of this is simply to have a shower, clean teeth, read a book. But the app also offers a form of practical tips to help them establish sleep routines, things like how to set up their bedroom, what to do during the day to improve their chances of sleep and how to reduce those negative repetitive thoughts that come in at night.
Dr Werner-Seidler said Sleep Ninja was the only such app designed specifically for adolescents, and the results so far had been very encouraging. She added that we also saw rate s of depression drop from 77 percent at the start of the study to 44 percent after using the app.
32. What do we know about Sleep Ninja
A. It aims to improve adults’ mental health.
B. It’s a new mobile phone for teenagers.
C. It is invented by 12-to 16-year-olds.
D. It’s a free app designed by Black Dog Institute.
33. What does the third paragraph focus on
A. The creating process of Sleep Ninja. B. The heavy burden of schooling.
C. The practical need for Sleep Ninja. D. The cost of making Sleep Ninja.
34. How can Sleep Ninja work on teenagers
A. By reducing negative repetitive thoughts.
B. By setting an alert in the morning.
C. By putting digital devices away.
D. By helping form good sleep routines.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Education Report. B. Society Report.
C. Health Report. D. Entertainment Report.
