As a child, Huang Rongbing would watch his mother, Wen Xiuzhen, comb her long and thick hair. After forming a bun (圆发髻) at the back of her head, she would decorate it with colorful flowers, the 34- year- old recalled.
All the women in the small fishing village of Xunpu in Quanzhou, Fujia n province, had long hair like Wen. The colorful and distinctive floral headdress she often wore is known as zanhua or zanhuawei. It is listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008. As an old saying in Xunpu goes, “put flowers in your hair in this life and you’ll also be pretty in the afterlife.”
The head ornament (装饰品) ultimately inspired Huang’s career path. In 2016, he and his older sister opened a salon where tourists could get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zanhua,” said Huang.
Yin Siqi is one of Huang’s customers. Wen put flowers on Yin’s bun, which formed a circular shape that symbolized unity, perfection and completion. Yin returned to the village several times and took photos of herself in traditional Xunpu dress and wearing a zanhua. One of her social media posts received over 40, 000 “likes”.
In 2022, Hu Titi, another customer, traveled to visit Wen and undergo the full zanhua experience. Last year, she brought zanhua culture to Paris in France. Under the Eiffel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair. The increase in tourist visits has pleased Huang not just from a business standpoint but also because it has led to greater awareness of the history and culture behind zanhua headwear.
“Earning a reputation for their hard work, perseverance and compassion (同情心) , the women of Xunpu are well- known for harvesting the highest quality seafood,” said Huang. “When they put a zanhua on their heads, they express their wish to pursue happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope,” he added.
24. Why is Huang’s mother mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To describe the distinctive appearance of Huang’s mother.
B. To highlight Huang’s strong attachment to his mother.
C. To present to readers a typical headdress in Huang’s hometown.
D. To attract more tourists to Huang’s hometown.
25. What does zanhua symbolize in the eyes of the local women
A. Everlasting beauty and happiness. B. Continuous existence in the afterlife.
C. The possibility of earning more money. D. Opportunities to promote local tourism.
26. What is the probable reason for Yin Siqi returning to the village for several times
A. She aimed to introduce zanhua culture of Xunpu to Paris.
B. She intended to learn Wen’s way to put flowers on the bun.
C. She wanted to share her photos of wearing zanhua on social media.
D. She decided to set up her own business to sell zanhua online.

The sun’s “sneeze” arrived as predicted! China’s National Center for Space Weather (NCSW) forecast geomagnetic (地磁的) activities to occur from March 24 to 26. According to geomagnetic monitoring data, Earth experienced a geomagnetic storm that lasted for 12 hours on March 25.
Geomagnetic storms happen due to coronal mass ejections (CMEs, 日冕物质抛射) during which some material from the sun’s outer layer makes its way to Earth. They can shoot out a huge amount of material and carry a strong magnetic field, which causes major changes in Earth’s magnetic environment.
“Geomagnetic storms can disrupt (干扰) radio waves and cause problems for ground communication and satellite signals,” Professor Cai Zheng from Tsinghua University told Xinhua. This can influence the accuracy of navigation (导航) systems and the quality of signals for phones and satellite TV. Strong geomagnetic storms can also impact power transmission systems, even resulting in power outages (停电) .
To mitigate the effects of geomagnetic storms, it’s recommended to power off unnecessary electronic devices, especially high-powered ones, to prevent damage or fire. Critical equipment and infrastructure (基础设施) also require special protective measures, including regular checks and data backups, noted Guangming Daily.
Intense geomagnetic activity can also affect the migration (迁徙) and navigation abilities of animals. For instance, homing pigeons rely on Earth’s magnetic field for navigation during flight. Geomagnetic storms can affect their ability to find their way, making it difficult for them to return home.
Despite these disruptions, what about the impact of such storms on humans Shortly after recent geomagnetic storm, the topic of “geomagnetic storm, the topic of “geomagnetic storms and sleep” trended on Sina Weibo with some internet users claiming that they had trouble sleeping. However, it was just a convenient excuse. “Geomagnetic storms usually don’t influence human health,” Zong Weiguo at China Meteorological Administration told Science and Technology Daily.
Not only do geomagnetic storms have minimal (极小的) impact on humans, they also deliver an unexpected gift — auroras (极光) . During such a storm, charged particles (粒子) from space are guided by Earth’s magnetic field into the atmosphere. When these particles hit atoms in the upper atmosphere, they release energy, causing the glowing lights known as auroras. In the early morning of March 25, auroras appeared in Genhe in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region and Mohe in Heilongjiang.
28. What causes geomagnetic storms
A. Magnetic disturbance within Earth’s core.
B. Solar winds interacting with satellite signals.
C. Material escaping from the sun’s outer atmosphere.
D. Electromagnetic disruption from human activities.
29. What might happen during geomagnetic storms
A. Mobile phones power off easily. B. Animals migrate more frequently.
C. People find it difficult to sleep. D. Satellite signals become unstable.
30. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Strengthen B. Reduce C. Change D. Monitor
31. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To discuss the causes of geomagnetic storms.
B. To report some recent geomagnetic storms.
C. To make readers learn about geomagnetic storms.
D. To explain the scientific facts behind auroras.
D
You’ve probably followed a few cute dogs and cats on social media. However, are you aware that AI-generated pets are also gaining popularity nowadays They are just as adorable as real dogs and cats but also exhibit human-like characteristics.
Chai Dada (not her real name), 21, runs an AI-generated dog account called “Shizhuangzhuangya” on Xiaohonghshu and has already got more than 10,000 followers. Her Al-generated pet Zhuangzhuang is a fluffy (毛茸茸) Shiba Inu (柴犬) with a big belly who likes to eat and work out. “Zhuangzhuang is actually an embodiment (化身) of me,” Chai said. “Its life and mood basically reflect my own.”
In 2023, the rise of AI tools made Chai very curious. She used it to generate different animals that acted like humans and posted them on Xiaohongshu for fun. “Gradually I came to focus on Zhuangzhuang because it is the cutest and represents me the most,” Chai commented.
To personify the character more, the young content maker places Zhuangzhuang in various daily life scenarios (预想方案) . For instance, to respond to the recent surge (剧增) of “hui nan tian” — the super humid (潮湿) weather in southern China in spring — Chai posted images of Zhuangzhuang mopping a wet floor, with the caption (文案) , “It’s wet everywhere at home”, vividly capturing the mood. In the comments section, many have expressed sympathy for the poor dog.
“Many scenes may seem ordinary, but when a very lifelike and adorable anthropomorphic (拟人化的) pet appears in these familiar scenes, it looks interesting,” Chai said.
Since Zhuangzhuang closely resembles (像) a human in a dog’s body, many followers have come to believe in its real existence. This has provided Chai with opportunities to monetize (变现赚钱) by partnering with brands for product advertisements. Aiming to expand her reach, Chai expressed a desire to delve (探究) deeper into AI to bring her AI pet to life not just in pictures but also in videos.
She also observed that more and more people like her are becoming AI pet bloggers, which has intensified competition in this industry. To attract more fans, bloggers are constantly learning more AI skills and brainstorming to create more interesting storylines. “I want to develop Zhuangzhuang into an intellectual property and create related cultural and creative products such as dolls and stickers,” said Chai.
32. What do we know about the AI pet Zhuangzhuang
A. It is a digital reproduction of Chai’s childhood pet.
B. It has gained over one million followers online.
C. It is a virtual image of a real dog, Zhuangzhuang.
D. It mirrors the life and personality of its creator.
33. Why is the “hui nan tian” example mentioned in the text
A. To show the fun Zhuangzhuang brings Chai. B. To illustrate how Chai humanizes Zhuangzhuang.
C. To describe Zhuangzhuang’s daily struggles. D. To suggest Zhuangzhuang’s growing fanbase.
34. Which of the following best describes Zhuangzhuang
A. Humorous and naughty. B. Competitive and fat.
C. Energetic and confident. D. Lifelike and cute.
35. What does Chai plan to do
A. Perfect Zhuangzhuang’s features. B. Cooperate with other AI pet creators.
C. Produce videos featuring Zhuangzhuang. D. Create more AI-generated animals.

Chai Dada (not her real name), 21, runs an AI-generated dog account called “Shizhuangzhuangya” on Xiaohonghshu and has already got more than 10,000 followers. Her Al-generated pet Zhuangzhuang is a fluffy (毛茸茸) Shiba Inu (柴犬) with a big belly who likes to eat and work out. “Zhuangzhuang is actually an embodiment (化身) of me,” Chai said. “Its life and mood basically reflect my own.”

This has provided Chai with opportunities to monetize (变现赚钱) by partnering with brands for product advertisements. Aiming to expand her reach, Chai expressed a desire to delve (探究) deeper into AI to bring her AI pet to life not just in pictures but also in videos.
She also observed that more and more people like her are becoming AI pet bloggers, which has intensified competition in this industry. To attract more fans, bloggers are constantly learning more AI skills and brainstorming to create more interesting storylines. “I want to develop Zhuangzhuang into an intellectual property and create related cultural and creative products such as dolls and stickers,” said Chai.

Billy hated his new school in Ohio and he was sure everyone at his new school hated him. Changing schools and home at twelve because his parents died was awful. Billy missed his parents, and he missed his friends of New York. His grandpa Jimmy was doing his best, but Billy was sure he’d hate Ohi o forever.
“Billy,” his teacher said, “you’re new, so you don’t know about our Spring School Festival. We have a barbecue and various competitions for children and parents. It’s fun, and it will be a good opportunity for you to get to know everyone better!” But Billy didn’t think so and he didn’t want to attend the festival. The teacher smiled, “You have to. I’m sending a note to your parents!” Billy replied he only had his grandpa.
The other kids were looking at him and whispering to each other. Billy felt like a freak (怪人). His face turned red and his eyes were filled with tears. “He’s crying!” said some kids. “Cry-baby! Cry-baby!”
Upset, Billy walked home with the note from his teacher. He handed the note to Jimmy, saying they had to go to the bad festival. Jimmy said, “The Spring School Festival Oh, it’s fun.” “Right!” Billy sighed. “I don’t have parents, so I’ll be even more of a freak.” Jimmy, a previous soldier, replied thoughtfully, “I used to compete when your dad was your age. I even won a few times.” Billy was excited, thinking he’d get major respect if his grandpa won this game.
However, the 60-year-old Jimmy wasn’t young any longer and doubted whether he could still win. But to cheer Billy and give him confidence in the new school, he determined to compete and try to win Parent of the Year. To achieve it, he had to at least won three competitions of the four: pie baking, sock repairing, egg race (walking with an egg on a spoon) , and archery (射箭) .
Knowing the competitions, Billy thought it would be challenging for his grandpa to win, and hoped his schoolmates wouldn’t laugh when finding an old man in competitions. With a heavy heart, Billy set off for the festival. He felt embarrassed. when Jimmy signed up for the competitions and the pretty lady taking down names laughed, “Are you sure, sir ”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“Quite sure, young lady!” he said and nodded cheerfully. Then he marched onto the field. Seeing such an old man compete with young parents, the audience broke into laughter. Billy’s face flushed with embarrassment. However, when Jimmy baked a beautiful fruit pie, the laughter died down, replaced by applause and cheers. The sock-repairing was another success! Jimmy emptied his sock basket even faster than those young moms. Later, Jimmy ran the egg race and crossed the finish line well ahead of the rest of competitors.
Paragraph 2:
After winning the first 3 games, Jimmy went for the archery competition. Jimmy picked up the bow with confidence. He drew the bowstring and flew the arrow! He made it to the center of the target. “The winner of Parent of the Year goes to Bill’s grandpa, Jimmy!” announced the school principal. Many kids cast admiring glances on Billy and his grandpa. Some even surrounded them, begging Jimmy to share his stories as a soldier. At the very moment, Billy’s face lit up with pride. It was the efforts of his grandpa that helped him fit in with the new class.

As a child, Huang Rongbing would watch his mother, Wen Xiuzhen, comb her long and thick hair. After forming a bun (圆发髻) at the back of her head, she would decorate it with colorful flowers, the 34- year- old recalled.
All the women in the small fishing village of Xunpu in Quanzhou, Fujia n province, had long hair like Wen. The colorful and distinctive floral headdress she often wore is known as zanhua or zanhuawei. It is listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008. As an old saying in Xunpu goes, “put flowers in your hair in this life and you’ll also be pretty in the afterlife.”
The head ornament (装饰品) ultimately inspired Huang’s career path. In 2016, he and his older sister opened a salon where tourists could get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zanhua,” said Huang.
Yin Siqi is one of Huang’s customers. Wen put flowers on Yin’s bun, which formed a circular shape that symbolized unity, perfection and completion. Yin returned to the village several times and took photos of herself in traditional Xunpu dress and wearing a zanhua. One of her social media posts received over 40, 000 “likes”.
In 2022, Hu Titi, another customer, traveled to visit Wen and undergo the full zanhua experience. Last year, she brought zanhua culture to Paris in France. Under the Eiffel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair. The increase in tourist visits has pleased Huang not just from a business standpoint but also because it has led to greater awareness of the history and culture behind zanhua headwear.
“Earning a reputation for their hard work, perseverance and compassion (同情心) , the women of Xunpu are well- known for harvesting the highest quality seafood,” said Huang. “When they put a zanhua on their heads, they express their wish to pursue happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope,” he added.
24. Why is Huang’s mother mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To describe the distinctive appearance of Huang’s mother.
B. To highlight Huang’s strong attachment to his mother.
C. To present to readers a typical headdress in Huang’s hometown.
D. To attract more tourists to Huang’s hometown.
25. What does zanhua symbolize in the eyes of the local women
A. Everlasting beauty and happiness. B. Continuous existence in the afterlife.
C. The possibility of earning more money. D. Opportunities to promote local tourism.
26. What is the probable reason for Yin Siqi returning to the village for several times
A. She aimed to introduce zanhua culture of Xunpu to Paris.
B. She intended to learn Wen’s way to put flowers on the bun.
C. She wanted to share her photos of wearing zanhua on social media.
D. She decided to set up her own business to sell zanhua online.
27 What is the most suitable title of the passage
A Zanhua — an eye-catching headdress leading to the culture of Xunpu.
B. Xunpu Women — working hard and hoping for hope and happiness.
C. Huang Rongbing — a businessman to introduce Xunpu to the world.
D. Xunpu — a fishing village featuring a rich history and colorful culture.

The sun’s “sneeze” arrived as predicted! China’s National Center for Space Weather (NCSW) forecast geomagnetic (地磁的) activities to occur from March 24 to 26. According to geomagnetic monitoring data, Earth experienced a geomagnetic storm that lasted for 12 hours on March 25.
Geomagnetic storms happen due to coronal mass ejections (CMEs, 日冕物质抛射) during which some material from the sun’s outer layer makes its way to Earth. They can shoot out a huge amount of material and carry a strong magnetic field, which causes major changes in Earth’s magnetic environment.
“Geomagnetic storms can disrupt (干扰) radio waves and cause problems for ground communication and satellite signals,” Professor Cai Zheng from Tsinghua University told Xinhua. This can influence the accuracy of navigation (导航) systems and the quality of signals for phones and satellite TV. Strong geomagnetic storms can also impact power transmission systems, even resulting in power outages (停电) .
To mitigate the effects of geomagnetic storms, it’s recommended to power off unnecessary electronic devices, especially high-powered ones, to prevent damage or fire. Critical equipment and infrastructure (基础设施) also require special protective measures, including regular checks and data backups, noted Guangming Daily.
Intense geomagnetic activity can also affect the migration (迁徙) and navigation abilities of animals. For instance, homing pigeons rely on Earth’s magnetic field for navigation during flight. Geomagnetic storms can affect their ability to find their way, making it difficult for them to return home.
Despite these disruptions, what about the impact of such storms on humans Shortly after recent geomagnetic storm, the topic of “geomagnetic storm, the topic of “geomagnetic storms and sleep” trended on Sina Weibo with some internet users claiming that they had trouble sleeping. However, it was just a convenient excuse. “Geomagnetic storms usually don’t influence human health,” Zong Weiguo at China Meteorological Administration told Science and Technology Daily.
Not only do geomagnetic storms have minimal (极小的) impact on humans, they also deliver an unexpected gift — auroras (极光) . During such a storm, charged particles (粒子) from space are guided by Earth’s magnetic field into the atmosphere. When these particles hit atoms in the upper atmosphere, they release energy, causing the glowing lights known as auroras. In the early morning of March 25, auroras appeared in Genhe in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region and Mohe in Heilongjiang.
28. What causes geomagnetic storms
A. Magnetic disturbance within Earth’s core.
B. Solar winds interacting with satellite signals.
C. Material escaping from the sun’s outer atmosphere.
D. Electromagnetic disruption from human activities.
29. What might happen during geomagnetic storms
A. Mobile phones power off easily. B. Animals migrate more frequently.
C. People find it difficult to sleep. D. Satellite signals become unstable.
30. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Strengthen B. Reduce C. Change D. Monitor
31. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To discuss the causes of geomagnetic storms.
B. To report some recent geomagnetic storms.
C. To make readers learn about geomagnetic storms.
D. To explain the scientific facts behind auroras.

WORKING IN THE UK
Many international students learning English in the UK have the question of whether they’ll be allowed to work in the UK during their studies. Here English UK may help you.

As a child, Huang Rongbing would watch his mother, Wen Xiuzhen, comb her long and thick hair. After forming a bun (圆发髻) at the back of her head, she would decorate it with colorful flowers, the 34- year- old recalled.
All the women in the small fishing village of Xunpu in Quanzhou, Fujia n province, had long hair like Wen. The colorful and distinctive floral headdress she often wore is known as zanhua or zanhuawei. It is listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008. As an old saying in Xunpu goes, “put flowers in your hair in this life and you’ll also be pretty in the afterlife.”
The head ornament (装饰品) ultimately inspired Huang’s career path. In 2016, he and his older sister opened a salon where tourists could get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zanhua,” said Huang.
Yin Siqi is one of Huang’s customers. Wen put flowers on Yin’s bun, which formed a circular shape that symbolized unity, perfection and completion. Yin returned to the village several times and took photos of herself in traditional Xunpu dress and wearing a zanhua. One of her social media posts received over 40, 000 “likes”.
In 2022, Hu Titi, another customer, traveled to visit Wen and undergo the full zanhua experience. Last year, she brought zanhua culture to Paris in France. Under the Eiffel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair. The increase in tourist visits has pleased Huang not just from a business standpoint but also because it has led to greater awareness of the history and culture behind zanhua headwear.
“Earning a reputation for their hard work, perseverance and compassion (同情心) , the women of Xunpu are well- known for harvesting the highest quality seafood,” said Huang. “When they put a zanhua on their heads, they express their wish to pursue happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope,” he added.
24. Why is Huang’s mother mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To describe the distinctive appearance of Huang’s mother.
B. To highlight Huang’s strong attachment to his mother.
C. To present to readers a typical headdress in Huang’s hometown.
D. To attract more tourists to Huang’s hometown.
25. What does zanhua symbolize in the eyes of the local women
A. Everlasting beauty and happiness. B. Continuous existence in the afterlife.
C. The possibility of earning more money. D. Opportunities to promote local tourism.
26. What is the probable reason for Yin Siqi returning to the village for several times
A. She aimed to introduce zanhua culture of Xunpu to Paris.
B She intended to learn Wen’s way to put flowers on the bun.
C. She wanted to share her photos of wearing zanhua on social media.
D. She decided to set up her own business to sell zanhua online.
27. What is the most suitable title of the passage
A. Zanhua — an eye-catching headdress leading to the culture of Xunpu.
B. Xunpu Women — working hard and hoping for hope and happiness.
C. Huang Rongbing — a businessman to introduce Xunpu to the world.
D. Xunpu — a fishing village featuring a rich history and colorful culture.

The sun’s “sneeze” arrived as predicted! China’s National Center for Space Weather (NCSW) forecast geomagnetic (地磁的) activities to occur from March 24 to 26. According to geomagnetic monitoring data, Earth experienced a geomagnetic storm that lasted for 12 hours on March 25.
Geomagnetic storms happen due to coronal mass ejections (CMEs, 日冕物质抛射) during which some material from the sun’s outer layer makes its way to Earth. They can shoot out a huge amount of material and carry a strong magnetic field, which causes major changes in Earth’s magnetic environment.
“Geomagnetic storms can disrupt (干扰) radio waves and cause problems for ground communication and satellite signals,” Professor Cai Zheng from Tsinghua University told Xinhua. This can influence the accuracy of navigation (导航) systems and the quality of signals for phones and satellite TV. Strong geomagnetic storms can also impact power transmission systems, even resulting in power outages (停电) .
To mitigate the effects of geomagnetic storms, it’s recommended to power off unnecessary electronic devices, especially high-powered ones, to prevent damage or fire. Critical equipment and infrastructure (基础设施) also require special protective measures, including regular checks and data backups, noted Guangming Daily.
Intense geomagnetic activity can also affect the migration (迁徙) and navigation abilities of animals. For instance, homing pigeons rely on Earth’s magnetic field for navigation during flight. Geomagnetic storms can affect their ability to find their way, making it difficult for them to return home.
Despite these disruptions, what about the impact of such storms on humans Shortly after recent geomagnetic storm, the topic of “geomagnetic storm, the topic of “geomagnetic storms and sleep” trended on Sina Weibo with some internet users claiming that they had trouble sleeping. However, it was just a convenient excuse. “Geomagnetic storms usually don’t influence human health,” Zong Weiguo at China Meteorological Administration told Science and Technology Daily.
Not only do geomagnetic storms have minimal (极小的) impact on humans, they also deliver an unexpected gift — auroras (极光) . During such a storm, charged particles (粒子) from space are guided by Earth’s magnetic field into the atmosphere. When these particles hit atoms in the upper atmosphere, they release energy, causing the glowing lights known as auroras. In the early morning of March 25, auroras appeared in Genhe in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region and Mohe in Heilongjiang.
28. What causes geomagnetic storms
A. Magnetic disturbance within Earth’s core.
B. Solar winds interacting with satellite signals.
C. Material escaping from the sun’s outer atmosphere.
D. Electromagnetic disruption from human activities.
29. What might happen during geomagnetic storms
A. Mobile phones power off easily. B. Animals migrate more frequently.
C. People find it difficult to sleep. D. Satellite signals become unstable.
30. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Strengthen B. Reduce C. Change D. Monitor
31. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To discuss the causes of geomagnetic storms.
B. To report some recent geomagnetic storms.
C. To make readers learn about geomagnetic storms.
D. To explain the scientific facts behind auroras.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. C
D
You’ve probably followed a few cute dogs and cats on social media. However, are you aware that AI-generated pets are also gaining popularity nowadays They are just as adorable as real dogs and cats but also exhibit human-like characteristics.
Chai Dada (not her real name), 21, runs an AI-generated dog account called “Shizhuangzhuangya” on Xiaohonghshu and has already got more than 10,000 followers. Her Al-generated pet Zhuangzhuang is a fluffy (毛茸茸) Shiba Inu (柴犬) with a big belly who likes to eat and work out. “Zhuangzhuang is actually an embodiment (化身) of me,” Chai said. “Its life and mood basically reflect my own.”
In 2023, the rise of AI tools made Chai very curious. She used it to generate different animals that acted like humans and posted them on Xiaohongshu for fun. “Gradually I came to focus on Zhuangzhuang because it is the cutest and represents me the most,” Chai commented.
To personify the character more, the young content maker places Zhuangzhuang in various daily life scenarios (预想方案) . For instance, to respond to the recent surge (剧增) of “hui nan tian” — the super humid (潮湿) weather in southern China in spring — Chai posted images of Zhuangzhuang mopping a wet floor, with the caption (文案) , “It’s wet everywhere at home”, vividly capturing the mood. In the comments section, many have expressed sympathy for the poor dog.
“Many scenes may seem ordinary, but when a very lifelike and adorable anthropomorphic (拟人化的) pet appears in these familiar scenes, it looks interesting,” Chai said.
Since Zhuangzhuang closely resembles (像) a human in a dog’s body, many followers have come to believe in its real existence. This has provided Chai with opportunities to monetize (变现赚钱) by partnering with brands for product advertisements. Aiming to expand her reach, Chai expressed a desire to delve (探究) deeper into AI to bring her AI pet to life not just in pictures but also in videos.
She also observed that more and more people like her are becoming AI pet bloggers, which has intensified competition in this industry. To attract more fans, bloggers are constantly learning more AI skills and brainstorming to create more interesting storylines. “I want to develop Zhuangzhuang into an intellectual property and create related cultural and creative products such as dolls and stickers,” said Chai.
32. What do we know about the AI pet Zhuangzhuang
A. It is a digital reproduction of Chai’s childhood pet.
B. It has gained over one million followers online.
C. It is a virtual image of a real dog, Zhuangzhuang.
D. It mirrors the life and personality of its creator.
33. Why is the “hui nan tian” example mentioned in the text
A. To show the fun Zhuangzhuang brings Chai. B. To illustrate how Chai humanizes Zhuangzhuang.
C. To describe Zhuangzhuang’s daily struggles. D. To suggest Zhuangzhuang’s growing fanbase.
34. Which of the following best describes Zhuangzhuang
A Humorous and naughty. B. Competitive and fat.
C. Energetic and confident. D. Lifelike and cute.
35. What does Chai plan to do
A. Perfect Zhuangzhuang’s features. B. Cooperate with other AI pet creators.
C. Produce videos featuring Zhuangzhuang. D. Create more AI-generated animals.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. C

【答案】Paragraph 1:
“Quite sure, young lady!” he said and nodded cheerfully. Then he marched onto the field. Seeing such an old man compete with young parents, the audience broke into laughter. Billy’s face flushed with embarrassment. However, when Jimmy baked a beautiful fruit pie, the laughter died down, replaced by applause and cheers. The sock-repairing was another success! Jimmy emptied his sock basket even faster than those young moms. Later, Jimmy ran the egg race and crossed the finish line well ahead of the rest of competitors.
Paragraph 2:
After winning the first 3 games, Jimmy went for the archery competition. Jimmy picked up the bow with confidence. He drew the bowstring and flew the arrow! He made it to the center of the target. “The winner of Parent of the Year goes to Bill’s grandpa, Jimmy!” announced the school principal. Many kids cast admiring glances on Billy and his grandpa. Some even surrounded them, begging Jimmy to share his stories as a soldier. At the very moment, Billy’s face lit up with pride. It was the efforts of his grandpa that helped him fit in with the new class.
