“When I was young, I told my mother that I would go to China to learn kung fu one day. She didn’t believe it at the time. When I got there, I immediately called her and said, ‘Mom, guess where I am. I’m at the Shaolin Temple!’,” says Max Yollando, a young man from Coted’Ivoire, sharing his attachment for Chinese culture.
Yollando is also known as Yanming, the Chinese name he was given by his teacher at the Shaolin Temple, where the “Shaolin kung fu” was born, and which today is like a magnet (磁铁) for fans from all over the world.
At the time, Yollando was a student at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny University in Abidjan. Motivated by his passion for Chinese culture, he signed up at the Confucius Institute to study Chinese. In late 2016, he had the opportunity to visit the temple in Henan Province on a three-month exchange. This experience defined his close relationship with traditional Chinese culture.
After returning to Cote d’Ivoire, Yollando continued to practice Chinese and study traditional Chinese culture. In July 2017, he returned to the Shaolin Temple again and remained there for six years. His years at the temple reading, exercising, practicing kung fu and meditation (冥想) greatly changed him, and allowed him to better understand and appreciate traditional Chinese culture.
He says the most impressive things he noticed that rooted in Chinese culture are the love of work, respect and recognition. At the end of 2022, when he completed his studies at the temple, he began working at a Shaolin cultural center in Zambia. The first of its kind in Africa, the center is home to 30 orphans (孤儿), who are taught Chinese language and traditional Chinese culture, including kung fu, as part of the course.
For Yollando the purpose of studying Chinese culture was to be able to return to Africa to introduce Chinese values to his compatriots (同胞). “The culture fascinated me because in China, people make an effort to work better, and they are very respectful and grateful to their family and country,” he says.
4. Which can replace the underlined word “attachment” in paragraph 1
A. Confusion. B. Disappointment. C. Affection. D. Investigation.
5. What made Yollando truly related to traditional Chinese culture
A. Learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute.
B. Visiting the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province.
C. Reading traditional Chinese culture books.
D. Working at a Shaolin cultural center.
6. Which of the following can best describe Yollando
A. Brave. B. Determined. C. Humorous. D. Organized.
7. What can we learn about the Shaolin cultural center in Zambia
A. Its courses are all about Chinese culture. B. It was funded by the Shaolin Temple.
C. It is an official authorized agency. D. It is a charity.

A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections(注射)and other unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated(接种疫苗)against COVID-19. Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting vaccinated.
The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate(膨胀)in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while subjected to a medium heat stimulation, experienced less pain in the test than those who did not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply by lessening the experience of pain through using the robot.
The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured cortisol levels from the participants’ saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed.
The study proved that holding the robot can case the experience of patients who were receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.
8. What is the function of the robot
A. To assist doctors in injecting accurately.
B. To help relieve people’s pain from injections.
C. To evaluate patients’ physical and mental health.
D. To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
9. What does the underlined word “lessening” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Detecting.
B. Increasing.
C. Recording.
D. Decreasing.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Methods of testing the effectiveness of the robot.
B. Reasons for conducting the experiment on the robot.
C. The advantages of the new robot in the medical field.
D. The process of reducing people’s fear of injections.
11. What will researchers probably do next
A. Evaluate the risk of the robot.
B. Develop other devices for medical treatment.
C. Promote the application of the robot.
D. Carry out more tests on the robot.
D
A smoke bomb from a party started a major blaze (火焰) near Los Angeles in September,just one of many recent wildfires ignited (引燃) by people. Now, an analysis of satellite data shows human-caused blazes spread much faster and kill more trees than ones ignited by lightning.
Fire has always been a part of California’s natural history. But several centuries of human settlement have created new conditions that promote its spread.Studies have shown human ignition is to blame for 84% of all wildfires in the United States,and 97% of all those that threaten homes.
Human-caused fires always seemed more extreme, says Stijn Hantson,a fire ecologist at the University of California,Irvine,who led the new research. But measurements of how fast they spread and their impacts on ecosystems (生态系统) in California had not been explored, he notes.
To examine those differences, Hantson and his colleagues analyzed satellite data for 214 wildfires in California between 2012 and 2018.Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns,the team reports.The faster spreading fires also burned more violently and killed “double or triple” the trees as lightning-caused ones.
However, there is no fundamental difference in the chemistry of a human-caused blaze. “A fire is a fire” Hantson says. “It’s the surrounding things that matter.” Causes of fires ranging from improperly thrown cigarettes to sparking (冒火花) power lines could ignite a blaze on any given day, he says, while lightning strikes and dry thunderstorms only happen seasonally.
The researchers tracked meteorological data and found that human-caused fires were more likely to start on days with extreme weather conditions,and were more associated with drier,less-forested landscapes. This adds to scientists’ understanding of how humans are extending the fire season, says Nathan Mietkiewicz, an ecologist with the National Ecological Observation Network.
12. The author uses some data in paragraph 2 to show that ________.
A. wildfires are mostly caused by humans
B. most wildfires threaten people’s homes
C. wildfire is a part of California’s natural history
D. wildfires break out frequently in the United States
13. What’s the purpose of Hantson’s research
A. To prove how extreme human-caused fires are.
B. To find out the causes and solutions of wildfires.
C. To explore the speed and effects of wildfires caused by humans.
D. To examine the differences between a human-caused blaze and a nature-caused one.
14. How is the result presented in paragraph 4
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing cause and effect.
D. By giving definitions.
15. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Human-caused fires and lightning-caused fires are basically different.
B. Lightning strikes and thunderstorms can always lead to wildfires.
C. Wildfires only happen in dry,less-forested areas.
D. Humans are to blame for the extended fire season.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“There’s no way I’m leaving vacation early for Junior Varsity (JV) tennis tryouts (初中网球校队选拔赛) ,” my 14-year-old daughter Emily said. “I doubt whether I’ll make the team.”
“Do you want to be on the team ” I asked.
“I do, but I’ll probably get cut.”
As a little girl, Emily was fearless. But like many middle schoolers, she’ d started to become more cautious and less willing to make mistakes. My husband and I always said to our fearless daughter, “Honey, why not put yourself out there ”
Her brother Ben, then 15, looked up from his phone.
“Well, you know, you should try out for JV. You definitely won’t make the team if you don’t have a try,” he said.
“Are you out of your mind ” Emily asked. “If I take the challenge, what if I fail ”
“If you don’t take the challenge, what if you regret ” he responded.
We encouraged her to take risks, to own her goals, to learn from failure and to bounce back from disappointment. Finally, she was determined to tell the coach to have a try.
The night before JV tryouts, the coach emailed the player and explained the process. Each day, the girls could challenge the person directly above them on the ladder. At the end of the week, the top 12 players would make the team.
Emily came downstairs to show me the email, highlighting one data point in particular. “I told you,” she said. “I really am ranked the lowest. Number 25 out of 25 players.”
“Look on the bright side.” I said. “You’ve got nowhere to go but up.”
The next morning, she seemed a little nervous, and I patted her gently as encouragement. I drove her to the school playground, comforting “Come on, you have the whole week to find the result.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
When I picked her up that afternoon, she was noticeably calmer.

One week later, Emily, landing at Number 15, was cut from the tryout.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Emma,
Knowing that you are planning an English speech contest and collecting speech topics, I’m writing to propose the topic “Chinese story”.
It is well-known that Chinese culture and history is extensive and profound, which allows students to explore and share the richness of Chinese culture, history, and modern perspectives. What’s more, during the preparation for the topic, we students will gain a better knowledge of Chinese stories that we are interested in or not familiar with, thus fostering cultural appreciation and understanding among us.
I believe it will inspire engaging speeches and promote cultural learning and self-confidence./Hopefully, my speech topic will be favorably considered.
Yours,
Li Hua

When I picked her up that afternoon, she was noticeably calmer. She said she beat Number 24. “How did you make it ” I asked with curiosity. “I encouraged myself to look on the bright side instead of focusing on the final result.” she poured out her delight with her eyes filled with light and hope. Over the course of the week, she continued to challenge up, Number 22, Number 19... Obviously, the other girls were all technically better, but she spared no efforts to fight for every strike. To our relief, she didn’t give up halfway, but moved forward bravely with the tryout proceeding.
One week later, Emily, landing at Number 15, was cut from the tryout. I searched my mind for any possible word to comfort her, but in vain. However, she said with a determined look, “That’s OK. I have push myself out there.” What she really cared about was no longer the result itself but the fighting process. She accomplished more than what she had expected. Number 15, for her, was a sign to show a brand - new herself, overcoming her fear and stepping out of her comfort zone. Emily’s experience, for us, is a reminder: Learn to take risks, have the courage to fail and go down fighting.
