Even then my only friends were made of paper and ink. At school I had learned to read and write long before the other children. Where my school friends saw ink on pages, I saw light, streets and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a new world. My father didn't like to see books in the house. There was something about them that offended him. He used to tell me that I'd better get rid of all my crazy ideas if I didn't want to end up a nobody. I used to hide my books under the mattress(垫子) and wait for him to fall asleep so that I could read. Once he caught me reading at night and flew into a rage(愤怒). He tore the book from my hands and flung(扔、掷) it out of the window.
“If I catch you wasting electricity again, reading all this nonsense, you'll be sorry.”
My father was not a miser(吝啬鬼) and, despite the hardship we suffered, whenever he could he gave me a few coins so that I could buy myself some treats like the other children. He was convinced that I spent them on sweets, but I would keep them in a coffee tin under the bed, and when I'd collected enough coins I'd secretly rush out to buy myself a book.
My favorite place in the whole city was the Sempere & Sons Bookshop on Calle Sant Ana. The bookseller would let me sit on a chair in a corner and read any book I liked to my heart's content. When it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight on my soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever.
One Christmas Sempere gave me that best gift I had ever received. “Great expectations, by Charles Dickens,” I read on the cover. I was aware that Sempere knew a few authors who frequented his establishment(企业) and, judging by the care with which he handled the volume, I thought perhaps this Mr. Dickens was one of them.
“A friend of yours ”, I asked.
“A lifelong friend. And from now on, he's your friend too.” Sempere answered.
That afternoon I took my new friend home. It was a rainy winter, with days as gray as lead, and I read Great Expectations about nine times, partly because I had no other book at hand, partly because I did not think there could be a better one in the whole world and I was beginning to suspect that Mr. Dickens had written it just for me. Soon I was convinced that I didn't want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done.

Rhinoceros horns(犀牛角) are big business. Traditional Chinese medicine uses them to treat certain diseases, even though they have no actual therapeutic (治疗的) properties beyond comfort. And craftsmen carve them into dagger handles. A kilogram can thus command as much as $60,000, so there is tremendous appeal for poachers to hunt the animals. Since almost all rhinoceros populations are endangered, several critically, this is a serious problem.
Some conservationists therefore suggest that a way to reduce pressure on the animals might be to flood the market with fakes. This, they hope, would reduce the value of real horns and consequently the motivation to hunt rhinos.
That would require the fakes to be good. But Fritz Vollrath, a zoologist at Oxford University, thinks his skills as a forger(伪造者) are up to the challenge. As he writes in Scientific Reports, he and his colleagues from Fudan University, in Shanghai, have come up with a cheap and easy-to-make fake strikingly similar to the real thing.
The main ingredient of Dr. Vollrath's forged horns is horsehair. Despite their differing appearances, horses and rhinos are reasonably closely related. Horses do not have horns, of course. But, technically, neither do rhinos. The “horns” of rhinoceros are composed of hairs bound(捆绑) tightly together using a mixture of dead cells.
Examination under a microscope showed that hairs collected from horses’ tails had similar features to those found in the horns of rhinos except that horse hairs had a special layer absent in those of the rhino, but the researchers were able to remove this with a solution of lithium bromide(溴化锂溶液).
They bundled(捆绑) the treated horse hairs as tightly as they could in a mixture of a special glue, and then left the bundles in an oven to dry. The result was a material that, with some polishing, looked like rhino horn.
Whether to launch indistinguishable fakes onto the rhinoceros-horn market would truly reduce prices and demand remains to be tested. But it might. It is an old trick in warfare to leave the enemy with forged, worthless money. Something similar may yet help save the rhino.
61. What is the main reason for the illegal trade of rhinoceros horn s according to the passage
A. They are essential for traditional medicines.
B. They are used as a symbol of status and wealth.
C. They have obvious financial appeal.
D. They have strong medical value.
62. What suggestion do some conservationists propose to reduce the poaching
A. To ban the use of real horns in traditional Chinese medicine.
B. To improve the living environment for rhinos and avoid hunting.
C. Using the fake rhino horns to lower the value of real ones.
D. Increasing public awareness about rhino conservation
63. What is the component of the horns of rhinoceros, as described in the passage
A. A special type of horn tissue unique to rhinoceros.
B. Hairs bound together by a mixture of dead cells.
C. Dead cells mixed with bone material.
D. Bundled horse hairs in a special glue.
64. According to the passage, which of the following statements accurately describes the process of manufacturing fake horns
A Fake horns are made from actual rhinoceros hair and bone.
B. Fake horns are created by placing bundled horse hairs in an oven to dry.
C. Horse tails are directly bundled without any treatment before use.
D. Horse tails are treated specially to remove a specific layer before use.
65. According to the passage, what is the author's attitude towards launching fakes in the rhinoceros-horn market
A. The author sees it as a potentially beneficial, though untested, strategy.
B. The author is skeptical about the effectiveness of this approach.
C. The author believes it is a guaranteed solution to save rhinos.
D The author thinks it would harm the conservation efforts for rhinos.

China's video game industry is making headlines with the upcoming release of Black Myth:Wukong, developed-by Hangzhou-based Game Science. Planned for launch on PlayStation 5 and PC on August 20 (with an Xbox Series version also in development), this action RPG draws inspiration from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. Players control a character resembling the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, and experience impressive visuals and combat scenes influenced by Chinese folktales. The game has generated significant excitement, evident from the long queues at Gamescom and even instances of people breaking into Game Science’ s offices seeking employment.
The significance of Black Myth: Wukong lies in its potential impact on China's gaming ranking, which traditionally has not been known for producing high-profile single-player console games (单人主机游戏) due to historical console bans lasting until 2015. Instead, Chinese companies have focused on PC and mobile games. The game's success could signal a shift towards premium (高端的), single-player experiences in China, potentially influencing local players to embrace upfront payment models rather than free-to-play systems with monetization mechanics like gacha (抽卡游戏机制), as seen in games such as Genshin Impact.
Despite its potential, the international reputation of Chinese games is mixed. While Genshin Impact achieved global success, it faced criticism for its monetization approach. Black Myth:Wukong is positioned as a traditional premium title with a one-time purchase fee, and it could pave the way for more high-quality single-player games from China. Xuan Li, CEO of Thermite Games, is optimistic about the game's success opening doors for similar premium games in China. Chenyu Cui from Omdia also sees Black Myth: Wukong as a potential growth driver for the PC market in China, crediting this to its high-quality graphics and the international trending.
However, the game's launch has been ruined by controversy. In November 2023, IGN reported alleged sexism(性别歧视指控) at Game Science, citing problematic comments by co-founder Feng Ji and recruitment materials. The report led to significant extensive online discussion, with the writers facing harassment(骚扰), particularly from Chinese users. This intense reaction underscores the nationalistic pride and high expectations surrounding the game.
Black Myth: Wukong is set to make a significant impact, reflecting both the ambitions of China's gaming industry and the challenges it faces. The game's reception will be a key indicator of how well Chinese developers can transition into the premium console game market and reshape global perceptions of Chinese video games.
66. What do we know about the Chinese gaming market before 2015
A. It was dominated by single-player console games.
B. It had a strong focus on PC and mobile games.
C. It was primarily driven by high-quality graphics.
D. It was known for premium, single-player experiences.
67. What can be inferred about the impact of Black Myth: Wukong on China's gaming industry
A. It may lead to more focus on mobile gaming.
B. It is likely to decrease interest in PC gaming.
C. It may gradually change players' consumption habits.
D. It will have no significant effect on local gaming habits.
68. In the context of the passage, what does the underlined word “mixed” most likely mean
A. Uncertain and unclear
B. Both positive and negative
C. Diverse and varied
D. Constant and stable
69. According to the 4th paragraph, what criticism did Game Science face in November 2023
A. Delays in the release schedule.
B. Unfair recruitment practices within the company.
C. Improper remarks on sexism made by Feng Ji.
D. Negative feedback regarding the game's graphics.
70. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Classic Chinese novel Meets Modern Gaming
B. Black Myth: Wukong and the Future of Chinese Gaming
C. The Controversy Behind Black Myth: Wukong's Launch
D. Game Science's Breakthrough with Black Myth: Wukong

I remembered an incident when I was a teenage girl clearly. Once, I was travelling by train with my mom and my elder sister to visit my grandparents in another city. It was a day journey and we entered the ladies compartment(车室) of the train. It was crowded but we got seats and settled down. We kept our luggage under the seats and waited for the train to start.
Ladies kept on coming inside. The seats were quickly taken. Only one seat was empty when a woman with a baby entered. She was about to go over to the empty place when a big and strong man entered and walked to the seat quickly, sitting down with a thump(重击声).Therefore, the lady with the child held on to her bag and stood in the corner. I was watching all this angrily. I expected the woman standing there or any of the other ladies to speak out to ask the man to leave the ladies compartment.
However, no one spoke. My mom and my sister had their eyes shut to rest, unaware of anything wrong. I decided I could not disturb them. I could have offered my place but I was already squashed(挤扁) between my mom and my sister.
The train started. The woman standing beside the man was swaying(摇摆) to and FRO with the train, with the screaming child in her arms. However, the mannerless man had no reaction. I was furious with the man for his bad behavior. I could no longer bear it, so I decided to help the woman in some way. I got up and walked calmly over to the man. I asked him if he could read. He made a bad face and said he could. Next, I asked him to read what was written on the back of his seat. He did so and saw" Ladies" on it. He got the point and left the compartment in a big hurry, almost falling.
