German sinologist (汉学家) Martin Woesler recently made his first visit to the ancient Silk Road center of Dunhuang in northwest China’s Gansu Province, where he was amazed by the city’s unique cultural charm.
Starting from Hunan Normal University, where he currently teaches, Woesler traveled to attend the fourth Dialogue on Exchanges and Mutual Learning among Civilizations, an international conference held in Dunhuang from May 29 to 31. During his brief stay in Gansu, he joined scholars from all around the world in sharing ideas about cross-cultural dialogue.
When standing in front of the Mogao Grottoes for the first time, he was deeply impressed by an unexpected sense of cultural connection-one that bridged both time and geography. In Cave 285, the wall paintings feature an amazing mix of figures — Apollo and Diana from Greek mythology, Fuxi and Nuwa from Chinese legends, flying apsaras (飞天) from Indian Buddhism and feathered immortals (神) from Daoism. It is these mixed civilizations that form the cultural wonder showed in Dunhuang, noted Woesler.
Woesler’s connection with China began 38 years ago when he was attracted by a Chinese poem at a poetry reading in Germany. Having lived, worked, and studied in China for 30 years, he had already known Dunhuang as an oasis (绿洲) city surrounded by desert, a treasure house of art and heritage, and a cultural crossroads shaped by centuries of Silk Road exchanges.
For decades, Woesler has worked to bridge the gap between cultures. His career has frequently taken him between Germany and China, and he remains committed to helping the world better understand Chinese literature and culture. He believes that even today, people from different countries can still draw wisdom and strength from it. His journey to Dunhuang has now brought new reflections on cultural dialogue in the digital age.
4. Why did Woesler visit Dunhuang
A. To study ancient wall paintings. B. To attend an international conference.
C. To explore the Silk Road history. D. To teach at a Chinese university.
5. What deeply impressed Woesler about the Mogao Grottoes
A. The influence of Indian Buddhism.
B. The combination of different cultures.
C. The well-protected paintings on the wall.
D. The attractive oasis city surrounded by desert.
6. What does Woesler believe about cultural exchange
A. It succeeds on digital platforms.
B. It is limited to historical contexts.
C. It plays a key role in modern society.
D. It should attach importance to traditions.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. The History of Silk Road: From Ancient Trade to Modern Dialogue.
B. The Magic of Mogao Grottoes: A Treasure House of Art and Heritage.
C. A Challenge in Digital Age: Bridging the Gap between Different Cultures.
D. A Sinologist’s Journey: Rediscovering Dunhuang’s Cultural Combination.
C
Many pet owners believe their animals can sense their feelings, but what does science say Researchers have found evidence that some animals do respond to human emotions, though the reasons may be more practical than emotional.
Dogs are particularly good at reading human signals. A study from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna used brain scans to show that dogs react differently to happy and angry human voices. Their brains light up in reward centers when hearing praise, suggesting they associate positive tones with good outcomes. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean dogs “feel” for us—it may just be smart learning from years of living with humans.
Dolphins show even more surprising behaviors. Scientists observed that when trainers seemed upset, dolphins would often swim over to comfort them, using special sounds normally heard between dolphin mothers and babies. While this looks like empathy, some experts think dolphins might just be responding to visible signs of discomfort.
Cats, on the other hand, remain a mystery. Despite having similar brain structures to dogs, most cats seem indifferent to human emotions. Studies show they recognize their owner’s voice but usually choose not to respond-a fact many cat owners know too well!
So do animals truly understand us Current research suggests they’ re probably responding to signals they’ve learned to associate with rewards or safety, rather than experiencing human-like emotions. As scientists continue to study animal behavior, one thing is clear: the bond between humans and animals is complex and fascinating.
8. What did the Vienna study show about dogs
A. They understand human language.
B. They ignore negative human voices.
C. They feel happy when hearing praise.
D. They respond differently to human signals.
9. What does the underlined word “empathy” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Understanding others’ upset. B. Ignoring others’ disappointment.
C. Showing respect to dolphin mothers. D. Giving response to visible signs.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. Cats aren’t popular with humans.
B. Cats have high emotional quality.
C. Cats are less intelligent than dogs.
D. Cats show no interest in human emotions.
11. According to the passage, which statement would researchers most likely agree with
A. Animals’ responses are natural, not learned.
B. Animals can copy human emotions perfectly.
C. Animals probably have no human-like emotions.
D. Animal-human relationship is easy to cuderstand.
D
After Horizon: An American Saga was screened recently during the Cannes Film Festival, the audience clapped for seven minutes. And that’s not even the longest clapping in the festival’s history. That prize goes to Pan’s Labyrinth’s 22-minute clapping in 2006.
Humans probably started clapping early in our history, writes psychologist Alan Crawley in a 2023 review of research on the topic. Our ancestors may not have screened movies, but in the absence of spoken language, they may have realized they could use clapping to signal danger, or frighten enemies.
Clapping’s simplicity and effectiveness make it a universal practice. While babies rarely clap before their first birthday, children master it quickly, gaining its global popularity. Unlike complex gestures (e. g., finger-clicking) , clapping produces loud, effortless noise — Crawley calls it the “non-vocal signal with the highest sound volume.” Socially, it balances politeness and enthusiasm, avoiding the rudeness of screaming, which allows clapping to adapt to contexts ranging from polite theater audiences to lively sports crowds. It also can be an act that strengthens social ties. During some hard times, the practice of organized clapping was, on the surface, about showing appreciation for key workers.
Clapping often spreads like a “social disease,” as observed in studies by Richard Mann in 2013. In academic settings, clapping typically begins with a few individuals, resulting in a chain reaction. Anyone in a crowd will know that a mere handful of clappers can sometimes cause a room of people to follow their behavior.
But what about super-long clapping Why not just leave it at a minute or two Back in 2013, Mann told BBC News that the length of clapping did not connect with the quality of the performance. “You have this social pressure to start clapping, but once you’ve started there’s an equally strong social pressure not to stop, until someone starts that stopping.” Then the conclusion would be this: no one in the room wants to be seen — or in the social media age, filmed — as the first one to stop.
12. What does Alan Crawley suggest about the origin of human clapping
A. It was adopted to replace spoken language.
B. It developed from ancestors’ survival strategies.
C. It appeared as a form of entertainment during festivals.
D. It was first used to signal appreciation for performances.
13. Why is clapping a popular gesture across cultures compared to finger-clicking
A. Clapping is louder and simpler to do.
B. Clapping is taught to babies earlier in life.
C. Clapping is more polite and more socially accepted.
D. Clapping is used to show appreciation especially in hard times.
14. What did Richard Mann’s 2013 study find about clapping
A. People clap louder when they are in large audience.
B. Clapping spreads like a chain reaction in a group setting.
C. Clapping seems to have no connection with social pressure.
D. The quality of performances determines the length of clapping.
15. Where does the passage likely come from
A. A film review magazine.
B. An entertainment news website.
C. A scientific journal on human behaviour.
D. A history textbook on human development.

Your Name in Gold
Anne sat at the breakfast table, eating her cornflakes (玉米片). Anne’s older sister, Mary, sat across from her, reading the cornflakes box. “Hey, Anne,” she said, “look at this awesome prize — your name in gold.”
As Mary read on, Anne’s interest in the prize grew. “Just send in one dollar with proof-of-purchase seal from this box and spell out your first name on the information blank. We will send you a special pin (胸针) with your name spelled in gold. (Only one per family, please.)”
Anne grabbed the box, her eyes brightening with excitement. “That’s a neat idea,” she said. “A pin with my very own name spelled out in gold. I’m going to send in for it.”
“Sorry, Anne, I saw it first,” said Mary. Besides, “you don’t have a dollar to send in, and I do.”
“But I want a pin like that so badly,” said Anne. “Please let me have it!”
“Nope,” said her sister.
“You always get your way — just because you’re older than me,” said Anne, her lower lip trembling and her eyes filled with tears. She threw down her spoon and rushed out of the kitchen.
Several weeks passed. One day the mailman brought a small package addressed to Mary. Anne was dying to see the pin, but she wouldn’t let Mary know how eager she was. Mary took the package to her room. Anne casually followed her in and sat on the bed.
“Well, I guess they sent you your pin. I surely hope you like it,” Anne said in a mean voice. Mary slowly took the paper off the package. She opened a little white box and said, “Oh, it’s beautiful! Just like the cornflakes box said, your name in gold. Four beautiful letters. Would you like to see it, Anne ”
“No, I don’t care about your stupid pin.”
Mary put the white box on the dresser (梳妆台) and went downstairs
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

46. Dear Tom,
I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in Chinese Dragon Boat Festival. It’s a significant traditional festival, commemorating the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It’s held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
During the festival, people hold dragon boat races, which are exciting and full of energy. They also eat zongzi, a kind of rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves.
I feel that this festival not only shows our respect for history but also strengthens our cultural identity. I hope you can join us next time.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
47. Anne was alone in the bedroom. Her eyes couldn’t help but wander to the white box sitting on the dresser. Despite her earlier words, curiosity gnawed at her. She slowly approached the box, her heart pounding in her chest. With trembling fingers, she opened it and gasped. The pin was even more exquisite than she had imagined, with her name “Mary” spelled out in gleaming gold. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized how much she had wanted it and how unfair she had been to Mary.
A wave of shame washed over Anne. She thought about how she had acted so selfishly, throwing a tantrum just because she couldn’t have what she wanted. She remembered how Mary had always been kind to her, sharing her toys and comforting her when she was sad. Anne knew she had to make things right. She carefully closed the box and went downstairs to find Mary, determined to apologize and ask for her forgiveness.

German sinologist (汉学家) Martin Woesler recently made his first visit to the ancient Silk Road center of Dunhuang in northwest China’s Gansu Province, where he was amazed by the city’s unique cultural charm.
Starting from Hunan Normal University, where he currently teaches, Woesler traveled to attend the fourth Dialogue on Exchanges and Mutual Learning among Civilizations, an international conference held in Dunhuang from May 29 to 31. During his brief stay in Gansu, he joined scholars from all around the world in sharing ideas about cross-cultural dialogue.
When standing in front of the Mogao Grottoes for the first time, he was deeply impressed by an unexpected sense of cultural connection-one that bridged both time and geography. In Cave 285, the wall paintings feature an amazing mix of figures — Apollo and Diana from Greek mythology, Fuxi and Nuwa from Chinese legends, flying apsaras (飞天) from Indian Buddhism and feathered immortals (神) from Daoism. It is these mixed civilizations that form the cultural wonder showed in Dunhuang, noted Woesler.
Woesler’s connection with China began 38 years ago when he was attracted by a Chinese poem at a poetry reading in Germany. Having lived, worked, and studied in China for 30 years, he had already known Dunhuang as an oasis (绿洲) city surrounded by desert, a treasure house of art and heritage, and a cultural crossroads shaped by centuries of Silk Road exchanges.
For decades, Woesler has worked to bridge the gap between cultures. His career has frequently taken him between Germany and China, and he remains committed to helping the world better understand Chinese literature and culture. He believes that even today, people from different countries can still draw wisdom and strength from it. His journey to Dunhuang has now brought new reflections on cultural dialogue in the digital age.
4. Why did Woesler visit Dunhuang
A. To study ancient wall paintings. B. To attend an international conference.
C. To explore the Silk Road history. D. To teach at a Chinese university.
5. What deeply impressed Woesler about the Mogao Grottoes
A. The influence of Indian Buddhism.
B. The combination of different cultures.
C. The well-protected paintings on the wall.
D. The attractive oasis city surrounded by desert.
6. What does Woesler believe about cultural exchange
A. It succeeds on digital platforms.
B. It is limited to historical contexts.
C. It plays a key role in modern society.
D. It should attach importance to traditions.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. The History of Silk Road: From Ancient Trade to Modern Dialogue.
B. The Magic of Mogao Grottoes: A Treasure House of Art and Heritage.
C. A Challenge in Digital Age: Bridging the Gap between Different Cultures.
D. A Sinologist’s Journey: Rediscovering Dunhuang’s Cultural Combination.
C
Many pet owners believe their animals can sense their feelings, but what does science say Researchers have found evidence that some animals do respond to human emotions, though the reasons may be more practical than emotional.
Dogs are particularly good at reading human signals. A study from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna used brain scans to show that dogs react differently to happy and angry human voices. Their brains light up in reward centers when hearing praise, suggesting they associate positive tones with good outcomes. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean dogs “feel” for us—it may just be smart learning from years of living with humans.
Dolphins show even more surprising behaviors. Scientists observed that when trainers seemed upset, dolphins would often swim over to comfort them, using special sounds normally heard between dolphin mothers and babies. While this looks like empathy, some experts think dolphins might just be responding to visible signs of discomfort.
Cats, on the other hand, remain a mystery. Despite having similar brain structures to dogs, most cats seem indifferent to human emotions. Studies show they recognize their owner’s voice but usually choose not to respond-a fact many cat owners know too well!
So do animals truly understand us Current research suggests they’ re probably responding to signals they’ve learned to associate with rewards or safety, rather than experiencing human-like emotions. As scientists continue to study animal behavior, one thing is clear: the bond between humans and animals is complex and fascinating.
8. What did the Vienna study show about dogs
A. They understand human language.
B. They ignore negative human voices.
C. They feel happy when hearing praise.
D. They respond differently to human signals.
9. What does the underlined word “empathy” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Understanding others’ upset. B. Ignoring others’ disappointment.
C. Showing respect to dolphin mothers. D. Giving response to visible signs.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. Cats aren’t popular with humans.
B. Cats have high emotional quality.
C. Cats are less intelligent than dogs.
D. Cats show no interest in human emotions.
11. According to the passage, which statement would researchers most likely agree with
A. Animals’ responses are natural, not learned.
B. Animals can copy human emotions perfectly.
C. Animals probably have no human-like emotions.
D. Animal-human relationship is easy to cuderstand.
D
After Horizon: An American Saga was screened recently during the Cannes Film Festival, the audience clapped for seven minutes. And that’s not even the longest clapping in the festival’s history. That prize goes to Pan’s Labyrinth’s 22-minute clapping in 2006.
Humans probably started clapping early in our history, writes psychologist Alan Crawley in a 2023 review of research on the topic. Our ancestors may not have screened movies, but in the absence of spoken language, they may have realized they could use clapping to signal danger, or frighten enemies.
Clapping’s simplicity and effectiveness make it a universal practice. While babies rarely clap before their first birthday, children master it quickly, gaining its global popularity. Unlike complex gestures (e. g., finger-clicking) , clapping produces loud, effortless noise — Crawley calls it the “non-vocal signal with the highest sound volume.” Socially, it balances politeness and enthusiasm, avoiding the rudeness of screaming, which allows clapping to adapt to contexts ranging from polite theater audiences to lively sports crowds. It also can be an act that strengthens social ties. During some hard times, the practice of organized clapping was, on the surface, about showing appreciation for key workers.
Clapping often spreads like a “social disease,” as observed in studies by Richard Mann in 2013. In academic settings, clapping typically begins with a few individuals, resulting in a chain reaction. Anyone in a crowd will know that a mere handful of clappers can sometimes cause a room of people to follow their behavior.
But what about super-long clapping Why not just leave it at a minute or two Back in 2013, Mann told BBC News that the length of clapping did not connect with the quality of the performance. “You have this social pressure to start clapping, but once you’ve started there’s an equally strong social pressure not to stop, until someone starts that stopping.” Then the conclusion would be this: no one in the room wants to be seen — or in the social media age, filmed — as the first one to stop.
12. What does Alan Crawley suggest about the origin of human clapping
A. It was adopted to replace spoken language.
B. It developed from ancestors’ survival strategies.
C. It appeared as a form of entertainment during festivals.
D. It was first used to signal appreciation for performances.
13. Why is clapping a popular gesture across cultures compared to finger-clicking
A. Clapping is louder and simpler to do.
B. Clapping is taught to babies earlier in life.
C. Clapping is more polite and more socially accepted.
D. Clapping is used to show appreciation especially in hard times.
14. What did Richard Mann’s 2013 study find about clapping
A. People clap louder when they are in large audience.
B. Clapping spreads like a chain reaction in a group setting.
C. Clapping seems to have no connection with social pressure.
D. The quality of performances determines the length of clapping.
15. Where does the passage likely come from
A. A film review magazine.
B. An entertainment news website.
C. A scientific journal on human behaviour.
D. A history textbook on human development.

Your Name in Gold
Anne sat at the breakfast table, eating her cornflakes (玉米片). Anne’s older sister, Mary, sat across from her, reading the cornflakes box. “Hey, Anne,” she said, “look at this awesome prize — your name in gold.”
As Mary read on, Anne’s interest in the prize grew. “Just send in one dollar with proof-of-purchase seal from this box and spell out your first name on the information blank. We will send you a special pin (胸针) with your name spelled in gold. (Only one per family, please.)”
Anne grabbed the box, her eyes brightening with excitement. “That’s a neat idea,” she said. “A pin with my very own name spelled out in gold. I’m going to send in for it.”
“Sorry, Anne, I saw it first,” said Mary. Besides, “you don’t have a dollar to send in, and I do.”
“But I want a pin like that so badly,” said Anne. “Please let me have it!”
“Nope,” said her sister.
“You always get your way — just because you’re older than me,” said Anne, her lower lip trembling and her eyes filled with tears. She threw down her spoon and rushed out of the kitchen.
Several weeks passed. One day the mailman brought a small package addressed to Mary. Anne was dying to see the pin, but she wouldn’t let Mary know how eager she was. Mary took the package to her room. Anne casually followed her in and sat on the bed.
“Well, I guess they sent you your pin. I surely hope you like it,” Anne said in a mean voice. Mary slowly took the paper off the package. She opened a little white box and said, “Oh, it’s beautiful! Just like the cornflakes box said, your name in gold. Four beautiful letters. Would you like to see it, Anne ”
“No, I don’t care about your stupid pin.”
Mary put the white box on the dresser (梳妆台) and went downstairs

I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in Chinese Dragon Boat Festival. It’s a significant traditional festival, commemorating the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It’s held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
During the festival, people hold dragon boat races, which are exciting and full of energy. They also eat zongzi, a kind of rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves.
I feel that this festival not only shows our respect for history but also strengthens our cultural identity. I hope you can join us next time.
Best wishes,

47. Anne was alone in the bedroom. Her eyes couldn’t help but wander to the white box sitting on the dresser. Despite her earlier words, curiosity gnawed at her. She slowly approached the box, her heart pounding in her chest. With trembling fingers, she opened it and gasped. The pin was even more exquisite than she had imagined, with her name “Mary” spelled out in gleaming gold. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized how much she had wanted it and how unfair she had been to Mary.
A wave of shame washed over Anne. She thought about how she had acted so selfishly, throwing a tantrum just because she couldn’t have what she wanted. She remembered how Mary had always been kind to her, sharing her toys and comforting her when she was sad. Anne knew she had to make things right. She carefully closed the box and went downstairs to find Mary, determined to apologize and ask for her forgiveness.
