26、It is common to see most live streamers sitting in front of a desk in a well-decorated room. But Zeng Qinghuan, a 30-year old from Xinhua County in Loudi, Hunan, has turned her whole village into a live streaming set. Her goal is to use e-commerce to help her people live a better life.

Known as “Xiangmei Xinbao” on Douyin, Zeng now has more than 3 million followers. One of her videos about traditional ways of planting and harvesting rice has attracted more than 300,000 followers.

Zeng used to study fashion design and has worked in some big cities before. In 2019 she returned to her village to care for her sick grandmother. She then found that she could build a career there—by being a live streamer with the help of her cousin.

At the beginning, she didn’t make any money. Zeng’s parents didn’t give her any support until she could stand on her own feet and help people sell their products. She has now sold local agricultural products worth tens of millions of yuan, like fermented tofu, preserved pork and dried sweet potatoes.

“I’m a daughter of the great mountains. I can also be a contributor to rural development in these new times,” she said.

Rural revitalization (振兴) is a key part of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). Zeng hopes her experience can encourage more young people to return to their rural hometowns and start their own businesses. In 2021, after she became a deputy (代表) of the Loud Municipal People’s Congress, she put forward a proposal to ensure that “each village has one, product and one live streaming host of its own”. She plans to help cultivate 100 social media influencers from her county within three years, and two villages have taken part in the project, “I believe that the rural areas will become a big stage, and being a farmer will be seen as a respectable job too.” said Zeng.

【1】What do we know about Zeng’s live streaming career?

A．It was encouraged by her sick grandmother.

B．It brought her a fortune as soon as it was started.

C．It was a great success with the help of her parents.

D．It inspired more local villagers to follow.

【2】What is Zeng going to do from the last paragraph?

A．Invite more young people to her hometown.

B．Train more social media influencers in her county.

C．Expand her business to make more money.

D．Produce more agricultural products to help the farmers.

【3】Which of the following best describes Zeng?

A．Down-to-earth and ambitious.

B．Responsible and modest.

C．Gifted and faithful.

D．Caring and fashionable.

【4】What may be the best title of the passage?

A．A way of ordinary people’s better life

B．A travel path to the country areas

C．An approach of a village girl’s success

D．A road to Rural revitalization

27、Picking tomatoes

For as long as I can remember Grandma’s plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer’s end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden. She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma’s request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year.

Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.

There we are, lost in the tomato vines (藤). Grandma’s eyes are always knowing, and they are no different in the vegetable garden. From afar she spots what looks like a ripe tomato. As she walks toward the garden, she evaluates the tomato for a second time, but from a different angle. I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs final look to be sure. She calls me to her side, kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face, and grasps the tomato in her hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a halfhearted smile.

She then looks at me. I nod my head and smile. Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection. I know I smile, instead, at her.

【1】Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?

A．He can help pick more tomatoes.

B．He can learn the hardship of labor.

C．She enjoys staying with him while working.

D．She tries to share the happiness of harvest with him.

【2】The second paragraph shows that the author ________.

A．is an inefficient tomato picker

B．really has youthful eyes and quick mind

C．has spent a lot of time gardening with Grandma

D．is a naughty child trying to be out of Grandma’s sight

【3】In the last paragraph, the author smiles to Grandma because he ________.

A．realized her true intentions

B．felt very happy to pick potatoes for her

C．confirmed that her choice of tomato is great

D．appreciated her skill in finding ripe tomatoes

【4】What can we infer from the story?

A．The grandchild will become more skillful at gardening than Grandma.

B．Grandma will develop more patience in working with the grandchild.

C．The grandchild will gradually become more independent of Grandma.

D．Grandma’s need for the grandchild’s company will grow over time.

28、China is fondly remembering one of its most famous radio voices, a man whose vivid storytelling was a comfort to millions of people, from commuters stuck in traffic to restless teens struggling to sleep. Shan Tianfang, was a leading performer of the traditional Chinese art form pingshu, which translates as “storytelling”.

Pingshu dates from the Song Dynasty (AD960-1279) when performers would entertain villagers by telling stories in a particularly emotive style. It remains particularly popular in north-eastern China. Performers wear traditional dress and use very basic props — often a folded fan and a gavel. Pingshu is sometimes performed in tea houses and small theatres, but many Chinese associate the art form with radio. And in a country where sleeping problems are commonplace, pingshu is still popular as a way of helping people to wind down at bedtime.

Shan Tianfang was born in 1934 in Yingkou, in north-eastern Liaoning province. His family introduced him to folk arts from a young age and he began learning pingshu when he was 19. He became known in Liaoning for his work on stage and in local teahouses during the 1950s and 1960s, and performed in an art troupe around the region. From 1966-1976, Shan, along with other pingshu performers like Yuan Kuocheng, was forced to stop work. During the 1980s.Shan made the transition (转型) to state-run radio, and his captivating storytelling became comfort listening for people across the country. By the 1990s, Shan had become a well-known face on state TV, even performing in the annual Spring Festival Gala show. He has died aged 84 following a long illness.

Shan performed over 12,000 stories on TV and radio. His stories attracted people of all ages. One of his most acclaimed performances is of the Heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He gave countless performances of the “Four Classic Novels” (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin) and also helped to bring lesser-known classical Chinese literature to new audiences.

He was able to use the medium to entrance his audience and in the process he helped to popularise classical Chinese literature. As film director Zhang Jizhong told the Global Times newspaper: “He could describe a scene and a character extremely vividly. He once had a long talk with me about adapting the heroic stories he told into films or television shows to help promote Chinese classics and traditional culture.”

But in his later years, the growth of online and digital media exposed the challenges of keeping his art form alive. Shan turned his efforts towards writing books and opening performance schools to teach pingshu to young people. They included the Shan Tianfang Culture and Media Academy in Beijing, a Shan Tianfang teahouse and “storytelling base” in Anshan in Liaoning province. Meanwhile, modern productions of pingshu reference (引用，参照) contemporary (现代的) culture to draw in new performers and audiences. Performers like Guo Heming have emerged, putting a modern spin on pingshu by adapting popular works, including the Harry Potter stories.

Although he wasn’t particularly active on social media, he amassed more than one million fans on the Sina Weibo platform.

A memorial was held for him on 15 September but millions of Chinese will miss his voice.

A．Shan Tianfang has a sound voice

B．was particularly active on the Sina Weibo platform

D．adapted the Harry Potter stories

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

C．Shan has passed away, and so have his voice and his works

D．Shan made great contributions to spreading Chinese culture

29、Mariana Bechtel isn’t exactly someone who avoids stress. Throughout her, she has pursued high-pressure management jobs: “I’m hard core,” says the 44-yearold wife and mother of two. “I wanted to be on top at work, and I wanted to be a great mom” –one who could attend baseball games, drive and help with homework even after an hour-long commute （通勤）on workdays, more often than not, with a5 a.m. marathon-training run.

However, after months of losing sleep, dropping weight and feeling pushed to lose her mind, Mariana Bechtel decided she had to address her stress-and turn it to her advantage. The new job she recently switched to still has its share of pressure, but with more support from her boss and more flexibility in her schedule, she says she feels great.

Contrary to popular belief, stress doesn’t have to be a soul-sucking, health-damaging force. But few people know how to transform their stress into the positive kind that helps them reach their goals.

A recent research confirms that gaining control over job demands, doing work with meaning and purpose and enjoying support and encouragement from co-workers are all linked to beneficial stress. Simply changing attitudes and expectations about stress-through coaching, training or peer-support groups-can also develop the constructive kind of stress.

“Stress is paradoxical,” says Alia Crum, a research scholar. “On one hand, it can be the thing that hurts us most. On the other, it’s fundamental to psychological and physical growth. The attitude that we view and approach stress will shift the outcome.”

【1】What is Mariana Bechtel’s new job like?

A．It is health-damaging.

B．It is physically demanding.

C．It has little stress.

D．It has flexible worktime.

【2】What does the author want to show by telling the story of Mariana Bechtel?

A．Stress can be turned beneficial.

B．Too much stress is harmful to health.

C．It’s hard to balance work and family.

D．Every job has its own advantage.

【3】How can we make stress to our advantage according to the recent research?

A．By refusing the boss’s demands

B．By taking up a meaningful job.

C．By supporting co-workers.

D．By sticking to our attitude to stress.

【4】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 mean?

A．Stress has far-reaching effects.

B．Stress has several disadvantages.

C．Stress has two opposite features.

D．Stress is not necessary at all.

“Jawline,” Reviewed: A Chilling look at the making of a Teen Influencer

Liza Mandelup, the director of “Jawline” a new documentary about the teen- influencer, has said that she filmed for a year before she found her 【1】, Austyn Tester. He curls around his cats, who sometimes slink into the 【2】 as he broadcasts on YouNow, a platform for real-time, chat-based live streaming. “Broadcasting”is what YouNow calls it, and so does Austyn, his voice puffing up to meet the importance of the word--his vocation in life. He’s set up a rig in his small bedroom, where he records himself 【3】 to a small number of viewers, mostly teen-age girls he barely knows. On the Web site’s dash, we can see that he is 【4】 at No 28 under the hashtag guys. The conversations are plain, adorably ordinary. In an early scene in the film, he apologizes for a minor problem in his 【5】. “I know I need to get better Wi-Fi.”

Tester lives in Kingsport, Tennessee, with his mother and his brother. They don’t have money. Tester’s father is absent; when he was around, the family says, he was a(n) 【6】 and was physically abusive. Tester’s brother, Donovan, is 【7】 of his sibling’s dreams, which will make him known around the world. For what? For being famous. For being positive. Social-media 【8】 has been engineered such that the path to fame requires only the 【9】 of fame. “When you become famous, you have a lot of people who look up to you,” Tester says. On YouNow, he is a telegenic preacher, a philosopher of cliched words, delivering himself to his small flock of followers. Both parties are prey to a decentralized economy that has monetized teen-age anxiety, 【10】 and general fragility. In such a tempest, they are making each other feel seen. Remember: storms don’t last forever, Tester promises. “Whatever you’ re going through, it’s not going to last forever.”

32、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。

Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. When thinking of selling the little creature, Mrs. Grant felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher (屠夫). Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.

While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “You see I am here for the lamb,” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother’s side, and asked what was happening. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.

“That’s my lamb now, Charlie!” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy with a rope in his hand.

“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours!” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.

But the butcher’s boy, pushing Charlie aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away. The poor lamb bleated (羊叫) very sadly. The lamb’s cry of griefwas too much for the mother, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.

“Please tell your boy to stop a moment,” she said to the butcher.

The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.

In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread to eat.
