With a love and fascination for traditional culture, many young Chinese have begun to use their
creativity to innovate (创新) using elements from China’s intangible cultural heritage.
Papercutting, the traditional Chinese art of paper design, has been adopted in many creative arts,
including food and clothing. On the Chinese lifestyle-focused social media platform Xiaohongshu, a
video of cookies featuring a paper-cut styled dragon pattern received over 2.6 million views and
130,000 likes. Liu Shan, a stay-at-home mother who loves Chinese papercutting, is the baker behind
the cookies. Liu started designing her dragon pattern last November and spent five days making the
cookies before the Spring Festival. She said she would complete all the 12 signs of the Chinese
zodiac (生肖) since they are so well-received.
Young craftswoman Chen Lingling created a cloak featuring Chinese paper-cut patterns. As an
intangible cultural heritage enthusiast, Chen has made a variety of different clothing and headwear,
with the aim of making cultural heritage part of young people’s daily lives. She chose auspicious
patterns like phoenix and golden fish to deliver her Spring Festival greetings. People believe these
patterns will bring good luck. Her video featuring the cloak has received around 750,000 views and
earned her fans from both China and abroad, encouraging her to continue her interest in intangible
cultural heritage.
According to the new report published by Xiaohongshu, users of the platform uploaded nearly
one million posts with the topic “recreation” between February 9, the Chinese New Year’s Eve, and
February 16. Analysts say these recreations demonstrate (表现) young people’s creativity and
enthusiasm for life, and the innovations that use elements of intangible cultural heritage reflect their
growing cultural confidence.
24. What can we learn about Liu Shan from the passage?
A. She got inspiration from her friends.
B. She began her innovating practices to achieve fame.

Robots can be programmed to move a car and even perform some operations. However, when it
comes to picking up something that they have not touched before, such as an egg, they often fail.
Now, engineers have invented an artificial fingertip (指尖) which breaks that limitation. It enables
machines to sense objects as a human fingertip does.
Engineers have been working hard to make robots flexible and sensitive. When researchers from
a university began designing an artificial fingertip in 2009, they used human skin as a guide. Their
first fingertip was about the size of a coke can. By 2018, 3D printing made it about the size of an
adult's big toe, with the multi-layered structure like human skin.
The latest breakthrough is called TacTip. Scientists include artificial nerve networks into the
fingertip, which enables a robot to quickly process what it's sensing and act accordingly like a real
finger.
“A lot of our sense of touch is decided by our skin,” says professor Benjamin, leader of the
research team. In our fingertips, nerve endings will deform when the skin touches an object and then
sends the signals to the brain about what's happening. Similarly, the nerve networks of TacTip pick
up and translate those signals into the fingertip's actions, telling robots to handle objects of all shapes
and sizes without programming, according to Benjamin.
Some scientists doubt whether TacTip is only just skin-like. The signals from the artificial and
human fingertips are not quite the same, as the signals in real skin are more intense. Other scientists
think highly of this breakthrough. “At least it helps clarify how human touch works and is a
necessary step to improve robotic touch,”says professor Smith, a material scientist.
28. Why does the writer mention“an egg”in Paragraph 1?
A. To find a solution for engineers.
B. To show robots have limitations.
C. To tell how robots sense objects.
D. To explain why robots often fail.
29. Which of the following plays the most important role in the latest breakthrough?
A. 3D printing. B. Human skin.
C. Artificial nerve networks. D. Multi-layered structure.
30. What does the underlined word“deform” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Develop. B. Decrease.
C. Stop working. D. Change shapes.31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. TacTip Changes How Touch Works in Humans
B. Robots Have Become More Flexible and Sensitive
C. Artificial Fingertip Gives Robots Human-like Touch
D. Engineers Have Achieved a Breakthrough in 3D Printing
D
New evidence suggests that studying Chinese and learning to write Chinese characters may train
cognitive (认 知 的 ) abilities, which are not developed by learning other languages and writing
systems.
A study conducted by researchers from the UK’s Wellcome Trust found that people who speak
Chinese use both temporal lobes (颞 叶 ) of their brain to understand the language. This is very
different from English-language speakers who use only the left temporal lobe. Speakers of Chinese
use intonation (语调) to tell between completely different meanings of particular words, which needs
stronger cognitive abilities.
Besides, the practice of handwriting, especially of Chinese characters, will aid the development
of motor skills, learning shapes and letters and will keep the mind sharp. Through the use of
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, researchers found that neural (神 经 的 ) activity in children who
practiced printing letters by hand was more strengthened than those who just looked at them.
Compared with English, mostly written in line and from left to right, Chinese characters have more
complex in structure (复杂的结构). Their writing involves strokes (笔画) in all four directions: up,
down, left, and right. The movement of the fingers and hand helps improve neural activity in the
working, thinking, and memory of the brain of the learners.
Evidence also suggests that there is a connection between the learning of Chinese and math
skills. Researchers from New Zealand noticed that Asian children educated in their own languages
appear to have gained a greater understanding of math ideas than English-speaking children. During
the natural learning process of Chinese, the student is learning basic math ideas. Math skills are
included in character writing because it includes skills such as counting, grouping, ordering, and
identifying similarities and differences.
While the research on the relationship between the learning of Chinese and cognition is not yet
fully clear, there is good evidence to suggest that learning Chinese tones and characters represents an
added challenge to language learning.
32. What is the text centred on?
A. Why Asian children are better at math test.B. Why Chinese is a difficult language to learn.
C. How learning Chinese benefits our cognition.
D. How Chinese writing differs from English writing.
33. What does the study by UK’s Wellcome Trust show?
A. English speakers should learn Chinese.
B. Chinese has more intonations than English.
C. Using Chinese needs a higher-level brain activity.
D. Mastering different meanings of Chinese is difficult.
34. Why is learning Chinese beneficial to solving math problems?
A. Chinese writing looks like math symbols.
B. They share several key cognitive abilities.
C. Chinese children naturally do well in math.
D. They need quite different cognitive abilities.
35. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By comparing former research.
B. By offering supporting findings.
C. By discussing problems and solutions.
D. By listing advantages and disadvantages.

Lifelong Learning is Good for You
It is impossible for everyone to have access to additional formal education. Fortunately, many
educational resources have made it easier for people to develop a habit of lifelong learning. 36
The following points are reasons why you should stick to lifelong learning.
37 In 2015 some researchers found people with a bachelor’s degree can earn much
more than those just with a high school degree. In 2014 a report said that 50% of jobs would become
unnecessary by 2025 due to technological development. New technology changes the nature of work
and we need continuous learning and personal growth to adapt ourselves to the changes.
Open-mindedness and curiosity are beneficial to your career. People who enjoy learning are
more active at work than those who don’t. Now think of the most admirable colleagues you know.
Do they tend to be knowledgeable about almost any topic of interest? Do they make insightful
speeches on the topics they know best? 38 Those you admire most are those who seem most
devoted to learning and personal growth.
Our ability to learn is a keystone of human motivation. Have you ever sat in a quiet place and
finished a great novel? Do you remember the feeling of accomplishment when you solve achallenging task? Have you managed to conduct difficult experiments or create something new?
Education may not always have influence on wealth, health or career. 39
There are many reasons why we should continue learning. Lifelong learning isn’t just an
economic necessity but a physical, emotional, and social one. 40 Once you catch them, you
will get one of the most rewarding things in your life.
A. Educational level influences your work performance.
B. For example, books, online courses, MOOCs and so on are available.
C. Catch the chance of lifelong learning, and you’ll be successful.
D. We live in an age full of opportunities for learning.
E. Educational input determines your competitiveness.
F. But it would obviously contribute to the special qualities and uniqueness of each one.
G. Do they seem open-minded and intellectually energetic?

My friend Avery and I tried out for Alice in Wonderland several weeks ago. Avery really hoped
she could get picked to be Alice. I said, “You’d make a great Alice! I don’t care what part I get as
long as I’m in it.” Then she asked, “So you’d be happy to have a small part like the Dormouse?” I
replied, “Exactly!”
A few days later, Avery and I raced over to the theatre office, where the director had posted thecast list.
“Wow!” said Avery. “You got the part of Alice and I got the part of the March Hare.”
“That can’t be right,” I said. “There must be some mistake!”
But I was really given the part of Alice. The reason why I’d done well during the audition (试镜)
was that I was not nervous at all, because I had never thought I could get the major role.
I asked her if she wanted to practise our lines after school. Avery responded, “You mean practise
your lines? No, thanks. I’m busy this week.” “OK. How about someday next week?” I asked. “Sorry,”
she whispered, “I’m sure I’m busy forever.”
That night at dinner, after my parents congratulated me on getting the lead role, they asked how I
felt about it.
“Well, I’m confused,” I said. “Avery was so upset that I was picked to be Alice. She threw
away our friendship.”
“Arizona, don’t you think this might be an opportunity for you to be an extra-good friend?”
said my dad.“Sometimes when our friends do well, we feel envious (嫉妒的) and don’t know how
to act. Try giving her a little time and understanding. I guess she’ll come around before long.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next week, I did my best to give Avery some space.
