In recent years, with the increased popularity of Chinese culture, wuxia-related works have started to become popular with overseas audience.A great deal of wuxia-related books, movies and TV shows are being introduced to overseas audience. For example, the television series Word of Honor gained more than 100 million views on YouTube last year, with Southeast Asia among the areas with the highest number of viewers for the production.

When Singaporean Tong Weiqiang watched Hong Kong wuxia, or martial arts, dramas more than 10 years ago, he was interested in the stories. Tong said he became interested in traditional culture at a young age through classic novels such as Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West. Later, he read wuxia novels by writers such as Louis Cha, Gu Long and Liang Yu sheng, and has remained a fan of wuxia. “Most people in our cultural society first learned about han fu from these costume dramas,” he said. He even pioneered a local movement to promote hanfu and founded the Singapore Han Cultural Society in 2012 to attract more hanfu lovers.

As of last year, more than 10,000 online literary works had entered overseas markets, attracting over 100 mllion foreign readers, especially those in Southeast Asia. As far as the official ever reported, more than. 30 million Chinese live in Southeast Asia, That‘s a huge audience crowd. Lily Lee, leader of You Cloud, which operates App Growing, said, “Due to geographical and cultural factors(因素), Southeast Asian users tend to have a higher acceptance of wuxia, or other themes with strong Chinese characteristics.” In Thailand, many young people have become crazy about wuxia through games, rather than novels or dramas, according to Yazhou Zhoukan, a Chinese-language newsweekly in Hong Kong.

Otters (水獭) are cute water animals. These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular. In Japan, some “otter cafes (咖啡馆)” are open for business. People can pay to play with the otters there and to take photos with them. In Indonesia, people go swimming with their pet otters and take funny videos. These photos and videos posted online have interested more people to buy otters as pets.

However, these enjoyable photos and videos hide the damage (损害) that the online trade is doing to otters. In fact, wild otters are facing many threats—they have long been hunted (猎杀) for their coats; in some places, fishermen have been killing otters in order to stop them from eating fish; and now, the online pet trade has become another big problem for otters.

In the wild, baby otters usually stay with their mothers during their first year of life. According to a report, 70% of the otters sold online are under one year old. These baby otters have been stolen from their mothers. When they are kept as pets by humans, they do not live full and natural lives.

Otters are very social. They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild. Keeping an otter as a pet can make it very sad and lonely. These animals also need enough space to swim. Their owners’ bathtubs (浴缸) or pools are nowhere near as large as the bodies of water in the wild.

On the other hand, otters simply don’t make good pets. They have a very special fishy smell. If they are kept indoors, they will leave a lot of waste around the house. This would make the smell even more unpleasant. Besides, when otters are unhappy, they will make loud noises and even attack (攻击) people. If a person is hurt by an otter, he or she needs to go to hospital at once.

So, we should stop the otter pet trade and never share photos and videos about them online.

8．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?

A．The ways of buying otters online.

B．The advantages of playing with otters.

C．The popularity of keeping otters as pets.

9．What does the underlined word “threats” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．机遇 B．威胁 C．选择

10．Why don’t otters make good pets?

a. They may attack people.

b. They may make loud noises.

c. They have a special fishy smell.

d. They need to go to hospital often.

A．a, b, c B．a, b, d C．b, c, d

11．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the text?

A．To tell people the otters’ living habits.

B．To teach people how to keep a pet otter.

C．To call on people to stop the otter pet trade.

45．范例：

Life is like a teacher

Life is like a teacher. It can give me more than knowledge. Let me share a lesson I’ve learned in life with you.

That was a sunny day. My friend Jack and I went to the nearby park to fly a kite. We ran together when the wind started to blow. But to our surprise, the kite didn’t fly as high as we thought. It kept falling down to the ground again and again. I was upset and wanted to give up. Jack, on the other hand, thought for a while and discussed with me, then we tried again. This time, I ran as fast as I could in the front. Jack followed my lead in the back, sending the kite higher. Because of our efforts, the kite finally soared high in the sky! We were so happy and proud of ourselves.

This is the lesson I have learned from life—making mistakes is OK. What matters most is to think and act after mistakes. Only then can you learn and make progress.
