The tpic “EDG wins” had been viewed mre than 2.63 billin times as f press n Sina Weib, ranking the tp trending tpic fr a lng time.
With the ppularity f digital technlgy, new frms f cultural exchanges have been appearing, f which e-sprts are the mst ppular. Unlike texts and vides, e-sprts g beynd the barriers f language and are understandable arund the wrld. E-sprts mstly appeal t thse in their early 20s, as shwn by the carnival (狂欢) f cllege students. That in turn makes them a gd bridge f cmmunicatin between yung Chinese peple and their cunterparts(对应的人) arund the wrld.
Mre imprtantly, the e-sprts industry is sustainable in spreading Chinese culture,as the large audiences mean huge cmmercial ptential. In 2020 alne, the sales revenue f the dmestic e-sprts industry exceeded 278.69 billin yuan, and invlved 280,000 enterprises which in turn created ver 10 millin jbs. Accrding t a media reprt, nearly 95 percent f graduates frm e-sprts majrs at the Cmmunicatin University f China in Nanjing, succeeded in finding a jb after graduatin this year, with 62 percent f them devted t the e-sprts industry, including vide game clubs, game design cmpanies and game cmpetitin peratin cmpanies.

Traditinal Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining glbal ppularity.Accrding t a gvernment white paper,TCM has been intrduced in 183 cuntries and regins arund the wrld.
Westerners’ understanding f TCM,hwever,may be limited t acupuncture,cupping (拔罐) and massage (按摩).Fr instance,the purple,injury-like marks left n US swimmer Michael Phelps’ back frm cupping fr the purpse f relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center f attentin during the Ri Olympics in 2016.
As a matter f fact, Chinese herbs play a mre imprtant rle in getting rid f diseases and keeping the bdy in gd cnditin in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment.It is therefre disheartening t knw that while 103 Wrld Health Organizatin member cuntries have given apprval t the practice f acupuncture,nt many recgnize Chinese herbal medicine.TCM falls far behind Western medicine wing partly t the slw develpment f Chinese herbs.
Herbs are made int pills,pwder and sup,and the kind f herbs used their quality and quantity,and the prcessing f the ingredients jintly determine the effectiveness f the prescriptin.Cmpared with Western medicine,which has standardized drug prductin prcesses and treatment methds,TCM lacks standardizatin,with the chemical cmpsitin and functins f its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable.Frtunately,standardizatin has imprved in recent decades,with an increasing number f factries prducing patented TCM drugs.
Anther factr that has prevented the develpment f TCM prescriptin drugs is the lack f creativity.While Western medicine-making cmpanies cme up with new prducts every year,TCM drug prducers tend t make medicines accrding t prescriptins handed dwn frm the past.Chinese chemist Tu Yuyu’s winning the 2015 Nbel Prize fr Physilgy r Medicine fr her research int malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity t sme extent in China’s TCM industry.Hwever,the current state f affairs cannt be changed within a shrt time.
28.The authr mentins the example f Michael Phelps in rder t shw .
A.he was injured in his swimming
B.westerners attach great imprtance t TCM
C.westerners knw a little abut TCM
D.cupping is a kind f imprtant TCM treatment
29.Why dn’t sme member cuntries f WHO recgnize Chinese herbal medicine?
A.Because Chinese herbs can get rid f diseases.
B.Because medicine made ut f Chinese herbs develps slwly.
C.Because Western medicine is mre effective.
D.Because they nly apprve the practice f acupuncture.
30.Cmpared with Western medicine,what is the main weak pint f TCM?
A.Its unstable functins.
B.The effectiveness f prescriptin.
C.The methds f prcessing herbs
in standardizatin.
31.The lack f creativity in TCM refers t the fact that .
A.prescriptins are gt frm the past
B.medicine-making cmpanies lack creativity
C.Western cmpanies are mre experienced
D.medicine-making cmpanies lack driving frce

Smetimes, what my seven-year-ld tabby cat Ophelia wants is bvius. Crying in frnt f her empty fd bwl at dinner time clearly indicates she’s at risk f starvatin. Other times, thugh, her mews are a cmplete and ttal mystery.
That’s where Sergei Dreizin and Mark Byes, cmputer scientists at Akveln, a sftware engineering cmpany based in Bellevue, Washingtn, say they can help. They are the brains behind the MewTalk app, which aims t “give cat wners the best tls available” fr interpreting their pet’s needs.
When Byes and Dreizin were lking fr data t infrm their new app, they came acrss 2019 research that revealed cat mews cntain certain shared characteristics. The study authrs then built a cmputer prgram t analyze audi recrdings f 21 adult cats mewing.
The MewTalk funders used these audi recrdings f tens f thusands f mews t develp their cmputer mdels, which is fueled by artificial intelligence. And it wrked. 2021 study fund MewTalk can classify nine feline (猫科的) phrases with 90 percent accuracy.
The free app recrds yur feline’s mews and translates them int a small range f phrases, such as “I’m annyed.” and “Feed me!” Users can rate the accuracy f MewTalk’s translatins, which further imprves the cmputer mdel. Launched in Nvember 2020, the app has been dwnladed ver 20 millin times, and Dreizin estimates that the prgram has analyzed ver a billin mews t date. “We’re the largest depsitrs f mews in this galaxy,” he quips.
The app is part f an expanding suite f technlgies designed t help us cmmunicate with ur furry friends. Anther is FluentPet, which trains yur pet t press buttns t cmmunicate a need; fr instance, a cat can learn t press a buttn that says the wrd “play”.
Cat behavirist and cmmunicatin expert Charltte de Muzn isn’t cnvinced f these prducts’ accuracy, but strengthening yur relatinship with yur cat is always a wise gal. “If peple play with the app, maybe they will becme mre attentive t their cats,” says de Muzn, f Paris Nanterre University.
32. Hw can cmputer scientists at Akveln help cat wners?
A. By making cats’ needs fulfilled.
B.By slving the mysteries f cats’ mews.
C. By filling the empty fd bwls.
D. By getting cats rid f starvatin.
33. What can be inferred frm paragraph 5?
A. Users think the app very helpful.
B. Users can help t prmte the app.
C. Dreizin thinks the app is the mst accurate.
D. The prgram has analyzed billins f mews.
34. What’s Charltte’s attitude t this kind f apps?
A. PsitiveB. Cnservative.C. Dubtful.D. Negative.
35. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T cmment n tw apps. B. T cmpare tw similar apps.
C. T recmmend an app t cats’ wners. D. T intrduce the new technlgy.

W: Well, my name is Cindy and recently, ⑰I`ve finished a tur which is nt the type f thing I`d usually g fr. But because we wn it, we didn`t have t pay anything. We didn`t get ff t a gd start, thugh, because the bus frm the airprt t the htel was awful. It tk ages. The trip was all-inclusive, s all drinks and meals were included in the price. The drinks were fantastic! ⑱The htel fd was either tasteless r t ht, but the waiters were all friendly and knwledgeable at least. Jhn decided he wanted t take a trip t a museum, s I went alng. ⑲Actually, I didn`t really like it. It was pretty disappinting. I surely preferred being near the cean. The beach was amazing and I went there several times. In the secnd week, Jhn went ff n his wn int the muntains, ⑳but I stayed in the htel. I nce tried ging n an elephant ride, but it was terrible. Elephants frightened me, s I gave up. The tw weeks went by s quickly. We gt back last night and, all in all, I think it was a great trip, really relaxing. I`m s glad we entered the cmpetitin.
