Alice, age 9: Mm, d I have t brush my hair tday?
Me: Um, yes, it wuld be great if yu culd brush yur hair everyday!
In Alice’s wrld, brushing her hair was an incnvenient annyance. I knew back then that this feeling wuld nt last frever. One day I wuld have t pry (撬开) her hairbrush ut f her hand and tear her away frm the mirrr. Five years later, my predictin has cme true.
At age 14, there is n such thing fr Alice as a spur-f-the-mment (一时兴起的) trip utside f the huse. She is, indeed, bsessed with her physical appearance. Hair has t be brushed, makeup applied, and clthes changed many times befre she can even think abut leaving the huse.
We have spken at length abut hw lks dn’t matter and that being a gd, kind and sympathetic persn in this wrld is way mre imprtant than appearance. Each time we have this cnversatin, Alice reminds me that she knws technically lks aren’t imprtant. But when she lks gd n the utside, she feels mre cnfident n the inside. In turn, that makes her a kinder, mre sympathetic and mre understanding persn.
S while I will never be happy t see my daughter try n many shirts nly t pick the first ne she tried, r spend an hur getting ready fr an event when the rest f the family were ready in 10 minutes, I knw this is smething she needs t d. Creating an identity fr herself as an individual utside f her family unit is a natural and necessary part f the teenage prcess.
And just as she learned ver the years that hair-brushing is prbably a gd idea, s will she hpefully learn that smetimes it’s kay t g ut in a less-than-perfect utfit r withut makeup. Smewhere deep dwn, her freewheeling 9-year-ld self still knws that.
24. What was the authr’s predictin abut Alice?
A. She wuld avid lking in the mirrr.
B. She wuld refuse t stay at hme all the time.
C. She wuld frget t brush her hair befre ging ut. D. She wuld be very cncerned abut her appearance.
25. Why des Alice spend time n her appearance?
A. T make herself feel better. B. T impress thers.
C. T display her unique persnality. D. T attract kind peple as friends.
26. What is the authr’s attitude tward Alice’sbehavir?
A. Wrried. B. Indifferent. C. Understanding. D. Disappinted.
27. What lessn des the authr hpe Alice will learn?
A. She cannt meet everyne’sneeds.
B. She shuld learn sme makeup skills.
C. She needs t learn a lt as she grws up.
D. She desn’t always have t g ut with a perfect image.

Blind peple have lng desired t see the surrunding wrld, but scientists dn’t have the technlgy. T bring that ne step clser t reality, Zhiyng Fan, a materials scientist f the Hng Kng University f Science and Technlgy, develped a new artificial eye recently. The device, which is abut as sensitive t light and has sharper visin and a faster reactin time than a real eyeball, may utperfrm human eyes.
The human eye wes its wide field f view and clear eyesight t the retina (视网膜) — an area at the back f the eyeball cvered in light-detecting cells. The design fr a new artificial eye is based n the structure f the human eye and uses a friendly light-sensitive material. At the back f the eyeball, an artificial retina is lined with Nan scale light sensrs (纳米级光感器). Thse sensrs measure light that passes thrugh the lens (晶状体) at the frnt f the eye. Wires attached t the back f the retina send signals frm thse sensrs t the prcessr, similar t the way nerve netwrks cnnect the eyeball t the brain.
“In the future, we can use this t replace damaged human eyes,” says the lead designer. In thery, this artificial eye culd see mre clearly than the human eye, because the artificial retina cntains abut 460 millin light sensrs per square centimeter while a real retina has abut 10 millin light-detecting cells per square centimeter. Besides, the artificial eyeball recrds changes in lighting faster than human eyes can — within abut 30 t 40 millisecnds, rather than 40 t 150 millisecnds. Althugh its 100- degree field f view isn’t as brad as the 150 degrees a human eye can take in, the device can see as well as the human eye in pr light.
Hngrui Jiang, an electrical engineer at the University f Wiscnsin, thugh, thinks engineers need a much mre practical and efficient way t prduce vast series f tiny wires n the back f the artificial eyeball t give it superhuman sight, which is super hard t achieve.
28. Why des Zhiyng Fan develp the artificial eye?
A. T replace peple’s real eyeballs. B. T gain a sharper visin.
C. T help nrmal eyes perfrm better. D. T help the blind regain their eyesight.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The structure f the human eye. B. The design f the artificial eye.
C. The advantages f the artificial eye. D. The material used fr the artificial eye.
30. What can we learn abut the artificial eye and the human eye?
A. They have the same structure. B. The artificial eye may see mre clearly.
C. The human eye sees better in weak light. D. The artificial eye takes in a brader view.
31. Which wrd best describes Hngrui Jiang’s attitude t the artificial eye?
A. Uncncerned. B. Favrable. C. Dubtful. D. Satisfied.
D
It’s been nearly tw decades since the traditinal clthing style Hanfu first started t reemerge in China. Since then it has gne frm a small cultural mvement celebrating an ancient fashin t a trend that is bming n scial media, having been adpted by China’s Generatin Z as a means f cnnecting with their past. Instead f fllwing ther cultures blindly, Generatin Z nw have different pinins abut what trend is by prmting lcal culture while having an bjective view f extic cultural prducts. The new tastes f Generatin Z—yung peple brn after 1995—are well represented n Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted mre than 100 millin views within 48 hurs with a clurful set f prgrammes ranging frm Peking Opera t classical Chinese cartns.
The same is als true f mvie industry. Last year, fr the first time, the tp 10 mst viewed films in China were all dmestic films, while the ticket sales fr imprted films have drpped t nly 16.28 percent.
“Generatin Z grew up with the rapid develpment f China and under gd ecnmic cnditins. With the develpment f the Chinese Internet industry, they have mre access t diverse internatinal infrmatin and culture, which brings them a much brader visin and makes them mre pen and cnfident in analyzing freign culture. Apart frm taking pride in China’s rapid develpment, this generatin als pursues individuality and values devtin t the cuntry,” Prfessr Zhang Yiwu said.
He als nted that the ppular rck and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generatin is mre f a challenge against real life and lcal culture. Sme peple wh were brn in the 1970s and 1980s did nt grw up in the Internet age — they experienced the transfrmatin f China ging frm pr t rich first-hand. This kind f lnging and admiratin f the West came frm a lack f cnfidence.
Hwever, Generatin Z nw have the cnfidence t lk at Western culture with equal status. This kind f cultural cnfidence will result in China being mre active and creative in its develpment n the internatinal stage in the future.
32. What des the underlined wrd “extic” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Traditinal. B. Fashinable. C. Freign. D. Elegant.
33. Why is Bilibili mentined in Paragraph 2?
A. T cnfirm the rise f new media. B. T prmte Chinese Internet industry.
C. T highlight the ppularity f dmestic art. D. T shw the ppularity f New Year’s Eve gala.
34. What d we knw abut Generatin Z frm the passage?
A. They are lnging fr cultural diversity. B. They have a strnger cultural identity.
C. They have made China develp rapidly. D. They are mre fnd f freign culture.

Histry f Bradway
Bradway, in many peple’s eyes, is apart f the wrld-famus rad in New Yrk. 36 It is a billin-dllar industry that includes theatrical shws in New Yrk and live theater entertainment thrughut the wrld.
New Yrk’s Theater District has nly 39 fficial Bradway huses. A playhuse must have 500 r mre seats t be cnsidered a Bradway theater. 37 Nt all Bradway theaters are lcated n Bradway. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, buildings n Wall Street and places such as the city hall may have served as smaller theaters, and ther lcatins in dwntwn New Yrk City als did.
Tday’s Bradway started when influential families cntributed mney t the develpment f larger theaters away frm the dwntwn area. Sme peple may have dubted these theaters wuld be successful, but they turned ut t be. 38 With the bm f the new theater district, dwntwn changed frever as peple happily traveled t the utskirts (市郊) f the city t see the best live entertainment.
When these theaters began, many actrs came frm Eurpean cuntries. In 1857 actr Edwin Bth helped transfrm the Bradway theatre by ppularizing a type f acting realism. Unlike actrs befre him, Bth did nt stand still n stage r simply deliver his lines. 39 Bth’s style had a dramatic effect n the theater, and many cnsidered him t be the greatest actr f his time.
40 Specifically, cmedies and dramas ften centred n then-current events such as wmen’s right t vte, the Labr Mvement, and war. Bradway develped again in 1866, and the Bradway musical was created. Frm then n actrs entertained their audiences by singing and dancing accmpanied by an rchestra.
Nw, Bradway is famus fr varius theater prductins and mving perfrmances.
A. Therefre, the shws have brught it fame thrughut the wrld.
B. Hwever, Bradway is much mre than a gegraphical lcatin.
C. Theaters, hlding 100 t 499 peple, are called Off-Bradway theaters.
D. Instead, he liked mving arund and shwing great emtin while acting. E. Plays fllwed a ppular style that encuraged typical characters and plts.
F. As this new style grew in ppularity, the cntent f the shws began t change.
G. The Madisn Square Theater, built by the Mallry family in 1863, was ne f them.

As a child, I didn’t knw abut the benefits f fresh fd. 41 , I cnsidered 42 fish and fruit, bttled sft drinks and preserved snacks t be the mst appetizing (开胃的).

As we sat arund the kitchen table fllwing ur Mid-Autumn Festival feast, the smell f the meal still remaining in the air, the atmsphere was ne f harmny and warmth. Dad, having finished his meal, rse frm his chair and std nearby.
My nephew, driven by the excitement f the evening, began playing with his new basketball arund the table, the music sund eching sftly in the czy kitchen. As he neared Dad, hwever, he hesitated, nticing the elderly man’s utstretched (伸出) hand trembling slightly as it reached fr the ball. He did nt speak, and the by lked at us in cnfusin.
After a brief pause, my nephew carefully passed the ball t Dad, unsure f what wuld cme next. I watched clsely, curius t see hw Dad wuld respnd. A playful twinkle danced in his eyes as he grasped the ball, his fingers finding familiar lines in its surface. Hlding the ball and reached frward, he bunced the ball n the flr, the sund a jyful rhythm that seemed t awaken smething within him.
Again and again, the simple act was repeated, each tss accmpanied by a widening grin n Dad’s weather-beaten face. With a smile, he turned twards us,a silent invitatin hanging in the air. And then, with a gentle tss, the game began.
Laughter filled the rm as the ball passed frm hand t hand, and the nce-quiet kitchen nw was alive with the sunds f family bnding. The ball cntinued t be passed thrugh pairs f utstretched hands. Cries f “Over here!” rang thrugh the warm kitchen. Dad’s active participatin in this game was unexpected tme, since he had dementia (痴呆). This disease had rbbed him f many memries and the recgnitin f peple, places and pints in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recgnized the ball and what he culd d with it.
I was transprted back t my childhd.
