The Monkey King, like many iconic fictional heroes—Harry Potter, Batman, Little Orphan Annie—had an unhappy childhood. Sprung from a rock on a mythical mountain, he overcame early hardship to improve his fighting skills, learning to somersault clouds and to turn each hair on his body into a version of his warrior self. With his mix of naughtiness and might, he has a lot in common with the Hollywood's many superheroes. But the Monkey King is different: he is more than 400 years old and comes from China.
Released on Netflix on August 18th, a new animated version of "The Monkey King" is full of bust-ups（争吵）and slapstick（滑稽）, as Monkey faces 100 demons and tries to achieve long-lasting life. The film is the latest in a long line of adaptations of "Journey to the West", the most famous novel in Chinese literature, published in 1592. But the ancient. story has since conquered the world. It is a rare example of successful Chinese soft power, enduring the many ups and downs in relations between China and America.
In the past century the book has been adapted into more than 60 films, countless TV shows, children's books, video games, a theme park and Lego toys. In May an award-winning graphic novel, "American Born Chinese" by Gene Luen Yang, which integrates the myth into a tale of teen anxiety at an American high school, was turned into a TV series by Disney. Japan has been behind several successful adaptations, including "Dragon Ball”, a cartoon version of the story that has sold millions of copies, and "Monkey", a badly dubbed（配音）television show that became popular in Britain and Australia in the 1980s.
Each Monkey King retelling has served as a mirror on its times, reflecting the anxieties of its creators. Some interpretations have concentrated on the need for discipline to silence the inner voice. Others stress the theme of a lowly being rising to great heights.
As in all good storytelling, from Shakespeare to Star Wars, the ultimate fight in this story is for the hero's soul. Monkey King's physical journey is overlaid with a mental one—the rebellious（叛逆的）hero finally finds peace.
24. The Monkey King was similar to other heroes in novels and films EXCEPT that_________.
A. they were unhappy as kids B. they had strong fighting skills
C. they were naughty in nature D. they demonstrated great power
25. What can we learn from the passage
A. The latest adaptation of "Journey to the West was a video game.
B. The TV series, "American Born Chinese", won an award in May.
C. The Japanese cartoon adaptation, "Dragon Ball", was a best-seller.
D. The popular TV show, "Monkey", was set in Britain and Australia.
26. Why do some creators adapt the story of the Monkey King
A. To retell the ancient story.
B. To express their worries of the society.
C. To praise the strict discipline.
D. To show the necessity of being an important figure.
27. What is good storytelling like according to the author
A. The hero fights for his soul. B. It reflects the author's times.
C. The hero finds peace at last. D. It is about the hero's journey.
C
In 2022, the actor Ralph Fiennes took a helicopter ride over New York, looking down like a god on the avenues, expressways, and bridges that shape the city's daily life. He studied the view with care, not as a tourist might, but as preparation to play the man who created much of it all: Robert Moses, once the most powerful urban planner in the world.
"I just wanted to get a sense of the reach of his vision," says Fiennes from Umbria, Italy, where he's renting a farmhouse with no Wi-Fi, so he's at a local cafe, wearing a loose white shirt open at the neck in the heat. "From all the conversations I have had with New Yorkers, they consider his legacy to be extremely negative. But you can't go to New York and not benefit from the West Side Highway or Riverside Park. You still use the tunnels and bridges that he built. Of course, the Cross Bronx Expressway is horrible—it's a controversial legacy. And that is very much addressed in the play.”
The play Straight Line Crazy revolves around two key moments in Moses's life. The first is in 1926, when we see him driving through his plan to open up Long Island and create Jones Beach State Park, changing the coastline from a playground for renowned families such as the Vanderbilts and the Whitneys into a recreational facility for everyone. By 1955 that idealism had soured and Moses's plan to route a highway through Washington Square was thwarted by a mass protest of local residents, determined to protect their community.
When Hare's play, directed by Nicholas Hytner, opened in London in March 2022, it was a revelation: huge ideas dealt with in witty（机智幽默的）and vivid ways. And it was an education too, introducing a largely ignorant English theatergoing public to the whole idea of Moses. "But in New York,” says Hare, "everyone already has a view about him.”
28. Why did Ralph Fiennes take a helicopter ride over New York
A. He sought inspiration for acting Robert Moses.
B. He tried to learn how to become an urban planner.
C. He admired the view of the city from above as a tourist.
D. He inspected the construction of expressways and bridges.
29. What does the underlined word "thwarted" mean in Paragraph 3
A. adopted. B. frustrated.
C. developed. D. revised.
30. What can be inferred from the text
A. New Yorkers can't get benefits from Moses's design.
B. Moses's plan in 1926 was met with protests of the locals.
C. Hare, the director of this play, thought highly of Robert Moses.
D. All the New Yorkers don't think the Cross Bronx Expressway is valuable.
31. In which section of the newspaper might the text appear
A. Environment. B. Sports.
C. Entertainment. D. Business.
D
When hunters wiped out most fruit eating birds in the tropical forest of Lambir Hills National Park by the 1990s, the skies grew duller-and in a few years so did the forest. Without birds to spread their seeds, the diversity of fruit-producing plants declined, illuminating the critical importance of seed dispersal（分散传播）for ecosystem health. The movement of seeds across the landscape in animals` guts（肠道）is a "glue that keeps ecological communities together," says Jordi Bascompte, an ecologist at the University of Zurich.
However, a team states that at least one-third of European plant species could be in trouble because more than one-third of seed-dispersing animal species are ranked as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature（IUCN）or are decreasing in numbers, which could harm the ability of plants to expand their range to cope with climate change or recover after wildfire. For example, the garden warbler, a common migratory bird that spreads the seeds of 60 plant species, is declining across Europe.
Although the study does not detail how the crisis is affecting ecosystems in that IUCN assessments haven't yet been conducted for 67% of the plant species, researchers did find that more than 60% of the plants had five or fewer animals that eat and distribute their seeds, which could make them particularly sensitive to the decline or disappearance of any of these critical seed dispersers.
And some plants do seem to be in big trouble. The authors came up with a list of nearly 80 "very high concern" interactions, in which both the plant and the animal are threatened or declining. "We need to make sure we're looking after the dispersers that are doing a lot of the work," Andy says, "Despite the massive data set, much remains unknown about the extent of the problem. It's a mystery which animals move the seeds of some rare plants, for instance—in spite of centuries of natural history observations in Europe." Even for common, well-studied species, it's not always apparent which dispersers are most important and whether other species might take over if they were to decline or disappear. There are some similar cases on other continents, too, including North America. But the picture there is even less clear.
32. What can be inferred from Jordi Bascompte's words
A. All seeds rely on animals' guts to get dispersed.
B. The spread of seeds plays a vital role in ecosystem health.
C. Animals carry the seeds to keep ecological communities together.
D. The movement of animals is more important than that of seeds for ecological balance.
33. Which of the following techniques is NOT used to make the article more persuasive
A. making comparisons B. listing numbers
C. giving examples D. citing views
34. Which opinion will Andy agree with
A. What matters most is to find out all the dispersers.
B. European scientists have done a great job for centuries.
C. It is still unknown which dispersers certain plants are missing.
D. Dispersers need a large amount of work to be looked after well.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Some plants are facing the danger of dying out.
B. Seed disperser declines threaten Europe's plants.
C. Dispersing animal species are ranked as threatened.
D. Ecosystem health relies on seed dispersers in many aspects.

Has Advertising Made Us Wasteful
Advertising involves employing persuasive techniques to get consumers to buy products, services and ideas. Very often, we are persuaded to buy a product or service because of what we see on the television, hear on the radio, or read on social media. This raises an important question: Has advertising made us wasteful As mass-produced" goods surge in the market, companies employ advertising to attract consumers to see a necessity to buy the products they sell, thereby persuading people to buy things that they do not really need. 36
Advertising has encouraged the shift from needs-based to wants-based production, leading to wasteful consumerism. 37 For one, tech companies are constantly producing new products and their advertisements highlight the positive features of the latest models, persuading consumers to ditch（丢弃）their old devices and purchase new ones. For another, advertising constantly promotes new trends and styles, encouraging people to get rid of their out-of-fashion items for trendier ones. In short, advertising fosters a false need for people to always follow trends, leading to waste.
38 To persuade buyers to repeat their purchase, companies employ strategies such as limited-time discounts, promotions and coupons. Buyers who do not want to miss out on a good deal, would buy again even if they have no need for the product. 39 When customers make more purchases, they earn loyalty points, which encourages them to keep shopping. Since loyalty points expire（过期）, customers might end up buying more items they don't actually need just to use up their points. In this way, advertising convinces consumers to purchase things they don't need, leading to more waste.
Advertising undeniably influences buyers, fueling unnecessary consumption, which was problematic in some aspects. 40
A. In this way, it becomes clear that advertising has indeed made us wasteful.
B. Advertising also encourages an addictive behaviour that results in repetitive buying.
C. Advertising techniques often trick consumers into buying unnecessary items for greater discounts.
D. The rise of digital platforms enables companies to target ads to individual preferences more effectively.
E. Some advertising campaigns focus on promoting social causes, like health awareness, rather than selling products.
F. A loyalty program is another effective type of advertising that encourages people to buy things repeatedly.
G. To tackle this, buyers should be aware of these techniques above, limit excessive spending, and take control of their choices.

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。
I'd just returned from a beautiful fall early-morning walk with my dog. At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys. When I discovered I didn't have them, I decided to return to the paths we'd taken.
I spent an hour looking, brushing aside tall grasses, but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace our steps, but it was all in vain.
At home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the couch in exhaustion. I began to take key inventory（盘点）. The house key wasn't that important as I had an extra. The mail key was a big deal because getting a new one takes a lot of time. I had a spare car key, but it was unstable, and the key fob（钥匙）would be expensive to replace. But the iron heart made by my grandson was precious beyond measure. Just thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes.
For some reason I will never understand, I didn't begin the various tasks involved in getting replacements. Instead, I continued with the day.
That night, it turned colder and we had a snow flurry. I enjoyed a comfort-food dinner, played soft music, and settled into a peaceful evening.
It was peaceful until I heard the horrific screech（尖叫）of my car alarm blasting from the garage. I rushed to the car, inserted the unstable key in the door and finally opened it, and then wiggled it in the ignition（点火装置）until the alarm stopped. I felt red-faced as I imagined my next-door neighbors being startled and annoyed.
I went back in the house but it started again. I turned it off, went back inside, and the alarm blasted again. I repeated the process.
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。
Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. I took the keys in my grateful hands, amazed by such a clever neighbor.

Dear Frank,
I hope this email finds you well. I had a remarkable experience with a self-driving taxi last weekend and can’t wait to share it with you.
Stepping into the taxi seemed like entering a future world. It started smoothly and automatically following the planned route, thus bringing me a sense of calmness. Along the way, the accurate identification of traffic signals, as well as the timely adjustment of speed and direction, demonstrated reliability and really amazed me. Based on this wonderful ride, I believe self-driving taxis hold immense potential. As technology continues to advance, not only will an increasing number of people be attracted to enjoy the great convenience, but they will definitely be more and more efficient, optimizing route planning and alleviating traffic congestion.
I can’t wait to see how this technology will shape our lives in the years to come. Hope you’re also having exciting adventures! Write back soon!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. Assuming it was a neighbor ready to fuss at me, I opened the door slowly and turned on the light with apologies ready. In the light snow stood a neighbor from several streets away, who held out her gloved hand, with my keys hanging from her pointer finger and a giant smile on her face! “Oh, my goodness! My keys!” I exclaimed, unable to believe my eyes as I stood there in utter amazement. “Sorry about all the noise, but your key fob has the alarm button, and we kept pressing it until we found your home!” she said, handing them over with a wink.
I took the keys in my grateful hands, amazed by such a clever neighbor. “Thank you soooo much,” I stammered, my voice thick with emotion. “You’ve saved me a huge hassle. Please, come inside and have a cup of hot cocoa.” “No thank you,” she said softly. “I’m just glad I could help.” And with that, she turned and disappeared into the swirling snowflakes, leaving me standing there, clutching my keys and realizing how a simple act of kindness had transformed a frustrating and chilly day into a heartwarming one.

Today, I’m going to share my experience of how I shaped my body and built my career. Body building was just a hobby of mine in the beginning. I started caring about my body when I was sixteen. What caught my attention was that my physical state was not very well. （17）In my hometown, gyms are only open to people above the age of eighteen. So I had to wait for months before signing up for the class there then. （18）In the meantime, I learned to exercise at home. When I joined the gym, I could work out with the equipment and ask for advice from some trainers. Little by little, I became very strong. When I was twenty, there was a man who came to me one day, and asked me if I wanted to take part in a photo shoot for a famous fashion magazine. I said no because I didn’t want to become a model, for I was still at college. My dream at that time was to become a bridge architect. （19）Then a year later I won a body building competition, which made quite a few magazines approach me. This is how I decided to turn my hobby into my profession. （20）
