一、阅读理解
Choose the best answer.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and World Anti-Fascist War. Many works about this history are being shown, like films, plays and dances. Among them, the movie “The Nanjing Photo Studio” (English name: “Dead to Rights”) has caught a lot of attention.
Directed by Shen Ao, the film is based on real photos that show the terrible things Japanese soldiers did during the Nanjing Massacre (大屠杀). The story happens when Japanese soldiers took control of Nanjing. To stay alive, a group of Chinese people hid inside a photo studio.
To survive, they had to help a Japanese army photographer develop his pictures. But while doing this, they discovered something shocking. The photo films contained clear proof of the awful crimes Japanese soldiers committed (犯罪) all over the city. The group decided they must let the world know the truth. So they secretly kept the films and risked their lives to get them out safely.
The story in the movie was connected to a real person. In 1938, a 15-year-old boy named Luo Jin worked in Huadong Photo Studio in Nanjing. Brave and clever, he secretly made over 30 copies of photos showing Japanese crimes. He put 16 photos into a book and drew a red heart with blood and the Chinese word “Chi” (which means “shame”) on the cover. Later, a young man named Wu Xuan kept the book safe. After eight years, the photos became strong proof of the crimes and were shown to the world.
Director Shen Ao said the reason why he made the film is that few people know how these important photos were saved. Dead to Rights is not only a movie, but also helps us remember painful history so that we work harder to make our country stronger.
Since its release, “Dead to Rights” has received high praise. Many viewers are deeply moved by the movie. They say it makes them better understand the pain of that time and respect those brave people more. The film not only shows a piece of history but also reminds us of the importance of never forgetting national sufferings and the value of peace. It is a meaningful work of art that helps pass on Chinese culture and spirit. The evidence they saved reminds us to remember history and cherish peace.

What’s My Line (台词)
“One of my actors is sick! He has just one line and you’re the only one who fits his clothes!” One afternoon, the school drama director suddenly shouted to me. She seemed so nervous and worried that I felt sorry for her and said, “OK”.
“You will be fine. It’s easy!” She said, but it wasn’t easy at all. On the stage, four other actors and actresses spoke their lines, and I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. I couldn’t even breathe. I just wanted to leave. The next thing I knew, I was running off the stage.
As I was running off the stage, I accidentally knocked over a glass of grape juice that was on a table. The purple juice hit the girl next to me—Andrea, the leading actress of the drama. She gave me a nasty look. I thought she was going to kill me!
But then, Andrea quickly said, “Darling, you’re so silly! Let’s toast (干杯) to my darling’s silliness! Cheers! She grabbed another glass of grape juice and drank it.” The other actors quickly followed Andrea’s lead and saved the scene. The audience thought my mistake was part of the play!

Chinese stage performances have been popular for thousands of years. They attract not only many Chinese but also many foreigners. Some are listed here.
Ventriloquism (口技) Crosstalk
The ancient ventriloquism was a kind of sound art. In order to catch animals, ancient people had to cheat (欺骗) animals by imitating their sounds with their mouths. But as a performing art, it was popular no later than the Song Dynasty. Crosstalk, known as “xiangsheng”, appeared in Beijing during the Qing Dynasty. Modern crosstalk includes four skills: speaking, imitating, amusing and singing. Performers do all these things to make people laugh. The performers also tell funny stories about everyday life or historical events.
Beijing Opera Shadow Play
Beijing Opera is the soul of Chinese national culture. It came into being in the 1790s. It is full of historical stories, beautiful clothes and wonderful performances. There are four kinds of roles in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Beijing Opera presents plays and characters mainly by four artistic methods. They are singing, speaking, acting and acrobatic (杂技的) fighting. Starting from the Han Dynasty, shadow play became popular among ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty. It was a mixture of dance, drama, music, art and so on. When it became dark, the performers set up the light and paper screen. Then they held the human characters behind the paper screen and the audience saw the stories from the other side. The characters were made of animal skin. As the shadow players moved their fingers, the characters’ looks, dresses and movement could be clearly seen. At the same time, the performers told traditional stories.

Peking Opera
Peking Opera is one of the most famous forms of traditional Chinese theater. It has a history of over 200 years and is known for its special music, colorful costumes, and dramatic performances.
Peking Opera combines singing, acting, speaking, and martial arts. Each performance tells a story, usually based on Chinese history or folklore (民间传说). The actors use body movements, facial expressions, and voice to show the emotions of the characters. In addition to speaking lines, actors sing in a high voice that may sound strange to people who are not familiar with it. But every part of the performance has meaning and follows a strict tradition.
There are four main roles in Peking Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing, and Chou. Sheng is the main male role, often a scholar or a soldier. Dan is a female role, sometimes played by men. Jing has a painted face and plays strong or important characters. Chou is the clown who brings humor to the show. Each role has its own style of costume and makeup.
Costumes in Peking Opera are very bright and beautiful. They show the time period, character’s age, and status. The makeup also tells the audience about the character. For example, a red face means loyalty, while a white face often means the person is dishonest.
Today, fewer young people watch or learn Peking Opera, but many schools and cultural groups are trying to keep this art alive. Watching Peking Opera can help people understand Chinese culture better. It is not just a show—it is a cultural treasure.

★F1 ★Curious Tales of a Temple ★Nobody
F1 is an exciting racing drama (剧情片). US actor Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a Formula One (F1) star from the 1990s. Back then, he was one of the best, until a terrible crash made him stop. Years later, his old teammate asks him to help a failing F1 team. But Hayes’ new teammate, Joshua Pearce, is a young driver who wants to show his skills. F1 isn’t just exciting on the track—they even brought in a big star, seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton, to join its production team (制作团队). This makes sure the racing action feels as real as it gets. This movie brings to life six stories from the novel Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (《聊斋志异》) by Pu Songling. These stories mix fantasy and real life lessons about human nature. The stories all center around Larruo Temple, an old place filled with ghosts and strange creatures (生物). The movie’s trailer (预告片) starts with Pu Songling walking into the temple at night and introduces some of the best-known stories, such as Nie Xiaoqian. If you’re a fan of fantasy or Chinese culture, it is one to watch this summer. This movie continues the story of the pig monster from the popular animated series (系列动画片)Yao-Chinese Folktales (《中国奇谭》). The pig monster leaves his hometown, Langlang Mountain, to see the world.

Making movies bite-sized
In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, the well-known director Zhang Yimou said that audiences (观众) should visit cinemas instead of just watching 3-minute video summaries on their phones. His words have led to discussions on social media. Do you agree with watching movies through short videos Why or why not
I don’t agree with watching movies through short videos. People watch movies to feel the emotions (情绪). When people watch a movie fully, they can remember the story for a long time. This makes people want to discuss it with others more deeply. However, short video commentaries (评论) make it difficult to feel these emotions. People only learn about the story and this makes them lose the great experience of watching movies. Also, there may be some mistakes in short videos, so people might get the wrong ideas about movies. As such, I believe that watching movies from beginning to the end is better. (Shao Xinyan, 13, Hubei)
Short video commentaries can help us know the true meaning of the movie. Since we live in a fast-paced world, short videos make it more convenient for us to get information. Sometimes, people are interested in a new movie but they don’t have time to see it. People may also find the movie boring when they watch it themselves. This would be a waste of time and money. In this case, short videos help people enjoy movies and save their energy. Some people think short videos cause misunderstandings. But don’t worry! You can always go to the cinema and see the movies for yourself. (Cui Luoyao, 14, Beijing)
49．What might be Zhang Yimou’s opinion towards watching movies through short videos
A．Short videos make it unnecessary to watch movies in the cinema.
B．Short videos do not give the full cinema experience.
C．Short videos provide a convenient way to learn about the movies.
D．Short videos bring people the same experience as watching movies in the cinema.
50．According to Shao Xinyan, why is watching movies through short videos not good
A．Short videos can’t provide any useful information for people.
B．Short videos always have wrong ideas about movies.
C．Short videos make it hard to feel the emotions of movies.
D．Short videos provide us with a terrible experience of watching movies.
51．Why does Cui Luoyao think short videos are convenient for some people
A．Because they don’t require any payment.
B．Because they are easier to get than movies.
C．Because they always provide summaries without misunderstandings.
D．Because they can offer busy people a quicker way to learn about the movie.
52．What does Cui Luoyao imply by saying the underlined sentences
A．People should never trust any movie commentaries.
B．Cinemas will soon replace most of the short video platforms.

Ludwig van Beethoven, a famous composer born over 250 years ago, is known worldwide for his nine symphonies. Before his death, he started writing his 10th Symphony but never finished it. In 2021, a team of musicians, AI experts and historians used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) to complete this unfinished work.
The project organized by Deutsche Telekom began in 2019 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. The team trained an AI system with all of Beethoven’s music and works by other composers he admired. They also studied Beethoven’s notes to guess his ideas for the symphony. After over two years of work, the AI helped finish the music.
On October 9, 2021, the Beethoven Orchestra in Bonn, Germany, performed the AI-completed symphony for the first time. The concert was streamed live online for free, and a recording called Beethoven X—The AI Project was released the same day.
People had mixed reactions. Some praised the music as creative and exciting. Tim Hottges, a supporter, said, “Humans and machines created something new together!” However, others questioned: “Can AI-made music be called real art ” This debate (争论) made people think about how technology and creativity can work together.
