Across major Chinese cities a new generation of multilingual tour guides is redefining cultural tourism by blending storytelling with personal insight, offering foreign visitors a deeper understanding of modern and traditional China. Here are three examples of them.
In Guangzhou, young freelancer He Weijing has noticed a sharp increase in foreign tourists. She attributes this rise to simplified visa policies, more affordable flights, and China’s growing visibility on global social media. Fluent in English, Cantonese, and Italian, she sees herself as both a storyteller and a cultural ambassador. Her thoughtfully designed tours that highlight unique local traditions, such as the distinctive Tanglongmen gate, a three-layered half-gate, never fail to fascinate her international guests. For those interested in martial arts culture, she organizes trips to nearby Foshan, home to lion dance performances and Bruce Lee’s legacy.
In Beijing, Zhou Qi views her work as a vital form of cultural exchange. Having traveled widely, she aims to correct common misunderstandings about China. She creates personalized experiences, guiding CD collectors to hidden record stores or families through ancient hutongs. Her role occasionally extends beyond guiding. For instance, she once calmly managed a client’s medical emergency — an act that built profound cross-border trust. For Zhou, the most rewarding outcome is positively changing visitors’ impressions of the country.
Shanghai-based guide Dinna uses powerful contrasts to narrate China’s story, like showing old photos of farmland against today’s glittering Pudong skyline. After leaving her office job to travel abroad, she was inspired to start her own customized tour service. A popular stop on her route is the “matchmaking corner” in People’s Park, where parents display profiles of their children in search of partners. For Dinna, the essence of guiding is not merely language proficiency but achieving genuine cross-cultural communication and connection.
Together, these enthusiastic young professionals are transforming simple sightseeing into meaningful cultural dialogue, enriching how the world perceives China’s cities and people.
4. What are the reasons for the increase in foreign tourists according to He Weijing
A. Lower prices in local markets. B. Easier visas and media exposure.
C. More cultural festivals and events. D. Government advertising campaigns.
5. What can be inferred about Zhou Qi’s guiding work
A It focuses only on famous landmarks. B. It avoids discussing cultural differences.
C. It is primarily for young adventure seekers. D. It sometimes involves handling emergencies.
6. Which two words best describe guides like He, Zhou and Dinna
A. Professional and strict. B. Passionate and insightful.
C. Traditional and cautious. D. Humorous and relaxed.
7. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Visiting Chinese Cities as a Foreigner B. Learning Languages for Better Guiding
C. Guiding Across Languages and Cultures D. Sharing Chinese Traditions with Visitors
C
The search for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most exciting aspects of modern science. Given its importance, significant resources are devoted to the young science of astrobiology (天体生物学), ranging from rovers (探测车) on Mars to observations of planets moving around other stars.
The goal of this science would be the actual discovery of alien (外星的) life. Such a discovery would likely have profound scientific and philosophical implications. But for all we know, extraterrestrial life may not even exist. Fortunately, even if alien life is never discovered, simply searching for it will bring valuable benefits to society. Why is this the case
First, astrobiology is fundamentally multidisciplinary (多学科). The search for alien life requires a grasp of astronomy, biology, geology, and planetary science at a minimum. University courses in astrobiology need to cover elements of all these different subjects. By forcing multiple scientific disciplines to interact, astrobiology is stimulating a partial reunification of the sciences. It is helping to move 21st-century science away from the extreme specialization of today.
It is also important to recognize that astrobiology is an incredibly open-ended field, searching for life in the universe takes us from extreme environments on Earth to the plains of Mars. Whether or not life is discovered in any of these environments, this search will continue. The range of entirely new environments opened to investigation will be essentially non-restricted. Therefore, it has the potential to be a never-ending source of scientific and intellectual (智力的) stimulation.
Beyond the more narrowly intellectual benefits of astrobiology are a range of wider societal benefits. These arise from the kinds of perspectives that the study of astrobiology naturally promotes.
It is simply not possible to consider searching for life on Mars without moving away from the Earth-centric perspectives that dominate the social and political lives of most people today. Indeed, it is only by sending spacecraft out to explore the solar system that we can obtain images of our own planet that show it in its true cosmic (宇宙的) setting. Today, our planet is faced with global challenges that can only be met by increased international cooperation. At such a time, the growth of a unifying perspective is potentially of enormous importance.
“The most dangerous worldview is the one of those who have not viewed the world,” said the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. I think that there is an important implication in this perspective. Humanity is an intelligent technological species that now dominates the only known inhabited planet in the universe. It has a responsibility to develop international social institutions appropriate to managing the situation in which we find ourselves.
8. What is the primary impact of astrobiology on 21st-century science
A. It prioritizes biological research over astronomical observations.
B. It limits students’ training to a single core subject for deeper expertise.
C. It forms integration of scientific disciplines to reduce overspecialization.
D. It shifts focus from planetary exploration to laboratory-based experiments.
9. How does astrobiology contribute to addressing global challenges
A. By promoting a shared viewpoint to urge international cooperation.
B. By replacing political negotiations with scientific decision-making.
C. By motivating resource conservation from the Earth-centric perspective.
D. By providing advanced technology to monitor climate change directly.
10. Why does the author quote Alexander von Humboldt’s words
A. To criticize the narrow worldview of those without world travel experience.
B. To emphasize the necessity of viewing Earth from a global perspective.
C. To argue that technological dominance alone defines human intelligence.
D. To suggest that naturalists are better equipped to address global challenges.
11. What does the author argue for in writing the passage
A. The history and development of astrobiology as a science
B. The challenges of international cooperation in scientific research
C. The importance of space exploration for technological advances
D. The potential benefits and significance of the search for alien life
D
Scientists have long explored to turn the mechanical energy of raindrops into electricity. However, traditional droplet (液滴) generators have problems like being heavy, expensive, and hard to make in large sizes. A team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has created a new floating droplet electricity generator. It uses water in its structure, making it lighter, cheaper and more eco-friendly.
Unlike most existing generators that use solid platforms and metal electrode (电极), the new device floats on water. Water here works both as a support and a conductive electrode. This special design cuts the device’s weight by about 80% and its cost by nearly half, while it still produces as much electricity as traditional systems.
When a raindrop hits the floating layer of the generator, the water below takes in the impact and helps the drop spread out. At the same time, ions (离子) in the water carry electric charges. Together, these things let the generator make about 250 volts of electricity from one raindrop. The generator also has smart drainage holes. These holes use water’s surface tension to remove extra water without letting it flow back, so the generator works stably. It can also work well in different temperatures and salt levels, even in natural lake water. Its special structure makes it strong enough for bad environments.
Another advantage of this new technology is its capacity for large-scale production. Researchers built a 0.3-square-meter model, which is much bigger than earlier ones. It can power 50 LEDs at the same time and charge small batteries in minutes. This means it could be used to power small electronic devices and sensors on lakes or near the sea, without taking up any land.
Professor Wanlin Guo, who led the study, said this “nature-integrated” design is a big step for cheap and light hydropower systems. These systems can work with solar and wind power. Besides making electricity, the technology can also help monitor water environments, like powering sensors that check water quality. Of course, there are still challenges. For example, raindrops fall unevenly, and the generator’s long-term outdoor use needs more testing. But this floating generator is still an important progress for practical hydropower use.
12. What is the main advantage of the floating generator over traditional ones
A. It uses eco-friendly metal electrodes. B. It produces higher voltage per raindrop.
C. It works efficiently in desert environments. D. It reduces weight and cost significantly.
13. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The materials used to make the new generator.
B. The working environment of the new generator.
C. The working principle and strengths of the new generator.
D. The differences between the new generator and traditional ones.
14. The 0.3-square-meter model in Para 4 demonstrates ________.
A. the generator’s powerful capacity B. the larger size of traditional versions
C. the reliability of outdoor operations D. the ability to monitor the water quality
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the new generator
A. Doubtful about its practical value.
B. Unconcerned about its technical details.
C. Cautiously optimistic about its future use.
D. Confident that it will replace other energy sources.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone sends texts. It’s simple — one message goes out, and another comes back. ____16____ They smile, wink (眨眼) and cry. Without much notice, emojis (表情符号) change how messages feel.
Researchers often ignore these tiny images. But Eun Huh from the University of Texas at Austin and her team decided to take a closer look. ____17____
Think about your last text. Did it have an emoji Most likely it did. Nearly everyone uses them. But emojis aren’t just decorations. They work like tiny signals of emotion and bring life to plain words. ____18____ The researchers looked at this effect closely. Their analysis showed something surprising. People feel more connected to those who use emojis. It’s not about picking the right emoji. The magic lies in using them at all.
Why do emojis work so well They make conversations feel softer and friendlier. They can help to reduce misunderstandings since tone gets difficult to express over text. They also act like little touches of warmth. ____19____ Most importantly, they can do what words sometimes can’t: show that you care.
____20____ This one focused on imagined situations. People weren’t texting real friends during the test. The researchers suggest testing real-time chats next. The experts pointed out that this study included mostly U.S.-based participants. Emoji meanings can shift across cultures. What works in one place might not in another. And there’s one more question waiting. What happens when emojis conflict with words Like a smiley face paired with sad news. Future studies might explore those mixed signals.
A. Somewhere in between, emojis appear.
B. That sense of being heard led to stronger friendships.
C. Every study has limitations and this one is no exception.
D. They called them more responsive and the chats felt warmer.
E. A simple heart can completely change the tone of a message.
F. They draw attention and show effort, even in rushed conversations.
G. Her study examined emojis’ role in improving relationship closeness.

47. 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。
Manny gathered his notes and bag of props (道具). Then he walked quickly to the front of the class.
He turned and looked at his fellow students, who watched him expectantly as his social studies teacher, Ms. Hargrove, smiled at him reassuringly. Social studies was Manny’s favorite subject, and this “Could This Be Your Career ” project had been one of the most interesting experiences during the school year. Each student had chosen a career and was asked to create a presentation in which the student would demonstrate a task required of that job.
Now it was Manny’s turn. He’d chosen teaching for his career. His teacher suggested that he take her place for one class instead of giving a presentation. Manny thought it was a great idea, but now, staring at his classmates, he began to wonder if he’d made a mistake.
Quickly, Manny glanced at his notes. He had always thought teaching was a pretty easy job. Teachers simply did some research and then talked for an hour. In an effort to copy this routine. Manny had invested some time preparing his lesson and was ready to begin. “I’m excited to be your teacher today,” Manny said with a grin. “I’m going to teach you how the United States began traveling into outer space and ended up reaching the moon itself!”
At this, a few students smiled encouragingly, others looked down at their desks, and some gazed at the floor. Manny reached into his bag. He pulled out a small plastic spacecraft and glanced down at his notes. “Uh, this is a model of the Apollo 11 spacecraft. Can anyone tell me what this spacecraft did ” Manny looked around at his classmates, but they stared back at him blankly. Manny felt sweat starting to form on his palms as he tried to find his place in his notes.He pulled a photograph out of his bag, but several sheets of paper also came out. They fluttered(飘动) to the floor.
注意：
1.写作词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Manny bent to gather them up , feeling his face turn red.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After class, Ms. Hargrove called Manny to her desk.
