Pilotti, inspired by Peking Opera’s unique theatrical style, decided to become an actor at an early age and chose to study physical theater at a Finnish university.
In 2009, as an exchange student, he arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. Despite lacking Chinese language skills and Peking Opera background, he grasped the art form with the academy’s strict teaching. In 2010 and 2014, he returned to the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts to continue studying Peking Opera, which he later integrated into his original productions in Sweden.
In recent years, Pilotti has created theater pieces inspired by traditional Chinese stories—The Monkey King and Jingwei. The Monkey King show, featuring Peking Opera movements to express the character’s characteristics, has been really successful. “We’ve performed over 150 times and people are still coming,” Pilotti says. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the audience already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character up close in the show, it can be a surprise.”
Apart from merging Peking Opera elements with Western physical theater, Pilotti also engages children by interacting during shows and teaching them movements in workshops.
In addition to theater productions, he has been working as a cultural ambassador between China and Sweden, performing Peking Opera on variety shows, appearing in online videos, and giving speeches at forums.
Pilotti shares his work on his social media platforms, with many followers expressing awe at his performance and commending his efforts in promoting traditional Chinese culture. “My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together,” he says.
4. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A. Peking Opera’s influence on Pilotti. B. Peking Opera’s unique theatrical style.
C. Pilotti’s challenges in Peking Opera. D. Pilotti’s learning experiences in China.
5. How does Pilotti present The Monkey King show
A. He uses Peking Opera movements in it. B. He combines it with the story of Jingwei.
C. He teaches the kids in the performance. D. He offers the audience many adaptations.

A study in The Lancet (柳叶刀) reveals daily habits may influence lifespan more significantly than genes. Researchers analyzed data from over 500,000 individuals across 20 countries and found four healthy behaviors could extend life expectancy by 6-7 years, regardless of genetic tendency. “Your DNA isn’t destiny when it comes to aging,” states Dr. Elena Petrov, the study’s senior author.
The study identified four key factors: avoiding smoking, maintaining regular physical activity, keeping moderate alcohol consumption, and eating a balanced diet rich in plants. Surprisingly, participants with high genetic risk for early death but excellent lifestyle habits lived nearly 5 years longer than those with low genetic risk but poor habits. Physical inactivity proved particularly harmful, accounting for 12% of premature deaths in the study group—similar to smoking’s impact.
Socioeconomic factors also played a role, mirroring the UK Biobank findings. Individuals with college degrees lived 3.2 years longer on average than those without, while stable marriage added 2.5 years. “Social connections and mental health components are often overlooked in longevity discussions,” notes Petrov. The research also highlighted regional differences, with Mediterranean (地中海) populations showing particular benefits from their traditional diets and strong community ties.
Technological advances allowed precision in measurements of the study. Researchers used wrist-worn activity trackers to monitor exercise levels and AI-assisted analysis of dietary patterns. Blood biomarkers revealed how quickly participants were aging at the cellular level.
While the study confirms genetics influence about 20-30% of lifespan variation, its most encouraging finding is that lifestyle adaptations remain effective at any age. “It’s never too late to benefit,” emphasizes Petrov. The team now investigates how digital health tools could personalize longevity recommendations, potentially narrowing health inequality gaps across populations.
8. What is the primary conclusion of the longevity study
A. Genetics determine 80% of lifespan. B. Lifestyle choices outweigh genetic factors.
C. Diet alone significantly extends life. D. Exercise has an insignificant impact on aging.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Education and happy marriage positively affected longevity.
B. The UK Biobank findings overlooked socioeconomic factors.
C. Attention was paid to social connections in previous related study.
D. Mediterranean populations benefited from their sound mental health.
10. Why are technological advances mentioned in the passage
A. To introduce new ways of monitoring health.
B. To prove the accuracy of the research process.
C. To explain the importance of digital health tools.
D. To show the development of medical technology.
11. What is the team’s next research focus
A. How to improve people’s daily habits effectively.
B. How to decrease genetic negative impact on lifespan.
C. How to enhance community connections in diverse regions.
D. How to get proper longevity advice with digital health tools.
D
While many struggle to buy a house, more British people are choosing to live on boats instead. There were about 35,000 boats on canals (运河) in England and Wales in 2022, an increase of 33% over the past two decades. Many of these boats serve as primary residences.
Jonti Honer, a 37-year-old musician, lived on a narrow boat for several years in and around London, enjoying the outdoorsy lifestyle. “I love waking up to the water. One month, I’d been in the city heart, and the next, flowed to cows in the countryside,” he recalled.
Beyond the beauty and exploration, the lower cost and sense of independence are also attractive. Moreover, living on a canal boat is in line with the concept of green living, as it produces fewer carbon emissions compared to traditional housing, with less energy consumption for heating and cooling and a reduced reliance on large-scale infrastructure.
While costs vary, buying a narrowboat for canal life averages between 50,000 pounds and 100,000 pounds for smaller to medium-sized boats, according to Narrowboats.UK. That’s cheaper than buying an apartment in London, where in the richest regions, prices average around 600,000 pounds.
“Living on a boat was much cheaper than renting. Renting in a shared house for two months cost the same as the boat’s license and insurance. Maintenance costs were higher, but at least I was in control,” said Jonti.
However, life on water isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. There are still things to consider. “It’s hard work with constant maintenance and moving the boat every two weeks to follow guidelines for live-aboard boaters, emptying the toilet and filling the boat with water were routine tasks. I used launderettes for clothes as having a washing machine about isn’t practical,” said Jonti.
Despite the inconveniences, Jonti fondly remembers his time owning a boat. “You become very practical, learning to maintain the boat yourself. Everyone is friendly and helpful with an ‘all-in-it-together’ kind of feel,” he concluded.
12. What is one of the main attractions of living on a canal boat
A. The high-end facilities. B. The large living space.
C. The less living expenses. D. The ease of finding parking.
13. Which of the following is a routine task for live-aboard boaters
A. Repairing the toilet monthly. B. Moving the boat every other week.
C. Buying new equipment frequently. D. Renewing the boat’s license annually.
14. How does the author develop the passage
A. By stating a phenomenon and providing details.
B. By listing rich data and presenting an argument.
C. By comparing lifestyles and making a suggestion.
D. By presenting a problem and analyzing its causes.
15. Which of the following can best describe the life on the canals
A. Costly but comfortable. B. Inconvenient but effortless.
C. Simple but enjoyable. D. Challenging but attractive.

Learning a new language takes regular practice. ___16___. Here are four interesting ideas to help your language learning.
___17___
Children’s animations are perfect for beginners. Unlike adult shows with quick conversations, they use easy words, clear speaking, and repeat sentences that match basic learning. On YouTube, you can find English cartoons like “Peppa Pig” or simple Japanese anime. Pictures help you understand the meaning while hearing the words, helping you learn sentence patterns naturally.
Listen everywhere
Just listening helps you get used to how a language sounds. ___18___. For example, Spanish learners can try “News in Simple Spanish,” while K-pop lovers can study Korean song words. Hearing common phrases and speech rhythms many times trains your ears to understand better.

Make a foreign friend
Writing to someone from another country helps both language and culture learning. Websites like InterPals connect learners worldwide—like a German student learning Chinese could partner with a Chinese student learning German. Through the exchange of letters, you gain a lot. ___20___. Plus, everyone gets a friend.
Remember, learning a language takes time. But mixing these fun methods with daily practice will bring great results!

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。
Nancy was lonely at school, until she befriended a rescue horse called L’il Bit.
On a rainy Wednesday afternoon, Nancy sat in her room, busy with her color pencils. Downstairs, her mom called up the old wooden staircase, “What were you doing up there, honey I heard a noise.” Nancy replied it was nothing. Mom smiled and guessed she was drawing horses again.
Nancy loved horses and dreamed day and night about having one. Mom told her she couldn’t have a horse as a pet. Nancy explained she didn’t want a horse as a pet—she just wanted one as a friend. Nancy was shy in school and had no friends. She thought she simply didn’t fit in with her classmates.
A few days later, Nancy’s mom said she had a surprise for her. While in the market, Nancy’s mom had found a flyer (传单) about a fundraising event for a local horse rescue. Nancy asked what a horse rescue was. Mom explained it was a place for homeless horses, but the place needed money and volunteers to help the horses.
The flyer appealed for donations, volunteers, and other help. Nancy’s mom took her to the event that weekend. Nancy could barely contain her excitement in the car.
The place where the horses lived was beautiful. Each horse had its own stall (马厩). Nancy peered (瞥见) over one stall door and saw a horse, much smaller than the rest, standing all the way in the corner. The program director opened the stall door and introduced her as L’il Bit.
L’il Bit backed away. The director explained the horse was shy. Because she was shorter and not as pretty as the other horses, she didn’t get much attention from visitors. Nancy remarked that L’il Bit was shy like her, and she thought the horse was beautiful.
Determined, Nancy asked her mom if she could volunteer.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
After a lot of discussion, her mom finally agreed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
In those years Nancy became more confident and outgoing.

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。
Nancy was lonely at school, until she befriended a rescue horse called L’il Bit.
On a rainy Wednesday afternoon, Nancy sat in her room, busy with her color pencils. Downstairs, her mom called up the old wooden staircase, “What were you doing up there, honey I heard a noise.” Nancy replied it was nothing. Mom smiled and guessed she was drawing horses again.
Nancy loved horses and dreamed day and night about having one. Mom told her she couldn’t have a horse as a pet. Nancy explained she didn’t want a horse as a pet—she just wanted one as a friend. Nancy was shy in school and had no friends. She thought she simply didn’t fit in with her classmates.
A few days later, Nancy’s mom said she had a surprise for her. While in the market, Nancy’s mom had found a flyer (传单) about a fundraising event for a local horse rescue. Nancy asked what a horse rescue was. Mom explained it was a place for homeless horses, but the place needed money and volunteers to help the horses.
The flyer appealed for donations, volunteers, and other help. Nancy’s mom took her to the event that weekend. Nancy could barely contain her excitement in the car.
The place where the horses lived was beautiful. Each horse had its own stall (马厩). Nancy peered (瞥见) over one stall door and saw a horse, much smaller than the rest, standing all the way in the corner. The program director opened the stall door and introduced her as L’il Bit.
L’il Bit backed away. The director explained the horse was shy. Because she was shorter and not as pretty as the other horses, she didn’t get much attention from visitors. Nancy remarked that L’il Bit was shy like her, and she thought the horse was beautiful.
Determined, Nancy asked her mom if she could volunteer.

【答案】
After a lot of discussion, her mom finally agreed. With excitement filling her heart, Nancy began volunteering every weekend at the horse rescue. At first, L’il Bit would shy away, but Nancy patiently stood by the stall, speaking softly and offering apples. Gradually, the horse started approaching Nancy, her dark eyes reflecting trust. One golden afternoon, as the setting sun cast shadows across the stall, L’il Bit leaned into Nancy’s palm for the first time. Nancy’s eyes were sparkling with joy as she gently stroked the horse’s back, their friendship slowly working its magic.
In those years Nancy became more confident and outgoing. The bond with L’il Bit gave her the courage to step out of her shell. The once-shy girl now stood tall, her voice steady as she gave presentations about horse rescue at school. The classmates who had previously ignored her but now gathered around, listening to her stories and admiring her. Just as she’d helped L’il Bit find courage, she’d found her own strength through this journey. Finally, it dawned on Nancy that when you mend a broken soul, you mend your own.
