In a small workshop tucked away in the hills of The Gambia, 72-year-old Amadou Sillah runs his fingers along the strings of a half-finished kora (科拉琴). His hands move with the confidence of decades, but his eyes carry a quiet sadness. He is one of the last master craftsmen of this traditional West African instrument, and he fears his art may die with him.
For centuries, the kora has been the heart of West African storytelling. Its 21 strings, stretched across a large gourd, produce a sound that blends the complexity of a harp with the rhythm of a lute. Learning to build one traditionally took seven years, passed from father to son. “The kora is not just wood and strings,” Sillah explains, wiping dust from his workbench. “It is memory. It is history.”
Yet globalization and shifting tastes have pushed the instrument to the edge. Many young Gambians now prefer imported electronic keyboards or western pop music. Worse still, the shortage of halep — the sacred tree whose wood produces the best resonance — has made authentic koras increasingly difficult to craft.
But a new initiative may offer a lifeline. Last year, a British ethnomusicologist launched the “Kora Digital Project”, working with Sillah to create 3D-printed models based on his designs. These replicas, made from sustainable materials, are being distributed to schools across West Africa. More importantly, the project is recording Sillah’s techniques and oral history in high-definition video, creating a digital archive for future generations.
“I never thought I’d see a kora made by a machine,” Sillah chuckles, examining a 3D-printed prototype. “But if it means the music lives on, then perhaps this old dog can learn new tricks.” He picks up the replica, plucks a string, and listens. The note rings true.
4. What can be inferred about the traditional kora-making craft
A. It is easy to learn within months.
B. It is disappearing due to high costs.
C. It faces challenges from both culture and materials.
D. It has been fully replaced by modern technology.
5. What does the word “halep” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. A musical scale.
B. A teaching method.
C. A type of tree.
D. A cultural ceremony.
6. What does the “Kora Digital Project” mainly do
A. It sells koras to Western musicians.
B. It trains young people to build koras.
C. It records and preserves the craft digitally.
D. It replaces traditional koras with plastic ones.
7. What is Sillah’s attitude toward the digital project
A. Hesitant but open to change. B. Skeptical and unwilling.
C. Enthusiastic and fully supportive. D. Indifferent and unconcerned.
C
The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet（芭蕾）dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”
On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale（呼气）has a tendency to form an invisible（隐形的）cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. “Your inner ear thinks you’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying－that’s why some people feel sick. “Within a couple of days truly terrible days for some－astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass’ That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration（NASA）puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy. NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars’
8. What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space
A. Deciding on a proper sleep position.
B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag.
C. Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly.
D. Finding a right time to go to sleep.
9. The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when .
A. they circle around on their bikes
B. they use microcomputers without a stop
C. they exercise in one place for a long time
D. they watch a movie while pedaling
10. Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because .
A. their senses stop working
B. they have to stand up straight
C. they float out of their seats unexpectedly
D. their brains receive contradictory messages
11. One of NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is .
A. how much exercise they do on the station
B. how they can remain healthy for long in space
C. whether they can recover after returning home
D. whether they are able to go back to the station
D
Every December, my house turns into the island of unwanted gifts. People are kind, but there are only so many candied nut tins, caramel popcorn towers, and sugar cookies one family can consume.
Let us not forget my wedding-regift incident. We received a very expensive electric teakettle. We don’t drink tea, so we returned it to the store and got S75. Later, the store manager called, furious, accusing us of trading them a piece of junk. Someone had bought the kettle and discovered an obviously used cut-glass Easter basket inside. It turns out that person had regifted it to us. We paid the store back and were handed that ugly Easter basket.
This made me wonder: Is regifting a form of rudeness To find out, let’s explore both sides of the regifting debate.
First of all, humans have been regifting since the dawn of time. Caveman A gives Caveman B a rock; Caveman B gives it to Caveman C. We call that anthropology (人类学). Modern life demands efficiency. Why let something sit in a cabinet Why not give that brand-new item to someone who will actually use it It’s economical. It’s environmentally friendly. It’s basically the circle of life.
And yet, regifting is a high-risk sport. It requires memory and strategy. Give the gift to the wrong person, and suddenly people are texting: “Didn’t I give this to you ” Regifting can go terribly wrong if you misjudge a person’s taste, so you should not regift within the same social ecosystem, while also carefully removing all the evidence (cards, receipts, etc.). Ultimately, the key is to match the gift to the person — so never give spa products to someone who hates lotions (乳液).
My official ruling Regifting is not rude. Thoughtlessness is rude. Waste is rude. But giving something new, unused and suited to someone else’s preferences is generosity in its most practical, planet- friendly form. So go ahead — regift joyfully, wisely and guilt-free. After all, someone out there really needs those candied nuts.
12. What does the underlined word “furious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Confused. B. Frustrated. C. Annoyed. D. Surprised.
13. Why does the author mention “Caveman” in the text
A. To trace back the long history of regifting. B. To provide examples of human efficiency.
C. To encourage the proper action of regifting. D. To explain the nature of ancient anthropology.
14. Which of the following might be a successful regifting
A. Sending a spa product to a colleague. B. Returning a costly gift to a local store.
C. Sharing fresh candies with a neighbor. D. Giving a suitable scarf to a new friend.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Does regifting make sense B. Is regifting actually rude
C. What’s the power of regifting D. Why is regifting high-risk

Davey’s new game
Davey was in middle school. He enjoyed kicking the ball around, swimming, riding his bike, and running about in the playground with his friends. But then his birthday arrived.
For his birthday, Davey had asked for a new electronic game, one that he’d heard some kids talking excitedly about. He was a well-behaved child, so his parents were glad to realize his wish. However, from the moment he received the game, everything changed.
Davey loved the brightness of the display and the loud, integrated sounds. As soon as he switched on the device, his eyes lit up, his fingers stuck to the controller, and his ears stopped hearing external sounds.
“Davey, wanna go out and play ” asked his little brother, holding a football.
“No thanks, maybe later...” Davey answered automatically, without tearing his eyes away from the flashing screen.
“But Davey, all our friends will be there and take some photos together,” his brother insisted. Davey didn’t even respond anymore. So his brother left alone to join their friends.
Outside, the kids kicked the ball back and forth and had loads of fun. Davey, on the other hand, spent the whole afternoon curling up on the sofa with all his attention focused on the game. Only when the battery died and the controller stopped working did he wake up from his state of fascination. He then realised it was already dark outside.
The next morning, the game tempted (诱惑) Davey again. He resisted briefly, but soon gave in. When his brother invited him to swim, Davey just shook his head. So once again, his brother went on his own to join their friends. And how they enjoyed themselves! Davey, on the other hand, was still caught in the glow of the display screen, and only came out of its spell when the game was over. It was late at night again.
A new morning meant a new fight. He resisted for a bit longer, but again lost the battle. He played his game non-stop of course. When Davey put his game away that day, he felt burnt out.

【答案】Possible version:
Then he noticed some photos on the table, and his mum must have left them there. His heart ached as he looked through them. They were of his brother and friends, their faces beaming as they kicked the ball and jumped into the pool. Davey froze there, feeling annoyed with himself. He could have made some wonderful memories with them together. At that moment, his mum entered the room. “I know the game must be fun. But you’ve seen what happens when you forget about everything else. How about putting it away for a few days ” suggested his mum. Davey immediately agreed. He grabbed the components, locked them in a drawer and left the key with his mum. “There, no game is going to steal my playtime with my brother and my friends!” he exclaimed in a determined voice.
The next morning, Davey looked at the drawer where he locked the game with mum’s help. It was as if the spell had been broken! Davey was ready for the brand new day ahead. “Good morning!” Davey greeted his brother eagerly.“And what are we going to do today ” His brother widened his eyes in surprise. “So does this mean you’ll finally be joining us Wow!” and he whistled his loudest whistle. “Then let’s go into the woods and build a fort!” The two brothers enjoyed a fantastic day in the forest together with their friends. The sun shone on their heads, the wind brushed against their faces, and they laughed even harder than usual. When evening came, Davey flopped onto his bed and fell fast asleep, feeling thoroughly content, full of new memories and experiences. And he couldn’t wait to see what kinds of excitement tomorrow would bring.
