When Karyna Kovalevska, an 18-year-old from Ukraine, first visited China in 2019 as part of a Confucius Institute summer exchange program, she never imagined the country would one day become her second home.
The program began in Anhui province, where she eagerly took on the challenge of learning an entirely new language. Chinese wasn’t easy — but it was exciting. “It’s so different from Ukrainian or Russian,” she said. “It felt like stepping into a whole new world.” Kovalevska was amazed by the kindness and generosity she encountered, even though she was a complete stranger.
Three years later, she kept that promise and returned. Now she lives in Yuncheng, Shanxi province, with her Chinese husband, and she has begun documenting her everyday experiences through short videos. Her cheerful clips — whether tasting Shanxi’s signature dishes, joining villagers for square dancing, exploring traditional crafts, or trying out new technologies — have attracted thousands of followers both in China and overseas.
For Kovalevska, content creation is less about gaining attention and more about sincerity. “I just want to show the real life I see every day,” she said. “Some people abroad still have stereotypes (刻板看法) about China, but the China I know is open, safe, and full of kindness.” Her videos are intentionally simple, with no scripts, capturing genuine moments. “I don’t act or stage anything, she explained. I want people to see how an ordinary foreigner lives in China.”
After living in China for more than three years, Kovalevska says she has developed a deep sense of belonging. “China is my second home — the happiest place I’ve ever lived,” she said. “I’m constantly touched by the warmth, friendliness, and willingness of people here to help one another.” She is also fascinated by China’s rapid technological progress, having seen self-driving cars, robot dogs, and the country’s first commercial suspended monorail line in Wuhan, Hubei province. “The country is advancing so quickly,” she said. “I truly believe China represents the future.”
4. Why did Karyna come to China in 2019
A．To start a short video career.
B．To join a summer cultural tour.
C．To find her Chinese husband.
D．To study local traditional crafts.
5. What can we learn from Karyna Kovalevska’s words about foreign views on China
A．They praise China’s public safety greatly.
B．They expect to live in China personally.
C．They misunderstand China’s real daily life.
D．They know China in an all-round way.
6. What makes Kovalevska feel closely connected with China
A．Its kind interpersonal relations.
B．Its pleasant natural surroundings.
C．Its convenient public transport.
D．Its amazing modern technologies.
7. What does Karyna Kovalevska’s experience tell us

B．True China shines with warmth and hope.
C．Cross-cultural marriages create happy lives.
D．Language study brings lifelong friendships.
C
Ten years ago, scientists identified a small group of individuals who feel no pleasure from music even though their hearing is normal and they enjoy other types of experiences. This condition, called “specific musical anhedonia (快感缺乏症),” occurs when the brain’s auditory (听觉的) regions fail to properly communicate with the areas involved in reward. In a paper recently published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences, the researchers who first described the condition outline the brain processes involved and explain how this work may help uncover broader differences in how people experience pleasure and joy.
To identify this condition, the team developed the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (BMRQ), which assesses responses to five musical reward sources: emotional impact, mood regulation, social interaction, movement/dance, and enjoyment of seeking new music. Those with musical anhedonia score low across all five areas. Behavioral research and brain imaging confirm that their auditory circuits work normally — they can hear and interpret music — but the reward circuit shows reduced activity when exposed to music. This clear difference makes the special disease easy to tell from common hearing problems. Notably, this circuit responds normally to other rewards like winning money, proving the reward system itself functions well.
The core issue lies in the disruption between the reward circuit and the auditory network, not the reward circuit’s performance. Studies suggest genetics (基因) and environment may contribute to the condition. Researchers also propose that similar specific anhedonias might exist for other rewards, such as food, due to interrupted connectivity between relevant processing regions and the reward circuit. It means people may lack feelings for certain pleasures rather than all pleasant things.
The team is currently working together with geneticists to identify specific genes that might be involved in specific musical anhedonia. They also plan to investigate whether the condition is a stable trait or something that changes throughout life — and whether musical anhedonia or other similar conditions can be reversed.
8. How can we describe specific musical anhedonia
A．Loss of all pleasure experiences.
B．Truly damaged auditory brain regions.
C．Normal hearing but no music joy.
D．Reduced response to music rewards.
9. What does the BMRQ mainly do
A．Record people’s daily music habits.
B．Treat unusual brain hearing illnesses.
C．Test different styles of beautiful music.
D．Check people’s music pleasure reactions.
10. Which word has the closest meaning to “disruption” in paragraph 3
A．Disconnection.
B．Distribution.
C．Discussion.
D．Disqualification.
11. What will researchers study next
A．Popularity of special musical abilities.
B．Links between genes and brain problems.
C．Time limits of different brain disorders.
D．Ways to spread musical knowledge widely.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have developed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots to date. These microscopic machines, barely visible without magnification, measure roughly 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt. They can swim through liquid, sense their surroundings, respond independently, operate for months continuously, and cost merely one penny each to produce.
Powered entirely by light, the robots are equipped with microscopic computers enabling them to follow programmed paths, detect local temperature changes, and adjust movement accordingly. Unlike previous tiny machines, they do not depend on wires, magnetic (磁的) fields, or external controls, making them the first truly autonomous and programmable robots at such a microscale (微尺度).
For decades, electronics have shrunk steadily, but robotics has lagged behind, especially in achieving independence at sizes below one millimeter — a challenge that has puzzled the field for 40 years. At the microscopic level, surface-related forces like drag and viscosity dominate, rather than gravity and inertia that shape motion at everyday scales. Conventional robotic designs with small arms or legs fail here, as they break easily and are hard to manufacture. To address this, the researchers created a novel movement method: instead of bending or flexing, the robots generate an electrical field that pushes charged particles in the surrounding liquid, dragging water molecules to create motion. This design, with no moving parts, ensures durability, allowing the robots to be transferred repeatedly without damage and swim for months powered by LED light.
True autonomy also requires sensing, decision-making and self-powering, all integrated into a chip fractions of a millimeter across. This was made possible by cooperation between Miskin’s team and David Blaauw’s lab at the University of Michigan, which holds the record for the world’s smallest computer. Over five years of development, they overcame key obstacles. The robots feature electronic temperature sensors sensitive to changes as small as 0.3 degrees Celsius, enabling them to track cellular activity.
12. What is the power source of the newly developed microscopic robots
A．Light energy.
B．Liquid pressure.
C．External wires.
D．Magnetic fields.
13. What can be inferred about the conventional robotic designs for microscale machines
A．They keep running for an extremely long time.
B．They sense temperature changes accurately.
C．They gain higher flexibility in their movements.
D．They are quite easy to damage in tiny sizes.
14. Why is the collaboration between Miskin’s team and David Blaauw’s lab significant
A．It improved production skills of small robot parts greatly.
B．It created new LED lights to provide power for tiny robots.
C．It allowed key autonomous functions on a super small chip.
D．It proved electronics fail to match robotics in size reduction.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Development History of Tiny Microscopic Robots
B．Major Issues Related to Tiny-sized Robot Movement
C．Joint Research Cooperation of Famous University Teams
D．World’s Tiniest Fully Programmable Autonomous Robots

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。
Daniel ran all the way home. He could not wait to play his guitar. A moment later, a scream was heard from Daniel’s room. He raced to the kitchen where his mother was.
Daniel’s mother was in shock when she saw the badly damaged guitar. A scratch (刮痕) ran down the body of his guitar. His plectrum (琴拨) had been thrown into the sound hole, causing a rattling sound whenever the guitar was moved. Three of the strings had been cut and the loose ends were curled upwards. Daniel was almost in tears. He had saved his allowance for half a year before he was able to afford the guitar and he had always kept it in good condition.
Just then, Daniel’s younger sister, Marie, walked into the kitchen.
“Do you know anything about this ” asked her mother as she gestured at the damaged guitar. Marie glanced at it and shook her head firmly. Daniel was doubtful. His sister looked guilty. She was silent at first. However, Daniel persisted. Shaking her by the shoulders, he began accusing her of damaging his guitar.
“It wasn’t me!” she shouted. “It was Jo!”
Daniel stared at her in disbelief. Jo was Marie’s best friend who often went to their house. Jo loved guitars. She could not have damaged his. He looked at his sister seriously, wondering if she was using her friend as a scapegoat (替罪羊). Suddenly, Marie burst into tears. She admitted that she had taken out his guitar to have a look. Jo, who was there then, played with it but it was Marie who accidentally scratched it. She had placed the neck of the guitar face down under a paper she was cutting and had cut the strings.
Running his hands over it, Daniel realized that he could only afford to replace the strings and to accept that the scratch could not be erased. He would not be able to afford a new one for the time being.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With Mom standing behind them, Daniel stared at Marie angrily while she lowered her head.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next few weeks, Marie became Daniel’s assistant in his pursuit of a new guitar.

五、读后续写范文
With Mom standing behind them, Daniel stared at Marie angrily while she lowered her head. Seeing Marie’s regretful look, Mom gently comforted Daniel and told him that Marie didn’t mean to ruin his beloved guitar. Marie raised her head, tears rolling down her cheeks, saying she would do anything to make up for her mistake. She offered to use all her pocket money to buy new strings and promised to help Daniel earn money for a new guitar. After a long silence, Daniel’s anger faded away. He knew his sister felt extremely sorry and finally agreed to give her a chance to make amends.
Over the next few weeks, Marie became Daniel’s assistant in his pursuit of a new guitar. She helped Daniel deliver leaflets after school every weekend to earn extra money. She also learned to clean and maintain the damaged guitar carefully every day. Watching Marie’s consistent efforts, Daniel was deeply touched. When they finally saved enough money, they bought a new guitar together. The experience made them cherish both their belongings and their precious sibling bond forever.
