On a warm evening in early June, shortly after finishing a workout in the city of Wuxi, a university student whom we will call Alex posted a lighthearted sentence on his WeChat Moments: “Walking alone makes me look like a gay (同性恋).” It was a casual, self-mocking remark — the kind of joke that often circulates among close friends. There was no target, no malice, and certainly no intention to discriminate against anyone.
But the internet has a way of twisting words. A fellow student, who had never met Alex in person and had never exchanged a single word with him, came across the post. Instead of scrolling past, this student — let us call him Sam — took a screenshot. Then, hiding behind the mask of an anonymous account on a campus forum, Sam reposted the image. His caption He accused Alex of being homophobic. (对同性恋有偏见的)
What followed was neither justice nor dialogue. It was a storm. Sam refused to remove the post. Worse still, he uploaded Alex’s personal photos without permission. Soon, strangers in the comment section began attacking Alex — his appearance, his character, his happiness. The bullying snowballed. And all the while, Sam remained invisible, protected by the anonymity of the screen.
Most people, when attacked online, feel the urge to fight back — to type furiously, to defend their name, to match anger with anger. But Alex did something far more unusual. He did not reply to a single insult. Instead, he saved every screenshot, recorded every link, and went to the police. Only then did Sam’s anonymity begin to crack. When the school advisor finally brought the two together for a face-to-face meeting, Sam’s online bravado (虚张声势) evaporated. He could barely lift his head. He offered a half-hearted apology, mumbling that he was “just telling the truth.” But behind Alex’s back, Sam filed a formal disciplinary complaint against him — a secret counterattack delivered with a smiling face.
Later, during mediation at the police station, the scene turned almost surreal. Alex calmly asked for only 100 yuan — the exact cost of his train ticket from Wuxi back to his university city. Sam, on the other hand, demanded 5,000 US dollars. His reason He claimed he had “flown back from the United States” just to deal with this matter. Never mind that it was final exam week, when no serious student would fly abroad for leisure. Never mind that his family could barely afford a 900-yuan bag, and that he had once posted online complaining about a price increase on a piece of sportswear. Even the police officer present could not hold back a laugh. “Please stop laughing,” the officer told Alex. But the damage to Sam’s credibility had already been done.
In the end, Sam signed a settlement agreement and paid the 100 yuan. He deleted his posts, blocked Alex on WeChat, and walked away — still insisting, to anyone who would listen, that he had done nothing wrong.
But the university’s disciplinary committee was already reviewing the case. And somewhere in a police database, a record of Sam’s behavior had already been saved.
4. Why did the police officer laugh during the mediation
A. Because Alex’s demand for 100 yuan was too low to take seriously.
B. Because Sam’s claim of flying back from the United States was clearly false and inconsistent with his actual financial situation.
C. Because Alex finally agreed to accept Sam’s apology without any payment.
D. Because Sam refused to pay any compensation and walked out angrily.
5. What does the underlined sentence “Only then did Sam’s anonymity begin to crack” suggest
A. Sam’s identity was revealed only after the police got involved.
B. Sam decided to reveal his own identity because he felt guilty.
C. Alex threatened to expose Sam’s name on the forum.
D. The school advisor knew Sam’s identity from the very beginning.
6. Which of the following best describes Sam’s attitude and actions throughout the incident
A. Honest and regretful — he admitted his mistake and sincerely apologized from the bottom of his heart.
B. Brave and principled — he stood up against what he believed was discrimination.
C. Hypocritical and self-contradictory — he apologized superficially while secretly filing a complaint against Alex and making false claims.
D. Indifferent and withdrawn — he refused to communicate with the school, the police, or Alex.
7. What can be inferred from the passage about Alex’s approach to handling the conflict
A. He immediately fought back online to defend his reputation after seeing the anonymous post.
B. He chose to ignore the bullying and focus entirely on his final exams without any response.
C. He reported the case to the police and insisted on following formal procedures instead of engaging in online arguments.
D. He demanded 5,000 dollars in compensation to teach Sam a lesson.
C
From a single teaching building on the banks of Dushu Lake to a global institution with nearly 50,000 alumni across the world, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) has written a remarkable chapter of educational innovation in just twenty years.
On May 22, 2026, XJTLU held its 20th-anniversary High-Quality Development Conference in Suzhou, marking two decades since its founding as one of China’s earliest independent-legal-person Sino-foreign cooperative universities. The celebration was not merely a look back but a bold step forward. Professor Youmin Xi, Executive President of XJTLU, unveiled the university’s 2026-2036 decennial strategy, announcing the launch of its “4.0 model” exploration — a forward-looking initiative designed to break down the boundaries between university and society, education and daily life, and learning and work.
From Humble Beginnings to Global Recognition
The numbers tell a compelling story of growth. When XJTLU first opened its doors in 2006, it welcomed just 164 students. Today, that number has surged to nearly 26,000, and the university has earned a reputation as a “beacon” and “benchmark” for Sino-foreign cooperative education in China. Professor Tim Jones, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Liverpool, praised the partnership as one of the world’s most successful transnational education ventures.
The anniversary celebrations culminated in a “Light Up the World” global campaign, connecting the university’s four home cities: Suzhou and Xi’an in China, Liverpool in the United Kingdom, and New York in the United States. Iconic landmarks — including Suzhou’s Gate to the East, Liverpool’s Royal Liver Building, and New York’s Times Square — were illuminated in XJTLU’s signature colors, symbolizing the university’s growing global influence. Over 70,000 people from more than 70 countries and 300 cities participated online, making the celebration a truly worldwide event.
A Culture Rooted in Innovation
The official release of the university song, “Onward We Go” (Chinese title: 步履不停), captured the spirit of the occasion. Co-created by nearly 200 students, faculty, and alumni, the song tells the story of scholars from around the world gathering in Suzhou to explore the future of education—and to provide “the XJTLU solution” to the world.
As Professor Xi noted in his address, “The core of education lies in building an ecosystem of growth centered on the holistic development of each individual.” He emphasized that XJTLU’s mission is not merely to produce job-seekers but to cultivate problem-solvers and change-makers capable of leading in an uncertain world.
Since its founding, XJTLU has evolved its educational models from 1.0 (professional-elite education) to 2.0 (syntegrative education with industry integration) to 3.0 (an industry innovation ecosystem). Now, as the university sets its sights on the next two decades, its 4.0 model promises to push even further — reimagining what a university can be and directly participating in the creation of a future-oriented, innovative social ecosystem.
8. What can be inferred from the growth of XJTLU as described in the passage
A. The university's student population has increased more than 150 times since its founding.
B. The number of students decreased due to the shift to the 4.0 model.
C. The university started with almost 26,000 students in 2006.
D. Student growth has been slow because of strict admission policies.
9. What does the author imply by describing the “Light Up the World” campaign in detail
A. The campaign was only an online activity without any real-world events.
B. The celebration reflected XJTLU’s limited global connections.
C. The campaign symbolized XJTLU’s global reach and community spirit.
D. The illumination of landmarks was a purely commercial event.
10. According to Professor Youmin Xi, what is the primary goal of XJTLU’s education
A. To help students find high-paying jobs after graduation.
B. To focus solely on academic research and publications.
C. To create an ecosystem that supports holistic individual growth.
D. To expand the university’s campus facilities and student housing.
11. What does the development from “1.0 to 4.0 models” suggest about XJTLU’s approach to education
A. It has remained unchanged since 2006 to maintain stability.
B. It has continuously evolved to break traditional university boundaries.
C. It has shifted its focus entirely away from professional skills.
D. It only values theoretical knowledge over practical application.
D
At universities across China, a quiet joke circulates among students: some courses are not meant to be learned — only to be survived. These courses, affectionately — or not so affectionately — nicknamed “water courses” (shui ke), have become a familiar part of the higher education landscape. The name says it all: just as water takes the shape of its container without substance of its own, these classes are often criticized for being academically shallow, poorly designed, and lacking real intellectual challenge.
What exactly qualifies as a “water course” The list varies by university, but certain subjects appear again and again. Military Theory is a classic example. Required for most first-year students across the country, the course covers topics like national defense, military strategy, and China’s security environment. In theory, it is important content. In practice, many students describe it as a ritual of copying exam answers from a thin booklet handed out just before the test — cramming for a grade with no expectation of retaining any knowledge afterward. Mental Health Education, another common requirement, sometimes ends with a paper-and-pencil exam that tests students’ ability to recite definitions rather than their emotional well-being.
The problem is not the subjects themselves. National security awareness and mental health are genuinely important. The problem is how these courses are often taught and assessed. Large lecture halls filled with hundreds of students, PowerPoint slides read aloud word for word by disengaged instructors, and exams that reward memorization rather than understanding — this is the recipe for a water course. When a final exam asks students to list the four types of military strategies or define eight psychological defense mechanisms, something has gone wrong. The form has eaten the substance.
Why do such courses continue to exist The reasons are multiple. For some universities, certain courses are required by national or local education policies, regardless of whether the institution has the resources or expertise to teach them well. For others, water courses serve a less visible function: they fill gaps in students’ schedules, generate credit hours for departments, and keep faculty members employed — even if their teaching does little to inspire. As one university administrator once put it, “Not every course can be a core course. Some are just... there.”
The consequences, however, are real. For students, water courses take up time that could be spent on meaningful learning. The hours spent memorizing military theory definitions or cramming psychological terms are hours not spent on research projects, skill development, or deep reading. Worse, the experience of sitting through a water course can train students to expect that all learning is pointless — a dangerous lesson to absorb just when they should be discovering the joy of inquiry. For universities, the persistence of water courses signals a failure of curriculum design and teaching quality. It suggests an institution more concerned with checking boxes than with educating minds.
Reform efforts have appeared in scattered places. Some universities have eliminated written exams for certain general education courses, replacing them with project-based assignments or experiential learning activities. A military theory course might end with a simulated strategy game rather than a multiple-choice test. A mental health class might require students to design their own self-care plan or complete a community service project related to well-being. These changes are promising, but they remain the exception rather than the rule.
In the end, the problem of water courses cannot be solved by rearranging test formats alone. It requires a fundamental rethinking of what a university education is for. If a course does not actively contribute to students’ intellectual growth, critical thinking, or practical skills, perhaps it should not be a course at all. Until then, students will continue to whisper the same joke: the water is wide, and the swimming is shallow.
12. According to the passage, what is the most distinctive characteristic of a “water course”
A. It is extremely difficult and requires intense memorization.
B. It is taught by the most experienced professors in the university.
C. It lacks academic depth and genuine intellectual challenge.
D. It focuses entirely on physical education and military training.
13. Why does the author mention the examples of Military Theory and Mental Health Education
A. To praise these courses for their importance to national security.
B. To show that even well-intentioned subjects can become “water courses” when poorly taught.
C. To argue that these courses should be removed from the university curriculum entirely.
D. To demonstrate that students enjoy memorizing definitions for these subjects.
14. What does the author imply by the sentence “The form has eaten the substance” in paragraph 3
A. The appearance of the course is more important than what students actually eat.
B. The university has spent too much money on course materials and not enough on food.
C. The focus on testing formats and memorization has replaced meaningful learning.
D. Students prefer courses with clear forms and structures over those without.
15. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude toward current reform efforts mentioned in paragraph 6
A. The author believes they have completely solved the problem.
B. The author considers them a step in the right direction but still insufficient.
C. The author opposes them because they make courses even easier.
D. The author thinks they are a waste of time and resources.

Why Does Tutoring Not Always Work
For years, private tutoring has been viewed as a shortcut to better grades. Parents invest heavily in after-school classes, believing that more instruction will naturally lead to academic improvement. Yet many students find themselves trapped in a frustrating cycle: the more they study, the worse their performance becomes. ____16____
One crucial factor is the concept of “diminishing returns.” While additional practice helps up to a point, excessive tutoring can lead to mental exhaustion. When students spend their evenings and weekends in extra classes on top of regular school, their brains have no time to rest and consolidate information. ____17____ Instead of absorbing new material, they sit through sessions in a half-focused state, learning little despite the hours invested.
Another key factor is the loss of intrinsic motivation. Students who are constantly told what to do by tutors may never develop the ability to learn independently. ____18____Over time, studying becomes something done for others — parents or teachers — rather than for personal growth. When external pressure is removed, these students often struggle to organize their own learning.
Research has also identified what scholars call the “placebo effect” of tutoring. Studies using rigorous statistical methods have found that while tutoring shows little to no positive impact on test scores, it does significantly reduce negative emotions such as sadness and anxiety. ____19____ Parents and students continue to pay for classes not because they improve grades, but because the act of attending relieves the fear of falling behind.
Finally, the quality of tutoring matters enormously. Large classes where students simply listen to lectures replicate the problems of regular schooling rather than solving them. ____20____ Without this personalization, tutoring becomes merely an extension of the classroom — longer hours, but not better learning.
Ultimately, the evidence suggests that tutoring is not a magical solution. More hours do not guarantee better results; what matters is how those hours are used and whether the student remains mentally fresh and internally driven.
A. As a result, their performance may actually decline with increased study time.
B. This explains why the tutoring industry continues to grow despite weak evidence for its academic effectiveness.
C. What works best is individualized instruction that targets a student's specific weaknesses.
D. The following reasons may help explain why tutoring sometimes fails to deliver expected results.
E. They become passive receivers of knowledge rather than active seekers.
F. Interestingly, tutoring has been shown to have the strongest effects in mathematics and sciences.
G. Once tutoring time exceeds four hours per day, its positive effect on academic performance no longer remains significant.

On March 24, 2026, Zhang Xuefeng, a renowned education consultant and career planner, passed away suddenly at the age of 41. Initially, the internet was filled with sincere ____21____ from students and parents whom he had helped navigate China’s complex college admissions system. Yet, just two months later, the tone had dramatically ____22____.
Zhang’s death did not fade into quiet memory. Instead, it transformed into something far stranger: an internet meme. The hashtags #Qiaolezi, #Sprite, and #Treadmill became ____23____ topics. These three ordinary items were quickly woven into a darkly humorous narrative: “Qiaolezi God of War,” “Sprite Superman,” and “Treadmill Maniac.”
Qiaolezi, a brand of ice cream, became a recurring ____24____. Zhang had once jokingly set a personal goal: he would only allow himself to eat a Qiaolezi after running 100 kilometers. He was also known to enjoy Sprite during his live streams and had ____25____ a treadmill for his office shortly before his death. The combination of his personal habits and the ____26____ of his death created a perfect storm for meme creators.
Adding fuel to the fire was a song ____27____ “Nian Zhang Shi” (In Memory of Teacher Zhang). Originally composed by a fan as a sincere tribute to Zhang’s legacy in education, the song was later remixed into a high-energy electronic dance music (EDM) version. The remix ____28____ the song of its original mournful tone and turned it into an upbeat anthem for the meme.
So why did this happen The answer lies not in ____29____toward Zhang, but in the anxieties of those creating the memes. For many young people, Zhang Xuefeng was the face of “involution” (neijuan) — the relentless, exhausting ____30____ for academic and professional success. He was seen as an architect of the very pressure cooker that young people feel ____31____ in.
When Zhang died of a sudden cardiac arrest on his office treadmill — after years of chronic overwork, sleep ____32____, and high stress — the irony was inescapable. The man who preached “run faster than others” had collapsed on the running machine. For a generation exhausted by the pressure to constantly ____33____, his death on the treadmill was not just tragic — it was darkly poetic.
However, not everyone finds this trend amusing. Critics argue that turning a person’s death into a meme is a new ____34____ in internet culture. It disrespects the deceased and causes unnecessary pain to his family. Whether one finds the memes offensive or therapeutic, Zhang Xuefeng has become a ____35____ of how a generation feels about the education system itself — exhausted, resentful, and coping through black humor.
21. A. celebration B. mourning C. apology D. doubt
22. A. improved B. disappeared C. shifted D. remained
23. A. declining B. confusing C. familiar D. trending
24. A. problem B. symbol C. memory D. warning
25. A. repaired B. returned C. purchased D. borrowed
26. A. manner B. location C. time D. announcement
27. A. titled B. sung C. written D. played
28. A. reminded B. stripped C. informed D. cured
29. A. gratitude B. sympathy C. kindness D. malice
30. A. competition B. desire C. need D. search
31. A. interested B. disappointed C. trapped D. experienced
32. A. pattern B. deprivation C. quality D. schedule
33. A. relax B. rest C. perform D. learn
34. A. high B. record C. standard D. low

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
On June 9, 2026, Apple officially released iOS 27 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). However, ____36____ (far) from receiving praise, the new operating system was quickly met with widespread criticism from Chinese users.
The main complaint centered on the absence of Apple Intelligence and the new Siri AI features. Due to regulatory requirements, these core ____37____ (function) are not available in the Chinese version of iOS 27. As a result, many tech bloggers have joked that the domestic version of iOS 27 should ____38____ (call) “iOS 26.5” instead.
The only significant update that Chinese users can actually experience is the long-awaited holiday alarm clock, ____39____ automatically adapts to China’s complex holiday schedules and avoids waking users up on make-up workdays. “It took Apple years to add ____40____ feature that Android phones have had for ages,” one netizen commented bitterly.
Well-known entrepreneur Luo Yonghao also weighed in on the debate, ____41____ (express) his disappointment with Apple’s lack of innovation. “Wow, so many innovations,” he said sarcastically. He further argued that consumers should not “act so cheap” ____42____ simply accepting incremental upgrades that offer no real value.
The controversy reflects a ____43____ (grow) frustration among Chinese consumers. While Apple has long been regarded as a leader in technological innovation, its recent performance suggests it is falling behind domestic competitors like Huawei and Xiaomi, ____44____ are rapidly integrating advanced AI features into their devices. For now, iOS 27 seems unlikely to win back user trust, and many are left ____45____ (wonder) whether Apple still prioritizes the Chinese market.

Lily had always dreamed of studying at a prestigious university, but when the college entrance exam results came out, her heart sank. Her score was nearly fifty points below the cutoff line for her dream school. For weeks, she stayed in her room, feeling hopeless and ashamed.
One evening, her parents sat her down. “There might be another way,” her mother said hesitantly. A family friend had introduced them to an educational consultant who claimed to have a “special connection” with a well-known university.
“He says there’s an international program,” her father explained. “It’s not widely advertised, but he can help you get in.”
The next day, Lily accompanied her parents to the consultant’s office. The room was elegant, with diplomas hanging on the walls. The consultant spoke in a calm, confident voice. “The program is completely legal,” he assured them. “The tuition is 78,000 yuan per year, plus a voluntary donation to the university’s foundation. My service fee is separate.”
Lily’s parents exchanged worried glances. The total cost was staggering — far beyond what they had planned. But the consultant smiled. “Think of it as an investment in your daughter’s future. This opportunity won’t come again.”
After weeks of agonizing, Lily’s parents agreed. They took out loans and borrowed from relatives. Lily felt a heavy weight on her chest — gratitude mixed with guilt.
September, Lily received her admission letter. She attended an orientation meeting on campus, where a school representative spoke proudly about the international program. But as Lily looked around the auditorium, she noticed something strange. All the other students seemed to have arrived through similar channels — brought by the same consultants, nodding knowingly at each other.
During a break, Lily struck up a conversation with a friendly girl named Mei. “How did you find out about this program ” Lily asked casually.
Mei lowered her voice. “My parents paid a consultant. Same as everyone here, I think.” She glanced around. “None of us could have gotten in through the normal process."
Lily felt a chill run down her spine. If this program is truly legitimate, she thought, why is it kept so quiet Why does everyone need a consultant to find out about it
That evening, she sat alone in her dorm room, staring at her admission letter. She thought about the money her parents had borrowed, the consultant’s confident smile, and the strange atmosphere at the orientation. Something about the whole situation felt wrong. But what could she do She was already here.
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Lily decided to visit the university’s foundation office to ask about the “donation.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Months later, a government inspection team arrived on campus, and Lily was called in for a private conversation.

Dear Xiaoxin,
I’m writing urgently about Cai Yujie. He enjoys jogging late at night on campus, but recently I’ve noticed his lips turn purple after running. I’m really worried this might signal a heart problem.
When I advised him to see a doctor, he just challenged me, saying, “You can’t outrun me, believe it ” He totally dismissed my concern.
Time is running out. He may keep running without realizing the danger. Please step in and convince him to get a medical checkup as soon as possible. His health could be at serious risk.
Best regards,
Yang Fan
【答案】范文：
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Lily decided to visit the university’s foundation office to ask about the “donation.” She waited nervously in line. When her turn came, she asked softly, “Could you tell me what the donation is used for ” The staff member smiled politely. “All donations support educational programs,” she said. Lily hesitated, then asked, “But is it truly voluntary ” The woman’s smile froze. She lowered her voice and replied, “The donation is listed as required in your admission package. I’m afraid I can’t discuss it further.” Lily walked away, her heart pounding. Required. Not voluntary at all.
Paragraph 2:
Months later, a government inspection team arrived on campus, and Lily was called in for a private conversation. Two officials sat across from her. “Please explain how you were admitted,” one asked. Lily’s hands trembled as she told them everything — the consultant, the hidden program, the non-refundable “donation.” The officials exchanged glances and took careful notes. “Would you be willing to provide bank records ” one asked. Lily nodded. “Yes.” After they left, she sat alone in the room, tears rolling down her face. She didn’t know what would happen next. But for the first time, she felt a small sense of relief. The truth was finally out.
