In a recent exclusive interview, Chinese director Wen Muye, Egyptian teenage star Omar Sherif and famous talent producer Mohamed Osama shared the touching behind-the-scenes stories of their box-office hit Once Upon a Time in the Middle East, a remarkable achievement of China-Egypt cinematic cooperation.
For director Wen Muye, ordinary food carries extraordinary power in the film. He believes that simple food represents the purest and easiest pleasure in ordinary people's lives. Therefore, he uses different kinds of daily dishes, ranging from a luxurious breakfast to a simple fried egg, to create a sharp contrast with the cruel and abnormal reality of war. Every food scene in the movie is carefully designed to record specific emotions and warm moments during tough times.
As the talent producer responsible for casting all Egyptian actors in this film, Mohamed Osama holds a deep understanding of cross-cultural communication. He points out that China and Egypt, both with time-honored ancient civilizations, share numerous cultural similarities. He strongly believes that cultural exchange is the key to creating cross-border stories. His greatest expectation is to strengthen the long-standing cultural ties between the two nations and produce compelling works that can truly resonate with global audiences.
The cross-border cooperation experience has greatly changed Omar Sherif's perception of China. Originally, his only connection with China was that his great-grandfather was a native of Shandong Province. However, during his work and stay in China, he has gradually been influenced by local culture. He has learned basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), such as the medicinal value of herbs, and accepted the Chinese healthy habit of drinking warm water. To the teenage actor, China is no longer just the homeland of his ancestor. It has become a place where he pursues his career, makes sincere friends and gains public recognition. "I love this country," Omar expressed his true affection for China.
The film has achieved outstanding market performance, earning 2 billion yuan at the Chinese mainland box office and becoming a watershed in the history of China-Egypt film cooperation. To further spread cross-cultural friendship, it is scheduled for global release.
24. Why does director Wen Muye add various food scenes in the film
A. To show the local dietary tradition.
B. To record people's luxurious lifestyle.
C. To enrich the cultural content of the film.
D. To form a contrast with the cruelty of war.
25. What is Mohamed Osama's main goal of film cooperation
A. To introduce Egyptian culture to China.
B. To train more young Egyptian film actors.
C. To strengthen China-Egypt cultural bonds.
D. To improve global film production technology.
26. What can we infer about Omar Sherif from the passage
A. He intends to settle in Shandong forever.
B. He has developed deep fondness for China.
C. He knew a lot about TCM in his childhood.
D. He once had prejudice against Chinese culture.
27. The underlined word "watershed" in Paragraph 5 most probably means ________.

It was a cloud-covered August morning in England, yet the humid air hanging over a gentle east-facing slope felt tropical. "You could be in Sri Lanka," said Mark Wyatt, surveying rows of plants stretching across his Sussex farm.
Wyatt, who owns 100 acres in southeast Sussex, explained that the hillside-positioned between a vast lake and a wood-trapped moisture in a unique microclimate. That happens to be ideal for his new crop: Camellia sinensis, more commonly known as tea.
Britons have drunk tea for centuries, importing it first from China in the 17th century and later from India. Billions of cups are consumed annually, usually black tea with milk. Yet few have tried to grow it, let alone outdoors. A rapidly warming climate may be changing that. "I thought we could create something interesting, something special," Wyatt said. "With climate change coming through, all the headwinds seemed to become tailwinds. It should get easier over time, as the temperature changes and so does the nature of what is possible with passion and a bit of science. "
Last summer was the hottest on record in Britain, with temperatures reaching 38.1℃ and severe drought hitting much of the country. Many farmers faced crisis: potatoes emerged small or spoiled, wheat and oat yields fell, and milk production dropped.
"The climate is a huge part of it,"said Carol Wagstaff, an agriculture expert at the University of Reading. Yet she added that one crisis also presents opportunity. Steadily warming temperatures have encouraged some British farmers to experiment with crops not traditionally grown in the UK-including melons, kiwis, grapes, nuts and even citrus fruit.
Wyatt, 58, bought his farm two decades ago after a career in legal publishing. He initially raised livestock but planted tea bushes for the first time in 2022 after years of research. This year marks his first commercial harvest. He hopes to expand from 8,500 bushes to 30,000 within three years, producing a ton of tea annually.
28. Why was growing tea outdoors uncommon in Britain before
A. For tropical adaptability. B. For little consumption.
C. For unsuitable climate. D. For equipment shortage.
29. What is Carol Wagstaff's attitude toward climate's impact on agriculture
A. Optimistic about ending drought.
B. Objective about shifts in farming.
C. Doubtful about new crop experiments.
D. Critical of traditional farming methods.
30. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The UK will soon stop tea import.
B. British farmers no longer grow traditional crops.
C. Mark Wyatt expects to enlarge his tea production.
D. Last summer's drought barely affected British farming.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. How to Grow Tea Successfully in Britain Today
B. Mark Wyatt: A Successful Tea Farmer in Modern Britain
C. The Rich History and Culture of Tea Drinking in Britain
D. Climate Change Opens New Farming Possibilities in Britain
D
On July 10, 2026, China's Long March 10B carrier rocket completed its successful maiden flight from the Hainan commercial space launch site, sending a satellite into scheduled orbit. More importantly, its first stage was precisely recovered by an offshore platform, marking China's entry into the rocket recovery era. This mission achieved the world's first net-based rocket recovery, making China the second country to master vertical rocket recovery technology.
Different from the mainstream landing-leg recovery systems adopted globally, the Long March 10B team pioneered an innovative offshore net-capture technology. The recovery operation relied on the giant ship "Linghangzhe", a 25,000-ton platform equipped with advanced dynamic positioning systems, which can resist disturbances from wind, waves and ocean currents, ensuring stable and accurate positioning at sea.
The whole recovery process is a precise two-way rendezvous(对接). The rocket adjusts its attitude and speed in real time, while the offshore platform's net system cooperates to capture the descending first stage. After being caught, the rocket is further fixed by auxiliary cables(辅助缆) and automatic locking devices to avoid shaking in marine environments.
The net-based recovery system has obvious advantages. It removes the need for complex landing legs on rockets, reducing overall weight and improving payload capacity. It also tolerates larger landing deviations (偏差) and can be modularly adapted for rockets of different sizes. Experts stated that the breakthrough fills China's technological gap in low-cost reusable space launchers.
Looking ahead, researchers will continue upgrading the rocket's reusable performance and plan to conduct a reused first-stage flight test by the end of 2026. The technology will greatly cut commercial launch costs, boost China's global competitiveness in commercial space industry, and support large-scale low-Earth orbit satellite network construction.
32. What is the significance of the Long March 10B's maiden flight mission
A. It finished the first rocket launch in the open sea.
B. It completely replaced traditional recovery systems.
C. It successfully reused rocket first stages for the first time.
D. It made the world's first net-based rocket recovery a reality.
33. What is one characteristic of the platform of "Linghangzhe"
A. It can adjust its position automatically at sea.
B. It adopts mainstream landing-leg recovery system.
C. It serves as a launch site for commercial satellites.
D. It can catch the falling rocket with auxiliary cables.
34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The effect of the platform. B. The function of the rocket.
C. The procedure of the recovery. D. The advantage of the system.
35. What will the research team do by the end of 2026
A. Carry out a reused first-stage flight test.
B. Upgrade the dynamic positioning system.
C. Invent new landing-leg recovery technology.
D. Complete the construction of satellite networks.

Bringing Your Cat to a Museum It's Happening in Shanghai!
Can you imagine wandering through a museum with your pet cat by your side This imaginative idea became a reality in Shanghai, where the "On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt" exhibition opened at the Shanghai Museum in July 2024. It was the largest and highest-level exhibition of ancient Egyptian treasures ever held in Asia. But the exhibition itself was not the only breakthrough. 36
The "Meow Night" event, as it was named, allowed visitors to bring their pet cats into the museum - a world-first initiative in a comprehensive museum. Each session accommodated 2,000 visitors, with 200 "Pet Tickets" available, permitting one cat per ticket. 37 From posing with their pets in a specially designed Cat Temple area to leaving wishes on cat-paw-shaped cards, every detail was thoughtfully arranged.
Of course, bringing hundreds of cats into a museum full of priceless artifacts required careful planning. The museum arranged insurance for every attendee, invited doctors and veterinarians to be on-site, and provided cat-friendly facilities such as a resting area, and anti-anxiety medicine. 38 As a result, the night passed without a single serious incident.
39 It attracted cat lovers from across the country. The first batch of pet tickets sold out within one second, and all ten sessions' pet tickets were gone within an hour. Some visitors even booked pet-friendly hotels nearby for the occasion.
The Shanghai Museum's bold experiment is part of a larger cultural shift. In recent years, museum cats across China - from the Palace Museum to the Chaotian Palace - have gained huge popularity online. 40 By welcoming them as honored guests, the museum has created a warm and inclusive cultural space, proving that even the most serious institutions can embrace playfulness.
A. The event was a runaway success.
B. These precautions proved highly effective.
C. These furry residents have become beloved cultural icons.
D. Museums should focus more on entertaining their young visitors.
E. Visitors were required to keep their cats in carriers during the tour.
F. The museum even designed a series of hands-on activities for the visitors.
G. The museum created a special evening event where cats could accompany their owners.

At Heretic Coffee Co. in Portland, Oregon, a special act of kindness warms the whole city. When the shop announced free breakfast for anyone in 41 , volunteer barista(咖啡师) Panda never expected it to become extremely popular. The small cafe was soon 42
with customers, with long lines stretching out of the door. Inside, the shop was full of energy. Volunteers hurried to 43 coffee and breakfast. People of all ages and backgrounds gathered here, gladly accepting the warm 44 from the community.
The kind program was 45 by the shop's founder Josh White. Last October, he learned that a federal food aid program would be 46 due to a government shutdown, leaving millions of low-income families 47 to make ends meet. Feeling upset about the situation, White decided to offer free meals to those in need. He posted the plan online, and generous donations 48 in quickly, topping over $ 10,000 within hours. What touched him most was a little boy's visit. 49 that no kid should go hungry, White launched the program immediately. On the first day, volunteers served more than 100 people.
Actually, the shop's generosity is not a recent 50 . Founded in 2023, it is a nonprofit cafe aiming to help people find jobs. All extra earnings are used for staff training and public service. Gradually, the coffee shop has become a 51 place for local people. Homeless people, low-income families and regular customers mix together 52 . Many visitors say the simple meals fill them with great warmth and 53 .
After the food aid program was recovered, Heretic Coffee didn't stop its free breakfast service. With over $ 400,000 in donations, it continues to serve the community and cooperates with other charity groups. For White, the best 54 is that more people have walked out of poverty and built new lives. The shop is far more than a cafe - it is a 55 of love and hope.

Since the advent of rock'n'roll in the 1950s, music from the USA and UK has dominated global music charts. Both countries have benefited considerably 56 the "soft power" of hit songs with English lyrics. However, 57 leading position of the English-language music is under threat from songs from non-English-speaking countries. This is according to one of the most 58 (influence) music streaming giants Spotify. The company said English-language music was losing its long-time dominance. There has been a surge in demand for songs 59 (sing) in Spanish, Korean, Arabic, and other languages. Spotify said the number of non-English songs in the charts more than doubled between 2020 and 2025.
A prime example of how English is losing its dominance is the worldwide 60 (popular) of the Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, who was Spotify's most streamed artist 61 (global) in 2025. Meanwhile, Spanish artist Rosalia astonished the music world with her award-winning album "Lux", on 62 she sings in 13 different languages. Spotify said that three music genres 63 (see) their chart presence rise by 30% or more in the past five years. These are Brazilian Funk, K-pop, and Trap Latino. Their streams increased by 36%, 31%, and 30% respectively.
The music website NME said, "The trend is likely 64 (continue) growing further into 2026." More broadly, this shift suggests that listeners worldwide are increasingly embracing music in their own languages, 65 (reshape) the global soundscape in the process.

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。
Monty Roberts was the son of a traveling horse trainer. His family moved from stable (马厩) to stable, so his high school years were often interrupted. In his senior year, his teacher asked the class to write a paper about what they wanted to be and do when they grew up.
That night, Monty wrote seven pages about his dream of owning a horse ranch(牧场). He even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch with stables, a track, and a 4,000-square-foot house. He put his heart into it. But when his classmates saw the drawing, they laughed. "A ranch You You don't even have a permanent home," one said. "Your family can hardly pay for your shoes," another joked. Monty said nothing, but his face burned.
At home, his parents heard about the paper. His father sighed. "Son, we love you, but dreams don't buy land. Be realistic." His mother added gently, "Maybe choose something safer." Monty went to his room and stared at the diagram. For the first time, he doubted whether his dream was foolish.
The next day, he handed the paper to his teacher, Mr. Carter. After class, Mr. Carter asked him to stay. "Monty, I read every word. This is not just a dream; it is a plan." He pointed at the diagram. "You have thought about the land, the stables, the track. That is how dreams begin." Monty looked down. "But my classmates laughed, and my parents say it's impossible." Mr. Carter handed the paper back. "People laugh at what they cannot see. Your job is not to prove them wrong today. Your job is to keep this paper and take one small step every day. Don't let anyone steal your dream." Monty walked out of the classroom, holding the paper tightly.
Firm determination grew inside Monty after the talk with his teacher. Years later, Monty received an unexpected visit from his teacher and old classmates.

Dear editor,
I'm writing to share my wholehearted support for the upcoming "No Electronics Day." It's a timely reminder to reconnect with the real world.
To make this day meaningful, I suggest organizing a "Nature Walk and Storytelling" session on the school playground. Students can share stories or read poems aloud under the trees. We could also set up board game corners where groups can play chess or Chinese checkers together. These activities encourage face-to-face communication and reduce screen dependence.
I believe such an experience will help us realize that life offline can be just as colorful as life online.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节：读后续写
Firm determination grew inside Monty after the talk with his teacher.The teacher's comforting words cleared away his self-doubt. He treasured the seven-page paper with the detailed diagram, which reminded him of his ambition. That evening, he shared his careful plans calmly with his parents. Moved by his sincere passion, they set aside their worries and gave their quiet support. Afterwards, Monty struggled alone. He studied ranch management in his spare time and took part-time jobs to gain experience and save money. Though facing countless setbacks, he ignored the past ridicule and advanced steadily towards his dream.
Years later, Monty received an unexpected visit from his teacher and old classmates.They were shocked at the sight of the well-organized 200-acre ranch and splendid 4,000-square-foot house. Those who once teased Monty fell silent, filled with shame for their shallow judgment years before. Monty guided them around and showed them the well-preserved paper. Mr. Carter watched with great delight and pride. This visit taught everyone a precious lesson. Dreams are worthy of respect, and only steady perseverance can turn what was once considered a fantasy into amazing reality

W: I grew up here in the US. Just like the lines in the song This Is Where I Belong, "I can't think of a place I'd rather be. The whole wide world doesn't mean so much to me." These words perfectly express the feeling of finding a sense of belonging, a place where I feel truly at home.
M: I'm not sure I feel the same. It's boring here. I've been thinking about doing some traveling myself, actually. I wonder if I should do a study abroad program.
W: Do it before it's too late.

Text 10 养宠物狗做伴
M: Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of keeping a dog, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists' advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfied with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8
weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.
