He began to think that he had no future at all. “Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it.” “But what can I do?” “Get out and have a look round.” advised his uncle. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.” Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end.

Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country as a tech power, but also shows respect to classical Chinese culture by naming the system “Hongmeng” in Chinese.“Hongmeng” is a classical word from Zhuangzi. In the ancient times of Chinese legend and myths (神话),“Hongmeng” was used to describe the original state of the universe before matter existed. For HarmonyOS, “Hongmeng” indicates the developers’ aim to make an innovative operating system, unlike any other.Besides “Hongmeng”, Hunwei has also registered many of its products under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese myths. For example, the company's Kirin mobile chip got its name after a lucky monster called "Qilin". And its server chip is called “Kunpeng”, a creature that changed from a fish into a giant bird.Many Chinese Internet users and media have praised Huawei's use of these names," as they stand for Chinese wisdom and ancient people’s imagination and spirit of exploration”, Global Times noted.In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. The movie is loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese myth The Investiture of the Gods. Earlier this month it became the biggest animated movie in China and was called “ the glory of domestic anime (国产动漫)”.Indeed, the long history and splendid classic works have given China a profound culture. Myths and legends are the creative works of tremendous imagination. As Global Times put it, today by revisiting a modern context, “ancient myths has the power to inspire imagination in young people”. After all, imagination is the beginning of creation.9. What do we know about HamonyOS?A. Its release raised a storm of objections.B. It is named after creature in myth.C. It combines high technology and culture.D. It's the best operating system.10. Which of the following best explains "innovative” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. creative B. modern C. popular D. intelligent11. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. The film Ne Zha is not adapted from myths.B. The film Ne Zha is a big hit.C. More businesses follow Huawei's lead.D. Ancient myths is a good choice for entertainment.CPeople who sleep fewer than six hours a night are more likely to die early, researchers in University of Warwick have found in a recent study. They discovered that people who slept for less than six hours each night were 12% more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who slept the recommended six to eight hours a night.The researchers pointed out that previous studies had shown that the lack of sleep was associated with problems like heart disease and high blood pressure. However, the researchers also found that sleeping too much was linked to an early death. Those who slept for more than nine hours a night were 30% more likely to die early, as an article in the latest Sleep suggested. That directly contradicts another passage in the same journal last month suggesting that people who slept for ten hours or longer a night were more likely to live to 100. This was thought to be because people who lived into extreme old age were healthier and therefore slept better.However, the authors of the latest research contradicted this and suggested that long sleep was a sign of underlying illnesses such as depression and low levels of physical activity. Professor Francesco Cappuccio at the University of Warwick said: “While short sleep may represent a cause of ill-health, long sleep is believed to represent more an indicator of ill-health.”He also mentioned: “Modern society has seen a gradual reduction in the average amount of sleep people take, and this pattern is more common among full-time workers, suggesting that it may be due to social pressures for longer working hours. On the other hand, the worsening of our health is often accompanied by an extension of our sleeping time.”“Consistently sleeping six to eight hours per night may be good for health. However, whether to achieve the goal depends on various factors such as the environment as well as measures of public health aimed at favorable changes of the working environments,” Professor Francesco Cappuccio added.12. What did researchers in University of Warwick find?A. People who sleep fewer than 6 hours each night die before 65.B. Sleeping for more than 9 hours a night does good to one's health.C. Six to eight hours’ sleep can be appropriate for people.D. People at an old age are healthier because they sleep longer.13. What is Professor Francesco Cappuccio most likely to agree with?A. Long sleep is what causes our health problems.B. Modern people sleep less because they work longer.C. Our health becomes worse because we sleep less.D. How long we sleep depends on our education.14. What did the researcher think may help people have proper sleep?A. Social pressure B. Longer working hours.C. Extension of sleeping time. D. Changes of working environments.15.What can be the best title for this passage?A. How Long Should We Sleep B. Longer Sleep Makes Better HealthC. Time to Sleep Early D. The Importance of Sleep第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Procrastination(拖延症) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till it’s too late.  16 . Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的) for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further. 17 Change your environment. Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy?   18 .Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. That’s because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until it’s too late.   19 . In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.  20 . I’m pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, you’ll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence our behavior.A. It’s a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life.B. Hang out with people who inspire you to take action.C. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.D. If it’s the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.E. Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.F. Having a companion makes the whole process much more fun.G. Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.第二部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life.
