As I prepared fr my Level 8 Ryal Cnservatry f Music pian exam, memries f previus disappinting marks filled me with dread and anxiety. The mere thught f bking the exam made me feel cmpletely strained. Hwever, fate had ther plans in stre fr me.
Just when I thught things culdn’t get any wrse, my trusty 10-year-ld electric pian malfunctined. The middle C nte played as an F-sharp, and multiple ther keys were ut f tune.
Despite my distress, my father refused t buy a new pian and instead urged me t be mre resurceful. Initially, I was at a lss withut my belved electric pian. But after struggling fr a few days, I decided t practice at schl. Thrughut my time at the private schl, I was determined t find every available pian rm n campus. After discvering hidden pians in crners, I spent cuntless hurs practicing. As my exam drew near, the music teachers knew exactly where t find me.
One day, while practicing in a pian rm, ne f my teachers walked in and ffered me a mini exam. T my surprise, she was impressed by my prgress and ffered valuable feedback n hw t imprve my technique. My hard wrk and dedicatin paid ff. Behind the pian, I fund a place where I culd be anyne.
Playing the pian became my escape frm the anxieties f adlescence and allwed me t express myself freely. When it was time t play in frnt f the examiner, I n lnger feared judgment. Instead, I nly feared nt being able t represent all my hard wrk. As the lights came n, I thught abut the incredible jurney that brught me t that mment.
Eventually, I received my mark. Nt nly did I achieve a rarely given “well dne”, but I als discvered a newfund appreciatin fr music. Whenever I feel discuraged, I lk at the gleaming keys f my new upright pian and remember the valuable lessn I learned. As my father always says, sme lessns are best learned the hard way.

It’s been nearly tw decades since the traditinal clthing style Hanfu first started t reemerge in China. Since then it has gne frm a small cultural mvement celebrating an ancient fashin t a trend that is bming n scial media, having been adpted by China’s Generatin Z as a means f cnnecting with their past. Instead f fllwing ther cultures blindly, Generatin Z nw have different pinins abut what trend is by prmting lcal culture while having an bjective view f extic cultural prducts.
The new tastes f Generatin Z—yung peple brn after 1995—are well represented n Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted mre than 100 millin views within 48 hurs with a clurful set f prgrammes ranging frm Peking Opera t classical Chinese cartns. The same is als true f mvie industry. Last year, fr the first time, the tp 10 mst viewed films in China were all dmestic films, while the ticket sales fr imprted films have drpped t nly 16.28 percent.
Generatin Z grew up with the rapid develpment f China and under gd ecnmic cnditins. With the develpment f the Chinese Internet industry, they have mre access t diverse internatinal infrmatin and culture, which bring them a much brader visin and makes them mre pen and cnfident in analyzing freign culture. “Apart frm taking pride in China’s rapid develpment, this generatin als pursues individuality and values devtin t the cuntry,” Prfessr Zhang Yiwu said.
He als nted that the ppular rck and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generatin is mre f a challenge against real life and lcal culture. Sme peple wh were brn in the 1970s and 1980s did nt grw up in the Internet age—they experienced the transfrmatin f China ging frm pr t rich first-hand. This kind f lnging and admiratin f the West came frm a lack f cnfidence.
Hwever, Generatin Z nw have the cnfidence t lk at Western culture with equal status. This kind f cultural cnfidence will result in China being mre active and creative in its develpment n the internatinal stage in the future.
8. What des the underlined wrd “extic” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Freign.B. Fashinable.C. Traditinal.D. Elegant.
9. Why is Bilibili mentined in Paragraph 2?
A. T cnfirm the rise f new media. B. T prmte Chinese Internet industry.
C. T highlight the ppularity f dmestic art.
D. T shw the ppularity f New Year’s Eve gala.
10. What d we knw abut Generatin Z frm the passage?
A. They have a strnger cultural identity. B. They are lnging fr cultural diversity.
C. They have made China develp rapidly. D. They are mre fnd f freign culture.
11. What can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. Cnfident China, Better Future B. China’s Prgress Results in Cultural Cnfidence
C. China’s New Generatin Redefine Lcal Culture as Trendy
D. Hanfu Style, Cnnectr f Ancient Fashin and Mdern Trend

Actr Justin Baldni nce remarked that “Girls are weak, and bys are strng”, a message that has uncnsciusly influenced millins f children, including himself. As a child, Justin desperately sught acceptance frm thers, causing him t pretend t be strng when he was weak and cnfident when he was insecure. But is this a healthy way t live?
Unfrtunately, sme peple believe s. They prpse t “prevent the feminizatin f male yuths” and request that schls hire mre physical educatin teachers t cultivate manliness in students. Hwever, this idea has sparked a heated debate nline, with many arguing that it reinfrces gender steretypes.
But what exactly is manliness, and why is it s cntrversial? At its cre, “manliness” refers t qualities traditinally assciated with men, such as strength, curage, and emtinal cntrl. Hwever, these seemingly admirable qualities can be taken t unrealistic extremes. Bys are human and shuld nt be blindly asked t cntrl their emtins “like a man” as it can lead t lng-term psychlgical damage.
As an educatr with years f experience teaching in China, I believe that physical educatin is essential fr students, nt just fr physical fitness but als t develp lifelng skills such as leadership and cmmunicatin. Hwever, fcusing slely n manliness as a reasn fr ding s is misguided. It is unnecessary fr all bys t build up their muscles, but it is crucial that they learn t be strng n the inside. Bys shuld be allwed t cry and shw their vulnerability withut fear f judgment.
Instead, schls ught t priritize imparting essential life skills and values t students, rather than reinfrcing utdated steretypes. As the Chinese state bradcaster CCTV put it, “Educatin is nt simply abut cultivating men and wmen. It's mre imprtant t develp a willingness t take respnsibility.” It is time t mve beynd harmful gender nrms and embrace a mre pen and diverse apprach t educatin.
12. Why did yung Justin Baidni pretend t be smene he wasn’t?
A. He lnged t be acknwledged as a real man. B. It was secure and safe fr him t d s.
C. He was trying t be strng and cnfident.
D. It was necessary fr an actr t be manly and tugh.
13. What’s the harm in expecting bys t cntrl their emtins “like a man”?
A. It can weaken gender steretypes. B. It can make them weak and insecure.
C. It will bring abut lng-lasting inner wunds
D. It will prevent them develping their emtinal cntrl.
14. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Manliness is ut f date. B. Manliness is veremphasized.
C. Manliness aims t cultivate life skills. D. Manliness nly fcuses n physical fitness.
15. What’s the authr’s purpse in writing the passage?
A. T explain what manliness steretype is. B. T analyze the causes f gender inequality.
C. T call n a mre inclusive gender educatin.
D. T highlight the imprtance f schl educatin.

Lizard(蜥蜴) Prblems
My prblems started when I learned that Mrs. Smith wuld be my furth-grade teacher. She had a lizard in her classrm, and lizards were n my list f terrifying things.
Wrse, Richard was in my class again. He knws I'm afraid f spiders(蜘蛛), and all year he pretended t put them in my hair. If he fund ut lizards were n my list, I’d be finished.
On the first day f schl I tried nt t lk at the glass cntainer in the crner, but Mrs. Smith pulled ut the lizard and set him against her shulder like a baby. “This is Ripley”, she said.
Richard whispered, “Bet yu’re scared f him.” “I am nt!” I said. Mrs. Smith lked tward Richard and me. “What's wrng?” she asked.
“Amy's scared f Ripley” Richard annunced. “N, I'm nt.” My chest tightened. “I lve lizards. They’re my favrite animals.”
Mrs. Smith smiled. “I was ging t ask fr a vlunteer t feed Ripley at recess(课间休息),but since yu’re a lizard lver, hw wuld yu like the jb?”
She prbably thught I was speechless with jy.
Befre recess, Mrs. Smith shwed me Ripley’s bag f greens. I can handle that, I tld myself. I’ll just lift the cntainer lid(盖子),drp in the greens, and run.
As Mrs. Smith led the class ut the dr, I was frzen in a blck f ice. I wanted t cry, but my tears were frzen, t. Ripley sat still watching. I knew he was waiting t jump at me the secnd I lifted the lid. I just std there fr a lng time, staring back at Ripley.
Vices in the hall tld me recess was ver. I clsed my eyes, lifted the lid, threw in the greens, and shut the lid. Mrs. Smith said, “Yu must be enjying yur jb, Amy Yu didn't cme ut fr recess at all.”
Richard's eyes gt wide. I'd fled him. But nw I'd have t spend every recess with a lizard.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
After a few weeks, Richard said “Why des Amy always get t feed Ripley? I want a turn.”_____________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
I meant fr Richard t put Ripley dwn inside the cntainer, but Richard set him n the flr and ran utside. Cnsumed with fear and anxiety, I std there rted t the spt, nt knwing what t d next. It was at the mment that Ripley walked away twards the dr. Taking a deep breath, I grabbed him and put it int the cntainer in a hurry. What amazed me was that the lizard was nt s terrified as I imagined. In the fllwing days, I tried t tuch Ripley, held him and set him against my shulder. And then I pulled ut my list f terrifying things and fficially crssed ff lizards. Spiders were next n my list. I als gained a life lessn that bravely taking the first step t vercme fear in heart did cunt.
