Arund the wrld, traditinal crafts are falling victim t technlgy and glbalizatin. In Hng Kng, Miru Wng Ka-lam is ding her bit t keep the art f Yue embridery (粤绣) alive. Wng’s hand-embridered she shp, Sindart, is ne f a few in the city t have survived the industry. T share her skills, the third-generatin wner f the 65-year-ld small business hlds weekly wrkshps fr thse eager t learn the dying art f embridery.
When family members gather fr dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they exchange gifts. Handmade slippers (拖鞋) used t be a ppular item t give t elderly members f the family.

Cheaper, machine-embridered slippers are anther threat (威胁) t the traditinal craft’s survival. Wng, hwever, believes that handmade slippers have better quality cmpared with machine-made nes. “Machine-made slippers feel different frm handmade nes,” she says. “The material is t sft, making the slippers uncmfrtable.”
One element (元素) that makes Sindart’s slippers unique is the wide range f designs. “My late grandfather, wh funded Sindart in 1958 in a tiny shp, created his wn embridery designs in the1950s,” Wng says.
Wng has made up her mind t give new life t the art f Yue embridery by adding mdern elements and making ftwear that is suitable fr everyday use. “This includes applying hand embridery t nt nly slippers, which is the traditin, but als t ther types f shes. Nw I’m studying shemaking techniques in a she factry s that I can achieve this,” she says.

C. They’re nt as gd as they used t be.
D. Peple prefer t buy mncakes instead.
26. Why are machine-made slippers cnsidered a threat t handmade slippers?
A. They are f higher quality.B. They are mre cmfrtable.

Have yu ever imagined a tennis lessn frm ne f the wrld’s greatest tennis players at yur lcal curt?
This dream came true fr tw yung players, wh gt t train with 20-year-ld superstar Emma Raducanu after she appeared as a hlgram (全息图)—a phtgraphic recrding f the image. While Sam Clague, 14, and T’nae Diamnd Paisley, 12, were bth in Lndn, the British number ne was in Abu Dhabi.
During the wrld’s first hlgraphic lessn, Ms Raducanu’s avatar (头像) appeared t feed balls t the players and gave live feedback n their shts, like “that was fast” and “there was lts f tpspin (上旋) n that”. Even Sam said he thught she had been pre-recrded at first until she spke with him directly.
Their hlgraphic training sessin ffers a glimpse int hw advancing technlgy culd revlutinize tennis caching, accrding t Dr Ian Pearsn.
Dr Pearsn thinks that mixed reality headsets will sn allw tennis players t feel they are playing in unusual virtual envirnments, like n a space statin r the middle f a lake. Thrugh 5G, the future f tennis will see increased interactin between real life tennis curts and the rich imaginatin we see in cmputer games—playing whenever, wherever and whever yu want.
Full sensry (全感官) virtual reality culd even place the view er inside the tennis player’s shes in real time. Dr Pearsn said, “By 2030, with active skin technlgy, the playing styles and even the sensatins f tp-level players culd be captured, s that anyne culd experience hw it actually felt t play that game thrugh full sensry virtual reality.”
Finally, sprtswear made frm smart materials culd allw fr a digital cach pwered by artificial intelligence (AI) t prvide feedback n a player’s frm. Dr Pearsn said, “AI-cntrlled suits made frm smart materials, such as fabrics with sensrs, can help players find the perfect strke when hitting r returning a serve by quickly learning the muscle memry f a flawless frehand. Using direct feedback frm friendly virtual AI caches, new players can develp and learn much mre quickly.”
28. What did Ms Raducanu d in the first hlgraphic lessn?
A. Give players a real time guidance.
B. Require players t fllw her shts.
C. Recrd caching cntents in advance.
D. Analyze techniques after the hlgraphic lessn.
29. What can full sensry virtual reality make viewers d?
A. Increase their imaginatin f sprts.
B. Take the place f tp level players.
C. Experience the feeling f players n the spt.
D. Have a sense f playing in an unusual place.
30. What’s Dr Pearsn’s attitude twards virtual AI caches?
A. Critical.B. Skeptical.C. Favrable.D. Cautius.
31. What might be the best title fr the text?
A. The future f tennis caching.B. The threat frm AI t caches.
C. The first live caching nline.D. The appearance f digital tennis partners.

“WHAT IS CIVILISATION?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ag in the seminal (开创性的) BBC series n the subject. “I dn’t knw, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recgnize it when I see it, and I’m lking at it nw.” And he turned t gesture behind him, at the saring Gthic twers and flying buttresses f Ntre Dame (巴黎圣母院).
It seems inhuman t care mre abut a building than abut peple. That the sight f Ntre Dame ging up in flames has attracted s much mre attentin than flds in suthern Africa which killed ver 1,000 aruses understandable feelings f guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight f the cathedral’s (大教堂) cllapsing steeple (尖塔) is in fact prfundly human — and in a particularly 21st-century way. Familiarity breeds affectin. A building n whse sunny steps yu have rested, in frnt f which yu have taken a selfie with yur lved ne, becmes a warm part f yur memries and thus f yurself. That helps explain why China is in murning — WeChat, yung China’s principal (主要的) means f talking t itself, has been fllwing the stry.
And it will be rebuilt. The effrt t rebuild it will bring peple tgether. Within 24 hurs, €600m ($677m) had been raised frm businesses and rich peple, and a rash f crwdfunding campaigns started.
Yet the emtins the sight arused were less abut the building itself than abut what lsing it might mean. Ntre Dame is an expressin f humanity at its cllective best. Its survival thrugh 850 years f plitical turbulence — thrugh war, revlutin and Nazi ccupatin — binds the present t the past.
It will never be the same, but that is as it shuld be. As Victr Hug wrte in “The Hunchback f Ntre Dame”, a three-vlume lve-letter t the cathedral: “Great edifices (建筑物), like great muntains, are the wrk f centuries. Art is ften transfrmed as it is being made… Time is the architect, the natin is the builder.”
32. What can we infer accrding t Paragraph 1?
A. Kenneth Clark is a staff (职员) in BBC.
B. Kenneth Clark believes that Ntre Dame is a symbl f civilizatin.
C. Civilizatin is s abstract that Kenneth Clark can’t recgnise it.
D. Ntre Dame is the subject f the BBC series.
33. Why has the sight f Ntre Dame ging up in flames attracted s much attentin accrding t the passage?
A. Because the sunny steps in Ntre Dame fr peple t rest n is impressive.
B. Because Ntre Dame has bsted the lcal ecnmy.
C. Because numerable peple arund the wrld has been there and left gd memries.
D. Because scial media like WeChat in China help mre peple knw it.
34. Which f the fllwing can best explain the underlined wrd in Paragraph 4?
A. currentB. partiesC. pwerD. disrder
35. What’s the main idea f the last paragraph?
A. The essence (精髓) f Ntre Dame will be lst if we rebuild it.
B. It is difficult t rebuild Ntre Dame.
C. If it were nt fr the fire, Ntre Dame wuld always stay the same.
D. Ntre Dame will change as time ges by even withut the fire.
