Video games have been a popular pastime since the 1980s, and with an ever-expanding variety of genres（种类）, artistic styles and storylines, it is no surprise that many still enjoy them.
Here are a few popular picks for you to try this summer. Take a look!
The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Developed by Japanese video game company Nintendo, this action-adventure video game was released in 2017 with the launch of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s newest video game console（电子游戏机）.
Breath of the Wild is different from other games in the series because it is a sandbox game that rewards experimentation. It has won many awards, including Game of the Year at the 2018 Game Developers Choice Awards, and has sold over 19 million copies. It was listed as the best video game of the decade on the review website Metacritic.
The Outer Worlds
The Outer Worlds is a sci-fi role-playing game that was released in October last year. The game is set in a future world where mega-corporations（大型企业）control everything — even outer space. The Outer Worlds is unique because the choices you make in the game change how the story will end.
“From a story standpoint, every time we do a game, we’re just trying to get better,” Leonard Boyarsky, one of the game’s directors, said in an interview with PC Gamer. “You learn way more from failure than you do from success and we’ve had a lot of, uh, learning experiences.” The Outer Worlds has sold over two million copies and has won several awards for its memorable writing, humor, visual design and voice acting.
Minecraft
Even though Mojang Studios released it in 2011, Minecraft has maintained its position as the most well-liked video game. In fact, according to Mojang Studios, Minecraft had 126 million monthly users by May this year. “I had no idea it would get this popular,” Minecraft creator Markus Notch Persson admitted in an interview with London-based media company Den of Geek.
Minecraft is a sandbox video game, which means it is an open world with endless possibilities. It can be played on multiple platforms, and it even has its very own LEGO set. The world of Minecraft is made up of 3D blocks, a design that US entertainment website IGN described as “instantly memorable”.
21. Which one is the most popular video game according to the article?
A. Breath Of The Wild B. The Outer Worlds C. Minecraft D. Metacritic
22. Why is The Outer Worlds special?
A. It is the players who decide the end of the story.
B. The Outer Worlds is a sci-fi role-playing game.
C. The Outer Worlds has already won several awards.
D. The players can learn more from their failures.
23. What can we know about the video games mentioned above?
A. Minecraft was first launched by a London-based media company.
B. Breath of the Wild is created by Japanese video game company Nintendo.
C. The Outer Worlds is set in a future world where the players control everything.
D. All the three games are extremely popular sandbox video games.
B
Known as “China’s most popular love comedy”, Romance of the Western Chamber is regarded as one of the best works of its time. The play was written over 700 years ago by Yuan Dynasty dramatist Wang Shifu (1260-1336).
Set in the Tang Dynasty, the play tells the secret love story between a young scholar Zhang Sheng, who is on his way to take the highest imperial exam in the capital city, and Cui Yingying, daughter of a chief minister of the Tang court.
After bandits（土匪）surround Cui at a temple, her mother promises her daughter’s hand in marriage to whoever can defeat them. Zhang manages to drive the bandits away, but Cui’s mother takes back her word because Zhang is poor. However, Zhang and Cui have already fallen in love. With the help of Cui’s maid Hong Niang, the two continue their romance and break many barriers.
The play incorporates much of the beauty of the poetry from the Tang and Song eras in Chinese history. Part of its appeal to readers is found in the style, grace and flow of the language. In fact, the play represents a high mark of achievement in romantic Chinese literature, and is quite popular. It has given rise to many sequels and rewritings, and also influenced countless plays, short stories and novels. The Peony Pavilion and Dream of the Red Chamber probably wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Wang’s classic play.
The play also inspired generations of artists across various mediums such as woodblock prints, paintings and porcelain. This fine art is still on display at places such as Freer Gallery of Art in the US and Kwun Tong’s Sun Museum in Hong Kong.
The ancient porcelain pieces depicting iconic scenes from the tale are indeed impressive. The characters are like “the superheroes from another time”, Rachel Leung, associate curator（副馆长） of Sun Museum told China Daily. “It’s exactly like the Marvel franchise.”
“This story is basically about ... trying to break the societal strictures. It’s about courage and perseverance to pursue true love,” Leung said. “It’s surprising to know that centuries ago our ancestors imagined a story like that. They proved that they were not rigid or passive and they could be creative enough to make things for themselves.”
Indeed, Romance of the Western Chamber is known for opposing traditional norms associated with marriage and love during a more orthodox era. It has a positive take on marriage, emphasizing that true love should prevail（占上风）.
24. What can we know about Romance of the Western Chamber?
A. It was composed earlier than The Peony Pavilion.
B. The characters in the story have supernatural powers.
C. It represents the highest achievement in Chinese literature.
D. The appeal of the play is mainly found in its complex plot.
25. What can we infer from Rachel Leung’s statements?
A. Courage and perseverance are of vital importance to social connections.
B. It was believed that our ancestors were conservative and lacked creativity.
C. Romance of the Western Chamber enjoys popularity among the Marvel fans.
D. Everyone should take a positive and unconventional attitude toward marriage.
26. What does the underlined word “orthodox” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Open-minded. B. Dynamic. C. Ambiguous. D. Conventional.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Rise of China’s Love Comedies
B. Wang Shifu and His Most Popular Works
C. Marriage and Traditional Norms
D. Love Comes First
C
In June 2014, Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three-year-old Victoria Wilcher, who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.
Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that, during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are.”
Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, “You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone’s door. You just sit at your desk and do it.”
Another journalist says, “There is undoubtedly pressure to churn out（粗制滥造）stories in order to get clicks, because they equal money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.”
In a February 2015 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, “Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached, repetition has a powerful effect on belief. Thus, the rumor simply becomes true for readers.”
And, in spite of the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York Times’ public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It’s extremely important to question and to use every verification（验证） method available before publication.” Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because, in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click, regardless of the advantage of a story”. And, “if the story does turn out to be false, it’s simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.”
Verification and fact-checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers, and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change.
28. According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because ______.
A. clicks matter a lot B. resources are limited
C. money is needed for news D. journalists lack experience
29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Lies can’t sell without an atom of truth.
B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind.
C. You can hear rumors, but you can’t know them.
D. A lie, repeated frequently enough, will end up as truth.
30. What’s Margaret Sullivan’s attitude towards false news online?
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Consequences of false stories. B. Causes of online false news.
C. Inability of journalists. D. A craze to get clicks.
D
Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector（制造业）with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.
32. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to ______.
A. a lack of confidence in technology B. a slow progress in technology
C. a conflict of public opinions D. a waste of limited resources
33. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should ______.
A. take people’s essential needs into account
B. make their programmes attractive to people
C. ensure that each child gets financial support
D. provide more affordable internet facilities
34. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?
A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.
B. Believing that the world has become borderless.
C. Ignoring the power of global economic development.
D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.
35. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.
B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.
C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.
D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.

Video games have been a popular pastime since the 1980s, and with an ever-expanding variety of genres（种类）, artistic styles and storylines, it is no surprise that many still enjoy them.
Here are a few popular picks for you to try this summer. Take a look!
The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Developed by Japanese video game company Nintendo, this action-adventure video game was released in 2017 with the launch of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s newest video game console（电子游戏机）.
Breath of the Wild is different from other games in the series because it is a sandbox game that rewards experimentation. It has won many awards, including Game of the Year at the 2018 Game Developers Choice Awards, and has sold over 19 million copies. It was listed as the best video game of the decade on the review website Metacritic.
The Outer Worlds
The Outer Worlds is a sci-fi role-playing game that was released in October last year. The game is set in a future world where mega-corporations（大型企业）control everything — even outer space. The Outer Worlds is unique because the choices you make in the game change how the story will end.
“From a story standpoint, every time we do a game, we’re just trying to get better,” Leonard Boyarsky, one of the game’s directors, said in an interview with PC Gamer. “You learn way more from failure than you do from success and we’ve had a lot of, uh, learning experiences.” The Outer Worlds has sold over two million copies and has won several awards for its memorable writing, humor, visual design and voice acting.
Minecraft
Even though Mojang Studios released it in 2011, Minecraft has maintained its position as the most well-liked video game. In fact, according to Mojang Studios, Minecraft had 126 million monthly users by May this year. “I had no idea it would get this popular,” Minecraft creator Markus Notch Persson admitted in an interview with London-based media company Den of Geek.
Minecraft is a sandbox video game, which means it is an open world with endless possibilities. It can be played on multiple platforms, and it even has its very own LEGO set. The world of Minecraft is made up of 3D blocks, a design that US entertainment website IGN described as “instantly memorable”.
21. Which one is the most popular video game according to the article?
A. Breath Of The Wild B. The Outer Worlds C. Minecraft D. Metacritic
22. Why is The Outer Worlds special?
A. It is the players who decide the end of the story.
B. The Outer Worlds is a sci-fi role-playing game.
C. The Outer Worlds has already won several awards.
D. The players can learn more from their failures.
23. What can we know about the video games mentioned above?
A. Minecraft was first launched by a London-based media company.
B. Breath of the Wild is created by Japanese video game company Nintendo.
C. The Outer Worlds is set in a future world where the players control everything.
D. All the three games are extremely popular sandbox video games.

Known as “China’s most popular love comedy”, Romance of the Western Chamber is regarded as one of the best works of its time. The play was written over 700 years ago by Yuan Dynasty dramatist Wang Shifu (1260-1336).
Set in the Tang Dynasty, the play tells the secret love story between a young scholar Zhang Sheng, who is on his way to take the highest imperial exam in the capital city, and Cui Yingying, daughter of a chief minister of the Tang court.
After bandits（土匪）surround Cui at a temple, her mother promises her daughter’s hand in marriage to whoever can defeat them. Zhang manages to drive the bandits away, but Cui’s mother takes back her word because Zhang is poor. However, Zhang and Cui have already fallen in love. With the help of Cui’s maid Hong Niang, the two continue their romance and break many barriers.
The play incorporates much of the beauty of the poetry from the Tang and Song eras in Chinese history. Part of its appeal to readers is found in the style, grace and flow of the language. In fact, the play represents a high mark of achievement in romantic Chinese literature, and is quite popular. It has given rise to many sequels and rewritings, and also influenced countless plays, short stories and novels. The Peony Pavilion and Dream of the Red Chamber probably wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Wang’s classic play.
The play also inspired generations of artists across various mediums such as woodblock prints, paintings and porcelain. This fine art is still on display at places such as Freer Gallery of Art in the US and Kwun Tong’s Sun Museum in Hong Kong.
The ancient porcelain pieces depicting iconic scenes from the tale are indeed impressive. The characters are like “the superheroes from another time”, Rachel Leung, associate curator（副馆长） of Sun Museum told China Daily. “It’s exactly like the Marvel franchise.”
“This story is basically about ... trying to break the societal strictures. It’s about courage and perseverance to pursue true love,” Leung said. “It’s surprising to know that centuries ago our ancestors imagined a story like that. They proved that they were not rigid or passive and they could be creative enough to make things for themselves.”
Indeed, Romance of the Western Chamber is known for opposing traditional norms associated with marriage and love during a more orthodox era. It has a positive take on marriage, emphasizing that true love should prevail（占上风）.
24. What can we know about Romance of the Western Chamber?
A. It was composed earlier than The Peony Pavilion.
B. The characters in the story have supernatural powers.
C. It represents the highest achievement in Chinese literature.
D. The appeal of the play is mainly found in its complex plot.
25. What can we infer from Rachel Leung’s statements?
A. Courage and perseverance are of vital importance to social connections.
B. It was believed that our ancestors were conservative and lacked creativity.
C. Romance of the Western Chamber enjoys popularity among the Marvel fans.
D. Everyone should take a positive and unconventional attitude toward marriage.
26. What does the underlined word “orthodox” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Open-minded. B. Dynamic. C. Ambiguous. D. Conventional.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Rise of China’s Love Comedies
B. Wang Shifu and His Most Popular Works
C. Marriage and Traditional Norms
D. Love Comes First
C
In June 2014, Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three-year-old Victoria Wilcher, who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.
Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that, during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are.”
Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, “You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone’s door. You just sit at your desk and do it.”
Another journalist says, “There is undoubtedly pressure to churn out（粗制滥造）stories in order to get clicks, because they equal money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.”
In a February 2015 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, “Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached, repetition has a powerful effect on belief. Thus, the rumor simply becomes true for readers.”
And, in spite of the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York Times’ public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It’s extremely important to question and to use every verification（验证） method available before publication.” Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because, in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click, regardless of the advantage of a story”. And, “if the story does turn out to be false, it’s simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.”
Verification and fact-checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers, and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change.
28. According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because ______.
A. clicks matter a lot B. resources are limited
C. money is needed for news D. journalists lack experience
29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Lies can’t sell without an atom of truth.
B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind.
C. You can hear rumors, but you can’t know them.
D. A lie, repeated frequently enough, will end up as truth.
30. What’s Margaret Sullivan’s attitude towards false news online?
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Consequences of false stories. B. Causes of online false news.
C. Inability of journalists. D. A craze to get clicks.
D
Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector（制造业）with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.
32. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to ______.
A. a lack of confidence in technology B. a slow progress in technology
C. a conflict of public opinions D. a waste of limited resources
33. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should ______.
A. take people’s essential needs into account
B. make their programmes attractive to people
C. ensure that each child gets financial support
D. provide more affordable internet facilities
34. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?
A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.
B. Believing that the world has become borderless.
C. Ignoring the power of global economic development.
D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.
35. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.
B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.
C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.
D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.
