Many people have warm memories of playing games while growing up. Do you remember running around outside as a child playing rock-paper-scissors? You may not have realized it, but games are a very important part of life.
During prehistoric times, humans would play a game called Knucklebones. To play Knucklebones, the players would balance small objects like sheep ankle bones on the top of their hands, toss (抛掷) them into the air, and then try to catch as many as possible.
But why do people love games so much? They are fun to play, but that isn’t the only reason why.
For most, games are “like chocolate: a guilty pleasure consumed secretly”, Canadian-American game designer Sid Meier said: “They have a series of interesting choices. ” The rock-paper-scissors game is just an example. In every turn, people make a judgment, which is often based on their personalities and past experiences. “Navigating these choices shapes the course of play, revealing who we are and how we think, ” The New York Times noted. “Playing a game is an act of exposition (展示). ”
Games such as this require a faster way of thinking than in everyday life. But interestingly, whenthe game is over, the players can switch out of competition mode quickly and return to normal. “It separates a game from reality, ”Sam Von Ehren of The New York Times wrote. “We can enter and exit the magic circle freely. ”
Games can also be used to help improve critical thinking skills. Just take Go as an example. Go is agame that was made in ancient China, and it is still even played today. Even though we don’t exactly know how Go started, many researchers think it was invented to help teach tactics and strategy skills.
Even today, games are being used to help solve real-world problems. These types of games are called serious games, and they are used to help find solutions to problems in fields such as education and healthcare, among others. Perhaps playing games helps us to think outside the box in a fun and interesting way.
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. The way to play Knucklebones. B. The development of Knucklebones.
C. The popularity of Knucklebones. D. The objects of Knucklebones.
25. What can we say about the rock-paper-scissors game?
A. It is a game of eating chocolate.
B. It shows the player’s personalities.
C. The way of thinking is a necessary rule.
D. Judgments decide the player’s past experience.
26. What does the underlined word in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Awareness. B. Emotion. C. Politeness. D. Method.
27. What can we infer about games?
A. Games are nothing but fun and interesting.
B. Games are serious in the world of adults.
C. Playing games may encourage creativity.
D. We should play games while solving problems.
C
Since the age of 5, Laura Lee has had what most would consider an odd habit-she collects toilet rolls. At that time, she didn’t know this habit would eventually become a nationwide recycling campaign.
In December 2018, as a 16-year-old student of Nanyang Girls’ High School in Singapore, Lee founded ToiletRollSG, a national project that aims to collect 1, 000 kilograms of cardboard cylinders (甜筒)-or about 150, 000 pieces. As of February of 2021, Lee, who was studying at Hwa Chong Institution, had collected 860 kg of toilet rolls, reported Singapore Today. Slightly later, she was awarded Singapore’s National Environment Agency’s Ecofriend Awards, which recognizes individuals for their contributions to the environment, under the Youth and Students category.
But why did she choose toilet rolls? “They are convenient to collect and also one of the purest forms of waste to recycle because they are made of only one material, ” Lee told Singapore Today. “Project must be economically practical too. For example, it’s more difficult to recycle pens because they are made up of too many different materials like rubber casings (橡胶外壳), metals and plastics which require more resources to separate. ”
Lee went into a partnership with the waste management firm Veolia, which gives her five cents for every 1 kg of toilet rolls collected.
She organized “toilet roll challenges” within Nanyang Girls’ High School and worked with cleaners to collect used toilet rolls from school toilets. She also conducted talks about ToiletRollSG. But due to COVID-19, she has been unable to conduct physical talks, so she raises awareness about different social causes through her Instagram Live series called On A Roll.
One of the biggest challenges Lee has faced has been others doubting her due to her young age. “I always have to use my actions as well as the different things I’ve done to prove that I’m passionate and know about this, ” she told The Straits Times.
Lee will donate the money collected to a social cause that is focused on community health.
28. Why did Lee found ToiletRollSG?
A. To develop some good habits. B. To be honored by Ecofriend Awards.
C. To recycle toilet cardboard cylinders. D. To make contributions to her high school.
29. Lee’s mention of pens in paragraph 3 is to ______.
A. show toilet rolls are more important B. prove it difficult to recycle pens
C. illustrate the process of recycling pens D. explain Lee’s opinion on recycling
30. What is the biggest challenge Laura is faced with?
A. The failure to conduct talks. B. The ineffective cooperation.
C. The small amount of money. D. The mistrust of others.
31. Which of the following words can best describe Lee?
A. Humorous. B. Responsible. C. Emotional. D. Curious.
D
Chinese astronauts conducted a science lecture to millions of students on Dec. 9, 2021 from the Tiangong space station. The three astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, showed life in space and conducted experiments in microgravity.
It was the first lecture of the Tiangong Class, China ’s first extraterrestrial (地球外的) lecture series. Its goal is to popularize space science.
“The laboratory of the space station has many conditions that the Earth laboratory does not have, such as the environment of weightlessness and radiation, ” said Wen Xin, a professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He said that important jobs for astronauts in the space station include cell observation and maintaining plant life.
In the lecture, Ye demonstrated experiments related to cell growth in a weightless environment. He compared the growth and shape of cells in artificial gravity and zero-gravity to study their changing principles in space.
Another experiment in the space lecture was shown by Wang Yaping. She illustrated how a paper flower “bloomed” on the surface of water in Tiangong space station. She explained that the surface tension of water is magnified (放大) in space due to zero gravity.
One of the examples of surface tension on Earth is that some insects can “walk” on water. They use surface tension to “stand” instead of falling through water.
Surface tension plays a key role in product development. Researchers around the world are measuring surface tension to improve the quality of their products, according to Biolin Scientific, a science company. Paints are tailored to stick better on the surfaces they are applied to. Surface tension also has impacts in drug development.
Although the astronauts are thousands of miles away, their research does influence our life. Shi Yi, a teacher at the Beijing No. 101 Middle School, told China Daily that the space lecture was “an eye-opening experience that would arouse students’ interest in science”.
32. What makes the space laboratory special?
A. It is operated by a professor.
B. It has a unique experiment environment.
C. It broadcasts experiments to students.
D. It promotes cell growth.
33. What can we learn through Ye’s cell experiment in space?
A. The rules of cell growth. B. The secret in a weightless environment.
C. The conditions of cell growth. D. The differences between the universe and the earth.
34. What can we say about surface tension?
A. It can speed up flower blooming. B. It is related to product quality.
C. Paints have an influence on it. D. Drugs are used to measure it.
35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Special Laboratory Environments B. Examples of Surface Tension
C. Learning from Space D. Lectures about Cells

Dear Liu Fang,
Today the weather was wonderful, so I went out to the local park with some friends to fly kites. It seemed that half the city joined in us, so we had trouble find a good place to stand. But I felt so relaxing when we were done.
Over lunch, I was told that kites were invented by a man naming Mozi, who was something of a philosopher and worked hardly to bring peace between warring countries. He also created many clever inventions from wood. I think it is so wonderful that Mozi could invent something would bring relaxation and happiness to such many people. I never thought to yourself that something like kites needed a inventor.

M: It can help them make new friends and learn life skills. (12)Teachers and coaches help campers learn and enhance social, athletic and cultural skills every minute of every day. The pools, fields and courts provide the perfect space for campers to participate in over 50 developmentally appropriate, fun-filled activities.
W: That sounds not bad. Who can go to the camp?
M: Children aged from 3 to 14. What about letting Jason go to it this summer? I don’t want him to stay indoors every day.
W: OK. Let’s talk about it with him after he comes back from school today.
Text 9 人物访谈——与老虎的不解之缘
W: Welcome to join us today, Mr. Shole. Your story with a female tiger has become famous on social media. Could you tell us something about it, please?
M: OK. (14)The tiger was just three months old then when I met it for the first time. Its owner asked me to watch over it. Since then the tiger and I have become inseparable.
W: Sounds interesting. Do you often play with the tiger?
M: Yes. It’s not aggressive or angry at all, however, heavy steel bars are installed for it. It sleeps in an enclosure at night and sometimes I spend my nights there with it, sleeping right next to it.
W: Is the tiger big?
M: Yes. (15)The average weight of the common females of this species is 140 kilograms, but it is 40 kilograms overweight.
W: That’s quite a lot, even for tigers. How long is it?
M: Three meters, and its height is one meter.
W: So how often does it eat?
M: (16)It eats twice a day. The menu includes about 6 kilograms of meat of different varieties each meal.
W: Well, such a striking friendship between a young guy and a fairly young animal is really fantastic. (17)Thank you again for sharing your story with us tonight, Mr.Shole. And that’s all for today’s show.
Text 10 亚洲首位登顶珠峰的盲人
W: Good evening, everyone. In tonight’s program, let’s get to know an inspiring blind Chinese man named Zhang Hong. He has climbed onto the tallest peak in the world from the Nepal side. He became the first blind man in Asia and the third in the world to climb Mount Qomolangma. (18)The man completed the 8,849 meter-high Himalayan feat on May 24, 2021 along with three high altitude guides. And then he returned to the base camp three days later. Zhang was born in southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing. He lost his sight at the age of 21 due to some kind of disease. (19)He was inspired by Erik Weihenmayer, a blind American mountaineer who climbed onto the tallest peak of Qomolangma in 2001. Zhang began training under the guidance of a mountain guide friend. He was still very scared while climbing. Because he couldn’t see where he was walking, and he couldn’t find his center of gravity, so sometimes he could fall. Zhang said, “I kept thinking even though it was hard, I had to face those difficulties and dangers. This is the meaning of climbing. No matter if you’re disabled or normal, whether you have lost your eyesight or you have no legs or hands, it doesn’t matter as long as you have a strong mind. You can always complete a thing that other people say you can’t.”
