Chinese animatins(动画) are bming
The "Black Cat Delective", released 40 years ag, was a childhd favrite fr many Chinese. Since then, Chinese cartns have cme a lng way. While "Black Cat Detective" was simply drawn, current cartns feature 31 advances and fascinating plts. One example is "Bnie Bears: Time Twist", a family-friendly adventure released in February, with smth animatin reminding us f Pixar, a 32 animatin studi nw wned by Disney.
These recent 33 in quality have enabled Chinese cartns t succeed at the dmestic bx ffice. "Ne Zha: Birth f the Demn Child" was the mst well-received film in China in 2019, 34 beating ut "Avengers: Endgame ", a superher mvie by Marvel Studis.
In the 1960s, China's animatin industry saw a big dwnturn as American and Japanese films 35 int the Chinese market, dminating bth dmestic televisin and cinema screens. As a result, Chinese animatrs 36 began t wrk fr western studis. Hwever, things changed in 2015 with the release f "Mnkey King: Her is Back", a breakthrugh fr Chinese animatin. This film, based n the timeless 37 "Jurney t the Wes/", signaled a new era f creativity and success in the industry. The main character, the Mnkey King, is depicted(刻画) as ging thrugh a mid-life crisis, which 38 the directr's view that cartns are nt just fr children.
Light Chaser Animatin, a Beijing-based studi, has cntributed t the ppularity f cartns in China. Its prductin "30,000 Miles frm Chang' an" 39 elements f Chinese culture, histry, and legends with aesthetic(美学的) feeling f Tang dynasty petry. Indeed, traditinal themes are widespread amng successful Chinese animatins, 40 the imprtance f traditinal culture as a fundatin fr Chinese animatin. Like ther industries, cartns in China are inspired by Western innvatins but with added "Chinese characteristics".
III. Reading Cmprchensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
In a bustling city in Arizna std a high schl where mst f the students live in pverty. Amng them were fur sns f Mexican immigrants, Juan, Oscar, Luis, and Alfred.

Tw science teachers there decided t enter their high schl int a cmplicated 43 rbtics cmpetitin spnsred by the NASA and the Naval Research. Excited fr the news, these fur bys signed up fr the cmpetitin.
With enthusiasm and energy, they started calling mechanical engineers fr design help.

With the teachers' guidance and encuragement, they 47 tgether a rbt with n mre than metal and wires.
As they wrked n their rbt, the bys als faced persnal challenges. Juan struggled with the weight f family respnsibilities; Oscar 48 a deep-seated fear f failure; Luis's heart ached frm the cnstant peers' mckery(嘲笑) fr his 49 accent, and Alfred lnged fr acceptance and belnging. 50 these bstacles, they persevered, leaning n each ther fr supprt and inspiratin.
After a few test runs f their rbt, they piled int a secnd-hand van t head t the cmpetitin. Upn entering the main pl area, they nticed the cllege teams wearing matching utfits, with rbts spnsred by big cmpanies. Feeling a bit nervus, the bys put the rbt in the water fr a test run. 51 , the PVC didn't hld up, causing the rbt t leak and sink.
Hwever, instead f letting this 52 ruin their spirits, the bys put their heads tgether and came up with a brilliant slutin. 12 hurs later, armed with 8 super-absrbent pads t plug the leak, the rbt was 53 int the pl again. This time, their rbt perfrmed admirably. Gliding gracefully thrugh the waters, it navigated the curse with precisin and speed, 54 the judges and audience alike. This underwater rbt, a symbl f their determinatin and 55 , cnquered the waters, defeated engineering pwerhuse MIT and ranked first in the cuntry. This was nt just a win fr thse fur but a victry fr every underdg with a dream.

(A)
Amng my ldest friends, I'm knwn as the mysterius ne, the guy wh rarely shws up, is always there nt here. I had high schl buddies, and I lved them all dearly thugh we bys didn't say such things back then. Then life happened. Mst f us left ur hmetwn. Meet-ups becme rare ccasins.
One f thse ld friends, whm I had nt seen since ur high schl graduatin, reached ut recently t say he'd be near where I am, and hped we culd meet up. He'd dne the same thing abut 10 years ag, and I'd begged ff fr sme stupid reasn related t my shyness, r rather, my intrverted nature. I'm lder and a bit wiser nw, and I've been packing arund sme guilt ver that missed pprtunity fr 10 years, s I agreed readily.
We met fr dinner, perhaps tw hurs, and rarely had I felt at case with ther humans as I did with him. We talked and talked. Abut wh we were then. Wh we are nw. And what made us the jerks( 混蛋) we were then. We acknwledged that if nt fr each ther, and the circles f gd peple we ran with back then, the gd friends wh kept us reasnably n track and in check, life culd have easily gne suth fr either f us. Each f us recalled things the ther had n memry f. Fragments f memries, scattered yet precius. We knw we were tight then, and we value that friendship and shared experience still tday.
Peple are fundamentally scial beings and enjy cnnecting with thers. Maintaining scial cnnectins is gd fr ur mental and physical health. Hwever, despite the imprtance and enjyment f scial cnnectin, peple significantly underestimate hw much thers will appreciate being reached ut t.
There's smething abut the friends yu make in yuth that's near impssible t recreate with friends yu make later in life. I'm telling yu this t remind yu that yur ld friends wuld lve t hear frm yu, maybe a simple text, a little hell, maybe even a phne call r a meetup.

With its bright clrs, easy-t-learn rules and familiar music, the vide game Tetris has endured as a pp culture symbl ver the past 40 years. Many peple, like me, have been playing the game fr decades, and it has been updated t adapt t new technlgies like game systems, phnes and tablets.
Hwever, Tetris is much mre than winning. The game, in which players must cntrl blcks f different shapes as they slide dwn a screen, is based n a fundamental element f gemetry, called dynamic spatial reasning(动态空间推理). It is taught by mathematics educatrs and used by architects, engineers, animatrs, and many thers. Players emply these gemetric skills t prgress in Tetris, s playing it bth tests and imprves a player's dynamic spatial reasning.
Spatial reasning is the ability t visualize gemetric figures and hw they will mve in space. S, dynamic spatial reasning is the ability t visualize actively mving figures. The Tetris player must quickly decide where the falling game piece will best fit and then mve it there. This mvement invlves bth translatin — mving a shape right and left, and rtatin —turning its shape by 90 degrees at a time.
Spatial visualizatin is a key element f a mathematics discipline called transfrmatin al gemetry, which is usually first taught in middle schl. In a typical transfrmatinal gemetry exercise, students might be asked t represent a figure by its x and y crdinates(坐标) n a crdinate graph and then identify the transfrmatins, such as translatin and rtatins, necessary t mve it frm ne psitin t anther while keeping the piece the same shape and size.
While it may seem simple, transfrmatin al gemetry is the fundatin fr several advanced tpics in mathematics. Architects and engineers bth use transfrmatins t draw up blueprints, which represent the real wrld in scale drawings. Animatrs use cncepts f transfrmatins as well. While animatrs tday use cmputer prgrams that autmatically mve figures arund, they are all based n this kind f transfrmatin.
63. Which is NOT a key reasn fr Tetris's lasting ppularity?
A. Its pleasure f winning the game. B. Its bright clrs and catchy music.
C. Its link t cmplex math and gemetry. D. Its simple rules and tech adaptability.
64. Accrding t the passage, what fundamental skill dcs playing Tetris help imprve?
A. Lgical reasning. B. Mathematical calculatin.
C. Memry maintaining. D. Spatial visualizatin.
65. Mve the sample blck n the right using bth translatin and rtatin. Which image belw can we get?
A.(a) B.(b) C.(c) D.(d)
66. Which f the fllwing statements des the authr mst prbably agree with?
A. Tetris is a particularly useful tl fr animatin and architecture designs.
B. Spatial visualizatin is based n the cnstant change f a figure's psitin.
C. Transfrmatin al gemetry behind Tetris can be applied t varius fields.
D. Spatial reasning is t difficult fr middle schl students t master.

Rain Cllectin
What d yu like t d n a rainy day —si t inside and listen t the pitter-patter n the rf r splash utside and feel the cld drps n yur face? Whatever yu chse, rain is vitally essential in the nature.
67 It fills rivers and lakes, slwly sinks int the earth, nurishes ur plants, and keeps the land alive and beautiful. In the past, peple btained their water frm rain, wells, r nearby rivers. Nw, many f us live in places where water is piped in, smetimes frm far away. Remving s much water frm nature and sending it t great distances harm the living things that als need that water.
As climate change heats up the planet and causes extreme weather, mre places face water shrtages. 68 . One easy place t lk fr mre water is the sky!
Humans have cllected rain since ancient times. 69 . They are tapping int this clean and rich surce f water prvided by nature. By harvesting the rain we can reduce the amunt f water we take frm rivers and ut f the grund.
Even in dry climates, there is a lt f ptential rainwater that can be effectively harvested and utilized. This rich yet ften verlked resurce has the ptential t significantly cntribute t water cnservatin effrts, especially in regins facing water shrtages. Just ne inch f rain falling n a medium-sized huse prduces ver 600 gallns f water. 70 .
Nwadays, rainwater is still used as a primary supply in many places in the wrld, like Vietnam and Hawaii. In places with piped-in water, rainwater is nt cmmnly used, but this is changing. Rainwater harvesting is getting mre ppular since it's easy t d and helps create water security.

Cmplaining: The Happiness Killer
In 15th-century Germany, there was an expressin: Greiner, Zanner, which can be translated as "a chrnic(长期的) cmplainer." Are yu a bit f a Greiner, Zanner? If s, yu're nt alne. Survey data shw that custmers tday are mre than twice as likely t cmplain abut a prduct r service as they were in 1976. A U. K.-based survey als bserved a rise in jb dissatisfactin ver a tw-year perid befre autumn 2022.
Cmplaints can be gruped int different categries. As is reprted, 45 percent f cmplaints cncern the behavir f thers. Fr instance, parents repeatedly criticize their children fr small issues like messy bedrms r dirty clthes. Anther 29 percent fcus n persnal discmfrt. A cmmn cmplaint in this categry might be abut feeling t ht in a rm withut air cnditiner. The remaining 26 percent invlve unpleasant bligatins like unnecessary wrk meetings peple are frced t attend.
The prblem with all f these cmplaints is that it can feel helpful—but it typically isn't . Althugh cmplaining might ffer temprary relief, it's bad fr yur happiness in the lng run. Researchers wh measured peple's md befre and after they cmplained fund that thse cmplainers' md was significantly wrsening. Besides, cmplaining can als lwer the happiness f the peple arund yu. In sme relatinships, the negative effect can pass like a virus t thse expsed. In ther wrds, when peple see thers' cmplaints expressing anger, disgust and sadness, they can, in turn, feel similar emtins.
As the 20th-century Bulgarian philspher Archimandrite Seraphim Aleksiev bserved, "Cmplaining is like the winter frst which, when it falls, destrys all the labrs f the gardeners."
