When Aaron Friedland was entering a master's program in economics at the University of
British Columbia, he decided to research whether the distance to school is a major factor
leading to higher school dropout rates. So he spent two months living in a rural community in
Uganda, regularly trekking(长途跋涉) with a group of kids who walked five miles each day
round trip for their education. He deeply felt the hardships of this journey to school.
The experience resulted in more than that planned research paper. He founded a nonprofit
The Walking School Bus, dedicated to improving access to education, and he started a
crowdfunding campaign to publish this children's book he wrote with the same title.
Set in South Africa, his story follows siblings Shaka and Nandi. Their father works far
away and their mother's work keeps her in their village. So the kids have no one to walk them
to school. The trip is long and dangerous for just two kids. They find inspiration from a toy
school bus in the sand. They finally succeed when they realize they can find safety in numbers
with other kids and form a walking school bus.
Over the past few years, the nonprofit took off. The book, however, never made it into
print until this year. That original text was an unwieldy 128 pages when Friedland brought it to
the publisher Greystone Books. They said, 'It's a great idea, but no,' explains Friedland, who
needed to figure out how to rewrite it in a more accessible format. A solution emerged when he
connected with Ndileka Mandela. The story resonated with her, and they joined forces on a
new version.
I wondered what kids who have an easy commute to school would think of this book. I
asked my 8-year-old American daughter — who only needs to walk 10 minutes to her
elementary school — to read it. Her reaction: Kids can be very imaginative and creative, and
sometimes you just need more people to be able to get where you want to go. Those kids were
really willing to go out of their way to get some education.
24. What did Friedland want to figure out initially?
A. How the distance to school impacted attendance rates.
B. How the students in rural community attended school.
C. How the school responded to increasing dropout rate.
D. How the program helped to improve access to education.
25. Which of the following best describe Friedland?
A. Suspicious and honest. B. Curious and devoted.
C. Brave and sympathetic. D. Caring and determined.

26. What does the underlined word “resonated”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Boost confidence. B. Arouse sympathy.
C. Break new ground. D. Earn reputation.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To raise the awareness of education.
B. To introduce a children’s book.
C. To encourage kids to walk together.
D. To share an unforgettable experience.

The groundbreaking Shaoxing Opera adaptation, New Dragon Gate Inn, captures the
interest of a new generation and brings the ancient art form for contemporary lifestyles back to
life.
Unlike the traditional framed stage, the theater is designed as an inn, with the audience
becoming guests. They sit close to the performers, engaging with them, and immersing
themselves in a unique and fascinating viewing experience. This places new demands on our
performers, said Xu Yena, who acts in the show as the A cast of Jin Xiangyu, the landlady of
the inn. We need to abandon many of the stylized movements from traditional Shaoxing
Opera and learn from drama and film performances, adopting a more natural, authentic, and
subtle acting style.
Upon leaving the theater, these audience members feel a sense of satisfaction that prompts
them to willingly share short clips of the performance online. The fragmented(零碎的) content
of performance has generated many streams and clicks, leading to high demand for show
tickets, especially among young audiences. Now, the ticket competition has become fierce and
only those with fast internet access can get them, said Chen Lijun, who plays the important
supporting role of Jia Ting.
As both Xiaobaihua (a Shaoxing Opera troupe(剧团)) and Japan's renowned Takarazuka
Revue are all-female troupes, some internet users have drawn parallels between the two,
likening Chen to China's Amami Yuki, a former acclaimed male-role actress in the Japanese
troupe.
In response, Chen said, All good performances are worth learning from. Our two troupes
share many similarities, but there are also fundamental differences, rooted in the cultural
heritage of our respective theatrical traditions.
A report by Xinhua News Agency states that Generation Z makes up 74 percent of
consumers of guochao goods or China-chic goods last year. As a cultural product, New Dragon
Gate Inn has successfully won the hearts of the young generation due to the contemporary
nature of the show.
Shaoxing Opera once borrowed and learned from Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera. Today,
we draw inspiration from a broader range of artistic forms and expression techniques,” Xu said,
“New Dragon Gate Inn has successfully drawn many nontraditional theatergoers, particularly
5
{#{QQABYYIUogCIABJAABhCQQU6CkIQkACCAAoGwBAMoAABARNABAA=}#}
young people. Seeking novelty has always been what Shaoxing Opera has been doing.
28.Who became a new challenge for the performers while they were acting in Shaoxing Opera?
A. The internet users making comparison online.
B. The other troupe performing more natural and authentic.
C. The audience positioned right next to the performers.
D. The guests immersing themselves on the central stage.
29. How did Chen respond to her nickname “China’s Amami Yuki”?
A. By joyfully accepting it. B. By objectively clarifying it.
C. By politely denying it. D. By respectfully using it.
30. According to Xu Yena, Shaoxing Opera has made a positive step in regaining its popularity,
mainly depending on__________ .
A. Adaptation and advertisement. B. Specially designed theater.
C. Actresses’ popularity online. D. Integration and innovation.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Generation Z Dominates The Market of Guocao.
B. New Dragon Gate Inn Returns to Live Stage.
C. Shaoxing Opera's Modern Twist Wows Youth.
D. Nontraditional Theatergoers Flood into Theater.
D
Researchers at the University of Washington created a new web app, Self-Talk with
Superhero Zip, aimed to help children develop skills like self-awareness and emotional
management.
At first, some parents were wary: In a world of Siri and Alexa, they are skeptical that the
makers of such technologies are putting children’s welfare first.
In Self-Talk with Superhero Zip, a chatbot guided pairs of siblings through lessons. The
UW team found that, after speaking with the app for a week, most children could explain the
concept of supportive self-talk and apply it in their daily lives. And kids who’d engaged in
negative self-talk before the study were able to turn that habit positive.
The UW team published its findings in June at the 2023 Interaction Design and Children
conference. The app is still a prototype(雏形) and is not yet publicly available. Previous studies
have shown children can learn various tasks and abilities from chatbots. Yet little research
explores how chatbots can help kids effectively acquire socioemotional skills.
“There is room to design child-centric experiences with a chatbot that provide fun and
educational practice opportunities,” said senior author Alexis Hiniker, an associate professor in
the UW Information School. “Over the last few decades, television programs like ‘Sesame
Street,’ ‘Mister Rogers,’ and ‘Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood’ have shown that it is possible for
TV to help kids cultivate socioemotional skills. We asked: Can we make a space where kids
can practice these skills in an interactive app? We wanted to create something useful and fun
— a ‘Sesame Street’ experience for a smart speaker.”
6
{#{QQABYYIUogCIABJAABhCQQU6CkIQkACCAAoGwBAMoAABARNABAA=}#}
The length of these effects isn’t clear, researchers note. The study spanned just one week
and the tendency for survey participants to respond in ways that make them look good could
lead kids to speak positively about the app’s effects.
“Our goal is to make the app accessible to a wider audience in the future,” said lead
author Chris (Yue) Fu, a UW doctoral student in the iSchool. “We’re exploring the integration
of large language models — the systems that power tech like ChatGPT — into our prototype
and we plan to work with content creators to adapt existing socioemotional learning materials
into our system. The hope is that these will facilitate more prolonged and effective
interventions.”
32. What can we learn about Self-Talk?
A. It encouraged kids to engage in positive talking.
B. It could help kids explain complicated concepts.
C. It could be already downloaded from UW’s website.
D. It was welcomed by parents like Siri and Alexa.
33. “Sesame Street” is mentioned in this passage to show _________ of Self-Talk.
A. The primary function. B. The promising prospect.
C. The new-found popularity. D. The historical background.
34. Which may the follow-up research include?
A. Larger amounts of kinds of languages.
B. More characters with different background.
C. New technology adopted like ChatGPT.
D. Longer studies in more natural settings.
35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the Self-Talk will _________.
A. Adapt socioemotional material and reform the education system.
B. Explore powerful technology and improve its effectiveness.
C. Promote socioemotional learning and provide ongoing support.
D. Combine large language models and lengthen its service time.

Your car isn’t just essential for keeping yourself safe as the colder months draw closer.
_____36____Here’s our top tips to help you prepare your car for the cold winter months ahead.
Check your car’s battery
The last thing you want is to be stuck on a country road or a motorway in minus
temperatures with a dead battery. ____37____, it’s worth getting your battery checked or
getting it replaced sooner rather than later.
Don’t forget de-icing spray
_____38____? You can either sit there with engine running for ten minutes (and make
yourself late for work) or clean your windows with de-icing spray and leave in seconds. Never
7
{#{QQABYYIUogCIABJAABhCQQU6CkIQkACCAAoGwBAMoAABARNABAA=}#}
pour boiling water over your car’s windows when they’re covered with ice. Just use de-icing
spray instead.
Invest in winter tyres
If you’ve got a long distance to work and back every day, or are planning a long drive
over Christmas to catch up with friends and family, then it might be worth considering buying
some winter-ready tyres.
Check your car’s wipers
Your car’s windscreen wipers are vital during the winter months. If your wipers are split
or damaged, they won’t clear rain away properly and will block your visibility, especially if
you’re caught in heavy rain or snow. _____39_____.
_____40____
If you’re choosing not to get a new pair of winter tyres for your car, then you should
always look at your current tyres to make sure they’re adequately inflated (充气) to the right
level. Tyres tend to deflate in colder conditions and this will reduce the control you have over
your car when driving, so check your car’s tyres regularly (ideally at least once a month) over
the winter months.
Our tips will significantly reduce the chances of you running into trouble on the road this
winter.
A. Inspect your tyre pressure
B. Choose proper tyres for your car
C. If you break down for whatever reason
D. Car windows thick with ice in the morning
E. If your car is taking a long time to start when you turn the key
F. This could potentially result in a crash and put you and other road users in danger, so make
sure to check these too
G. Taking the right steps to ensure your car is ready for winter can also save you a sum of
money in case anything goes wrong
