Esports（electronic sports）are organized competitions where players—often referred to as “athletes”—face off
against each other in video games. They are not just games in a sense. Actually, they are a sport that can improve the
players’ thinking ability, hand-eye coordination, willpower and team spirit.
The esports industry has experienced significant growth in recent years around the world, though it’s still in the
nascent stage, which means it has huge growth potential going forward.
In the 1990s, Games like the beat’em up Street Fighter II and the first-person shooter Doom added variety to the
increasingly popular competitive gaming scene. In the 2010s, MOBA games like League of Legends and Dota 2
became mainstream in the world of esports. In 2022, esports were announced to be officially included in the Asian
Games. There are now over 40 esports games with players competing around the world at huge events.
Esports made their first appearance as a medal event at the Asian Games from Sept 23 to Oct 8, 2023. Seven
games were included: FIFA Online 4, PUBG Mobile Asian Games Version, Arena of Valor Asian Games Version,
Dota 2, League of Legends, Dream Three Kingdoms 2, Street and Fighter V.
Previously, eight esports games were scheduled at the Hangzhou Asian Games. However, virtual card game
Hearthstone（《炉石传说》）was removed in March. This followed the breakdown of negotiations between
Hearthstone producer, Blizzard Entertainment, and NetEase, their local partner company in China, over their rights
partnership.
21. What is the current state of esports?
A. They face tough challenges. B. They come ahead of other sports.
C. They have great future prospect. D. They are no more than video games.
22. When was League of Legends included in the Asian Games?
A. In the 1990s. B. In the 2010s. C. In 2022. D. In 2023.
23. Why was Hearthstone ruled out of the Asian Games?
A. Its version was outdated. B. Its schedule was up in the air.
C. Its gaming scenes were full of violence. D. Its two parties failed to reach an agreement.

I fell in love with rhinos when I worked in a zoo in the 80s, and spent much of the next 20 years as the keeper of
the largest captive（圈养的）group of rare black rhinos.
There’s a popular misconception that rhinos are aggressive and stupid, but I found them sensitive and
affectionate animals. Weighing over a ton, black rhinos are unexpectedly agile（敏捷的）and have an unpredictable
nature —but, given reassurance, they tend to believe people. In the past few decades, their numbers have dropped
dramatically. In recent years, I’ve helped look after rhinos being moved to the reserve so they can form new
populations in countries that have few left. Last year, I helped on a project to fly five black rhinos from a private
reserve in South Africa to the Serengeti National Park. Once there, the animals had to be kept captive for a few weeks
to adapt to the new environment, in which time they lived in “bomas”—wooden enclosures with “bedrooms”,
designed to create a calm space.
A couple of weeks before their planned release, the sky filled with smoke. Watching the flames rushing through
the bush toward the bomas, I froze. Terrified that it would catch fire, my instinct was to release the rhinos, but they
hadn’t yet been fitted with transmitters（发信器）. If I let them out into a bushfire and they were injured, we’d have
great difficulty tracking them down. So I dashed back to the bomas and called the rhinos to the bedrooms. Sensing the
fear in my voices, they moved without hesitation and remained astonishingly calm. It was crucial the rhinos didn’t
panic —they can easily hurt each other if they do.
That we and the rhinos had escaped safe and sound was a miracle. The teamwork of everybody there played a
large part, and the rhinos were very much a part of that team. The relationships we’d built with them had proved
crucial —had they or we panicked, all our work would have been in vain.
24. What does the author think of the rhinos?
A. They are trusting animals. B. They are highly organized.
C. Their habitats are under threat. D. Their adaptability needs improving.
25. Why were bomas set up?
A. To assist rhinos to settle in. B. To boost tourism in the reserve.
C. To avoid rhinos’ aggressive behavior. D. To stop rhinos from fleeing.
26. How did the author rescue the rhinos?
A. By setting them free. B. By tracking them down.
C. By driving them into bomas. D. By fitting them with the transmitters.
27. What contributed most to the safety of the rhinos?
A. The keepers’ timely alarm. B. The inborn nature of rhinos.
C. The faith in the keepers’ heart. D. The teamwork between the keepers and the rhinos.
C
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said that you can’t step into the same river twice, for you aren’t the same
person at each visit and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to show the reality that everything is always
changing. Yet so many people have unpleasant relationships with change. We resist it or attempt to control it, the
result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety, and burnout. It doesn’t have to be that way.
No doubt, change can, and often does, hurt; but with the right mindset, it can also be a force for growth. A
concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by neuroscientist Peter Sterling and biologist Joseph
Eyer, allostasis is based on the idea that rather than being rigid, our healthy baseline is a moving target. Allostasis is
defined as “stability through change”—the way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing.
From neuroscience to pain science and psychology, allostasis has become the dominant model for understanding
change in the scientific community. The brain is at its best when it is constantly rewiring itself and making new
connections. Overcoming pain is not about resistance or trying to get back to where you were but about balancing
acceptance with problem-solving and moving forward to normal.
The time to start practicing is now. Over the past few years, the river of change has been flowing, and it shows
no signs of letting up. Our ability to work with these changes is directly related to our life satisfaction. Given all this,
simply creating a stable expectancy around change goes a long way. So does realizing that the allostasis mindset
doesn’t ask us to do nothing. Rather, it asks us to partake in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to
let go of what we can’t. When I catch myself resisting change, in my head I say the following: “This is what is
happening right now. I’m doing the best that I can. What, if any, skillful actions can I take?” Do this repeatedly and
finally you start to get better at it.
To thrive in our lifetime — and not just survive —we need to transform our relationship with change, leaving
behind rigidity and resistance. We are always shaping and being shaped by change, often at the very same time.
28. What’s the common practice toward change?
A. To welcome it. B. To reject it.
C. To overlook it. D. To adapt to it.
29. Which of the following can best interpret “allostasis”?
A. One size fits all. B. Time works great changes.
C. Respond to change by changing. D. It’s never too late to change.
30. What does the underlined phrase “letting up” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Stopping. B. Dashing down.
C. Going up. D. Widening.
31. What might the author agree with?
A. Repetition makes up for rigidity. B. It matters to focus on what we can’t.
C. Changes promote life satisfaction. D. It makes sense to embrace changes.
D
There’s a song in your head. You keep hearing it repeatedly. You can’t make it stop, and it’s driving you crazy!
Has this happened to you? Maybe you have suffered from an earworm, which is a memory of a song.
Earworms are common. A study showed that90 percent of people experience them. Why do we get earworms?
According to neurologist Oliver Sacks, music affects us whether we pay attention to it or not. We’re surrounded by
music all the time in our everyday lives. Sacks wonders if there is a higher incidence of earworms today because of all
this music in our environment.
Research on the primary auditory cortex（听觉皮层）supports Sack’s ideas. The auditory cortex is the part of
the brain that processes sound. It’s a short-term storage system for small amounts of auditory information. Some of
this auditory information is forgotten, and some of it goes into long-term memory. However, songs appear to stay in
the auditory cortex for a long time.
James Kellaris, a professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati, thinks that only certain types of songs
become earworms. These songs are repetitive, simple, and incongruous—something unexpected such as uneven
rhythm. Your brain pays a lot of attention to a song like this, Kellaris says. Because it is repetitive and unusual, it
stays longer in the auditory cortex. At that point, Kellaris believes, it becomes an annoying earworm.
Advertisers often use jingles—short songs that are easy to remember to promote sales. Advertisers want jingles
to stick in people’s minds to keep them thinking about their products. It seems that advertisers have learned what
Kellaris has found out in his research.
Is there any way to get rid of an earworm? Here are some tips Kellaris collected: replace the earworm song with
another song, try to distract yourself by doing an intense activity such as exercising, or tell someone about your
earworm. What if none of these strategies work? Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the music in
your head!
32. How does the author lead to the topic?
A. By giving a definition. B. By describing a phenomenon.
C. By drawing a conclusion. D. By clarifying a question.
33. What does the author want to explain by mentioning “auditory cortex”?
A. The mechanism of earworms. B. The lasting effect of memory.
C. The necessity of the research. D. The significance of music.
34. In which paragraph does the author explain the features of the earworm music?
A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3.
C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Earworms —the Songs in Your Head B. Jingles—the Typical Earworms
C. How Do Earworms Change Our Life? D. How Do We Live with Earworms?

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Don’t forget to study for the European history test on Friday,” Mrs. Beville announced to her students before the
class was over.
Julie shut her book and sighed to herself: “Why couldn’t the test be on poetry?” Julie loved poetry and its
rhythmic expression of feelings and ideas. Yes, poetry she could understand. But history? “What if I fail? I’ve never
been good at memorizing anything for a test,” she thought.
That night, Julie sorted out her notes. She flipped open her textbook to the end of the first chapter, where she
found a list of practice questions for the test. “Need some help?” asked her older brother, Joey, who poked his head
into her bedroom to see what she was doing. Julie handed him her textbook and said: “Quiz me.” Joey took the book
and read the first question. “In what year did England defeat the Spanish Armada?” Julie frowned and pursed her lips.
Her left eye ticced（抽筋）.“Dates are the worst! Ask another one.”
Joey’s eyes traveled to the bottom of the page. “Who took the throne following the death of Queen Mary I?”
“Oh! It’s on the tip of my tongue. It’s —it’s—I don’t know!” Julie shook her head. “Looks like you didn’t study,”
Joey said. Julie grabbed her book back and glared at Joey. What did he know about her study habits? She could read a
chapter a thousand times, but no matter what, getting her brain to hold on to information was like getting a rock to
absorb sand.
The following day, she decided to use library time to study. She found a table in a quiet corner. With her
textbook open in front of her, she tried to make sense of all the facts and dates. But it was useless. She dropped her
head to the book and buried her face in the pages. “Impossible!”
“Psst, Julie!” Julie heard someone calling her and looked up. Maria from her class was seated at a nearby table.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150 个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Want to study together?” Maria asked, nodding to an empty chair.
On the day of the test, Julie and Maria both felt nervous.
