Cui Chenxi competes in the final of the women’s street skateboarding event during the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Wednesday.
The teenager, who is the Chinese national team’s youngest athlete, won gold by scoring 242. 62 points. Until Wednesday, the title of China’s youngest Asian Games gold medalist belonged to 15-year-old skateboarder Chen Ye. Nevertheless, the youngest participant at the Games is Mazel Paris Alegado, a 9-year-old Filipino skateboarder.
Asked if she was nervous before the competition, Cui shook her head and said: “My dad told me to stay relaxed, enjoy the competition and showcase my skills. As long as I give it my all, I have no regrets.”
Skateboarding, which is rooted in street culture, is a sport that emphasizes freedom and personal techniques. Cui only took up skateboarding in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow her to practice rollerblading (滚轴溜冰), which she began as a 3-year-old. Her father suggested that she try skateboarding at home instead. “I remember the day I stepped onto the board for the first time. It felt incredibly smooth. It was love at first sight,” Cui said.
Two years later, she ranked third in the women’s street event at the Shandong provincial games. She soon joined the provincial skateboarding team and underwent a more comprehensive (全面的) and structured training program.
In skateboarding, injuries are unavoidable, but when discussing the pain and the setbacks, Cui displayed a level of resilience beyond her age. “When I started skateboarding, I thought it was great fun. Later, I realized people suffer a lot of injuries while skateboarding. But that is where the spirit of skateboarding lies,” she said. Most of the time, getting injured is just part of the process, and she simply pushes through it and never gives up, she added.
Cui is “the future of Team China”, according to Zeng Wenhui, the silver medalist. “I think she is quite excellent. We will stand together in moving forward in the future,” she said.
24. Who is the youngest athlete taking part in the Asian Games
A. Chen Ye. B. Cui Chenxi.
C. Mazel Paris Alegado. D. Zeng Wenhui.
25. What can we infer from the passage
A. Cui’s father has a positive effect on her.
B. Cui’s fellow athletes don’t get along well with her.
C. Cui spent a hard time from rollerblading to skateboarding.
D. Cui received a comprehensive training program during the pandemic.
26. What’s the spirit of skateboarding according to Cui
A. Life is movement. B. No cross, no crown.
C. Never too old to learn. D. Freedom is a part of the essence of life.
27. What does the underlined word “resilience” refer to in paragraph 6
A. Calmness. B. Resistance.
C. The ability to adapt. D. A state of feeling depressed.
C
Ann has been severely paralysed (瘫痪) for more than 18 years. She cannot speak and normally communicates. But now, she has been able to speak through an image on the computer using technology that translated her brain signals into speech and facial expressions.
The advance raises hopes that the technology could be on the edge of transforming the lives of people who have lost the ability to speak due to conditions like strokes (中风).
The latest technology uses tiny electrodes (电极) put on the top layer of the brain to detect electrical activity in the part of the brain that controls speech and face movements. These signals are translated directly into a digital avatar’s (化身) speech and facial expressions including smiling, frowning or surprise.
The team put 253 paper-thin electrodes on the top layer of Ann’s brain over an area important to speech. Afterwards Ann worked with the team to train the system to detect her unique brain signals for various speech sounds by repeating different phrases repeatedly. The computer learned 39 distinctive sounds and a Chat GPT-style language system was used to translate the signals into understandable sentences. This was then used to control an avatar with a voice personalised to sound like Ann’s voice before the injury, based on a recording of her speaking at her wedding.
The technology was not perfect, translating words incorrectly 28% of the time in a test run involving more than 500 phrases, and it generated brain-to-text at a rate of 78 words a minute, compared with the 110-150 words typically spoken in natural conversation. However, scientists said the latest advances in accuracy and speed suggest the technology is now at a point of being practically useful for patients. A crucial next step is to create a wireless form that could be put beneath the skull (颅骨).
28. How can Ann speak
A. By tiny electrodes on her brain.
B. Through an avatar using the latest technology.
C. Through repeating different phrases repeatedly.
D. By a technology that detects her brain signals.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How the technology works.
B. How the technology benefits the patients.
C. How the technology translates the brain signal.
D. How the technology is put into wide application.
30. Which is unnecessary to make the avatar sound like Ann
A. Ann’s cooperation. B. Ann’s facial expressions.
C. An AI language system. D. A recording of Ann’s speaking.
31. What do we know about the technology according to the last paragraph
A. It is a promising way to help patients.
B. Its translating speed is too slow.
C. It cannot be applied to patients.
D. It is not accurate in translating at all.
D
Fed up with tourists who only come in to check out the scenery, the owners of Queviures Murria, a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain, have put up a sign announcing a 5 euro fee for coming in just to look.
Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching locations in all of Barcelona. The vintage (老式的) look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract hundreds of tourists every day, but the problem is that many of them aren’t actually interested in the products sold inside—all kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages, cold cuts, cured cheeses, oils, wines, etc. According to the store, many tourists enter the store without even saying a simple “hello”, wander around taking pictures, and then simply leave without buying anything. So it decided to charge people for “just looking” just to discourage them.
Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge tourists a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as the staff and the regular customers became increasingly inconvenienced by random tourists looking around, taking pictures, with absolutely no interest in the products on display, they decided to do it.
Merino has clarified that he and his partners have no interest in actually charging the fee, and they don’t really have to anymore. By posting a warning about the 5 euro fee in the shop window, they have managed to discourage most unwanted visitors.
After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria spread quickly on social media, the Barcelona business faced a public outcry, and it was forced to explain the reasons and clarify that it didn’t really plan on carrying on the measure.
32. What can we learn about Queviures Murria
A. Tourists are not welcome there.
B. It has a history of nearly 100 years.
C. It charges people for taking photos.
D. Tourists prefer its design to the products sold there.
33. Why did the grocery store put up the sign
A. To earn a fame.
B. To attract more tourists.
C. To warn the impolite visitors.
D. To provide a convenient shopping environment.
34. What’s the public’s opinion on the measure
A. Opposed B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
35. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A travel journal. B. A news website.
C. A fashion magazine. D. A debate program.

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。
I was eating breakfast at home in Hampshire in March this year, scrolling (滚屏) through social media on my phone, when a story caught my eye. It was about a nine-year-old dog, Charlie, nicknamed the loneliest in Britain. He had been in a rescue center in Somerset for more than 500 days.
For some reason, nobody wanted to adopt him. I clicked on the link and right away Charlie’s huge, sad eyes stared back at me. I was attracted by him. I turned to my husband, Sam, and said: “We’ve got to have him.” He read the article over my shoulder and felt exactly the same way. We wanted to give Charlie a happy home and a new life. Over the past few years we have tried to adopt a few different dogs, but we haven’t had any luck — we were never top of the list. Sam and I got used to filling in forms and not hearing anything. We’d almost given up hope.
But Charlie is an older dog and we felt we’d be suited — even older dogs have a lot of love left to offer. So we took our time with the application, sent photographs of our house and garden. We explained why Charlie would be happy with us, and then forgot all about it.
A few days later we received an email from Brent Knoll animal center, saying we’d been shortlisted. We were so amazed! They asked us to visit Charlie and to see if he liked us. When we arrived, we were taken to the staff room. We didn’t know what to expect. We hadn’t been told much about Charlie’s circumstances, but as he had been given up for adoption and hadn’t been placed with a new owner for so long, we thought there might be issues. But the dog was full of joy and charisma (魅力).

He came straight over to us, all curious. With his tail wagging, he sniffed us carefully. Seeing this, I felt seized by a wave of excitement mixed with nervousness, and my palms sweated. Contrary to what we had imagined, Charlie was so energetic that he jumped on my husband’s knees with eyes twinkling with joy. I held him in my arms, and giggled in satisfaction. Instinctively, he barked and licked my face. “He’s just what I want!” I cried and brought him home.
Day after day, we occupied ourselves in Charlie’s company. During the day, he played his ball with us and enjoyed the sun in the garden. My husband would sit on the chair and picture his back time while Charlie was always next to him. In the evenings, he slept quietly on the carpet. The dim light was on; the whole room was filled with warmth and love. We knew then that love can melt his loneliness.

M: Here I am, at City Center Square, watching my grandmother dancing. In fact, her team just came first in the final contest at Guangming Theater this Friday. My family felt so proud that we held a congratulation party for her.
My grandmother taught music at a high school. She has always been into dancing and singing. After her retirement, she goes square dancing every night with her friends.
