24、What are the cultural differences between China and the West? You might be able to find the answer in Cao Siyu’s comics (漫画).

Cao, 32, was born in Beijing, but left home at 20 and has studied and lived in the US, the UK, and France over the last 12 years. Having seen so many cultures, Cao wanted to use her artistic skills to present the differences she has experienced. So she created the cartoon series Tiny Eyes Comics.

“My experience shows that although travel is much easier and faster today, the distance between cultures hasn’t shortened.” Cao said. She hopes to build bridges and break down misunderstandings between different cultures.

For example, one of her cartoons shows water preferences in different countries. Three glasses of water are shown. The glass of water from the US has ice; the one from France is full of sparkling water (气泡水); the one from China is steaming (冒热气的).

Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, she used her comics to explain why Chinese people prefer to wear masks, while Western people don’t. “Her simple sketches (速写) have played a big part in showing Chinese culture.” Italian magazine Grazia reported.

Many foreign readers say that Cao’s comics help them understand China, and Chinese immigrants (移民) have felt that they are seen and understood. She said that this feedback (反馈) has been the biggest motivation (动机) for her to keep creating.

A．Because Cao wants to be understood by Western people.

26、   Everyone has got two personalities (性格) -the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.

If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.

If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don't often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

【1】Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep _______.

A.on curled up B.on her stomach C.on her back D.on her side

【2】What does the word "defensive" mean in the passage?

B.Changing positions will cause sleeping problems.

C.Sleeping positions show people's secret personalities.

D.Enough sleep makes people look better and healthier.

27、   Shanghai started garbage sorting（垃圾分类）on July 1st, 2019. Since then, people in Shanghai have taken part in it actively. However, we can often see the elderly gathering around the boards with garbage sorting knowledge, but young people are hardly ever seen there. To make young people more involved in（参与到）garbage sorting, a lot of mobile programmes and games that spread the knowledge about it have come into being.

A 15-second video of a game became the hottest online in the past few days. In the video, there are four different kinds of garbage bins in front of players, and the players should throw different kinds of garbage into the corresponding bins to get scores.

This game appeared at the Mobile World Congress（世界移动通信大会）held in Shanghai last week. Although it wasn’t the only game there, it caught the most attention. “I’m in great need of this game. Maybe I won’t need to check how to sort garbage on my phone if I play this game more often,” Zhou Zhou says, a young woman from Shanghai.

Wu Xia, the CEO of the company that created the game, says, “We want to provide a simple and interesting way of learning garbage sorting. With it, people can practise garbage sorting without going through the rubbish in real life, and it also works better than paper materials when training garbage sorting volunteers.”

The garbage sorting game was launched（发布）on the Steam platform and China’s Tencent WeGame platform in August this year, according to Wu.

【1】What does the underlined word “corresponding” probably mean in Chinese?

A．常见的

B．类似的

C．相应的

D．传统的

【2】What is the purpose of this game?

A．To be used as a garbage sorting volunteer.

B．To encourage young people to learn garbage sorting.

C．To teach people how to make the city more beautiful and cleaner.

D．To provide an interesting way of reducing household garbage.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The garbage needs to be sorted in four kinds in the game.

B．People began to play Wu Xia’s game from early July.

C．Zhou Zhou doesn’t support Wu Xia’s game.

D．Wu Xia’s game was the only game at the Mobile World Congress.
