Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea,
And played in the autumn fog in a land called Honalee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that magic Puff,
And brought him feathers and glue and other fancy stuff.
Together they would travel on a boat with sail.
Jackie kept a lookout on Puff’s giant tail.
Kings and princes would greet whenever they came.
All ships lowered flags when Puff shouted out his name.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys.
Painted wings and giants’ rings make way for other toys.

Kunqu Opera，also called Kunqiang or Kunju, is one of the oldest operas in China. It has a long history of over 600 years and it is called the Mother of Chinese Operas. It’s known for its beautiful songs and style.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Gu Jian, an artist in Kunshan near Suzhou, worked together with other artists and they first created Kunshan qiang.

Autistic(自闭的) children are also known as “children of the stars”. They may have difficulties communicating with other people, but music, as a kind of artistic language, can
Jiao Tong University have tried to help them with an app called Starrypia.
Tan Yilan, Zhang Junwei and Cai Yu spent five months building their AR-gamified music therapy app for children with autism. Autistic children use the app to scan things around them and they get clips(片段) of music as well as cartoon images. Then they form these clips of music again to create songs, which would be recorded in their music diaries.
“This is actually a kind of music therapy, through which autistic children can better express themselves. The process also trains their abilities of cognition(认知), listening and concentration,” said Tan, . With AR interaction, the app encourages children to scan and tell the differences of all kinds of dolls, animals and plants. They even designed different levels, guiding users from their surroundings to nature.
According to the app's developers, traditional music therapy is usually taken in hospitals. Autistic children sit in front of computers learning some music courses. But Starrypia makes the process more like a game, drawing children’s interest, reducing children's resistance(抵触). Besides, it can be used anytime and anywhere, making the therapy lighter and easier.
Starrypia will soon be showed on the App Store. The developers are also preparing to sell the music works created by autistic children in the digital form of NFT(非同质化代币)，and return the money to their families.
When they tested the APP on autistic children, they got good responses, not only in professional terms but on the children’s faces. “I saw their smiles as they played with Starrypia, making everything worth it,” said Tan.
23．What does the underlined word “combining” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. sharing
B. connecting
paring
D. providing
24．Which of the following can match the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The advantages of the APP.
B. The reasons for building the APP.
C. The ways of helping autistic children.
D. The suggestions of treating autistic children.
25．Why may autistic children like the app called Starrypia?
A. Because the app makes the process of learning courses more like a game.
B. Because the process of using the app makes them able to listen and concentrate.
C. Because the app teaches them to learn some music courses in front of computers.
D. Because the app guides them how to scan and identify things from their surroundings. 26．What does the passage mainly talk about?

B. Autistic children have difficulties dealing with their music courses.
C. Three college students design a music game app called Starrypia with different levels.

A set of photos of a boy carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket has been widely spread on the Internet. The boy, Wang Fa, 15, is a member of the Va ethnic group (佤族) in Yunnan. After winning the under-14 title at the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in Guangzhou a year ago, an audience member from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a gift and the photos were taken.
“We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the field. This is a typical farming tool of the Va ethnic group. I carried my rackets in this basket to honour my hometown,”Wang said after the match.
Before tennis, Wang was only an ordinary boy from a village. But in 2016, he was chosen by a local club as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play professional tennis. “I was nervous at the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home,”he said, adding that tennis has helped him make more friends and get a better education.
Over the past six years, Wang, along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club, has trained hard to improve his skills. He thinks his physical strength also has improved. Every day, they must swing a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers.
“If I weren’t chosen as a tennis player, I would still be helping out my family with farmwork back home,” Wang said. Wang’s parents didn’t want him to learn tennis at first because they couldn’t afford it. But the tennis club offered to teach him for free. His family were very grateful.
For Wang, winning the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour title was the beginning of a hopeful future. “I will aim for the top place on the professional stage,” the rising star said.
32．How old was Wang Fa when he won the tennis match?
33．Who gave Wang Fa the bamboo basket in the photo?
34．What has Wang Fa improved over the past six years’ training?
35．Why didn’t Wang’s parents want him to learn tennis at first?
36．What does Wang Fa think of his future?

Growing Pains and Gains
Everyone meets problems when he grows up. Throughout my school life, I had not only pains but also gains.
When I entered Grade Nine, I faced a big problem, the 800-metre race. I always hated running, but I had no choice because of the sports exam. Although I practised hard every day, I couldn't run fast enough to pass the exam. I just wanted to give up. At that moment, the story about Spud Webb encouraged me a lot. Through hard work, Spud Webb became the shortest player in the NBA. He proved that size and body type do not matter-you can do almost anything if you never give up. His story gave me courage to solve all kind of problems.
Now, I'm not afraid of the 800-meter race any more. I have learned that nothing is impossible if we don't give up easily.
解析：。
