Writing a good story is no easy task. What’s the secret? Mo Yan, the Nobel Prize winner in literature(文学)in 2012, believes his success comes from a large amount of reading.
Mo was born into a farming family in a village in Shandong Province. He grew up listening to folk stories about gods, spirits and foxes. Those stories later became the inspiration (灵感) for Mo’s writing.
Mo left school at the age of 12 and started to work in the fields. Although he was tired after his daily hard work, Mo was always hungry for books. However, there were very few in the village. He read his older brother’s textbooks and even dictionaries. He helped others with farm work in exchange for books.
“When I finished reading all the books around, I thought I was the most knowledgeable man in the world,” he told Xinhua.
After Mo left his hometown and joined the army in 1976, he began to read widely, including works by Lu Xun and many other famous writers.
He studied from these writers but did not copy them. Instead, he developed his own style. “I grew up in an environment filled with folk culture. It enters my novels whenever I pick up a pen. This has influenced, even decided, my style,” Mo told a group of reporters in his hometown shortly after he won the award in 2012.
As the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature(文学), the organization spoke highly of his works. They described his writing as a mixture (混合体) of fantasy and reality, combining historical and social perspectives (看法).

25、Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you’re not in China—you’re in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world.
Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat,” said Yin Hang, a Chinese student who is studying in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone(骨头) in ,but people here don’t. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.”
Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones(无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They’re not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. “Made in China” becomes cool. “They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don’t have,” an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.
As it is said, Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds to meet the needs of modern life.

26、Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no.” or “we don’t know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we sill soon contact these beings(人;生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals(信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”
【1】Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are _____.
A. astronomers B. farmers

【3】Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?
A. There were not any smaller planets.
B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them.
D. The Milky Way didn’t exist at that time,
【4】Why haven’t beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?
A. They’re afraid of us.
B. It’s a long way away.
C. They don’t want to see us.
D. They don’t know how to use radio signals.
27、The Hugo (雨果) Awards, the world’s top science fiction awards, were announced on the night of Oct 21, 2023. Chinese writer Hai Ya’s book The Space-Time Painter won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette. He became the third Chinese writer to win a Hugo award after Liu Cixin in 2015 and Hao Jingfang in 2016.
When creating The Space-Time Painter, Hai Ya drew his idea from a famous painting by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Based on Wang, Hai Ya created a painter named Zhao Ximeng. After many hard times, Zhao’s mind leaves his body and enters a space where a modern policeman is trying to solve a case about an ancient painting.
Hai Ya’s story with science fiction began in his childhood. “When I was a child, the bookstore in my hometown helped create a beautiful garden in my mind that belonged to me only. In it, science fiction offered the most beautiful ‘flowers’. Science fiction opened up a new world to him as a kid,” said Hai Ya.
Hai Ya’s works are a mix of history and science fiction. These two styles seem opposite. One looks back at the past, and the other faces the future. However, in Hai Ya’s works, they find a perfect balance.
“If we can only imagine the future and things in space like rockets, it will only limit our imagination. I don’t think history is something completely in the past. It is flowing, and we can look forward to the future by looking back at history. History is also part of our future,” Hai Ya said.
Science fiction lovers in China feel inspired (激发) by Hai Ya. More Chinese writers today are trying to mix traditional culture with modern stories. Hai Ya believes that it is not a choice but a natural process (过程). “Our history and culture have universal values (普世价值) that can touch everyone,” he said.
【1】What do we know about The Space-Time Painter?
A.It tells Wang Ximeng’s life story.
B.It is inspired by an ancient painting.
C.Its story is based on the faraway future.
D.It is a novel about the Song Dynasty.
【2】How did science fiction influence Hai Ya as a child?
A.It offered him traditional ways to write novels.
B.It taught him a lot about planting flowers.
C.It introduced him to a different world.
D.It helped him mix the East with the West.
【3】What does Hai Ya believe about the relationship between history and the future?
A.History is opposite to the future.
B.History can help us look forward to our future.
C.History offers us everything to shape our future.
D.History and the future are separate from each other.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Chinese traditional culture is inspired by Hai Ya.
B.Mixing traditional and modern culture is a choice.
C.Chinese writers are trying to limit their science fiction works.
D.A new force of science fiction has risen to spread Chinese culture.
28、根据短文内容及首字母提示,补全空格内单词,使短文完整、通顺。
In many people’s eyes, plants are quiet and passive (被动). They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think l【1】 us.
Or can they? A new BBC documentary series, The Green Planet (《绿色星球》), gives us a new look at plants. Released on Jan 10 on Bilibili, it discovers the wonderful and dramatic (戏剧性的) ways that plants b【2】 in their daily life.
“The Green Planet shows the secret lives of plants in the same way The Blue Planet (《蓝色星球》) opened our eyes to the oceans,” editor Elle Hunt wrote in New Scientist.
Plants compete(竞争) a【3】 each other to live. Each kind of plants has its own ways of defense (防御). In tropical (热带的) rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the series as only two percent of the sunlight filters (透过) t【4】 it. Some plants like Monstera (龟背竹属植物) spread their big l【5】 to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to hitch a ride (搭便车). Finally, they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa (轻木) tree. As the balsa has slippery (光滑的) hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees make poisonous sap (毒汁) to protect themselves.
Plants also help each other and even c【6】 with each other like chats or talks. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with o【7】 through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. In some w【8】, it’s like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it.
The series not only lets us marvel (惊叹) at the plant world b【9】 pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the basis of all life, including ourselves. We d【10】 on them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air (一口气) that we breathe.” said David Attenborough, presenter of the series. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.
