In June, 11yearold Nigerian ballet dancer Anthony Mmesoma Madu was filmed barefoot,
spinning and leaping gracefully in the air and landing in concrete, rain puddles ( 水坑). Just a few
short months later, he has become an Internet star and gained a famous scholarship in America.
Madu thought he was being recorded for a study session by his ballet instructor, instead, the
short video of him practicing his moves was posted on social media and has been shared widely
across the world, with some of his fans including Hollywood actors Cynthia Erivo and Viola Davis.
His dancing also caught the attention of Cynthia Harvey, the artistic director of the ABT Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis School of Dance in New York. Harvey was so impressed by his talent that she
tracked him down and offered him a scholarship with the American Ballet Theatre where he will
attend a summer school in 2021.
Madu says his interest in ballet developed after watching Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses,
a 2006 cartoon about 12 princesses who share a passion for the dance. “When I was watching the
cartoon, I told my mum that I want to do ballet.” he said.
He eventually got the chance to learn the dance after relocating to Ojo, a suburb ( 郊 区 ) of
Lagos with his mother, where they met Daniel Owoseni Ajala, founder of the Leap of Dance
Academy. Ajala founded the dance academy in 2017 and has been teaching ballet for free to
children who are unable to pay for a dance education since then.
When the selftaught instructor learned of Madu's desire to dance, he said he encouraged
Madu's mother to let him sign up. It was during one of their sessions that he recorded Madu's dance
video, but he never imagined that it would circulate rapidly.
“The video wasn't something we imagined to come out the way it did. It was just something
that was supposed to show corrections of movements. It was bigger than I imagined, and I started
getting calls. Celebrities were posting us，” he said.
24．What can we know about Anthony Mmesoma Madu?
A. He decided to apply for a scholarship.
B．He became one of Viola Davis' big fans.
C．He posted his short video on social media.
D．He impressed many people by his dancing.
25．When did Madu show interest in ballet?

A promotion ( 促销活动) offering 98 yuan domestic plane tickets is being advertised by
Chinese online travel platform LY.COM. While such a low price sounds amazing, there is just one
catch : the purchaser is not told where the flight is heading, nor when it will take off.
The promotion has become a trending topic on Chinese social media as some people have
been attempting to book them ahead of the upcoming May Day holiday. Labeled as a “destination
blind box” on the site, tickets are purchased through a rather simple booking procedure, in which
passengers provide their travel information, select a departure airport and then pay their 98 yuan. If
the randomly chosen date and destination are unsuitable, users may ask for a refund, but once they
“lock in” their tickets，there is no going back.
“Destination blind box” is now a hot topic on China’s online platforms. “I believe young
people are a big target demographic (特定年龄段人口) for this promotion, because they not only
enjoy the thrill of the unknown, but also like to show off their lives through these types of
commercial activities. Like this one for instance, it doesn’t matter if they finally go or not. Booking
a ticket and posting about it on social media can still suggest that one has adventurous and life-
loving qualities,” said Fan, a marketing expert who has worked with civil aviation clients.
Many people not only shared the screenshots of tickets they drew, some even came up with a
tutorial to teach the booking procedure under the free cancelling policy. However, some others
claimed it is too rare to draw a ticket that is ideal. “If it wants to be a profitable activity, the release
of the tickets must have been planned ahead and is not as random as it seems. It will not have
popular airlines. The marketing campaign may also be aimed at the fast sale of some tickets from
less popular airlines that were originally not that expensive. If they sell a large quantity of tickets,
the company may still earn a profit even though the price is 98 yuan,” an expert in tourism
suggested.
28. Which of the following best explains “catch” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Benefit. B. Mistake. C. Disadvantage. D. Charm.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The origin of “destination blind box”.
B. The purchase introduction to “destination blind box”.
C. The original purpose of “destination blind box”.
D. The popularity of “destination blind box”.
30. Why will “destination blind box” appeal to young people according to Fan?
A. It allows them to experience various adventures.
B. It satisfies their desire to travel around China.
C. It helps them save money on the cost of travel.
D. It accords with their lifestyle and attitudes.
31. In which part of a newspaper can you find this article?
A. Economy. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Advertisement.
D
Earthquake forecasting is one of the most ancient skills known to mankind. From ancient
Greece to the present day, countless scientists have tried to develop tools to predict earthquakes.
Their attempts usually focused on searching for reliable evidences of coming quakes.
However, there are many reasons why predicting quakes is so hard. “We don’t understand
some basic physics of earthquakes,” said Egill, a research professor at the California Institute of
Technology. Scientists have also attempted to create mathematical models of movement, but
precisely predicting would require great mapping and analysis of the Earth’s crust. Other challenges
include a lack of data on the early warning signs, given that these warning signs are not yet entirely
understood. Actually, real earthquake prediction is very similar to the diagnosis of potential human
illnesses based on observing and analyzing each patient’s signs and symptoms. As it turns out,
