On the evening of November 9, 2025, the opening ceremony of the 15th National Games of the People's Republic of China started at the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center. As the first National Games co-hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, it made a historic breakthrough.
With the theme "Realizing Dreams for the Future", the 20,000-square-meter stage had a "concentric circle" design and no complex machines. The cultural show was divided into three parts. It used advanced technologies like AR and holography (全息投影) to show Lingnan lion dance, Cantonese opera and Wing Chun (咏春) in a creative way. Andy Lau (刘德华) sang the classic song "Chinese People". Other artists from the Greater Bay Area, such as Joey Yung (容祖儿) and Jordan Chan (陈小春), also gave great performances. These shows made the audience feel strong patriotism and a shared sense of regional identity. Famous landmarks like the Canton Tower and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge were shown in amazing light and shadow shows, which reflected the deep integration of the Greater Bay Area (大湾区).
The mascots "Xiyangyang (喜洋洋)" and "Lerongrong (乐融融)" were designed after Chinese white dolphins. They had three colorful splashes on their heads, which symbolized unity. The torch's flame was collected from 1,522 meters under the South China Sea and passed around the region. Finally, torchbearers from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao—including the famous sprinter Su Bingtian—lit the main cauldron together. Singers Zhou Shen and Shan Yichun ended the ceremony wonderfully with the theme song "Heaven and Sea as One".
A total of 14,252 athletes and nearly 50,000 volunteers took part in the games. The opening ceremony was more than a sports event; it perfectly showed the unique charm of the Greater Bay Area and China's lively sporting spirit to the whole world.

D、It might symbolize unity among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.(3)、Why were Lingnan lion dance, Cantonese opera and Wing Chun shown in the performance?A、To introduce traditional culture of the Greater Bay Area. B、To show that these arts are more popular than others. C、To let foreign artists learn Chinese traditional arts.

B、It will only be held in the Greater Bay Area in the future. C、It focuses more on cultural shows than sports competitions. D、It has the most volunteers in National Games history.(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、The history of the National Games in China. B、How the torch of the 15th National Games was relayed. C、The famous artists who performed at the opening ceremony.

On May 29, Sepoch, a Chinese company in Beijing, successfully tested sending over 20 kilograms of packages (包裹) using a rocket, reported Xinhua. The rocket flew for 125 seconds before landing in the sea near Shandong province, where workers picked it up. Sepoch said the rocket was in great shape after the test.
This was a big step in developing point-to-point rocket transport. The technology could greatly change global logistics (全球物流), because rockets can travel halfway around the world in just 60 or 90 minutes, according to The Space Review.
The amazing speed comes from something called "gravity assist (重力助推)", said Nautilus magazine. When the rocket goes up into space, Earth's gravity tries to pull it back down. Scientists can use this pull like a slingshot (弹弓) to make the rocket go faster with little energy as it heads back to Earth.
Right now, the technology is too expensive for everyday use. ▲, making reusable rockets with stainless steel (不锈钢), like the one tested this time, can help, experts at Sepoch told Xinhua. Stainless steel is also very good at taking heat and pressure, which is important for space trips.
Experts believe that using rockets to transport online shopping packages could help make more money for space industry research and development. In 2024 alone, China transported 174.5 billion packages—more than 124 for every person in the country, said China Daily.
(1)、What does Sepoch's test show?A、Cities along the sea are important for transportation. B、Rockets may help send online shopping packages. C、Rockets still have problems landing in certain areas. D、There will be a high demand for workers to collect packages.(2)、What role does Earth's gravity play in rocket transport?A、It makes the rocket stick to its path. B、It helps the rocket fly higher. C、It helps the rocket go faster. D、It provides energy for the rocket.(3)、Which is the best word for "▲" in Paragraph 5?A、Otherwise B、So C、However D、While(4)、Why do experts want to use stainless steel to make rockets?A、To make them reusable. B、To make them lighter. C、To keep them cool before take-off. D、To make them cheaper to use.(5)、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A、Online shopping is very popular in China. B、Rocket transport can support the space industry. C、China's transportation industry is well developed. D、Space technology will make online shopping easier.5. 阅读理解
Imagine having the robotic legs in the picture. You can put them on in seconds. Light and smart, this newly invented robotic exoskeleton (外骨骼机器人) makes hiking and climbing much easier.
