To really know a country, you need to understand its culture and history.
That was why journalist and media expert Zhang Ciyun began his work on a six-volume(册)exploration of ancient Chinese wisdom as reflected in myths, classics works, idioms, paintings, historical figures and architecture.
The English-language edition of the book series was unveiled at last week’s Shanghai Book Fair. The series caters for an increasing number of foreign readers who are deeply interested in traditional Chinese culture.
“The idea of the book series came to me nearly three decades ago, when I discovered how little foreigners knew about Chinese culture”, Zhang said. “Oh, they knew about kung fu movies, the Great Wall and the terracotta warriors, and had vague impressions of Chinese emperors. But they wanted to know more about Chinese culture.”
Zhang, a founder and former editor-in-chief of the English-language Shanghai Daily, is fluent in English. He draws on that skill to tell the stories of ancient China in the everyday language and experiences of native English speakers.
Zhang said ancient culture has had a far-reaching impact on the behavior and thinking of contemporary Chinese, and gives foreign readers insight into modern-day China.
He recalled a Shanghai Daily survey of readers that showed foreigners had great curiosity about Chinese culture. But at that time, books that might help them explore deeper into that culture were pieces scattered(散布)over different publications. There were no books in English providing easy access to Chinese history and culture.
“As a journalist working for an English-language newspaper, I really wanted to do something to meet that need,” he said. “I decided to use my writing skills to tell ancient stories about Chinese culture, especially its traditional aspects.”
He began his project in about 1993, beginning with a series of articles explaining the stories behind Chinese idioms. His first works were compiled into one book, which received positive feedback and was later translated into German and other foreign languages.
24．What can we learn about Zhang Ciyun’s books
A．They involve various Chinese culture forms. B．They have been translated into German.
C．They were not well received at first. D．They were accomplished in 1993.
25．Why did Zhang write the book series
A．To record ancient Chinese wisdom. B．To spread Chinese culture.
C．To pursue fame and interests. D．To promote Shanghai Daily.
26．What can be inferred about foreigners’ learning Chinese culture in the past
A．No English books about Chinese ancient culture were available.
B．Foreigners showed little interest in learning about Chinese culture.
C．It was not convenient for foreigners to learn about Chinese culture.
D．English books on Chinese culture were published in large numbers.
27．Which of the following best describes Zhang
A．Famous and humorous. B．Creative and responsible.
C．Ambitious but unlucky. D．Wise but conservative.
C
After being attacked by Hurricane Ida’s 150 mph winds and torrential rains, hundreds of thousands of Gulf Coast residents were left without power and fresh water this week as a 100-degree heat wave settled over the region. Ida smashed into Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane, ripping off roofs, knocking out transmission lines, flooding roads, and reducing some brick buildings in downtown New Orleans to rubble. At least eight people died in the storm and the toll is expected to rise as emergency workers search wrecked homes and businesses.
One of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. mainland, Ida brought a 5 to 12-foot storm surge that covered low-lying communities in southeastern Louisiana. Grand Isle is now “uninhabitable,” said Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng, with 3 feet of sand covering the entire barrier island and 40 percent of the buildings completely destroyed.
The storm caused a citywide blackout in New Orleans, but a Hurricane Katrina-level disaster was avoided there, thanks in part to the $ 14.5 billion spent on new levees, seawalls, and pumps after the 2005 storm. Experts are warning that Ida could worsen the Covid crisis in the Gulf Coast, as residents crowd together in homes and emergency shelters without immediate access to testing or medical care. ICUs in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama hospitals were already near capacity be- fore the storm hit. Nearly 1 million people are still without power across Louisiana, and authorities waned it could be weeks before electricity is restored. “If you have already evacuated,” said Gov. John Bel Edwands, “do not return here.”
28．Which of the following best describes Hurricane Ida
A．Mild. B．Destructive. C．Uncontrollable. D．Impressive.
29．What does the underlined words “the toll” mean in Paragraph 1
A．The death number. B．The heat wave.
C．The wind speed. D．The citywide blackout.
30．What is one of the reasons for Grand Isle to be uninhabitable
A．The entire island is covered with sand. B．It is one of the low-lying communities.
C．The residents there can't wait to leave. D．Over half of its buildings were in ruins.
31．What can be inferred about the attitude of Gov. John Bel Edwards towards the prospect of Louisiana
A．Ambitious B．Undoubted. C．Indifferent. D．Unconfident.
D
Extra fingers are not that rare. About one or two in every 1, 000 babies are born with extra fingers. If the extras are just small nubs(肿块), they may be surgically removed at birth. But some extra fingers can prove helpful, a new study shows.
An extra finger can be incredibly handy. People born with six fingers per hand can tie their shoes, flexibly manage phones and play a complicated video game---all with a single hand. What's more, their brains had no trouble controlling the more complex movement of their extra fingers, the new study finds. Its results also highlight how flexible the human brain can be. That information can guide people who design brain-controlled robots.
Researchers worked with a 52-year-old woman and her 17-year-old son, both of whom were born with six fingers on each hand. Their extra fingers grew between the thumb and index finger. And they resemble thumbs in how they can move. The researchers studied the subjects' hands with MRI(核磁共振成像), which can map body structures. They also looked at activity in the parts of the brain that control the hands. Those scans showed a dedicated brain system that controls the extra fingers. The sixth fingers had their own muscles and tendons That means they don't' just depend on the muscles that move the other fingers as some doctors had thought. The brain had no trouble directing the extra fingers, the researchers showed. It suggests someone's mind would be able to control robotic fingers or limbs. However, it might be harder for a person not born with extra fingers.
Living in a world designed for people with five fingers has led the mom and son to adapt in interesting ways. For instance, eating tools are too simple for them, so they constantly change the posture on the eating tools and use them in different way. Still, not everyone with extra fingers may show improved flexibility. In some cases, extra fingers may be less well developed.
32．What does the new research find about extra fingers
A．They are always useless. B．They are very uncommon.
C．They are usually necessary. D．They are sometimes beneficial.
33．What can we infer about extra fingers from the text
A．Brain-controlled robots can be designed to have extra fingers.
B．Extra fingers are more flexible than normal ones.
C．The extra nubs removed at birth are actually helpful.
D．Extra fingers' muscles and tendons are stronger.
34．How do extra fingers move according to the study
A．They can't move by themselves. B．They follow other fingers to move.
C．They act under the direction of the brain. D．They move out of the control of the brain.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．Sixth Finger Can Improve Ability
B．Sixth Finger Can Prove Extra Handy
C．Sixth Finger Should Be Treated Properly
D．Sixth Finger Should Develop in Many Ways

Dear Eric,
How are you doing Recently I have taken up the Chinese martial arts, which is great fun. Knowing that you are keen on traditional Chinese culture, I think you may be interested in it.
Martial arts, also known as Wushu, is a traditional sport in China. I started practicing it last month in order to build up my body and relieve the stress from study as well. As scheduled, we gather in the school gym to do the sport twice a week. Our coach tells us that Wushu makes people feel a sense of calm, confidence and peace.
The one-month training has benefited me a lot. My health has improved significantly, and I have come to understand the concept of good sportsmanship. Would you like to join me in practicing Wushu Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Text 10
When 17-year-old Anika Puri visited India with her family four years ago, she was surprised to see many products made of elephants still for sale in the market, even though the ban on hunting elephants had been in place for many years. As a wildlife lover, Puri wanted to do something to help protect the species. After research, Puri noticed that monitoring systems currently used are based on visual recognition. They can’t get clear images of animals and hunters, so they are not quite accurate. Full of passion, Puri created ElSa, a machine learning software. Machine learning allows a program to “learn” by feeding on data, to then be able, for example, to analyze situations by itself. ElSa then can analyze movement patterns of humans and elephants. It is four times more accurate than the existing detection methods. Her invention got her a prize. However, Jasper, a scientist who is designing a system to detect illegal hunters using GPS trackers, pointed that Puri’s model still needs to be tested further to see how well it can detect illegal hunters.
