“Attracting （吸引）new students to traditional kung fu has become a problem,” says Hu Zhengsheng, who teaches it at a small school in Dengfeng.

Many of us are used to greeting each other by shaking bands which comes from Western traditions. But because of the COVID-19, a traditional Chinese way of greeting has become popular.
Recently, many schools in Zhejiang, China, asked their students to use zuoyi（作揖）as a way of greeting. To make the body language, one usually needs to bow（鞠躬）at an angle（角度）of 30 to 45 degrees with hands folded（折叠）in the front.
It is said that the body language has a history of over 3000 years. Folding one’s hands shows others that he/she doesn’t have any weapons and doesn’t come to fight.
The rules are different for men and women. For men, the left hand is put over the right hand. But for women, the right hand is on the outer side. However, in some special situations, men and women should both do the opposite.
Many people are happy to see this greeting come back. This is not only a good way for people to stay safe during this special period, but also a great form of cultural education.

The platform was developed jointly by the Dunhuang Academy and the Chinese tech firm Tencent. It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.
The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics dating from the 4th century to the 11th century unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.

China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals. The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digital platform.
Digital collections cater to(迎合) the consumption habits of young people. They not only protect the intellectual property of the collections but also bring the public closer to China’s “excellent traditional culture”, noted Dunhuang Art Institute.

What goes into mind when you think of kung fu, also known as wushu Maybe the image of Shaolin monks(和尚) fighting with a serious look in their eyes, or popular children’s movies like Kung Fu Panda.
Recently, Laurence J. Brahm, a documentary filmmaker from the United States. Brahm began a journey of a kung fu pilgrimage(朝圣), traveling to cities in China and the US to search for the origin(起源). Brahm himself is a kung fu lover who has been practicing for more than 40 years. For him, practicing this craft was more than fun.
Around 10 years ago, Brahm was unable to use one of his legs for about two years. But by practicing martial arts(武术), he was able to recover step by step.

China’s Grand Canal
For centuries, the power of Chinese emperors rose and fell with their control of the Grand Canal. Today, this waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is still the longest man-made river in the world. Importantly, the Grand Canal continues to provide a necessary cultural and economic(经济的) link for modern China.
The first canal system began around the year 605. China’s Emperor Yang realized that he needed a better way to feed his army. Specifically, he needed a way to move food quickly from China’s southern rice-growing area to the country’s north. So, the emperor ordered the building of the first section of the Grand Canal, connecting canals, lakes, and rivers. About one million people—mostly farmers—worked on the big project, which took six years.
In addition to moving rice around China, the Grand Canal was an important cultural conduit. Soldiers, businessmen, and artists transported ideas, local foods, and cultural practices from one part of China to another. According to some old stories, this is how Beijing got two of the best-known symbols. Peking duck, a dish from Shandong Province, and the Peking opera, from Anhui and Hubei areas, were both brought north through the canal.
For more than a thousand years, goods have been transported along the Grand Canal. Even today, the country’s watery highway plays an important economic role in China. Boats continue to carry tons of coal, food, and other goods to points between Hangzhou and Jining—now the northernmost city the canal reaches.
In 2014, the historic Grand Canal was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site(联合国教科文组织世界遗产地). It is hoped that the Grand Canal—one of the world’s great engineering achievements—will continue to link north and south China for centuries to come.
28．Why was the Grand Canal first built
A．To enable more people to visit rice-growing parts of China.
B．To let the army move quickly from the north to the south.
C．To transport food from the southern part of China to the north.
D．To develop the building skills of the farmers all over China.
29．Which of the following is closest in meaning to conduit(Paragraph 3)
A．Connection. B．Conversation. C．Conclusion. D．Contribution.
30．According to the passage, why has the Grand Canal been important for China
A．Because it’s the world’s longest man-made river.
B．Because it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
C．Because it is a watery highway for lots of boats.
D．Because it’s economically linked the north and south.
What makes you fall asleep The main cause is your body clock, a time-keeper inside your body. But how to control and use your body clock Scientists suggested having a shower before bed. Jumping into the shower around an hour before bed could mean you sleep better.
A warm shower helps you relax, and then after it warms you up, your core（核心）body temperature drops. This encourages you to fall asleep more quickly and sleep more soundly.
A study in 2019 said that a water temperature of 40℃ to 42. 4℃ produces the best-quality（最优质的）sleep. After people lie down, most of them take about 20 minutes to fall asleep. However, if you have a shower one to two hours before going to bed, you will fall asleep 10 minutes earlier.
Core body temperature drops naturally before you sleep, then drops further during the night. It rises again as you wake up. It is thought that taking a warm shower will speed up the drop in temperature before bed, as it brings blood to the surface of the body, and then the heat is given off.

These days, many volunteer groups go out gleaning in order to provide those in need with fresh, healthy food.
Holly’s group is one of them. Her volunteers collect about 300 boxes of food each week. Once, a local fruit farmer called Holly to ask for gleaning services. He had a large field with more than 700 fruit trees. A member of Holly’s group created an online map of the trees. With the help of the map, the volunteers quickly collected the fruit from the trees.
Besides this, Holly’s volunteers have also picked other vegetables from local farms. The food has been sent to food banks and community kitchens in her area.

Tea is an important part of Chinese tradition. Tea has very close relationship to Chinese culture.
It’s said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong. People say that he lived 5, 000 years ago. One summer day, while he was visiting a faraway part of his country, he felt very thirsty. When the servants were boiling the water for him to drink, the dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water. The King drank some, and found it could make him feel less tired, which made Shen Nong interested in the new drink. And so, tea was created in 2737 BC.
Drinking tea has many advantages. It makes people feel less tired, clears heat inside the human body and helps people lose weight. As you add a cup of tea to your daily life, please check the following advice.

Everybody is afraid of something. But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. It means what makes one person scared can be no big deal for someone else. For example, some kids don’t like the dark, some hate nightmares（噩梦）and scary movies, others may run away from dogs, snakes or some big insects.
Fear is a feeling that everyone has. To some extent, that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear, so we can react to something that could be dangerous.
When there’s noise in the kitchen, the baby cries because of feeling afraid. Then the baby’s mum comes over to comfort him or her. With the help of the baby’s mum, the baby calms down and feels safe and good again. As babies grow up, things get better. Bigger kids hear that loud noise and think it’s no big deal. That’s because the best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older, they understand more and start seeing the differences between what is reality（事实）and imagination. For example, when the lights are out, a kid may imagine what is under the bed. Using a flashlight（手电筒）to see that there’s nothing there can help fight that fear.
There are some fears that there’s no need to get over. Rachel, 11, is afraid of the jellyfish living off the coast of Australia. It’s OK for Rachel to be afraid of that big jellyfish because it’s truly dangerous. But she doesn’t have to be afraid of it all the time. It only lives in certain ocean waters. So when she’s not swimming in one of them, there’ll be no worries about the big jellyfish.
59．What does the underlined word “scary” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Sad. B．Boring. C．Educational. D．Frightening.
60．Which is the best way to get over a fear
A．To ask someone for help. B．To stop imagining things.
C．To know more about it. D．To grow older.
61．What should Rachel do with her fear according to the passage
A．Play with the jellyfish. B．Swim in the non-jellyfish water.
C．Swim in the water where jellyfish live. D．Raise a jellyfish as a pet.
62．Which of the following is true
A．Fear is bad for people.
B．People aren’t born with fear.
C．A baby cries always means the baby is hungry.

Seagrass, an underwater plant that grows on the ocean floor, is very important for sea life. It also helps prevent global warming by storing carbon, a harmful gas. However, scientists don’t know exactly how much seagrass is at the bottom of the ocean. With the help of tiger sharks, a team of researchers has discovered the world’s largest seagrass meadow（grassland）on the seafloor near the Bahamas.
Seagrass meadows are home to many different kinds of fish, shellfish, and so on. Large sea animals, such as sharks, also spend a lot of time there looking for food. Seagrass can grow in very deep and dark waters, making it difficult to find. But sharks can dive deep into the water and get to the areas people cannot reach.
After noticing tiger sharks swimming through seagrass off the Bahamas, an American scientist worked with a seagrass expert, trying to map the locations of the plants. The researchers fitted seven tiger sharks with cameras. Since tiger sharks swim in groups, they placed satellite tracking tags（卫星跟踪器）on eight other sharks to find out exactly where the animals swam. They collected hours of videos of the tiger sharks swimming through seagrass.
The researchers found more seagrass growing near the Bahamas than they expected—in fact, they believe that there is more seagrass there than anywhere else on Earth. The new finding increased the total number of seagrass known to exist by 41%. However, more research is needed to discover the true size of the seagrass meadow.
Scientists often depend on findings from divers and boats to study about the underwater world, but this team found that working with animals improved their understanding. They are now placing cameras on sea turtles to study seagrass in the Red Sea. Hopefully, more mysteries about seagrass will be solved.
63．What are the scientists studying according to the passage
A．Sharks. B．The Bahamas. C．Seagrass. D．The Red Sea.
64．Which italic（斜体）word has the same meaning as the underlined word “map” in Paragraph 3

65．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The reason for the study. B．The method to do the research.
C．The finding of the research. D．The difficulty in carrying out the study.
66．Why does the writer write the passage
A．To tell the importance of saving seagrass.
B．To express the strong love for tiger sharks.
C．To share a new way of doing undersea research.
D．To introduce a special project on global warming.
The scientific method is used for simple experiments that students may do in the classroom or very difficult experiments that scientists are doing all over the world. It is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions.
There are usually four steps in the scientific method, including observation (观察), hypothesis (假设), experiment, and conclusion. The steps may not always be completed in the same order, but the first step is usually observation and asking a question about your observation. For example, you had a sick stomach, and ate a candy bar. An hour later, you observed that you felt much better. Here, you can ask a question, such as, “What makes a sick stomach feel better ”
The second step is to state a possible answer to the question, or a hypothesis, such as “” A good hypothesis includes three things: The explanation for the observations, it is able to be tested, and it will usually predict new outcomes or conclusions.
The third step is the experiment, to test the hypothesis. An experiment is a test which will either challenge or support the hypothesis. The hypothesis will then be true or false.
The final step is to think about what happened when you tested the hypothesis and draw a conclusion. The conclusion will either clearly support the hypothesis or it will not. If the results support the hypothesis, a conclusion can be written and you can share it with the rest of the world. If it does not support the hypothesis, you may choose to change the hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment.
67．Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the passage
A．How do the four basic steps in the scientific method work
B．What makes a good hypothesis based on the observation
C．The conclusion will always clearly support the hypothesis.
D．Learning the scientific method may help students succeed in science.
68．Which sentence should go in the empty box in Paragraph 3
A．A candy bar makes a sick stomach feel better.
B．It was the medicine you took an hour earlier that made you feel better.
C．Eat a candy bar again, and see what happens to your sick stomach.
D．Ask people if eating a candy bar has made a sick stomach feel better.
69．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)
A．The hypothesis. B．The conclusion.
C．The question. D．The observation.
70．Which of the following sentences about the experiment is TRUE
A．An experiment is a test to always support the hypothesis.
B．An experiment does not have to be part of the scientific method.
C．An experiment is a test to either challenge or support a hypothesis.
D．An experiment is only used when scientists are trying to prove a hypothesis.
