Thanks to the country’s protective efforts, traditional Chinese culture is shining with new energy. It attracts younger generations at home and abroad.
JongMay was born in 1994 in the US and she came to China as a high school student in 2011. She studied Chinese dance in college and has been staying in here ever since. “When I was a kid, I was interested in the Chinese costume dramas and I often pretended(假装) myself to be an ancient Chinese princess,” she said. “So I thought I had to come to China to learn about the culture more deeply. China is just like my second home.” Her dance videos are very popular online
Urbonya, a 28-year-old vlogger, is living in Beijing now. Dressed up in a delicate traditional Chinese dress known as the Hanfu, she shares her understanding of ancient Chinese poetry in perfect Mandarin in front of the camera. The beauty of clothes and poetry make her become a popular vlogger. She started a company in April to spread traditional Chinese culture on video-sharing platforms. Besides talking about literature(文学), traditional Chinese clothing and dancing are also included.
Hakobyan, a 30-year-old Armenian lady, fell in love with this country, especially the shadow play. Once, she watched a show in a museum. With the beautiful shadow puppets, the performers moved them along with songs of local opera. She decided this was what she wanted to do, believing that it is an excellent way to tell stories of Chinese myths, legends and culture. Learning from videos, Aleta managed to build a shadow play stage and recorded some of her own shadow plays. She uploaded(上传) several videos online and won many fans from Armenia.
( ) 66. What does the underlined word “delicate” probably mean
A. Interesting. B. Weak. C. Beautiful.
( ) 67. If Mike prefers Chinese dance and poems, whose videos will he choose to watch
A. JongMay’s. B. Urbonya’s. C. Hakobyan Aleta’s.

C. They all learned the traditional art forms by themselves.

Natural scenes(景象) often become the themes of poetry. Poets watch nature closely and present(呈现) its beauty in their poems. For example, poets may describe natural scenes such as a spring day or a snowy day. Besides, poets often express their feelings about nature by creating lively images(形象) in poems. With images, poets can describe the details of something colorfully. Readers, on the other hand, can connect their own experiences with the images in the poems so that they can share the poets’ ideas. Now let’s read the poem Who Has Seen the Wind
Who has Seen the wind by Christina Georgina Rossetti Who has seen the wind Neither I nor you; But when the leaves hang trembling The wind is passing through. Who has seen the wind Neither you nor I; But when the trees bow down their heads The wind passing by. Night by William Blake The sun descending in the west. The evening star does shine; The birds are silent in their nest. And I must seek for mine. The moon, like a flower, In heaven’s high bower With silent delight Sits and smiles on the night.
When we read the lines “When the leaves hang trembling” and “When the trees bow down their heads”, they remind us of a windy day. The poet successfully creates an image of the wind by describing details of the scene. These help the readers think of the moment when the wind passes by. We might even bow our own heads, imagining that we are the trees.
In the poem Night, Blake describes many details of a night scene. People know very well what they can see at night, like stars or the moon. However, Blake sees more than just the moon itself; he sees the moon as a flower, smiling at us from up in the sky. So the moon is really compared to a flower and personified(拟人化) as a smiling person.
( ) 71. What’s the purpose of writing Paragraph 1
A. To have an argument. B. To have a discussion. C. To give an introduction.
( ) 72. Which picture best describes the underlined part in the poem Who Has Seen the Wind
A. B. C.
( ) 73. ________ sits and smiles on the night in the poem Night.
A. The star B. The bird C. The moon
( ) 74. What do the two poems have in common
① Seeing natural scenes as humans. ② Using imagination.
③ Creating images by hearing and touching.
A. ①③. B. ②③. C. ①②.
( ) 75. How does the writer present the passage to us
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By using personifications.

Beijing’s Forbidden City is a place full of wonder. From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful art works, it 1 many tourists from home and abroad since it was open to the public.
Although it has been around for more than 600 years, there are many 2 skills that we haven’t known clearly behind the building. Let’s go to discover them.
It was said that the Forbidden City experienced more than 200 earthquakes including the most serious one which happened in Tangshan in 1976. While most structures aren’t made to stand natural disasters, let alone(更别提) the ones hundreds of years ago, it seems that the Forbidden City 3 to stand anything.
Why can the Forbidden City stand terrible earthquakes The answer lies in the building way. It was invented in China for 4 . It was widely used in ancient wooden buildings. It plays an important role in classical Chinese structures.
When the earthquake happens, the wooden structure of the roof does not 5 face the force the earthquake brings, but the different parts against each other move back and forth. So it 6 in shape when under pressure, much like the shock absorbers(减震器) of a car,” according to Chinese National Geography.
Although it is held together 7 any nails(钉子) or glue, the brackets(支架) are 8 at keeping every part of the building together than others no matter what kind of weather it is like “Ancient Chinese workers created structures that were both useful and beautiful, showing their deep 9 of math, architecture, and science so on.”
The Forbidden City interests visitors because of its 10 influence and cultural importance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to the list of attractions: earthquake shelter.

The fear of making the wrong decision, or decidophobia(选择恐惧症), can influence people even when it comes to the smallest choices, such as what to have for lunch. It can keep you stuck in place when you should be moving forward toward new experiences. Below are several tips to deal with it. 1
Try the Decision-Making Quadrant. A good tool for decision-making is the Decision-Making Quadrant. In relation to the decision to be made, list answers to these four questions: What happens if X happens What won’t happen if X happens What happens if X doesn’t happen What won’t happen if X doesn’t happen 2
Lower the number of decisions. If making decisions is a weakness, it’s important to accept that and lower decision-making in as many areas as possible. Eat set meals. Wear standard sets of clothes. Develop a morning, work and evening habit. 3 Do everything else you can to lower decisions. Then, consider practicing making decisions with someone who you can turn to.
Take it one step at a time. Change can be hard. Not everyone likes to be different from daily habits by making decisions, big or small. When making a decision, look at it as a learning experience. 4 Don’t be afraid of the result. Look forward to it.
5 When decision paralysis(决策瘫痪) has taken over and “what-ifs” are holding you down, sometimes you need to step outside of yourself for a different view. Think about someone you trust and respect. Ask yourself, “What would he or she do ” and let it be your guide.
A. See things from a different view. B. They help you make progress in life. C. Create an action list with decision time. D. Every decision you make teaches you something. E. Set a fix time for checking email or social media. F. Your decision will almost always be found in your answers.

A new study has found that 176 kinds of birds around the world are building their nests with rubbish from humans, such as cigarette butts(烟头) and plastic bags. Aren’t birds supposed to use grass, leaves and other parts of trees to build their homes Yes, they used to.
But now things are different. A group of European scientists looked into about 35, 000 studies on bird nests. It was found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth.
Scientists found that some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have some chemicals, so they can keep insects away and protect the baby birds. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger.
However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more problems to birds. The unhealthy chemicals in cigarettes hurt the baby birds. They may get sick or have shorter lives. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt.
To make matters worse, if the cigarette fire is not off when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set the nest on fire. Seabirds were found to add fishing nets to build up their nests, which may also cause them in danger, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. Our friends in the air are living a hard life because of some human activities.
To improve the situation, people shouldn’t be allowed to smoke or leave rubbish behind when there are many trees around. And to make the idea work, people will have to pay certain money or help clean the area for some time if they don’t follow the rule. This protects the environment as well as the animals living nearby. We can also play our part by building artificial(人工的) nests that are warm and safe for birds to use instead of forcing them to build their own.
