repairing clothes that leaves an obvious fix on purpose. She added flowers, or other small designs to damaged
clothes. “Every time you do a repair, it's like getting a new piece of clothing,” says Flora. Her first sweater with
holes was fixed with sunsets and flying birds. It has now become part of a special show at a museum in the UK.
The show teaches 41 about clothing repair throughout history to the modern day.
Flora is very busy now. She 42 repairing classes online and shares mending advice with more
than 100,000 Internet followers. She's pleased to see that repairing one's own clothes is becoming 43

For the younger generation (一代) in China, modern toys have always been attractive.
Recently, Beijing silk figurines (北京绢人), with fine clothing and lively facial expressions,
have proved that they are just as attractive as modern toys.
As a form of national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产), Beijing silk figurines have a history
of more than 1,000 years, dating all the way to the Tang Dynasty. Usually, a traditional silk figurine is mainly
made of natural silk.
He Mei is an inheritor(传承者) of Beijing silk figurines. When first seeing the dolls, she was so impressed
by their appearances that she decided to learn the skill of making them. Later she set up her company in 2013 to
produce silk figurines.
Now He's team is working hard to make Beijing silk figurines go further. “People are familiar with
American Barbie dolls. I want to turn Beijing silk figurines into‘Chinese Barbie dolls’,” she said.
Traditional Chinese culture is the main source(来源) of the inspiration (灵感) for their designs. The first
Beijing silk figurines the team produced were modelled after the different rotes in Pek ng Opera. The team has
also turned well-known characters from other Chinese operas into figurines.
To make its products more popular, He's team has developed complete DIY tool bags, so people can
create a figurine of their own within an hour.
Besides, He's company has even worked with robot companies to power their figurines with technology.
“The connection of the ancient folk art with technology will make people even more interested in the art,” He
said.
49. The history of Beijing silk figurines can date back to .
A. the Sui Dynasty B. the Song Dynasty C. the Tang Dynasty D. the Ming Dynasty
50. Where does He's team mainly get the inspiration for figurine designs
A. From cartoon characters. B. From traditional Chinese culture.
C. From movie and TV stars. D. From American Barbie dolls.
51. What can we know about He Mei's company
A. It has 1,000 workers now. B. It sells American Barbie dolls.
C. It was started in 2003. D. It works with other companies.

On the subway, by the bus stop and even on the way, we often see people watching micro-dramas on apps
like Kuaishou and Douyin. These dramas have been on the rise over the past few years. In 2023, micro-dramas
made 37.39 billion yuan, equal to 70 percent of the money made by China's film industry, reported China Daily on
Sept 27.
Chinese micro-dramas are also going strong around the world. Sensor Tower, a US company, said that
over 40 apps for watching the dramas have entered the global market. By early 2024, these apps already had
around 55 million downloads. One of them, Reel Short, has been downloaded more times than Netflix on the
Apple Store in the US, reported Reuters.
International viewers find these micro-dramas exciting to watch, reported Xinhua. The stories are usually
fast-paced (快节奏的) and have many surprising turning points. “This keeps people’ s attention and makes them
fun,” Liu Jinlong, head of the app Short TV, told Xinhua.
The short length of the dramas adds to their popularity. Each episode (集) usually lasts for less than two
minutes. People can finish a micro-drama in short periods of time. Also, most micro-dramas are filmed vertically
(竖向地). This allows people to watch them without having to turn their phone screens.
However, one challenge to be addressed is that many of them have similar themes. “The dramas should
include more topics, not just the usual ones like time travel,” Li Jiang, head of Dianzhong Tech, told China Daily.
52. How does the writer explain the popularity of micro-dramas
A. By writing reports. B. By giving numbers.
C. By raising questions. D. By showing pictures.
53. Which statement is correct according to the passage
A. Netflix wasn't welcome among the American people.
B. The US company Sensor Tower has entered the global market.
C. Reel Short was downloaded many times on the Apple Store in the US.
D. Micro-dramas made as much money as China's film industry in 2023.
54. According to Li Jiang, what can make Chinese micro-dramas more successful
A. Adding different topics. B. Centering on hot topics.
C. Making them more surprising. D. Improving the quality of videos.
55. What is the main idea of this passage
A. China's film industry is on the rise in 2024.
B. Chinese video apps are popular all over the world.
C. Foreigners are becoming interested in Chinese culture.
D. Chinese micro-dramas are getting popular internationally.

He was the only gray cub (狼崽) of the she-wolf. The other cubs had red in their
hair. He was gray like his father. He was the strongest cub. He showed more anger than his
brothers and sisters. He made more noises.
He was a carnivorous animal. He came of a breed of meat-killers and meat-eaters. His father and mother
lived wholly upon meat. In his first months of life, he lived on mother's milk, which was transformed directly
from meat. And now, at a month old, when his eyes had been open for but a week, he was beginning himself to
eat meat.
There came a time when there was no meat. For many days the cubs did not eat. They were too weak and
tired to play. One-Eye, the cub's father, was killed in the fight over food. Even the she-wolf left the cave to find
meat, but there was nothing. One by one, the cubs died. Only the she-wolf and the gray cub were left.
One day, the gray cub ran out of the cave to hunt for his own food. He met a weasel (黄鼠狼) of his size.
The rat-like animal ran at him and bit his throat. He was nearly dead when the she-wolf arrived just in time to
kill and eat it.
The gray cub was not good at hunting yet, and still needed food from his mother. One day, the she-wolf
brought him a lynx (猞猁 ) kitten. While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten's mother had followed the
she-wolf here. The she-wolf and the she-lynx started to fight, and they would fight to the death. The
bite was enough to give the she-wolf the chance she needed. The lynx was dead, but the she-wolf was badly hurt.
For a week, she did not move. The gray cub had to find food for both of them.
Without his mother to take care of him, he learnt what life was about. Without meat there was no life.
Animals had to eat other animals to survive. The law was EAT OR BE EATEN.

Today China is the world's biggest eater of wheat. But it wasn't always that way.
Wheat only came to northern China toward the end of the Neolithic (新石器) period, some 4,600 years ago.
In the beginning, wheat didn't seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of rea l need rather than a
cooking pleasure. The first farmers of northern China started to grow millet (粟) as early as 11,500 years ago. By
the time of the Tang Dynasty, wheat had become a major crop. But little was known about exactly why this
change happened.
To look for the answer, I collected nearly 1,200 data points covering over 50 places from the mid-Neolithic,
about 9,000 years ago, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 220 AD. The places were across 8 modern
provinces, from Gansu Province in the northwest to Shandong Province in the east.
One possible explanation is a major climate (气候) change, called the Holocene Event 3, which happened
4,000 to 4,500 years ago. At that time, the climate became colder and drier across the land, causing less and less
crop production.
Besides this, the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world. With
an increasing population and unsteady crop production, it is reasonable to imagine that Neolithic farmers in
northern China were trying hard to live.
Wheat, it turns out, actually needs more water than millet, making it seem a poor choice for a dry period of
history. But importantly, it can be sowed (播种) after millet has been harvested. If the millet fails in a certain year,
farmers will still have time to grow wheat. That, we think, is the most likely reason why the people across
northern China started to grow wheat.
From more terrible weather to changing coastlines, climate change has always brought unexpected and
sometimes big changes to societies. In this situation, the result of the Holocene Event3 in northern China finally
proved, delicious.
The Development of Wheat in China
Introduction China is now the world's biggest wheat eater. But that was not always 76___ in
history.
Wheat was first 77 _to China at the end of Neolithic period;
In the beginning, it wasn't so delicious at all and was just a 78
crop.

3 finally proved the good taste of wheat.

Chinese writer Hai Ya’ s The Space-Time Painter《时空画师》 won the Hugo Award(雨果奖) for Best
Novelette on Oct 21,2023. He became the t 86 Chinese writer to win a Hugo award after Liu Cixin in
2015 and Hao Jingfang in 2016.
When creating The Space-Time Painter, Hai Ya got his i 87 from a famous painting,A
Panorama of Rivers and Mountains《千里江山图》. It is by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty (960-1279).
Based on Wang, Hai created a c 88 named Zhao Ximeng who painted for an emperor(皇帝) more
than 1,000 years ago. After many hard times, Zhao's mind leaves his body and e 89 a space where a
modern policeman is trying to solve a case about an ancient painting.
Hai Ya's story with science fiction began in his childhood. “When I was a child, the bookstore in my
hometown helped create a beautiful g 90 in my mind. In it, science fiction offered the most
beautiful‘flowers’,” Hai Ya told Beijing Youth Daily. He a 91 that science fiction opened a new world
for him. Hai Ya's works are a mix of history and science fiction. These two styles seem o 92 : One takes a
look at the past, and the other faces the future. However, in Hai Ya's works, they find a perfect balance.
“If we can only i 93 the future and things in space like rockets, it will only limit our abilities,” Hai
Ya told Shenzhen Special Zone Daily. “I don't think history is something totally in the past. It is flowing, and we
can predict about the future by looking b 94 at history,” he said.
More Chinese writers today are trying to mix t 95 culture with modern stories. “Our history and
culture have lasting values that can touch everyone,” he said to Xinhua.
