C Embroidery is an important art form in Chinese culture The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou,Shu embroidery from Sichuan,Xiang embroidery from Hunan and Yue embroidery from Guangdong. Shu embroidery is the oldest.It goes back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD).People sold it to other countries through the South Silk Road. But the skill is in danger of dying out.To protect the skill,Shu embroidery was added to China's intangible cultural heritage list(非物质文化遗产)in2006.

Wanting to save the art,Meng decided to rent her own place and teach Shu embroidery to others.It's not an easy job.Workers need to divide each silk thread into more than 10 or even 30 pieces.Each piece is thinner than a single human hair.In 2016,Baidu invited Meng to make a homepage logo for Qixi Festival. It was a small logo(针法)and35,000 stitches(一针). The work is hard and the pay is low.Not many people want to learn this skill.But Meng is trying to save it by teaching in different universities and communities.

D You might expect native English speakers to be the best at speaking the English language.But some experts believe that when it comes to successfully communicating in English,non-native speakers are actually easier to understand. "Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understanding each other.And when suddenly the American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them,"Chia Susan Chong,a UK-based communications culture expert,told the BBC. Chong said this happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully."English speakers, on the other hand,often talk too fast,slang (and mention their country that others might not understand."Chong said. "As an Australian living in China,this is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese coworkers.I'm careful to speak slowly and use words I know they will understand.Sometimes,we confuse each other,though..Once,I told my coworker,which is slang for "no problem".However,she thought I was calling her a drama queen(大惊小怪的人)and got upset.. But don't worry.Experts say that it's the native speaker's fault if they can't understand you,not yours. "English speakers with no other language often lack awareness of how to speak English internationally,"English language teacher Dale Coulter told the BBC. The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience.If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker,don't be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly. 65.What does the underlined word "confuse"in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Get angry with. B.Feel comfortable with. C.Find it easy to understand.D.Find it difficult to understand. 66 Why did the Chong's coworker get upset? A.Because Chong talked fast. B.Because Chong used slang. C.Because Chong made a joke. D.Because Chong mentioned Australia. 67.How can we avoid trouble when we communicate with native speakers? A.By speaking English slowly. B.By asking them to slow down and speak clearly. C.By asking them to tell some jokes. D.By listening to them carefully. 68.What can we infer from the passage? A.Native speakers communicate more carefully. B.If you can't understand native speakers,it's your fault. C.Sometimes slang isn't proper for the international communication. D.Chong usually speaks fast when he communicates with other people. E When people go to a different country for the first time,they experience culture shock because everything is so different:the language,the food,the background,the social customs and others!When I first set foot in the City of Leeds,England,I found myself in a completely different culture from that of my own city.Guangzhou.For the first few days of my stay in Leeds I really knew about this so-called "culture shock". One problem I had was with the food.Usually Chinese people are not used to the taste of British food. but the problem I actually had was with the names of the different kinds of food.When the waiter asked me what I wanted,all I could do was to point and say "I want this"or"I want that". Sonething else which was different was the countryside.When I was sitting on the bus heading from Manchester Interational Airport towards Leeds,I saw through the window large fields of green grass on either side of the motorway ()There were green grass and beautiful trees all the way.I could see sheep or horses eating grass in a free way.We may see such a scene in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. Becauise we Chinese use most of the land to grow crops.As we all know,China has the largest population in the world but very limited farming land.It supports about one fifth of the world's population.We can't afford to leave large areas of rich land unused. Then.after a few days,I got over this shock and really enjoyed my stay in England. 69.What does the underlined word"that"in Paragraph I refer to? A.The language.B.The food.C.The background.D.The culture. 70.What did the writer do in England?Check and choose the right answer. He went to Leeds by train. @He couldn't call the names of the food. 3 He saw some horses through the window. OHe fiew back to Inner Mongolia. 5He was used to the culture shock there later. A.②③⑤8.①②④C.③④⑤D.②③④ 71.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A.The trip to Leeds seems quite long. B.The green grass is everywhere in England. C.The scene of the English countryside is very beautiful. D Sheep and horses can be seen here and there in England. 72.What would be the best title for the passage? A.The City of Leeds.B.The Culture Shock.C.Some Delicious Food.D.Many Cute Animals.
