It is one of the greatest technological encyclopedias written in Chinese. But how much do you know about its author, Song Yingxing? Song was a brilliant scientist during the late Ming dynasty. He was born into an ordinary family in 1587 and had a happy childhood. He and his brother Song Yingsheng went to school together. Both of them were very smart. Song won third place while his brother won sixth in the provincial Imperial Exam (科举考试). Later, Song and his brother took the national Imperial Exam, but they both failed. They had no choice but to take up jobs offered to them by the provincial government. Song worked as a teacher for many years. Meanwhile, he sat for the national Imperial Exam for another four times. Unluckily, he never achieved success. On his repeated trips to the capital to take the exams, however, he learned about the different technologies that were being used in different fields. His wide knowledge enabled him to create Tiangong Kaiwu in the 1630s. The name of the Chinese encyclopedia refers to humans’ making good use of the wealth of nature with the help of technologies. The book covers more than 130 technologies of farming and manufacturing. The explanations are clear and detailed. There are also many pictures to help with the understanding of the text. The encyclopedia became popular soon after it was produced and sold to the public. The Ming dynasty fell in 1644, but Song and his brother refused to work for the new Qing government and gave up their jobs. Song lived a poor life until the day he died. In his final years, he wrote many articles and poems against the Qing government. Tens of years later, some Qing officials found these articles and poems. They were so angry that they destroyed all of Song’s works. Luckily, Tiangong Kaiwu had already spread to many other countries, though it wouldn’t find its way back to China until the end of the Qing dynasty in 1911. Finally, Chinese people were able to marvel at this great scientist again. 26．Why was the repeated trips to the capital important to Song Yingxing?

But the Chinese fan is not just a tool for cooling down. It’s an important part of Chinese culture. ②The history of the Chinese fans dates back to over 3,000 years ago. One of the earliest known “fans” were named shanhan (扇汗). They weren’t like the fans we see today. People used them to hide from the sun and protect them from the rain on a horse-drawn carriage (马车). The shanhan then changed into a long-handled fan called the zhangshan (障扇). This type of fan was made of silk or bird feathers and was mainly used by the king’s honor guard (仪仗队) for decoration. It wasn’t until the Zhou Dynasty that people started using folding fans to cool down. ③In the Han Dynasty. more common people started using fans because cheaper bamboo fans had been made. These fans stayed popular until the Tang and Song Dynasties. At the same time, a new type of silk fan was also brought in. Young women loved the silk fans because they were round to resemble the moon. They were also called “round fans” or “tuanshan”. ④The ribs (扇骨) of these silk round fans were made from bamboo or animal bones. The handles of fans usually had different designs. The main part of the fan often had calligraphy (书法) and scenes, like mountains or flowers. Folding fans mainly had panels (扇面) and ribs. For the ribs, people used different kinds of materials, including wood, bones and bamboo. The panels of the folding fan were usually made of paper, silk or other materials. They left an empty space for artists to paint on. Their calligraphy work and painted scenes added color to the fans. ⑤From the Song Dynasty, fan painting became a special kind of art. Fans with pictures of birds and flowers on were popular among young women. Men, however, liked fans decorated with calligraphy. Mythical (神话的) creatures were also popular. Dragons were often painted onto men’s fans while ladies usually preferred phoenixes (凤凰). 30．When did people begin using fans to cool off? A．In the Zhou Dynasty. B．In the Han Dynasty. C．In the Tang Dynasty. D．In the Song Dynasty. 31．Why did fans become popular among common people? A．Because more people learned to make fans. B．Because cheaper bamboo fans were made. C．Because a new type of silk fan was brought in. D．Because people want to cool down in summer. 32．What is the underlined word “resemble” in the third paragraph similar (相似的) to? A．cut out B．look like C．turn into D．make up 33．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】30．A 31．B 32．B 33．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统扇子的文化和历史。 30．细节理解题。根据“It wasn’t until the Zhou Dynasty that people started using folding fans to cool down.”可知，在周朝人们才开始用折扇降温。故选A。 31．细节理解题。根据“In the Han Dynasty. more common people started using fans because cheaper bamboo fans had been made.”可知，扇子在普通人中流行是因为人们制造了更实惠的竹扇。故选B。 32．词句猜测题。根据“Young women loved the silk fans because they were round to resemble the moon. They were also called ‘round fans,’ or tuanshan. ”可知，此处指扇子圆得像月亮，故推出resemble意为“类似，看起来”，与选项B“看起来像”意思相近。故选B。 33．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段是总段介绍了扇子的历史；第二、三段分别介绍了扇子的历史演变；第四、五段分别介绍了扇面绘画艺术。故选C。 C ① A new study shows that roosters can identify (辨认) themselves in a mirror. The surprising result raises questions not just about how smart roosters are, but about how scientists test animal intelligence. ② Scientists use Mark Test to test whether an animal can identify itself. First of all, a mark is put on an animal, usually in a place that can only be seen with a mirror. Then the animal is placed before a mirror. If it seems to pay attention to the mark, scientists believe the animal has identified itself. ③ The Mark Test is often seen as a good way to learn how smart an animals is. ________ Scientists at a university in Germany recently ran the Mark Test on roosters. They put a pink mark on the chest of the roosters. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark. ④ So the scientists tried a new test by using the shadow (阴影) of hawk (鹰) to see whether or not the rooster thought it was alone. Roosters may make loud calls to warn nearby chickens when a hawk flies above. If they’re alone, they remain quiet. ⑤ First, the scientists helped the roosters get used to being in a closed—in space and having a mirror around. After some time, they took the mirror out and ran several tests by making a hawk shadow appear above the bird and watching how it reacted. ⑥ When there was no mirror, the roosters reacted as usual. They called out when they were near another rooster, but remained quiet after the other rooster was taken out by the scientists. ⑦ Then, the mirror was put back. When a rooster could see itself in the mirror, it remained silent even with the hawk shadow above it. Later, the scientists put the other rooster behind the mirror. It still didn’t make any sound. ⑧ The results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, and not other roosters. That shows that the Mark Test may not be a good test of whether an animal can identify itself. ⑨ The scientists hope their results will encourage other scientists to look for better ways of testing how smart animals are. It may turn out that some kinds of animals are more intelligent than people though. 34．What is the first step for the scientists to do the Mark Test? A．Paying attention to a mark, B．Putting a mark on animal. C．Feeding an animal some food. D．Placing an animal before a mirror. 35．Which of the following can be put in ________ in paragraph 3? A．As a result, they need a better way. B．However, some scientists did another test on roosters. C．Until recently, only one kind of bird had passed the test. D．But some scientists believe it doesn’t work well for all animals. 36．According to paragraphs ⑤-⑦, which of the following shows the correct order of the second test? A．b-a-e-c-d B．b-e-a-c-d C．a-b-d-e-c D．a-e-b-d-c 37．Which part of the magazine is the passage most probably from? A．Animal World B．Quiz Time C．Science Discovery D．Book Review 【答案】34．B 35．D 36．B 37．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项关于动物能否识别镜中自己的科学实验。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段“First of all, a mark is put on an animal, usually in a place that can only be seen with a mirror.”可知，科学家在动物身上做一个标记是进行马克测试的第一步。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据第三段“The Mark Test is often seen as a good way to learn how smart an animals is.”以及“But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark.”可知，马克通常被看做测试动物是如何的聪明的一种方法，但拿公鸡为例的实验没奏效。故空处会表达“马克测试对所有动物并不适用”，故选D。 36．细节理解题。通读⑤-⑦段内容可知，先让公鸡适应镜子，然后是移走镜子做了几次测试后，让鹰的影子出现在鸟的上方观察它的反应，没镜子时，公鸡反应跟往常一样，当靠近另一只公鸡，它会发出叫声，另一只被带走后，它保持沉默，当公鸡从镜子看到自己时，即使头顶有鹰的影子，它也保持沉默，后来，另一只公鸡在镜子后面，它仍然没有发出任何声音。故正确顺序为b-e-a-c-d。故选B。 37．推理判断题。通读全文可知，主要介绍了一项关于动物能否识别镜中自己的科学实验。属于科学发现类的内容。故选C。 Welcome to Top Discovery Space (TDS)!

It is one of the greatest technological encyclopedias written in Chinese. But how much do you know about its author, Song Yingxing? Song was a brilliant scientist during the late Ming dynasty. He was born into an ordinary family in 1587 and had a happy childhood. He and his brother Song Yingsheng went to school together. Both of them were very smart. Song won third place while his brother won sixth in the provincial Imperial Exam (科举考试). Later, Song and his brother took the national Imperial Exam, but they both failed. They had no choice but to take up jobs offered to them by the provincial government. Song worked as a teacher for many years. Meanwhile, he sat for the national Imperial Exam for another four times. Unluckily, he never achieved success. On his repeated trips to the capital to take the exams, however, he learned about the different technologies that were being used in different fields. His wide knowledge enabled him to create Tiangong Kaiwu in the 1630s. The name of the Chinese encyclopedia refers to humans’ making good use of the wealth of nature with the help of technologies. The book covers more than 130 technologies of farming and manufacturing. The explanations are clear and detailed. There are also many pictures to help with the understanding of the text. The encyclopedia became popular soon after it was produced and sold to the public. The Ming dynasty fell in 1644, but Song and his brother refused to work for the new Qing government and gave up their jobs. Song lived a poor life until the day he died. In his final years, he wrote many articles and poems against the Qing government. Tens of years later, some Qing officials found these articles and poems. They were so angry that they destroyed all of Song’s works. Luckily, Tiangong Kaiwu had already spread to many other countries, though it wouldn’t find its way back to China until the end of the Qing dynasty in 1911. Finally, Chinese people were able to marvel at this great scientist again. 26．Why was the repeated trips to the capital important to Song Yingxing?

It’s an important part of Chinese culture. ②The history of the Chinese fans dates back to over 3,000 years ago. One of the earliest known “fans” were named shanhan (扇汗). They weren’t like the fans we see today. People used them to hide from the sun and protect them from the rain on a horse-drawn carriage (马车). The shanhan then changed into a long-handled fan called the zhangshan (障扇). This type of fan was made of silk or bird feathers and was mainly used by the king’s honor guard (仪仗队) for decoration. It wasn’t until the Zhou Dynasty that people started using folding fans to cool down. ③In the Han Dynasty. more common people started using fans because cheaper bamboo fans had been made. These fans stayed popular until the Tang and Song Dynasties. At the same time, a new type of silk fan was also brought in. Young women loved the silk fans because they were round to resemble the moon. They were also called “round fans” or “tuanshan”. ④The ribs (扇骨) of these silk round fans were made from bamboo or animal bones. The handles of fans usually had different designs. The main part of the fan often had calligraphy (书法) and scenes, like mountains or flowers. Folding fans mainly had panels (扇面) and ribs. For the ribs, people used different kinds of materials, including wood, bones and bamboo. The panels of the folding fan were usually made of paper, silk or other materials. They left an empty space for artists to paint on. Their calligraphy work and painted scenes added color to the fans. ⑤From the Song Dynasty, fan painting became a special kind of art. Fans with pictures of birds and flowers on were popular among young women. Men, however, liked fans decorated with calligraphy. Mythical (神话的) creatures were also popular. Dragons were often painted onto men’s fans while ladies usually preferred phoenixes (凤凰). 30．When did people begin using fans to cool off? A．In the Zhou Dynasty. B．In the Han Dynasty. C．In the Tang Dynasty. D．In the Song Dynasty. 31．Why did fans become popular among common people? A．Because more people learned to make fans. B．Because cheaper bamboo fans were made. C．Because a new type of silk fan was brought in. D．Because people want to cool down in summer. 32．What is the underlined word “resemble” in the third paragraph similar (相似的) to? A．cut out B．look like C．turn into D．make up 33．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． C ① A new study shows that roosters can identify (辨认) themselves in a mirror. The surprising result raises questions not just about how smart roosters are, but about how scientists test animal intelligence. ② Scientists use Mark Test to test whether an animal can identify itself. First of all, a mark is put on an animal, usually in a place that can only be seen with a mirror. Then the animal is placed before a mirror. If it seems to pay attention to the mark, scientists believe the animal has identified itself. ③ The Mark Test is often seen as a good way to learn how smart an animals is. ________ Scientists at a university in Germany recently ran the Mark Test on roosters. They put a pink mark on the chest of the roosters. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark. ④ So the scientists tried a new test by using the shadow (阴影) of hawk (鹰) to see whether or not the rooster thought it was alone. Roosters may make loud calls to warn nearby chickens when a hawk flies above. If they’re alone, they remain quiet. ⑤ First, the scientists helped the roosters get used to being in a closed—in space and having a mirror around. After some time, they took the mirror out and ran several tests by making a hawk shadow appear above the bird and watching how it reacted. ⑥ When there was no mirror, the roosters reacted as usual. They called out when they were near another rooster, but remained quiet after the other rooster was taken out by the scientists. ⑦ Then, the mirror was put back. When a rooster could see itself in the mirror, it remained silent even with the hawk shadow above it. Later, the scientists put the other rooster behind the mirror. It still didn’t make any sound. ⑧ The results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, and not other roosters. That shows that the Mark Test may not be a good test of whether an animal can identify itself. ⑨ The scientists hope their results will encourage other scientists to look for better ways of testing how smart animals are. It may turn out that some kinds of animals are more intelligent than people though. 34．What is the first step for the scientists to do the Mark Test? A．Paying attention to a mark, B．Putting a mark on animal. C．Feeding an animal some food. D．Placing an animal before a mirror. 35．Which of the following can be put in ________ in paragraph 3? A．As a result, they need a better way. B．However, some scientists did another test on roosters. C．Until recently, only one kind of bird had passed the test. D．But some scientists believe it doesn’t work well for all animals. 36．According to paragraphs ⑤-⑦, which of the following shows the correct order of the second test? A．b-a-e-c-d B．b-e-a-c-d C．a-b-d-e-c D．a-e-b-d-c 37．Which part of the magazine is the passage most probably from?
