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 roles in Peking 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.
29. 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
30. 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.
31. What can we know about He Mei’s company?
A. It was started in 2003. B. It sells American Barbie dolls.
C. It has 1, 000 workers now. 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.
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. 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.
35. 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 real 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

Wheat was first____57____to China at the end of Neolithic period;

wheat

Conclusion
Climate change has a great ____65____on societies and the result of the Holocene Event 3 finally proved the good taste of wheat.

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 roles in Peking 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.

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.
32. 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.

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.
34. 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.
35. 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 real 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.

【导语】本文主要介绍了中国小麦种植的发展历史,包括其传入时间、最初作为实际需求作物而非烹饪享受的角色、成为主要农作物的原因以及可能的解释。
【56题详解】
根据第一段“Today China is the world’s biggest eater of wheat. But it wasn’t always that way.”可知,现在中国是世界上最大的小麦消费国,但过去并不是这样的。that way意为“那种情况,那样”,此处用the case“情况,事实”来替换,且be the case为固定短语,意为“是这样的”。故填the case。
【57题详解】
根据第二段“Wheat only came to northern China toward the end of the Neolithic (新石器) period, some 4,600 years ago.”可知,小麦是在大约4600年前的新石器时代末期才传入中国的北方的。此处用introduce“介绍,传入”符合语境,且主语wheat与introduce之间为被动关系,需用被动语态be introduced,且was first introduced为一般过去时的被动语态。故填introduced。
【58题详解】
根据第二段“In the beginning, wheat didn't seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of real need rather than a cooking pleasure.”可知,一开始,小麦似乎并不那么美味,它被视为一种实际需求作物,而非烹饪享受。此处用real“真正的”修饰名词crop。故填real。
【59题详解】
根据第二段“By the time of the Tang Dynasty, wheat had become a major crop. But little was known about exactly why this change happened.”可知,到了唐朝,小麦已经成为一种主要农作物,但人们并不清楚这种变化的确切原因。此处用unknown“未知的”作表语,描述小麦成为主要农作物的原因未知。故填unknown。
【60题详解】
根据下文列举的可能的原因可知,此处在介绍种植小麦的可能原因。reason“原因”符合语境,且为可数名词,此处用复数形式reasons表示多个原因。故填reasons。
【61题详解】
根据第四段“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.”可知,一个可能的解释是4000到4500年前发生的一次重大气候变化,即the Holocene Event 3。当时,全国的气候变得寒冷干燥,导致农作物产量越来越少。此处用cause“导致”符合语境,且情态动词may后接动词原形。故填cause。
【62题详解】
根据第五段“Besides this, the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world.”可知,除此之外,新石器时代晚期也是世界各地人口快速增长的时期。此处用population“人口”符合语境。故填population。
【63题详解】
根据第六段“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.”可知,小麦实际上比小米需要更多的水,这使得它在历史上干旱时期似乎是一个糟糕的选择。但重要的是,它可以在小米收获后播种。此处用before“在……之前”引导时间状语从句,符合语境。故填before。
【64题详解】
根据第六段“Both wheat and millet can be sowed in a year, which may...why people grow it.”可知,一年中可以种植小麦和小米两种作物,这可能就是人们种植它的原因。此处用explain“解释”符合语境,且情态动词may后接动词原形。故填explain。
【65题详解】
根据最后一段“From more terrible weather to changing coastlines, climate change has always brought unexpected and sometimes big changes to societies.”可知,从更恶劣的天气到海岸线变化,气候变化总是给社会带来意想不到有时甚至巨大的变化。此处用influence“影响”符合语境,且a great influence on为固定短语,意为“对……有很大的影响”。故填influence。
