You may have seen such a photo: with a long white beard and wearing a bamboo hat, an old fisherman is on a boat. Huang Quande looked like this when tourists took photos with him on the Lijiang River in Guilin. He became so famous that many believed the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan banknote (纸) was based on his image (形象). Sadly, Huang passed away at 94 in 2023. According to Jimu News, Huang shows the true spirit of the Lijiang River. He was an active and kind man. In his 90s, Huang could still move his boat with speed.

Since ancient times, the location has been a great place for moon watchers during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The candlelight from the three pagodas (塔) is reflected on the water and looks like the moon. The renminbi pictures have helped make the landscapes even more popular among tourists.
Following the banknotes from 1 yuan to 100, Pan from Chongqing had a “banknote tour”. “I want to finish a ceremonial (仪式的) journey and feel the beauty of our country,” Pan said.

B. The popularity of Chinese banknotes.
C. The cultural symbols behind the banknote landscapes.
D. The differences between different banknote landscapes.
34. Which of the following is the structure of the passage?

A. B. C. D.
35. What can we learn from the passage?

B. The renminbi pictures play a role in advancing the popularity of related landscapes among. tourists.
C. The landscapes on the fifth series of renminbi banknotes are all the most typical natural ones in China.

【导语】本文介绍了传奇女飞行员阿梅莉亚·埃尔哈特的生平事迹,包括她童年时期的性格特点、如何爱上飞行、取得的航空成就以及最后的失踪事件,展现了她打破性别限制的传奇人生。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Born in 1897, Amelia was just like a “tomboy” in her childhood, collecting insects, hunting rabbits and climbing trees along the Missouri River.”可知,Amelia童年时就像一个“假小子”,在密苏里河边收集昆虫、猎兔、爬树,这些都是有挑战性的户外活动,故选C。
