When people think of Beijing, the hutong style always comes to mind. It is no exaggeration (夸张) to say within hutongs lives the city's history.
The word “hutong” referred to a place where people live, which was borrowed from the Mongolian word to mean “water well” about 700 years ago. Hutongs we see today are made up of small paths formed by walls of siheyuan. They were built during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
第二部分
35
When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, there were more than 3,000 hutongs. Most of the city's population lived in this traditional housing. But with the modernization of the city in the 1980s and early 1990s, many hutongs were pulled down to build roads, skyscrapers and modern houses.
The government has recognized the importance of hutongs to Chinese cultural heritage. In 2002, Beijing listed 40 protected historical zones and increased its efforts to rebuild some key relics and older streets in the city. Nearly 500 hutongs have survived.
第二部分
36
Hutongs that still exist are like oases (绿洲) of calm in the noisy city. Walking through them, it's common to see groups of elderly people sitting together playing cards, mahjong (麻将) or Chinese chess. In the early mornings and evenings, they gather to practice traditional forms of exercise such as Taijiquan as well as dancing and singing folk songs or Peking Opera. Hutongs have become a museum of Beijing's folk customs and history.

Humans have lived in cities for around 5,000 years. These cities were unlike modern cities, but still organized places meant for many people to live together peacefully. So, what was life like in the earliest cities created by humankind? Using modern technology, scientific explorers have discovered some answers.
The Indus Valley civilization existed from about 3300-1700 BCE, roughly 5,320 to 3,720 years ago. Also known as the Harappan civilization, the Indus Valley civilization was one of the world's earliest urban civilizations. At the same time, the civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China were also prosperous. The Harappan civilization was located in South Asia, in what is now Pakistan and northwest India.
第二部分
42
Although the Harappans had a written language, scholars today cannot decipher the text. As a result, most of what is known about Harappans comes from the ruins of their two largest cities: Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Both cities cover less than 2.6 square kilometers, or one square mile. This is much smaller than modern cities. For example, in the United States, Central Park in New York City alone has an area of 1.3 square miles. The cities had an estimated population of around 40,000 each.
第二部分
43
The cities were located about 644 kilometers, or 400 miles, from one another and were similar in layout. Scholars believe the Harappans used the position of the rising sun and moon to determine their cities' geography. One significant feature of Harappan cities was their highly developed systems for supplying water and removing waste. In Mohenjo-daro, about 700 wells supplied water to the city's buildings.
Explorers continue to investigate the Harappan civilization. Since 1986, they have made many important discoveries. Artifacts (手工艺品) are displayed at the National Museum in New Delhi, India, and in museums throughout the world.

A.It dates from thousands of years ago.
B.It belongs to the Indus Valley civilization.
C.It was the only urban civilization then.
D.It was located in what is now China.

第二部分
29.What does the underlined word “decipher” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Select. B.Understand.
C.Draft. D.Recite.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词前文“Although the Harappans had a written language(虽然哈拉帕人有书面语言)”以及画线词后文“As a result ... Harappa and Mohenjodaro.(因此,人们对哈拉帕人的大部分了解都来自他们两个最大城市的废墟:哈拉帕和摩亨佐-达罗。)”可推知,现在的学者不能解读文本,画线词decipher意为“解读”,与understand意思相近。故选B。

As an example of intangible cultural heritage, Jiaonan New Year prints incorporate the features of traditional Chinese New Year paintings with the artistic touch of Gongbi paintings and paper cutting. “Intangible cultural heritage can best be appreciated and passed down to future generations only if it integrates modern aesthetics and is suited to today's life,” said Tian Sheng, one of the inheritors of the art.
According to Chai Zhanzhu, an inheritor of jiaotai ci, or “twisted clay porcelain”, the vitality of intangible cultural heritage lies in innovation. “ Innovation is our focus in carrying forward the technique,” Chai said. “In the past, the art was mostly used to create feather and chrysanthemum (菊花) patterns. Now, landscapes, figures, flowers and birds can also be twisted into finished pieces. ”

Located in Southwest China, Sichuan Province has many worldfamous places of interest. My family trip to Jiuzhaigou, a nature reserve in Sichuan, still remains fresh in my memory.
Stepping onto the magical land, I was totally stunned by its multilevel waterfalls and lakes of amazing colors: crystal clear, bluegreen and dark green. Creatures were living in harmony with nature there. As we walked deeper, we even saw rare animals like takins and golden monkeys.
All in all, a trip to Sichuan is highly recommended and it is well worth another visit.

Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, Peter, a poor man, sat down in the New York City park, waiting for an old gentleman who would invite him to eat a big meal. But this Thanksgiving Day Peter wasn't hungry. He was lucky. A lady often helped the poor on this day and she had served too much food to him. He had eaten so big a meal that he had almost no power to move. So he sat there, very full and his breath almost stopped.
第四部分

At the time, an old gentleman was coming toward Peter’s seat. Every Thanksgiving Day the old gentleman came there and then led Peter to a restaurant and watched him eating. Feeding Peter once a year was a tradition. “I can give thanks on this day. I'll give you a meal that will surely make your body feel as strong as your mind,” said the old gentleman. Always before those words had been music in Peter's ear. But now he looked up at the old gentleman's face with tears of suffering in his eyes. But the old gentleman didn't see Peter's eyes. Peter wondered why the old gentleman seemed sad as he spoke.
The old gentleman was thin and tall. His hair was whiter and thinner than last year. He had no family and he just thought Peter was his relative. He lived alone in an old house near the park. His eyes were bright with pleasure. Peter finally nodded and accepted the invitation. Peter was too full to eat but he understood that he was a part of the tradition.

The old gentleman led Peter to the same restaurant. He sat at the table silently. Today, it was strange that he kept staring at Peter's food as if he were very hungry. Peter began to eat. The turkey and all the other food were gone almost as quickly as they appeared. Peter saw the look of happiness on the old gentleman's face. After an hour, the big meal was finished.
“Thank you!”Peter said weakly. He stood up heavily and started to go. They said goodbye as they did each year. The old gentleman went away first.

Peter suddenly fell and then was picked up and taken to a hospital. Peter was put on a bed, and a doctor began to try to discover what strange sickness had made him fall.

The two doctors carefully checked the two patients.
第四部分
After finishing examining the two patients, the two doctors met and they talked about the causes of their sickness. Actually, the nice old gentleman had nothing to eat for three days. He was too hungry and almost starved to death. But he managed to save enough money to invite Peter to go to the same restaurant to eat. Meanwhile, Peter was too full and almost died from overeating. They just kept the tradition that every Thanksgiving Day the gentleman invited Peter to eat a big meal. They almost lost their lives for the sake of the tradition, which sounded ridiculous. However, they were friends and found comfort from each other.
