On the lifestyle platform Xiaohongshu, users share couplets they have written. Instead of poetic wishes, the paired phrases could be numbers, emojis and plain slogans — with “Having money and knowledge; Losing weight and troubles” an often-seen refrain(迭句). These funny couplets have encouraged many people to continue the Spring Festival tradition of hanging couplets and sticking gate-god pictures. Calligraphy, woodcut pictures and traditional paintings also gain in popularity among people born from 1995 to 2010. Another rebounding (复苏的) tradition is wearing hanfu, a traditional garment of the Han people, often worn during festivals. For people born after 1990s, one of the childhood Spring Festival customs was buying new clothes. Some still embrace this tradition as a way to ring in the new year. Dang Hui from Luoyang, took her family for a hanfu family photo shoot. Instead of sitting indoors, they went to ancient-style parks and temple fairs. Some young people also get to know better and become interested in Spring Festival “traditions”, such as visiting temple fairs, flower markets and watching lion dancing. Meng Fan is spending the holidays with her family in Guangzhou and they plan to watch lion dancing, which combines martial arts, folk music and dance. The movements, mimicking lions climbing mountains, jumping across rivers and playing with each other, carry auspicious meanings such as overcoming difficulties and making achievements. Through these new ways to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, older generations pass on traditions while young people gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of the Spring Festival. 1.What can we learn about the young people from paragraph 2?( ) A.They are good at writing poetic slogans. B.They dislike traditional Chinese art forms. C.They are tired of the Spring Festival traditions.

B “Beijing's Forbidden City can be at risk of being flooded, but it's not because modern technologies and repairs have deteriorated the drainage (排水) system,” Beijing News Radio reported. The report is in response to a popular online view: The Forbidden City, the royal palace of Ming and Qing dynasties, also known as the Palace Museum, has never been flooded throughout its history of more than 600 years. Earlier, a video showed ankle-deep water near the Forbidden City's Cining Palace, where the royal women used to live. Some netizens have questioned whether modern drainage repair works have made the system much weaker. Di Yajing, an official in control of affairs relating to the site, told Beijing News Radio that the Forbidden City has a complex (复杂的) drainage system. “Rain coming down from roofs was guided to the basement and then to the drains,” she said, adding that rainwater would flow from the central of the palace to both sides, and from north to south, due to differences in height. “The drains were cleared once a year in springtime in ancient times and nowadays they are cleared three times a year except in winter,” the report said. “Although the number of clearing increased every year, it's not modern technology that worsened the ability of the drainage system,” the report said. During the clearing process, workers found lots of modern objects such as plastic bottles and bags, even towels and clothing, and these things resulted in the blocking of the drainage system. In addition, there are plenty of records that have recorded occasions(情况) in which the palace was flooded and some roofs or walls were damaged by floodwaters, according to the report. For example, a rain in 1885 led to floodwaters of about 1 meter deep. Every time people would have to find out the place of blockage, clear it and then the drainage system would work well right away. 1.What does the underlined word “deteriorated” in paragraph 1 mean?( ) A.Fixed up. B.Caused damage to. C.Taken control of. D.Checked on. 2.Why was the report published?( ) A.To explain a popular view online. B.To praise the Forbidden City's drainage system. C.To introduce the challenge faced by the Forbidden City. D.To stress the effect of technology on protecting old buildings. 3.What might have caused the Forbidden City's being flooded in the video?( ) A.Poor management. B.Buried bricks. C.Pipe cracking. D.Lots of rubbish. 4.What does the report want to say by mentioning the 1885 flood?( ) A.The palace was once destroyed by floods. B.Beijing has experienced many natural disasters. C.The drainage system doesn't always operate perfectly. D.Ancient architecture suffered a lot to survive until today. 六、七选五。 π (Pi) Day falls on March 14.
