The bell and drum towers in Xi’an are symbols of the city’s rich past and are among the largest and best-preserved (保存最完好的) of their kind in China. The Bell Tower sits at the very center of Xi’an.

Inside the tower, there is a small museum that houses a huge bell as well as some handwritten records on the history of the tower. The Drum Tower is about 200 meters to the northwest of the Bell Tower. It is a small building. It lies next to a busy street where many restaurants and shops are located. It was built 4 years earlier than the Bell Tower. It is also one of the largest drum towers in China, with a height of 34 meters. There is a square sitting between the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower.

B After Mary’s parents’ death, she went to her uncle’s house by train. Mary looked out of the window. Everything outside was grey. It was raining. She looked at the rain for a long time and soon she was asleep. The next two days it rained, so Mary couldn’t go outside. Then, on the third morning, when she opened her eyes and looked out of the window, she had a big surprise. She called to Martha, “Martha! Come and look at the moor!” There was no wind or rain and the sky was deep blue. “Yes,” said Martha with a smile. “The spring’s coming.” After breakfast, Martha went to visit her mother for the day. Mary felt lonely in the house without her. So she went outside into the bright sunshine. Ben was in the vegetable garden. He didn’t look angry that day so she went to speak to him. “The spring’s coming,” he said to her. The robin (知更鸟) appeared and sat on the ground near them. “Is spring coming in the secret garden, too?” Mary asked Ben, “Or are all the flowers dead?” “No one can go in. Ask the robin,” said Ben, “He’s the only one who knows.” And he went back to work. The robin was jumping around on the ground. Mary was watching it when she saw something on the earth. It was an old key. “The key to the secret garden!” She shouted excitedly. The next morning, Mary walked around the big garden. Then she saw the robin sitting on a long branch (树枝) of the wall. He chirped. Mary went up to him. “You showed me the key yesterday,” she said. “Can you show me the door today?” The robin flew to the top of the wall and began to sing loudly.

C In 1972, Richard Sears, a young American began learning Chinese because of his interest in traditional Chinese culture. Drawn to the ancient language, he went to China to study Chinese in the 1990s. In 1994, Richard Sears decided to put the ancient Chinese characters online. Then, in 2002, he did it. That is the beginning of the Chinese Etymology (汉字字源) website. “My website did not get much attention for the next few years. Until one day in 2011, it suddenly got a lot of attention. I got a few thousand emails, and a few million visitors and people started calling me ‘Uncle Hanzi’,” Sears said with a smile. Hanzi means Chinese characters. He has put more than 96,000 ancient Chinese characters onto the website. “When I study each character, I wonder what the ancient Chinese thought,” said Sears. After visiting many Chinese cities, Sears learned more about China and ancient Chinese culture. He said when he came to China in the last century, few Chinese could speak good English. “However, you can hear English in many places in China now. Chinese language and culture were mysterious and not known by people in most countries then, but now, more and more people in the world are learning Chinese, even Chinese history, traditional Chinese medicine and so on,” Sears added. At present the 70-year-old American has made his home in China. “When I die, I hope my website will live on; and I’m planning to write a book about my research. This will be my gift to China,” he said. 32. What does “Drawn to the ancient language” mean in Paragraph1? A. Sears was interested in ancient Chinese. B. Sears had to study Chinese characters. C. Sears could draw Chinese characters well. D. Sears could speak ancient Chinese very well. 33. What did Sears put on the Chinese Etymology website? A. Chinese history. B. Ancient Chinese characters.

A. Great Changes in China B. Mysterious Chinese Language and Culture C. American “Uncle Hanzi” D.

(茉莉花) What a pretty Jasmine flower! Nice to see and nice to smell! Praiseworthy scent, and white as well!” Have you ever heard of this famous song, Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower)? Mo Li Hua is a Chinese folk song from Jiangsu Province. The song is so well-known that the jasmine flower became the Provincial Flower of Jiangsu in 2007. It was one of the first Chinese folk songs to be liked by people outside China. The song describes a custom of giving jasmine flowers, popular in the south of the Yangtze River delta region. As time goes by, Mo Li Hua is popular both in China and abroad. The song made its first appearance in the 18th century. It was created during the Qianlong period (1735-1796) of the Qing dynasty. In 1896, the song was used as the national anthem by the Qing Chinese officials in Europe. In 1982, the song found a place on a UNESCO list of recommended songs and was put into the musical textbooks in Asia. When Hong Kong and Macau came back to China in 1997 and 1999, this music was played in the ceremonies. An adaptation (改编) by Tan Dun and Wang Hesheng was played during the medal ceremonies at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. In 2018, with Second Farewell to Cambridge by the famous Chinese poet Xu Zhimo, Mo Li Hua was sung in Chinese by the King’s College Choir (合唱团) in Cambridge University. In its 500-year history, no other Chinese songs have ever been recorded. On the evening of February 15, 2022, Wang Yaping played part of the popular music Mo Li Hua on Shenzhou-13 to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The song expresses sincere and simple feelings of the Chinese people. People describe the music as “heart-touching”. It is such a beautiful song that it almost stands for China abroad.

But different people have different ideas about it. 30% of students think it is helpful. They say it saves time so they don’t have to stay up late, helps them learn better methods, and checks answers. However, 70% disagree. They believe it prevents them from improving their abilities and developing their thinking skills and makes them less confident in themselves. In my opinion, we should think carefully before searching online. First, trying to solve problems by ourselves improves our thinking ability. Second, asking teachers or classmates can help us understand better. We should use the Internet wisely, not just for answers. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
