According to historical records, in the Western Han Dynasty, blooming flowers were seen everywhere in ancient Guangzhou, also known as Canton. Many people, whether men or women, wore flowers as decorations(装饰). There were even more varieties of flowers and plants grown in the royal garden owned by Zhao Tuo, the founder of Nanyue Kingdom. During the Tang and Song dynasties, Huadi, the land of flowers in Chinese, located in present-day Fangcun area of Guangzhou, was where Datong Port, a major harbour for foreign trade, lay. Many businessmen from different places brought various flower seeds to the port by sea, turning a large wetland into flower fields. Besides, Cantonese farmers also grew flowers on the farmlands of thirty-three villages located south of the Pearl River. The flower trade also contributed to the boom(繁荣) of Canton, which was the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road(海上丝绸之路). As early as the Western Han Dynasty, people of Lingnan region had sailed to Sri Lanka. In the Tang and Song dynasties, a shipping route of over 14,000 kilometres was established, allowing people to travel to as far as the Persian Gulf. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, several ocean-crossing routes had connected Canton with many other parts of the world. In the period of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Canton was served as the only port open for foreign trade. Starting off from the Lingnan region, all kinds of flowers found their way to the West, including camellia and Chinese rose, which were developed into more varieties in only 300 years. The ancient Maritime Silk Road played a key role in supporting the selling of locally-grown flowers of the Lingnan region to other countries. It also brought special foreign flowers from countries and regions along the route to Canton, which promoted the city's fame for giving people excellent views of blossoms of flowers in all seasons. 1. What's the function of Paragraph 2? A. To introduce the topic. B. To make a comparison. C. To raise readers' interest. D. To support the content above. 2. What was Huadi known for during the Tang and Song dynasties? A. Being a major harbour for foreign trade within China. B. Developing new varieties of flowers in only 300 years. C. Growing various flower seeds brought by businessmen. D. Serving as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. 3. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. The ancient Maritime Silk Road led to the flower trade in Canton. B. Emperor Qianlong paid special attention to Canton's development. C. Canton developed into the starting point of the long world trade route. D. Trade with foreigners decreased to a large degree in the Qing Dynasty. 4. What's the main idea of the text? A. Huadi had an important effect on the development of Canton. B. Canton's economic success roots back to the Western Han Dynasty. C. The long-standing tradition of flower contributed to Canton's history. D. The Maritime Silk Road was formed due to the flower trade in Canton. B Sugar painting, as its name suggests, is made from sugar. It is regarded as both sugar and painting to view or eat. It can be seen in temple fairs, market fairs or in parks. Sugar painting is a kind of folk traditional handicraft (手工艺) which is especially popular in northern China. Boil brown sugar, white sugar and little malt sugar in a fire until it can draw lines. Then the artist scoops up a spoon of the melted (融化的) sugar juice, casting (浇) it quickly back and forth on a stone board to create a shape. The shapes of characters and animals such as dragons, fish, birds, butterflies, Zhang Fei and others attract children's imaginations the most. After finishing, they scoop up the sugar painting with a wide flat blade and attach (固定) it to a bamboo stick. As one symbol of Chinese culture nowadays, sugar painting has been gradually getting more and more attention. Chengdu Sugar Painting has been listed in the "National Intangible Cultural Heritage". Cai Shuquan, born in a sugar painting family in Sichuan Province, has performed sugar painting shows in large Chinese cities and even in foreign countries such as Japan, Germany, Spain and Singapore. Some say sugar painting may date back to the Ming Dynasty. The handicraft then spread and gradually developed among the common folk. Some other people say the unique folk art was created by the great poet Chen Ziang in the Tang Dynasty. He was promoted by the emperor because of his special handicraft of drawing by melted sugar. In order to pay back the emperor, he took some apprentices (徒弟) to pass on the skill after retirement. Spreading from hand to hand, the handicraft of sugar painting was passed down among the people. 5. What can we know about sugar painting? A. It is artistic and practical. B. It hardly appears in fairs. C. It's an art form made by machine. D. It's quite popular in southern China. 6. Which is NOT the step of making sugar painting? A. Heat the sugar in a fire. B.

To introduce a traditional Chinese folk art. C. To present the development of sugar painting. D. To call on people to protect traditional culture.
