The Great Wall, a symbol of ancient civilization, stretches across northern China. Despite its grandeur, 1 remains today is only a part of its former self, due to the wear and damage caused by time and nature. However, a recent discovery reveals that nature 2 might be playing a crucial role in preserving this historical wonder. Thin layers of bacteria and other organisms, known as biocrusts, have been considered 3 (protect) sections of the Great Wall, sheltering it from wind and rain, and other destructive elements. A study published in Science Advances highlights the significant role these “living skins” play in conserving this ancient architectural marvel. 4 advances in technology and research, scientists are now exploring the potential of cultivating new biocrusts to prevent further degradation of the Wall.

These biocrusts vary in form, 9 (range) from thin bacterial networks to thicker layers of lichen (青苔) . Soil scientist Bo Xiao from the China Agricultural University, along with his colleagues, conducted a study to investigate the role of biocrusts in preserving the Great Wall.

This magical story of dreams, death and love was written in 1598. In 2010, Tan Dun created new music and a new setting for the story, breathing fresh life into the opera. The composer hit on the idea of bringing back The Peony Pavilion while sitting in a garden outside of Shanghai one evening: he realized that it would be a perfect setting for the story. Tan Dun 11 music from the original Kun opera and added his own work to these traditional pieces. Of course, the actors still sang in the centuries-old Kun opera style in a high voice. It played to sold-out crowds every weekend for two years. The 12 of Kun opera goes back to the 16th century in Kunshan, when a musician and actor named Wei Liangfu developed a new form of music for theatres. The new opera style soon spread across China for about two centuries. Then in the 1800s, Beijing opera slowly replaced Kun opera as the 13 form of opera. The 14 features of Kun opera are spoken story-telling, singing and dancing,and each character has their own particular style of movement on stage. This includes the way the character stands while speaking, and the way they dance to show their inner 15 or essence. Actors may also be required to perform kung fu during their performance. Given the emphasis on how actors move, Kun operas do not normally have 16 stage sets.Audiences will usually see only a few objects on stage to 17 where a scene is taking place: in a house, in a garden or in a dream. With its characteristic style, UNESCO listed Kun opera among the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2001. Many Kun opera actors and musicians have a great 18 to share this art form with a wider audience. In 2016, they finally found the perfect opportunity: that year marked the 400th anniversary of the death of Tang Xianzu, the writer of The Peony Pavilion among many other works. In addition, 2016 marked the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare. And who could miss the 19 similarities in the love stories of The Peony Pavilion and Romeo and Juliet? To celebrate the anniversary, The Peony Pavilion—The Young Lovers’ Edition was 20 as part of the China-United Kingdom Year of Cultural Exchange. Perhaps Kun opera, “the mother of traditional Chinese opera”, may soon come to a theatre near you, as well. 【答案】 11．A 12．F 13．E 14．D 15．H 16．B 17．K 18．C 19．J 20．I 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了昆曲的起源、特点、衰落与复兴，介绍了相关改编与演出，强调其艺术价值与文化传承。 11．考查动词。句意：谭盾改编了昆曲中的音乐，并在这些传统曲目中加入了自己的作品。根据“music from the original Kun opera and added his own work to these traditional pieces”可知，此处表示改编音乐，adapt“改编”符合题意，描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故选A。 12．考查名词。句意：昆曲的起源可以追溯到16世纪的昆山，当时一位名叫魏良辅的音乐家和演员为剧院开发了一种新的音乐形式。根据“goes back to the 16th century in Kunshan”可知，此处表示昆剧的起源，origin“起源”符合题意。故选F。 13．考查形容词。句意：然后，在19世纪，京剧逐渐取代昆曲成为最受欢迎的戏曲形式。根据“Beijing opera slowly replaced Kun opera”可知，此处表示京剧逐渐取代昆曲成为最受欢迎的戏曲形式，favoured“受喜爱的”符合题意，作定语修饰名词form。故选E。 14．考查形容词。句意：昆曲的显著特点是说故事、唱歌和跳舞，每个角色在舞台上都有自己独特的动作风格。根据“spoken story-telling, singing and dancing”可知，此处表示昆曲的显著特点，distinctive“独特的，显著的”符合题意，作定语修饰名词features。故选D。 15．考查名词。句意：这包括角色说话时的站立方式，以及他们跳舞以展示内心精神或本质的方式。根据“or essence”可知，此处表示内心精神或本质，spirit“精神”符合题意，作show的宾语。故选H。 16．考查形容词。句意：鉴于对演员动作的强调，昆曲通常没有复杂的舞台布景。根据“Given the emphasis on how actors move”可知，此处表示昆曲通常没有复杂的舞台布景，complicated“复杂的”符合题意，作定语修饰名词stage sets。故选B。 17．考查动词。句意：观众通常只会在舞台上看到几个物体来暗示场景发生在哪里：在房子里、花园里还是梦里。根据“where a scene is taking place”可知，此处表示暗示场景发生在哪里，suggest“暗示”符合题意，此处为动词不定式作目的状语。故选K。 18．考查名词。句意：许多昆曲演员和音乐家都渴望与更广泛的观众分享这种艺术形式。根据“to share this art form with a wider audience”可知，此处表示许多昆曲演员和音乐家都渴望与更广泛的观众分享这种艺术形式，desire“渴望”符合题意，作have的宾语。故选C。 19．考查形容词。句意：谁能错过《牡丹亭》和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》爱情故事中惊人的相似之处呢？根据“similarities in the love stories of The Peony Pavilion and Romeo and Juliet”可知，此处表示惊人的相似之处，striking“惊人的”符合题意，作定语修饰名词similarities。故选J。 20．考查动词。句意：为庆祝周年纪念，《牡丹亭——青年情侣版》作为中英文化交流年的一部分上演。根据“The Peony Pavilion—The Young Lovers’ Edition”可知，此处表示《牡丹亭——青年情侣版》上演，stage“上演”符合题意，与主语之间是被动关系，应用过去分词与was构成被动语态。故选I。 三、完形填空 History of tea lasts throughout thousands of years and crosses into various stories. Nowadays, you can buy hundreds of tea varieties to address many physical health issues, as tea is supported by 21 science. However, in ancient times, tea was a philosophical creation, not just a drink — wise men experienced the 22 growth through the drinking of tea. Learning about the history of tea is, 23 , quite fascinating. Unlike some traditional drinks, tea begins with the tale of an emperor in China, almost 5000 years ago. Around 2700 BC, Emperor Shen Nong discovered tea purely 24 . The well-known leader and wise man was boiling water in his garden when a loose leaf from a tree accidentally fell in and 25 the water. He was so fascinated with the taste of drink that he later applied his scientific knowledge to the process and 26 the various benefits of tea in his further research into plants. From ancient China, tea traveled to Xizang and India. Tang Dynasty in China began to promote the drink for its medicinal benefits, leading to much formal writing on the subject. These 27 covered ancient tea preparations and practices, and became significant comparisons to how we use tea in the modern days. Monks (僧侣) and poets 28 tea East and West.

As the British East India Company became the 33 trading empire on the planet — controlling around half of the world’s trade in goods, colonies (殖民地) under its administration naturally picked up the habit. History of tea also involves a way of showing 34 . The Americans once expressed their anger with the British Empire by throwing tea into the port in Boston.

I am greeted by the attractive scent of roasted charcoal (木炭) mixed with rich dark chocolate. Finding a decent place to drink tea has taken me a while, but the search was well worth it. In 1909, the city of Chengdu was home to 454 teahouses spread out among its 516 streets and alleys. However, tea shops are much less popular these days. In fact, you’re more likely to chance upon a stylish coffee shop in some parts of the city. Even in a proper teahouse, customers seem to care more about playing mahjong and less about enjoying their cups of tea. A beverage that dates back for millennia, tea has even been discovered in Han dynasty tombs. It wasn’t until the Tang dynasty that Lu Yu, known as the Sage of Tea (茶圣), penned the first book about the beverage, The Classic of Tea (茶经). Although tea faces fierce competition from today’s numerous contemporary and imported drinks, some young tea lovers in Chengdu are attempting to revive China’s traditional tea-drinking culture. Proper Tea is among this group. I order a rock oolong, a charcoal-roasted oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains. Co-owner Wu Qiong serves me my brew in the traditional kung fu style, which literally means “making tea with skill”. It’s a slow tea ceremony whose aim is to make the most flavorful and enjoyable tea possible. The teahouse also boasts a virtual community for whom co-owner Qiao Jie regularly hosts live tutorials. She spends these sessions educating her viewers on the nuances (差别) of tea and the kung fu tea ceremony. In fact, my visit coincided with one of her live streams. After having finished her video, Qiao invited me and several of her regulars to sip tea together outside of her shop. Loyal customer Tang tells me that she is drawn to Proper Tea’s close community and homey environment. “The owners are friendly and know their tea. They’ve created a clean and cozy space here,” says the 20-something. For the next two hours, we have a pleasant talk about Chinese tea culture. As we wrap up our conversation, I am suddenly reminded of a Chinese idiom, yi cha hui you, which literally means to “make friends through tea”. Sure enough, tea is more than a thirst drink in China it is a social bond and connection too. I leave the teahouse with a bag of tea and several new friends. 36．Which of the following statements about Proper Tea is true? A．It is an old store with a long history in Chengdu. B．It is one of the most stylish teahouses in Chengdu. C．The most popular product in the shop is its oolong tea. D．The teahouse has been gaining in popularity among young people. 37．Paragraph 3 mainly talks about _________. A．what it is that people usually do in teahouses B．what kind of shop is more profitable in Chengdu C．the reason why teahouses are not popular in Chengdu D．indications that teahouses have become less popular in Chengdu 38．What are the ways in which Proper Tea is attempting to revive China’s traditional tea-drinking culture? ①By inviting guests to try their hand at making tea. ②By practicing tea ceremonies in front of its customers. ③By regularly hosting live-streamed lectures on tea culture. ④By holding discussions about tea culture with its customers while enjoying tea together. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 39．Which of the following words best describes the author’s feeling while at Proper Tea? A．Pleased. B．Concerned. C．Indifferent. D．Disappointed. 【答案】36．D 37．D 38．D 39．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在成都一家名为Proper Tea的茶馆的所见所闻，以及茶馆为复兴中国传统茶文化所做的努力。 36．细节理解题。根据第五段“Although tea faces fierce competition from today’s numerous contemporary and imported drinks, some young tea lovers in Chengdu are attempting to revive China’s traditional tea-drinking culture. Proper Tea is among this group.(尽管茶面临着来自当今众多现代和进口饮料的激烈竞争，但成都的一些年轻茶爱好者正试图复兴中国的传统茶文化。Proper Tea就是其中之一)”可知，Proper Tea在年轻人中越来越受欢迎。故选D项。 37．主旨大意题。根据第三段“In fact, you’re more likely to chance upon a stylish coffee shop in some parts of the city. Even in a proper teahouse, customers seem to care more about playing mahjong and less about enjoying their cups of tea.(事实上，在城市的某些地方，你更有可能偶然发现一家时尚的咖啡店。即使在一家像样的茶馆里，顾客似乎也更关心打麻将，而不是享受他们的茶)”可知，第三段主要讲的是茶馆在成都变得不那么受欢迎的迹象。故选D项。 38．细节理解题。根据第六段中“Co-owner Wu Qiong serves me my brew in the traditional kung fu style, which literally means “making tea with skill”. It’s a slow tea ceremony whose aim is to make the most flavorful and enjoyable tea possible.(联合老板吴琼用传统的功夫茶方式为我泡茶，从字面上看，“功夫”就是“有技巧地泡茶”。这是一种缓慢的茶道，目的是泡出最美味、最享受的茶)”，第七段中“The teahouse also boasts a virtual community for whom co-owner Qiao Jie regularly hosts live tutorials. She spends these sessions educating her viewers on the nuances of tea and the kung fu tea ceremony.(茶馆还拥有一个虚拟社区，联合老板乔洁定期为社区成员举办现场教学。她利用这些时间向观众传授茶的细微差别和功夫茶道)”以及第八段中“After having finished her video, Qiao invited me and several of her regulars to sip tea together outside of her shop.(录完视频后，乔邀请我和她的几位常客到店外一起喝茶)”可知，Proper Tea通过在顾客面前表演茶道、定期举办茶文化直播讲座以及与顾客一起品茶讨论茶文化等方式，试图复兴中国的传统茶文化，即②③④符合题意。故选D项。 39．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“For the next two hours, we have a pleasant talk about Chinese tea culture. As we wrap up our conversation, I am suddenly reminded of a Chinese idiom, yi cha hui you, which literally means to “make friends through tea”.(在接下来的两个小时里，我们就中国茶文化进行了愉快的交谈。当我们结束谈话时，我突然想起了一句中国成语“以茶会友”，字面意思是“通过茶交朋友”)”和最后一段“Sure enough, tea is more than a thirst drink in China it is a social bond and connection too. I leave the teahouse with a bag of tea and several new friends.(果然，茶在中国不仅仅是一种解渴饮料，它也是一种社会纽带和联系。我带着一袋茶和几个新朋友离开了茶馆)”可推知，作者在Proper Tea通过茶交到朋友，有愉快的经历。故选A项。 B An Introduction to Tai Chi As an ancient Chinese practice, tai chi may seem foreign and even intimidating (吓人的) in some people’s eyes. Perhaps their only experience with tai chi is watching video clips or seeing photos of large groups of Chinese people doing tai chi in park, which means they are missing out on myriad benefits that tai chi has to offer. Mind-body exercises, such as tai chi and yoga, have been gaining popularity worldwide over the past few decades. 43 Their benefits range from lowering blood pressure and managing depression to building strength and improving balance. There is even evidence that tai chi may help you live a longer, more vital life. Given these findings, though tai chi is often described a “meditation in motion”, it might well be called “medication and motion”. 44 For example, you need to act like “white crane spreads its wings”, or practice moves such as “box both ears”. As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, focusing your attention — as in some kinds of meditation — on your bodily sensations. 45 The movements are usually circular and never forced, the muscles are relaxed rather than tensed, the joints are not fully extended or bent, and connective tissues are not stretched. Tai chi can be easily adapted for anyone, from the most fit to people confined to wheelchairs or recovering from surgery. 46 An adjunct therapy is one that’s used together with primary medical treatments, either to address a disease itself or its primary symptoms, or, more generally, to improve a patient’s functioning and quality of life. According to research, tai chi can support the medical treatment for the prevention and recovered of many conditions commonly associated with age. A．Tai chi differs from other types of exercise in several respects. B．The benefits of tai chi are generally greatest if you begin before you develop a long-term illness. C．This is not surprising, considering the increasing number of studies on the positive effects of these gentler forms of exercise. D．This gentle form of exercise can help maintain strength, flexibility, and balance. E．A growing body of carefully conducted research is building a convincing case for tai chi as an adjunct to standard medical treatment.

Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. China’s Film Industry Finally Joins the Space Race China was a latecomer to space exploration, and in the movies, it has been a latecomer to science fiction, too. But that is about to change. The country’s first blockbuster set in space. “The Wandering Earth,” opens Tuesday amid grandiose expectations that it will represent the dawning of a new era in Chinese film making. “The Wandering Earth,” shown in 3-D, takes place in a distant future in which the sun is about to expand into a red giant and devour the Earth. Therefore, earth’s governments rally and come up with a novel solution: they speckle the planet with 10,000 gigantic jets, and blast it out of its orbit and off on a hundred-generation journey to a new home 4.2 light-years away. However, a malfunction of the Earth Engine system leaves the planet caught in Jupiter’s gravity, and gradually being pulled toward destruction. A frantic group of workers have to scramble to reactivate the jets and correct the Earth’s course. So far, the reviews have been positive. “Filmmakers in China see science fiction as a holy grail,” said Raymond, an independent critic, who noted that Hollywood had set the technological standards, and thus audience expectations, very high. “The Wandering Earth” is adapted from works by Liu CiXin, the writer who has led a renaissance in science fiction here, becoming the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award for the genre in 2015. His novels are sprawling epics and deeply researched. That makes them plausible fantasies about humanity’s encounters with a dangerous universe. The openings also come as China reached a milestone in space: the landing of a probe on the far side of the moon in January. Although decades behind Russia and the United States, China has now put astronauts in orbit and has ambitious plans to join — or even lead — a new age of space exploration. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The Wandering Earth, China’s first major film set in space, has been received positively, signaling a new era of Chinese filmmaking.

The Great Wall, a symbol of ancient civilization, stretches across northern China. Despite its grandeur, 1 remains today is only a part of its former self, due to the wear and damage caused by time and nature. However, a recent discovery reveals that nature 2 might be playing a crucial role in preserving this historical wonder. Thin layers of bacteria and other organisms, known as biocrusts, have been considered 3 (protect) sections of the Great Wall, sheltering it from wind and rain, and other destructive elements. A study published in Science Advances highlights the significant role these “living skins” play in conserving this ancient architectural marvel. 4 advances in technology and research, scientists are now exploring the potential of cultivating new biocrusts to prevent further degradation of the Wall. Nichole Barger, an ecologist, praises the study as “innovative and creative”, noting that the protective effects of biocrusts 5 (gain) increasing recognition in recent years. It is acknowledged that dryland ecosystems 6 (stabilize) and soil erosion (侵蚀) is prevented by these biological layers. 7 the more famous sections of the Great Wall are constructed from stones or bricks, other parts were built using packed soil. Yet, the same packed soils can also host biocrusts, 8 cover about 12% of the Earth’s land surface, particularly in dry regions like northern China. These biocrusts vary in form, 9 (range) from thin bacterial networks to thicker layers of lichen (青苔) . Soil scientist Bo Xiao from the China Agricultural University, along with his colleagues, conducted a study to investigate the role of biocrusts in preserving the Great Wall. Their research revealed that biocrusts, primarily 10 (compose) of moss or bacteria, covered more than two-thirds of the Wall’s surface in the areas they examined. By studying the physical properties, they made a significant discovery. 二、选词填空 Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.

This magical story of dreams, death and love was written in 1598. In 2010, Tan Dun created new music and a new setting for the story, breathing fresh life into the opera. The composer hit on the idea of bringing back The Peony Pavilion while sitting in a garden outside of Shanghai one evening: he realized that it would be a perfect setting for the story. Tan Dun 11 music from the original Kun opera and added his own work to these traditional pieces. Of course, the actors still sang in the centuries-old Kun opera style in a high voice. It played to sold-out crowds every weekend for two years. The 12 of Kun opera goes back to the 16th century in Kunshan, when a musician and actor named Wei Liangfu developed a new form of music for theatres. The new opera style soon spread across China for about two centuries. Then in the 1800s, Beijing opera slowly replaced Kun opera as the 13 form of opera. The 14 features of Kun opera are spoken story-telling, singing and dancing,and each character has their own particular style of movement on stage. This includes the way the character stands while speaking, and the way they dance to show their inner 15 or essence. Actors may also be required to perform kung fu during their performance. Given the emphasis on how actors move, Kun operas do not normally have 16 stage sets.Audiences will usually see only a few objects on stage to 17 where a scene is taking place: in a house, in a garden or in a dream. With its characteristic style, UNESCO listed Kun opera among the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2001. Many Kun opera actors and musicians have a great 18 to share this art form with a wider audience. In 2016, they finally found the perfect opportunity: that year marked the 400th anniversary of the death of Tang Xianzu, the writer of The Peony Pavilion among many other works. In addition, 2016 marked the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare. And who could miss the 19 similarities in the love stories of The Peony Pavilion and Romeo and Juliet? To celebrate the anniversary, The Peony Pavilion—The Young Lovers’ Edition was 20 as part of the China-United Kingdom Year of Cultural Exchange. Perhaps Kun opera, “the mother of traditional Chinese opera”, may soon come to a theatre near you, as well. 三、完形填空 History of tea lasts throughout thousands of years and crosses into various stories. Nowadays, you can buy hundreds of tea varieties to address many physical health issues, as tea is supported by 21 science. However, in ancient times, tea was a philosophical creation, not just a drink — wise men experienced the 22 growth through the drinking of tea. Learning about the history of tea is, 23 , quite fascinating. Unlike some traditional drinks, tea begins with the tale of an emperor in China, almost 5000 years ago. Around 2700 BC, Emperor Shen Nong discovered tea purely 24 . The well-known leader and wise man was boiling water in his garden when a loose leaf from a tree accidentally fell in and 25 the water. He was so fascinated with the taste of drink that he later applied his scientific knowledge to the process and 26 the various benefits of tea in his further research into plants. From ancient China, tea traveled to Xizang and India. Tang Dynasty in China began to promote the drink for its medicinal benefits, leading to much formal writing on the subject. These 27 covered ancient tea preparations and practices, and became significant comparisons to how we use tea in the modern days. Monks (僧侣) and poets 28 tea East and West. And then in the 9th century it reached Japan. But it was given the cold shoulder and stayed 29 until Matcha, green tea made into powder, was later invented by the locals. And Matcha became the innovation that 30 Japan’s passion for tea in the 13th century. In Ming Dynasty, people started making tea as we do today and businessmen began 31 green tea, trading it with explorers throughout Europe and Asia. In the 17th century, Dutch people traded it on the Silk Road. This led tea to England in 1657, where it quickly became a popular drink nationwide, from the royal court to 32 citizens. As the British East India Company became the 33 trading empire on the planet — controlling around half of the world’s trade in goods, colonies (殖民地) under its administration naturally picked up the habit. History of tea also involves a way of showing 34 . The Americans once expressed their anger with the British Empire by throwing tea into the port in Boston. Yet sometime later, through Tea Acts, preferential tax policies, new health food trends and more, tea restored its popularity worldwide. However the world shifts, in some places, such as China, tea 35 the national drink of choice. 21．A．astonishing B．groundbreaking C．environmental D．medicinal 22．A．spiritual B．fundamental C．financial D．biological 23．A．in contrast B．therefore C．for instance D．however 24．A．on purpose B．by chance C．with effort D．in secret 25．A．polluted B．purified C．flavored D．colored 26．A．buried B．calculated C．uncovered D．popularized 27．A．documents B．demonstrations C．tendencies D．theories 28．A．improved B．consumed C．sweetened D．spread 29．A．welcome B．bitter C．controversial D．inactive 30．A．blocked B．awakened C．promoted D．suspended 31．A．giving up B．tearing down C．dealing in D．sorting out 32．A．global B．senior C．plain D．urban 33．A．stylish B．dominant C．united D．undignified 34．A．progresses B．drawbacks C．approval D．opposition 35．A．remains B．turns C．replaces D．overtakes 四、阅读理解 A On a sunny day in Chengdu, I walk into Proper Tea, a small but welcoming teahouse. I am greeted by the attractive scent of roasted charcoal (木炭) mixed with rich dark chocolate. Finding a decent place to drink tea has taken me a while, but the search was well worth it. In 1909, the city of Chengdu was home to 454 teahouses spread out among its 516 streets and alleys. However, tea shops are much less popular these days. In fact, you’re more likely to chance upon a stylish coffee shop in some parts of the city. Even in a proper teahouse, customers seem to care more about playing mahjong and less about enjoying their cups of tea. A beverage that dates back for millennia, tea has even been discovered in Han dynasty tombs. It wasn’t until the Tang dynasty that Lu Yu, known as the Sage of Tea (茶圣), penned the first book about the beverage, The Classic of Tea (茶经). Although tea faces fierce competition from today’s numerous contemporary and imported drinks, some young tea lovers in Chengdu are attempting to revive China’s traditional tea-drinking culture. Proper Tea is among this group. I order a rock oolong, a charcoal-roasted oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains. Co-owner Wu Qiong serves me my brew in the traditional kung fu style, which literally means “making tea with skill”. It’s a slow tea ceremony whose aim is to make the most flavorful and enjoyable tea possible. The teahouse also boasts a virtual community for whom co-owner Qiao Jie regularly hosts live tutorials. She spends these sessions educating her viewers on the nuances (差别) of tea and the kung fu tea ceremony. In fact, my visit coincided with one of her live streams. After having finished her video, Qiao invited me and several of her regulars to sip tea together outside of her shop. Loyal customer Tang tells me that she is drawn to Proper Tea’s close community and homey environment. “The owners are friendly and know their tea. They’ve created a clean and cozy space here,” says the 20-something. For the next two hours, we have a pleasant talk about Chinese tea culture. As we wrap up our conversation, I am suddenly reminded of a Chinese idiom, yi cha hui you, which literally means to “make friends through tea”. Sure enough, tea is more than a thirst drink in China it is a social bond and connection too. I leave the teahouse with a bag of tea and several new friends. 36．Which of the following statements about Proper Tea is true? A．It is an old store with a long history in Chengdu. B．It is one of the most stylish teahouses in Chengdu. C．The most popular product in the shop is its oolong tea. D．The teahouse has been gaining in popularity among young people. 37．Paragraph 3 mainly talks about _________. A．what it is that people usually do in teahouses B．what kind of shop is more profitable in Chengdu C．the reason why teahouses are not popular in Chengdu D．indications that teahouses have become less popular in Chengdu 38．What are the ways in which Proper Tea is attempting to revive China’s traditional tea-drinking culture? ①By inviting guests to try their hand at making tea. ②By practicing tea ceremonies in front of its customers. ③By regularly hosting live-streamed lectures on tea culture. ④By holding discussions about tea culture with its customers while enjoying tea together. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 39．Which of the following words best describes the author’s feeling while at Proper Tea? A．Pleased. B．Concerned. C．Indifferent. D．Disappointed. B An Introduction to Tai Chi As an ancient Chinese practice, tai chi may seem foreign and even intimidating (吓人的) in some people’s eyes. Perhaps their only experience with tai chi is watching video clips or seeing photos of large groups of Chinese people doing tai chi in park, which means they are missing out on myriad benefits that tai chi has to offer. Mind-body exercises, such as tai chi and yoga, have been gaining popularity worldwide over the past few decades. 43 Their benefits range from lowering blood pressure and managing depression to building strength and improving balance. There is even evidence that tai chi may help you live a longer, more vital life. Given these findings, though tai chi is often described a “meditation in motion”, it might well be called “medication and motion”. 44 For example, you need to act like “white crane spreads its wings”, or practice moves such as “box both ears”. As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, focusing your attention — as in some kinds of meditation — on your bodily sensations. 45 The movements are usually circular and never forced, the muscles are relaxed rather than tensed, the joints are not fully extended or bent, and connective tissues are not stretched. Tai chi can be easily adapted for anyone, from the most fit to people confined to wheelchairs or recovering from surgery. 46 An adjunct therapy is one that’s used together with primary medical treatments, either to address a disease itself or its primary symptoms, or, more generally, to improve a patient’s functioning and quality of life. According to research, tai chi can support the medical treatment for the prevention and recovered of many conditions commonly associated with age. A．Tai chi differs from other types of exercise in several respects. B．The benefits of tai chi are generally greatest if you begin before you develop a long-term illness. C．This is not surprising, considering the increasing number of studies on the positive effects of these gentler forms of exercise. D．This gentle form of exercise can help maintain strength, flexibility, and balance. E．A growing body of carefully conducted research is building a convincing case for tai chi as an adjunct to standard medical treatment. F．In this low-impact, slow-motion exercise, you go without pausing through a series of motions named for animal actions or martial arts moves. 五、概要写作 Directions: Read the following passage.
