Here on the National Mall，I am the only means of communication between the Americans and the artisans(工匠)，who were invited from China to display their talents.They see my awkward hand gestures as I test my mother tongue，speaking Mandarin(普通话) and putting it into English for visitors. The artisans possess exceptional skills.He Guoyao can read thousands of pictographic characters(象形文字) and bears the duty of passing on Dongba culture.Cheng Zhirong creates fantastic animal figures with a spoon and melted sugar in minutes.Standing among them，I wonder about the contributions a 16-year-old girl can make. “Ooh，it’s so pretty！” A young girl sticks her nose close to a sugar dragon.Zhirong，the candy maker，signals to me，and I explain to the girl that the dragon is pure sugar.“Mommy，it’s candy！” she excitedly says.“Beautiful...” The crowd breathes in awe.One woman taps me on the shoulder，saying，“Please，tell her that her work is surreal...a gift from another world.” As Zhirong takes my hand and calls me “little sister”，I find my place in this group of extraordinary people who crossed oceans to build a bridge between different ethnicities and nationalities through sugar sculptures and painted words.I，too，am a bearer of traditions. I smile at Guoyao，as he paints in pictographic characters the English words I have taught him，“You’re welcome.” I come to know that culture is not shelved behind glass cases in museums.It is in the life that I once thought backward and dull—the Chinese way of life that is a part of me. 1．Why does the author attend the Smithsonian Folklife Festival? A．To learn about global traditions. B．To improve her interpersonal skills. C．To interview some talented artisans. D．To appreciate the wonderful artworks. 2．What is the author’s role on the National Mall? A．A visitor. B．A translator. C．A tour guide. D．A security guard. 3．What does the underlined part “in awe” in paragraph 4 mean? A．In doubt. B．In silence. C．In satisfaction. D．In amazement. 4．What does the author realize in the end? A．Culture should be presented in different forms. B．Culture can only be kept alive through exchanges. C．Chinese culture has been part of her own identity. D．Chinese culture has helped her better adapt to her new life. B Many people assume Egypt is，and always has been，a desert.But considering that climates and landscapes can change over time and that humans have been known to change natural environments，was ancient Egypt a desert? The simple answer is no.Not all of Egypt，ancient or modern，qualifies as a desert.Areas near the Nile River tend to be lusher(草木繁茂的)，and Egyptians—in both ancient and modern times—have had a successful system of agriculture.However，the environment has changed over Egypt’s history，and the construction of the Aswan High Dam across the Nile between 1960 and 1970 changed the landscape greatly. Some areas of Egypt that are now desert were wetter in the past.One famous example is the “Cave of Swimmers” in south-western Egypt.Today，the area is very dry，but thousands of years ago，it was wetter，and some of the rock art found in caves in the area appears to show people swimming，according to the British Museum. The Aswan High Dam caused some areas in southern Egypt to flood，leading to the creation of Lake Nasser.Many people had to move，and some archaeological sites ended up underwater.The construction of the dam also ended the natural flooding of the Nile.The creation of Lake Nasser also led to more moisture(水分) in the air in some areas of southern Egypt. One effect of the generally higher Nile River levels during the Bronze Age is that around 2500 BC，when the pyramids at Giza were constructed，the “Khufu branch”，a vanished(消失的) branch of the Nile River，came right next to the pyramids.This branch allowed for materials to be transported to the site by boat，aiding in pyramid construction. The ancient Egyptians who lived by the Nile in some ways viewed themselves as living on an island in the Nile Valley，with the deserts as a sort of great sea. 5．What can we know about “Cave of Swimmers”？ A．It used to be very dry. B．The rock art shows it used to be wet. C．It’s near the British Museum. D．It shows ancient Egyptians loved art. 6．What’s the result of the completion of the Aswan High Dam? A．It saves some Egypt archaeological sites. B．It brings in too much trouble for Egyptians. C．It affects Egypt both positively and negatively. D．It leads to more moisture in the air in the whole Egypt. 7．How did Khufu branch affect Egypt? A．By making Nile River water level higher. B．By helping people build pyramids more easily. C．By making ancient Egyptians live on an island. D．By leading some branches of the Nile River disappear. 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Was Ancient Egypt a Desert? B．Do You Know Deserts in Egypt? C．Was Egypt a Great Country? D．Do You Know Ancient Egypt? 五、七选五(每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Chinese Taikonaut Back on Earth 1．16 October 2003 China’s first astronaut Yang Liwei landed safely this morning in the Shenzhou 5 capsule in Inner Mongolia.
