In Chinese culture, the snake is an important role, but its symbolic (象征性的) meanings have changed over time.
In the mythic (神话的) geography book Classic of Mountains and Seas (《山海经》), many gods are shown holding snakes, hanging them around their ears, or having the body of a snake as a mark of their special abilities.
As snakes are often found in underground caves, they are often believed to be connected to the dead, who are buried underground, according to Han Ding, an associate professor of archaeology at Henan University. Pieces of pottery found in an old city from the early Shang Dynasty (around 16th~11th century BC), which is now Zhengzhou, have pictures of a human head inside the mouths of snakes. Han added that by placing a human head within the mouths of snakes, people performed a ceremonial (仪式上的) death, allowing communication with their ancestors in the afterlife.
From the Shang Dynasty at the latest, people thought the universe was organized in levels, with gods in heaven, humans on earth and the underworld as the land of the dead. People wanted to go beyond these limits and show respect for their ancestors, so they believed the snake had the qualities they were looking for. They observed the snake digging from the earth into the underworld and considered it as a bridge between the living, the dead and the gods.
During the Han Dynasty (206 BC~AD 220), snakes were often seen in designs connected to xuanwu, a mythical creature from Chinese stories that looks like a mix of a snake and a tortoise. In later dynasties, snakes appeared less often in cultural relics but remained one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac (生肖).
Having lived on earth for more than 100 million years, the snake has always been part of Chinese culture and life. “Changing from the Neolithic era (新石器时代), snakes served as bridges between humans and gods and finally became a zodiac symbol for the common folk. The cultural significance tied to snakes has only grown richer, continuing into modern times,” said Wang Fang, deputy director of the Jinsha Site Museum in Chengdu.
14．Why are snakes often connected to the dead in Chinese culture, according to Han Ding
A．Snakes are believed to carry the souls of the dead. B．Snakes are buried alongside the dead.
C．Snakes live in underground caves. D．Snakes are seen as dangerous creatures.
15．How did people in the Shang Dynasty view snakes
A．As protectors of the underworld. B．As creatures with special powers.
C．As symbols of their ancestors. D．As bridges between different worlds.
16．What is Wang Fang’s view on the future of the snake’s cultural importance
A．Worried. B．Hopeful. C．Doubtful. D．Uncertain.
Yingge dance has just become more popular. During the past Spring Festival, a team of Yingge dancers from South China’s Guangdong Province amazed people in London. The sound of drums, gongs and shouts echoed (回响) throughout London’s streets. It is the first time that the Yingge dance, a national cultural heritage (文化遗产) in China, has been performed overseas.
A viewer named Lucy said, “Watching the dance was like stepping into a different world with the vivid colors, the lively expressions of the dancers. We don’t get to see things like that here. I was left in amazement by the ancient dance.” “We’ve waited for 300 years for the dance group to come to Europe. I have to say, it was well worth the wait. It has stood out,” said another.
Meaningfully translated as the “Songs of Heroes” dance, the 300-year-old dance rose from Chaozhou—Shantou region in Guangdong. Based on the stories of the 108 heroes of Liangshan Mountain from the classic novel Outlaws of the Marsh, with Shuihu Zhuan as its Chinese name, this folk art mixes a variety of forms, from martial (军事的) arts and Chinese opera to dance.
The lead dancer, “Shi Qian”, holds a snake in his hands, whose style of dancing is thought to drive off ghosts. Other performers each dress as one of the 108 heroes. They also wear different opera-style makeups, according to their roles. Dancers wave a pair of short sticks and make powerful movements. They hit the sticks together now and then while walking and dancing.
The coach, Chen Laifa, is a national-level inheritor of Yingge dance. ① “When it first appeared 300 years ago, Yingge was a celebration of the success of goodness over evil, and nowadays it is seen as a peace messenger,” said Chen. “We would like to make this spirit known to the British people and, at the same time, as the spreading of our culture.”
17．Where does Yingge dance come from
A．North China. B．London streets. C．Overseas. D．Guangdong Province.
18．Why did Lucy say that they had waited for 300 years
A．To show how she loved Yingge Dance. B．To tell how old the city of London was.
C．To express how strange Yingge Dance was. D．To show how different Yingge Dance looked.

Run-down buildings, rotted doors, rusty (生锈的) machines...this is how you might picture an old industrial site. But many of them now have a new look in China.
Shougang Industrial Park in Beijing is now a famous and popular culture and sports site. However, it used to be a steel mill that was built in 1919. It once housed 60,000 workers and made more than 10 million tons of iron and steel. To protect the environment, however, the mill slowly reduced its production from 2005 until it closed in 2010.
With the government’s support, the old mill has been reborn. Cafes, bookstores, hotels, and offices now fill Shougang’s warehouses and blast furnaces (高炉). Self-driving cars move around the place for testing. And during the 2022 Winter Games, Olympic athletes flew down the Big Air Ramp, which is now in front of Shougang’s former (之前的) cooling towers.
Xu Zhaolin, from Beijing, visits the industrial park a lot. “It’s hard to imagine that the park was a steel mill in the past,” said the 24-year-old. “It feels like you’ve come into a sci-fi game. The photos I took there look like cyberpunk (赛博朋克)!”
Old factories and workshops across the country are like a book on the history of Chinese manufacturing (制造业). Giving new life to them through protection and development is important for driving cities’ innovation and development, noted People’s Daily.
54．What did Shougang Industrial Park use to be
55．Why did Shougang close in 2010
