Chinese people love food made of flour, whether it be dumplings, or flatbread. In the hands of skilled artisans(手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure. This art form is called dough figurine(面塑). Among the various art styles of dough figurines, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city. Their delicate and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产).
It was created by Lang Shao’an. Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas. The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for display. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while some are delicate pieces of artwork for display only. For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives(添加剂)to prevent them from breaking up, being eaten by insects or growing moldy. Over the course of his long career, Lang Shao’an developed a set of skilled fingers with an elegant artistic sense.
Lang Jiaziyu, born in 1995, is the third-generation inheritor of Dough Figurine Lang. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascot-shaped dough figurines which were highly praised. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans. In his skilled hands, pop culture icons such as figures based on Marvel comics characters and Chinese mythological figure Nezha with smoky makeup, are resonating with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Many young people are unwilling to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.
24. Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines
A. To make dough figurines taste good. B. To better preserve the finished products.
C. To help shape dough into various forms. D. To keep colors brighter and last longer.
25. Which of the following is close in meaning of the underlined phrase
A. are ignored by. B. are familiar with.
C. are concerned with. D. are well accepted by.
26. What is the best title of the passage
A. A Traditional Chinese Culture. B. History and Customs of Beijing.
C. Dough Figurine and Its Inheritance. D. An Intangible Cultural Heritage.
27. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To appeal to people to value this folk art. B. To call on people to master a skill.
C. To teach people ways to appreciate the handicraft. D. To persuade people to protect national cultural heritage.
C
Wildlife corridors are like safe highways for animals. These untouched areas let species move about freely to feed, breed, and migrate (迁徙) without disturbance from humans. The Vital Ground Foundation and Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) bought 80 acres in northwestern Montana. The area was bought from a landowner committed to protecting open spaces over development. The area will be used to maintain wildlife habitats for species throughout the state’s northwestern corner and is particularly important for grizzly bears.
“In 2015, new science on grizzly bear connectivity identified this area as one of a few remaining connection points for grizzly bears in northwest Montana,” says Grossman, U.S. program manager for Y2Y. “Last year, the opportunity became available to work with the landowner in the area. With the rapid development of the real estate (房地产) market, we knew we needed to act quickly.”
“At the local area, this project conserves open spaces for wildlife movement,” Grossman says. She points out that grizzly bears are an umbrella species. This means that if they are doing well, most other wildlife in the ecosystem is also doing well. Bears can help us conserve habitats for a full range of plants and animals that make a functioning ecosystem that all of us need to survive. That is why this project focuses on the needs of bears.
It often becomes more difficult to preserve wildlife corridors like these. In Montana where this land has been purchased, property values have increased and land has been sold and developed quickly. Once development happens, it’s harder to conserve land and keep areas connected. “However, this change in the real estate market has led to some landowners reflecting on their values and vision for the community. In this way, it creates an opportunity for us to be able to work with people who want to see these areas remain high quality wildlife habitats, rural and undeveloped,” Grossman says.
28. Why did the authorities buy the land in northwestern Montana
A. To help develop the local economy. B. To construct highways in rural areas.
C. To better preserve wildlife habitats. D. To prevent endangered species migrating.
29. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. To explain a natural phenomenon. B. To add some background information.
C. To provide some advice for readers. D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
30. Why does this project concentrate on protecting grizzly bears
A. Their population has declined sharply. B. They play a key role in the ecosystem.
C. They affect living habits of other wildlife. D. Human activities harm them seriously.
31. What affects wildlife corridors according to Paragraph 4
A. Land development. B. Community structure.
C. Damaged ecosystem D. Geographic locations.
D
Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today. Unlike their relatives, such as the polar bear, pandas don’t eat meat but survive on a diet of only bamboo. So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet
Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12. 5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic (新陈代谢的)，lazy lifestyle to
make up for the poor energy return.
The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change.
Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To assist with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb” (伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize object such as bamboo in one paw quickly. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo.
Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. Whatever the future holds, we can be grateful that, for the time being, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals.
Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To show the ineffectiveness of digestive system. B.To represent the evolutionary rule of pandas.
C.To describe the changes of living environment. D.To illustrate the variety of food.
What caused pandas’ change in diet
A.The low-metabolic ability. B.The amino acids in meat.
C. The Taslrl gene’s inactivation. D. The supplies of bamboo.
What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Developing more fingers. B. The low energy return.
C. Seizing bamboo shoots. D. The vegetarian diet.
Which aspect of pandas does paragraph 4 focus on
A.The preference for bamboo. B.The special appearance.
C.The unique lifestyle. D.The evolutionary feature in eating.

Workout fads (狂热) come and go, but virtually no other exercise program is as lasting as yoga（瑜伽）. It originated from India and it’s been around for more than 5,000 years. 36
37 Yoga does more than burn calories and tone muscles. It’s a total mind-body workout that combines strengthening and stretching poses with deep breathing and meditation or relaxation. Research shows yoga can help manage stress, improve mood, and enhance the quality of sleep. In addition, yoga has been shown to increase flexibility, improve balance and increase strength.
38 All these types, from the peaceful hatha to the high-intensity power yoga, take your workout to a level of mind-body connection.
People of all ages and fitness levels can do the most basic yoga poses and stretches. You can do yoga anywhere, indoors or out. You’ll need to use a yoga mat to keep you from sliding around in standing poses, and to cushion you while in seated and lying positions. 39 It includes a yoga ball for balance, a yoga block or two, and straps to help you reach for your feet or link your hands behind your back.
Even though there are many instructional books and DVDs on yoga, it is well worth it to invest in some classes with a good instructor who can show you how to do the postures. But if you don’t live near a studio, or you’re the on-the-go type who struggles to make time for a regular class, doing yoga at home can help you fit the practice into your life. 40 Simply choose the time and the length of the session that works for you, and get your “om” on at home.
A. Yoga is a great way to strengthen your body.
B. Other optional equipment may also be needed.
C. There are more than 100 different forms of yoga.
D. Now it is a popular practice throughout the world.
E. Therefore, yoga facilities are necessities for your exercise.
F. Yoga has long been praised for its physical and spiritual benefits.
G. You don’t have to wait for a specific class time or commit to a class.
