A
Each time Chinese New Year is approaching, preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.
London
Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns (灯笼), previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dance and opera nearby.
San Francisco
San Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bangkok
With an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.
Mauritius
Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets.
21.What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Preparations for Chinese New Year B. Some Chinatowns in foreign countries
C. How to celebrate Chinese New Year D. Chinese New Year is coming
22. What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown

C. It is well-known for its gold business. D. It is where you can enjoy fireworks.

His talent and charm have made him the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world. He played in the grand Beijing Olympic opening ceremony in 2008, watched by a TV audience of 5 billion.
Lang Lang is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world's top orchestras，making his debut at the Carnegie Hall in New York at 18, while still a student.
Lang Lang's charm and fondness for sharp clothes make him a natural fit to represent China's new international image. According to the British newspaper the Times, “The Lang Lang's effect” is responsible for driving 36 million Chinese children to learn the piano.
Now in China children are learning Chopin and Western orchestras are playing sold－out tours across Chinese cities. But can China introduce its own music to the west Lang is trying. His cooperation with the London Symphony Orchestras this month includes a performance of Dragon Songs, an album of traditional Chinese classics.
Behind the international recognition, however, is a fascinating story of a gifted child. Lang grew up with his father's own musical ambition and high expectations. It is not hard to imagine how boring it must be to practice the piano every day. Lang said that he once hated his hands and the piano. He injured his right hand six years ago and had to rest. “That was the best month, ” he says, without hesitation. “I had a date. I saw a Broadway show and saw Britney Spears in concert.”
24．Which of the following is the reason why Lang Lang is the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world
A．He is gifted in music and full of charm.
B．He played in the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony.
C．He is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world's top orchestras.
D．He plays the piano so well and has a good international image.
25．The underlined word “debut” in the second paragraph probably means ________.
A．first class B．first performance C．first plan D．first choice
26．From the passage we can learn that ________.
A．Lang is making efforts to promote Chinese music to the world
B．Lang didn't play the piano well when he was little
C．he was happy to practice the piano every day
D．he injured his right hand carelessly six years ago
27．What's the main idea of the last paragraph
A．The sad story of Lang's father. B．Lang's gift from his father.
C．Lang's special childhood life. D．Lang's date with his girlfriend.
C
A Spanish project is attempting to 3D print coral reefs (珊瑚礁) to provide habitat for fish and protection for beaches and coastal communities at risk from rising seas and other damage.
Coral reefs are massively reducing globally, and some scientists say we could lose 70-90% of our reefs due to warming ocean waters. That has all kinds of serious results because a quarter of the world’s fish live in and around reefs, reefs are critically important protectors of beach communities threatened by high waves and tides, and they support a massive amount of biodiversity（生物多样性）. That led marine biologist Lizzie Fane and her co-founder Alfred Martel, a computer scientist, to start Coastruction, a non-profit organization.
“Even if you start on a small scale (规模) ----- a square kilometer already, it could have a great impact,” Martel says. “It could really protect a coast, a beach, or an area where there is a community living and they need protection because the sea is rising.”
Being able to 3D print is important, because you match individual sites. Every location is different with different coral species. “It’s like everybody has a different house,” Fane says. “You can take into consideration habitat requirements of not just the coral but also the fish that live nearby.”
Their current technology can print various shapes. The result can be an amazingly natural-looking man-made rock with plenty of corners for both coral and other fish to attach themselves and make homes.
The Coastruction founders don’t think they can possibly meet the global demand, so their goal is to provide the tools — like the 3D printer — for local people and design the technology to use cheap and locally-available materials to create the artificial coral reefs. No high temperatures or chemical additives are required, and any loose powder or sand material not used in one print will be used in the next. The 3D printer works on-site, so there’s no transport of finished blocks required.
28. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The biodiversity of coral reefs. B. The reduction in coral species.
C. The protection coral reefs provide. D. The loss of global coral reefs.
29. What do Martel’s words imply
A. 3D-printed reefs can hardly save oceans.
B. Small actions can make a lot of difference.
C. Small-scale production of reefs is a drop in the ocean.
D. 3D-printed reefs fail to provide perfect fish habitat.
30. What do we know about the current 3D reef printing
A. It can just print regular-shaped reefs. B. It can use any material to produce reefs.
C. It can create life-like reefs. D. It can meet the global demand for reefs.
31. What is the goal of the Coastruction founders
A. Applying their technology to local conditions.
B. Putting their reefs into mass production.
C. Transporting finished reefs to where they are needed.
D. Adding chemicals to reefs to make them colorful.
D

There are many traditional festivals in China. However, I like the Qingming Festival best. It is a festival which falls on either April 4 or 5 ,with a history of over 2,500 years.
The Qingming Festival is a time of many different activities,among which the main ones are tomb-sweeping, spring-outing and kite-flying.It is a combination of sadness and happiness.In the south of China, people like to eat qingtuan when going on spring outings during the Qingming Festival.
The reason why I like the festival is that I can have 3 days off and my family will get together. This day teaches us to honor our ancestors and respect the culture.
