Last December, when An Lingfei, a doctor from an Inner Mongolia medical team, arrived in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda (卢旺达), he set up a center in the Masaka District Hospital. Since then, the China-Rwanda Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment Center has increased (增加) in popularity.
The center now receives more than 30 people daily, with most of them suffering from lower back pain or knee and ankle joint (踝关节) pain. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. People often have to walk on mountain roads year-round there, which can lead to joint stress.
“TCM has great advantages in treating these diseases, and the effects are very good.” An said. “The center now provides most kinds of TCM treatments, allowing local people to experience Eastern medicine.”
Naomin, a 60-year-old patient, is amazed by TCM. She was unable to walk because of serious pain in both knees and ankles. But after a month of treatment at the center, she is now able to walk around with a walking stick. “The treatment has been a big help,” she said.
Another patient, Mukagatare, said that his back pain disappeared after three TCM treatments. He mentioned that doctors at the local hospitals had been unable to make a clear diagnosis (诊断) after many examinations, let alone reduce the pain.
Besides treating patients, the center also educates people about TCM and Chinese culture.
Up to now, TCM has spread to nearly 200 countries and areas, with its worldwide influence growing. “From treating a common cold to chronic (慢性的) and difficult diseases, TCM can all play an important role,” a Chinese doctor said.

6. What improvement did Naomin achieve after a month of TCM treatment
A. Her back pain disappeared. B. Her knees didn’t hurt anymore.
C. She could move around again. D. She didn’t need a walking stick.

C. TCM will have increasing popularity around the world.
D. An’s center is mainly about studying Chinese culture.

It’s hard to refuse a tasty banana. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.
One reason for this is climate change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected numbers from 27 countries and areas that produce 86 percent of the world’s bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the production (产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare (公顷) .
Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out. Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.
Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings (扦插) rather than seeds (种子) . This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型) . In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.
One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus (真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation meets the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.
8. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Bananas taste good. B. Bananas may disappear by 2050.
C. Many people like eating bananas. D. It’s hard to refuse a banana.
9. According to paragraph 3, what might happen if temperatures keep going too high
A. More countries will start to grow bananas. B. Bananas will grow better in most countries.
C. Bananas will stop growing. D. Bananas won’t be as tasty as before.
10. Which of the following is the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.

七、阅读回答问题。
Chinese people like the red colour a lot. Even now Chinese people like to refer to ourselves as Chizi, meaning the red descendant.
Red represents the motherland and authority. Official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were red. In the Qin Dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings. As we know, the Five-starred Red Flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, headlines of official documents are painted in red. This is why they are called red-head documents.
For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, the word “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the west. During the Chinese Spring Festival, people will give red packets to the children to make them happy. Couplets hanging on both sides of the doors are written in red. The word red equals prettiness. The expression “hongyan” meaning red colour is a synonym of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights red means stop driving. This is how the westerners like to use the red colour. It is because red is very bright, and is good for warning purposes. But it doesn’t really have any negative meanings.
