本文是说明文(Exposition) 。
An exposition is a writing whose purpose is to give information.
1. Imagine mountains wrapped in silver water, shining in the spring sun. Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are gold, and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost. These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.
What colors are mentioned in different seasons

2. These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people, to whom Guangxi is home. Starting in the Yuan Dynasty, work on the terraces took hundreds of years, until its completion in the early Qing Dynasty. Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top.
1. Who built the terraces
2. Where are the terraces
3. How long did it take to build them
Local Zhuang and Yao people.
In Guangxi
(From the Yuan Dynasty to the early of Qing Dynasty.)
It took nearly hundreds of years to build them.
3. So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of land in the region. Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice. Secondly, although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are steep and the soil is shallow. The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.
problem solution
_______ large and flat areas in the region _________ the areas where they could grow rice
_________ mountains ________ rainwater
________ soil _______ the soil from being _______ ____
few
increase
steep
catch
shallow
prevent
washed away
4. But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season, it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour. This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again. These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish, some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops.

Describe

During the rainy season,...
Rainwater moves down the mountains along hundreds of waterways into the terraces.
The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour.
This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces again.
5. Although modern technology could help produce more crops, these terraces still mean a lot to the people for whom traditions hold much value. This knowledge is passed down through families, which means that new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces. Today, the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors who come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.
1.Will the knowledge of building the terraces disappear Why
No. Because it is passed down through families
2.Why do thousands of visitors come here
Because they come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.
It is well-suited to the local environment and is more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

To explain how people worked in harmony with nature to create the Longji Rice Terraces
To describe the beauty of the Longji Rice Terraces and to attract visitors to this scenic spot.
Read the summary of the passage and
correct four factual mistakes.
The Longji Rice Terraces were built by the local
Zhuang ethnic group alone. Though there are
many large, flat areas in the region, they built
terraces on the mountains to have more areas to
grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, and
can wash away the shallow soil. There are
hundreds of waterways, along which rainwater
moves down the mountains and into the terraces.
Today, local people use modern methods to
maintain the terraces, and they attract lots of
visitors from all over the country.
