Silk China is said to be the first country to have mastered the sericulture technology to produce silk. The silk industry reached its top in the Han and Tang dynasties.

Chinese kung fu Chinese kung fu has a long history of about 6,000 years. In the 1960s, Bruce Lee spread Chinese kung fu through movies and then made it popular all over the world. Nowadays, the influence of Chinese kung fu can be found in culture, poetry, novels, movies and so on.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), created by the Han Chinese, made great progress in the Song Dynasty.

①Do you know the meaning of “Kanas” It means “beautiful, rich, and mysterious (神秘的)”. Kanas Lake is a perfect place to show all of these words.
②Kanas Lake lies in the Altay Mountains of Northern Xinjiang. The lake is 1,374 meters above sea level with thick forests, rivers and grasslands around it. The lake changes its color with the change of seasons. In spring and summer, the lake is deep green. While in autumn, the lake gets many colors with gold, red, green and blue. It becomes a world of white snow in winter. That makes it one of the most beautiful places in China.
③Kanas Lake is a place rich in animals and plants. Visitors may be lucky enough to see some hard-to-find animals like snow leopards (豹) or the Altay argali (盘羊) . They also can see different kinds of Siberian trees (云杉) around the lake. The trees make the place look green and beautiful.

Man Lichu couldn’t believe his eyes when he walked into Zhang’s Garden. This place was once his home. Now it looks “completely different”, he said.
Many others once called Zhang’s Garden home, too. It was once a residential area (居民区). After years of redevelopment, it now stands as a commercial and cultural landmark. Visitors arrive in large numbers. Many are surprised to see the 143-year-old historical doors and windows.
Zhang’s Garden is widely praised as the “Best Garden in Shanghai”. There are many shikumen (石库门) houses. Some buildings mix the best of Chinese and Western designs. Take the W12 building for example. Its baroque style (巴洛克风格) catches the eye and its beautifully carved (雕刻) wooden decorations stand out as well.
Zhang’s Garden witnessed Shanghai’s development. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, great minds like Sun Yat-sen (孙中山) often gave speeches there. It was also the birthplace of bikes and electric lamps in Shanghai.
Things changed around the middle of last century. Many factories were built nearby after the 1950s. Over time, Zhang’s Garden became more and more crowded. Mr. Man used to live in an 18-square-metre apartment with six family members.
In late 2018, Shanghai started to redevelop Zhang’s Garden. Chu Feng was one of the project managers. “There are a total of 42 buildings with 2,053 rooms,” he said. “It’s not easy to fix them up while keeping their historical charm.”
Chu’s team went to great lengths to gather historical information about the buildings. It took them three years to collect old photos and architectural plans. Their document on the W12 building was more than 400 pages long. Another challenge was to add modern equipment like security cameras. This had to be done without damaging the buildings’ quaint appearance (古色古香的外观).
After a lot of hard work, the western part of Zhang’s Garden opened to the public at the end of 2022. Work on the larger eastern part is still going on. The project is expected to be completed by 2027. The “Best Garden in Shanghai” will then be ready to amaze even more visitors.
9．In the first paragraph, Man Lichu entered Zhang’s Garden as a/an ________.
A．owner B．guest speaker C．project manager D．visitor
10．According to the passage, visitors to Zhang’s Garden today can find ________.
①many shikumen houses ②several colourful gardens
③beautiful wooden decorations ④windows more than 140 years old
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④
11．Zhang’s Garden became more and more crowded in the second half of the last century because ________.
A．it became a cultural landmark B．many great minds gave speeches there
C．many factories were built nearby D．it was known as the “Best Garden in Shanghai”
12．How long did it take to redevelop the western part of Zhang’s Garden
A．About two years. B．About four years. C．About six years. D．About seven years.
13．We can find the answers to the following questions except “________”.

Gordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft (手艺). He builds model ships inside old bottles.
Gordon loves ships. His interest in them began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada. There was a show of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the show was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.
He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty (一层油灰), shapes, paints and makes it look like the sea. Next he builds the ship. To get the ship through the thin neck of the bottle, Gordon has to carefully hold down the masts (桅杆). This step needs special skills. When the ship is inside the bottle, he uses a long, thin tool to raise the masts.
Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging (富于挑战性的), as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and steady hands.Choose the best choice from A, B or C according to what you read.

How are typhoons or hurricanes named The practice of naming these storms has a long history. Before the 20th century, they were named by the time they appeared or the place where they landed. For example, the hurricane that destroyed Galveston in 1900, killing tens of thousands of people, is remembered as the Great Galveston Hurricane.
The practice of giving storms personal names starts from Wragge. He was an Australian meteorologist (气象学家). In the 1890s, he named storms after women, story characters, and politicians that he didn’t like. The modern system of using personal names developed during World War II. At that time, people began using women’s names. Short and quickly understood names were easier to send by the radio and easier to know if there was more than one storm in a given area. In 1953, the system was made formal. And men’s names were added to the list in 1979.
How are storm names picked today A special group of the World Meteorological Organization keeps lists of names to be used for storms. The names must be short, special, and have something to do with their cultural and geographic areas. For the Atlantic basin (海盆) there are six lists of 21 names each. If there are more than 21 named storms, Greek letters are used. For the Western Pacific/South China Sea basin, names on the lists are given by countries. The lists recur every six years. But if a hurricane or typhoon is especially destructive (破坏性的). The name will not repeat again, such as, Sandy (2012), Haiyan (2013), and Michael (2018).
52．How does the writer begin the article
A．By listing a number. B．By showing an idea.
C．By asking a question. D．By telling an accident.
53．What does the underlined word “recur” probably mean in last paragraph

54．What is the best title for this article
A．How Meteorologists Learn About Typhoons and Hurricanes
B．The Most Destructive Typhoons and Hurricanes in History
C．The History and Ways of Naming Typhoons and Hurricanes
D．Different Kinds of Disasters Caused by Typhoons and Hurricanes

When you’re worried about what other people might be thinking of you, what you’re doing or how you look, it can stop you from being yourself.
Are people thinking about you
There are many times when you might think other people are having a thought of you. If you’re performing in public or taking part in sports, it’s natural that people are going to look at you. However, there may be other times when you think others are looking at you, even if you are doing nothing to draw attention—when you are walking down the street, for example, chatting to your friends or just sitting quietly reading. If you think that others are talking about you, it can cause worrying.
The influence of worrying
When you worry about other people’s thoughts, you spend a lot of time guessing what they are thinking about you. This can distract you from doing the things you want or need because you think they might think you are doing it wrong. Young people’s coach Maria Evans says that worrying what other people think can mean you get caught up in pleasing other people at the expense (代价) of what feels true to you.
________
It isn’t possible to know what someone is thinking about you, or even if they’re thinking of you at all. Evans says you cannot control other people’s thoughts. It can be helpful to list things you can control, and focus on (专注) those instead. Tell yourself that you are kind, brave and loved. Make plans with people who really know you and enjoy your company. It’s great to remember that there are people you can be yourself with.
60．What does the underlined word “it” in Para 2 refer to (指代)
