Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love
Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide acclaim.
Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.
It is the spirit of craftsmanship behind her works that makes Li's video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures when making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.
Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any "analysis" that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the audience know how the Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li's efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her short videos, Li presents the image of a beautiful and friendly China.
With the growth of the Chinese economy, people overseas are showing more interest in traditional Chinese culture. Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture.
To effectively present the beauty of Chinese culture to the world, we need more Li Ziqi.

A. They promote the sales of Chinese food and handicrafts.

四、七选五
George Church, a leading professor of genetics at Harvard University, is planning to create a dating app that can match users based on their genetic agreement.
①_____.Two people considering going on a date take out their smartphones first and check each other's genetic table to see whether there are any undesirable genes that cannot be determined from his/her outward appearance. Genetic deficiencies (基因缺陷) that might lead to diseases in offspring will be screened out first. Heart disease No. Immune deficiency No. Hemophilia No.
②_____. Eye color, height preference, curly or straight hair. In the end, only those with the genes that promise the users a perfect child will date.
It sounds terrible. If the app becomes a reality, it could split people into different camps based on the genes they carry.
Some might argue that even now people are not wholly equal to each other—there are the rich and the poor to begin with. ③_____. Genes, on the other hand, are fixed, with no hope of changing at least in the near future.
Church didn't have this divisive goal in mind. In an interview, he said he hoped to let people know the genetic deficiencies in their mating partners so as to minimize the chances of giving birth to children with diseases. ④_____.
The problem is not so much with genetic technology, which can help people find possible diseases before birth, and possibly even cure them through gene editing. But it would be a mistake to let everybody know of each other’s genetic information and make choices on that basis.
⑤_____. Gene sequencing (基因排序) is becoming increasingly popular with many people choosing to know their genes better. It is reaching a stage where it becomes urgent for the law to protect such information and avoid possible leaks.
A.He will make it.
B.This is how it works.
C.That in turn calls for legislation (立法).
D.The app will be popular with different people.
E.Then comes the turn of harmless appearance characteristics.
F.But he will not be able to stop the above-mentioned possibility.
G.However, one can always struggle to improve one's quality of life.

四、答案:①-⑤BEGFC
解析:①根据本段内容可知,两个想要约会的人先拿出智能手机,检查对方的基因表,看看是否有不能从外表判断出来的不良基因,遗传疾病的基因缺陷将首先被筛选出来。由此可知本段主要介绍的是这款应用程序是如何工作的,故B项(它的工作原理是这样的。)符合语境。
②空后提到的眼睛颜色、身高、卷发或直发都属于外表方面的特征,因此本段主要讲的是外表上的特征,故E项(然后是无害的外表特征。)符合语境。
③空前说有人可能会说即使是现在,人们也不是完全平等的,一开始就有穷富之分,此处承接上文,讲的是关于生活质量方面的内容,故G项(然而,一个人总是可以努力提高自己的生活质量。)符合语境。
④空前说在一次采访中,丘奇说他希望让人们知道他们的伴侣的遗传缺陷,从而尽量减少生下有疾病的孩子的可能性,此处承接上文,讲的是他无法控制上面提到的情况,F项中的he指代的就是前面的Church,故F项(但他无法阻止上述的可能性。)符合语境。
⑤空后说制定保护这些信息,避免可能的泄露的法律已经到了刻不容缓的阶段,因此此处讲的应该是与法律相关的话题,故C项(那相应地需要立法。)符合语境。
