72．Dear John,
I’m glad to hear that you want to join the Chinese Club in your school. Instead of hesitating because of your poor Chinese, you are supposed to apply to be a member of the club.
As far as I’m concerned, joining the club, where you can get the chance to practice and improve your Chinese, is a great choice for you since you are not good at it. Besides, you are likely to make some new friends in the club and learn Chinese from them. If you are still worried about your Chinese, you are free to turn to me.
I really hope that you can join the club and further learn Chinese.
Yours,
Li Hua

If you’ve ever felt “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous, you’re likely getting signals from an unexpected source: your second brain. Hidden in the walls of the digestive system, this “brain in your gut (肠道) ” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood and health.Scientists call this little brain the enteric nervous system(ENS 肠神经系统).
The ENS is two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gut. Unlike the big brain in your head, the ENS can’t calculate or compose a love note. “Its main role is controlling digestion,” explains Jay Pasricha, M.D．, director of the Johns Hopkins Center. “The enteric nervous system doesn’t seem capable of thought as we know it, but it communicates back and forth with our big brain.” For decades, researchers and doctors thought that anxiety and depression contributed to gut problems. But Pasricha’s research shows that it can also be the other way around.
Our two brains “talk” to each other, so treatments that help one may help the other. In a way, doctors who treat digestive conditions are like advisors looking for ways to comfort the second brain. Psychological approaches also help to improve communications between the big brain and the brain in our gut.
Pasricha says the research suggests that digestive-system activity may affect thinking skills and memory, too. “This is an area that needs more research, something we hope to do here at Johns Hopkins,” he says.
24．Why does the author mention “butterflies in your stomach” in paragraph 1
A．To show the power of the ENS. B．To prove the origin of the idiom.
C．To explain why you’re very nervous. D．To engage the readers with the topic.
25．What does Pasricha’s research tell us
A．The main role of the ENS has changed. B．Depression contributes to gut problems.
C．The ENS affects what happens in the brain. D．Gut problems are different from what they were.
26．What is the benefit of Pasricha’s research
A．It helps to prevent stomach problems. B．It leads to further brain improvement.
C．It creates new treatment opportunities. D．It gives a guide for better communication.
27．What do we learn from the last paragraph
A．The research proves quite fruitful.
B．There is still more to learn about mind-gut link.
C．Digestive-system activity has other bad influence.
D．Pasricha is determined to improve people’s memory.

Cecilia Chiang, named the “mother of Chinese food in American”, a famed restauranteur who helped introduce real Chinese food to America in the 1960s, died on October 28, 2020 at the age of 100. Opened in 1961, Cecilia’ legendary San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin, was arguably the best Chinese restaurant in the US for over 30 years. She challenged the American idea of Chinese food and transformed their appreciation for authentic Chinese cuisine.
Ms Chiang was born in Wuxi in 1920 as the seventh daughter in a wealthy family. After her parents died, Cecilia managed the businesses’ finances while still in her teens.
Ms Chiang came to San Francisco in 1959. Once in San Francisco, she met two acquaintances who wanted to open a restaurant. Ms Chiang agreed to put up a huge deposit. But when the two women quit, Ms Chiang found to her horror that the deposit was not refundable. She decided to open the restaurant herself. “I began to think that if I could create a restaurant with Western-style service and the dishes that I was most familiar with-the delicious food of northern China— maybe my little restaurant would succeed,” she wrote in her book.
The Mandarin, which was opened in 1961 as a small restaurant, introduced customers to mainly Sichuan, Shanghai and Canton dishes. The early days were especially tough. But little by little, Chinese diners, and a few Americans came regularly. Overnight, the tables filled and became a huge success.
Ms Chiang enjoyed many extraordinary honors. In 2013, when she was 93, she received the long overdue Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Awards, known as the ”Culinary Oscars“ at New York’s Lincoln Center. Cecilia considered it her legacy to have redefined what Americans know about Chinese food and culture. In her acceptance speech, Cecilia said, ”This is an incredible honor. James Beard was one of my close personal friends, so this award holds a special place in my heart.“
28．When did Ms Chiang start to manage the businesses’ finances
A．In the 1920s. B．In the 1930s. C．In the 1950s. D．In the 1960s.
29．Why did Ms Chiang open a restaurant alone
A．She wanted to live a better life. B．She needed to get her deposit back.
C．She decided to help her acquaintances. D．She wished to spread Chinese food across America.
30．What can be Ms Chiang’s chief achievement
A．She changed American’s eating habits.
B．She won an Oscar award for her restaurant.
C．She showed Americans the charm of Chinese food.
D．She recorded many recipes for Chinese dishes in her book.
31．Which of the following best describes Ms Chiang
A．Smart but stubborn. B．Adventurous but careless.
C．Devoted and brave. D．Enthusiastic and ambitious.
D
Do you like Chinese traditional painting and dance They are two important parts of the traditional Chinese art. But what about when they meet each other
This year, a dance drama titled Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting (《只此青绿》) was staged on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala and became popular.
According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 900-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its sweeping size, rich coloration and the expressive details, reported CCTV. It shows a Chinese blue-green landscape: “mountains and groupings of infinite (无限的) rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling (涟漪的) water”.
When the dancers moved elegantly(优美地), audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers. “It brings me a pure experience of beauty. It is not only a drama but also an exhibition. Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review. “More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still impress people as they did long ago.” Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later. In fact, in recent years, more and more modern shows feature Chinese traditional culture and have received warm welcome. As for the reason, it is due to people’s great love for traditional culture.
“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mind. They accept Chinese culture and are proud of it.” Yao Wei, director of Henan TV Station’s Innovation Center, told China Daily.
32．What’s the writing purpose of Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic. B．To show a doubtful attitude.
C．To describe the art world. D．To raise a question.
33．What inspired the poetic dance
A．CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. B．Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng.
C．A Chinese blue-green landscape. D．An ancient Chinese traditional painting.
34．Why did this poetic dance enjoy welcome
A．Traditional culture is accepted and loved by people.
B．Green mountains and rivers greatly impress people.
C．The poetic dance can be staged in the theaters later.
D．Increasing modern shows feature(以...为特征) Chinese traditional culture.
35．What’s the main idea of the whole passage
A．It explains why Chinese art enjoys popularity.
B．It shows us art can come to life through dance.
C．It shows the beauty of Chinese traditional art.
D．It tells us the love for Chinese traditional painting.
