Born in Beijing in 1981, Qi Haonan graduated from the capital's North China University of Technology in 2004, majoring in mechanical automation. Qi said that when he heard there was a job opening at the Palace Museum, he decided to apply, adding that visiting the museum's gallery of clocks built up his decision. "These timepieces opened my mind to clocks. They are mechanical wonders combining technology and art," he said.
In 2005, he joined the cultural relics restoration(修复)department at the Palace Museum, becoming a student of Wang, the museum's third generation watchmaker. "In the beginning, everything in the palace was fresh to me. It made me excited to even think about repairing old-fashioned clocks," Qi said. But reality soon dampened his passion. There is ad rule for apprentices(学徒): For the first year, you can look, but don't touch.
From 8 am to 5 pm every day for that first year, Qi checked and took apart watches and clocks collected from friends to practice finding problems. It took him a year of this repetitive routine before he could finally get his hands on the small French clock in the museum. "It is ad job that requires extreme patience, because clock restoration is a very long and careful process," he said, adding that it is clear evidence of the old saying "haste(仓促)makes waste" and, in this case, haste can do a great deal of damage.
Although the old clock repairing techniques at the Palace Museum were listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2014, it was a little-known skill and in short supply of career practitioners before 2016, when three-part TV documentary, Masters in the Forbidden City, made the profession known to the nation. Qi didn't expect that the documentary would make that profession cause a stir. As a result, in 2017, Qi got two apprentices and Wang got three.
24. What eventually made Qi decide to apply for the job
A. The clock's unique design.
B. His desire to broaden his eyes.
C. The combination between technology and art.
D. His paying a visit to the clocks' gallery in the museum.
25. Which can best replace the underlined word "dampened" in paragraph 2
A. changed B. improved C. weakened D. controlled
26. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Repairing clocks is a demanding job.
B. Qi had no access to any clock in 2005.
C. Qi often repaired clocks with his friends.
D. Damages never happen during repairing.
27. How did Qi feel about the documentary
A. Curios B. Appreciative C. Disapproving D. Uncaring.
C
The Masai(马赛人)are continually trying to keep their own ways in an increasingly modern world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their livelihood. They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life. They like drinking the cows' milk.
They don't kill their cattle for food. But if a cow is killed, the parts of its body are used to make containers, shoes, clothing, ropes, bed coverings and so on. Not all of the men have cows. The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. Rich men have a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man's entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal's special voice.
The Masai men have become known as warriors(勇士), protecting their cattle against other wild animals. They wear their red long hair. Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. They also make necklaces, dresses and headdresses. A few women can also become authorities once they are powerful enough. They speak a language called Maa.
The houses of Masai made from sticks and grass, which are held together with a mixture of mud, are not very firm or safe. These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village. They are not meant to last long since the migration(迁徙) of the cow population means that the Masai move as well. In the meantime, in order to prevent animals from entering, they also form a wall of branches. The whole setup is to protect the cattle, which sleep at night in the middle of the village. They seem to live a natural and self-sufficient life but lack modern civilisation.
28. What do we know about the Masai
A. They don't move in their lives.
B. They each have their own cows.
C. They don't kill their cattle at all.
D. They are heavily dependent on cattle.
29. What do most of the Masai women work as
A. Designers B. Authorities C. Housewives D. Warriors
30. Which word best describes Masai houses
A. Modern B. Lasting. C. Simple D. safe.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Africans: Living a Moving life
B. Africans: Brave People in the Word
C. The Masai: Rich People in East Africa
D. The Masai: Maintaining a Traditional Lifestyle
D
Researchers concerned with space exploration say they have discovered new evidence that Mars once had a large northern ocean. The discovery aids to existing evidence that he ancient Mars had the right conditions to possibly support some form of life.
Today, any water on Mars is believed to be in the form of ice because of the planet’s extremely cold desert temperatures. But there is a rich amount of evidence suggesting that rivers, lakes and even oceans once existed on Mars. A study by the American space agency NASA suggested that billions of years ago, Mars likely had an ocean that covered nearly half of Mars 'northern hemisphere(半球). Another NASA-supported study estimated that about several billion years ago, the climate in much of the planet's northern hemisphere was very similar to today's Earth. The study noted that at that time, Mars likely had a much thicker atmosphere than today and had an active northern ocean.
Two American researchers recently released a set of maps to provide new environmental evidence of a large ancient ocean on Mars' low-lying northern hemisphere. The team collected data from satellite images and photos of Mars. They then combined them to create maps of the planet's northern hemisphere. Using the maps, the researchers were able to piece together evidence of shorelines that sat at the edge of a huge body of water about 3. 5 billion years ago.
The researchers published their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Benjamin Cardenas, a professor at The Penn State University, was a co-writer of the study. He said the study's findings showed the possible ocean in that area of Mars was changeable and interesting. “It was dynamic(动态的). The sea level rose significantly,” he said. “Rocks were being deposited(沉积)along its basins at a fast rate. There was a lot of change happening here.” Besides, Cardenas suggested the new study also provided useful information on Mars' ancient climate and developmental history. “Based on these findings, we know there had to have been a period when it was warm enough and the atmosphere was thick enough to support this much liquid water at one time,” he said.
32. How does the author develop paragraph 2
A. By giving examples. B. By listing data.
C. By making assumptions. D. By drawing comparisons
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the researchers
A. Where they created maps. B. How they found the evidence.
C. Why they studied satellites. D. When they landed on Mars.
34. What can we learn about Mars according to the new study
A. It must have been always warm.
B. It might have had an active ocean.
C. The climate and sea level were unchangeable.
D. The atmosphere was too thin to support water.
35. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A scientific journal. B. An entertainment magazine.
C. A photography book. D. An agricultural newspaper.

Every morning, I thanked someone in my heart of hearts for my new job as a media specialist as if I already had it, my family. and the other blessings in my life.
In the beginning of January that school year, I saw a job posted online for a media specialist position, but the school was on the opposite side of town from where my son was attending school. My mind was filled with questions. How would I get my son to school if my job was on the other side of town and I had to go to work an hour earlier than his school started Should I still apply I hoped for guidance and good luck. I knew I had to have faith, so I applied for the job, but I didn't hear anything for weeks.
I played my inspiring music so much that my son, who knew the words, would sing along. I continued to thank someone in my heart of hearts for my good luck and tried to stay positive. Yet, by the end of January, I started to doubt myself. As I drove my son to school, he seemed to know how I felt, but said nothing. Then one evening, I received a sign appearing on my mirror, which looked like a Chinese symbol.

It's normal to fight with a friend, but how do you make up afterward
Accept your role in the argument. Recognize that regardless of what the fight was about, you played a role in it. Identify where you went wrong. Leave out the "but" or "you should have" and focus on how you contributed to the fight.
Deal with your anger. If you are angry, take steps to calm your anger, such as deep breathing. Think about what causes your anger. Writing down your feelings can help you explore them and understand them better.
Apologize for your wrongdoing. Express your understanding of what you did, then express your regret for doing it. Let your friends know how you impact them. Specifically, say "I'm sorry" so that your friends know you are sincerely apologizing for your wrongdoing.
Give your friends positive attention. The sooner you two can experience some form of joy, the better. Actions that create positive feelings will help you and your friends feel connected.

I searched Chinese symbols for the meaning of the sign. And finally I found the exact symbol that had appeared on my mirror. Next to the symbol were the words, "Faith, Belief, Trust." I stared at the words. It was a sign which reminded me of the importance of faith and belief. It was at this time that I felt like a heavy load had been lifted suddenly from my shoulders. I didn't need to worry about finding a job. I just had to have faith, belief and trust.
Within days, I received a phone call from the school to which I had applied. It said that I needed to attend an interview for the job. I was very glad. Because I had got prepared for so long that I went on the interview with confidence and the faith that was already mine. The interview went smoothly. Not only did I get the media specialist position, but the work of getting my son to school was addressed, too. I needn't worry about it any more.
