Many of China's ancient architectural treasures crumbled into dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s. The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China, and by far the best known. Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rapid development.
Becoming China's best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old, often located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring China's remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained(养护) roads by mule (骡子), or on foot. Inns(客栈) were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always risk of violence from rebels, soldiers and robbers.
Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha's Light, in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was rebuilt in 857 A.D., making it the oldest building known in China at the time.
Liang and Lin crawled into the temple's most forbidding, forgotten areas to determine its age, including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats. “In complete darkness and among awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and photographed with flashlights for several hours. When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture.” Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in the book “Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring China's Architectural Past”.
4.What does the underlined word “crumbled” mean in Paragraph 1

C.Looked old.
D.Closed up.
5.On their way to the ancient buildings in the 1930s,what risks did Liang and Lin mainly face

A.They considered their work was the most important.
B.They were well equipped before entering the temple.
C.They found some surprising things in the temple.
D.The conditions inside the temple were common to them.
7.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A.Tough Conditions in China's Remote Areas
B.Partners in Documenting China's Architectural Treasures
C.The Reason for Liang and Lin's Exploration
D.The Difficulties China's Architectural Historians Are Facing

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms(节气). The year starts from Beginning of Spring and ends with Greater Cold, moving in cycles. The solar term culture is still useful today to guide people's lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips.
Grain Buds(小满)is the 8th solar term of the year. It means that the seeds(种子)from the grain are becoming full. During Grain Buds, the summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, “Heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water. This is a good time to enjoy fish. It is also a harvest season for fishermen.
Frost's Descent (霜降), the 18th solar term of the year, is the last solar term of autumn. The weather becomes much colder than before and frost begins. The apple is one kind of recommended fruit during Frost's Descent. There are many sayings about apples' benefits (益处) in China, such as “ Eat an apple after meals. Even old men can be as strong as young men.”
Minor Cold(小寒)is the 23rd one. For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year and people always start preparing for Chinese New Year. According to traditional Chinese medicine thoughts, people need to eat food that has more yang energy to prevent cold from harming their bodies. Another important traditional food for Minor Cold is Laba porridge (腊八粥).

Local officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city's cultural heritage, in particular the narrow streets known as hutongs.
Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China, but they are at risk. Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 hutongs, most of which are near the Imperial Palace. Only 70 years ago, the number was 3,250. In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng, some people will be asked to move out from hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture.
“On average more than 100,000 people visit the Imperial Palace during the National Day holiday. The visitors put pressure on the protection of cultural relics,” said Huang Yan, adding that hutongs should be protected from human damage.
The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of the cultural heritage worked. Wang Shaofeng said the area has 182 cultural relics, many of which were built as far back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). “The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage,” Wang said.
“Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage, especially hutongs, and any action that will damage the heritage will be punished,” Wang said.
No one knows for sure how many hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.
12.How many hutongs have disappeared in the past seventy years in Beijing
A.Less than 1,000.
B.About 2,000.
C.More than 3,000.
D.Over 4,000.
13.According to Huang Yan, what is the main cause of the damage to cultural relics
A.Visitors' activities.
B.Residents' attitude.
C.Communities' behaviour.
D.The government's policy.
14.Which of the following is a useful way to protect hutongs
A.To attract more visitors.
B.To punish anyone damaging them.
C.To increase the local population.
D.To forbid everyone getting close to them.
15.What will happen to hutongs in the near future
A.Only time will tell.
B.No one will remember them.
C.The number will be growing.
D.Hutongs will disappear completely.

Tai chi dates back to the mid 17th century in Wen County, Henan Province. UNESCO recently added it to its List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Although tai chi is an ancient martial art, it is still quite popular today. 17
People do tai chi as a way to stay fit. Unlike other exercises, it is “soft”—the muscles are not tense, the joints are not fully bent, and you don't need to stretch (伸展) your body too much. 18 You can practice it almost anytime and anywhere without equipment. It is believed that practicing tai chi can help us have better control of our body so that we can stand, walk and run better.

But tai chi's benefits go beyond physically. 20 Tai chi has taught them the value of living more slowly. Just as a Peruvian woman who has practiced tai chi for more than 10 years says, “Practicing tai chi is like speaking with my soul.”

B.But tai chi is the other way around.
C.It's a practical way for one to further balance.
D.You need to keep a healthy balance in all things.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighbouring farms came into conflict. It was the first serious disagreement in forty years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labour and goods as needed without a hitch.
Then the long cooperation fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and then grew into a major difference, and finally it developed into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.
One morning, there was a knock on John's door. He opened it and found a man with a carpenter's toolbox. “I'm looking for a few days' work,” he said. “Perhaps you have a few jobs here and there. Could I help you ”
“Yes,” said John. “I do have a job for you. Look across the small stream at that farm. That's my neighbor's. In fact, it's my younger brother's. Last week there was a meadow(草地)between us and he took his bulldozer(推土机)there and now there is a stream between us. Well, he may have done this to annoy me but I'll do better. See that pile of wood by the barn (谷仓) I want you to build a fence—an 8 foot high fence—so I won't need to see his place anymore.”
The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.”
The older brother had to go to the town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get everything ready and then he left. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing something. At sunset when John returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. John's eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
There was no fence at all. It was a bridge!
Paragraph 2:
They turned to see the carpenter lift the toolbox onto his shoulder.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Tom,
How is everything going It's my honor to take part in the voluntary work for the maintenance of the Great Wall. I'm writing to share my experience and feeling with you.
To start with, we were divided into groups and each group was led by a specialist to do a particular task. We were asked to follow the technician to check the spots which were badly destroyed. After that, we would keep track of the results, including the position and the level of destruction. Eventually, we handed in the results to the workers specializing in maintenance.
From the experience, I realized how important it is to protect the cultural relics in our daily life.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
There was no fence at all. It was a bridge! A bridge stretched from one side of the stream to the other! John was about to complain about it when he found his younger brother coming across the bridge with hands outstretched. “It's quite generous of you to build this bridge after all I have said and done,” said John's brother. The two brothers met in the middle, taking each other's hand and hugging each other.
Paragraph 2:
They turned to see the carpenter lift the toolbox onto his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few more days. We have more jobs for you,” said the older brother. “I'd love to stay on,” the carpenter said, “but I have many more bridges to build.” Observing the carpenter leaving in the sunset, the two brothers waved grateful goodbye to him. What a story setting people thinking deeply! Every day we have the choice of building a fence or a bridge. One leads to separation and anger while the other leads to peace and friendship, which makes the situation quite pleasant.
