Possible version
The Chinese writing system has managed to survive throughout the five thousand years of China's history. As it has lasted into modern times, it is able to connect China's past with its present. From my perspective, it is also possible for the Chinese writing system to help connect China with other countries. As we know, Chinese is one of the UN's official languages. It is a first or second language in Southeast Asian countries like Singapore, and it is used in Chinese communities all over the world. Now, more and more foreigners are becoming interested in Chinese culture, with Chinese calligraphy being a marvelous example. Written Chinese is a language with a rich history. In fact, some ancient symbols can still be seen in today's hanzi. Foreigners are able to learn more about China and appreciate its culture through studying its amazing language.
To put it simply, the Chinese writing system is an important means by which China can connect with other countries.

Dr Jamie Laird, a research fellow at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science, has invented a new device for testing the shortcomings of perovskite(钙钛矿)solar cells, the first of its kind anywhere in the world. Perovskite solar cells that can match silicon(硅)for efficiency are cheaper to manufacture and more flexible, but they haven't become commercially available yet, because they are still too unstable when exposed to heat, light and oxygen. That's where Jamie's device comes in. With a combination of a microscope and a special laser (激光器), it produces pictures and maps of the drawbacks within solar cells and tells scientists where the cells are losing power or efficiency over time and use. It also provides data to indicate why. The innovative technique starting life as a personal project for Jamie was originally intended to analyse minerals. When he joined Exciton Science, Jamie realized his device would be a perfect tool to help his colleagues and other leading solar cell researchers around the world to better understand the frustrating issues that have kept perovskite from meeting their exciting promise. “We use a laser beam and we focus on a spot and scan across the device to measure the quality of the solar cell. This new method allows us to do imaging analysis of the whole or complete solar cells and look at how they perform, how they change with time and aging, and how good a solar cell it is, ”Jamie said. “You can't have a solar cell that decomposes quickly when it's meant to last 20 years in the field, ”Jamie added. “This is a missing link in the whole of techniques we have to throw at that problem.” 1. What is the shortcoming of perovskite solar cells A. It's very expensive. B. Its efficiency is low. C. Its production is complex. D. It's unstable under certain conditions. 2. What was Jamie's initial purpose of inventing the device A. To find new materials. B. To help his colleagues, C. To conduct mineral analysis. D. To study solar energy technology. 3. Which can replace the underlined word "decomposes" in the last paragraph A. gets away B. breaks down C. takes in D. sets off 4. What is the text mainly about A. A scientist who invented a new device. B. The most suitable material for solar energy. C. Certain drawbacks of perovskite solar cells. D. A new device that can develop solar power. 四．七选五 You know you’re ready to hit the road and see the world, but you need a little help getting out of the door. With some thought and careful planning, you can head for adventure sooner than you think. Start planning your escape! Determine how much money you can spend on a trip.

Your doctor can give you an International Certificate of Vaccination, or Yellow Card, to provide as proof of inoculation. So wherever your next stop may be : Good luck. Ask a local for their advice. Figure out how long you will be gone. Consider how you plan to use your accommodations. If you’re not flying, you can book train and bus travel online, too. Tell your doctor where you are going and discuss which vaccines you will need. Having only a single bag will enable you to move quickly from one city to another. If you don’t have enough money, you may decide to put off your trip until you can save more money. 五．完形填空 Whether it is a relaxing walk or a power one, taking a walk usually only lasts a small duration of time.
