In ancient China, willow branches (柳树枝) were often used as a parting (告别) gift between friends and family members. 1
One reason is that willow trees are strong. 2 Because of this unique (独特的) feature, giving a willow branch to say goodbye to loved ones is a way to tell them you hope they will easily adapt to their new living environment.
Meanwhile, in Mandarin (普通话), the pronunciation for the willow tree “liu” is similar to the character “liu”, which means asking someone to stay—only the tones (声调) are different. 3 Even though we know that they must leave, we still do like that.
4 At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, today’s Xi’an, was a common place to say goodbye. People often stopped there and handed willow branches to people who want to leave.
5 In The Book of Poetry, there is the line “When I left there, willows shed tears. ” At the time of the Tang and Song dynasties, such poems were common as traveling was easy and poets felt the sorrow of separation (离别). For example, Wang Wei wrote “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green,” in his famous poem A Fond Farewell to a Friend.
A．They can live in any soil, wet or dry, north or south.
B．When the willow leaves become dark green, spring is gone.
C．It’s said that this custom became popular during the Han Dynasty.
D．Do you know why willow branches are a symbol of farewell (告别)
E．So offering a willow branch is like asking them to stay.
F．Willow branches, as a symbol (标志) of farewell, are often mentioned in poems.
The Chinese pingfeng (folding screen) is a traditional Chinese furniture (家具). It dates back to the Han Dynasty. “Pingfeng” means “keeping away from wind”, which tells us its use right from the start.
As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens usually is a dragon. It means light, growth, and water that gives life. It also stands for nobility (高贵) and power. The peacock (孔雀), a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens, too. It’s a symbol of long life. Beautiful flowers, which mean being rich and good luck, are also a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes.
Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past, the unmarried daughter of a rich family should not see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male (男性) cousins. When a young man came to visit, she could secretly watch him from behind the screen which completely hid her. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If both the daughter and her father liked the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to marry him.
Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them.
6．What was the pingfeng used for at the very beginning
A．Protecting people from wind. B．Dividing (分) a room.
C．Making a room beautiful. D．Hiding a person.
7．Which design is a symbol of nobility and power
A．The dragon. B．The peacock. C．The water. D．The flowers.
8．How does the writer show more about pingfeng in Paragraph 3
A．By listing facts. B．By telling a story.
C．By telling the result (结果). D．By showing differences.
9．What’s the main idea of this passage The writer wants to tell us ________.
A．the designs of the pingfeng in the past B．a beautiful story of the pingfeng
C．the use of the pingfeng in modern homes D．the hidden beauty of the pingfeng
Imagine holding a piece of wood that tells an ancient story—this is the magic of Chinese woodcarving! Artists turn ordinary wood into great treasures. 10
When did Chinese people make woodcarving
11 It became very popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties. People used it to decorate temples, furniture, and palaces. The designs usually included flowers, animals, and characters from Chinese stories. Some old wood carvings are now in museums.
12
Artists use special tools like knives, chisels (凿子), and hammers (锤子). They work with different types of wood. First, they draw a design on the wood. Then, they cut and shape it carefully. Finally, they make it smooth and shiny. Good wood carvers need years of practice.
What is woodcarving like today
13 Some artists make traditional designs, while others create modern art. What’s more, many young people are interested in woodcarving and try to learn it to keep the tradition alive.
Chinese woodcarving is both useful and beautiful. 14 Next time you see a piece of woodcarving, remember its long history and the hard work behind it!
A．What is the spirit of craftspeople
B．How do artists make woodcarving
C．Let’s walk into the world of woodcarving.
D．Today woodcarving mixes old and new styles.
E．It shows the skills and creative ideas of Chinese artists.
F．People started woodcarving more than 2,000 years ago.
A long time ago, fireworks weren’t for celebrations. People used them to drive away monsters (怪兽)！
In ancient China, during the Tang Dynasty, people found that mixing certain things together could cause explosions (爆炸). Back then, people believed the sound of explosions would drive away bad things. And that’s how fireworks were born! They weren’t very pretty at first, but they could drive away bad luck.
During the Song Dynasty, fireworks became more beautiful. They could change into all kinds of shapes, like flying dragons, jumping tigers, or even flowers blooming (盛开的) brightly. Fireworks became a way to make wishes.
By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, fireworks became even more amazing. At that time, fireworks were part of celebrations in the palaces. People gathered (聚集) around to watch the fireworks happily.
During the Ming Dynasty, the art of making fireworks reached its peak. Fireworks were all across China, and even spread to other countries. People at that time believed that fireworks could bring good luck and hope for the new year.
Today, fireworks become more magical. With computers, fireworks can show complex (复杂的) designs in the sky. Every time we see fireworks, they’re not just to make us happy. They also bring us hope.

Today we learn about the Chinese flute (长笛)—a traditional musical instrument. Some scientists find it has a history of over 8,000 years. According to research, the first known Chinese flutes were made of the bones of cranes (鹤).
In ancient times, people carved the bones with great effort and put five to seven holes in them. A player holds the flute up to his mouth and straight out to the right. The air moves through the flute, and then it makes a musical sound. The player presses different keys on the flute to make different musical sounds.
Later, most flutes are made of bamboo. They are generally dissevered into two types. In the north, the flute which is used to accompany the Bangzi Opera is called Bangdi. This flute is short. In the south, the flute which is used to accompany the Kunqu Opera is called Qudi. This flute is longer and thicker than the Bangdi and the music style is gentler. Now, some flutes are even made of plastic.
Because it sounds great and is easy to learn, the Chinese flute is one of the most popular musical instruments in Asia now. You can be sure that flute makers will always be on the lookout for better quality of sound.
20．When did the earliest flute appear in China
A．Over 5,000 years ago. B．Over 6,000 years ago.
C．Over 7,000 years ago. D．Over 8,000 years ago.
21．Why aren’t the flutes made of bones popular later on
A．Because it was expensive to make them.
B．Because it was too difficult to make them.
C．Because it was hard to find crane bones.
D．Because there were not enough crane bones.
22．In which order does the material for making the flute develop
a. Bamboo. b. Plastic. c. Crane bones.
A．c—b—a B．b—a—c C．c—a—b D．b—c—a

Ricardo Semler became boss of his father’s company in Brazil at the age of 21. The name of the company is Semco. It sold parts for ships. Semler worked like a mad man, from 7:30 am to midnight every day. One afternoon, while he was visiting a factory in New York, he fell down. The doctor said, “There’s nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you’ll find a new home in our hospital.” Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the ways his workers worked, too.
He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries, and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary, like receptionists and secretaries.
He changed the office: instead of walls, they have plants at Semco, so bosses can’t shut themselves away from everyone else. And the workers are free to decorate their workplace as they want. As for uniforms, some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.
Semco has flexible (弹性的) working hours: the workers decide when they need to arrive at work. Also, Semco lets its workers use the company’s machines for their own projects, and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.
It sounds perfect, but does it work The answer is in the numbers: in the last six years, Semco’s revenues (收益) have gone from $35 million to $212 million. The company has grown from 800 workers to 3,000. Why
Semler says it’s because of “peer pressure (同辈压力)”. Peer pressure makes workers work hard for everyone else. If someone isn’t doing his job well, the other workers will not allow the situation to continue. In other words, Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults rather than children, and expects them to act like responsible adults. And they do.
38．Why did Semler change the ways he and his workers worked Because ________.
A．he became mad B．he had to stay in hospital
C．his father asked him to do so D．he realized the danger of overwork
39．Semler makes a lot of changes in his company EXCEPT ________.
A．the workers decide when they need to arrive at work
B．the workers have fewer holidays than before
C．the workers can decorate their workplace as they like
D．the workers can use the company’s machines to do their own projects
40．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5
A．Ricardo Semler’s method of running the company was successful.
B．Ricardo Semler’s idea sounded perfect but not practical (实用).
C．The company earned a lot of money.
D．The reason for Ricardo Semler’s success.
41．The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A．adults B．Semler’s workers C．flexible working hours D．Semco’s revenues
42．________ is the most important thing in Semler’s company.
A．Money B．Rule C．Responsibility D．Hard work

In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel may become smarter by that time. European airline easyJet made some guesses and released (发布) easyJet 2070: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some exciting ideas.
Heartbeat passport (心跳护照)
Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. Some scientists say everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data (数据) will be used to tell who you are.

The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat may even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device (未来设备) could show films straight in front of your eyes.
Printed clothes and food
If you hate packing (打包) clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan. When you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe full of 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, people will use the clothes again to print (打印) for the next person. You can also 3D print what you want to eat.
Bring history back to life

First of all, transport (交通工具) should be much better. At present, humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship. However, by 2500, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. 57
Second, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should develop plants that can be grown on Mars. 58 However, there is no answer for all the problems now.
59 Mars attracts (吸引) us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space there. We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier.

People don’t need to eat all kinds of food to keep healthy. People eat one kind of beans and that won’t make them hungry easily. Sometimes, people just need to eat some fresh food because it is delicious.
Scientists will put very tiny (微小的) computers in our heads. With the help of them, the people with ear diseases (疾病) will be able to hear and the people with eye diseases can see.
Houses in the future will be big and cheap. The sea and the sky will be our new home. Sometimes, we can live in space. People won’t take a boat or a plane any more, because cars will be able to travel through the water and air. Also, people can travel in space by car.

①The dragon (龙) is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings the wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Heads-raising Day” (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on March 1st.
②Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
③People have many ways to celebrate the festival (节日). The most popular one is to have a haircut (理发). Many people believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou keeps them away from (远离) bad luck.

In ancient China, willow branches (柳树枝) were often used as a parting (告别) gift between friends and family members. 1
One reason is that willow trees are strong. 2 Because of this unique (独特的) feature, giving a willow branch to say goodbye to loved ones is a way to tell them you hope they will easily adapt to their new living environment.
Meanwhile, in Mandarin (普通话), the pronunciation for the willow tree “liu” is similar to the character “liu”, which means asking someone to stay—only the tones (声调) are different. 3 Even though we know that they must leave, we still do like that.
4 At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, today’s Xi’an, was a common place to say goodbye. People often stopped there and handed willow branches to people who want to leave.
5 In The Book of Poetry, there is the line “When I left there, willows shed tears. ” At the time of the Tang and Song dynasties, such poems were common as traveling was easy and poets felt the sorrow of separation (离别). For example, Wang Wei wrote “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green,” in his famous poem A Fond Farewell to a Friend.
A．They can live in any soil, wet or dry, north or south.
B．When the willow leaves become dark green, spring is gone.
C．It’s said that this custom became popular during the Han Dynasty.
D．Do you know why willow branches are a symbol of farewell (告别)
E．So offering a willow branch is like asking them to stay.
F．Willow branches, as a symbol (标志) of farewell, are often mentioned in poems.
The Chinese pingfeng (folding screen) is a traditional Chinese furniture (家具). It dates back to the Han Dynasty. “Pingfeng” means “keeping away from wind”, which tells us its use right from the start.
As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens usually is a dragon. It means light, growth, and water that gives life. It also stands for nobility (高贵) and power. The peacock (孔雀), a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens, too. It’s a symbol of long life. Beautiful flowers, which mean being rich and good luck, are also a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes.
Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past, the unmarried daughter of a rich family should not see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male (男性) cousins. When a young man came to visit, she could secretly watch him from behind the screen which completely hid her. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If both the daughter and her father liked the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to marry him.
Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them.

Imagine holding a piece of wood that tells an ancient story—this is the magic of Chinese woodcarving! Artists turn ordinary wood into great treasures. 10
When did Chinese people make woodcarving
11 It became very popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties. People used it to decorate temples, furniture, and palaces. The designs usually included flowers, animals, and characters from Chinese stories. Some old wood carvings are now in museums.
12
Artists use special tools like knives, chisels (凿子), and hammers (锤子). They work with different types of wood. First, they draw a design on the wood. Then, they cut and shape it carefully. Finally, they make it smooth and shiny. Good wood carvers need years of practice.
What is woodcarving like today
13 Some artists make traditional designs, while others create modern art. What’s more, many young people are interested in woodcarving and try to learn it to keep the tradition alive.
Chinese woodcarving is both useful and beautiful. 14 Next time you see a piece of woodcarving, remember its long history and the hard work behind it!

A long time ago, fireworks weren’t for celebrations. People used them to drive away monsters (怪兽)！
In ancient China, during the Tang Dynasty, people found that mixing certain things together could cause explosions (爆炸). Back then, people believed the sound of explosions would drive away bad things. And that’s how fireworks were born! They weren’t very pretty at first, but they could drive away bad luck.
During the Song Dynasty, fireworks became more beautiful. They could change into all kinds of shapes, like flying dragons, jumping tigers, or even flowers blooming (盛开的) brightly. Fireworks became a way to make wishes.
By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, fireworks became even more amazing. At that time, fireworks were part of celebrations in the palaces. People gathered (聚集) around to watch the fireworks happily.
During the Ming Dynasty, the art of making fireworks reached its peak. Fireworks were all across China, and even spread to other countries. People at that time believed that fireworks could bring good luck and hope for the new year.
Today, fireworks become more magical. With computers, fireworks can show complex (复杂的) designs in the sky. Every time we see fireworks, they’re not just to make us happy. They also bring us hope.

Today we learn about the Chinese flute (长笛)—a traditional musical instrument. Some scientists find it has a history of over 8,000 years. According to research, the first known Chinese flutes were made of the bones of cranes (鹤).
In ancient times, people carved the bones with great effort and put five to seven holes in them. A player holds the flute up to his mouth and straight out to the right. The air moves through the flute, and then it makes a musical sound. The player presses different keys on the flute to make different musical sounds.
Later, most flutes are made of bamboo. They are generally dissevered into two types. In the north, the flute which is used to accompany the Bangzi Opera is called Bangdi. This flute is short. In the south, the flute which is used to accompany the Kunqu Opera is called Qudi. This flute is longer and thicker than the Bangdi and the music style is gentler. Now, some flutes are even made of plastic.
Because it sounds great and is easy to learn, the Chinese flute is one of the most popular musical instruments in Asia now. You can be sure that flute makers will always be on the lookout for better quality of sound.
20．When did the earliest flute appear in China
A．Over 5,000 years ago. B．Over 6,000 years ago.
C．Over 7,000 years ago. D．Over 8,000 years ago.
21．Why aren’t the flutes made of bones popular later on
A．Because it was expensive to make them.
B．Because it was too difficult to make them.
C．Because it was hard to find crane bones.
D．Because there were not enough crane bones.

Ricardo Semler became boss of his father’s company in Brazil at the age of 21. The name of the company is Semco. It sold parts for ships. Semler worked like a mad man, from 7:30 am to midnight every day. One afternoon, while he was visiting a factory in New York, he fell down. The doctor said, “There’s nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you’ll find a new home in our hospital.” Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the ways his workers worked, too.
He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries, and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary, like receptionists and secretaries.
He changed the office: instead of walls, they have plants at Semco, so bosses can’t shut themselves away from everyone else. And the workers are free to decorate their workplace as they want. As for uniforms, some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.
Semco has flexible (弹性的) working hours: the workers decide when they need to arrive at work. Also, Semco lets its workers use the company’s machines for their own projects, and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.
It sounds perfect, but does it work The answer is in the numbers: in the last six years, Semco’s revenues (收益) have gone from $35 million to $212 million. The company has grown from 800 workers to 3,000. Why
Semler says it’s because of “peer pressure (同辈压力)”. Peer pressure makes workers work hard for everyone else. If someone isn’t doing his job well, the other workers will not allow the situation to continue. In other words, Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults rather than children, and expects them to act like responsible adults. And they do.

A．he became mad B．he had to stay in hospital
C．his father asked him to do so D．he realized the danger of overwork
39．Semler makes a lot of changes in his company EXCEPT ________.
A．the workers decide when they need to arrive at work
B．the workers have fewer holidays than before
C．the workers can decorate their workplace as they like
D．the workers can use the company’s machines to do their own projects

A．Ricardo Semler’s method of running the company was successful.
B．Ricardo Semler’s idea sounded perfect but not practical (实用).
C．The company earned a lot of money.
D．The reason for Ricardo Semler’s success.
41．The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A．adults B．Semler’s workers C．flexible working hours D．Semco’s revenues

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day; instead, they eat more vegetables and fruit. Maybe people will be healthier.

In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel may become smarter by that time. European airline easyJet made some guesses and released (发布) easyJet 2070: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some exciting ideas.
Heartbeat passport (心跳护照)
Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. Some scientists say everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data (数据) will be used to tell who you are.
More comfortable flight
The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat may even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device (未来设备) could show films straight in front of your eyes.
Printed clothes and food
If you hate packing (打包) clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan. When you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe full of 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, people will use the clothes again to print (打印) for the next person. You can also 3D print what you want to eat.
Bring history back to life
If you like to visit historic sites (历史古迹), AR (增强现实技术) will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.

Now, some people like to think about the future, but many people believe that we will live on Mars (火星) by the year 2500. 56 Well, what problems will we need to solve before we begin to go to Mars
First of all, transport (交通工具) should be much better. At present, humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship. However, by 2500, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. 57
Second, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should develop plants that can be grown on Mars. 58 However, there is no answer for all the problems now.
59 Mars attracts (吸引) us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space there. We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier.

People don’t need to eat all kinds of food to keep healthy. People eat one kind of beans and that won’t make them hungry easily. Sometimes, people just need to eat some fresh food because it is delicious.
Scientists will put very tiny (微小的) computers in our heads. With the help of them, the people with ear diseases (疾病) will be able to hear and the people with eye diseases can see.
Houses in the future will be big and cheap. The sea and the sky will be our new home. Sometimes, we can live in space. People won’t take a boat or a plane any more, because cars will be able to travel through the water and air. Also, people can travel in space by car.

Printed clothes and food
