Learning from nature’s wisdom led farmers in Ancient China to create the 24 Solar Terms, which were based on observation of changes of seasons, astronomy and other natural phenomena. Indicating changes in weather conditions, the 24 Solar Terms remain of particular importance to farmers for guiding their practices. The first term is known as “Beginning of Spring”, and marks when days become longer and the temperature begins to increase. Nowadays, the 24 Solar Terms not only apply to farming, but also guide Chinese people in everyday life. So varied are the functions of the Solar Terms and their contributions to cultural identity, that in 2016, they were added to UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Task 1: Read the passage about biomimicry and answer the questions. Pay attention to the words and expressions in bold.
One is copying form and shape. Another one is taking inspiration from the abilities of animals.
What are the types of biomimicry mentioned in the passage
What else do you know about them
Explain the meaning of the expressions in bold in your own words
When solving a design problem, you can sometimes look to nature for a solution. One of the early examples is the study of birds to enable human flight. The Wright brothers got their inspiration from observing pigeons in flight, and in 1903 successfully obtained a patent for their designs for the first aeroplane. This approach, called biomimicry, studies and imitates nature’s designs and processes to seek solutions to human problems.
observe: to see or notice sb/sth看到；注意到；观察到
seek solutions to: to find ways to solve the problem 寻求解决问题的办法
Explain the meaning of the expressions in bold in your own words
There are many types of biomimicry, among which the most common one is copying form and shape. By imitating the beak of a bird, for example, bullet trains can be made to run much faster and more quietly. Another type of biomimicry is taking inspiration from the abilities of animals. Inspired by dolphins, people have learnt how to send signals underwater, which is currently employed in tsunami early-warning systems.

Read the passage and answer the questions.
1 Why were Chinese martial artists inspired by animal movements
2 What were Hua Tuo’s achievements
Read the passage and answer the questions.
One of the outstanding features of traditional Chinese martial arts is the way they imitate animal movements. This came about because many Chinese martial artists admired the natural instincts (自然本性), senses and fighting abilities that animals possess in order to survival in the wild.
n 武术
The first set of animal-imitating (仿生) exercises came into being about 2,000 years ago. It was called Wu Qin Xi, or Five-animal Exercises, created by Hua Tuo (ca145–208). As a physician during the Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo is often credited with being the first in China to use anesthesia (麻醉) during surgery. He was known as the best physician of his time, and was an expert in acupuncture (针灸).
