A
Stuck at home with nothing to watch Curious about China, but don’t know where to begin Well, we’ve got you covered with this brand-new video series exploring Chinese culture. All you have to do is press play.
● Dazu Rock Carvings
One of UNESCO World Heritage sites in China is hidden among the mountains on the outskirts of the southwestern city of Chongqing. Here, tens of thousands of sculptures collectively make up the Dazu Rock Carvings — considered one of the finest examples of China’s cave art, exhibiting the most sophisticated craftsmanship of Dazu Rock Carvings. The delicate Dazu Rock Carvings tell ancient, mystical stories.
● Bamboo Carving
The art of bamboo carving originated in the Ming Dynasty. Today, the art lives on, appreciated for its historical value and elegance.
Just 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing, in the Xiong’an New Area, a group of skilled artists are keeping this art alive. Carving bamboo requires focus, precision and elbow grease (重活). Watch the video and feast your eyes on the bamboo masterpieces.
● Peach-stone Carving
In the small town of Siyang in Jiangsu Province in eastern China, craftsmen create art on the tiny cores of the peaches.
While most people think nothing of peach stones and just throw them away, they are a source of inspiration for these artists. The artists go to great lengths to find the perfect cores to fit their concepts. Using tiny tools, they chip away at the cores to create intricate designs, extremely detailed and delicate. These peach stone carvings are often worn as jewelry symbolizing fortune in China.
21. What do Dazu Rock Carvings feature
A. Mysterious tales. B. Mountain shapes.
C. Design inspirations. D. Painting exhibitions.
22. What do the three types of art have in common
A. Materials. B. Origin. C. Craftsmanship. D. Symbols.
23. Why do people wear peach-stone carvings
A. To show wealth. B. To bring good luck.
C. To symbolize status. D. To appreciate design.
B
I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road. I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu Yandu Dao (the Sichuan to India trading route), the Southern Silk Road, the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures.
24. What did the writer first respond to Paul’s travel plan
A. Surprised. B. Frightened. C. Confused. D. Disappointed.
25. What can we learn about Paul from Paragraph 2
A. He was Joseph Rock’s friend. B. He was a western journalist.
C. He came to China several times. D. He had a knowledge of China.
26. What does Paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul
A. They set off in high spirits. B. They satisfied the locals’ curiosity.
C. They built bonds with people. D. They honored the ancestors.
27. What is the main purpose of the writer’s writing the text
A. To share and reflect on a journey. B. To suggest a new way of travel.
C. To stress the importance of friendship. D. To introduce Chinese culture.
C
On 15th June 1996, a huge bomb in Manchester, in the north-west of England, destroyed the city centre, causing nearly a billion pounds’ worth of damage. The bomb, which had been planted by a terrorist group called the IRA, injured over 200 people but remarkably killed no one as police had vacated the area following a warning from the IRA.
Manchester had already undergone some changes as it recovered from the economic depression of the early 1990s that had destroyed much of its industry and created large-scale unemployment. It had won the right to host the Commonwealth Games (a large sporting event) and redeveloped some deserted areas through the building of the National Velodrome, an exhibition centre and an award-winning concert hall. However, at the time of the bombing, the city centre was still badly neglected — dominated by the Arndale Shopping Centre (once described as looking like an enormous public toilet) and squares that were run-down and affected by drug addiction. So, dreadful though the bombing was, it actually provided an opportunity to start again that might not have happened otherwise.
Within weeks of the explosion, the government had set up a public-private company to manage the recovery and launched an international competition to design the redevelopment. The winning plan involved restoring the historic buildings that had been damaged, tearing down and rebuilding some of the ugly buildings, creating new public spaces and improving life for pedestrians. Alongside this, the government reduced traffic in the centre by changing the direction of some main roads and developed an integrated public transport system, making access to the centre easier. Since these improvements, the city has attempted to boost tourism by using some of the city’s historical sites for major public events and by creating the Urbis building, which now houses the National Museum of Football. In turn, these changes have been key in attracting new investors, such as the Qatari royal family who own Manchester City Football Club.
Since 1996, the Manchester economy has grown in all areas. However, there are some concerns that inequality has also increased. Nor are all the new spaces appreciated. One new garden square designed by an international architect was rated as the worst attraction in the city. Others argue that in changing market stalls and industry for luxury consumption and glass buildings, the city has lost some of its soul.
28. What does the underlined word “vacated” (paragraph 1) most probably mean
A. Looked for something in a place. B. Estimated the losses in a ruined place.
C. Removed people from a place of danger. D. Determined a numerical value of a place.
29. What does the writer say about the 1996 IRA bombing
A. It presented an unexpected opportunity for Manchester.
B. It destroyed the city centre that used to be busy and crowded.
C. It resulted in a lot of people getting hurt or killed in Manchester.
D. It cost Manchester its chance to host the Commonwealth Games.
30. What did Manchester do for its recovery
A. It set up Manchester City Football Club.
B. It organised an international competition to attract new investors.
C. It tore down some historical sites to make room for public events.
D. It developed a public traffic system to make the city center more accessible.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. Damage Manchester suffered due to the IRA bombing.
B. The IRA bombing in Manchester and its consequences.
C. Challenges related to the redevelopment of Manchester.
D. The long-term effects of the changes made in Manchester.
D
Science is always seen as hard-core and hard to understand. But could you imagine hundreds of people being attracted by the cover of a science magazine
The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October issue of Structure, a US-based Cell Press journal. The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process in which a special enzyme (酶) involved in the biosynthesis (生物合成) of an important organic compound is activated ― the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientific research team. Another one of his popular works that carries distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image, describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa, carrying her newly discovered compound to fill a crack in the sky.
While studying chemistry at university, Wang Yixi often came across an experimental preparation process that he had to explain, but the amount of text was too large and abstract. As he had been interested in drawing, and related software like Photoshop, he decided to turn his graphics into a fine art. He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers.
It didn’t take long before his classmates and professors noticed his talents and asked him to help them with their papers. By word of mouth, more people beat a path to Wang’s door and were willing to pay for his service. Over the past four years, Wang and his team have come up with more than 10,000 visual works for academic papers across a variety of fields, many of which have made their way to the world’s top academic journals, including Nature, Science and Cell.
“Every scientific paper is innovative, and graphics are an essential part of scientific papers,” Wang says, adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of models or methods, to showcase experimental results, visually process data or compare differences among experiments.
32. What play a special role in Wang’s works
A. Fairytales. B. Chinese elements. C. Rich colors. D. Complex structures.
33. What can we learn about Wang Yixi from paragraph 3
A. He preferred painting to Chemistry. B. He developed useful mapping software.
C. He had an active mind to solve problem. D. He had trouble conducting his experiment.
34. How does Wang make abstract papers easily understood
A. By visualizing them vividly. B. By showing them accurately.
C. By explaining them in detail. D. By constructing them uniquely
35. Which is the best title for the text
A. The power of art B. Dilemmas of science
C. Mysteries of chemistry D. Inspiration from science

When I first arrived in China, I thought I’d prepared for cultural differences. I was ready for chopsticks and studying the language. Nothing, however, could have prepared me for the Great Warm Water Rule.
It began on the first day of class. I took out my ice-cold water. My Chinese roommate, Liu, looked at it with genuine surprise. 36 He nicely pushed a thermos (保温杯) of hot water towards me. “This is better for you,“ he said kindly. I was confused. How could plain hot water be better than refreshing, cold water
The plot thickened everywhere I went. 37 In restaurants, waiters would automatically bring me a pot of boiling water without asking. My professors sipped from their thermoses during lectures. It was a nationwide rule that I had somehow missed.
One morning, I had a slight sore throat. When Liu heard me cough, he sprang into action and got his kettle. 38 ”Drink this, “he instructed, handing me the thermos. “It will help.” Doubtful but touched, I drank the warm water all day. To my astonishment, my throat felt better by the evening. Was it magic Or just hydration (水合作用)
I decided to investigate this cultural mystery. I asked Liu, “Why is warm water the solution to everything “ He explained it was about balance. 39 However, warm water helps your body function smoothly.
It was my ”Aha!” moment. 40 It wasn’t just a preference; it was a deeply held belief in keeping internal harmony. Now, I still enjoy an occasional cold drink, but you’ll mostly find me with my own thermos. I’ve not only accepted the Warm Water Rule; I’ve become one of its devoted followers.
A. My curiosity finally got the better of me.
B. It was as if I had broken an unspoken law.
C. I found the concept both strange and abnormal.
D. It wasn’t just about temperature; it was about philosophy.
E. He immediately filled his electric kettle and started boiling water.
F. The library, the gym, even the cinema-everyone carried thermoses.
G. Cold drinks are believed to shock your system and slow your digestion.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Mrs. Thompson, a retired teacher, was well-known for her insightful advice and genuine willingness to help others. Many high school students often turned to her for guidance and as her neighbor, me included.
One afternoon, feeling troubled and uncertain about my future after a disappointing exam, I decided to knock on Mrs. Thompson’s door.
“I don’t know what I’m doing with my life,” I admitted, my eyes fixed on the floor. “It feels like everyone else has it all figured out, and I’m just stuck.” My voice trembled with sadness and a hint of fear.
I had bombed my last math test, and it felt like that failure stayed in every corner of my mind, increasing my anxiety about college examination and what I might want to pursue. While my friends seemed to advance effortlessly through their studies, I was struggling to stay afloat. The feeling that I was falling behind only deepened my sense of hopelessness.
Mrs. Thompson listened carefully, her face a picture of calm and understanding. Without saying much, she handed me a small tomato seedling(苗) in a pot. The tiny plant, with its delicate green leaves, seemed to symbolize a slight sign of hope.
“Let’s plant this in the garden,” she said gently. “Water it every day and make sure it gets enough sunlight. But for a whole week, don’t focus on its progress. Just trust that it’s growing.”
Every day, I faithfully watered the little seedling, as if I was putting my own hopes into it. I carefully ensured it got the right amount of sunlight, positioning it just so under the sun’s rays. With great self-control, I resisted the urge to examine it too closely. As the days went by, I felt a mix of eagerness and impatience, like a child waiting for a long-promised gift, longing to see some sign that my efforts were making a difference.

范文1
Dear Chris,
How are things going I'm writing to discuss with you an interesting trend in ancient buildings. Many historical Chinese buildings are being thoughtfully turned into stylish cafes, and they quickly become popular internet-famous spots for social media photos.
I find this a meaningful form of preservation. Rather than leaving old structures empty, this gives them renewed purpose and funds their upkeep. A well-designed cafe can respect the original architecture—using traditional materials and layouts while gently introducing modern comfort. It becomes a living space where traditional heritage and modern lifestyle quietly converse, allowing history to remain part of our daily lives.
So have you seen similar things happen to old buildings in the UK What’s your opinion on this Glad to hear what you think.

Dear Chris,
How are things going I'm writing to discuss with you an interesting trend in ancient buildings. Many old Chinese buildings, like traditional courtyard, had been turned into cafes just for commercial popularity and became internet-famous spots.
To be honest, I fear that without careful balance, we risk losing the intangible heritage these spaces carry. Many cafes turning quiet courtyards into bustling commercial spots with modern decor, and the real historical atmosphere gets lost. The shifts from experiencing history to consuming coffee may disrupt the space’s cultural coherence. It starts to feel less like a cultural site and more like just a photo spot.
I believe true preservation should maintain a building’s story and context, not just its exterior. Curious if your country faces similar dilemmas.

Possible version 1:
Para 1: "Let's go check on the plant," Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. My fingers tightened can as I followed her to the windowsill. My shoulders slumped—the seedling seemed unchanged. Noticing my frustration, she carefully lifted the pot. "Look closer," she urged, scratching away a layer of soil. Beneath the soil, a network of white roots spiderwebbed through the earth. "Real growth starts where eyes can't see," she murmured. The truth struck me: Hadn't I been practicing and reviewing my errors daily Those invisible moments, I realized, were my own roots drinking in the dark. I continued the cycle of everyday watering, adjusting sunlight exposure, and putting on nutrients. (98 words)
Para2: One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. Sunlight danced on its petal, turning it into a golden promise. I couldn’t help but let out a scream of thrill. That moment, Mrs. Thompson's words echoed: "Measure growth by courage, not speed." The flower trembled in the breeze, yet its stem stood straight—a tiny warrior in a clay pot. Later, when my math grade inched up from 68 to 75, I finally smiled. No, it wasn't perfect, but it was my yellow flower—proof that patience and daily watering would always bear fruit. (89 words)

Para 1: "Let's go check on the plant," Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. I followed her to the garden, my mind swirling with doubt. Had I done enough Would the seedling survive To my amazement, the plant had grown taller, its leaves vibrant and healthy. Mrs.Thompson placed a gentle hand on my shoulder and said,"You've done well. Growth is a quiet process, but it's always worth the wait." Her words filled me with a sense of accomplishment, and I realized that my efforts, though unseen,had made a difference. Staring at the seedling,I couldn't help but reflect on her words. It struck me that this wasn't just about the plant--it was about me,too. From that day on, I approached the seedling with a new sense of purpose,watering it diligently. (115 words)
Para2: One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. My breath caught in my throat and I felt a surge of emotion joy, pride and a deep sense of fulfillment.The flower was small, almost delicate,but it was there, a bright spot of color against the green leaves I called out to Mrs.Thompson, who came over with a knowing smile."You see " she said softly. "This is what happens when you trust the process." The flower reminded me that even the smallest efforts could lead to something beautiful, and I vowed to carry this lesson with me as I faced the challenges ahead.The flower was more than just a sign of the plant's growth; it was a symbol of hope and resilience.

M: Because there's a Mother's Day event. You've been the heart and soul of our family. You take care of me, our kids, and manage everything so beautifully. I want you to have an unforgettable Mother's Day this year. You can enjoy delicious treats, have tea and play with the kids after we get there.
W: Oh, honey, that's so sweet of you. Maybe we can even meet some old friends there.
M: Probably.

M: Tina, I heard you took a trip to China last week. How was your time there
W: I had never been to China before, so it was full of surprises. I experienced many culture shocks there.
M: What was the biggest surprise for you
W: I think it's how people there eat. Food is generally ordered dish-by-dish in China to be shared by all present at the table.
M: Did you eat together with others
W: Yes. I was invited to a local's home while I was there. I wasn't used to it at first, but I respected their culture and ate happily with them in the end.
M: I'm going to China later this year. I'm sure I'll experience many culture shocks there, too.
W: Take it easy, Ethan. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

W: Jim,I heard you've been working here for ten years. You must love your work very much.
M: Not really. I just prefer to have the stable job because I'm afraid of taking risks especially in the economic downturn, though I do hope I can make more money.What about you
W: Wel1, I don't think being an office worker is very promising. I'm considering quitting my job and opening a restaurant experimenting with new food trends to make my dream a reality.
M: Don't you think engaging in an unknown area is a risky business these days
W: The old saying goes, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Sometimes we need to shake up our lives and do something different. These new things do have a level of risk. Things could go wrong. On the other hand,things could go very right.
M: Well, I do hope you'll succeed.
W: Thanks, Jim. Don't worry. I won't quit any time soon. There is still much work for me to do before I get to be my own boss, but I certainly will do it.
M: Good luck then.

W: Daniel,you really like trail running. How did you get interested in this sport
M: Well, some of my friends asked me to join them, but I thought it was boring. When I was taking my annual leave, I watched videos posted by trail runners on the social platform. I decided to give it a try. I started with casual hiking before trying trail running.
W: How did you feel that time
M: I felt great. I met some trail running enthusiasts. They encouraged me to join them. And I've never stopped ever since.
W: So did you have an exercise routine before you began trail running
