China is famous for silk. But do you know the story of silk?
About 4,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered the secret of the cocoon. No one knows exactly how or when this important discovery was made. One story says that a young princess was drinking tea in her garden and watching silkworms spin cocoons. By chance one dropped into her tea and the hot tea made it soft. When the girl tried to take the cocoon out of her tea, it became separated and she pulled out a long silk thread.
The Chinese learned to weave (编织) the silk thread into cloth. For 2,000 years, they were the only people who knew how to make silk. The Chinese businessmen sold silk cloth throughout Asia and Europe and became rich. Silk was so expensive that it was called "the cloth of kings". Everyone wanted to learn how to make silk, but the Chinese kept the secret carefully.
Finally, the secret was stolen. In the sixth century, two monks learned about the silkworms and their cocoons. They spent several years in China and finally found a way to take some silkworm eggs out of the country. The monks always carried bamboo canes. One day they hid some silkworm eggs in the hollow canes, and walked out of China with them. It's said that the development of the silk industry in other countries came from those few eggs which the monks had carried out of China.

Zhang Qian had to stay with them for about lo years before he got away. When he finally reached the Yue-chi in the North India, he was disappointed to find that they didn't want to fight against the Xiongnu people.
On his return journey, he was caught again. It was not until 125 BC that he returned to China. Although Zhang Qian didn't finish his job, he learned a lot about the places, people, customs and cultures of the 36 kingdoms (王国) in the Western Regions.

第一节 大意总结（共1题，满分15分）
读下面介绍中国传统艺术的文章，总结传统艺术的形式，应该尽可能多地用你自己的话。
Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.
According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Paper cutting has been around for over l,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.
Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters from a Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.
