The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City（《我在故宫修文物》）does not just focus on the stories of the past.

Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec. 16, focuses on ordinary people-the restorers（修复者）of relics and antiquities（古董）.

The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.

“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.

A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship（工艺）in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance（忍耐）, loneliness…All these qualities come from the craftsman spirit. ”

But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.

One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Puyi, the last emperor of the Oing Dynasty.”

Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.

4. According to the text, what’s the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City?

A. To show people how antiques are restored

B. To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people

C. To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives

D. To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers

5. What can we learn from what Wang Lin says in paragraph4?

A. He often gets tired with his work B. There is no need to do restoration work fast

C. Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful D. It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration

6. What does the underlined word “humdrum” in paragraph 5 mean?

A. Boring B. Different C. Relaxing D. Unusual

7. What is the purpose of the bicyle-riding scene in the documentary?

A. To remind the audience of the last Qing emperor

B. To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers

C. To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future

D. To show that the documentary breaks from the old, dull image of antique restorers

C

After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.

Together, these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, "Why? Why? Why?"

Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.

"The great man," said Mencius（孟子）, "is he who does not lose his child's heart. " Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.

Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.

How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.

One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability? Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time? That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.

However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.

8. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.

A. propose a definition B. make a comparison

C. reach a conclusion D. present an argument

9. What does the example of Galileo tell us?

A Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.

B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.

C Creativity results from challenging authority.

D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.

10. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?

A. Observe the unknown around you.

B. Develop a questioning mind.

C. Lead a life of adventure.

D. Follow the fashion.

11. What could be the best title of the passage?

A. Curious Minds Never Feel Contented

B. Reflections on Human Nature

C. The Keys to Achievement

D. Never Too Late to Learn

D

Police should be allowed to use facial recognition to investigate specific crimes and to protect the public at major events, according to the first national survey of the public's attitude to the technology. However, they are opposed to unrestricted use while two thirds (65 percent) of the public believe an absolute ban on the police would be wrong, Up to 70 percent backed its use to analyse faces on CCTV (闭路电视) to catch a suspect in an investigation or in day-to-day policing to prevent crime at events such as football matches or carnivals, The technology enables police to scan crowds and pick out faces that match huge databases of suspects.

There is, however, far less tolerance of its use by private (私人的) companies, whether to monitor shoppers or workers, or in schools if it was to be used to track children's behaviour or expressions. By a majority of almost two to one, the public believes that organizations should seek the permission of people before they start using facial recognition. Most also want a pause on any further use of the technology until publicly-agreed guidelines are in place on when and where it should be used.

More than half (55 percent) of the public believe the Government should limit police use of facial recognition to criminal investigations, though half also saw it as no different to taking photographs or using CCTV. Of those who were comfortable with its use, 80 percent said it was because it was “beneficial for the security of society”,

There was also a majority in favour of the technology where there was personal benefit, with 54 percent backing its use to unlock a smartphone by recognizing an owner’s face and with passport checks at airports where it can speed up queues.

12. Why is the technology of facial recognition significant to the police?

A. It helps them better investigate criminal cases.

B. It is a good way to control private companies.

C. It can recognize and catch suspects.

D. It mainly gets fully support from all walks of life.

13. What can we know about the technology according to paragraph 2?

A. It is believed to go against publicly-agreed guidelines.

B. It is helpful to track students’ behavior at home.

C. It is a potential threat to privacy.

D. It is popular among shoppers, workers and private companies.

14. What conclusion can we draw about the application of the technology?

A. It should be banned totally.

B. It should be open to police undoubtedly.

C. It is a double-edged sword.

D. It benefits the society in every aspect.

15. What is the best title for the text?

A. Should the police free use facial recognition?

B. Should facial recognition be applied to airports?

C. Should facial recognition protect the privacy of the public?

D. Should private companies use facial recognition without limit?
