S. concertC. a music group D. an American music groupB There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route the city planners made for us.Parkour (跑酷) practitioners, however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are  no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and  under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG)  has noticed that this activity is attracting more and more people to it—there are 100，000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to TheGuardian—and   how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination (协调) and balance. So, the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the 2024 Olympics.However, parkour practitioners themselves don't seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”， wrote the website Next Sport Star.“It's a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways”， wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes   while freeing themselves from the pressure.It's great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.5．How do the parkour practitioners travel within the city?A．By following fixed routes.B．By cycling.C．By using their own ways.D．By taking a bus.6．What does FIG think of parkour?A．It is a dangerous sport.B．It should be an Olympic sport.C．It is becoming a normal sport.D．It can become a healthy sport.7．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A．Parkour is a lifestyle in the practitioners' eyes.B．Parkour is a daily routine for the reporter.C．Parkour is already an Olympic sport.D．Parkour should follow the designed ways.8．What is the writer's attitude toward parkour?A．Negative.    B．Unconcerned.C．Worried.     D.Objective.                                           C  Many Americans find silence uncomfortable while staying in a buffet（自助餐） or at a dinner. So in the United States there is a widespread practice of making “small talk” in certain social situations. Small talk deals with various topics superficially， simply for the sake of keeping a conversation going. The topics might include the weather， sports， college courses， clothing， food， etc. Small talk is especially useful at social gatherings when you meet someone for the first time， or when polite conversation is expected but no serious discussion is desired.It is common but not necessarily expected that one knows someone in a group before engaging with him or her in conversation. However， at a party or other informal social gathering， a simple “May I join you？” and a self-introduction is normally sufficient to gain acceptance into a group and to join in a conversation. In some places， such as the lobby of a concert hall or theatre， a waiting room or a classroom， it is common for strangers to start a conversation even without an introduction.Despite the informal phenomenon that is all over the US society， people in the States expect those whom they speak to to put aside whatever they are doing and listening. As a rule， the conversation distance between two people is at least two or three feet. Standing more closely will make many Americans feel uneasy.9. What's probably not the common topic for small talk？ A. Weather.         B. Doing shopping.C. Career design.     D. Paper news.10. The underlined word “superficially” in the first paragraph is nearest in meaning to ___.A. seriously     B. deeply     C. thoroughly     D. generally11. Which of the following statements is WRONG？A. People in the US hate standing too close while talking.B. A small talk is usually carried out between acquaintances （熟人）.C. Even strangers can start a conversation without an introduction.D. It's uncomfortable for many Americans to keep silent during waiting time.                                           D Ancient China produced many types of beautiful works of art. Among them, calligraphy (书法), poetry (诗歌) and painting are the most famous. Often they would be put together in art.These became important starting with the Song dynasty.Calligraphy is the art of handwriting. In the old times the Chinese considered writing as an important form of art. Calligraphers would practice for years to learn to write perfectly, but with style. Each of the over 40,000 characters (汉字) needed to be written correctly. And each stroke (笔画) in a character had to be written in a certain order.Poetry is also an important form of art. Great poets were famous all over the country, and all educated people were expected to write poetry. During the Tang dynasty poetry was so important that writing poetry was part of the examinations to become a civil servant (文官)and work for the government.Chinese painting is often connected with calligraphy. It is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world. The most traditional way of Chinese painting is known as “national painting” or “native painting” which is quite different from Western painting. People can draw mountains, buildings, birds, trees and water.12. Calligraphers needed to write over _____ characters correctly in the old times.A. 10,000 B. 20,000 C. 30,000 D. 40,00013. What was part of the civil servant examinations during the Tang dynasty?A. Painting. B. Calligraphy. C. Writing poetry. D. Playing music.14 .
