Xi’an China
Xi’an is no doubt one of the most popular tourist attractions in China. Every year, millions of travellers visit the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shihuang, which is one of the most amazing historic sites in the world.
As one of China’s great former capitals, Xi’an grew to be the largest city in the world during the Tang Dynasty, a golden age of art and poetry. Chang’an, as it was known at the time, was the starting point of the Silk Road, which connected China to the world. It was here that Xuan Zang set out on his famous travels, which became the basis of Journey to the West. Historic sites from that time include the two Wild Goose Pagodas and the remains of the Daming Palace, which was the centre of the Tang court (朝廷).
Today, Xi’an is a modern city, at the heart of China’s Belt and Road initiative (倡议), but its long history can be seen everywhere: it is one of the few cities in the world that still have city walls.

During this period, they along with other great minds, contributed valuable artworks and made important scientific discoveries.
Florence is filled with art, science and history museums and ancient buildings, as well as historic universities. You can visit many of these places to experience and admire the amazing work and discoveries that happened during the Renaissance period. An example is Michelangelo’s famous statue David, which he completed between 1501 and 1504. Another must-see is the University of Florence. It was started in 1321 and many famous people studied there in the Renaissance period.

Sean Elliot Martin and Pancho Timmons are friends on a mission (任务) to change the world, one small act of kindness at a time.
① That’s the subject of their new book, Quick and Easy World Change, which they published as an e-book.
“The premise (前提) is that you don’t really need to be a superstar or have a large amount of money to make the world a better place,” said Timmons, the founder of two organizations—Pennsylvania Youth Initiative and Connect in Effect.
② The project is inspired (启发) by another kindness-related book Martin worked on years ago. The latest one takes parts of the first book and updates it with more inspiring stories and lists of little things people can do daily to spread goodness wherever they go.
Just a little effort
③ For example, the book gives readers ideas for good things to do in 60 seconds, with only $1 or without even leaving the house. People are encouraged to get creative, too. “Make a game of giving—you can give yourself points for different little things,” Martin said.
It also addresses the concept of compound kindness—a domino (多米诺) effect of good deeds.
“If you praise one person, they’re likely to praise two to five people,” Martin said.
Paying it forward
④ Quick and Easy World Change is their way to pay those experiences and opinions forward.
For Timmons, a teacher’s compassion (同情) in college was a turning point for him.
“I did all the things I was supposed to do—worked hard, studied hard—and ended up failing the exams,” he recalled. “But the professor pulled me aside and said, ‘You’re an A student turning in C and D work because you’re clearly dyslexic (诵读困难的) and not getting the help you need.’”
“That 5-minute conversation was the difference between dropping out of college and getting two master’s degrees and now running two companies,” Timmons said. “I’ve spent my career trying to pay that forward.”
36. According to the passage, what can we know about Timmons?
A. He was pretty good at studying when in college.
B. He was influenced by his college teacher’s words.
C. He ran two companies when he was still a student.
D. He enjoyed being praised by others in his school life.
37. How did Martin explain what “compound kindness” is?
A. By solving a difficult problem. B. By telling an interesting story.
C. By describing a possible situation. D. By making a detailed comparison.
38. What is the correct order of the following events?
①Timmons continued studying to get two master’s degrees.
②Martin and Timmons worked together to published an e-book.
③Martin worked on his first kindness-related book by himself.
④What teacher said made a difference to Timmons’ study experience.
A.②③④① B.④①③② C.①③②④ D.④③②①
39. Where can we put the following sentence in the passage?
Both authors’ lives have been influenced by the kindness of others.
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
40. What is the best title for the passage?
A. True Friendship Lasts Long B. Every Minute Matters
C. Good Deeds Make a Difference D. Good Education Works

Chinese operas are traditional dramas including literature, music, dance, martial arts (武术), and acrobatics (杂技). There are many local Chinese operas and some enjoy great popularity. Among them, Beijing Opera is the most famous type of opera in China.
In the beginning, Beijing did not have its own style of opera.

The word ban means an opera company, while the world hui probably refers to Anhui Province. There were many famous Huiban groups performing in Yangzhou, and they performed various opera styles, including Erhuang and kunqu. Since Qianlong had enjoyed Huiban performances so much, four Huiban groups were invited to perform in Beijing for Oianlong’s 80th birthdav celebration in 1790, which proved successful. From then on, they lived in the capital, mostly pertorming for the palace, and then later also performing for the public. Over the years, Beijing Opera developed and changed, borrowing parts of other opera styles, particularly Kunqu Opera, which had been popular in the palace before 1790. Over time, it developed its own artistic style and a complete repertoire (表演体系). It is now considered as the crown of Chinese opera.
Singing, recitation, acting, and acrobatic fighting (唱、念、做、打) are the four artistic means and the four basic skills of Beijing Opera. Footwork (腿脚功夫) and other movements express the actions such as riding a horse, rowing a boat, opening a door, going upstairs, climbing a hill, or travelling. Beijing Opera is a number of stylized (非写实的) actions to tell a story or present different characters and their feclings of happiness, anger, sorrow, surprise, fear and sadness.
There are many famous masters who are good at performing Beijing Opera. Among them, the Four Famous Dans—Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng are the most well-known. They are experts in performing the role of Dan and each has its own artistic feature. Their wonderful performances are still praised by many people.
Beijing Opera is a prized form of theater in China. It continues to bring to life many ancient stories and heroes, which enchants (使陶醉) many Chinese people and foreIgners with its artistic charm. As the most influential type of opera in China, Beijing Opera is an important form of expression of the traditional culture of Chinese nations. It is sure that it is really the treasure of Chinese culture.

参考范文
I have some good study habits. They have affected my study greatly.
First of all, I often try to create an interest in what I learn. As the saying goes, “Interest is the best teacher.” When Ilearn something I am interested in, my brain is more active and it is also easier for me to focus on it for a long time. For example, I am a music fan, so I sometimes listen to English songs to practice my listening and speaking. In this way,I never get bored when learning English.
Second, I go over what I have learnt as often as possible. I often review all the notes I need to cover for each course, which helps me become more organized in study. Now I have become an active learner instead of a passive one.
I will keep these good study habits, and I believe I can learn more wisely and better in the future.

Xi’an China
Xi’an is no doubt one of the most popular tourist attractions in China. Every year, millions of travellers visit the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shihuang, which is one of the most amazing historic sites in the world.
As one of China’s great former capitals, Xi’an grew to be the largest city in the world during the Tang Dynasty, a golden age of art and poetry. Chang’an, as it was known at the time, was the starting point of the Silk Road, which connected China to the world. It was here that Xuan Zang set out on his famous travels, which became the basis of Journey to the West. Historic sites from that time include the two Wild Goose Pagodas and the remains of the Daming Palace, which was the centre of the Tang court (朝廷).
Today, Xi’an is a modern city, at the heart of China’s Belt and Road initiative (倡议), but its long history can be seen everywhere: it is one of the few cities in the world that still have city walls.

Sean Elliot Martin and Pancho Timmons are friends on a mission (任务) to change the world, one small act of kindness at a time.
① That’s the subject of their new book, Quick and Easy World Change, which they published as an e-book.
“The premise (前提) is that you don’t really need to be a superstar or have a large amount of money to make the world a better place,” said Timmons, the founder of two organizations—Pennsylvania Youth Initiative and Connect in Effect.
② The project is inspired (启发) by another kindness-related book Martin worked on years ago. The latest one takes parts of the first book and updates it with more inspiring stories and lists of little things people can do daily to spread goodness wherever they go.
Just a little effort
③ For example, the book gives readers ideas for good things to do in 60 seconds, with only $1 or without even leaving the house. People are encouraged to get creative, too. “Make a game of giving—you can give yourself points for different little things,” Martin said.
It also addresses the concept of compound kindness—a domino (多米诺) effect of good deeds.
“If you praise one person, they’re likely to praise two to five people,” Martin said.
Paying it forward
④ Quick and Easy World Change is their way to pay those experiences and opinions forward.
For Timmons, a teacher’s compassion (同情) in college was a turning point for him.
“I did all the things I was supposed to do—worked hard, studied hard—and ended up failing the exams,” he recalled. “But the professor pulled me aside and said, ‘You’re an A student turning in C and D work because you’re clearly dyslexic (诵读困难的) and not getting the help you need.’”
“That 5-minute conversation was the difference between dropping out of college and getting two master’s degrees and now running two companies,” Timmons said. “I’ve spent my career trying to pay that forward.”
36. According to the passage, what can we know about Timmons?
A. He was pretty good at studying when in college.
B. He was influenced by his college teacher’s words.
C. He ran two companies when he was still a student.
D. He enjoyed being praised by others in his school life.
37. How did Martin explain what “compound kindness” is?
A. By solving a difficult problem. B. By telling an interesting story.
C. By describing a possible situation. D. By making a detailed comparison.
38. What is the correct order of the following events?
①Timmons continued studying to get two master’s degrees.
②Martin and Timmons worked together to published an e-book.
③Martin worked on his first kindness-related book by himself.
④What teacher said made a difference to Timmons’ study experience.
A.②③④① B.④①③② C.①③②④ D.④③②①
39. Where can we put the following sentence in the passage?
Both authors’ lives have been influenced by the kindness of others.
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
40. What is the best title for the passage?
A. True Friendship Lasts Long B. Every Minute Matters
C. Good Deeds Make a Difference D. Good Education Works

Chinese operas are traditional dramas including literature, music, dance, martial arts (武术), and acrobatics (杂技). There are many local Chinese operas and some enjoy great popularity. Among them, Beijing Opera is the most famous type of opera in China.
In the beginning, Beijing did not have its own style of opera. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong (1711-1799) had seen and enjoyed some Huiban performances when he toured Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. The word ban means an opera company, while the world hui probably refers to Anhui Province. There were many famous Huiban groups performing in Yangzhou, and they performed various opera styles, including Erhuang and kunqu. Since Qianlong had enjoyed Huiban performances so much, four Huiban groups were invited to perform in Beijing for Oianlong’s 80th birthdav celebration in 1790, which proved successful. From then on, they lived in the capital, mostly pertorming for the palace, and then later also performing for the public. Over the years, Beijing Opera developed and changed, borrowing parts of other opera styles, particularly Kunqu Opera, which had been popular in the palace before 1790. Over time, it developed its own artistic style and a complete repertoire (表演体系). It is now considered as the crown of Chinese opera.
Singing, recitation, acting, and acrobatic fighting (唱、念、做、打) are the four artistic means and the four basic skills of Beijing Opera. Footwork (腿脚功夫) and other movements express the actions such as riding a horse, rowing a boat, opening a door, going upstairs, climbing a hill, or travelling. Beijing Opera is a number of stylized (非写实的) actions to tell a story or present different characters and their feclings of happiness, anger, sorrow, surprise, fear and sadness.
There are many famous masters who are good at performing Beijing Opera. Among them, the Four Famous Dans—Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng are the most well-known. They are experts in performing the role of Dan and each has its own artistic feature. Their wonderful performances are still praised by many people.
Beijing Opera is a prized form of theater in China. It continues to bring to life many ancient stories and heroes, which enchants (使陶醉) many Chinese people and foreIgners with its artistic charm. As the most influential type of opera in China, Beijing Opera is an important form of expression of the traditional culture of Chinese nations.

参考范文
I have some good study habits. They have affected my study greatly.
First of all, I often try to create an interest in what I learn. As the saying goes, “Interest is the best teacher.” When Ilearn something I am interested in, my brain is more active and it is also easier for me to focus on it for a long time. For example, I am a music fan, so I sometimes listen to English songs to practice my listening and speaking. In this way,I never get bored when learning English.
Second, I go over what I have learnt as often as possible. I often review all the notes I need to cover for each course, which helps me become more organized in study. Now I have become an active learner instead of a passive one.
I will keep these good study habits, and I believe I can learn more wisely and better in the future.
