Peple perfrm graceful mves, all while standing n a bamb strip in the river. Yu may think it’s a scene frm an art mvie, but actually it is a frm f intangible cultural heritage: bamb drifting (独竹漂).
Bamb drifting dated back t ver 2,000 years ag in the Chishui River area f Guizhu. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bzhu district f Zunyi city was knwn fr its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the ryal curt mre than 2,000 kilmeters t the nrth. With n transprtatin alng the Chishui River, peple had t stand n ne lg (原木) t drift dwn the river. Later, lcal peple began t cmpete alng the way and the game f wd drifting was brn. In the Qing Dynasty, wd drifting became bamb drifting because f bamb's lwer price.
Nw, cmmunities in Guizhu hld bamb drifting cmpetitins every year during Dragn Bat Festival. Due t the great strength and balance it takes fr ne t master this act, bamb drifting was included in the natinal intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritr f bamb drifting. Yang said the mst difficult part f bamb drifting was keeping ne’s balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing.” she tld.
“Usually, the bamb under yur feet is abut 9 meters lng, and the bamb in yur hands is abut 5 meters. If the length r diameter f the bamb is nt lng enugh, it will nt be buyant (有浮力的）enugh t flat. S we shuld fight against the water flw by cntinuusly changing the angle (角度).” Yang added.
But the lve fr the ancient skill keeps Yang ging. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year rund, in winter cld and summer heat.
Yang als prduces new ideas when spreading the culture f bamb drifting. Fr example, she cnnects dance with bamb drifting t make it mre graceful and wears hanfu when perfrming, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020. Yang registered n scial media platfrms and psted her vides. “I want t spread it t ther cuntries s that mre peple arund the wrld will like Chinese culture.” she tld China Daily.
28 What’s the main idea f Paragraph 2?
A. The use f bamb drifting.B. The birthplace f bamb drifting.
C. The acting skills fr bamb driftingD. The histrical develpment f bamb drifting.
29. Why was bamb drifting listed int the natinal intangible cultural heritage?
A. It spreads Chinese culture t the wrld
B. It enjys great ppularity amng Guizhu peple.
C. It’s physically and technically demanding fr perfrmers.
D. It’s an imprtant activity during the Dragn Bat Festival.
30. What is the mst challenging fr bamb drifting?
A. Keeping ne’s balance.B. Perfrming graceful mves.
C. Chsing bambs f prper size.D. Cntinuusly changing the angle

In Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Plnius asks the prince, “What are yu reading, my Lrd?” Hamlet replies, “Wrds, wrds, wrds.” Either, as is likely, Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, r, less likely, he didn’t understand the wrds he was reading. In this case, Plnius shuld have lent Hamlet a gd dictinary.
Dictinaries are essential tls fr peple wh like t read. There are s many wrds in English that even the mst educated persn will smetimes meet an unfamiliar wrd and have t lk it up. Languages keep changing, t, with new wrds cnstantly being added and new meanings being applied t ld wrds. Fr example, the 12th editin f Xinhua Dictinary, the mst ppular dictinary in China, has added new wrds such as “chu xin” “fen si” “er wei ma” etc. As fr new meanings, “girl” nce meant “a small child f either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean yu were “enjying playing tricks”; it meant yu were pr.
A printed dictinary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why mst dictinaries have websites and apps t help yu keep up-t-date. Hwever, I still prefer printed dictinaries because they give yu mre definitins and mre examples f hw a wrd is used. Even a simple wrd, such as “set”, has 430 meanings (the mst f English wrds) but an nline dictinary wuld nly ffer tw r three. A printed dictinary als gives yu the pprtunity t discver new wrds as yu run yur finger dwn the page lking fr the wrd yu want.
There is n “fficial” English dictinary, but the Oxfrd English Dictinary is cnsidered t be the best. Fr English language learners, hwever, I wuld recmmend the Cllins COBUILD Dictinary fr Advanced Learners. Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a cllege student. He wuld have appreciated the Cllins Dictinary t help himself with his wrds, wrds, wrds. This dictinary has ver 40,000 wrds and gives yu full-sentence definitins with gd examples f hw wrds are used.
32. What’s the functin f paragraph 1?
A. T intrduce the tpic.
B. T let the readers knw mre abut HAMLET.
C. T aruse readers’ interest in Shakespeare.
D. T explain when it’s necessary t use a dictinary.
33. Why des the authr mentin “girl” in paragraph 2?
A. T shw hw pwerful Xinhua Dictinary is.
B. T supprt the idea: languages keep changing.
C. T prve new wrds are being added t dictinaries.
D. T imply “girl” als means “by” in sme cases.
34. What’s the authr’s attitude t printed dictinaries?
A. Favrable.B. Ambiguus.C. Negative.D. Critical.
35. What’s the authr’s purpse f writing the last paragraph?
A. T intrduce the histry f dictinaries.
B. T call n learners t use dictinaries.
C. T recmmend Cllins Dictinary.
D. T explain why Hamlet likes Cllins.

Peple perfrm graceful mves, all while standing n a bamb strip in the river. Yu may think it’s a scene frm an art mvie, but actually it is a frm f intangible cultural heritage: bamb drifting (独竹漂).
Bamb drifting dated back t ver 2,000 years ag in the Chishui River area f Guizhu. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bzhu district f Zunyi city was knwn fr its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the ryal curt mre than 2,000 kilmeters t the nrth. With n transprtatin alng the Chishui River, peple had t stand n ne lg (原木) t drift dwn the river. Later, lcal peple began t cmpete alng the way and the game f wd drifting was brn. In the Qing Dynasty, wd drifting became bamb drifting because f bamb's lwer price.
Nw, cmmunities in Guizhu hld bamb drifting cmpetitins every year during Dragn Bat Festival. Due t the great strength and balance it takes fr ne t master this act, bamb drifting was included in the natinal intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritr f bamb drifting. Yang said the mst difficult part f bamb drifting was keeping ne’s balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing.” she tld.
“Usually, the bamb under yur feet is abut 9 meters lng, and the bamb in yur hands is abut 5 meters. If the length r diameter f the bamb is nt lng enugh, it will nt be buyant (有浮力的）enugh t flat. S we shuld fight against the water flw by cntinuusly changing the angle (角度).” Yang added.
But the lve fr the ancient skill keeps Yang ging. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year rund, in winter cld and summer heat.
Yang als prduces new ideas when spreading the culture f bamb drifting. Fr example, she cnnects dance with bamb drifting t make it mre graceful and wears hanfu when perfrming, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020. Yang registered n scial media platfrms and psted her vides. “I want t spread it t ther cuntries s that mre peple arund the wrld will like Chinese culture.” she tld China Daily.
28 What’s the main idea f Paragraph 2?

In Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Plnius asks the prince, “What are yu reading, my Lrd?” Hamlet replies, “Wrds, wrds, wrds.” Either, as is likely, Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, r, less likely, he didn’t understand the wrds he was reading. In this case, Plnius shuld have lent Hamlet a gd dictinary.
Dictinaries are essential tls fr peple wh like t read. There are s many wrds in English that even the mst educated persn will smetimes meet an unfamiliar wrd and have t lk it up. Languages keep changing, t, with new wrds cnstantly being added and new meanings being applied t ld wrds. Fr example, the 12th editin f Xinhua Dictinary, the mst ppular dictinary in China, has added new wrds such as “chu xin” “fen si” “er wei ma” etc. As fr new meanings, “girl” nce meant “a small child f either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean yu were “enjying playing tricks”; it meant yu were pr.
A printed dictinary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why mst dictinaries have websites and apps t help yu keep up-t-date. Hwever, I still prefer printed dictinaries because they give yu mre definitins and mre examples f hw a wrd is used. Even a simple wrd, such as “set”, has 430 meanings (the mst f English wrds) but an nline dictinary wuld nly ffer tw r three. A printed dictinary als gives yu the pprtunity t discver new wrds as yu run yur finger dwn the page lking fr the wrd yu want.
There is n “fficial” English dictinary, but the Oxfrd English Dictinary is cnsidered t be the best. Fr English language learners, hwever, I wuld recmmend the Cllins COBUILD Dictinary fr Advanced Learners. Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a cllege student. He wuld have appreciated the Cllins Dictinary t help himself with his wrds, wrds, wrds. This dictinary has ver 40,000 wrds and gives yu full-sentence definitins with gd examples f hw wrds are used.
32. What’s the functin f paragraph 1?
A. T intrduce the tpic.
B. T let the readers knw mre abut HAMLET.
C. T aruse readers’ interest in Shakespeare.
D. T explain when it’s necessary t use a dictinary.
33. Why des the authr mentin “girl” in paragraph 2?
A. T shw hw pwerful Xinhua Dictinary is.
B. T supprt the idea: languages keep changing.
C. T prve new wrds are being added t dictinaries.
D. T imply “girl” als means “by” in sme cases.
34. What’s the authr’s attitude t printed dictinaries?
A. Favrable.B. Ambiguus.C. Negative.D. Critical.
35. What’s the authr’s purpse f writing the last paragraph?
A. T intrduce the histry f dictinaries.
B. T call n learners t use dictinaries.
C. T recmmend Cllins Dictinary.
D. T explain why Hamlet likes Cllins.
