One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the guqin. one of the four arts 一 along with go, calligraphy（书 法）and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and stands for China's solo musical instrument tradition.
At first, the guqin had only five strings（弓玄）, meaning the five elements（元 素）of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in Zhou Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.
Ambience was important in playing the guqin. Usually, it was practiced in a quiet setting and never for public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes （回音）from the mountains, until the musician felt he was at one with nature. Playing it m snow was also an enjoyable activity for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered wonderful for playing the guqin. Wang Wei （701 -761）, a highly talented man of the Tang Dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.
Guqin pieces are usually three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling lerse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.
Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only one hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（人类非物质文化遗产）in 2003.
46. Today, the guqin has _______________ strings.
A. four B. five C. six D. seven
47. What’s the meaning of the underlined word "Ambience" in Paragraph 3?
A. 演奏技巧 B. 环境氛围 C. 天气状况 D. 弹奏曲目
48. According to the passage, playing the guqin ____________ is a right choice.
A. at a quiet restaurant B. at a welcome party
C. in a peaceful yard with flowers D. on a dark night with rainstorm
49. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The guqin has a history of less than 3000 years.
B. The strings mean metal, wood, water, fire and stone.
C. The longest guqin piece is Guangling Verse.
D. The guqin is very popular and many people can play it.
50. What does the passage mainly talk about?

I m a plastic bottle. A week ago, 1 was on a supermarket shelf. 1 had a normal little and felt really happy. Then a tall woman picked me up and drank the water inside me. She threw me into a bin. I have never felt so empty in my life.
Early the next morning, a man took me out of the bin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I became much thinner.
I slept for a while. When I woke up, 1 found myself in a terrible place. Every由ing around me was ugly and had terrible smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else, l hen huge trucks came and covered us with earth.
I asked another bottle what would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this terrible crowded place, but would have to stay here for thousands of years.
“Why can’t they reuse or recycle us?" I cried.
