I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My grandfather was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals (脚蹬子) and start cycling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn’t.

As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from cycling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes (车闸) and fell right off the bike. My grandfather kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.

As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. My grandfather decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up brightly and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn’t that afraid of falling anymore.

Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather’s help. After all, riding a bike was indeed what I wanted to do eagerly.

4．How was the author when he was on the bike first?

A．He didn’t know where he would be going.

B．He thought balancing himself was easy.

6．What is the author’s attitude towards his grandfather?

A．Supportive. B．Thankful. C．Indifferent. D．Negative.

7．Which of the following could be a suitable title for the passage?

A．The Experience of My First Riding a Bike

B．The Difficulty I Met with My Grandfather

C．The First Time I Got My Own Bike

D．The Happy Moment When I Stayed with My Grandfather

Chinese traditional painting and dance are two vital parts of the art world. But what about when they meet each other?

This year, a dance drama titled Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting (《只此青绿》) was staged on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala and became a hit.

According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 900-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its huge size, rich coloration and the expressive details, reported CCTV. It shows a Chinese blue-green landscape: “mountains and groupings of infinite rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling water”.

When the dancers moved elegantly, audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers. “It brings me a pure experience of beauty. It is not only a drama but also an ‘exhibition’. Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review. “More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still wow people as they did long ago.”

Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later. In fact, in recent years, more and more modern shows pay attention to Chinese traditional culture and have received warm welcome. As for why, it is due to people's great love for traditional culture.

“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. They hug Chinese culture and are proud of it.” Yao Wei, director of Henan TV Station’s Innovation Center, told China Daily.

8．What is the function of paragraph I in the passage?

A．To present a common phenomenon.

B．To ask readers’ a question.

C．To describe the art world.

D．To introduce the topic.

9．What can we learn about the painting “A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains ”from the text?

A．It was painted in several bright colors.

B．It shows natural beauty vividly.

C．It was created over a thousand years ago.

D．It is of small size but includes great details.

10．Why are shows about Chinese traditional culture becoming popular according to Yao Wei?

A．People are more open to traditional culture.

B．People are happy to see new forms of art.

C．Chinese culture has been spreading around the world.

D．People have gained more access to traditional culture.

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

A．Passion for Chinese Traditional Arts.

B．Art Coming Alive Through Dance.

C．Beauty Presented in Poetic Dance.

D．Highlights in Traditional Chinese Culture.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements (代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

12．What is the meaning of the underlined words in paragraph 2?

A．resource-using B．resource-developing

C．resource-protecting D．resource-controlling

13．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of power walking according to the passage?

A．It is environmentally-friendly. B．It improves our health.

C．It is simple and free. D．It can make you put on weight.

14．Which sport is the writer most likely to advise us to do?

A．Playing basketball in a gym. B．Motor racing in the desert.

C．Cycling around a lake. D．Swimming in a sports center.

15．What is the main purpose of writing the passage?

A．To show us some major outdoor sports.

B．To encourage us to go in for green sports.

C．To discuss the influence of some popular sports.

D．To introduce some environmentally-friendly sports.
