China has seen significant achievements in improving the environment and green development over the past 70 years, especially in fighting against desertification (沙漠化).

Desertification was a serious problem in the 1990s. It caused deadly sandstorms, which arrived like big black walls reaching up into the sky. As President Xi Jinping has said, clear waters and lush (繁茂的) mountains are invaluable assets (资产). Efforts to create “green” areas have played a crucial role in the country’s fight against desertification. 

A series of campaigns have been conducted by the central government to improve the environment. For example, in 1998, China launched the Natural Forest Protection Program. Thanks to the program, forest coverage in China increased greatly from 12 percent in the 1980s to nearly 23 percent last year.

Another example of the campaign is the Elion Resources Group, which has been recognized by the UN for the development of a desert eco-industry that has slowed desertification.

In Kubuqi, a desert in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Elion has greened 600,000 hectares of land and helped lift more than 102,000 people out of poverty through the development of solar energy and tourism, as well as planting herbs for traditional Chinese medicine.

In addition, the group’s techniques have also been used in many important ecological programs, including Yangtze River Ecological Park and Qilian Mountain National Park.

“We will develop new ways to improve our ability to control the sand with the help of modern technologies, such as drones (无人机), AI, big data and the internet of things,” said Ao Baoping, chief executive officer of Elion Green Land Technology.

4. What is the key measure to fight against desertification?

A. Building walls to block sands. B. Increasing green plants.

C. Turning to the UN for help. D. Keeping mountains natural.

5. What is the effect of the Natural Forest Protection Program?

A. The environment in China has become satisfactory.

B Similar new campaigns will be carried out by China.

C. No more trees need to be planted in our country.

D. More areas in China are covered with forest.

6. What do we know about Elion Resources Group according to the passage?

A. Its main aim was to lift local people out of poverty.

B. It made Kubuqi become a center for planting herbs.

C. It got inspiration from many ecological programs.

D. It will apply modern technologies to fight desertification.

7. What is a suitable title for the passage?

A. Desert Clothed With Green Through China’s Efforts

B. Environmental Problems Solved by Planting More Trees

C. Great Contributions Made by Elion to The Environment

D. Advanced Science And Technology Applied in China

C

How would human beings react if we found out we’re not alone in the universe? What if we knew an alien civilization was to invade (入侵) Earth? What would we do?

These are the questions asked in The Three-Body Problem. When a secret military project sends signals into space to get in touch with aliens, an alien civilization in face of destruction receives the signals and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, people begin to separate into different groups: those who welcome aliens and those who want to fight against them.

The novel was written by Chinese author Liu Cixin and published in 2008. Translated into English in 2014 and almost 20 languages since, it was called an absolute “must-read in any language” by Booklist magazine. Liu has won several awards for it and in 2015, he became the first Asian to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, the highest award in science fiction.

Just from the title, one could imagine that the text might be heavy with physics terms (术语). But as US writer Jason Heller said: “Indeed this science fiction is full of lengthy passages explaining technical terms. But Liu Cixin supports all of that burning-brain theory with empathetic (感同身受) characters and thrilling story plots.”

At the very heart of science fiction — and what makes it truly appealing to readers — is the concept of an uncertain future. This allows the author to push the boundaries of readers’ imaginations. Liu fully uses this approach to keep readers anxiously turning the page. While reading, they ask themselves, “What would I do?”

In an interview with The New York Times, Liu said, “China is on the path of rapid modernization and progress, kind of like the US during the golden age of science fiction in the 1930s to the 1960s. The future in the people’s eyes is full of attractions and hope, but also threats and challenges. That makes for very fertile soil.”

8. Why does the author ask the 3 questions in Paragraph 1?

A. To warn us of the crisis Earth is faced with.

B. To introduce the novel The Three-Body Problem.

C. To show the author’s worries about Earth.

D. To remind us to watch out for alien civilizations.

9. What can we know about the novel according to the passage?

A. It is about a fight between aliens and an army on Earth.

B. It was translated into many languages once published.

C. It has gained worldwide recognition and great success.

D. It targets the readers with a good knowledge of physics.

10. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. Explaining very difficult physics terms.

B. Exploring the boundaries of readers’ imaginations.

C. Applying the concept of an uncertain future.

D. Encouraging readers to ask themselves questions.

11. What does Liu mean in the last paragraph?

A. China is now in the golden age of science fiction.

B. The USA authors can’t create science fiction now.

C. Now Chinese people are confused about the future.

D. China’s progress mainly depends on fertile soil.

Lily loved school. However, there was one class Lily worried about more than any other — art. She didn’t know why she just wasn’t good at drawing or painting.

Ms. Clay, the art teacher, stood in the front of the room. “Boys and girls, an art competition will be held in our school,” she announced. Ms. Clay was a great teacher, and Lily liked her a lot. But this announcement made Lily nervous. “Every one of the 210 students in the school is required to create a piece of artwork. Any type of artwork is welcomed. Next Friday you will have to hand in your artworks.” Ms. Clay was quite excited when she spoke while Lily found herself sinking lower in her chair.

Lily had the whole weekend to work on her artwork, but she could not think of anything to do. On Monday, Lily felt discouraged, so after school Lily went to Ms. Clay and asked if there was any possibility that she wouldn’t enter the competition.

“I understand it may worry and upset you, Lily,” Ms. Clay said. “But just remember: art isn’t always painting or drawing. It can be something else. I am sure you can think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.”

When Lily arrived home, she sat at the table and was lost in thought. She thought of Ms. Clay’s words. “Art isn’t always painting or drawing. It can be something else.” Staring at her table, suddenly she was attracted to a pair of scissors and some paper.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右。
