“When I lked at the histry f the university and hw peple are devted t the schl’s art prgrams, I was hnred by the chance t wrk there. I culd nt wait fr the next day t start my jb. And that excitement never changed because every day was different. My jb as dean was nt scheduled. I walked arund the campus and students talked t me. I went t rehearsals (排演) by the students and teachers and gt inspired by them,” he adds.
After nearly three decades as the Dean f Music at Yale, the 77-year-ld retired frm the psitin n Aug 31. Als an expert pianist, he remains a prfessr f pian at the music schl, as well as prfessr f leadership strategies at Yale Schl f Management. Amng his cuntless cntributins as dean, Blcker develped lng-term relatinships with fellw musicians in China. He nce tured cities, including Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hangzhu, giving lectures t the yungsters.
“China is a very special place fr me. I am very happy t be back after the pandemic (疫情) t meet my friends and clleagues,” Blcker says, adding that he is particularly excited abut being with yung students.
Yang Suxian, directr f the Shenzhen Pian Music Festival, says, “He has been very supprtive and has participated in the Shenzhen Pian Music Festival fr years, even during the pandemic.”
Blcker’s visin f a mre hpeful wrld is reflected in his belief that music bridges the understanding between peple.
“Music brings hpe. Peple may speak different languages and have different ideas but music speaks t each ther’s heart, and that’s why we keep this wrk ging n and why the wrk never ends,” he says, “Our jb is t let music heal the wrld by allwing us t understand and find a cmmn place in ur hearts.”

Handwritten Chinese characters can be beautiful. I still remember lking at Chinese and nt understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strng attractin. In fact, sme students start learning Chinese because f the characters. After having studied Chinese fr a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very lng time t learn.
Living as we d in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphnes and cmputers, mst students sner r later ask themselves this questin: Is it really necessary t learn hw t write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphnes r cmputers, we can use phnetic input (语音输入) systems, which chse the characters we want fr us as lng as we can remember hw they are prnunced. Since we enter different characters, we seldm need t be able t recgnize the difference between individual (每个) characters in detail; the cmputer makes the right chices fr us. D we really need t write Chinese by hand at all?
I think mst peple agree that yu shuld learn t write at least sme characters at sme pint as a student f Chinese, althugh nt necessarily straight away and nt necessarily all the characters that yu can say. But unless yu dn’t care abut written language at all, yu shuld learn the basics f handwriting. Withut it, it will be very hard t understand characters. Yu dn’t need t be a calligraphy master, but yu d need basic handwriting skills t d this. Simply lking at things is, as usual, a bad way f learning.I think learning the mst cmmn 500 characters r s is a gd idea fr all students. If yu actually want t write by hand, extend (扩大) that t 1,000. Then learn t handwrite characters utside f the 1,000 mst cmmn n a need-t-knw basis.
28. What des the authr think f Chinese characters?
A. They attract sme freigners t learn Chinese.
B. They shw the greatness f Chinese culture.
C. They are less cmmunicative than English wrds.
D. They are nt really that difficult.
29. What can we infer abut characters in Paragraph 2?
A. Characters are very difficult fr freigners t learn.
B. Peple believe learning t write characters is imprtant.
C. Characters may disappear with the develpment f sciety.
D. Peple dubt the necessity f learning t write characters.
30. What des the underlined wrd “this” in Paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Being a calligraphy master. B. Understanding characters.
C. Keeping a gd learning habit. D. Learning basic handwriting skills.
31. What is the authr’s attitude t learning t write characters in the digital age?
A. Wrried. B. Surprised. C. Supprtive. D. Uncaring.
D
Dragns, a famus imaginary beast brn frm fantasy, are ften present in stries in the west and east. In bth cultures, dragns are generally recgnized as massive creatures capable f flight. They have great pwer and are ften assciated with magical abilities. Hwever, due t their different cultural rts and images, there exist significant differences in the way dragns are regarded in the west and east, particularly in China.
Chinese dragns mst resemble snakes, and have fur claws and n wings. They ften have features f ther animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. In the cntrast, Western dragns lk like huge lizards with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are ften shwn with spines r rugh scales.
In traditinal Chinese culture, a dragn is a symbl f luck, pwer and high status. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall t the fields t ensure rich harvests. They are cnsidered divine(神圣的) creatures, which hld an imprtant psitin as the head f the fur spirits. Therefre, t symblize their pwer, ancient Chinese emperrs decrated their clthes with dragn patterns. These clthes are knwn as dragn rbes. Many Chinese view the dragn as a natinal symbl, prudly referring t themselves as “descendants f the dragn”. In the west, hwever, a dragn symblizes an evil creature that spreads vilence and terrr thrughut the land. They are believed t be transfrmed by the devil, with the ability t breathe fire r spit pisn. Many western tales shw dragns being defeated and killed t prtect peple frm danger.
Tday, dragns cntinue t evlve, exceeding traditinal bundaries and finding new significance in glbal culture. They are n lnger assciated with evil r gd, but rather as cmplex characters with their wn unique persnalities and mtivatins. Fr example, Tthless frm Hw t Train Yur Dragn begins as a dangerus dragn but evlves int a misunderstd being with lve and cmpassin. This challenges the idea f dragns as naturally evil, presenting them as cmplex beings with emtins and mtivatins.
32. What d western dragns and eastern dragns have in cmmn?
A. They have rugh skin.B. They are huge and pwerful.
C. They are in the shape f snakes.D. They have big claws and wings.
33. What d we knw frm paragraph 3?
A. Western dragns are a symbl f authrity.
B. Dragns in China can prtect peple frm danger.
C. Chinese dragns can cntrl rainfall and breathe fire.
D. Dragns are believed t cause chas in western culture.
34. What is new abut dragns in tday’s glbal culture?
A. They are regarded as adventurus creatures.
B. They are clsely assciated with evil r gd.
C. They have mre diverse emtins and persnalities.
D. They tend t represent human spirits facing challenges.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. The Dragn Elements in Glbal Culture
B. The Origin f Dragns in Chinese Histry
C. The Magical Animals in Different Cuntries
D. The Images f Dragns in Western Traditins

Fd plays an essential rle in ur lives and rightfully s: The fd we eat is related t ur culture. 36 . Dn’t believe me? Here’s why fd is the best way t understand a culture:
37
It desn’t matter where yu’re frm—yu have t eat. Yur scial culture mst likely develped frm the need t eat. Once they surpassed hunting and gathering, many early civilizatins rganized themselves in ways that prmted fd distributin and prductin. That als meant that the animals, land and resurces yu were near gverned what yu’d cnsume and hw yu’d prepare and ck it.
Fd preservatin techniques are unique t climates and lifestyles.
Ever wnder why the prcess t preserve meat is s different arund the wrld? 38 . In Mrcc, if preserved crrectly, Khlea, a dish, is still gd fr tw years when stred at rm temperature. That makes much sense in Mrcc, which has had a strng nmadic(游牧的) ppulatin, desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.
The main lcal cuisines illustrate histrical eating patterns.
Sme scieties have cuisines that are entirely based n meat, and thers are almst entirely plant-based. India’s cuisine is extremely varied frm regin t regin, with meat and wheat heavy dishes in the far nrth, t spectacular fish delicacies in the east, t rice-based vegetarian diets in the suth. 39 .
Fd turism.
40 . A fd turist wn’t just fcus n having a pint at Oktberfest, but will be interested in learning the German beer making prcess, and pssibly hw they can make their wn fresh beer. Since their interest in fd is mre than meal deep, the turists have the chance t learn lcal preparatin techniques that can lead t ther aspects f a particular regin’s culture.
A. Fd affects the civilizatin
B. Fd is a universal necessity
C. And the western part is hme t strict vegetarians
D. Sme peple have a trip just fr enjying the fd
E. It has t d with lcal resurces, needs, and climates
F. Yu can learn much abut a particular culture by explring their fd
G. Sme peple have taken the cmbinatin f fd and culture t a new level

“When I lked at the histry f the university and hw peple are devted t the schl’s art prgrams, I was hnred by the chance t wrk there. I culd nt wait fr the next day t start my jb. And that excitement never changed because every day was different. My jb as dean was nt scheduled. I walked arund the campus and students talked t me. I went t rehearsals (排演) by the students and teachers and gt inspired by them,” he adds.
After nearly three decades as the Dean f Music at Yale, the 77-year-ld retired frm the psitin n Aug 31. Als an expert pianist, he remains a prfessr f pian at the music schl, as well as prfessr f leadership strategies at Yale Schl f Management. Amng his cuntless cntributins as dean, Blcker develped lng-term relatinships with fellw musicians in China.

“China is a very special place fr me. I am very happy t be back after the pandemic (疫情) t meet my friends and clleagues,” Blcker says, adding that he is particularly excited abut being with yung students.
Yang Suxian, directr f the Shenzhen Pian Music Festival, says, “He has been very supprtive and has participated in the Shenzhen Pian Music Festival fr years, even during the pandemic.”
Blcker’s visin f a mre hpeful wrld is reflected in his belief that music bridges the understanding between peple.

Handwritten Chinese characters can be beautiful. I still remember lking at Chinese and nt understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strng attractin. In fact, sme students start learning Chinese because f the characters. After having studied Chinese fr a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very lng time t learn.
Living as we d in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphnes and cmputers, mst students sner r later ask themselves this questin: Is it really necessary t learn hw t write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphnes r cmputers, we can use phnetic input (语音输入) systems, which chse the characters we want fr us as lng as we can remember hw they are prnunced. Since we enter different characters, we seldm need t be able t recgnize the difference between individual (每个) characters in detail; the cmputer makes the right chices fr us. D we really need t write Chinese by hand at all?
I think mst peple agree that yu shuld learn t write at least sme characters at sme pint as a student f Chinese, althugh nt necessarily straight away and nt necessarily all the characters that yu can say. But unless yu dn’t care abut written language at all, yu shuld learn the basics f handwriting. Withut it, it will be very hard t understand characters. Yu dn’t need t be a calligraphy master, but yu d need basic handwriting skills t d this. Simply lking at things is, as usual, a bad way f learning.I think learning the mst cmmn 500 characters r s is a gd idea fr all students. If yu actually want t write by hand, extend (扩大) that t 1,000. Then learn t handwrite characters utside f the 1,000 mst cmmn n a need-t-knw basis.
28. What des the authr think f Chinese characters?
A. They attract sme freigners t learn Chinese.
B. They shw the greatness f Chinese culture.
C. They are less cmmunicative than English wrds.
D. They are nt really that difficult.
29. What can we infer abut characters in Paragraph 2?
A. Characters are very difficult fr freigners t learn.
B. Peple believe learning t write characters is imprtant.
C. Characters may disappear with the develpment f sciety.
D. Peple dubt the necessity f learning t write characters.
30. What des the underlined wrd “this” in Paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Being a calligraphy master. B. Understanding characters.
C. Keeping a gd learning habit. D. Learning basic handwriting skills.
31. What is the authr’s attitude t learning t write characters in the digital age?
A. Wrried. B. Surprised. C. Supprtive. D. Uncaring.

Dragns, a famus imaginary beast brn frm fantasy, are ften present in stries in the west and east. In bth cultures, dragns are generally recgnized as massive creatures capable f flight. They have great pwer and are ften assciated with magical abilities. Hwever, due t their different cultural rts and images, there exist significant differences in the way dragns are regarded in the west and east, particularly in China.
Chinese dragns mst resemble snakes, and have fur claws and n wings. They ften have features f ther animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. In the cntrast, Western dragns lk like huge lizards with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are ften shwn with spines r rugh scales.
In traditinal Chinese culture, a dragn is a symbl f luck, pwer and high status. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall t the fields t ensure rich harvests. They are cnsidered divine(神圣的) creatures, which hld an imprtant psitin as the head f the fur spirits. Therefre, t symblize their pwer, ancient Chinese emperrs decrated their clthes with dragn patterns. These clthes are knwn as dragn rbes. Many Chinese view the dragn as a natinal symbl, prudly referring t themselves as “descendants f the dragn”. In the west, hwever, a dragn symblizes an evil creature that spreads vilence and terrr thrughut the land. They are believed t be transfrmed by the devil, with the ability t breathe fire r spit pisn. Many western tales shw dragns being defeated and killed t prtect peple frm danger.
Tday, dragns cntinue t evlve, exceeding traditinal bundaries and finding new significance in glbal culture. They are n lnger assciated with evil r gd, but rather as cmplex characters with their wn unique persnalities and mtivatins. Fr example, Tthless frm Hw t Train Yur Dragn begins as a dangerus dragn but evlves int a misunderstd being with lve and cmpassin. This challenges the idea f dragns as naturally evil, presenting them as cmplex beings with emtins and mtivatins.
32. What d western dragns and eastern dragns have in cmmn?
A. They have rugh skin.B. They are huge and pwerful.
C. They are in the shape f snakes.D. They have big claws and wings.
33. What d we knw frm paragraph 3?
A. Western dragns are a symbl f authrity.
B. Dragns in China can prtect peple frm danger.
C. Chinese dragns can cntrl rainfall and breathe fire.
D. Dragns are believed t cause chas in western culture.
34. What is new abut dragns in tday’s glbal culture?
A. They are regarded as adventurus creatures.
B. They are clsely assciated with evil r gd.
C. They have mre diverse emtins and persnalities.
D. They tend t represent human spirits facing challenges.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?

Fd turism.
40 . A fd turist wn’t just fcus n having a pint at Oktberfest, but will be interested in learning the German beer making prcess, and pssibly hw they can make their wn fresh beer.
