专练（8）
1.It had been a "long" and hard walk from home to the subway station for teenager Mandy Chan when she first put on hanfu in public. Chan is one of the founders of hanfu in Hong Kong. "It was a set(套装)with a cream-colored shirt, a brown jacket in China's Ming dynasty style and a red pleated skirt made by me," she recalled recently, almost 10 years later. 
It was not the looks from others but her limited knowledge on the traditional Chinese clothing that had made her terrified. Chan added, "If anyone had asked what I was wearing, or the history behind it, I would have been afraid I couldn't tell them the whole picture."  
However, her anxiety had gradually drifted (远离)away with more in-depth research on traditional Chinese culture. Hanfu was the traditional clothing of China's Han ethnic group that was formed in the main residential areas of the Han people in ancient China. The historical clothing has untold stories and ideas in every detail. The cutting and stitching line in the middle part of hanfu fits the spine of the human body and helps people to dress properly. This design, which has transcended(超越)itself as mere decoration, points to the qualities of the wearers as upright and mild individuals. 
"Instead of imitating people like what I used to do, I have jumped out of my comfort zone and found the style that suits me best," Chan said. "Through hanfu, I have found myself and so many unexplored things in my life." Chan added that she had found her lifelong passion through hanfu, which is a goal and dream that has never been absent from her life. Chan found she was not alone after falling in love with hanfu. She believes that classics will never go out of style and she herself has incorporated(使并入)hanfu into her everyday life.

2.Wearing sports clothes,many Chinese people will go outdoors happily with their families or friends on March 12. They are just planting trees on this special day—China’s Arbor Day (中国植树节).
When it comes to China’s Arbor Day, we can’t help thinking of Mr. Ling Daoyang. He was born in 1888. When he worked as an English teacher in Beijing, he got a chance to study forestry (林业) at Yale University. After graduating in 1914, he returned to China and became a famous expert(专家) in forestry science. In 1915, he advised that the Qingming Festival should also be China’s Arbor Day. His suggestion was welcomed by most people. In 1929, National Arbor Day was moved to March 12, the day Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away, who did much to support forestry.
In 1979, March 12 was officially announced(正式宣布)as China's Arbor Day. Since then, thousands of trees have been planted all over China, making our country much more beautiful.
China’s Arbor Day is educational for all of us. It reminds us that we should protect our earth and thank our old generations, who planted green, hope and joy for us.

5.    Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for its stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.
   Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.
   In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.
   For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861,an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79.There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread-a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny power tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
   Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.

A.The city nearly offered all kinds of fun.
B.The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C.Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D.The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
3.Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?
A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B.Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C.Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
D.Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
4.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?
A.They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.

6.    What could driving a nice car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you might imagine. Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aimed at capturing the night sky.
    Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the nighttime light pollution making it perfect for star photographers. Nature night environments such as this are rare.
    Camping, hiking, and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the similarity between photography and racing. Bubba notes. Once you fire up the engine there's no turning back—I know I'll be in that seal for more than three hours." Batak agrees, "I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I'm ready to continue through the entire night." For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential lo his photography.
    Seizing the moment is crucial loo. "Every minute things are changing—the Earth's shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars." Batak explains. "If you lose the moment, it's gone forever. Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah s rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures.
    Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot? According to Batak. "With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity. Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn't see under a clear sky."
    The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography. "We've both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries," says Batak. "The night sky has a unifying power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella."

7.    If you visit the new mummies(木乃伊) show at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH) in New York City, don't miss the Gilded Lady. Scientists say she probably died of lung disease when she was in her 40s—about 2,000 years ago—in ancient Egypt. They even have a model of her skull(头骨). And yet, the mummy's coffin has never been opened. Instead, scientists used a machine called a CT (扫描仪) to look inside.
    CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.
    "A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies' coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies," says the AMNH president Ellen V. Futter. "We just don't do that anymore. We can do so much better. By using CT scanners, scientists can know about an ancient person's diet from some of a mummy's hair. Pieces of bone can show who was related to whom."
    Some mummies in Peru were buried with a skull hanging from their neck. Scientists thought these mummies wore the skull of an enemy. But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buried with the skull of an ancestor (祖先).
    The 19 mummies in the show were from Egypt and Peru. They had completely different reasons for mummifying the dead. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next world. The people who prepared the Gilded Lady thought she would continue to see, hear and smell. In ancient Peru, people practised mummification to stay connected with their ancestors. Some families kept mummies in their home.
    Futter calls the mummies in the show "messengers from another time". With the help of technology, scientists will continue to uncover mummies' secrets so we can understand it.
1.What did scientists find about the Gilded Lady?
A.She was a great artist. B.She died of a natural death.
C.She lived in ancient Egypt. D.She had an amazingly long life.

A.Pieces of bone show a person's diet.
B.CT scanners do great harm to mummies.
C.Mummies usually wore the skull of an enemy.
D.Technology plays an important role in mummy studies.
3.Why did the ancient Peruvians make mummies?
A.To do traditional medical research. B.To keep close ties with their relatives.
C.To help their families live a better life. D.To let their ancestors live on in another world.
4.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A.The technology. B.Their message. C.Their family. D.The show.
8.    The Sanxingdui Museum in southwest China's Sichuan Province enjoyed huge popularity during the three-day Qingming Festival holidays by receiving nearly 20,000 visitors on the peak day after the new archaeological discoveries brought international attention.
    According to media reports, the museum saw over 15,000 visitors on Saturday—the first day of the Qingming Festival, breaking its record for daily visitors. And on the next day, more visitors swarmed (蜂拥) into the museum, the number exceeding 19,800. To cope with the mighty flow of people, on Sunday afternoon, the official Weibo account of the Sanxingdui Museum released the message to remind visitors to avoid rush hours or reschedule their visiting time.

Since the new discoveries were known to the public, the number of people visiting the Sanxingdui Museum has increased sharply.
    The museum says although they are open as usual, the newly-found pits have not opened to the public yet and the newly-excavated cultural relics are still under repair and cannot meet the public currently. But a hall for cultural relic conservation and restoration will be in pilot operation in April and officially open on May 18. Visitors to it can see how the relics are restored, according to Zhu Yarong, vice director of the Sanxingdui Museum.

10.Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like?Chances are that you don't.You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler.But scientists found that people's music taste changes as time goes by.So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents',whether you like it or not.
We used to think that culture and personality(个性)are the only reasons for different music choices.But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups,their social environment changes,and so does their music taste.There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.
The first period comes in the teenage years,during which people like strong music such as punk and rock,because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.
But as people move into early adulthood,their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others.As a result,they become fonder of contemporary music,such as pop and R&.B,which is usually uplifting and danceable.
When middle age comes,most people have settled down.During this period,people prefer music,such as jazz and classical,as well as music like country,folk and blues.
As for old people,they prefer old songs in their childhoods.They generally listen to relaxing music,such as country music and jazz music.But you must be questioning. "Aren't there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?"
