If you walk through a park in the morning or in the evening, you might see a lot of people doing these slow and beautiful movements— Carry the tiger over the mountain and White crane spreads its wings. In fact, they are doing Taichi.
Taichi is an ancient martial art (武术). It is a common kind of exercise in China. More than 100 million people in over 150 countries practice Taichi at present. Recently UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) has added Taichi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录). Many taichi fans were happy to hear of it. “This will make taichi more popular around the world. Hopefully, more people will become healthier by practicing it.” said Chen Bin. He is a Taichi master from the village of Chenjiagou, Henan Province. This village is the birthplace of Chen-style Taichi.
It’s true that doing Taichi is good for our health. It can make us walk and move more freely, and it can also make us stronger. During slow movements, we can focus on (专注) our hands and feet. We can control them better. Slow movements also help us to take deep and long breaths.
Taichi also focuses on the harmony (和谐) between yin (阴) and yang (阳). It shows how the ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang: dark and light, soft and hard, female and male. But they don’t oppose (对立) each other absolutely (绝对地). As we see in the picture, a white spot is in the black area and a black spot is in the white area. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything keeps changing — that is how we should see the world.
Taichi carries traditional Chinese philosophy (哲学), such as being in harmony with nature and using softness to beat hardness. It has become a symbol of Chinese culture.
56. How many people practice Taichi in the world now?
A. About 10 million. B. Less than 150 thousand.
C. At most 100 thousand. D. More than 100 million.
57. Which of the following words can best describe the movements of Taichi?
A. Slow and beautiful. B. Slow and exciting. C. Fast and free. D. Strong and tiring.
58. Why has Taichi been added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List recently?
A. Because it is a symbol of Chinese culture. B. Because it is from the village of Chenjiagou.
C. Because it can make us walk more freely. D. Because it can use softness to beat hardness.
59. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To ask people to do Taichi in their fiee time. B. To introduce an ancient martial art—taichi.
C. To teach people how to do Taichi correctly. D. To explain why Taichi is good for our health.

During the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, athletes from all over the world broke both personal and Olympic records. High-tech elements have been giving “wings” to these hard-working athletes, helping them become “faster, higher, stronger”.
The National Speed Skating Oval (the Ice Ribbon) saw 12 new Olympic records and one world record, including Chinese speed skater Gao Tingyu’s Olympic record of 34.32 seconds in the men’s 500 meters.
Known as “the fastest ice”, the 12,000-square-meter rink(冰场)has received very good feedback from the athletes. “It makes everyone skate faster,” Gao Tingyu said after he bagged the gold.
The secret behind is a new carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)ice-making technology. Speed-skating requires a very flat (平滑的) ice surface. If the ice surface temperature doesn’t change much, the ice stays flatter. Flat ice is easier to skate on. Liquid (液态的)carbon dioxide was put under the ice for the first time. It cooled the ice and kept the temperature changes on the surface within just half of one degree(度).
In events like freestyle skiing and ski jumping, the direction and speed of the wind could largely affect athletes’ performance. A research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a wind measuring (测量)system using AI technology. “Some events only last a few seconds, and the wind is changing all the time. This system allows athletes and coaches to ‘see’ wind directly through real-time data(数据)on their pads, and decide when and where to jump,” the team leader Shao Yun told Beijing Daily.
There are many more high-tech elements that boost athletic performance, including drag-reducing (减少阻力的)sportswear, smart beds that massage (按摩)athletes, and robots that cook. All these helped keep China’s promise to hold an “athlete-centered” Olympics, said Zhao Weidong, the spokesperson of the Beijing organizing committee.
60. Gao Tingyu set a record for ________.
A. winning the first gold for China in men’s 500 meters
B. skating the fastest speed in men’s 500 meters
C. being the youngest skater at the Olympics
D. designing the National Speed Skating Oval
61. The underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. the ice rink B. the gold medal C. the record D. the feedback
62. Liquid carbon dioxide was put under the ice to ________.
A. make the ice harder B. keep the ice cold
C. save water resources D. change the temperature of the ice
63. The system from the Chinese Academy of Sciences helps athletes ________.
A. change the direction of the wind B. record their jumps in real time
C. measure wind more correctly D. control the speed of the wind
64. What do we know from the words of Zhao Weidong?
A. China is expected to hold another Winter Olympics soon.
B. Other countries look at China with new eyes.
C. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics were the best ever.
D. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics were people-centered.

Sticking to a vegan （坚持素食的）diet might sound difficult, especially since many popular dishes have meat in them. Yet in recent years, veganism has become one of the fastest-growing trends（趋势）in the world.
According to HuffPost, more than 3 million people in the United States are vegans. In the UK, about 542,000 people have chosen veganism over the past 10 years.
What is driving this growth in veganism? One reason might be that people want to protect the environment. According to a 2013 study by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, global meat manufacturing（加工）causes about 18 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions（排放）. This is more than all the worlds cars, trains and planes combined.
According to BBC News, one reason is that many of today’s young people believe it’s wrong to kill animals for food. For many people, veganism simply means eating no meat, cheese or eggs, but going animal-free also applies（应用）to fashion and manufacturing. For example, leather is used to make shoes and clothing. Every year more than 1 billion animals, from cows to horses to snakes, are killed to make products from their skins. Now, many brands are looking for other materials.
The sports brand Puma, for example, has made shoes out of pineapple leaves. Tesla, the US car maker, is said to be removing（去除）animal-based leather from its seats. Earlier this year, US singer Lady Gaga created the vegan makeup brand Haus Laboratories. On the brand’s Instagram account, it says: “Cruelty-free（零残忍）and vegan, because we love animals and you.”
So, if you’re interested in protecting animals and saving the environment, you might want to give veganism a try.
65. How many people are vegans in the United States?
A. More than 3 million. B. More than 4 million,
C. More than 5 million. D. More than 6 million.
66. More and more people are choosing veganism because ________.
a. they think eating meat is not healthy b. processing meat pollutes the environment
c. they think we shouldn’t kill animals d. there are new materials to replace animal products
A. ab B. bc C. bd D. cd
67. The examples in Paragraph 5 show that ________.
A. some brands try to protect animals B. many famous people are vegans
C. veganism is popular all over the world D. we can live on plants in the future
68. “Cruelty-free” in Paragraph 5 means ________.
A. no animals are killed B. environmentally friendly

69. What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A. To help people choose a healthy diet. B. To encourage people to protect the environment.

If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a "lesson" in sorting garbage（垃圾分类）, as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations （条例）.
It's now required that people should sort garbage into four kinds, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan.
More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2021, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People's Daily.
Although over 90 per cent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants（参与者）said that they think they are sorting their trash properly according to a study by the government. In the past, some garbage regulations didn't give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage. Now the new regulations in Shanghai are to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone.
Many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill. There is a fixed time for dealing with each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines. In Germany too, many people are asked to sort waste into different groups.

One day a teacher entered her classroom and told her students about a surprise test. The students took their seats and waited for the test to begin. The teacher put a test paper on each student's desk with the text facing down. She then asked them to turn the paper over and begin.
The students were surprised to see no questions, but just a
single black dot（圆点）in the center of the page. The teacher said, "Ijust want you to write down what you see on this paper. "
The students were confused（困惑的）, but did as they were told. At the end of class, the teacher took their tests and started reading their answers aloud. Each student tried to describe the black dot-its size, its position on the paper. After the teacher finished reading, the class was silent.
She started to explain. "Don't worry about your marks for this test . But I want you to think about something. All of you focused on the black dot on this test and wrote about it, but no one wrote about the white area around the dot. "

Life blesses us with many things-loved ones, enjoyable moments, and even miracles from time to time. And yet we are likely to focus on the negative—our problems and difficulties. "

I had three friends. I asked them how they had changed since they came to our middle school. And here are their answers.


Robin
I didn’t do well in my study before, but since I began to study in this school, things have changed. The teachers here are all energetic, active and helpful. They always encourage me by saying “I’m sure you can make it” or “You are one of the cleverest students I have ever met”. These words really mean a lot to me. Now I’m one of the top students in my class, and I like studying as well.


Dick
I used to be a fat boy who could hardly run 500 meters. When I entered the middle school, my father worried that I would be laughed at by my new classmates, so he decided to do morning exercises with me every day. It really worked. Now I’m used to running and exercising in the morning, and I am slim and strong. Besides, my P.E. teacher thinks I can be a good runner in the future！


Jason
I used to like to be alone and didn’t feel like talking to anyone. But when I met Robin and Dick, I found that they were really good people. Then gradually we became closer and finally became good friends. Thanks to(多亏) them, I'm talkative and outgoing(开朗的) now, and I have made many other friends. I talk and play with my friends every day and each day I feel happy.

Have you heard about a story of killing a tree by yelling(叫喊)?On the Solomon Islands(所罗门群岛) in the South Pacific, some villagers cut down trees in a special way. If a tree is too large to be cut down with an ax(斧子), they try something else — yelling at it. Woodsmen with special powers climb up a tree at dawn(拂晓) and yell at it at the top of their voices. They continue doing this for 30 days. After 30 days, the tree dies and falls over. It seems like the yelling kills the spirit of the tree. According to the villagers, it always works.
It’s too bad they don’t have the advantages of modern technology and a scientific mind.
No matter how true the story actually is, it reminds me of something. I often yell at my wife, the telephone and workers. And sometimes I even yell at the TV, the newspaper and my children. I’ve been known to shake my fist(拳头) and yell at the sky at times.
The man next door yells at his car a lot. And this summer I heard him yell at a ladder for most of an afternoon. Some modern, educated people often yell at traffic, bills, banks and machines. Machines and relatives get yelled at the most.
It doesn’t do much good. Machines and things just sit there. Even kicking it doesn’t usually help. As for people, well, the Solomon Islanders may have a point. Yelling at living things does tend to(有做……的倾向) kill the spirit in them and break our hearts too.
61. How do the Solomon villagers cut down a very large tree?
A. They use a special ax. B. They yell at the trees day by day.
C. They use the powers of nature. D. They use modern technology.
62. From Paragraph 3, we learn that the writer seems to be _____.

C. Modern people are often in a bad mood.
D. The man next door lives a peaceful life.
64. What does the writer think about yelling in life?
A. It solves traffic problems. B. It helps people at the bank.
C. It makes machines work. D. It does no good for people.
65. What does the story want to tell us?
A. Yelling hurts both sides. B. Yelling is bad for our health.
C. Every living thing has its own spirit. D. Solomon Islanders are very clever.
