The 1.86-metertall suit of armor gave visitors a window through which they could appreciate the wisdom of ancient Chinese artisans and the charm of China's armor culture.Wen Chenhua, the artisan who restored the armor that played a significant role on the battlefield more than 1,000 years ago, is one of the biggest fans of ancient armor in China. Following his passion, he has made the restoration of armor his lifelong career.Since 2008, Wen and his team of over 30 people have produced more than 10,000 armor replicas according to ancient samples, gradually gathering thousands of followers from around the world who have been caught up by the charm of Chinese armor culture.Armor from the Tang and Song dynasties are Wen's favorites.

With costs falling and kitchenappliances becoming " status “ users, owners are throwing many microwaves after an average of eight years. This is pushing sales of new microwave which are expected to reach 135 million annually in the EU by the end of the decade.A study by the University of Manchester worked out the emissions of carbon dioxide 一 the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change - at every stage of microwaves, from manufacture to waste disposal. u It is electricity consumption by microwaves that has the biggest impact on the environment,say the authors, who also calculate that the emissions from using 19 microwaves over a year are the same as those from using a car. According to the same study, efforts to reduce consumption should focus on improving consumer awareness and behaviour. For example, consumers should use appliances in a more efficient way by adjusting the time of cooking to the type of food.However, David Reay, professor of carbon management argues that, although microwaves use a great deal of energy, their emissions are minor compared to those from cars. In the UK alone, there are around 30 million cars. These cars emit more than all the microwaves in the EU. Backing this up, recent data show that passenger cars in the UK emitted 69 million tons of CO2 in 2015. This is 10 times the amount this new microwave oven study estimates for annual emissions for all the microwave ovens in the whole of the EU. Further, the energy used by microwaves is lower than any other form of coking. Among common kitchen appliances used for cooking, microwaves are the most energy efficient, followed by a stove and finally a standard oven. Thus, rising microwave sales could be seen as a positive thing.6. What is the finding of the new study?A. Quick-cooking microwave ovens have become more popular.B. CO2 emissions are considered to be a major threat to the environment.C. The frequent use of microwaves may do harm to our health.D. The use of microwaves emits more CO2 than people think.7. Why are the sales of microwaves expected to rise?A. They are getting much easier to operate.B. They have a shorter life cycle than otherappliances.C. They are becoming more affordable.D. They take less time to cook than otherappliances.8. What recommendation does the study by the University of Manchester make?试卷第4页，共11页A. Eating less to cut energy consumption.B. Using microwave ovens less frequently.C. Improving microwave users' habits.D. Cooking food of different varieties.9. What does Professor David Reay think of the use of microwaves?A. It rarely plays a negative role in the environmental protection.B. It makes everyday cooking much more convenient.C. It will become less popular in the coming decades.D. It consumes more power than conventional cooking.The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping - where you hand over notes and count out change in return - now happens only in the most minor of our retail （零售的） encounters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a bottle of milk, from a comer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail store Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register. When you decide to pay, the staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa, which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money.But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. But earning money isn't quick or easy for most of us. Isn't it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink of an eye? Doesn't a wallet - that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness - represent something that maters?But ril leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smart phone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as a pebble （鹏卵石）.Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into comers, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.10. What does the author intended to show with the example of buying chocolate and milk?A. Goods like chocolate and milk should be sold only in comer shops.B Now people seldom use cash unless making small purchases.C. People won't bother to buy daily groceries with cash.D. The new generation no longer needs wallet.11. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?A. Spending money is so fast and easy. B. Saving money is no longer necessary.C. The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading. D. Earning money is getting more difficult.12. What can we infer from the passage about the author?A. He is resistant to social changes.B. He is against technological progress.C. He feels unwilling to part with the traditional wallet.D. He feels insecure in the ever changing modern world.13. . Which of the following is the best tide for the passage?A . Wallet: A Thing of the PastB. Changes in Payment TrendsC. Cash No Longer UsefulD. Age of Wallet Coming to an End二、七选五It's common to see a barista （咖I国刖币）create coffee art, but it's a whole different ballgame doing the same thing with tea. Creating tea art in cups, or dian cha in Chinese, enhances the taste of tea. 16 The difference is that it is made of tea rather than milk.Chinese tea culture started to enjoy popularity during the Tang Dynasty and flourished throughout the Song Dynasty. Different from the method of brewing （酉良造）tea during the Tang period, in the Song Dynasty, the popular way of having tea was through dian cha. In the eyes of people of that time, good tea should be white and fine. 17The process begins with hot water being poured over fine powdered tea creating a paste. Then more hot water is slowly added as the tea is constantly whisked by hand with a bamboo stick. The action of pouring hot water is called dian, hence the name dian cha. 18 It usually requires whisking the mixture between 180 and 200 times before the water and the tea are fully combined and the foam appears. Then, one can feel free to make artistic designs in the foam with the tea paste.19 It takes a year of practice, through trial and error, for one to achieve such 试卷第6页，共11页proficiency （熟练度）.20To extend its life, it's advisable to take a
