17、old folk artist in Tianjin Municipality, is eager to introduce the traditional musical instrument used in Chinese opera to more people.Liu became addicted to Chinese opera in his childhood when his grandfather frequently took him to watch performances. At the age of 13, he joined Hebei bangzi traini

18、ng team. Hebei bangzi is one of the oldest types of Chinese opera in northern China, which became popular in the Qing Dynasty. It is a traditional Chinese opera combining music, vocals, dance and acrobatics(杂技).“It took me hours to practice the basic skills of gongs,” he said. “This round piece of m

19、etal can help performers on the stage to express joy and sorrow when hit by a stick with different rhythms, so I must bear in mind all kinds of rhythms(节奏) for various situations. For example, striking gongs with a quick tempo(速度) can create a tense atmosphere for action scenes.”In the 1960s and 197

20、0s, the reorganization of opera troupes in Tianjin forced many members to switch their jobs to those in factories. Thanks to Lius brilliant skills, he was fortunate enough to go to one of the three biggest Beijing Opera troupes in Tianjin to continue his gong life.Ten years ago, Liu retired, but he

21、still goes to an opera tea house almost every afternoon to strike the gong for opera performances. In 2006, Hebei bangzi was listed into Chinas national intangible cultural heritage. However, he worries about maintaining the art as fewer and fewer youngsters are learning percussion(敲打乐器), especially

22、 gongs. “People who strike the gong stay behind the scenes. It is hard for them to gain fame and fortune,” he said. Although many amateurs(业余爱好者) have learned from Liu over the years, some gave up easily. “Its a bit dull and boring to continuously strike a gong for 40 minutes at the practice stage.

23、It requires patience. Few can bear the hardship,” he said. Various kinds of Chinese gongs are neatly placed at Lius home. He is waiting for more people to take over his career and spread the traditional Chinese art.24. What can we know about Liu Zibin from the 2nd paragraph?A. His grandfather founde

Liu expects the traditional Chinese art will draw more peoples attention. D. Hebei bangzi is now the worlds intangible cultural heritage.CThere are many dif

27、ferences in the way different cultures raise kids. International visitors cant help but notice the fact that children are special in China. However, the way some Chinese people treat these very special kids may shock some foreign visitors.When I told a Chinese mother her child was beautiful, I was n

28、onplussed when she replied, “ No, shes not; shes ugly.” Since that time I have heard many similar comments, including, “No, hes not bright; hes stupid.” This is a huge cultural difference that needs to be understood when you talk about kids with your international visitors.Someone explained it to me

29、, “ We Chinese dont want to appear too proud.” Im sure there are other people in the world who feel the same way, but most people in my country would consider you a terrible parent if you said your kid was stupid or ugly. They would think you were destroying the childs self-confidence. When we Ameri

30、cans say something good about our child we dont think we are being proud because we are saying it about the child, not about ourselves. In this way, we separate the child from the parents as two different persons.You may think I sound too proud when I freely say to another westerner: “ My daughter i

31、s smart and pretty.” Of course, I still have to teach her not to be proud, but I can be proud of her. Its just the way she was made, and Im thankful for that. So, in the US when we say something nice about our own kids, it is not considered being too proud but rather, being thankful and being a good

He is an expert in education.31. What is mainly discussed in the text?A. How different cultures in the world raise kids. B. How Chines

34、e and US parents talk about kids.C. How US parents feel about themselves.D. How different countries treat kids.DThe past 70 years have been good for corn production in the Midwestern United States, with yields increasing fivefold since the 1940s. Much of this improvement has been credited to advance

35、s in farming technology but researchers at Harvard University are asking if changes in climate and local temperature may be playing a bigger role than previously thought.In a newspaper, researchers find that a prolonged(延长的) growing season due to increased temperatures, combined with the natural coo

36、ling effects of large fields of plants, have had a major contribution to improved corn production in the U.S. “Our research shows that improvements in crop yields depend, in part, on improvements in climate,” said Peter Huybers, professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences. “In this case, changing temp

37、eratures have had a beneficial impact on agricultural production, but there is no guarantee that benefit will last as the climate continues to change. Understanding the detailed relationships between climate and crop yields is important as we move towards feeding a growing population on a changing p

38、lanet. ” The researchers modeled the relationship between temperature and crop yields from 1981 to 2017 across the so-called Corn Belt. They found that as temperatures increased due to global climate change, planting days got earlier and earlier, shifting by about three days per decade. Early planti

39、ng means the corn has more time to mature before the end of the growing season.There is also a second, more surprising trend that has benefited corn yields. Whereas the vast majority of temperatures have warmed over the last century, the hottest days during the Midwestern growing season have actuall

40、y cooled.The researchers estimate that more than one quarter of the increase in crop yields since 1981 can be attributed to the twin effects of a longer growing season and less exposure to high temperatures, suggesting that the crop yield is more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.

41、The researchers also show that the planting and harvest dates farmers currently use is significantly better adapted to the present climate than it would be to climates in earlier decades.32. What is previously thought to be the reason for the increase of corn production?A. Local temperature change.

42、B. Advanced farming technology. C. Climate change. D. Production efficiency.33. Why is it important to understand the relationships between climate and crop yield? A. The climate has a beneficial impact on agriculture. B. We can change the climate to improve crop yield. C. We depend on the climate t

To explain a mystery. B. To question a common sense.C. To show a new trend. D. To introduce a research resul

The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water. 36 For example, f

45、armers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people

46、around the world. 37 Thats around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹泻) from dirty water. Thats around 1,400 children every day! Also, in some countries children walk ma

47、ny kilometres every day to get water. 38 Therefore, they dont have time to learn how to read or write and dont get an education. 39 On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk
