24、BEIJING—Heavy haze (霾) still covered north and east China on Saturday, with

highways closed and flights delayed or canceled (取消).

The smoggy weather affected the country’s land from north to south, including Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, with visibility less than 50 meters in some areas.

Cities like Shanghai and Nanjing have been enveloped in the grey sky for the past several days. Many walkers in the street had to wear masks. In the Lukou airport in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, more than 60 inbound and outbound flights were canceled on Saturday because of the hazy, which also forced primary and middle schools and kindergartens to stop classes on Thursday and Friday in Nanjing.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection said earlier this week that there were several main reasons behind the widespread haze: unfavorable weather conditions making it difficult for pollutants to diffuse (消散), motor vehicle exhaust (尾气), coal use for winter heating.

The Chinese government now plans to clean up the air by cutting coal use, closing some factories and promoting cleaner production.

27、   Old puppets still dance

非遗传承：小小皮影经精雕细琢，与光影共舞。

When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets (皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.

Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather (皮) or paper, accompanied by (伴随) music and singing. Invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), it tells us about folklore (民间传说) and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.

Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua County, Shanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.

Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets, including washing the leather, carving (雕刻), and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.

“We have a special carving technique (技巧) — moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. “You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand.”  It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a stone (砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated (复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.

But Wang has found a way to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on (以……为基础) the cartoon series Huyao Xiaohongniang (《狐妖小红娘》) and gave a livestreaming (现场直播) performance. She used colors like blue and purple that are rarely seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance more lively.

【1】What does Paragraph 2 explain?

A．Why Wang is interested in shadow puppetry.

B．When shadow puppetry became popular.

C．How shadow puppetry is performed.

D．What shadow puppetry is.

【2】Which is the hardest step in making a puppet?

A．Washing the leather.

B．Carving the leather.

C．Painting the leather.

D．Folding the leather.

【3】According to Wang, why is it difficult to spread shadow puppetry?

A．It’s difficult to learn to make puppets.

B．This art is only known in a small county.

C．It requires people of great strength to perform the art.

D．The stories it tells are too old-fashioned for modern audiences.

【4】What is the last paragraph about?

A．Wang’s favorite shadow puppets.

B．Improvements in making puppets.

C．The efforts Wang made to spread this art.

D．The difficulties in performing this art online.

【5】What do we know from the story?

A．Wang spent 13 years learning to carve puppets.

B．Wang enjoys getting young people interested in this art.

C．Wang has set up a company to make and sell shadow puppets.

D．Wang is working on a cartoon series about making shadow puppets.

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。

SEPT 10 is a day for us to say thank you to teachers. But next year we might do it on a【1】 day. A draft amendment（修正案草案）on education laws proposes（提议）to m【2】 Teachers’ Day to Sept 28, which is believed to be the birthday of Confucius（551-479BC）.

The Chinese mainland started to c【3】 Teachers’ Day in 1985. There was no special reason why Sept 10 was chosen.

But many people think it’s not a good choice.

Teachers are always too busy on Sept 10, because the new t【4】 starts at the beginning of the month. If the day is at the end of September, it will be near the National Day and teachers can enjoy the two holidays t【5】.

Besides, people think Teachers’Day should fall on a day with a special historical and cultural m【6】. That’s why Sept 28 is a good choice.

Confucius is an important educationalist and philosopher in Chinese history. His ideas help shape our values. He tells us to love our family and respect（尊敬）the elderly.

More importantly, Confucius started Chinas private education s【7】 . There were 3,000 students who ever learned by Confucius. It is said that twenty-two of them had learned six arts, and Confucius spoke highly of ten of them. Chinese people name him as the “best teacher in ancient times” and a “model teacher for generations”.

Currently, the State Council（国务院）is collecting p【8】 opinion the change.

In an online survey on sina.com, 65 percent of people supported the change as of Sept 10. But about 31 percent were a【9】 it. They believed it is nothing but formalism（形式主义）.

Zhang Feiran, 13, from Changsha, Hunan gave his teachers cards as gifts on Sept 10. “To me, it doesn’t matter which day is Teachers’ Day. It’s just a day to remind（提醒）me o【10】 every year to be grateful to teachers,” he said.
