21、Chinese traditional painting and dance are two vital parts of the art world. But what about when they meet each other?
This year, a dance drama titled Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting was staged on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala and went viral.
According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 900-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains. Created by Song Dynasty (960-1279) painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is “stunning in its sweeping scale, rich coloration and the expressive details”, reported CCTV. It shows a Chinese blue-green landscape: “mountains and groupings of infinite rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling water”.
To show the Chinese traditional aesthetics (美学) of the painting, the dance performance conceptualized dancers as the mountains. They each had a different hairstyle, which resembled a mountain rock. The clothes they wore were shades of green and blue, which is also a poetic interpretation of the mountains and rivers.
When the dancers swayed elegantly, audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers.
“It brings me a pure experience of beauty. It is not only a drama but also an ‘exhibition’. Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review. “More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still wow people as they did long ago.”
Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later.
In fact, in recent years, more and more modem shows highlight Chinese traditional culture and have received warm welcome. As for why, it is attributed to people’s great love for traditional culture.
“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. They embrace Chinese culture and are proud of it,” Yao Wei, director of Henan TV station’s Innovation Center, told China Daily.

22、When we say older people shrink,we don't mean they become tiny enough to fit in your pocket!We just mean that it's common for older people to become a little shorter over time.This kind of shrinking can't be stopped, although people can slow this process.But why does shrinking happen at all?
Because of gravity,cushions between the bones in the spine（脊骨）get compressed（压缩）,which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.
Another reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis（骨质疏松）.Osteoporosis occurs when bone is broken down and not enough new bone material is made.Over time,bone is said to be lost.Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured.
Older people—especially women,who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with—are more likely to develop osteoporosis.As years go by,a person with osteoporosis can get small breaks in bones that are called compression fractures.These breaks cause collapse of the spine and over time the person with osteoporosis can become hunched over（驼背）.
Did you know that every day you shrink a little,too?You aren't as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning.That's because as the day goes on,water in the disks of the spine gets compressed due to gravity,making you just a tiny bit shorter.Don't worry,though.Once you get a good night's rest,your body recovers,and the next morning,you're standing tall again!
Smoking and drinking alcohol can make this problem worse.Want to do something right now to build strong bones?I believe what I say will help you.
【1】What can we infer from the text?
A. For shrinking,people can do nothing about it.
B. If someone is injured,he will become shorter.
C. Women have smaller and lighter bones than men.
D. We aren't as tall at the end of the day as we are at the beginning.
【2】What should we do if we don't want to shrink faster?
A. Reduce gravity.
B. Sleep as long as possible.
C. Be careful not to be hurt by others.
D. Keep away from smoking and drinking alcohol.
【3】We can learn from the text about osteoporosis that______.
A. it makes people shorter
B. shorter people usually suffer it
C. women are more likely to develop it
D. once our bone is broken down,it will occur
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A. Why do we shrink?
B. How to live a healthy life
C. How can we stop shrinking?
D. Some tips on how to keep healthy
23、The appearance of some electric vehicles of Chinese brands in the Paris Motor Show 2022, held from Oct 16 to Sunday, has caught wide attention, with some observers seeing it as a sign that the Chinese auto industry is accelerating its pace of going global. Compared with their European counterparts, Chinese new energy vehicle companies have strong competitiveness in terms of supply chain, technology, economy and models.
Over the past 10 years, the Chinese government has rolled out many support policies for the new energy vehicle industry. At the same time, the Chinese auto companies have been actively upgrading their technologies. As a result, the overall strength of the new energy vehicle industry in the country has been constantly improving. The Chinese NEV enterprises can basically meet the needs of the diversified global market in terms of product appearance, design, quality, research and development and production capacity.
Statistics of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers indicate that China’s auto exports reached 2.05 million units last year, ranking the third in the world. Over the first nine months of this year, China has overtaken Germany to become the world’s second-largest car exporter after the United States.
Over the past 20 years, the world’s automobile production and sales have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the rise of the East, particularly China, has become the biggest variable. China’s new energy vehicles are not only growing at a high speed but also competing with Western brands in an increasingly confident way in the global market.
Despite this, it should be seen, like many other industries, the new energy vehicle industry also relies on global supply chains and international industrial cooperation. The Chinese automakers should always keep an open mind to working together with partners around the world, and try to have their own intellectual property rights over core technologies and key parts of the industry.
【1】What is the observers’ opinion about Chinese new energy vehicle industry?
A．It has by far surpassed the United States.
B．It has fallen behind Germany in exporting.
C．It is much more competitive than that of Europe.
D．It has quickened the entry into the global market.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “rolled out” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Opposed.
B．Launched.
C．Clarified.
D．Abandoned.
【3】Which can best describe the development of Chinese new energy vehicle industry?
A．Steady.
B．Risky.
C．Promising.
D．Declining.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning new energy vehicle industry?
A．The global market is interlocked.
B．China says no to new technology.
C．Technology no longer has a say.
D．New sale strategy matters a lot.
24、 A 24-year-old Ethiopian runner Shura Kitata won the men’s race in the 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon, crossing the line in 2:05:41.
Kitata finished second in the 2018 London Marathon behind the world record holder Eliud Kipchoge.

They seemed to be everywhere t—textbooks, news-papers and on the radio so that even before he started running, he knew about the marathon, and thought it very thrilling.
He loved sports and began running at primary school. When he performed well, he just rode the wave. Kitata took part in his first marathon five years ago in Shanghai, finishing third in 2:08:50 and soon joined an elite training group in Addis Ababa.
Now he appears calm to join the ranks of great Ethiopian marathoners. He is a famous sportsman, like the ones he read about and heard so much about during his childhood. He said it would be a great joy to add his story to the stories of those who came before him.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
If you plan to learn a foreign language,you might think it's going to be really challenging.You've probably heard a lot of talks about how it's easier to learn languages as a young child,and that learning as an adult can be difficult.You might even know friends or family members who have tried to learn a foreign tongue and failed.That's because they are surrounded by the failure.We're here to cheer you up with some good news and inspire you to get started.
Can you learn languages at any age?Scientists are always learning about human brain.Decades ago,experts believed that the brain developed during childhood and then stayed that way for life.However,modern studies have shown us that the brain has the ability to continually form new neural(神经系统的)connections throughout adulthood.A 2010 Swedish study tested two groups of people,one in the range of age 21 through 30 and another between 65 and 80.Surprisingly,they found no significant differences in neuroplasticity(神经可塑性).In other words,this suggests that it's possible for you to learn new things at any age.
Research also suggests.that learning languages throughout adulthood improves the adult brain in general.In a 2012 Chinese study,experts looked at a group of adults who were learning Mandarin(普通话)over a nine-month period.They found that these adults showed improvement in the part of the brain that allows neural cells to communicate.The better your neural cells communicate,the easier it will be for you to learn new things.
Why may adults have an easier time learning?Children might have a naturally high degree of neuroplasticity,but that doesn't mean learning is necessarily easier for them.In fact,adult brains have a number of great qualities that,might actually make learning easier, especially if you take advantage of free language learning apps like Mondly.
