26、Primary school students in China started using new editions of their textbooks last September, with new illustrations(插图)to go with classic Chinese poems.
With the 110 classic poems for primary school students from Grade One to Six come one hundred illustrations painted by artist Huang Guoxiang of Wenzhou, Zhejiang province. The old version of Chinese was in use for more than 10 years. “Our aesthetic(美学的)tastes have changed. The illustrations in textbooks should keep up with that,” said Huang.
“An editor from People’s Education Press called me last September and asked whether I was interested –to create illustrations for three poems: Ode to Goose, Min Nong and Spring Dawn. I made it. After about 20 days, the publisher called me again and asked me to do all of them,” Huang said.
Huang also said he referred to the Chinese textbooks his son used previously before working on a new painting.
But he did not just create any ink paintings; Huang changed his style of painting a little bit for his young readers. Primary school students may not necessarily be attracted to traditional Chinese ink painting, as the stokes(笔画)tend to be thick and the colors dark. So he mixed ink painting with watercolor to make the pictures visually appealing to the young readers while fully expressing the meanings of classic poems.
“It’s not that difficult to illustrate a single poem. The hard part is: sometimes there are three poems on one page and the contents of these poems may change greatly, so it was difficult for me to express the feelings of all of them with one illustration. Sometimes I had to think with a bigger picture and create something that fits it all,” added Huang.
【1】The new illustrations in primary school textbooks were created to .
A. make more money
B. keep up with the times
C. cut the cost
D. attract high school students
【2】What does the underlined word “appealing” probably mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. Attractive.
B. Active.
C. Entertaining.
D. Influential.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Huang found it easy to complete the creation.
B. Huang created no more than three paintings.
C. Huang changed his painting style to suit school students.
D. The Chinese textbooks Huang’s son had used before were useless.
【4】What is the best title of this passage?
A. A Great Painter
B. Chinese Ink Paintings
C. Chinese Classic Poems
D. New Textbook, New Illustration

28、A small insect is gettinga lot of attention in the United States. The rusty patched bumblebee (大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states — meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The insects are "on the brink of extinction, " according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other insects,like butterflies.
U.S. officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.
The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.
【1】How many states declared the rusty patched bumblebee endangered?
A.13.
B.28.
C.48.
D.50.
【2】Which one is harmful to the rusty patched bumblebee?
A.Planting native plants.
B.Reducing the use of pesticide products.
C.Leaving plants alone.
D.Cutting out plants regularly.
【3】What can we know about the rusty patched bumblebee according to the text?
A.All the states declared it as endangered species.
B.It is named for a rust-colored line on its belly.
C.It is beneficial to land owners.
D.It is endangered mainly because of habitat loss.
【4】What's the best title for the passage?
A.Bumblebee added to U.S. endangered species list
B.Why is bumblebee on the brink of extinction
C.Take steps to help bumblebee
D.The benefits of protecting bumblebee
