In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstormswept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his s kis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water froma nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could- he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter,he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two daysstuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He hadoften watched Grylls’ survival show. Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life, In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.5. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A. He got lost.B. He broke his skis.C. He hurt his eyesD. He caught a cold6. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A. He found a shelter.B. He lighted some branches.C. He kept on skiing.D. He built a snow cave.7. On Tuesday, Nicholas _____.A. returned to his shelter safelyB. was saved by a searcherC. got stuck in the snowD. stayed where he was8. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he _____.A. did the right things in the dangerous situationB. watched Grylls’ TV program regularlyC. created some tips for survivalD. was very hard-workingCBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called p hytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colourvaries from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing. ” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”9. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The various patterns at the ocean surface.B. The cause of the changes in ocean colour.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.10. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Sensitive.B. Beneficial.C. Significant.D. Unnoticeable.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.B. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.C. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.12. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.B. To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.C. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.D. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D"I do hope that by writing about their stories, I’m helping things change for the better. ”Li Xueqing, a China Daily journalist, based in New York CityThey’re neither medical workers in close contact with the novel coronavirus nor government officials who receive the latest updates of the situation – yet they’re keeping us informed of the development of the epidemic. They are the media, and their eyes are far-seeing.Zhu Xingxin is one such member of the media: a photographer with China Daily. He visited Tongji Hospital affiliated with Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan on Feb 3 to report on the lives of medical workers.Before entering the isolation ward (隔离病房), Zhu had to put on protective gear (装备) like the doctors: a protective suit, a surgical mask, goggles (护目镜), disposable (一次性的) gloves and shoe covers. He described it as “stuffy (闷热的)” with all the layers on. “I felt anoxic (缺氧的) under the masks,” he wrote on China Daily. “So I lowered my voice and slowed down my motions, trying to make myself feel better.”The eyes of the media are not just here to see, but also to scrutinize.On Feb 9, for example, a bus in Wuhan carrying severely ill patients was caught in traffic with no one guiding them and no hospitals claiming them. The incident was witnessed by Global Times journalists and was soon reported online. It ended with all the patients being properly settled i n hospitals and officials in charge being held responsible. But it’s possible that without journalists this incident would never have been exposed.Li Xueqing, a China Daily journalist, based in New York City, is also aware of the media’s role as a watchdog (监督者). She wrote a story last month about a group of Wuhan University alumni (校友) in New York City who donated medical equipment to hospitals in Wuhan. She was impressed by how they managed tocollect such a large amount of supplies and build an international shipping pathway in such a short time. Yet she was also disturbed by how all the complex (繁复的) paperwork and bureaucratic (官僚主义的) procedures added to their already heavy workload.“I do hope that by writing about their stories, I’m helping things change for the better,” said Li.Indeed, the media is like a pair of eyes watching out for us as they report on the world’s most important news.（选自Reuters）13. By describing Zhu Xingxin’s experience in Wuhan, the author intends to show _______.A. what journalists should pay attention to while workingB. how medical workers fight against the virusC. the efforts journalists make to report on the frontlineD. the importance of the media in fighting the epidemic14. What happened after Global Times journalists reported what they had witnessed on Feb 9?A. All the patients received proper treatment.B. The officials apologized for what had happened.C. The journalists were warned by the officials.D. The patients received donations from overseas.15. How does Li Xueqing hope to improve the alumni’s donation process?A. Making shipping methods more convenient.B. Simplifying paperwork and procedures.C. Creating more professional quality tests.D. Reducing the heavy workloads of medical workers fighting the virus.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

One of Marseille’s best natural attractions, the Calanques are a series of small rivers with astonishing blue water and splendid cliffs. LuberonDuring the summer months, many people like to experience charming villages in Luberon. This region in central Provence took off as a tourist attraction after Peter Mayle published his books about life in Provence. With its large quantities of forests, fields of lavender（薰衣草）, farmers markets and colorfully painted houses, you'll soon see why the Luberon is such a tourist attraction.DordogneThere is just so much to see and do in Dordogne, beginning with picture-postcard villages and castles.

The Japanese already have plans for cities of this kind．And there will be cities under the sea．The first of these will have been completed．4.We will have developed ______ in a hundred years’ time, permitting long journeys all over the solar system．A.cheap rockets for space travelB. a planeC. a spaceshipD. a satellite5. Man will also have supersonic land travel ______．A. in a yearB. about half a century laterC. in the year 2050D. about a century later6. The last paragraph mainly talks about _______．A. we'll make good use of space on the earthB. cities under the seaC. Japan will first build floating citiesD. earth's land is in danger7. The best title for the passage is _______．A. Travel in the FutureB. Future LifeC. Where to Live in the FutureD. Space TravelCIn 2018, Pakistan promised to plant ten billion trees in an effort to slow climate change and to save a land that has been destroyed.That program, whose name is 10 Billion Trees Tsunami, has been taking effect slowly for the past two years, but it recently has received unexpected help from the coronavirus（新冠病毒）. Many Pakistanis are suddenly unemployed, so the government has given them jobs astree-planters. Unemployed day laborers have been turned into "jungle workers", planting trees for 500 rupees a day（$3）. It's not much, but it can help the unemployed get by.As the coronavirus struck Pakistan, the 10 Billion Trees campaign was halted as part of social distancing orders put in place to slow the spread of the virus. But earlier this month, the government allowed the forestry agency to restart the program and create more than 63, 600 jobs.The program is employing three times the number of planters as it normally does, and the planting season has been extended from May（its usual end）throughout June, in order to keep workers employed. All workers are being told to wear masks and keep two meters of distance from others.Shahid Rashid Awan, project director for Punjab province, said the project hopes to reach 50 million trees this year. “We can absorb all the unemployed laborers and workers who have fled the cities and returned to their villages in the past few weeks.”A study declared tree planting to be an effective way to store carbon, and if planted in large quantities around the globe, a powerful solution to climate change. While it won’t fix every climate-related problem we have, it can go a long way if done widely, which is exactly what Pakistan is trying to do with such impressive determination.And the workers will benefit greatly, too. Not only are they able to earn money and support their families at a difficult time, but they’re outside in the fresh air, away from the potential health risks from more tightly-packed urban environments. It’s a brilliant idea that all country leaders should consider copying.8.How does the coronavirus influence Pakistan?A.A lot of animals are starving.B.Many people are out of work.C.Much land is left unmanaged.D.The government has lost power.9.Which of the following best explains "halted" underlined in Paragraph 3?A.Agreed.B. Discussed.C. Stopped.D. Doubted.10. Why is the project environmentally-friendly?A. Financial support has been gained because of it.B. It has persuaded people to plant trees in big cities.C. Many laborers produce much less carbon dioxide.D. It can contribute to fighting against climate change.11. What does the author think of Pakistan's move?A. It serves as a good example.B. It is not fit for other countries.C. It is a waste of time and money.D. It brings many economic benefits.DWhen the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term (节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to descr ibe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist(薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner.American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast, “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light.But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.” This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring.Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的).The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.12. What can be concluded about White Dew?A. It is often ignored by writers and poets.B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall.C. It is when the temperature begins to drop.D. It indicates the end of the autumn.13. A Moveable Feast was mentioned to ______.A. point out that autumn is very coldB. present the sad part of autumnC. show that winter w ill soon comeD. express sadness about the end of life14. What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Autumn is an important season for man.B. We can always stay young at heart.C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old.D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned.15. What’s the article mainly about?A. The solar term White Dew.B. Why autumn is a sad season.C. Autumn weather and activities.D. Famous writers’ description of autumn.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

宿州市十三所重点中学2020—2021学年度第二学期期中质量检测高二英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

AAs many areas have encouraged people to stay put during the Spring Festival holiday, it would be a great idea if you could go to the cinema to enjoy a wonderful movie, wearing a mask. Here is a brief lineup of the latest films to share with you.Detective ChinatownⅢFollowing their adventures in Bangkok and New York in the first two movies, the amateur detective duo portrayed by Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran travels to Tokyo as they try to solve a murder mystery, which could earn them a huge bonus.Hi, Mom!As the directorial debut of comedy actress Jia Ling, the film reflects on how she misses her late mother Li Huanying, who encouraged Jia to pursue her artistic dreams. Interestingly, she fictionalizes time-travel story to depict her mother’s love story set in 1981.A Writer's OdysseyAs the latest film directed by Lu Yang, best known for the Brotherhood of Blades franchise, the film is highly anticipated. The fantasy tale centers on a novelist amazed to find that the fictional world under his pen is surprisingly influencing the real world.The Yin-Yang MasterAdapted from the mobile game Onmyoji, the film centers on the Yin-Yang master Qingming, a genius wizard who lives in a fictional world where monsters and human beings coexist. Most monsters from the trailers appear cute and chubby, making the film more appealing to families.1. In the film-Detective ChinatownⅢ,the amateur detectives travel to ________to solve a murder mystery.A. BangkokB. TokyoC. New YorkD. Toronto2. Which movie is directed by a comedy actress?A. Detective Chinatown IIIB. Hi, Mom!C. A Writer’s OdysseyD. The Yin-Yang Master3. The author writes the passage to _________.A. show the prosperity of the Chinese film industryB. make a comparison of the latest moviesC. introduce some latest movies to choose from during the Spring Festival holidayD. make comments on the latest moviesBOn Tuesday, Guinness World Records announced through its official micro blog account that livestreaming star Li Ziqi had, with 14.1 million followers, beaten her own earlier record as the person with the most followers on the Chinese YouTube channel. On July 16, she had 11.4 million followers, also a record. She attracted so many followers in just four years, since debuting on the platform with her first short video, titled Making a dress of grape skins, in 2017. In it, Li showed how she kept the skins of grape after eating the fruit, boiled them in water and used the emerging purple dye to color dress.Though she features on YouTube’s Chinese channel, her appeal knows no boundaries, with viewers around the world commenting favorably under her videos. What’s the secret behind Li’s mass appeal? The answer seems obvious after watching her videos. Instead of preaching（说教）to her audiences, Li tells her story as it is, like, say, about growing beans, harvesting them, grinding them into powder and fermenting it to make bean sauce in the traditional Chinese way. That way she also ends up promoting traditional Chinese culture before a global audience.However, what she promotes is often a legacy（传统）of the past China is no longer how she depicts it in her videos. Chinese farmers now harvest crops with machines, not with hands, and have long been cooking with natural gas, instead of using wood.All the progress that technology can bring has reached China. It is time for more Chinese individuals and media to draw a fuller portrait of modern China before the world.4. Which of the following statements is RIGHT?A. Li has the most followers in the world.B. Li defeated a livestreaming star, becoming the person with the most followers.C. Li had 14.1 million followers on July16.D. Li is a livestreaming star with the most followers on the Chinese YouTube.5. Which one of the following processes is NOT included in her first short video?A. boiling the skins of grape in waterB. keeping the skins of grapeC. storing the skins of grape in a container for a weekD. using the emerging purple dye to color a dress6. What’s the secret behind Li’s mass appeal?A. her style and contentB. her beauty and kindnessC. her imagination and creativityD. her diligence and persistence7. In the last two paragraphs, the author appeals us to__________.A. follow Li to be a livestreaming starB. present an all-round modern China before the worldC. promote our ancient traditional crafts and cultureD. study hard to contribute to the construction of our motherlandCStarman, the dummy(仿真人) riding a cherry-red Tesla Roadster(特斯拉敞篷车) through space, has made his closest approach ever to Mars. The electric roadster and its passenger were attached to the top of a Falcon Heavy rocket during the SpaceX rocket’s first test launch on 6 February 2018. Two years later, the Falcon Heavy rocket and the vehicle at its tip are making their second trip around the Sun. Mr. McDowell, a Harvard astrophysicist, found that Starman passed 7.4 million kilometres from Mars at 06:25 GMT 7 October, 2020.The closest recent approach between the Earth and Mars was 56 million kilometres in 2003, though the planets are often hundreds of millions of miles apart depending on where they are in their orbits. No one can see the Falcon Heavy rocket at its current distance, but orbits over periods of a few years are fairly straightforward to predict, and Mr. MeDowell used data about how the rocket was moving when it left the Earth’s gravity behind to locate its recent movements exactly.Last time Starman circled the Sun, MeDo well said, it crossed Mars’ orbit while the Red Planet was quite far away. But this time the crossing lined up with a fairly close approach, though still not close enough to feel a strong tug from Mars.At this point in time, if you were able to go look at the Roadster, it would probably look pretty different. The strong solar radiation environment between the planets would probably have destroyed all the exposed organic materials. Without the Earth’s atmospheric and magnetic(磁场的) protection, even the plastics and carbon-fibre materials would start to break up. Over the course of decades or centuries, the car will end up with its aluminium(铝) frame and hard glass parts----that’s assuming that none of them get destroyed in impacts with passing space rocks.8. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Starman has set out on its second trip around the Sun.B. Starman has travelled 7.4 million kilometres after launch.C. Starman is now circling around the Earth in its orbit.D. Starman still has a long way to go before getting to Mars.9. How did MeDowell manage to locate Starman?A. By keeping Starman under visual observation.B. By predicting its future orbit around the earth.C.By analyzing data about the rocket’s movement.D. By seeking professional help from SpaceX. 10. The underlined word “tug” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. pressure B. drive C. resistance D. pull 11. What will happen to Starman in decades or centuries? A. Be reduced to its frame and glass. B. Crash onto Mars. C. Return to SpaceX on the earth. D. Be recovered during its next space mission. D Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok. These social mediaplatforms have transformed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money of their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic innovation, its really full of hidden false realities.The median income（中位收入）recorded in the United States of America was about $63,000 in 2018. TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month ---$360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads, simply by posting a 15-second video.Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it a lso promotes undeserved admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens, and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered conventionally attractive.While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, it’s important to understand how this conten t affects young viewers. If we’re constantly consuming content that shows us all we need to do to be successful is be conventionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethics（伦理）. What about the people who miss birthdays and family holidays due to their jobs and aren’t getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers?Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, I nc., had his own view on this issue. “It sounds great thatkids can make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good, technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if it’s only online.”12. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. social networkingB. staying connected to the Internet.C. a job offered by TikTok.D. making money on social media.13. Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users?A. They tend to live an adult life too soon.B. They are forced to pay for certain services.C. They are likely to develop false valuesD. They may abandon other social media14. What can we infer from Richard Colyer’s comments?A. Young TiKTokers should be banned from making money.B. TikTok can be a positive influence if teens employ it wisely.C. It is better to involve education on investment in TikTok videos.D. Contents of videos need checking before their release online.15. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. A Job Vs An EntertainmentB. Join Young TikTokersC. TikTok---A Mine of MoneyD.

Made up of two small terracotta domes(赤陶圆顶) and a metal tray, the device takes advantage of the natural heating ability of these materials, drawing heat from just four tealights placed inside it and sending it out in your living space.It may look basic in its shape, materials used and the fact that it has no fancy switches, but Egloo is actually 3D-printed so it’s actually a lot more high-tech than most electric heaters on the market today. At about seven inches wide and weighing just o ver two pounds, Egloo won’t take up too much space, and can be easily moved around at any time.Just make sure you don’t touch it directly, as it tends to get pretty hot.Egloo started crowd-funded through an Indiegogo campaign last year, blowing past its initial goal of $30,000 and getting $262,513 by the end of the campaign. It’s currently available for purchase via the Egloo website, for anywhere between $50 and $100, depending on size, color and glaze.Considering some users pay that much for heat every couple of weeks, the price seems very attractive.25. What does “it” refer to in the 2nd paragraph?A. Heat.B. Egloo.C. Electricity.D. Tealight.26. What should we be cautious of when using Egloo?A. Its size.B. Its weight.C. Its temperature.D. Its price.27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Egloo can be bought in stores anywhere.B. Egloo had planned to raise $30,000 at first.C. Egloo is much cheaper online than in stores.D. Egloo got investment from the government.CCheynes Beach Whaling Station is Australia’s last whaling station. Operated since 1952 it is now closed. This brings an end to whaling activity that has forced humpbacks(座头鲸), southern right whales, and sperm whales(抹香鲸) almost to die out in Australian waters.Improved technology such as faster boats and later factory ships and the use of aircraft to find groups of whales increased the efficiency of whaling and reduced thenumber of whales. This forced the Australian government to prevent all whaling from happening before whales died out in Australian waters.Tangalooma in Queensland was once the largest land-based whaling station in the southern hemisphere(半球). It closed in 1962 after reducing the number of humpbacks off the east coast of Australia from about 15,000 to 500 whales in ten years. Humpbacks have been protected under Australian law since 1963.Whaling was one of Australia's first industries. Whale oil was used for lighting and candle making. Later the oil was used in cosmetics(化妆品) while whale meat was used for animal food. Whale bones were used in women s clothing.The value of the industry became different greatly over the years as the prices of whale oil were affected by market influences. The introduction of vegetable oil and new waysof getting petroleum oil in the USA in the late 1850s reduced the world’ s dependence on whale oil.16,000 sperm whales have been killed in Australia waters since 1952. The final season’s catch for the Cheynes Beach. Station was 698 sperm whales.28. How did new technology influence whales?A. They were better protected.B. They were left in safer environments.C. They were used more effectively.D. They were caught more easily.29. What do we know about Tangalooma?A. It was set up in the sea.B. It didn’t kill any whales after 1962.C. It was protected under Australian law.D. It used to be the world’s largest w haling station.30. What did Greenpeace members probably think of whaling?A. It was cruel.B. It was acceptable.C. It was internationally popular.D. It was a slowly developing industry.31. Which of the following was a use of whale oil?A. Improving health.B. Making clothes.C. Creating lighting .D. Producing food.DFor fans of Tai Chi, the wait to see it get global recognition may soon be over.Although it’s popular, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient martial art. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is better suited for their grandparents. Many young people are turning to Indian Yoga, which wa s placed on UNESCO’s list last year. About 10 million Chinese people practice yoga in 20xx, up from 4 million in 20xx. Many of them do yoga to keep fit and relieve stress.Tai chi is also a great way to keep healthy. Researchers from the American college of Rheumatology found that it can help manage several diseases. At the same time, more effortsare being made by China to get young people to practice this kind of martial art.32. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Tai Chi and Indian Yoga.B. Recognition on Way for Tai Chi.C. Sports among Young Generation.D. Popularity on Way for Tai Chi.33. What does the writer want to convey in Paragraph 3?A. Tai Chi is ancient and native in China.B.

The author mentioned Indian Yoga to ________.B. provide ways for the protection of Tai ChiC. explain why Chinese youth prefer YogaD. show how popular Indian Yoga is in China35. What is likely to be written about after the last paragraph?A. What can be done to promote Tai Chi.B. How Tai Chi can be beneficial to people.C. What the research of Rheumatology is.D.
