Early in 2017 Professor Craig E．Smith published a study.He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age.They told the kids a story about a boy or girldoing something wrong，such as taking a classmate's toy or candy，and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it.In each case，they asked the children，“How would the child feel？How would the mother feel？”The children's answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement withthe above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood.More of the four-to-five-year olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy，lying and getting unpunished.They imagined the parent in the study would beangry with the child who confessed.However，the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.Reward the honesty even if you feel，what parents can learn from these studies is to you must punish the wrong action.”He addslisten calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.denial”in Paragraph 1 mean?()1、What does the underlined word“A．委屈B．责备C．否认D．拒绝()2、Paragraph 2 mainly tells us______.A．kids can't tell“right”from“wrong”B．it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truthC．it's wrong to punish kids for telling the truthD．all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act()3、What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?A．Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.B．Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.C．The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime.D．The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.()4、According to Professor Smith，what can parents learn from these studies? A．Parents should at once punish the children who lied.B．Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.C．Parents should never get angry after their children's confessions.D．Parents should show positive feelings about their children's confessions.()5、What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Children often like making mistakes when they are young.B．A research about 48 children between four and nine years of age.C．Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.D．How the parents treat their children when their children make mistakes.Passage CThe world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70%of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97%of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farmsand homes make our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too.How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain（酸雨）, is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough dean water. We have to learn how to stop wasting water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water i~ used only once and then sere out into a sewer system（下水道）. From there it returns to the sea or goes underground.But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won't be used up.1. The world is thirsty for water because______.A．we don't have enough fresh waterB．a lot of water goes into sewer systemsC．only 70% of the earth's surface is waterD．sea water is widely used rather than fresh water2. The underlined word "face" means"______".A．turn the face down B．turn the face upC．turn the face to D．turn the face back3. From this passage, we know acid rain________.A．is only bad for living thingsB．is not bad for buildings and factoriesC．can be produced in factoriesD．is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings4. One difficult way we can solve the problem is to ______.A．use the water with salt in it B．remove the salt from sea waterC．get water from underground D．reuse the water in cities5. What is the best title for this passage?A．Fresh water and sea water B．A thirsty countryC．The importance of water D．The world's water problemPassage DLet us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonightis likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has influence on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dreamand what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is notaccepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe thatdreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is away of having your wishes carried out.1. From the passage we know that our dreams .A. are imagination of our daily lifeB. are man’s curious look into the futureC. have nothing to do with our feelingsD. are to some degree connected with ourfeelings2. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that .A. you are in a state of being coldB. you are in a state of being tiredC. you are in a state of hungerD. you should have had your dinner that day3. Some scientists’ explanation of dreams.A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonableB. gives an exact description of ourlifeC. provides us with information of dreamsD. is of no use for usPassage EThomas I’m not really sure what I’ll do in the years from now.

In the wilderness, everyone has his own way to protecthimself. Even plants have their own ways to fight off enemies.Over millions of years, plants have developed their own defense system (防卫系统).Chemicals are fantastically used by plants to survive (幸存). By making their leaves, flowers,roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has foundwhen an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount(数量) of poison increases in the otherleaves. “It’s like the injured leaves telephoning the others to fight together against the enemy,he said.The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell.Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poisonwithin 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees’ leaves, he will die. Every kind of plant or tree is good at producing a special set of chemicals. Herbivores, likerabbits, can safely eat the leaves of one tree, but they may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have not only developed their own defense system, but also shared it withothers. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.1．From the first 2 paragraphs, we can learn that _________.A. plants can do nothing against their enemiesB. chemicals are quite useful for plants to surviveC. an antelope can always run away from a strong lionD. leaves, roots, flowers and fruits of plants are poisonous2．If animals eat one Golden Wattle tree’s leaves, the tree can________.A. kill the animals with a special smellB. tell other trees to come to protect itC. warn other trees against the animals on the phoneD. send defense messages to the neighboring plants3．The underlined word “herbivores” in the 5th paragraph probably means animals which_____.A．produce poison B．live on small animalsC．like to eat rabbits D．feed on plants or grass4．The last paragraph of the passage suggests that this kind of defense system is ________.A．bad for animals B．good for forestsC．helpful to some animals D．harmful to forests5．The passage is mainly about __________.A．the examples of protecting forestsB．the balance between animals and plantsC．the ways of plants fighting against enemiesD．the relationship between lions and antelopesPassage GHow should you begin and finish an email message to someone you don't know?

WHO made the decision in its third meeting about the coronavirus, after it decided not to take such a step in the first two meetings.Officially called a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), it is considered to be a public health risk through the international spread of disease. It suggests a serious, sudden and unusual situation in which the world must act quickly.Since 2009, there have been a few global health emergencies, including the 2009 swine flu pandemic (猪流感) and the 2014 outbreak of ebola in West Africa.The new coronavirus has got attention because of its similarity to SARS which killed about 800 people across the world in 2002-2003. So far, the new coronavirus does not seem to be as deadly as SARS, but there have been more cases. Its declaration could cause trade and travel restrictions (限制). Those who have made holiday plans might have their plans affected (受影响的) in some parts of the world.The WHO said its greatest worry was the potential (潜在性) for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, who might not be able to handle (处理) it. “We are all in this together and we can only stop it together,”said the WHO’s Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.阅读短文内容，选择最佳选项。

六、书面表达保护野生动物一、阅读理解Since December, there have been tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases both in and out of China, caused by a previously unknown virus: novel coronavirus (新冠病毒).It’s not the first time for viruses to make headlines. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, with their potential to cause widespread disease and death.What are they? Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms (有机物). They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They contain genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein.Unlike bacteria (细菌), viruses can’t reproduce on their own. Instead, they invaded the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is: where did viruses first come from?Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves withi n the cells they’ve invaded.”Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts—not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task, says Nature.However, there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, and then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved (进化) from pieces of DNA or RNA that“escaped” from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and proofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.1. What can we learn about viruses from the passage?A. They only infect animals and plants.B. They reproduce by finding a host cell.C. They are really small living organisms.D. They are more dangerous than bacteria.2. The underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.A. creativeB. effectiveC. reasonableD. unbelievable3. What can we learn from the passage?A. The author is confident about further virus studies.B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals.D. It may take a long time to discover the origin of viruses.4. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Where Do Viruses Come from?B. Why Is COVID-19 a Terrible Virus?C. How to Stop the Viruses from Spreading?D. What Are the Differences Between Viruses and Bacteria?二、完形填空As the saying goes, “A hero is known in the time of misfortune（不幸）”.Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this. He is a doctor in Guangdong, who 1many people’s lives in 2003.In 2003, SARS 2 in Guangdong. Later, it spread across China and otherparts of the world. Patients coughed a lot and got fevers.

He supports e-commerce and the new economy, which create jobs that never existed before.Every day in China, about 16,500 new enterprises are established, and 40,000 people find new jobs in towns and cities.In total, China has created more than 80 million new urban jobs over the past seven years, equal to the entire German population.China now has the world's largest courier delivery service market, employing more than 3 million people, who send everything from meals to fridges around the country. Earlier this year, Xi paid a surprise visit to a tiny delivery station in Beijing and chatted with a group of deliverymen.This closeness to the people is not a singular event. For the past seven years, Xi has spent time with regular people before every Chinese New Year: giving them festival gifts, observing festive traditions such as food preparation, and asking about their lives and welfare."CPC members must wholeheartedly serve the people," Xi often reminds Party cadres.This connection with the people can be traced back to a time when Xi lived and worked in a remote village in Shaanxi province as an adolescent and young adult for seven years.He has said that he understands the hardships of the people because he once lived in an impoverished corner of the country. He has been known to check the toilets and washrooms of ordinary homes, offer advice on garbage sorting, and show concern for students' poor eyesight.In 2013, Xi put forward "targeted poverty alleviation"(定向扶贫) and set a goal to eliminate extreme rural poverty by 2020, a deadline that is 10 years earlier than the goal set by the United Nations.Over the past seven years, more than 82 million Chinese people left poverty behind. Xi said extreme poverty "would be historically solved in the hands of our generation".Kishore Mahbubani, a professor at the National University of Singapore, said the most outstanding achievement of China in the last 70 years had been the dramatic improvement in the living conditions of the people.Reviewing China's long history, Mahbubani said even at previous peaks of glory, the bottom 50 percent of the population had to struggle to make ends meet. But today even low-income people have access to nutritious food, education, healthcare, housing, employment and even the ability to travel."There is no doubt that, in terms of the living conditions of the people, the past 70 years have been the best years in China's history," he said.1.Why does President Xi say he supports e-commerce and the new economy?A. because e-commerce and the new economy is very completely new for us all.B. because they can offer lots of chances to get jobs for many people.C．because they existed before.D. because they can make people rich quickly.2.

2020中考英语时事阅读测试含答案Passage 1 ：Meeting again for the first timeYou visit a park one day and someone nearly crashes into you while riding their bike. You feel like you've experienced this particular event before. Has this happened to you? This strange feeling is actually quite common. In psychology (心理学), it is known as "deja vu (似曾相识的感觉)".How can we explain this phenomenon (现象)? Scientists have tried to use virtual reality (虚拟现实) technology to reproduce it. In one study, scientists used the video game The Sims to study deja vu. For example, they replaced the bushes in the game's virtual garden with trash cans. When players looked at the garden, they experienced a sense of deja vu. Scientists think deja vu might be explained as a simple failure of memory. We see something that looks similar to something we've seen before, but our brains fail to find the exact memory. However, the brain still recognizes (识别) the similarity, leaving us with a sense of familiarity (熟悉感).Epilepsy (癫痫), a brain disease that can cause seizures (突然发作), is believed to be an extreme example of deja vu. People with epilepsy often experience unusual feelings similar to deja vu.Should we be worried when we experience deja vu? As long as it doesn't affect your daily life, researchers think there is no need to worry. In fact, some scientists believe that it may be helpful. They believe deja vu might be caused by the brain rearranging (重新组织) misplaced memories. This could show that our memories are working well. This theory also explains why younger people are more likely to experience it, as their brains are still growing.1"Deja vu" refers to _____.A. a phenomenon that happens during sleepB. a phenomenon that happens more than onceC. a sense of familiarity in a new situationD. a common feeling of strangeness2：How can scientists explain deja vu?A. By experiencing it themselves.B. By reproducing it in an experimental setting.C. By studying video games.D. By studying people who have poor memories.3：What do we know about deja vu, according to Paragraph 3?A. It seldom happens to people with good memories.B. It shows that our brains are in good shape.C. It is recognized as a mental illness.D. It happens when our memories fail.4：The last paragraph tells us about _____.A. the positive sides of deja vuB. the influence of deja vu on memoryC. new findings about deja vuD. young people who experience deja vu参考答案：CBDAPassage 2 ：Life after deathWhen whales die in the ocean, their huge bodies fall to the bottom (底部). Scientists have a name for this: a whale fall (鲸落). In March, Chinese scientists discovered (发现) a whale fall in the South China Sea (中国南海). This is the first whale fall ever found in China.After the whale falls to the bottom of the sea, other sea animals eat the meat off the dead whale. But did you know? The dead whale can become an ecosystem (生态系统). Many animals live on it.What happens during a whale fall?The whale body goes through three stages (阶段). What happens during these stages? Let's take a look together.No.1The whale body attracts (吸引) lots of sea animals, such as small fish, sharks and crabs. They come to eat the skin and muscle of the whale. Usually, it takes at least four months for those animals to eat the whale. Wow, what a good meal!No.2After the whale becomes a skeleton (骨架), other animals come. They are mollusks (软体动物) and worms (蠕虫). They build their homes on the bones (骨头). These animals are weak (柔弱的). The huge and strong whale bones protect them. This stage may last (持续) for about two years. No.3Bacteria (细菌) play an important role at the third stage. They disintegrate (分解) the lipids (脂类) in the bones and get energy (能量) from it. Thensmall animals such as sea snails (海螺) and clams (蛤蜊) eat the bacteria. This stage can last for as long as 100 years because the whale bones are very large.Some scientists believe there is a fourth stage. When all the useful parts are gone, the whale will become part of a reef (礁岩). Sea animals live and play around it.Did you know?The whale fall found in the South China Sea is 3 meters long. It is still in the first stage. Scientists saw fish eating the tail of the whale. This means the whale died recently.Whale falls are rareThere are less than 50 natural whale falls in the world. So it is lucky for China to find one. Why are they so rare? The sea is very big. It's hard for people to look for whale falls in such a big area. What's more, because of whale hunting (捕鲸), there are fewer whales in the world. Whales are selfless, even when they die. It's time for us to show respect (尊敬) to these great animals.1：Where did Chinese scientists discovered a whale fall ？2：How long does it take at the first stage after whale's death？3：What's important at the first stage？4：Why did the third stage last for as long as 100 years ？5：Whale falls are rare参考答案：1: in the South China Sea2：it takes at least four months for those animals to eat the whale.3：Bacteria play an important role at the third stage.4：because the whale bones are very large.5：The sea is very big. It's hard for people to look for whale falls in such a big area. What's more, because of whale hunting , there are fewer whales in the world.Passage 3：Inspired by KobeAlthough Kobe Bryant is no longer with us, his unbreakable will on and off the basketball court lives on. This month, it was announced that the late superstar would be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, a prestigious honor for basketball's best. Alongside Bryant, eight others will be inducted at a ceremony on Aug 29."His fierce competitiveness, work ethic and drive were unmatched," Jeanie Buss, owner of the Los Angles Lakes, told ESPN. "Those qualities helped Bryant lead us to five titles –and have now brought him to the Hall of Fame, where he will be enshrined with the greatest to have ever played the game. No one deserves it more."Indeed, what elevated Bryant above his peers was his unmatchable commitment to be the best. He was ruthless in his pursuit to dominate his opponents. He called it the "mamba mentality" after the black mamba, one of the world's deadliest snakes –and also after the top killer from the 2003 movie Kill Bill, according to The New Yorker.The mamba mentality became so popular that Bryant detailed his process in his book The Mamba Mentality: How I Play. In it, he revealed his famously detailed approach as well as his physical and mental preparation to not just succeed at the game, but to excel."Mamba mentality is all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most," he wrote in the book. "It's the ultimate mantra for the competitive spirit. It started just as a hash tag that came to me one day, and it's grown into something athletes –and even non-athletes –embrace as a mindset."Bryant took after one of basketball's most legendary players, Michael Jordan, not only with regard to Jordan's playing style, but his competitive nature."I liked challenging people and making them uncomfortable," Bryant wrote in an excerpt published on the Players' Tribune. "That's what leads to introspection and that's what leads to improvement. You could say I dared people to be their best selves."Though many were shocked and sad when the Los Angles great died in a helicopter crash in January, all signs point to Bryant's legacy persisting for generations to come. Whether you're a basketball player or not, you can't deny the Kobe's power to inspire you to be your best self.1：when will the ceremony be inducted？2:What Did Jeanie Buss say about Kobe?3:What did Kobe think of Mamba mentality?4:Did Kobe die in a helicopter crash in January?5：What do you think of Kobe's power？参考答案：1: on Aug 29.2: His fierce competitiveness, work ethic and drive were unmatched3: Mamba mentality is all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most4:：Yes；it is5：inspiredPassage 4：Panic breeds stockpilingBeing in the midst of a pandemic lockdown can make people feel worried. But nothing has exemplified (例证) this panicky behavior more than hoarding (囤积), specifically toilet paper.Seemingly transcending (超越) borders and cultures, people from all over the world, including the US, UK and Japan, have been clearing supermarket shelves primarily for this necessity. But what's the reason for this sudden toilet paper fixation? You can understand panic buying food, but do we really need this much toilet paper?Steven Taylor, author of the book The Psychology of Pandemics, told the Independent that our toilet paper hoarding is a product of our disgust. During a pandemic, people's sensitivity (敏感) to disgust increases, like when you flinch (躲避) if someone nearby sneezes (打喷嚏)."Disgust is like an alarm mechanism (机制) ... and what better tool for eliminating (消除) disgusting material than toilet paper. I think this is how it became a conditioned symbol of safety," he said.Writing for The Conversation, Niki Edwards of The Queensland University of Technology said, "When people hear about the novel coronavirus, they are afraid of losing control. And toilet paper feels like a way to maintain control over hygiene (卫生) and cleanliness."Another one of the most prominent reasons behind this toilet paper trend, according to the BBC, is the snowball effect. Due to its prominent coverage, both in the news and social media, people naturally ask, "Will there be enough toilet paper for my family and me?" This invariably (一成不变地) leads to more people following the crowd and buying toilet paper because of their fear of missing out."Fear is very contagious. So when those sorts of things go viral (走红), when you see people around you buying things in a panicky way, it's going to make you feel more anxious," wrote American psychologist Baruch Fischhoff for CNBC.While there are, of course, selfish people who stockpile (囤积) just because they can, it's worth keeping things in perspective. Remember, just as countries are cooperating to find a vaccine, we must cooperate to ensure that everyone has their share of necessities.1：According to Steven Taylor, what does this toilet paper trend result from?A. The desire to get rid of disgusting material.B. The fear of losing control over cleanliness.C.The frequent reporting on toilet paper.D. The selfish side of human nature.2：Whose words are quoted to explain "the snowball effect"?A. Steven Taylor's.B. Niki Edwards'.C.Baruch Fischhoff's.D. The author's.3：What does the underlined phrase "keeping things in perspective" in the last paragraph mean?A. Following the crowd.B. Reducing panic.C.Being prepared for uncertainty.D.Taking everything into consideration.4：What is the author's purpose in writing this text?A.To explore the negative effects of the toilet paper hoarding.B. To explain why people tend to stockpile toilet paper.C.To criticize those people who hoard toilet paper.D. To discuss people's different attitudes toward the toilet paper hoarding.参考答案：ACDBPassage 5 Zhou shines like treasureCan you sing in different 1 （voice）? Chinese singer Zhou Shen can do this.

Some people call him "treasure boy (宝藏男孩)".1-5：voices；including；impressed；success；however6-10：at；strong；gradually；humorous；friendlyPassage 6 No limit to languageChina's cultural influence (影响) is starting to rise around the world. Translation (翻译) plays an important role. From sci-fi to wuxia to animated (动画的) movies, translation bridges the language gap (语言隔阂) and helps foreigners learn more about Chinese culture, both traditional and modern. Here, TEENS has chosen several Chinese books and movies that have been translated into English. They are all popular in the West, partly because they are well-translated.The Three-Body Problem 《三体》This Hugo Award (雨果奖) winner is the most well-known work of Chinese science fiction (sci-fi，科幻小说). Its translator, Ken Liu (刘宇昆), helped it become popular.Liu was born in China and grew up in the US. He can speak both Chinese and English. He also writes sci-fi stories himself. That made him the best choice to translate the story. Liu didn't translate the book word for word. Instead, he tried to make it easier for English readers to understand. For example, he changed the structure (结构) of the story and moved its historical background (背景) to the beginning.Foreign readers like the English version (版本), including former US president Barack Obama. Many English speakers have become fans of Liu Cixin and Chinese sci-fi.Ne Zha 《哪吒之魔童降世》Last year, when the animated movie Ne Zha went to North American theaters, there was wide discussion online about the translation. People found it hard to translate some Chinese phrases (短语) into English. One example was the Taoist spell (咒语) jijirulüling ("急急如律令"). American translator Jerimiah Willhite translated the film. He learned Chinese while in college and is a big fan of Chinese culture. He has read many classic (古典的) Chinese books, including Tao Te Ching (《道德经》).He translated the spell to "be quick to obey (遵从) my command (指令)." His work has helped English speakers enjoy the movie. On the movie review (影评) website Rotten Tomatoes, Ne Zha has a rating (评分) of 88 percent.Legends of the Condor Heroes 《射雕英雄传》Almost everyone in China knows Jin Yong and his wuxia books. But in the West, he is not well-known. One reason is that his books are hard to translate. But British translator Anna Holmwood decided to try. Holmwood began to learn Chinese at 21. When she read Legends of the Condor Heroes, she loved the world and characters in the book. She wanted to bring the book to more people.Many phrases in the book are hard to translate. But Holmwood made them easy and natural (自然的) to understand. For example, she translated xianglongshibazhang ("降龙十八掌") into "the 18 palm (掌) attacks (攻击) to defeat (打败) dragons".When the English book came out in the UK in 2018, it was reprinted (重印) seven times within just a few months.1：The writer thinks that translation can _____.A. help Chinese people learn EnglishB. make Chinese books and movies popular in the WestC.encourage Chinese writers to write better booksD. make some translators famous2：Why was Ken Liu the best choice to translate The Three-Body Problem?A. Because he knows both Chinese and US culture well.B. Because he is an experienced translator.C.Because he is a popular translator in the West.D. Because he is the writer's best friend.3：From the story, we know that _____.A. it is easy to translate animated moviesB. Jerimiah Willhite is a fan of Ne ZhaC.Ne Zha was a success in AmericaD. Ne Zha is a famous character in the West4：According to the story, how did Holmwood translate wuxia books?A. She talked with Jin Yong.B.
