3．Huge beasts，one male and one female，protect the entrances to palaces，temples and other important buildings in China.These lion statues lie at the sides of the entrances to restaurants and shopping malls as well （the pair in the picture stand guard within the Forbidden City）.They are also found in Chinese communities around the world.In Chinese culture，the lion is a symbol of strength and good luck and defends against something bad.
Whether made of stone or metal，these big and heavy statues are always used in pairs，one on each side of a door or gate.Looking out on the left （your right as you move towards the entrance） is the male lion，with his right front paw on a ball that stands for the world.On the other side，the female lion rests her left paw on a baby lion，standing for the raising of life.The two lions show us the Chinese idea of yin and yang：opposites that create one whole.In the mouths of some lion statues is a big pearl，a symbol of wisdom and power.These statues are designed so that the pearl can move around but not be removed.
Historians believe lions were brought to China during the Han Dynasty （206 B．C．-220 A．D．），a time of increasing trade along the Silk Road.The lions were from Central Asia and were smaller than the more familiar African lion.Interestingly，in China，unlike in the West，these statues are never called "fu dogs".Here are some interpretations：some think the lions are like Chinese dogs，such as the shih tzu （獅子狗），chowchow and so on.Others say that "fu" sounds like the Chinese word for "success" and the word for "Buddha".

A．what the lion statues are made of
B．what the lion statues stand for
C．how much people like the lion statues
D．where the lion statues come from

4．If you were in Xi'an in Shannxi Province on April 18，2022，you might feel like you were back in ancient China.There were catwalk shows and traditional music concerts held by people wearing traditional Chinese clothing，or jye.ai.Huafu fans from across the country got together there to take pictures and post them online for a huafu photo competition，which lasted for a month.People held the activities to celebrate a new national holiday—China Huafu Day.They wanted to encourage young Chinese to be proud of traditional clothing，as well as classic Chinese culture.
The government chose the third day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar as China Huafu Day.This day is said to be the birthday of the Yellow Emperor.This year，the China Huafu Day fell on April 3.
Huafu includes the traditional clothing of all ethnic （民族的） groups in China.Among them，hanfu，the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group，has the most fans in recent years.Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people who lived in China before the Qing Dynasty.It has been around for about 3，000 years and changed greatly across different dynasties.It is hard to count the number of people who wear hanfu today，but hanfu clubs may be found almost in every university and city.Many young people wear hanfu to look like characters from comics and games.This really brings us back to the ancient fashion.
"China is becoming a leading power in the world，and Chinese people feel more confident about our traditional culture." Chen Chuyu，leader of a Beijing-based hanfu institution （學院），told People's Life Online， "Wearing traditional clothing might be an interesting way of showing it."

B．

5．Can we "design" a baby the way we design a handbag？It may sound crazy，but the technology for a "designer baby" is actually possible.But this problem has also caused a lot of debates （爭論）.
A "designer baby" refers to the research that allows scientists to make changes to unborn babies' DNA.The changes to the DNA and genes （基因）are made in the hopes that babies will less likely be born with certain serious illnesses.The idea that we could stop children from being born with such illnesses became very popular，so during the 21st century，research progressed very quickly.
However，people learned that it was not only illnesses that we could change，but also a baby's gender and physical appearance.A well-known case on the use of genetic engineering happened in 1996.An American couple，Monique and Scott Collins，decided to use a doctor's research to help them choose the gender of their next baby.They wanted to have a baby girl.Their story became famous and caused debates on how much doctors can do.For example，you could control babies' eye color，hair color and even things like height.
People think that it is not right to design our babies the way we would design a bag，but the research is also helpful in the medical field.One example of this is that Dr Adrian Thrasher of University College London was able to save a 1-year-old child from leukemia（白血病）.
（1）The "designer baby technology" is about.
A．designing a handbag for a baby
B．stopping the growth of unborn babies
C．doing research on baby's design ideas
D．changing the genes of an unborn baby

（4）What do people think of the "designer baby technology"？

D．It can be used for a second baby.組卷：17引用：1難度：0.5

6．How to speak English well？
（1）
The right attitude can make the difference between failure and success.Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English，and start thinking of yourself as someone
who speaks English.It's a small change，but it will make you feel more confident and help you to use the English better.
（2）
If someone asks you a question and you're not sure how to answer，start by thinking about the words used in the question.The person has already said most of the words you need to make your answer.
（3）
When most students listen to a native English-speaker，they pay much attention to understanding what all the words mean.This is important，but there is a lot more you can learn from listening.Try listening not just to what the words mean，but to how the person says them. （4）
Speaking English fluently means being able to express your thoughts，feelings and ideas.
Your goal is to speak English in full sentences，so why not learn it in full sentences？You'll find that English is more useful in your everyday life if you study whole phrases，rather than just vocabulary and verbs.Start by thinking about phrases that you use frequently in your native language，and then learn how to say them in English.
（5）
The key to learning a language is finding a balance between studying and practicing.
Speaking English fluently isn't the same as knowing perfect English grammar – even native English-speakers make grammar mistakes!Fluency is about being able to communicate.That's why sometimes it's important to put the grammar textbook away，so you can go out and practice those writing，reading，listening and speaking skills in the real world.
A.Remember the Answer Is in the Question
B.Don't Study Grammar Too Much
C.Use It or Lose It
D.Stop Being a Student
E.Learn and Study Phrases
F.Get More out of Listening組卷：7引用：1難度：0.5
