Heres a look at four unique Chinese folk art forms. Chinese Opera (戏剧) is the traditional form of Chinese drama. According to incomplete statistics, in Chinas various ethnic regions there are about more than 360 kinds of operas. The most famous ones include Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Yueju Opera, Yuju Opera, Sichuan Opera, Fujian Opera, Hebei opera, Huangmei Opera arid so on, in total more than 50, among which Peking Opera is the most popular in China. Shadow Play (皮影戏) dates back to Western Han Dynasty in Shaanxi more than 1,000 years ago. The moving figures, usually carved out from leather, are operated by folk artists, accompanied by music and singing. It is the worlds first dubbed (配音的) motion picture art form, thus considered the ancestor of modern film. Today this art form is still popular in northern China. Paper-cutting (剪纸) is one of the most popular traditional decorative arts in China with a long history. Paper-cutting can be seen across China and it has even developed into different local genres (流派). They are usually used to decorate gates and windows during festivals. The Kite was invented by Chinese people. According to legend the earliest kite in China was a wooden bird by Mo Di in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Later his student Lu Ban improved the tech and used bamboo as material to make a kite. Today, various kite-flying activities can be found in different regions of China. Shandong Weifang Kite Festival is held every year and attracts lots of kite lovers and travelers.37. Which Chinese Opera is the most popular in China?A. Peking Opera.B. Kunqu Opera.C. Yueju Opera.D.

What is the main topic of this article?A. Chinese folk art.B. Chinese folk paintings.C. Chinese operas.D. Chinese folk plays.BTheres a new frontier in 3D printing thats beginning to come into focus: food. Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isnt stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed,rather than farm to table.Sustainability(可持续性）The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids(水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock food that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterdays bread from the supermarket, youd eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.42. What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A.It helps cooks to create new dishes.B. It saves time and effort in cooking.C. It improves the cooking conditions.D. It contributes to restaurant decorations.43. What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A. It solves food shortages easily.B. It quickens the transportation of food.C. It needs no space for the storage of food.D. It uses renewable materials as sources of food.44. According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food _.A. is more available to consumersB. can meet individual nutritional needsC. is more tasty than food in supermarketsD. can keep all the nutrition in raw materials45. What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?A. The printing process is complicated.B. 3D food printers are too expensive.C. Food materials have to be dry.D. Some experts doubt 3D food printing.46. What could be the best title of the passage?A. 3D Food Printing: Delicious New TechnologyB. A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC. The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD. 3D Food Printing: From Farm to TableCFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever hasThere is nothing more tiring than not succeeding We experience this tiredness in two ways：as start-up fatigue（疲惫） and performance fatigueIn the former case，we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficultAnd the longer we delay it，the more tired we feel Such start-up fatigue is very real，even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bonesThe solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult job first Years ago，I was asked to write 102essays on the great ideas of some famous authorsApplying my own rule，I determined to write them in alphabetical（按字母顺序），never letting myself leave out a tough ideaAnd I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writingExperience proved that the rule works Performance fatigue is more difficult to handleThough willing to get started，we cannot seem to do the job rightIts difficulties appear so great that，however hard we work，we fail again and againIn such a situation，I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica （大英百科全书），I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articlesNothing like this had ever been done before，and day after dat I kept coming up with solutions，but none of them workedMy fatigue became almost unbearable One day，mentally exhausted，I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solvedI tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself，not with meRelived，I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep An hour later，I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mindIn the weeks that followed，the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every stepThough I worked as hard as before，I felt no fatigueSuccess was now as exciting as failure had been depressing Human beings，I believe must try to succeedSuccess，then，means never feeling tired47.

What could be the best title for the passage？ _A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue：A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue：An Early Sign of Health ProblemsDA scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in commonAfter all，the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world，and the baby is，well，just playingright？Perhaps，but some developmental psychologists （心理学家）have argued that thisplayis more like a scientific investigation than one might think Take a closer look at the baby playing at the tableEach time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge，it falls in the ground-and，in the process，it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact（相互作用）； bowls of rice do not float in mid-are，but require support to remain stableIt is likely that babies are not born knowing this basic fact of the universe；nor are they ever clearly taught itInstead，babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interactThough their ranges and tools differ，the babys investigation and the scientists experiment appear to share the same aim（to learn about the natural world ），overall approach （gathering direct evidence from the world），and logic （are my observations what I expected？） Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way-that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar meansFor example，it may only be through repeated experiments，evidence gathering，and finally overturning a theory，that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has，for example，unlike the child，Mommy actually doesnt like Dove chocolate Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn，but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientistsWhy do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike？Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort-the desire to explore，explain，and understand our world-is simply something that comes from our babyhoodPerhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds，and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as childrenThe same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientistsAs some psychologists put it，It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children52.
