Do you know the "four treasures of the study" in ancient China? They are the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台) . Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone is one of the most famous inkstones and is widely loved. 

The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (复习) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao. 

In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang, Shanxi Province. There he read some books about the Xinjiang Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills. 

It was easier said than done. It took the father and son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China's famous inkstones. 

But the father and son didn't stop there. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence of the Chengni inkstone. 

(1) How does the writer start the text? A. By giving an example. B. By asking a question. C. By telling a story. D. By showing a saying.
(2) When did Lin Yongmao and Lin Tao's inkstones win a gold prize? A. In 1984. B. In 1986. C. In 1991. D. In 1994.
(3) What's the purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To tell readers how to produce the Chengni inkstone. B. To explain how hard it was to revive the Chengni inkstone. C. To encourage readers to learn about China's famous inkstones. D. To help readers understand the importance of the Chengni inkstone.
(4) What does the underlined word "expand" in the last paragraph mean? A. Clear. B. Increase. C. Avoid. D. Accept.
(5) What's the best title for the text? A. Different inkstones in ancient China B. Best inkstone-makers in China C. Bringing Chengni inkstones back to a new life D. The history of Chengni inkstones

    Why are you study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others? One reason you may not know is that people have different types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual(视觉型), Auditory(听觉型), and Kinesthetic (动觉型).

    Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs(图表), and videos, you are probably a visual learner. You're not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.

    Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it's the easiest way for you to learn . Sometimes you may find that taking notes tops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friend's notes to copy.

    Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.

    Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.

(1) There are ___________ different learning types according to the passage. A. two B. three C. four D. five
(2) Jude can remember the words of a song quickly by listening to it once or twice. She might be a /an ____________ according to the passage. A. auditory learner B. visual learner C. strange leaner D. usual learner
(3) Kinesthetic learners learn best by ____________. A. Remembering information from videos B. listening teachers in class C. drawing graphs or pictures D. doing things with their hands
(4) The best title of this passage may be "____________". A. Study Habits B. Ways to study C. Learning types D. Reasons to learn

    If you walk along the River Thames, there are lots of interesting buildings to see. Running through the heart of London, there are also many galleries, markets, shops and activities to keep you busy along its banks. You will also see a strange round building. It looks very old and very different from all the others, This is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre (莎士比亚环球剧场).

    The Globe Theatre was first built here in 1599. William Shakespeare was one of the most famous writers that ever lived. His plays were performed in the theatre for many years. However, in 1613, a fire broke out during a performance. The theatre was destroyed (毁坏), but the second was built the following year. It remained a theatre until 1644, and then it was pulled down to build houses. The modern (and also the third) Globe Theatre was completed in 1997, over 350 years later. This was done to honor Shakespeare, the most famous English writer. To this day, his many plays are performed there daily. He wrote around thirty-eight plays. They are comedies (funny stories), histories (about historical events and people), and tragedies (serious and sad stories). People come from all over the world to watch them at the Globe Theatre. They are performed in exactly the same way as they were hundreds of years ago.

    The building is round and made mostly of wood. There are simple seats on three different levels all around the sides. Everyone can see the stage (舞台). However, there is no roof (屋顶) in the middle! The cheapest tickets are standing tickets. You stand in the middle, right in front of the actors, but if it rains, you will get wet!

(1) When was the second Globe Theatre built? A. In 1599. B. In 1613. C. In 1614. D. In 1997.
(2) What can we know about Shakespeare according to the second paragraph? A. Shakespeare was one of the most famous French writers. B. Many of his plays are performed daily in the modern Globe Theatre. C. His plays are performed in a different way from they were hundreds of years ago. D. He wrote thirty-eight plays that were all about historical events and people.
(3) What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. The inside structure (结构) of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. B. The history of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. C. The opening time of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. D. The three types of tickets that you can choose.
(4) Which of the following statements about the modern Globe Theatre is TRUE? A. It has remained there for over 350 years. B. The round building looks old and strange. C.

    A lot of animals travel from one place to another. We call this migration.

    In Africa, large animals, like elephants and zebras, migrate to find food and water. They usually follow the same ways every year.

    A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather, too. They are usually birds that eat insects. They spend the summer in northern Europe, because there are lots of insects there. In the winter there aren't any insects, so the birds fly south to southern Europe and Africa.

    Some insects migrate, too. In North America, millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico, California and Florida, where it's warmer. They travel 50-65 km each day and they travel about 1, 125 km.

    Some fish migrate to breed (繁殖). Salmon (鲑鱼) can swim over 20, 000 km in their life. They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other places in northern Europe. The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean. They live in the ocean until they are adults. Then they return to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die. Salmon do this, because their eggs are safer in the river. Other fish can't eat them.

    Arctic terns (北极燕鸥) travel the furthest when they migrate. They spend the summer in the Arctic, but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic, because it's summer there. The next year they fly back to the Arctic again. In one year these small birds travel 36, 000km from one end of the earth to the other and back again. Nobody knows how they do it.

(1) According to the passage, monarch butterflies in North America migrate to___________. A. find insects B. look for water C. find better weather D. produce young
(2) Adult salmon swim back to the river because ___________. A. they won't be eaten by other big fish B. they want to lay eggs in a safer place C. they are getting ready to die there D. they want to go where they grew up

(4) The example of Arctic terns in the last paragraph is used mainly to show _________. A. the distance of migration B. the purpose of migration C. the direction of migration D. the time of migration
