21、Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love
Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity.
Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via (通过) her channel.
It is the spirit of craftsmanship (技艺) behind her works that makes Li’s video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.
Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives.

Thanks to Li’s efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes.

22、 Slowly but surely, we're moving closer to the super-fast 5C world that tech companies have been promising us for years. But do we really know it all?【1】
◆It's not quite here yet.
Though we've seen a lot of positive progress, we still have a long way to go before 5G is anywhere near as available as 4G is right now. But most in the industry agree that 2020 is the earliest when 5G will ever begin to touch most consumers. And even then, early 5G networks could come with their fair share of growing pains.【2】
◆It's not going to be cheap.
【3】Some companies haven't commented on specific pricing yet, but, as most have pointed out, data costs have historically climbed as network speeds increase. There's little reason to think that trend won't continue. It's not all bad news, though. Experts are optimistic that data prices will come down in the long run once 5G starts to be widely available. But it's impossible to say how long that change could take.
◆【4】
It's obvious that 5G networks will bring fast data connections. However, part of its appeal is that it makes It's obvious that 5G networks will bring fast data connections. However, part of its appeal is that it makes mobile networks better, meaning that networks can support many more data connections than what was previously possible. Have you ever been to an event where your data connection slowed down or stopped working?【5】 But 5G networks have a much higher ability to support up to a million devices per square kilometer.
A.It's really, really fast.
B.It's not just about speed.
C.Extra speed comes at a higher cost.
D.Here are three major disadvantages of 5G.
E.Let's clear out some misunderstandings about it.
F.That's because present networks can easily be overloaded.
G.Unbalanced coverage or negative effects on battery life may arise.
23、On the eastern side of the Arabian Peninsula, the desert turns green as clouds cover it like a blanket. This is the country of Oman’s monsoon (季风) season. The natural event, which is a festival and lasts three months, draws hundreds of thousands of tourists with cool weather and beautiful views. It began on June 21.
A 60-day festival, in Oman’s Dhofar region, draws about 50,000 people every night for dance competitions, and musical performances. In the midst of the clouds, people celebrate Oman’s cultural diversification of Arab, African, and Asian roots.
Officials in Dhofar region started the monsoon festival in 1998. The monsoon festival now draws performers from 40 countries. 60 percent of the visitors come from Oman, while the rest come from nearby countries such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Each night, a different Omani city takes the main stage. The port of Sohar did a sea-themed show with cannons (大炮) and a large wooden ship. The next night, a group from Bidbid sang with swords while a musician blew into a goat’s horn. Actually, different groups used the festival to share their world-wide cultures.
The mountains around Salalah, Dhofar’s capital city, trap wetness from the Indian Ocean monsoon. Air pressure pockets above Saudi Arabia and Tibet drive air currents (气流) to Oman. These weather currents create a special environment, which has heavy fogs and green mountains and coasts.
Thomas Wagmann, on holiday from Dubai, noted, “Compared to Dubai, this Dhofar region is just fantastic because you can be outdoors all the time.” He added, “You don’t even have to worry about sunburn because there’s no sun.”
【1】What does the underlined word “diversification” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Pressure. B. Difference.
C. History. D. Happiness.
【2】What can people do when watching the performances of different groups?

B. Watch some special ships.
C. Play strange musical instruments.
D. Appreciate music and dances only from Oman.
【3】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. The beautiful natural scenery of Oman.
B. The Oman’s special geographic position.
C. The cause of Oman’s special climate in the monsoon festival.
D. The reasons of tourists’ celebrating the monsoon festival in Oman.
【4】What did Thomas Wagmann like about the festival?
A. Getting sunburned. B. Staying inside all the time.
C. The same weather as Dubai. D. The weather without strong sunshine.
24、Some people may mistake college as a simple step above high school, but an examination of the two levels of study reveals that there are indeed numerous differences between the two.
One of the differences is the nature of classes in college and in high school. In high school classes, tasks and learning materials that are to be used to complete the tasks are provided for the students. 【1】
In college, the situation is very different because it is the students who are charged with the responsibility to decide the kinds of classes that they should take until they graduate. 【2】 If a student has challenges in selecting a unit, the student may make an appointment with a professor. Even so, college students are rarely given the materials that they need for their study and therefore, unlike high school, they must purchase the necessary texts and other learning materials by themselves.
【3】 For instance, high school teachers tend to be more interested in knowing the name of every student in their class while college professors rarely relate names to the faces of their students. Also, high school teachers are more likely to closely monitor the grades of their students. They will find out why a student may have missed a class. They even remind the students of assignments and future examinations.
【4】 They do not make any effort to ensure that all their students pass or score good grades in their subjects. If a student misses a class, a college professor is unlikely to follow up and give the student the notes he missed.
Finally, it is not uncommon not to be recognized by a college professor after graduating from college, unlike the case of high school teachers who remember some students long after graduation. 【5】 In college, one has to book an appointment in order to have a one-on-one time with a professor.
A.College professors do not contact students a lot after class.
B.Colleges do have guidance offices to help students plan accordingly.
C.Another difference is that high school teachers are closer to students.
D.On the other hand, college professors rarely care the attendance habits.
E.It is easy for high school students to get one-on-one time with a teacher.
F.High school teachers pay more attention to their students’ learning habits.
G.In high schools, students also have counselors to help determine courses.
