The Song Dynasty(960-1279) is often referred to as the Chinese Renaissance(文艺复兴). For about three and a quarter centuries, under its rule, China enjoyed a period of economic growth with great artistic and intellectual achievements.
One of the most important factors in the Song Renaissance was the printing press which made for a rebirth of classical Confucian learning. By the 10th century,printers were producing a large number of copies of the classical Confucian texts. With this increase in the production of books, education spread and became widely available.
Printing also had its greatest influence on the Chinese political system. In the Song Dynasty, govemment examinations became the most important way to political power
in China. For almost 1,000 years, China was govemed by men who had done very well in examinations. Thousands of students studied for the exams, and thousands of inexpensive books were required. Without printing, such a system would not have been possible.
The Song period was also the golden age of Chinese painting. Emperor Huizong(1101-1125) was a talented painter who encouraged the arts. A royal painting academy was created and many fine artists were supported. The period is best known for nature subjects and landscape paintings. Guo Xi used perspective in his paintings and The Quict Valley is one of his best-known works. One of the greatest landscape painters of the period was Fan Kuan. His masterpiece, Travelling among Mountains and Gorges, is one of the most famous Chinese paintings. Completed around the year 1000, it was inspired by the power of nature and the relative insignificance of humans.
4. When was the Chinese Renaissance?
A. Immediately after the Renaissance in Europe.
B. During the Song Dynasty.
C. At the time of Confucius.
D. in the year 1,000.
5. What contributed to spreading the ideas of Confucius?

C
They follow you in the street. They ask you for money and they don’t leave you alone when you try to say no. They are the aggressive street-working, fund-raising charity workers, otherwise known as “chuggers”.
The term “chugger” is a combination of two words, “charity” and “mugger”. Chuggers often work in the street. They set up a stall with information about the charity they represent, and they try to get you to donate money to the charity. Typically, they prey on your feelings of guilt, greeting you with questions such as, “Do you care about the planet?” or, “When was the last time you did something for someone else?”
But a survey of their strategies has found that some charity volunteers are far from charitable. “Many chuggers simply refuse to back off when asked to do so,’’ said Brian Jones, a spokesperson for a charity watchdog (监察人). “One of the problems is that some chuggers say they are working as volunteers,” he added. “However, they aren’t really. Most of the 50 chuggers we spoke to showed little interest in anything other than raising the maximum amount of cash in the minimum amount of time. They get paid from this so it makes sense. Also, a fifth of fundraisers had no visible ID and almost a quarter failed to give clear information about the cause they were representing. By employing chuggers who break the law, tell lies or refuse to leave members of the public alone, charities undermine the trust we all instinctively have in them.”
But Shirley Bosworth, chief executive of the Institution of Fundraising, said face-to-face fundraising remains “an appropriate and effective method”. “It enables charities to engage with a particular demographic of donor, and it means that charity and donor can enter into a dialogue about what the charity does and how the donor’s money will be used,” she explained.
8.What do chuggers do according to the passage?
A. They rob money of strangers.
B. They cheat you into buying things.
C. They ask you to donate money for charities.
D. They hurt your feelings by asking questions.
9. What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The survey of charity volunteers.
B. The problems with charity volunteers.
C. The basic information about charity volunteers.
D. The attitude Brian Jones takes toward charity volunteers.
10. What does the underlined word “undermine” may probably mean?
A. betray
B. strengthen
C. build
D. weaken
11. How does Shirley Bosworth feel about what chuggers do?
A, It’s useful. B. It’s disgusting. C. It’s absurd. D. It’s popular.
D
SAN FRANCISCO(AP)-Samsung says new Galaxy Note 7 smartphones will be available in U.S. stones starting Wednesday to replace about 1 million devices that are being recalled because their batteries can catch fire. The South Korean company has been scrambling to fix problems caused by faulty batteries in the latest version of its top of the line smartphone which first went on sale last month.
When it first offered on Sept. 2 to replace the affected Note 7 phones Samsung said it would swap them for models of its other phones such as the Galaxy S7 until supplies of replacement Note 7 devices became available.
Samsung followed up last week by announcing that U.S. consumers who had purchased one of the recalled phones could choose between a replacement or a refund fro the device which sells for about $850. That offer was jointly announced with officials at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission after Samsung was criticized for not coordinating more closely with the commission.
Safety officials have urged Note 7 owners to turn off their phones and return them immediately. They cited reports of Note 7 batteries overheating in the United States including 26 instances where individuals were burned and 55 that caused property damage.
The problem doesn’t affect all Note 7 phones because Samsung uses batteries from different suppliers. But the company has said about 2.5 million devices may be affected worldwide including 1 million sold in the United States.
Samsung also said it’s pushing out two software updates through wireless carriers. One will show a green battery icon to confirm that a Note 7 device is a new one that doesn’t have the battery problem. The other will display a short notice to owners of older phones covered by the recall telling them to turn off their device and take it in for a replacement.
About a quarter of affected phones had been exchanged in the United States by Tuesday According to a spokeswoman for Samsung’s U.S. subsidiary. She was unable to say how many Note 7 buyers sought refunds but said “the vast majority” received
a different Samsung phone as a replacement.
12. What’s wrong with the affected Note 7 phones?
A. The price of them is too high.
B. Their batteries can catch fire.
C. They are similar to iphone 7.
D. They have problems with their earphones.
13. What can a U.S. consumer who had purchased one of the recalled phones do according to Samsung’s announcement?
A. To sell his/her recalled phone to others for about $850.
B. To choose a replacement and a refund for his/her recalled phone.
C. To use the recalled phone to replace a Galaxy S7 first and then one of the new Note 7 devices for free.
D. To return the recalled phone and get a replacement or a refund (about $850) for the device.
14. How many affected phones had been exchanged in the United States by Tuesday?
A. About 0.625 million.
B. About 0.25 million.
C. About 0.875 million.
D. About 1 million.
15.What can we learn from the passage?
A. At least 81 cases of Note 7 batteries overheating were reported in the United States.
B. The Note 7 phones sold in China are safe.
C. The Note 7 phones used batteries from different suppliers never have the same problems.
D. The Galaxy S7 devices are the safest.

Meanwhile, I will call you the moment I am available.
I’m expecting your arrival and hope you will enjoy your stay here sincerely.
Yours,
