It is amazing that many foreigners love learning about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). They find it 31 because it is different from the medicine they usually use. Sometimes it even doesn’t provide any medicine. They enjoy trying it to make the whole body healthy.
TCM is also an important part of Chinese culture. As we all know, TCM has a long history. The 32 medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2,000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and plants. In Chinese culture, yin and yang are the two parts of nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work 33 together. The human body needs such a 34 too. TCM helps to do that.
Quite specially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM does not give you 35 . Instead, he may give you just a good plan and right ways to eat. For example, it is common to 36 on the way to school, at our work desk, or in front of the TV. 37 , TCM thinks it’s wrong. Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, 38 the TV and keep away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body 39 often. Just as the saying goes, running water is never stale. So do exercise more often.
Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more 40 around the world. A government report says people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.
31. A. interesting B. terrible C. strange D. helpless

Altay (阿勒泰), a place in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区), has become a famous place for tourists because of a successful TV show named To the Wonder (我的阿勒泰). The show displayed the area’s amazing natural beauty, with mountains covered in snow, lakes that are very clear, and old villages that are still in good condition. Altay is also a favorite place for skiing during the cold season.
People who study tourism say that Altay has always been famous for its beautiful nature, but it was not a popular place to visit before because it took a long time to travel there and the cost of staying in hotels was high. However, the popular TV show has made more people, especially young people, interested in visiting Altay.
Even though it can be difficult to travel to Altay, experts think that the area could become a great place for tourists. Altay has different interesting things to see in summer and winter, so it can attract (吸引) visitors all year. Maybe the people in charge of Altay should keep making their area better for tourists by improving their tourism and cultural attractions, as well as making the places for tourists to stay and visit better.
It is not the first time that a TV show has made a place more popular for tourists. In the last few years, other places, like Dali in Yunnan Province, have also become popular tourist destinations because of interesting TV dramas. By making tour products that include both natural beauty and cultural activities, Altay can make visiting even better and bring more people to see their special area.
47. What is Altay famous for now?
A. Its amazing natural beauty.
B. Its skiing sports in winter.
C. Its popular TV show.
D. Both A and B.
48. Before the TV show, why wasn’t Altay a popular place to visit?
A. Because it was far away and expensive to visit.
B. Because it was unknown to most people.
C. Because it didn’t have beautiful nature.
D. Because it was too cold in winter.
49. Which is NOT the advice to attract tourists according to the passage?
A. Make it easier to travel there.
B. Put more advertisements.
C. Lower the cost of hotels.
D. Improve tourism and cultural attractions.
50. What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph?
A. Altay is the only place that has been popularized by TV shows.
B. Dali has become popular because of the interesting TV drama.
C. TV dramas are as interesting as TV shows.
D. TV shows can help improve tourism.

Hu Ge, a popular actor from China, is going to play Florence Nightingale in a new movie. Some fans are
curious to see how he will bring Nightingale’s bravery and kindness to life. While other fans worry how their hero will take on such an unusual role because Nightingale was a real-life woman.
Florence Nightingale was the world’s first great nurse. She was born in a rich family in 1820, in Florence, Italy. She could have lived an easy, comfortable life. But she chose to work hard and care for the sick. Because she is one of the world’s greatest nurses, every year on her birthday, May 12, people celebrate International Nurses Day to remember the love and help that she gave to so many people.
When she was 24, she told her parents she wanted to be a nurse. But they didn’t like the idea. The family had lots of money, so they thought it would be better if she didn’t work. Nurses were not very well respected (尊敬) at that time. But Nightingale went on with her dream. She went to Germany to learn to be a nurse. There were no nursing schools at that time. She had to learn by practicing. During a war in 1854, Nightingale and a team of 38 nurses from England went to care for soldiers near Turkey. She made the hospitals much cleaner there. At night, she would look after the soldiers. She carried a lamp with her, and soldiers began to call her “The Lady with the Lamp”. In 1860, after the war, Nightingale opened the first nursing school. She also worked to make hospitals better and make rules for nurses.
Nightingale died in 1910 in London, England at the age of 90. Nightingale’s birthday became International Nurses Day in 1974.
55. When is International Nurses Day?

十、书面表达
Our school otters many colourful after-school activities and clubs. Among them, I like the DIY club best. All the club members share the same interest. In the club, we make, repair or decorate things ourselves together.
Once I tried to put up a shelf, but 1 didn’t read the instructions carefully. So I made a mistake. After I finished, I found one end of the shelf was higher than the other end. Books couldn’t stay on it.
To get better at DIY, I should be more patient and careful. It is also important to read books about it. I think doing DIY can not only bring us joy but also let us get more skills.。
