On June 15th，2012，millions of people watched as 33yearold Nik Wallenda walked across one of the world's greatest waterfalls on a tightrope（钢丝）．What made the 25－minute walk that was televised live and watched by over 13 million people worldwide even more amazing，is that it was done over the Niagara Falls－An action that had never been attempted before． Even though Nik was wearing a harness（保护带），a safety measure provided by ABC，the television network that broadcast the event，his action to keep his balance against the strong winds made for some heart－stopping（令人担忧的） moments for the audience． Nik，however，never slowed down for even one moment．Wearing special shoes made by his mother，he remained totally focused on the job at hand．It was only when he got to the last stretch near Canada's Table Rock that he knelt down on one knee and finally broke into a smile．Waving and blowing kisses to the cheering audience，he knew he had accomplished a great task，which most people had thought impossible． While he described the whole experience as peaceful and relaxing，Nik said his biggest challenges came from a totally unexpected source－his 40 pound balancing pole．The balancing pole was so heavy that he could hardly carry it on the tightrope． One would think that now that Nik has realized his lifelong dream he would be ready to hang up his “balancing pole”．However，the adventurer who already has seven Guinness World Records under his belt，is just getting started－Next up? A 5，000－foot tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon．While the one across the Niagara Falls took years of planning because he had to convince the US and Canadian officials，this one should happen in the very near future．That's because，the Florida resident has already been granted（授予） a permit by the Canyon officials． 1.Why did so many people fix their attention on the event? A．Because it was done by Nik Wallenda． B．Because nobody had done it there before． C．Because it was broadcast live by ABC． D．Because it was impossible to do the event． 2.What made the audience hold their breath during Nik's performance? A．How Nik managed to cross the Niagara Falls with safety measure． B．What Nik would do when he lost his balance on the tightrope． C．How Nik kept his balance against the strong winds． D．How long Nik will take to finish the event． 3.What was the greatest difficulty for him to face in Nik view? A．The supplied tightrope． B．The safety belt． C．The balancing pole． D．The audience's noise． 4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Nik will go on with his dream． B．Nik's life dream is changing． C．Permission of governments is important． D．The Grand Canyon is a dream for Nik．

The kindly “Chinese Fortune Grandpa” wearing Han Chinese clothing and holding a fortune bag debuted （亮相） at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing on the day after Christmas．The final image of the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design competition against “Santa Claus”，according to a report by Guangming Daily． Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights，Christmas songs，Christmas trees，and the images of “Santa Claus”in recent days．As a matter of fact，foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people，particularly the youth．“Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings，”said noted writer Feng Jicai．More and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentine's Day and Christmas．However，many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines（小糖人），and have never heard suona music．Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival，Tomb Sweeping Day，and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared．Under such circum-stances，even the “Chinese Fortune Grandpa” is unlikely to defeat “Santa Claus”． However，it is not a bad thing to some extent．It constantly reminds people to restore the “true face” of traditional festivals．China has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day，Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays，which brings more paid leaves to the public，and helps to awake the public awareness of traditional festivals． In modern society，festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largely depends on their understandings and usages by people．Compared with foreign festivals，traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior （次于） in cultural meanings，but lack of fashion sought by modern people．If people do not appreciate the historical culture contained by traditional festivals，and only take pleasure-seeking as the most important，the significance of traditional festivals will fade away and the inheritance （继承） of fine traditional culture will be cut off．
1.The second paragraph implies that______________________． A．traditional festivals should co-exist with foreign festivals B．all the Chinese festivals are disappearing in the near future C．western festivals are constantly impacting on our festivals D．the Chinese people have the public awareness of traditional festivals 2.We can learn from the passage that______________． A．an image designed by the Chinese people will be displayed B．the Chinese gift-giver was intended to symbolize traditional culture C．many foreigners know nothing about Chinese festivals D．the Chinese are beginning to exchange gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival 3.Many Chinese youth dislike traditional festivals because they think______________． A．traditional festivals are out of fashion now B．the historical culture is more difficult to understand C．western festivals contain more cultural meanings D．the inheritance will cut off their contact with western festivals 4.What would be the best title of the passage? A．Gone are Chinese Traditional Festivals B．True Face of Chinese Traditional Culture C．Foreign Festivals Popular with Chinese D．Chinese Fortune Grandpa VS．Santa Claus

The breaking news of Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday evening soon aroused public curiosity of the 57yearold Chinese writer: Why was it him that was favored by the Swedish Academy? Born in 1955 into a rural family，Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager．He joined the military and devoted himself to writing after the Cultural Revolution （1966－1976）． Less than half an hour after the announcement，Mo's works turned to soldout status at China's major online book sellers．One lucky buyer wrote in an online comment: “Rushed to purchase，but to my shame，I have not read any of his novels．” Although Mo was entitled one of the top domestic literature awards before the Nobel Prize，he is not the most popular novelist in China，in either the book market or in reputation． Mo's novel “Big Breasts & Wide Hips，” translated by Howard Goldblatt，tells a story of a mother who struggled and suffered hardship and intertwined fates with Chinese people in the 20th century．His more recent work “Frog” more directly criticized China's onechild family policy，which helped control the country's population explosion but also brought tragedies to rural residents in the past 60 years． “I think the reason why I could win the prize is because my works present lives with unique Chinese characteristics，and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of common human beings，which is above differences of nations and races，” Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists．Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown，such as clay sculpture，paper cuts，traditional new yearpaintings，have inspired and influenced his novels． With more Chinese writers like Mo，the world could learn a more real China．Perhaps，this is another reason for the Swedish Academy's choice． 1.What can we conclude from the second paragraph? A．Mo's life experiences． B．Mo's family life． C．Mo devoted himself to writing． D．Mo had a gift for writing． 2.What can we infer from the passage? A．Mo didn't got any national awards before he won the Nobel Prize． B．Mo was the top novelist in China before he won the Nobel Prize． C．Mo's novels have attracted many people to read． D．Mo's novels are all based on his daily life． 3.Which of the following have no effect on Mo's novels according to the passage? A．Clay sculpture． B．Paper cuts． C．Folk arts． D．Beijing opera． 4.According to the passage，we know that________． A．Big Breasts & Wide Hips' leading role is one happy mother B．Big Breasts & Wide Hips criticized China's onechild family policy C．Frog came out earlier than Big Breasts & Wide Hips D．Frog shows benefit as well as shortcoming of one China's policy
