China’s Grand Canal
For centuries, the power of Chinese emperors rose and fell with their control of the
Grand Canal. Today, this waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is still the longest man-
made river in the world. Importantly, the Grand Canal continues to provide a vital cultural
and economic link for modern China.
The original canal system began around the year 605. China’s Emperor Yang realized
that he needed a better way to feed his army. Specifically, he needed a way to move food
quickly from China’s southern rice-growing region to the country’s north. So, the emperor
试卷第4页，共12页
ordered the construction of the first section of the Grand Canal, connecting existing canals,
lakes, and rivers. An estimated one million people — mostly farmers — worked on the
construction, which took six years.
In addition to moving rice around China, the Grand Canal was an important cultural
conduit. Soldiers, merchants, and artists transported ideas, regional foods, and cultural
practices from one part of China to another. According to legend, this is how Beijing acquired
two of its best-known trademarks. Peking duck, a dish from Shandong Province, and the
Peking opera, from Anhui and Hubei regions, were both brought north via the canal.
For more than a thousand years, goods have been transported along the Grand Canal.
Even today, the country’s watery highway plays an important economic role in China. Boats
continue to carry tons of coal, food, and other goods to points between Hangzhou and Jining
— now the northernmost city the canal reaches. In addition, local governments — eager to
increase tourism and real estate development — are beautifying areas along the canal.
This development comes at a price, though. In Yangzhou, the city has torn down almost
all of the older canal-side buildings. Farther south in the cities of Zhenjiang, Wuxi, and
Hangzhou, the situation is similar.
In 2014, the historic Grand Canal was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site (
联合国教
科文组织世界遗产地
). It is hoped that the Grand Canal — one of the world’s great
engineering achievements — will continue to link north and south China for centuries to
come.
28
．
Why was the Grand Canal first built?
A
．
To enable more people to visit rice-growing parts of China.
B
．
To let the army move quickly from the north to the south.
C
．
To transport food from the southern part of China to the north.
D
．
To develop the building skills of the farmers all over China.

．
Conversation. C
．
Conclusion. D

Contribution.
30
．
According to the passage, why has the Grand Canal been important for China?
A
．
Because it’s the world’s longest man-made river.
B
．
Because it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
C
．
Because it is a watery highway for lots of boats.
D
．
Because it’s economically linked the north and south.

In the next few days, Mary spent almost all her time in the garden. The fresh air from the
moor(
沼泽
) made her hungry, and she was becoming stronger and healthier. One day she
noticed the robin (
知更鸟
) again. He was on top of a wall; singing to her. “Good morning!
Isn’t this fun! Come this way!”, he seemed to say, as he hopped (
跳跃
) along the wall. Mary
began to laugh as she danced along beside him. “I know the secret garden’s on the other side
of this wall!” she thought excitedly. “And the robin lives there! But where’s the door?”
That evening she asked Martha to stay and talk to her beside the fire after supper. They
could hear the wind blowing round the old house, but the room was warm and comfortable.
Mary only had one idea in her head. “Tell me about the garden,” she said.
“Well, all right then, Miss, but we aren’t supposed to talk about it, you know. It was
’s favourite garden, and she and Mt. Craven used to take care of it themselves.
They spent hours there, reading and talking. They were very happy: They used the branch (
树
枝
) of an old tree as a seat. But one day when she was sitting on the branch, it broke and she
fell. She was very badly hurt and the next day she died. That’s why he hates the garden so
much, and won’t let anyone go in there.”
“How sad!” said Mary. “Poor Mr. Craven!” It was the second time that she had ever felt
sorry for anyone.
Just then, as she was listening to the wind outside, she heard another noise, in the house.
“Can you hear a child crying?” She asked Martha.
Martha looked confused. “Er - no,” she replied. “No, I think…it must be the wind.”
But at that moment, the wind blew open their door and they heard the crying very
clearly.
“I told you!” cried Mary.
At once Martha shut the door. “It was the wind,” she repeated: But she did not speak in
her usual natural way, and Mary did not believe her.
(adapted from The Secret Garden)

The latest sports craze is not even a sport. According to a recent article, “e-sports” are
attracting a large number of audiences.
In e-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2
and Ovenvatch. Fans fill arenas (
竞技场
) to watch the action live on huge television screens.
The games have gone way past kids playing against each other while sitting on a sofa at
home. The International, a major competition for players of Dota 2, awarded $24 million in
prizes, with the winner taking home almost $11 million. A recent e-sports competition
attracted more than 80,000 fans to the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of computer games. I know that some games can
be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen
shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing
real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.
And please don’t tell me that competitive gaming is a real sport because it requires hand-
eye coordination(
协调
). According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is “an
activity involving physical effort and skill”. I don’t think anyone works up much of a sweat
(
汗水
) playing video games.
Too often, regular sports send kids a kind of message. Competition starts early, when lots
of kids are not ready for the ups and downs of games. Trails and travel teams come next,
giving too many kids the message they are “not good” at sports. So lots of kids give up sports
and start playing more video games.
Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more
about the advantages of real sports.

六、阅读填表
Have you heard of the word “hygge”(
小确幸
)? It’s Danish, representing a lifestyle
practiced by Danish people.
There is no English word for the exact meaning of “hygge”, according to Oxford
Dictionaries. It might be translated to “comfort” in English, but it is more than that.
Enjoying beautiful music or having a movie night is hygge. Lighting candles or making
real tea in china cups—that’s hygge too. There’s nothing more hygge than sitting around a
table with your family or friends, discussing the big and small things in life. Hygge pays
attention to making ordinary daily activities special or meaningful, according to the BBC
．
For Danish people, hygge is a way of fighting the cold winter, although it doesn’t have
to be a winter—only thing. In Denmark, there can be up to 17 hours of darkness per day in
winter, and the average temperature is around 0℃, according to the BBC
．
As a result, people
spend more time indoors and relax themselves.
Now the idea of hygge is traveling abroad and becoming fashionable in some other
countries too. In the United Kingdom and the United States, there are more and more hygge-
themed cookbooks and lifestyle guides, as well as Danish restaurants, cafes and bars.
“The rest of the world seems to be slowly waking up to what Danes (
丹麦人
) have been
wise to for ages,” Helen Russell, author of The Year of Living Danishly, told the BBC
