When Xiong Chuanfa, a 34-year-old man, blew a lively tiger out of sugar in a few minutes, kids looked at him in surprise, thinking he was a magician.

Xiong has blown sugar figurines(糖人) for twenty years. Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to start his magic show. He heats the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes—a rabbit, a monkey, and even Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

People, especially little kids, are interested in his skills. To draw young people closer to the art, he also stops in the universities. Many college students have been interested in the art, waiting in line for trying to do this by themselves. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn’t help having a try. He found it difficult to make it. Thanks to Xiong’s help, Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.

Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I can’t believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be brought to more places in the world.”

This art has been passed down for four generations (代) in Xiong’s family. His 6-year-old son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child. “We will keep the skill and pass on the intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产),” says Xiong.

34. From the passage we know that Xiong Chuanfa ________.

A. is a foreign magician

B. blows sugar into different balls

C. has blown sugar figurines since he was fourteen

D. works in a college to teach students Chinese traditional culture

35. According to Simon’s words, we can infer that he will most probably ________.

A. give up learning in China B. offer Xiong a helping hand in class

C. learn more about Chinese culture D. stop blowing sugar figurines

36. How does Xiong Chuanfa keep the skill of blowing sugar figurines and pass it on?

A. By learning the art in a university. B. By giving sugar figurines to young people.

C. By helping foreigners try this skill. D. By teaching his kid the skill at a young age.

C

①It’s hard to turn down bananas. They are delicious and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.

②One reason for this is climate change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected information from 27 countries. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield (平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare (每公顷）.

③However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage (优势) will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out. Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If the temperature gets too high, they will stop growing.

④Diseases are also a danger to bananas. Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings(茎段) rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.

⑤One serious disease is called Panama. It is caused by fungus (真菌) in the soil. If the disease Panama is found in a banana plantation, people can’t grow bananas in it for 30 years. Scientists haven’t found a way to deal with this disease.

37. What might happen if the temperature keeps going higher?

A. More countries will start to grow bananas.

B. Bananas will not be able to grow any more.

C. Bananas will grow better in most countries.

D. Bananas won’t be as delicious as before.

38. What does the underlined word “plantation” mean in Chinese?

A. 树干 B. 根茎 C. 幼苗 D. 种植园

39. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

A.  B.  C.  D.

40. The passage mainly talks about ________.

A. the difficulties of growing bananas B. the perfect condition of growing bananas

C. the reasons for the disappearance of bananas D. the advice on growing bananas

For middle and primary school students, being able to cook will become a must. A new curriculum standard(课程标准) for labor(劳动) education recently came out.

In the past year, she has trained her daughters to do household chores and make simple dishes for the family. “By doing housework, their hand-eye coordination(协调), time management and organization skills can be trained and it’s also good to help them relax”, said Liu.
