Beijing Daxing Airport is Finally Open
Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), also known as Beijing New Airport,
is the biggest airport in the world. It is also the second international airport
of Beijing along with Beijing Capital International airport. The airport's design
is pioneering while its location on Daxing District (the southern suburbs of Beijing)
is perfect in order to serve the Chinese capital and the neighboring areas of Hebei
and Tianjin. The new mega-airport hub (大型枢纽机场) is expected to handle up to
45 million passengers per year by 2021 and reach an outstanding 100 million in the
future.
How big is Daxing Airport?
The gigantic Daxing Airport, with the impressive shape which has given it the
nickname ''Starfish'', has enormous dimensions. There are 4 runways at present (with
the hope of becoming 7 in the future) and a vast terminal building (航站楼) covering
a 700,000m² area while the ground transportation centre extends to 80,000m².
How many runways does Daxing Airport have?
For the time being, Daxing Airport has four runways and 79 airport stands. The
4 runways' size is impressive while the airport stands are suitable both for one
twin-aisle (双通道) and two single-aisle planes. Eventually, the airport will have
7 runways in total and will be able to serve about 620,000 flights every year.
Who designed Daxing Airport?
Daxing Airport's terminal building is the impressive outcome of the cooperation
between ADP Ingeniérie (ADPI) and the architecture team of Zaha Hadid (ZHA) who
tragically passed away in 2016. As a result, in August 2018, Hong Kong design studio
Lead 8 undertook the design of the new commercial terminal which is expected to meet
every passenger's needs.
How much did Daxing Airport cost?
The construction of the mega-airport, which is expected to eventually become
the busiest airport in the world, cost an unsurprisingly large amount. The Chinese
government is estimated to have paid about US $17.47 billion for this great project.
31. Daxing Airport is built _________________.
A. to serve Beijing, Hebei and Tianjin
B. only for the Chinese capital, Beijing
C. as the second biggest airport in the world
D. to handle up to 45 million passengers per year

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument
with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put
yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head
stubbornly--and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my
dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling
the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at
about lunch time, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you
in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt
about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such
short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the
bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and
placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is
very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the
assistant said.
“The artwork?” I was puzzled.
The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right
where I could enjoy it :on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that
moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
34. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?

A. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
B. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.
C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office.
D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.
36. Why did the author suddenly smile?
A. Because the dentist came at last.
B. Because the assistant kept comforting her.
C. Because she could relax in the chair,
D. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
37. What did the author learn from her experience most probably?

C. Put oneself in other’s shoes
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

The Legend (传说) of Kung Fu
According to a legend, in the fifth century, an Indian master taught some monks
at the Shaolin Temple a series of exercises, or forms, inspired by the movement of
animals. These forms became the basis of the style of fighting known as Kung Fu.
Over 16 centuries, the monks have used Kung Fu for self-defense and in war. With
it, they have won many battles against their enemies.
In Dengfeng today, ten kilometers from the Shaolin Temple, there are over 60
martial arts (武术) schools with more than 50,000 students. Students come to the
schools for a variety of reasons. Some hope to become movie stars. Others come to
learn skills that will ensure good jobs in the military or police force. A few are
sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work.
Master Hu Zhengsheng teaches at a small school in Dengfeng. Recently, he was
offered an important role in a Kung Fu movie. It could have been good publicity for
his school. However, he did not accept. He doesn't agree with how Kung Fu is often
shown in movies. He feels they show too much violence.
Unlike many large schools, which teach acrobatics (特技) and kickboxing, Hu
teaches his students traditional Kung Fu forms. He teaches them the way his master
— a Shaolin legend taught him. But attracting new students to this style of Kung
Fu has become a problem. Hu is afraid his art will soon die out. He has to remind
his students that Kung Fu was designed for fighting, not to entertain.
Hu’s students have little. They sleep in unheated rooms and train outside no
matter what the temperature. They hit trees with their bare hands and take turns
sitting on each other’s shoulders to build leg strength. Why such hardship? To
master Kung Fu, they must learn respect, and how to “eat bitterness”, a Mandarin
(普通话) expression meaning “to endure suffering”. The life of a Shaolin master,
Hu teaches, is not easy or attractive.
Master Hu is in a difficult position. For old traditions to survive, the young
must learn. Gradually, he had begun offering a few courses in kickboxing and the
acrobatic Kung Fu forms, hoping to attract new students. Then, maybe, he’ll be able
to convince them to learn Shaolin Kung Fu the traditional way.
38. What is true about Kung Fu?
A. It’s over 17 centuries old.
B. It was traditionally used for fighting.
C. It was introduced to China from Thailand.
D. It was originally designed to entertain people.
39. What is the purpose of the third paragraph?
A. To show why Hu teaches acrobatics and kickboxing.
B. To convince people that they can be rich and famous.
C. To explain the challenges traditional Kung Fu schools face.
D. To show how Hu’s ideas about Kung Fu are different from other teachers.
40. In the fifth paragraph, the underlined words “endure suffering” mean
_________.
A. stop the suffering
B. make someone suffer
C. survive the suffering
D. make the suffering worse
41. Why does the passage mention Hu Zhengsheng?
A. He is a Kung Fu student learning kickboxing.
B. He is a Kung Fu master preserving old traditions.
C. He is the man who introduced Kung Fu to China.
D. He is a famous actor in an exciting Kung Fu movie.

The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its wooden roof have been
largely damaged. The terrible accident causes a sudden sharp pain to people around
the world, “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via
a video game called Assassin's Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel
to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in
reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. In addition, with VR technology,
which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame
as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect
architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their
data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued
to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D
