B
Resting her phone on a stand and making the light more suitable,
49-year-old Lyu Min started her livestreaming session—her daily job
during the COVID-19 outbreak. Dressed in a qipao, a traditional
Chinese dress, Lyu started the livestreaming session from her workshop at 10 in
the morning, sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft (手工
艺) lovers. Lyu, an inheritor (继承人) of the art of making Chinese knots, which
is listed as an intangible (非物质) cultural heritage, became a livestreaming host.
“Though the sales of Chinese knots have dropped a lot, I’m still confident
that I can get out of the trouble brought by the outbreak. I can make full use of
this period to improve my skills and develop this traditional handicraft online,”
she said. Lyu is quite new to the world of livestreaming, having bought all the
necessary equipment ( 设 备 ) after following her friends advice. She practises
livestreaming every day and records a large number of educational videos. As
face-to-face interaction is still impractical for many, even as the outbreak has
been largely brought under control in China, she thinks livestreaming classes can
meet more Chinese knot lovers’ needs to learn the handicraft.
She has integrated the anti-epidemic spirit into her works, expressing the
determination (决 心) and confidence of the Chinese people to win against the
COVID-19. “I love Wuhan, where I showed my works in 2019. Chinese knots are popular
among many local people, and I made lots of friends there,” Lyu said. She designed
a special Chinese knot to express her thanks to the medics who were sent to support
Wuhan several months ago.
She has more than 200 followers right now. There are more and more Chinese knot
lovers on her online platform. She is using a length of colored string and
determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive online and help
more people understand the culture.
34. The underlined word “livestreaming” in Paragraph 1 is close to “_______”.
A. sending out while happening
B. equipment for recording videos
C. sending out after recording
D. equipment for making handicrafts
35. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Lyu Min advised her friends to livestream traditional handicraft online.
B. Lyu Min’s friends provided the necessary equipment for her to livestream.
C. Chinese knots sell very well in Lyu Min’s workshop through the Internet.
D. More Chinese knot lovers want to learn the handicraft because of Lyu Min.
36. What does Lyu Min think of the future of Chinese knots?
A. Unexpected.
B. Hopeful.
C. Difficult.
D. Doubtful.
37. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Having online classes during the outbreak
B. Introducing an intangible cultural heritage

D. Expressing thanks to the doctors and nurses
C
Do you like Physics or Chemistry? Matter (物质) is always changing, either
physically or chemically. If a material goes through a physical change, it
is still the same material. During a chemical change, one kind of matter
changes into another completely different kind of matter. For example, when
we burn wood or cook fish, materials change. People use chemistry every day
in the kitchen. The food we eat has many different natural chemicals. Many of the
chemicals in food are necessary parts of a healthy diet.
Much of the food we eat has been changed in some way from its original form.
The changes that food undergoes may be chemical or physical. If a change does not
affect the food’s chemical composition, we call it a physical change. For example,
melted (溶解的) cheese has gone through a physical change. It gets softer when it
is heated but it is still the same type of material. Any change that changes the
chemicals in the food is a chemical change. Bread contains carbohydrates, which
are chemicals made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When bread is baked (烘
焙), the carbohydrates break down into black carbon and water. The carbon gives
the bread a dark color and a crunchy texture (质地). The water goes into the air.
To get a closer look at the chemistry of baking, let’s watch how a carrot cake
is made. The main steps of baking any cake are mixing the ingredients (材料) and
baking them together. In the course of making cakes, the dry ingredients are mixed
first. They are flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder and spices. Flour
gives the cake structure. Sugar helps to make it sweet. Salt strengthens the cake
batter. Baking powder and baking soda make the cake rise.
Next, the carrots may be added to the cake. These help give the carrot cake
its flavor, texture, and color. The other ingredients in the carrot cake are oil
and eggs. The oil makes the cake tender and moist. Eggs serve two purposes—the
whites help the cake to rise, while the yolks (蛋黄) give it a creamy texture. All
of these ingredients form a mixture. This mixture can be separated into its different
components (成分) although it is very difficult. Once the cake mixture is formed,
it’s poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven. The heat from the oven has caused
chemical changes to take place. The cake is finished and the ingredients cannot
be separated.
38. The material doesn’t change when we _______.
A. melt ice cream
B. burn paper
C. bake apple pies
D.
cook
beef
39. What’s the correct order of baking a carrot cake in the passage?
a. Carrots, oil and eggs are added.
b. The dry ingredients are mixed.
