Boasting a long history, China is home to many famous paintings, which are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.

Nymph (仙女) of the Luo RiverGu Kaizhi

The legend has it that Cao Zhi fell in love with the governor's daughter. However, she married his brother and the prince became upset. Later, he wrote an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.

Court Ladies Adorning (装饰) Their Hair with FlowersZhou Fang

During the Tang Dynasty, the genre (体裁) of "beautiful women painting" enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as if they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.

Along the River During the Qingming FestivalZhang Zeduan

Zhang Zeduan depicted (描述) the landscape in his work. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.

A Thousand Li of Rivers and MountainsWang Ximeng

Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history.

Nowadays, we have kinds of technologies to protect us from different disasters(灾难). We even know where and when some disasters, like the typhoon, come. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters.

The drone(无人机)is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and other important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue teams to get in. They can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first.

Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status.

 Social media is also a place for up-to-the-minute news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, livestreaming(直播)helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021.

Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves.

阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。

Hey young games! Have you 1 the brand new game that everyone is talking about? It's called Black Myth: Wukong, and it's become incredibly popular! On the day it 2 , more than 

1.6 million people were playing it online. That's a lot more than the number of players for other famous games like Counter- Strike, Dota 2, and Elden Ring.

What makes this game 3 is its celebration of Chinese culture and creativity. You might be4 with Dota 2 and its/ version,5 Dota. They have a magic al world with heroes like the Monkey King, but most of the other heroes come from old stories from Europe. The same goes for Elden Ring, where the characters are mostly inspired by 6 stories.

However, things started to 7 with a game called Honor of Kings. Many of its heroes are based on Chinese history and legends. Now, with Black Myth: Wukong, the excitement is even greater. It's the firstAAA game, to feature Chinese legends. This is really exciting for games who love Chinese mythology.

The hero of the game is Wukong, the Monkey King, who comes from one of China's four great classic 8 , Journey to the West. This game cleverly connects traditional culture with modern gaming ideas.

Creating a game like Black Myth: Wukong takes a lot of time and money. But it's all 9 it because by the end of the release day, over 3 million copies had been sold on a platform called Steam. Some people might think it's 10 to make money quickly with games like these, but the success of Black Myth: Wukong shows that there is a big interest in Chinese legends in video games. And as time goes on, we can expect to see even more games like this in the future.
