Which is the most significant classical Chinese painting? According to Paul Denlinger, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} visited China many times when young, it should be Along the River During the Qingming Festival. This {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (create) dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty.

    This painting is important {#blank#}3{#/blank#} several reasons. First, up until this time, almost all Chinese paintings are landscapes, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (contain) no or only a few images of people. Second, this is the first scroll (卷轴) painting {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (describe) both Chinese urban and suburban life during the period in the capital, Bianjing, Third, the painting is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (high) detailed and features shops of all kinds and different economic activities in and out of the city. People are able to see the Chinese technology of the time, which helps them {#blank#}7{#/blank#} great deal in understanding {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the Chinese lived.

    The Beijing Palace Museum keeps the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (origin) Song painting and one of its famous copies——the Qing version {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hold) in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

    China reached a milestone in space exploration on January 3, 2019. Chang'e-4 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (successful) landed on the far side of the moon's surface.

    This is the first time in history{#blank#}2{#/blank#} any country has performed a soft landing on the back of the moon. It is also a huge win for Chinese scientists who have been planning out this work for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (year).

    Shortly after the lander's arrival, it sent back a photo of the Yutu rover (月球车) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (roll) slowly across the moon's dusty surface. As{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (expect), the lander will conduct a number of challenging tasks. It will observe the low-gravity environment and explore {#blank#}6{#/blank#} there is water or other resources. Later, soil samples{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (collect) and returned to the earth. Scientists believe that the back of the moon is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (ancient) than the front, so the soil age is valuable for studying the early history of the moon.

    Since the far side of the moon is quiet and free {#blank#}9{#/blank#} electromagnetic interference (干扰) from the earth, it's a perfect place to research the space environment. Everything {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (appear) to be working smoothly, and we can expect plenty of moon news out of China in the near future.

    At 3:42 a.m., everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! Eleven kilometres {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (direct) below the city, the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (great) earthquake of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is more than two hundred kilometres away. One-third of the nation {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (feel) it. A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses, roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ruins. The suffering of the people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) extreme. Two-thirds of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (they) died or were injured during the earthquake. Thousands of families were killed and many {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (child) were left without parents. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000. Then, later that afternoon, another big quake shook Tangshan. More buildings fell down. Water, food, and electricity were hard {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (get). People began to wonder {#blank#}10{#/blank#} long the disaster would last.

    You may not know the name John Smith Pemberton, but you must know the name of his{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(invent):Coca-Cola.

    Pemberton was a US chemist. When he was wounded in the Civil War, lie used medicine to ease the pain and gradually got{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (addict) to it. To light the addiction, he created his own drink by{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (use) leaves of coca and nuts of kola. He named{#blank#}4{#/blank#}," Pemberton's French Wine Coca". In the same year, the local government passed a ban on alcohol. Pemberton had to change the recipe to remove the alcohol.

    In 1886, Pemberton invited Willis Venable to help him perfect his new recipe. They used carbonated water and finally invented a new drink. It had no alcohol{#blank#}5{#/blank#}could still ease pain and clear the mind. Pemberton decided to sell it{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a drink rather than a medicine. In 1887, Pemberton sold part of the stock of his company to As a Candler,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}later created the Coca-Cola Company.

    Nowadays. Coca-Cola has become one of the most popular{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(drink) in the world. The company only offers semi-finished products to partners and won't sell the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(origin) ingredients (成分).Its secret recipe was kept in the Sun Trust Bank in Atlanta for 86 years until the end of 2011. Since then, it{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(keep) in the World of Coca-Cola center in Atlanta.
