阅读理解

   Some people in the world are still living with hunger. As many as 815 million people in the world didn't have enough food in 2016.

   Heifer international wants to end world hunger. It began in 1930 when an American farmer went to Spain to help people in need. These people often went hungry in the war. That framer, Dan West, tried to use milk to feed these hungry people. And there was a continuous(持续的)need to feed people. This got him to think that what they needed was not a cup, but a cow.

   In 1939, West went back to Indiana and decided to find ways to stop hunger. He thought about giving animals to the hungry people as a gift. Then they can feed and sell the animals for money. Only then could there be an end to hunger.

   On Heifer international's website (https://www.heifer.org), you will see a lot of animals you can buy to help those in need. But not just cows, goats, and pigs are for sale. You can also buy fish, or even honeybees! More importantly, you are not just buying an animal for one person. You are buying what can help at least 1000 families. Each gift could make a continuous change.

   But Heifer International's work doesn't end there. They will work with communities(社区) until they don't need outside help. If everyone works together(一起), maybe hunger really can end.

(1)、When did Heifer International begin its work to end world hunger?
A、In 1930 B、In 1939 C、In 2006 D、In 2015
(2)、The under lined word "then" in paragraph 3 refers to the time ___________.
A、when West went back to Indiana B、when West used milk to feed the people C、when people live with animals D、when people feed animals to make money
(3)、Which of the following statements is true?
A、Dan West thought that there was no way to end hunger. B、People may bring an end to hunger by working together. C、People can buy any animal on Heifer International's website. D、Buying animals on the website can't help the hungry families.
(4)、The passage is mainly about _______.
A、what communities can do to end hunger B、where Dan West built Heifer International C、why many people are still living with hunger D、how Heifer International works to end hunger

Cai Zongqi is a teacher from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Having lived in the United States for nearly 40 years, he has spent around 30 years sharing his understanding of Chinese literature (文学) 1 his students.

In 2007, his book How to Read Chinese Poetrycame out. 2 book includes 143 famous Chinese poems. Cai said he couldn't find good teaching materials to perfectly explain 3 Chinese poems meant. With the help of the book, American students can understand Chinese poetry 4 than before.

The book 5 is so popular has been reprinted (再次印刷) time and again. Encouraged by this, Cai went on to write some more 6 including How to Read Chinese Prose (散文) .

Cai believes that reading Chinese poetry may help readers to look at 7 life from a new point of view and live a better life. Cai started the How to Read Chinese Poetry podcast (播客) in 2022 8 the beauty of Chinese poetry and literature to more people around the world. In the podcast, poems 9 aloud in English and Chinese with classical Chinese music in the background.

 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

 What comes to your mind when you think of kung fu? Maybe the image of Shaolin monks(和尚) posing with a serious look {#blank#}1{#/blank#}their eyes. But does it really present the meaning of kung fu?

 Laurence, J. Brahm, a documentary filmmaker from the United States, explored this question in Searching for Kung Fu(《寻找功夫》). In the movie, Brahm {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ( travel) to cities in China and the US in search of the value of kung fu. 

 Brahm himself is a kung fu {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ( love) who has been practicing the art for more than 40 years. For him, it is more than a pastime. Ages ago, Brahm was unable {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( use) one of his legs for two years and had to walk with a cane(拐杖). But by {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( practise) martial arts(武术), he was able to recover step by step. Now, kung fu has become a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( day) activity for him and also the way he begins the day. 

 Still, there are other deep meanings in the practice. Nonviolence(非暴力) is one value, which{#blank#}7{#/blank#} ( show) both in the name and practice of kung fu. The Chinese character Wu 武 has two parts-"ge戈", meaning"to fight", and"zhi 止", meaning"to stop". So, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} meaning of kung fu in Chinese is the art of stopping fighting, the art of nonviolence. Kung fu artists always greet people with baoquan(抱拳). This lets each person know that there are no hidden weapons(武器) and shown trust. 

"The {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( tradition) values of kung fu, actually, are in the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( mind) of all Chinese people, " Brahm told Xinhua.
