阅读短文,下列问题

    Lately, people have entered the forests where chimpanzees (黑猩猩) live. The chimpanzees have been getting sick because of people's diseases. In addition, people are hunting chimpanzees. Their number is becoming smaller and smaller.

Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of Africa. They eat many kinds of food, from plant leaves and seeds to insects and even other small animals. Chimpanzees' favourite food is fruit.

    Chimpanzees are very clever and they can use tools well. They can catch bugs using sticks, and break nuts using rocks.

    The world's forests are much smaller than they were before. Roads were built in deep forests, so people start to enter forests where chimpanzees live. That may lead to many problems. One problem for chimpanzees is that they can easily catch people's diseases and die. Chimpanzees are much closer to people than monkeys.

As it's easier for people to enter forests, they hunt more often. Young chimpanzees are caught to be pets or for scientific researches. The young ones are taken away from the forests, and the adults are killed. Chimpanzees are likely to disappear in the future.

(1)、Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of ________.  

A、Africa B、Asia C、Europe D、America 
(2)、Chimpanzees may feed on the following EXCEYPT_________.

A、insects B、bugs C、lions D、fruit       
(3)、Chimpanzees can break nuts using ________.

A、sticks B、rocks C、their teeth D、glass       
(4)、The underlined word “That”refers to the fact that _________.          

A、People hunt for chimpanzees B、Chimpanzees get sick more easily C、People enter the forests where chimpanzees live D、Chimpanzees are much closer to people than monkeys.
(5)、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?    

A、Chimpanzees can easily catch people's diseases and die. B、Young chimpanzees are taken away from the forests. C、Young chimpanzees are caught to be pets or for scientific researches. D、Chimpanzees have already disappeared.

    Around the world, there are about 7,000 National Parks. Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.

    The National Parks in England are called “England's Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.

    Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.

    ▲   ? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.

Every month, Zhang Lingling holds a party with her friends in a KTV room. At the party, all the people wear hanfu—a type of dress worn by the ancient Han people—and sing songs that are accompanied (伴奏) by traditional instruments or inspired by ancient poems.

"I'm really interested in clothes and songs based on traditional culture. I'm not buying the items just because they are Chinese—they just satisfy my aesthetic (审美的) needs," she told China Daily.

Like Zhang, there are many young people who have a passion for traditional Chinese culture. Looking for the reason behind this fascination with traditional culture, a professor Ji Fangfang said it's because traditional culture is the best way for young people to distinguish (区分) their national identity. They want to tell the world who they are. 

"Younger people know the world well through the Internet, and they need to express their uniqueness," Ji said.

While some prefer inheriting (传承) traditional Chinese culture, others are putting twists on it. Pop culture designer Yu Yang is one of them. When he made a series of products featuring the ancient God of Fortune, the god wore fashionable Chinese shoes and a cap, and had a microphone in his hand. "Pop culture is a universal language. I hoped more people would accept and love my work and know Chinese culture through my art pieces," he said in an interview.

By drawing pictures on a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea art, has become popular recently. Chang Zhifeng, an inheritor(传承人) of chabaixi, noticed from a TV show that many people showed great interest in this art. 

Chabaixi can create different pictures such as bum boos and mountains. There are many steps, from grinding(磨碎) tea, pouring boil cd water, stirring(搅拌) the mixture, to finally drawing the pictures. After seven times of pouring water and stirring, there will be enough dark foam(泡沫). Then we can draw pictures on it with clear water and a stick. The process of drawing, or dlancha, must be finished in 20 minutes before the foam disappears. 

"Chabaixi is one of the many forms of tea art in China. It becomes popular not only because it is a special Chinese tradition, but also because it gives us a window to see people's lifestyle in the Song Dynasty." Zhang said. 

Years ago, this special art was close to disappearing completely. Zhang Zhifeng started researching the origins(起源) of chabaixi in the 1980 s and brought the art back in 2009 after scars of sting and practicing. Chang thought it was really meaningful. In 2017, this art was listed as part of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产). 

"This art is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it disappear. It is our duty to pass it on," Zhang said.

What kind of story is most exciting? What story keeps you reading until the very end? The answer may be the detective (侦探) story.

Detective stories are among the most {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, read and discussed stories in the world. They can be novels, animation (动画) and movies. When we start reading a detective story, we always wish to find out the truth {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we reach the end. But it can be quite difficult to solve the problem as quickly as the detective does. Paying attention to the following elements (元素) may be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to find the truth.

Motivation—Motive is the reason behind a crime. Does this person have a motive? This is a question always asked by detectives. To answer that, detectives would look into one's personal {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and past experience. People {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a motive can be trusted.

Suspect—Suspects are those who may have done the crime. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} there is more than one suspect in a case. Detectives have to find out the real {#blank#}7{#/blank#} among them.

Clue—Clues are the most important things in finding out the truth. Clues can be very small and hard {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, such as hair, mud or a piece of paper from a diary.

Alibi—An alibi is a special kind of evidence (证据). It means you are not being at the crime scene when the crime took place. For example, if you are having dinner with a friend when the crime happens, your {#blank#}9{#/blank#} words are your alibi. However, an alibi can not always be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. Your friend may have made up a story to protect you.

Detective stories are like puzzles. Following the elements of motive, suspect, alibi and clue can help us see what the detective see and find out the truth in the end.

Shopping is funny and also makes your money less, but wise customers save money while enjoying shopping. How? Try to ask yourself some questions before buying. Now, let's learn to shop wisely to cut down the shopping cost.

★How to get it cheaper?

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. For example, when you want a dress in a shop , you can compare it with one in other shops. Or, you can look for a same or a similar one on the Internet , at least in three shops. In this way , you may find that you can get something at a much lower price. 

★Are things on sale really good?

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. They think the prices of them are not high, so they won't cost too much. Therefore , they go back home with many bags of clothes , shoes, and so on. They feel happy and are satisfied(满意的) with their rooms full of new things.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.
