阅读理解

One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the guqin. one of the four arts 一 along with go, calligraphy(书法)and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and stands for China's solo musical instrument tradition.

At first, the guqin had only five strings(弦), meaning the five elements(元素)of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in Zhou Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.

Ambience was important in playing the guqin. Usually, it was practiced in a quiet setting and never for public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes (回音)from the mountains, until the musician felt he was at one with nature. Playing it m snow was also an enjoyable activity for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered wonderful for playing the guqin. Wang Wei (701-761), a highly talented man of the Tang Dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.

Guqin pieces are usually three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling lerse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.

Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters.

Bullet comments (弹幕) are a new form of comments (评论) which move across the screen while a video is playing in recent years. It's not only a way of communication but also serves as a bridge connecting people in the digital age. However, different people have different opinions about it. 

No matter what kind of video we're watching, as long as the bullet comments are on, it will turn into a comedy.

From Jack

With bullet comments on, we can see other people's thoughts, so we can have a different experience. Sometimes we can even find details of the video from them. It allows people to share their feelings. It turns the film-watching experience into an online social activity. I usually enjoy the movie and share my ideas with others in this way at the same time.

 From Mary

When there were no bullet comments before, I had more thoughts on the movie. Ever since there have been bullet comments, I need to turn them on when I watch videos because some comments have something to do with the story. However, I do have less thoughts on the movie itself with them on. That makes me quite bored. 

From Tom

If someone just keeps telling the story of the movie while you're watching it do you want to beat him at once? 

From Judy

"Have you {#blank#}1{#/blank#} your meal?" It is traditionally the first sentence coming out of our mind when Chinese greet each other. This can best show that food culture is important in our {#blank#}2{#/blank#} life. China has so many kinds of delicious food that it has a much longer history and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} food culture than many other places in the world. 

On the one {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, many famous people, known as epicures (美食家), made great contributions (贡献) to Chinese food culture. Su Dongpo born in the Song Dynasty had a gift not only for excellent writing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} also for unusual cooking. He created Dongpo Pork which {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a popular and highly praised dish. 

Another person is Yuan Mei, who also played a very important role in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Chinese food culture. In his book Sui Man Shi Dan, Yuan Mei talked about special cooking skills and dishes from both northern and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} areas. This book covers over 300 dishes popular in 18th-century China. 

On the other hand, people believe that each food has {#blank#}9{#/blank#} own characteristics (特性) of yin (阴) and yang (阳). The Chinese philosophy (哲学) of yin and yang influences food cooking and taste a lot. Yin foods are thin, cool and low in calories (卡路里). Yang foods are rich, spicy, warming and high in calories. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} food in hot water makes it more yin, while cooking with hot oil makes it more yang. As a result, different cooking {#blank#}11{#/blank#} can make cooking practice richer and may change food's characteristics of yin and yang.

Reading is very important. World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It encourages people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor(尊敬) great writers. 

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. On that day, millions of school children can buy books at a much lower price than usual in any bookstore in England. World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Wen Jiabao, the former Premier(前总理) of China, is a bookworm who does lots of reading every day. He called on people to do more reading. " Books cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading, " he said. 

Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What's more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English. 

Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of reading materials can help us to know more about the outside world. So it is necessary for us to spend time reading every day.

①It is widely known that China has the best high-speed railway network (网络) in the world. Now, the country is breaking its own speed(速度) record with CR450. 

②CR450 can travel at 400 kilometers per hour on average, with a top speed hitting 453km/h. Before this, the fastest high-speed train operating in a rail network in the world is China's CR400, which runs at 350 km/h on average. Once put into use, for example, the CR450 will shorten the travel time from Beijing to Shanghai to just about two and a half hours, which takes at least four and a half hours at the moment. 

③"The key is not to make the train run fast but to have it brake (刹车) accurately (精准地) and steadily (平稳地), " Zhao Hongwei of the China Academy of Railway Sciences told CCTV News. The standard is that the CR450 should have the same brake distance as the CR400, which is 6, 500 meters, even though it travels a lot faster. It can also start braking more quickly, taking just 1. 7 seconds compared to the 2. 3 seconds needed for the CR400. 

④The engineers did lots of tests with the brakes to make the system better. In the tests, the brake disc (制动盘) got really hot, reaching temperatures of up to 700℃. Its color changed from black to red. The changes were then recorded. All the data were saved in a smart system to make a digital model of the brake system for calculations (计算). 

⑤Besides having a better braking system, the CR450 has the same noise level as the CR400. Moreover, it is 12 percent lighter and 20 percent less energy-consuming (耗能的), according to CCTV News. With all its advantages, people are getting excited about the train's debut (首次亮相), which is planned to be within this year.
