Xiuhtezcatl points out that climate change is a serious problem. “People can feel very helpless about climate
change, like there is nothing they can do.” he says. But that is not true. “Climate change 5 by humans.”
Xiuhtezcatl says. “And we can try to solve it.”

hop songs about the environment. Xiuhtezcatl believes that if many people change their habits, we 10 on a

No one expected that Baduanjin would become popular among young Chinese people.
In the past couple of years, an online teaching video of Baduanjin, a form of Qigong, has been played for
more than 10 million times. “I have been doing Baduanjin for about four months. 1 I like Baduanjin very
much because it gives me a much healthier lifestyle,” a young man commented (评论).
Baduanjin is one of the oldest health and fitness methods in China, first created over 800 years ago during
the Song Dynasty. Its name is made up of two parts, namely “baduan” and “jin”. The first part refers to eight
3 / 7
学科网（北京）股份有限公司separate movements. 2 These movements are slow, smooth and easy to learn.
Compared to sports such as ball games or swimming, Baduanjin is slow and usually played with peaceful
music, so it used to be considered as a sport for the elders.
3 It helps kill their neck and back pain after long working hours while not requiring much effort, time or
space.
Sun Yuxuan, a college student learning martial arts, has also noticed the rising popularity of Baduanjin. The
21-year-old girl has been teaching other students to practise for over three years. They started with 20 members in
2019 and the group has 45 members now. 4 “I didn’t expect that it could attract so many young people. I guess
that’s because they receive real benefits from the sport,” she said.
In fact, Baduanjin’s popularity among young people is not just a trend. 5 By practising Baduanjin,
young people not only keep their bodies healthy but also learn about the wisdom of ancient Chinese health culture.
It’s a wonderful way to connect the past and the present, and it will surely continue to be loved by more young
people in the future.
A．It helps me sleep better and get stronger.
B．Every member in the group is very active.
C．Baduanjin has been spread worldwide by young Chinese people.
D．It shows that traditional Chinese culture can fit modern life well.
E．And the second part refers to the stretch (舒展) and grace of the movements.
F．Recently, however, many young people have realized the advantages of the sport.
七、阅读理解。
In 1992, a farmer in Longyou County, Zhejiang Province made an amazing discovery. While pumping water
from a pond, he found a large underground cave (洞穴). This led to the discovery of 24 ancient man-made caves,
now known as the Longyou Caves. What makes these caves even more mysterious is the strange stone balls found
inside.
These stone balls are perfectly round and smooth, with diameters ranging from 10 to 30 centimeters. They
are made of hard granite, and each one is almost exactly the same in shape. The most puzzling question is: how
were they made so perfectly round without modern tools?
Archaeologists estimate (估计) that the caves were built about 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty.
However, no historical records mention their construction. The stone balls add to the mystery. Some experts believe
they might have been used as bearings for large doors or machines. Others think they could have been part of an
ancient calendar system. A few even suggest they might have had religious meaning.
What’s particularly interesting is that similar stone balls have been found in other parts of the world, like
Costa Rica. But the Longyou stone balls are unique in their perfect roundness and smooth surface. Scientists have
tried to recreate them using ancient methods, but haven’t succeeded in making balls as perfect as the originals.
Today, the Longyou Caves are open to tourists, and the stone balls remain one of China’s fascinating
archaeological mysteries, reminding us that ancient people had skills and knowledge that we are still trying to
understand.

In the new sci-fi film, The Wandering Earth《流浪地球》, humans save
the Earth without leaving it. In many-even most-space-themed films,
whenever Earth faces a disaster（劫难）, the 1 is always running
away from the planet in spaceships.
But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different
and more ambitious idea. In the film, based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi
writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. In reply, humans around the world work
2 to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the dying sun. 3 giving up Earth-
again-this time we're taking it with us.
This "ambition" didn't come from nowhere. For thousands of years," homeland" has had a soft point in 4
of Chinese people. One old idiom is "luoyeguigen", which means returning to one's homeland at the old age, like
5 leaves return to the roots of their trees. Or there is an ancient poem, "The season called the White Dew begins
tonight: Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright". These 6 show the tight link that Chinese
people have had with their homeland.
This special cultural background is probably the key 7 separates The Wandering Earth from Hollywood-
style space films.

our cultural and spiritual view can be called Chinese sci-fi. Or, we're just copying others and telling the same
American stories."
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film
was released on Feb 5th, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the
9 journey back to their hometowns.
So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story. Earth 10 wherever humans go, because it's

Part 1: Read and Explore
Villagers' Lives in Change
Life in the village has changed greatly over the past 20 years.
Many young people used to work in big cities to make a living. Now, more of them have come back to live and
work in their hometown.
Farming has also changed a lot. Villagers used to grow a few vegetables on small farms and sell them at local
markets. Now, they use large, high-tech greenhouses to grow tons of fruit and vegetables, and sell them in big cities
or online to people all over China.
The new highway and railway have turned the village into a popular tourist attraction. What's more, the village has
built new houses, a new hospital and a library, which greatly improve villagers' lives. Together, they are building a
new socialist village.
