     Spring Morning-by Meng Haoran（689-740）of the Tang Dynasty（618-907）
     This spring morning in bed I'm lying
     Not to awake till birds are crying
     After one night of wind and showers
     How many are the fallen flowers
     Written in a Village South of the Capital-by Cui Hu（772-846）of the Tang Dynasty
     In this house on this day last year a pink face vied
     In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side
     I do not know today where the pink face has gone
     In the vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown
     Happy Rain on a Spring Night（Excerpts）-by Du Fu（712-770）of the Tang Dynasty
     Good rain knows its time right，it will fall when comes spring
     With wind it steals in night，Mute，it moistens each thing
     Dreaming of the Southern Shore-by Bai Juyi（772-846）of the Tang Dynasty
     Fair Southern shore
     With scenes I much adore
     At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire
     In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire
     Which I can't but admire
     Love Seeds-by Wang Wei（701-761）of the Tang Dynasty

• 2．The safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage is considered an important part of sustainable development.Among the 629 UNESCO-listed traditions are five entries in Estonia，the most recent of which is the building and use of dugout canoes in the Soomaa region.
     Every year，before spring，Soomaa National Park transforms into an almost drowned world，when water from melting snow in the eastern uplands floods the low-lying forests，wetlands，roads and yards of the residents who still live here.The water level rose so high that villagers could roll a dugout canoe right through their windows and into their living rooms.Everyone has had to learn to adapt to the natural annual phenomenon.
     Building a dugout canoe requires a good trunk of an aspen，which grows throughout the forests of Estonia.Once cut down，the trees are peeled and shaped like a cigar using an axe.From here，the inside of the boat is carved out to give it shape.Builders cut the frame down to a few centimetres in thickness.A long log fire is then built alongside the canoe，which is filled with several bucketfuls of water and left to warm up.Once the water has evaporated，sticks are squeezed into the frame lengthways to open it up.Aspen is a soft wood and a trunk half a metre across can be expanded into a metre-wide boat.The boat is then left to cool in the shade and is traditionally finished the following spring，once the wood has fully dried，when it's given its final design and covered with tar.
     Aivar Ruukel，one of only five Estonians who still preserve the skill，chooses to build them as a way to connect with the history，As a young man，Ruukel attended workshops led by two master boat builders，both in their 70s at the time.He hopes that by the time he's 70 there will be more young people doing the same.Enthusiasts hope that its joining the heritage list will safeguard the ancient practice and attract the next generation of boatmasters to keep the tradition alive.

  A．To survive floods.

  ⑤Builders remove the barks and make the trees into cigar shapes.
  A．⑤③②④①
  B．②⑤④①③
  C．⑤②③①④
  D．②③⑤④①
  （3）Which statement will Ruukel probably agree with？

• 3．
     China has become the first country to successfully land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon．The Chang'e-4 probe （探測器） has also made the first lunar landing since 1972．It has the task of exploring the side of the moon that never faces the earth．The dark side of the moon is older and has a thicker surface than the visible side．It takes the moon as long to go around on its own axis （軸） as it does for one complete orbit around the Earth．
     The Chinese probe landed in a huge crater 2500 km in diameter and 13 km deep．The crater is one of the oldest parts of the moon and our solar system．
     Scientists hope to learn more about the geology of the far side of the moon．The craft has two cameras on board which will send images back to earth．It will also attempt to send signals to distant regions of space，something that cannot happen on earth because of too much radio noise．
     Chang'e-4 also has instruments on board to examine minerals as well as a container with seeds which will try to create a miniature （微型的） biosphere （生物圈）．
     Communication with the spacecraft is not easy．Images and other data must be transmitted to a separate satellite because no direct communication with the earth is possible．
     For China the Chang'e-4 mission is an important achievement，because the country has successfully done something no other nation on earth has．It wants to become a leading power in space exploration and has announced plans to send astronauts to the moon and set up its own space station．
  
  （1）Where did the Chang'e 4 probe land？

  
  A．On the lunar side facing the earth
  B．On the invisible side of the moon
  C．In a younger crater on the moon．
  D．In a previous space station．
  （2）Why is the craft equipped with a container？

  
  A．To see what seeds can come out on the moon．
  B．To collect some important matter on the moon．
  C．To find whether the seeds can grow on the moon．
  D．To check whether some minerals exist on the moon．
  （3）What can we learn from the text？

  
  A．The dark side of the moon is as cold as the other side．
  B．The bright side is younger and thinner than the other side．
  C．Other places in space may hardly receive signals from the craft．
  D．The two cameras on the craft can send pictures to the earth easily．
  （4）According to the text，what will China do in the future？

  
  A．China will land manned space craft on the moon．
  B．China will built another space station on the moon．
  C．China will launch more space probes to the moon．
  D．China will become the first country in exploring space．
