2．The TV series，The Longest Day in Chang'an，which was shown on Chinese online platforms，became a hit soon.Since then，it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad.Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying for it--the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad.
"I was amazed by the overseas audience's love of this show，" Cao Dun，director of The Longest Day in Chang'an，told Beijing Review. "I was worried that they wouldn't understand the complex political structure of the Tang Dynasty.But in fact，the show is prompting foreign audiences to research the history of the Tang Dynasty to better understand the plot."
The unique culture in ancient China is no a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign audiences.In the TV series，every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character.
Telling stories of the ordinary Chinese people that resonate（引起共鳴）with the audience might be the way to communicate with the world."The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders，" he told Beijing Review.
His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world."The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world，" Cao said."After describing the impressive beauty of the Tang dynasty，I am looking for several plays that tell stories of today's China.I don't want to copy any country's production.Chinese dramas have to build on our rich culture and Chinese people's everyday life." Cao added.

3．What will man be like in the future – in 5000 or even 50，000 years from now？We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example.Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today.Now，on average，men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity.As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change too：the head，in particular the forehead，will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker.At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modem life.
But what about hair？This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at!This may well be true.All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
（1）The passage mainly tells us.
A．man's life will be different in the future
B．what man will look like in the future
C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D．human's organs' functions will become weak
（2）The change in man's size of forehead will probably be because.
A．he makes use only 20% of the brain's capacity
B．his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C．the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
D．he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
（3）What will be true about a human being in the future？
A．He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B．He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.
C．His fingers will grow weaker because he won't have to make use of them.
D．He will think and feel in a different way.
（4）It is implied that.
A．human beings will become less attractive in the future.
B．less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration （退化）.
C．human beings hope for a change in the future life.
D．future life is always predictable.組卷：3引用：3難度：0.5

Last Sunday our school organized mountain climbing activity，whose purpose was to inspire us students to taking more outdoor exercise.Hundreds of students took part in it.Having gathered at the Xiangshan Park at 8 ：00，they set out for the top in high spirits.Along the way we enjoy the beautiful scenery，chatting with each other happy.If some people fell behind，others would come and lent them a hand，such as carrying their bags or making them feel encouraging.After about two and a half hour，we all reached the top，where we jumped and cheered with joy.The activity benefited to us a lot.Not only did we get some exercise，and also we promoted the friendship.組卷：1引用：4難度：0.5
