In January, 2016, a three-episode TV documentary,

Masters in Forbidden City, was broadcast on China Central

Television. It soon became popular – the first episode

alone has been watched nearly 1 million times so far on the

video website bilibili..

Now the documentary has been made into a film, and came

out on Dec 16, 2016. It is about how professional antiquity restorers (文物修复者) in the Forbidden City repair ancient paintings, calligraphy, clocks and bronze pieces. It may not sound exciting, but the restorers’ patience and their 100 percent focus on even the smallest things is enough to impress people.

In fact, many of the restorers are young people. It has also made the documentary popular among their peers(同龄人), as it has shown them possibility of a different lifestyle. After Masters in Forbidden City was broadcast, about 20,000 people applied to work in the Forbidden City. Most of them were new college graduates.

The job has become popular. So have the restorers. But was it difficult to be part of a documentary? “It was only supposed to be difficult for the director, not for us. We simply did our jobs, paying no attention to anyone else around.” said Shi Liancang, one of the restorers, when asked during the film’s premiere(首映) in Shanghai. To make the documentary, the production team also did five years of pre-research and four months of uninterrupted(连续的) filming in the Forbidden City.

Indeed, these restorers keep this peaceful state of mind and devote themselves to doing the same thing they deeply love day after day. As the poster for the documentary says, “Choose a career and do it for a lifetime.”

28. What does the documentary Masters in Forbidden City mainly talk about?

A. Detailed introductions of things in the Forbidden City.

B. How restorers in the Forbidden City repair things.

C. Life of professional antiquity restorers in the Forbidden City.

D. Different kinds of workers working in the Forbidden City.

29. From what Shi Liancang said in paragraph 4, the most important quality

of the restorers should be _______.

A. curiosity

B. creativity

C. imagination

D. attention

30. What does the documentary want to tell people?

A. Choose a job you love and do it well.

B. Working as an antiquity restorer is great.

C. Young people should live a different life.

D. Shooting a film in the Forbidden City requires hard work.

C

We usually see ancient plants or insects in amber(琥珀).

But recently, a group of researchers found something unusual

in amber — a feathered tail!

The tail includes bones, soft tissue and even feathers. It

is 37 mm long, which is about the length of a matchstick. It

looks like a plant at first sight. But researchers later identified(确定) it as part of the tail of a dinosaur that couldn’t fly almost 100 million years ago.

Xing Lida of Beijing’s China University of Geosciences discovered the amber in a market in Myanmar in 2015. “It is an amazing fossil(化石) and the finest details of feathers can be seen in 3-D.” he said.

The researchers note in their paper that this finding is particularly special because, although dinosaur feathers have been found in amber before, we don’t know which dinosaurs they came from. But this time researchers know more.

The tail is likely to belong to a tiny dinosaur called coelurosaur. Famous coelurosaurs include the T-rex(霸王龙) and Velociraptor(迅猛龙) —the latter of which would finally evolve into birds.

So with the “once in a lifetime” finding, can we hope for the possibility of a real Jurassic Park (侏罗纪公园)? In the movie series, scientists bring dinosaurs back to life by getting their DNA from blood found in amber.

But Canadian scientist Ryan Mckellar said that although soft tissue and blood of the tail were found in the amber, no genetic material was kept. “The Jurassic Park answer is still a ‘no’ — this is in the science fi ction.” he said.

31. What did a group of researchers find in amber recently?

A. Ancient plants.

B. A tail of some ancient birds that couldn’t fly.

C. Ancient insects.

D. A tail with feathers that belongs to a dinosaur.

32. What do you know about the amber?

a. It is about 100 million years old.

b. It was discovered in Myanmar.

c. It was discovered this year.

d. It is a valuable fossil.

A. ab

B. bc

C. ac

D. bd

33. What does the underlined phrase “evolve into” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. come into

B. break into

C. grow into

D. get into

34. Why is the finding particularly special?

A. Because it is the first time that dinosaur feathers have been found in amber.

B. Because researchers know which dinosaur the tail might belong to.

C. Because researchers learned that Velociraotpors evolved into birds.

D. Because researchers learned that there were two types of coelurosaurs.

35. The movie Jurassic Park is mentioned to .

A. talk about the use of DNA in this area

B. call on people to watch it

C. compare different dinosaurs

D. talk about science fiction

D

The main reason I was a little nervous to go to Inner Mongolia was that I didn’t really know what to expect. However, I was interested in the horse riding, archery and delicious food that I had heard about.

Also, my friend and I would be travelling there and sleeping in a traditional Mongolian yurt with complete strangers. I was worried about this new and difficult experience.

As soon as we got to the grasslands after our long five-hour journey by car, we were greeted with steaming bowls of hearty Mongolian noodles—just what we needed to get us in the mood to explore. We took a walk around the grasslands and were
