For a small but increasing number of young women in modern-day China, true love is all about the numbers. A potential suitor may have a good sense of humor and reasonable good looks, but what they say really matters is if he owns an apartment and how many square feet it is. A sizable bank account is also a must, and, some say, so is a luxury car。
At least, that’s the way things look if you watch Chinese television these days. The latest reality-TV scandal to shock the nation involves Ma Nuo, a 22-year-old model from Beijing who appeared on China's most popular dating show, If You Are the One. She rejected an offer from a male contestant to take a ride on his bike. "I'd rather cry in a BMW (宝马) car than laugh on the backseat of a bicycle," Ma told her suitor with a giggle.
The televised words swept the Internet and made an instant celebrity of Ma, who becomes one of the most talked-about women in the country. The reaction among young Chinese was especially severe, reflecting growing anxieties over the widening gap between rich and poor, shifting societal values and public attention on the difficulties of finding a mate in a country where men are expected to outnumber women by 24 million in a decade.
As disgusted as they have been by some of the contestants, viewers continue to watch religiously. Why are people still tuning in? "Audiences like programs because they are honest. They show the current reality of Chinese society," says Yan Mu, one of the founders of Baihe.com. Young people are so focused on making money and building their careers these days, they have little time to devote to dating, he says. "Many people feel pressure from their parents and peers," Yan adds. " It can be a struggle to find a partner." Money may not buy you love. But on China's reality shows, it can at least get you a date.
The underlined words“numbers”in the first paragraph include the following except_______
A. the age and degree B. the size of the house C. the sum of the deposit D. the price of the belonging
What does Ma Nuo mean by saying“I’d rather cry in a BMW car than laugh on the backseat of a bicycle.”in the second paragraph?
A. When she is in a BMW car, she will cry B. When she is on a bike, she will laugh
C. She prefers money to true love D. She prefers true love to money
Why do many young men take part in TV dating shows?
A. because they think they may get true love from them
B. because they think China’s reality shows can at least give them a chance to date
C. because their parents and peers force them to do so
D. because viewers like dating shows
Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. some contestants have been disgusted because they are dishonest
B. young people are too busy to take part in dating shows
C. some people are worried that societal value are changing
D. Ma Nuo rejected the bike offered by the contestant
What is the best title of the passage?
A. China’s TV Dating Show B. Date for Love or money
C. Date Makes You a Celebrity D. Popular TV Dating Show

Taiwan-born American director Ang Lee's win of his second directing Oscar has sparked complex feelings among Chinese audiences, who expressed their pride due to the director's Chinese roots, but couldn't help but reflect on why the Chinese mainland has failed to deliver more outstanding films to the world .
Lee, 58, on Sunday accepted the Academy Award for best director for Life of Pi, a 3D adventure-drama film. Lee had won the top directing award in 2006 for Brokeback Mountain and the best foreign language film Oscar in 2001 for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Lee came to Hollywood's attention after directing three Chinese-language films in the early 1990s, with an emphasis on the interactions between modernity and Chinese traditions. Some Web users called Lee "a source of pride for Chinese people," and admired him for bearing the torch of Chinese culture.
However, a large number of audience members and critics from the mainland expressed their frustrations over home-made movies: Mainland filmmakers have made numerous ambitious tries for the prestigious award but never won.
Hao Jie, a young director whose 2010 film Single Man won the Special Jury Prize in the Tokyo Filmex Festival but was never screened in the mainland for it showed complex sex lives in a village.
"Due to the censorship(审查), we are prevented from the beginning of our production, which forbids our works from mirroring realities," Hao said.
While acknowledging the system's role in undermining(削弱) excellent works, Su Mu, a well-known film critic, argued that the atmosphere in the mainland's film circle is also to blame. "Lee produces his works with his heart, but most mainland directors now only have money in mind."
Though having obtained approval for his second film from the film authority, Hao said cinemas have kept delaying the screening of his work. "This is another factor that prevents us from progressing. Cinemas won't risk showing our film, which features no stars and is considered non-mainstream," complained Hao.
1.What does the underlined phrase “the prestigious award” refer to?
A. the Best Director of Oscar
B. any of the Oscar Awards
C. the Special Jury Prize
D. the best foreign language film Oscar
2.Which of the following statements is true?
A. Ang Lee’s films are always focusing on Chinese traditions.
B. Chinese audiences are proud of their Chinese identity in the films.
C. Ang Lee has won the world’s favor only by means of his three Oscars.
D. Ang Lee is famous for his combining modernity and Chinese traditions.
3.Which of the following is NOT the factor that prevents Chinese mainland films’ progressing?
A. Strict censorship.
B. A lack of wonderful directors.
C. The bad atmosphere in the film circle.
D. Cinemas’ not risking showing low-cost films.
4.The best title for the passage is probably_____.
A. Ang Lee-Pride of Chinese Movie-makers
B. The Future of Chinese Mainland Film-making
C. Bitter-sweet Feeling over Ang Lee’s Oscar Win
D. What Can Chinese Films Do for the Oscar Awards

TANG Dynasty writer Du Mu once wrote in a poem titled Qingming: "The ceaseless drizzle drips all the dismal day; So broken-hearted fares the traveler on the way.Where can a wine house be found to drown his sadness ?A cowherd points to Almond Flower (Xing Hua) Village in the distance."
Qingming, the traditional tomb-sweeping day on the Chinese lunar calendar, falls on April 4 this year. Qingming Jie was proclaimed（正式宣布） a Chinese national holiday in 2008. It is a time for remembering loved ones who have departed (去世). People visit their ancestors’ graves to sweep away the dirt and get rid of any weeds. They also leave offerings (祭品) of food and flowers, and burn incense (香) and paper money. Chinese tombs are usually built in the woods or on mountains, far from the city. It is believed that an area that faces south, with many pine trees, is a proper place for a tomb. People believe such a place will make the ancestors happy, and in return, they will look after the living family.
Nowadays, more and more residents are choosing environmental-friendly ways to spend the holiday such as flower sacrifices and memorial ceremonies on the Internet or at home. As one of the traditional ways to celebrate Tomb-sweeping Day – burning paper or incense – isn't exactly good for air quality
In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere
Many people fly kites on Tomb Sweeping Day. They are usually made from a bamboo crossbow with coloured paper. The kite vibrates and buzzes as it rises into the sky, counterbalanced by its tail. Large kites can be as broad as three metres across, with a tail of six to ten metres. Most kites have a rectangular shape, and many have patterns of crabs, centipedes, butterflies, dragonflies, or Chinese characters such as "good fortune" or "long life".
1.What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．The cultural difference between the east and the west.
B．The traditional customs on tomb-sweeping day.
C．Various ways to care for the dead in the world.
D．Qingming Festival
2.All of the following practices are mentioned on tomb-sweeping day EXCEPT_____ .
A．Weeping over the passed-away.
B．Flying kites made from bamboo and paper
C．Sending flowers to their ancestors’ graves.
D．Burning incense and paper money for the dead.
