Hanfu fans from all over China gathered there to take 18.　　　　 and put them online for a Hanfu photo competition, which lasted until May 18. ‎ ‎　　China Hanfu Day is on the third day of the third 19.　　　　 of the Chinese lunar calendar(农历), which is said to be the birthday of the Yellow Emperor. In 20.　　　　 China, this day was also known as Shangsi Festival(上巳节). Its purpose is to encourage young Chinese 21.　　　　 pride in traditional clothing, as well as Chinese culture. ‎ ‎　　Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people who lived in China before the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of about 3,000 years and it 22.　　　　 greatly so far. However, some of 23.　　　　 main characteristics(特点) remain. For example, there are two parts that overlap(交叠) on the front, which is called “jiao ling”. Another main characteristic of Hanfu is that it usually uses ribbons(系带) instead of buttons. ‎ ‎　　China is becoming a leading country in the world, and the Chinese public feels more confident(自信的) about its traditional culture 24.　　　　 ever before. Wearing traditional clothing might be an interesting way of showing ‎ ‎25.　　　　 they feel about this. ‎ Ⅱ.阅读理解 Passage 1‎ ‎　　If a polar bear tells you to talk to the hand, don't be surprised. The animals seem to communicate ‎ 6‎ with each other through scent trails(气味痕迹) left by their paws. As they walk across the snowy Arctic, polar bears are usually alone. In the past, people noticed that polar bears sometimes smelled the footprints of other bears. Could there be chemical information hidden in their tracks?‎ ‎　　Researchers gathered scent samples from the feet of 203 wild polar bears. All of the samples were taken in spring, when polar bears produce young. To get each bear's scent, researchers rubbed a cotton cloth between its toes. Then they went to zoos and tested 28 zoo polar bears to see how they responded to the foot scents of strange bears. In case(以防) the toe clothes from the wild bears carried any disease, the researchers spread each scent sample onto a piece of cardboard and put it inside a little wooden box. The bears could smell and approach the boxes, but they couldn't touch the samples directly.‎ ‎　　In general, bears were more interested in foot scents from the opposite sex(性别). They were more likely to approach the scent boxes in spring than in fall.‎ Judging by the zoo bears' special interest in scents from the opposite sex, it seems that polar bears use foot smells to track down potential(潜在的) mates. By following a set of attractive footprints, a lonely polar bear can find itself a partner and make more polar bears. But this will only work as long as the sea ice that bears walk across is unbroken. The more it melts, the more bears' trails will be incomplete. As a result, they will have no one's feet to smell but their own.‎ ‎26. What's the right order of the steps that researchers follow to study the communication between polar bears? ‎ ‎(　　)‎ a. Rub a cotton cloth between each bear's toes.‎ b. Go to zoos and test 28 zoo polar bears to see how they respond.‎ c. Write down the zoo bears' responses and find out the reason accordingly.‎ d. Spread each scent sample onto a piece of cardboard and put it inside a box.‎ A. a→d→c→b B. a→d→b→c C. d→a→c→b D. d→a→b→c ‎27. Why were the pieces of cardboard with scent samples placed in the boxes? (　　)‎ A. To help zoo bears to smell the scents directly.‎ B. To keep the scents from disappearing quickly.‎ C. To prevent possible diseases in samples from spreading.‎ D. To separate these wild bears’ scents from those of zoo bears.‎ ‎28. By following a set of attractive footprints, a polar bear can 　　　　. (　　) ‎ 6‎ A. find more food B. find its way home C. find itself a partner D. make more friends ‎29. From the last paragraph, we can infer(推测) 　　　　.(　　) ‎ ‎ A. the birth of more polar bears B. the way of bears to attract their mates ‎ C. the possibility of bears' losing their way D. the need for keeping the Arctic from melting Passage 2‎ ‎　　Isn't spring a beautiful season? Flowers of all colors and shapes can be seen everywhere. They make our world look and smell better. So, it is no surprise that people love flowers! Well… except for one—dandelions(蒲公英)!‎ In order to have a tidy garden, we try our best to kill all dandelions or dig them out—only to see these unwanted plants grow right back. But that's not bad because we have good reasons to leave them alone.‎ In fact, a 2014 study lists dandelions as one of the top 41 healthiest foods. Dandelions are full of vitamins(维生素) K, A, E and C. They have long been used as medicine.‎ Another great thing about dandelions is that you can eat every part of them, either cooked or uncooked. You can also put the flowers or roots(根) in hot water to make dandelion tea. Great! Nothing goes to waste!‎ Besides, dandelions are fun for kids! Pick the white top, close your eyes, make a wish and blow! If you blow all of it off in one breath, your wish will come true! This game is played all over the world.‎ Still unwanted plants? Of course not! Dandelions are good for human health as well as our kitchen. They also provide kids with free toys! So next time when you are blowing them, blow harder—you're helping this great plant grow in the wild, even if your own wish does not come true!‎ ‎30.The first paragraph is mainly to draw readers' attention to 　　　　.
