Nearly 95%of man-made diamonds and diamond powder of the world are made in Henan Province, according to a news report. Henan Province has become the leading player in man-made diamonds of the world. In 1953, the first lab grown-diamond     1     (make) in Sweden by applying high temperature and high pressure(HTHP). And China had to research     2     develop its own techniques on making diamond-grade drilling bits (钻头).

In 1964,     3     institute in Henan produced China’s first six-faced HTHP facility to produce diamond for industrial use,     4     (mark) the improvement of diamond-making technology. In1966, the six-faced HTHP pressing machines were produced greatly. The products were     5     (wide) used in glass, mining and other fields. Another milestone was after 2000. Thanks     6     technological advantages and orders from the rest of the world, a large number of man-made diamond     7     (company)appeared in Zhengzhou, Xuchuang, Shangqiu and Nanyang.

An industry expert said the     8     (different) between natural diamonds and man-made diamonds is like that between ice in the river and ice in the icebox. From 2012 to 2015, Henan-made diamonds entered the markets of developed countries. In 2016, Henan Province was able     9     (produce) diamonds that meet 4C standards for natural diamonds. Furthermore, in the past two years, the color and purity of Henan-made diamonds     10     (improve) along with a fall in their prices.

Hangzhou will build a world-class ecological and cultural tourism corridor in connection with Anhui Province’s Huangshan City. Five towns in Hangzhou’s Chun’an County and five towns in Huangshan’s Shexian County    1     (include) according to the prepared plan. In ancient times, they were part of Huizhou region where the Xin’an River runs through. Dating back to the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), a trail    2    (link) Hangzhou’s Tianmu Mountain and Huangshan’s Yellow Mountain was formed to exchange goods     3     the two regions.

Over the years, Hangzhou and Huangshan     4    (preserve) their unique architecture and local ways of life in old villages, making this area popular with tourists. The villages have resisted the winds of change    5     swept across many other parts of China.

Recently, a new type of weather condition called atmospheric lakes has been observed, existing     1     (primary) in one particular part of the world: small, slow-moving, moisture-rich (富含水气的) pools.

This unique type of storm occurs over the western Indian Ocean and moves toward Africa. Compared with most storms     2     (create) by a vortex (漩涡), the lakes are produced by water vapor concentrations that are thick enough     3     (produce) rain. These atmospheric lakes are similar     4     atmospheric rivers, narrow bands of thick moisture. However, the new type of phenomenon is smaller and moving slower. Over the last five years, 17 atmospheric lakes lasting     5     (long) than six days have been discovered, within 10 degrees of the equator.

A team is now being put together to run a full study on the phenomenon. One of the questions the researchers will be looking at is     6     atmospheric lakes separate themselves from the river-lake patterns they form from-it’s possibly due to the overall atmospheric wind patterns. Their next step is to gather more data, including more localized and     7     (detail) readings.

    8    remains to be seen whether the concept of “atmospheric lake” can     9     (accept) widely or not. However, it is obviously an effective way to analyze various meteorological (气象的)    10     (phenomenon) and reveal their laws and possible impacts.

Sun Moon Lake is located in the central region of Taiwan. It covers     1     area of 7. 7 square kilometers and has an average water     2     (deep) of 40 meters.

According to legend, a white deer contributed to the discovery of the lake. Three hundred years ago, a group of     3     (farmer) were hunting when they discovered a large white deer running to the northwest. They followed this     4     (amaze) creature for three days and nights, but it finally disappeared in the forest. On the fourth day, after they had moved through the forest, they came upon an impressive view. They     5     (see) a beautiful lake shining brightly in the sun. A small round island covered with trees divided the lake     6     two parts. One part was like the sun and the other part was like the moon, so they called it Sun Moon Lake.     7     (attract) by the fertile soil and beautiful scenery there, they decided to settle down and began a new life.

Sun Moon Lake is the     8     (large) natural lake in Taiwan. With a pleasant climate, it is a top choice as a summer destination. The beauty of the lake lies in its still water,     9     clearly reflects the surrounding mountains. It is     10     (extreme) attractive at night, when the water is bathed in moonlight.

Because of a layer of thin fog, it gives the appearance of a place existing only in legend.

Painted clay sculptures and wall paintings in the Mogao Grottoes have     5       (main) Buddhist themes, but they also include human figures,     6     (reflect) various societies and cultures of different times. Besides, they also show     7     (paint) styles of combination (结合) Of Chinese and Western arts.

But his perseverance impresses the gods who grant his wish.

One of the     3    (mountain) is Wangwu, located in Jiyuan, Henan Province. Wangwu Mountain, named a UNESCO world geological park in 2006,     4    (cover) an area of 270 square kilometres, with the peak at 1,715 metres, and has many Taoist temples.
