3 . Many of China’s ancient architectural treasures crumbled into dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s. The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China, and by far the best known. Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rapid development.

Becoming China’s best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old, often located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring China’s remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained (养护) roads by mule (骡子), or on foot. Inns (客栈) were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always risk of violence from rebels, soldiers and robbers.

Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha’s Light, in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was rebuilt in 857 A.D., making it the oldest building known in China at the time.

Liang and Lin crawled into the temple’s most forbidding, forgotten areas to determine its age, including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats. “In complete darkness and among awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and photographed with flashlights for several hours. When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture.” Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in the book “Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring China’s Architectural Past”.

1. What does the underlined word “crumbled” mean in Paragraph 1?

A．Were stolen.	B．Fell down.
C．Looked old.	D．Closed up.

2. On their way to the ancient buildings in the 1930s, what risks did Liang and Lin mainly face?

A．Transport and accommodations.

B．Personal safety and weather.

C．Communication with locals and food.

D．Road conditions and funds.

3. What can we infer from Liang’s words in the text?

A．They considered their work was the most important.

B．They were well-equipped before entering the temple.

C．They found some surprising things in the temple.

D．The conditions inside the temple were common to them.

4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．Tough Conditions in China’s Remote Areas

B．Partners in Documenting China’s Architectural Treasures

C．The Reason for Liang and Lin’s Exploration

D．The Difficulties China’s Architectural Historians Are Facing

5 . You might think of it as a scene from martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting.

Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.

Yang Liu, a 25-year-old inheritor of bamboo drifting, learned it at seven. “Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not be buoyant (有浮力的) enough to float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell in the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said.

The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 18 years, she has drifted all year round, in cold winter and hot summer. As hanfu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful scene. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “I’m extremely proud to get responses from viewers that bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and known to more people,” Yang Liu says.

1. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs?

A．Bamboo drifting involves lots of skills.

B．Nanmu was delivered to the north by land.

C．Bamboo was costly in Guizhou 2,000 years ago.

D．The martial arts movie is a form of cultural heritage.

2. What is the biggest challenge in bamboo drifting?

A．Keeping balance.	B．Maintaining a fixed angle.
C．Finding the proper bamboo.	D．Holding the bamboo firmly in hands.

3. What do the viewers think of bamboo drifting?

A．Impossible.

B．Confusing.

C．Unbelievable.

D．Complicated.

4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Balancing with Grace	B．Yang Liu: a Creative Performer
C．Transporting Bamboo down the River	D．Intangible Cultural Heritage in Guizhou
