Nowadays, our classrooms, neighborhoods and communities become     1     (much) diverse (多样化的) than ever before. People from different     2     (country) and cultures continue to spread out around the world. Different skin colors, languages, physical abilities and clothing     3     (be) some of the types of diversity that we experience every day.

How we respond to this diversity will decide not only our future as a person but also our future as a society. As Maya Angelou said, “In diversity there is beauty and     4     (strong)”. Tolerance (宽容) means openness to the differences that exist among us all. It means respecting and learning from others,     5     (value) our differences and discovering what we have     6     common.

In contrast, humans     8     are open to differences will create a more peaceful world and have better opportunities in life whether through education, work or friendships. So having tolerance will change our life for the better, and make the world     9     better place. Difference is of the spirit of humans and we should learn     10     (respect) it.

4 . Humans have long gained pleasure from the smells of the natural world. For the most part, though, human beings are not their target market. For plants, fragrances are a way to interact with insects and other animals. Their attraction for people happens simply by chance.

In chemical terms, most natural fragrances are made up of volatiles — so called because of their tendency to change states suddenly. Volatiles evaporate easily, drifting into noses. In plants’ reproductive processes, smelly volatiles attract pollinators (授粉昆虫). But their natural applications are much more varied. If an insect chews through the leaves of some Bursera plants, out shoots a sticky, smelly liquid to trap it. Coyote tobacco plants are even more crafty: upon sensing the smell of hungry caterpillars, they produce volatiles that attract predators to kill the pests.

What is truly amazing is just how wily plants can be in using their scents for reproduction. White flowers often emit their scent at night to attract nocturnal pollinators such as moths. They produce a dilute nectar (稀释的花蜜) that encourages moths to keep moving, rather than linger at a single bloom—all the better to increase pollination. Other flowers change their fragrance after being successfully pollinated, as a signal for insects to go elsewhere.

But though “Scent” is a story of plants’ cleverness, it is also a tale of the human kind. People have long used fragrances for their own purposes, particularly for use in religious ceremonies: perfume recipes on the walls of an Egyptian temple in Edfu demonstrate just how long ingredients have been mixed in pursuit of the best blend. So highly prized were some scents that, to scare off competitors, Arab traders spread a legend about giant eagles that guarded cinnamon.

Eventually scientists no longer needed natural sources for fragrances. In 1866 a fragrance molecule was produced for the first time. Sixteen years later, Houbigant Parfum released Fougère Royale, the first “modern fantasy perfume” that creates an imaginary scent rather than copying a natural one. Nowadays fragrance–making is dominated by man–made compounds, which can be reliably and affordably produced in large quantities.

That has led to the mass production of smelly products, from toilet paper to toothpaste. Scent is accordingly big business. It is said that a world–famous fragrance and flavour manufacturer that claims people interact with its products up to 30 times a day, had sales of €3.8bn last year.

1. According to Paragraph 1 and 2, which would the author agree with?

A．Some plants might kill the pests with their smells.

B．Fragrance is a tool for plants to protect themselves.

C．People interact with nature easily through fragrance.

D．Fragrances are less important to humans than to animals and insects.

2. What does the underlined word “prized” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A．Developed.

B．Rewarded.

C．Mixed.

D．Valued.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Humans do not use fragrances as purposefully as plants do.

B．Natural sources for fragrances will be out of date in the future.

C．Plants use fragrances to both attract and send away pollinators.

D．Man–made fragrances have to be produced by copying natural ones.

4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Plants Smell, Insects Prey	B．Smartness behind Fragrance
C．Fragrance: To Make or Not to Make	D．Fragrance Connects Human & Nature

6 . Since the beginning of the China chic(中国风) fever roughly two years ago, Chinese elements have become increasingly popular among young illustrators and designers. From Chinese YouTuber Li Ziqi to the design of clothes to furniture, Chinese aesthetics(美学) can be found everywhere. Wu Yao, a well-known Chinese illustrator and designer, said in an interview that the emergence of China chic is in fitting with the times and provides ordinary consumers, both Chinese and foreign, with a channel and opportunity to learn about Chinese tradition.

The fundamental reason for the popularity of China chic comes from the all-covering nature of Chinese art. For instance, Chinese paintings have an extensive range of subjects and styles. There are a lot of French artists or fashion masters who have a lot of Chinese collections at home.

Some experts say that Chinese millennials(千禧一代) are a generation who grew up with the revival of Chinese culture. They are confident in their own culture, pay more attention to quality, innovation, personal experience and are willing to experience multiculturalism. Therefore a sense of identity and confidence in traditional culture began to emerge among them.

At the same time, to satisfy the Chinese market, a lot of foreign brands introduced products with Chinese elements such as "tiger bags" or clothing printed with flowers popular in Northeast China. However, it seems that Chinese consumers are not buying these products. This is due to the designer of these products' lack of understanding of Chinese culture. They don't know the stories of these cultural relics, so they define a Chinese style according to their own understanding.

"They don't take our traditional culture as seriously as we do. As Chinese designers, we carefully search literature, learn traditional culture and do much work before each creation, but they do not care so much about this," Wu noted.

1. Why is Li Ziqi mentioned?

A．To praise Li Ziqi for her great success.

B．To give an example of Chinese aesthetics.

C．To show her influence on Chinese aesthetics.

D．To attract more people to know and follow her.

2. What makes China chic so popular?

A．More art collectors' emergence.	B．The easier access to Chinese art.
C．The wide coverage of Chinese art.	D．People's improved aesthetic standards.

3. What might Wu Yao advise foreign designers to do?

A．Take their profession more seriously.

B．Change their attitude toward the China chic.

C．Create more products with Chinese elements.

D．Learn more about Chinese traditional culture.

4. What is mainly talked about in the text?

A．The characteristics of Chinese aesthetics.

B．The popularity of China chic in the world.

C．The challenges facing young artists in China.

D．The distinctions between Chinese and other aesthetics.
