How do we make traditional Chinese culture alive and popular again among young people The livestream(网络直播)has made it. It is not only fun, but also a new stage for traditional culture artists.
On video websites and apps, many traditional culture artists are trying the livestream for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their handmade pieces of art, while some others perform classical music.
Li,59 years old, is a laosheng performer in Peking Opera who started the livestream this year. Unlike performing on a formal stage, Li uses everyday places as his stage, including his backyard, his study, and even a sofa. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a funny way. People can ask him questions and get answers directly. "The livestream has brought this great art to more people," Li said. " It allows young people to know this traditional art and learn more about it in an easy way."
Other artists also regard the livestream as a new opportunity. A fashion show was once livestreamed on an app. Performers showed beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles, including those from the Tang and Ming dynasties. During the show, viewers enjoyed the clothes and watched how performers used ancient styles of make-up. For example, one performer taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow(桂叶眉)，which was popular during the Tang Dynasty.
There is no doubt that the livestream has created a new way through which traditional culture can be kept alive.

A dragon-shaped bronze statue （青铜像）with a “ tiger” head and tiger brain was discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins（遗址）Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province. This kind of object has never been found in other sites of the Bronze Age in China.
The shape of this dragon is a bit special as its head is like a tiger’s head, and its ears are round like those of a tiger. But it has two long horns（犄角）on its head. Its mouth is also special with something like a knife in it. And its body is like a flying dragon.
According to reports, this statue is about 80 cm high, but it’s still not a complete bronze. Experts have found that this statue has no supports in front of it, and its main body exceeds（超出）the base. So it probably needs to lean（倚靠）on other objects to keep its balance.
So where is the missing part After searching , experts made another great discovery about half a meter away: the top-shaped snake- like figure（雕像）. The 1.5- meter-high body is supported on a square base with both hands, and turns upward. It also needs to lean on other object to keep balance.
Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects. If the guess proves to be true, this will become another huge Sanxingdui Ruins Site since the late 1920s. It all began in 1929 when a farmer was digging a hole there and it opened the door to an unknown culture of 3000 to 5000 years old.
68. What can we know about the bronze statue
A. Its shape is like a tiger. B. There are two long horns on its mouth.
C. It has been found in another sites of the Bronze Age in China.
D. It was found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province.
69. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “support” in paragraph 3
A. 维持. B. 养活. C. 支撑. D. 帮助.
70. Why does the statue need to lean on other objects according to the experts
A. Because its main body is too long. B. Because it has to keep its balance.
C. Because it has supports behind it. D. Because it is an independent bronze.
71. What can we infer from the experts’ guess
A. The missing part of the dragon-shaped is probably the snake-like figure.
B. The snake-like figure is the first bronze that has been found at Sanxingdui Ruins Site.
C. The snake-like figure is quite different from the tiger-shaped figure.
D. More than 50000 ancient objects have been found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site
72. What is the main idea of this passage
A. The guess of some experts.
B. The missing part of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
C.The discovery of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
D. The discovery of Chinese unknown culture.

Fun, isn’t it And we don’t need to pronounce those different local greeting words. With a hearty smile, it can be well understood and appreciated（欣赏）. 77 So let’s learn to say “ Beautiful” in the local language whenever and wherever you travel around the world!

How do we make traditional Chinese culture alive and popular again among young people The
livestream(网络直播)has made it. It is not only fun, but also a new stage for traditional culture artists.
On video websites and apps, many traditional culture artists are trying the livestream for the first time.
Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their handmade pieces of art, while some others perform
classical music.
Li,59 years old, is a laosheng performer in Peking Opera who started the livestream this year. Unlike
performing on a formal stage, Li uses everyday places as his stage, including his backyard, his study, and
even a sofa. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a funny way. People can ask
him questions and get answers directly. "The livestream has brought this great art to more people," Li said.
" It allows young people to know this traditional art and learn more about it in an easy way."
Other artists also regard the livestream as a new opportunity. A fashion show was once livestreamed
on an app. Performers showed beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles, including those from the Tang
and Ming dynasties. During the show, viewers enjoyed the clothes and watched how performers used
ancient styles of make-up. For example, one performer taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow(桂
叶眉)，which was popular during the Tang Dynasty.
There is no doubt that the livestream has created a new way through which traditional culture can be
kept alive.
63.What makes traditional Chinese culture popular again according to the passage

A dragon-shaped bronze statue （青铜像）with a “ tiger” head and tiger brain was discovered at the
Sanxingdui Ruins（遗址）Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province. This kind of object has never been found
in other sites of the Bronze Age in China.
The shape of this dragon is a bit special as its head is like a tiger’s head, and its ears are round like those
of a tiger. But it has two long horns（犄角）on its head. Its mouth is also special with something like a
knife in it. And its body is like a flying dragon.
According to reports, this statue is about 80 cm high, but it’s still not a complete bronze. Experts have
found that this statue has no supports in front of it, and its main body exceeds（超出）the base. So it
probably needs to lean（倚靠）on other objects to keep its balance.
So where is the missing part After searching , experts made another great discovery about half a meter
away: the top-shaped snake- like figure（雕像）. The 1.5- meter-high body is supported on a square base
with both hands, and turns upward. It also needs to lean on other object to keep balance.
Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects. If the guess proves to
be true, this will become another huge Sanxingdui Ruins Site since the late 1920s. It all began in 1929
when a farmer was digging a hole there and it opened the door to an unknown culture of 3000 to 5000
years old.
68. What can we know about the bronze statue
A. Its shape is like a tiger. B. There are two long horns on its mouth.
C. It has been found in another sites of the Bronze Age in China.
D. It was found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province.
69. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “support” in paragraph 3

{#{QQABSQCAggiIABJAABgCQwHSCgAQkAEAAKoOwBAMMAAAwRNABCA=}#}
A. 维持. B. 养活. C. 支撑. D. 帮助.
70. Why does the statue need to lean on other objects according to the experts
A. Because its main body is too long. B. Because it has to keep its balance.
C. Because it has supports behind it. D. Because it is an independent bronze.
71. What can we infer from the experts’ guess
A. The missing part of the dragon-shaped is probably the snake-like figure.
B. The snake-like figure is the first bronze that has been found at Sanxingdui Ruins Site.
C. The snake-like figure is quite different from the tiger-shaped figure.
D. More than 50000 ancient objects have been found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site
72. What is the main idea of this passage
A. The guess of some experts.
B. The missing part of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
C.The discovery of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
D. The discovery of Chinese unknown culture.
