• 3．Want to experience an English village ？Ensure to look out for morris dancing.It is a folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century.
      Men and women wearing old-fashioned clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods.Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they bash（敲击） against each other while they dance.Other groups wave handkerchiefs（手帕） in the air when they perform.The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when they are over，the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer.The festivities will often continue long into the night，by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again!
      Morris dancing is a great English tradition but it's facing a big crisis（危机）.As the years go by fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups.The dancers are getting older and older and if nothing is done to change this trend，the tradition will die out within the next few decades.
      If you've ever had the fortune to see morris dancing，you may understand why teenagers aren't rushing to sign up.Putting it clearly，it's not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to be doing!Why dress up in bells and funny clothes when you could be going clubbing？Or playing sport？O doing anything else？
      However，it would be a great shame to lose such a fun part of England's history and culture.It's important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it's something as harmless and happy as morris dancing.So here's a toast（祝酒）to the next generation of would-be morris dancers!

• 4．Shanghai residents passing through the city's eastern Huangpu district in October might have astonished at an unusual sight：a "walking" building.An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and relocated using new technology named the "walking" machine.
     In the city's latest effort to preserve historic structures，engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building.The supports act like robotic legs.They're split into two groups which in turns rise up and down，imitating the human step.Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.
     The Lagena Primary School，which weighs 7，600 tons，faced a new challenge — it's T-shaped，while previously relocated structures were square or rectangular.Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the "walking machine".
     Over the course of 18 days，the building was rotated 21 degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new location.The old school building is set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural protection.The project marks the first time this "walking machine" method has been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building.
     In recent years，China's rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for skyscrapers and office buildings.But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage loss as a result of destruction across the country.
     Shanghai has been China's most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation.The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century "Shikumen" houses in the repaired Xintiandi neighborhood has offered examples of how to give old buildings new life.The city also has a track record of relocating old buildjye.aigs.In 2018，the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district，which was then considered to be Shanghai's most complex relocation project to date.
  
  （1）How did the primary school get moved？

  
  A．By reducing the weight of it.
  B．By using movable supports.
  C．By dividing it into several parts.
  D．By using robotic legs.
  （2）What does the underlined word "razed" probably mean in Paragraph 5？

  
  A．Replaced.
  B．Burnt.
  C．Protected.
  D．Destroyed.
  （3）What can we infer about the heritage preservation in China？

  
  A．The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.
  B．Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.
  C．A number of old buildings have been given new life.
  D．Many historic buildings will be relocated.
  （4）What is the passage mainly about？

  
  A．New preservation campaigns are launched in China.
  B．New technology gives new life to historic buildings.
  C．A building in Shanghai "walks" to a new location.
  D．"Walking machine" makes heritage protection simpler.
