• 2．One summer during high school，my mom volunteered me to help Grandpa research our family tree.Great，I thought，imagining hours spent pawing through dusty，rotting boxes and listening to boring stories about people I didn't know. "You'll be surprised，" my mom promised，"Family histories can be very interesting."
     In truth，Grandpa didn't want to limit my work to just research，hoping to also preserve our family memories.He'd discovered a computer program that helps digitally scan old pictures and letters to preserve their contents before they crumble from old age.Grandpa wanted me to help him connect the scanner and set up the computer program.He could type documents and send emails，but had never used a scanner.
     Soon after，I became fascinated with my relatives' lives.I asked Grandpa to tell the story behind every picture and letter we scanned.The stories，which turned out not to be boring at all，helped me not only understand but also relate to my relatives.I became so hungry for more information that Grandpa needed additional props to keep me satisfied.He showed me a chest filled with random stuff，all covered in dust.
     Perusing through their belongings，I felt I was opening a window into the world of my relatives，a world long since gone.Grandpa showed me a bundle of letters he had sent to Grandma from the front lines of World War Ⅱ and I could almost smell the gunpowder.I turned the pages of my great-grandmother's recipe book and could picture her cooking in her kitchen.All of the people who had been merely names to me now had faces to match.
     Later，Grandpa admitted，"I probably could have done this project myself.I just wanted someone to share it with." I can't thank him enough for sharing the experience and making me appreciate the family members who have made me the person I am.I will cherish family memories and hope that someday will be able to pass them down to my own grandchildren.
  
  （1）Which of the following can best describe the author's first impression of research？

  
  A．Delightful.
  B．Tiresome.
  C．Surprising.
  D．Interesting.
  （2）What does the underlined word "crumble" in paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．Come to life.
  B．Tear apart.
  C．Fall to pieces.
  D．Break through.
  （3）Why did Grandpa give the author a chest？

  
  A．To show him a bundle of letters.
  B．To keep him away from boredom.
  C．To give him something to sort out.
  D．To fulfill his desire to know more.
  （4）What can we learn about Grandpa from the passage？

  
  A．He used to serve in the army.
  B．He knew nothing about computer.
  C．He buried the letters under gunpowder.
  D．He loved sharing what he had with others.

• 3．Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） is gaining global popularity．According to a government white paper，TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world．
     Westerners' understanding of TCM，however，may be limited to acupuncture，cupping and massage（按摩）．For instance，the purple，injury-like marks left on US swimmer Michael Phelps' back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016．
     As a matter of fact，Chinese herbs play a more important role in curing diseases and keeping people in good health in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment．It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have approved the practice of acupuncture，not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine．TCM falls far behind Western medicine owning partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs．
     Herbs are made into pills，powder and soup，and the kind of herbs used，their quality and quantity，and the processing of the ingredients（原材料） jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription．Compared with Western medicine，which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods，TCM lacks standardization，with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable．Standardization has improved in recent decades，with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs．
     Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity．While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year，TCM drug producers tend to make medicine according to prescriptions handed down from the past．Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria（疟疾） treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry．However，the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time．
  
  （1）The author mentions the example of Michael Phelps to show that

  ．
  A．he was injured in his swimming
  B．cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment
  C．Westerners know a little about TCM
  D．Westerners attach great importance to TCM
  （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine？

  
  A．Because Chinese herbs can cure diseases．
  B．Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture．
  C．Because Western medicine is more effective．
  D．Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly．
  （3）Compared with Western medicine，what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．The methods of planting herbs．
  B．The effectiveness of prescription．
  C．Lacking in standardization．
  D．Its stable functions．
  （4）The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that

  ．
  A．medicine-making companies lack creativity
  B．prescriptions are got from the past
  C．Western companies are more experienced
  D．medicine-making companies lack driving force
