As the government encourages the renaissance(复兴)of traditional culture,hanfu is getting more and more popular with the teenagers.Every year,we can enjoy different hanfu shows around the cities.These shows bring us back to Han dynasty.We learn more about the history,culture and beauty from them.
Hanfu hasn't been in the same style since Han dynasty.However,this kind of clothes has something in common.They all have large soft robes(袍子),with sleeves that hang down to the knees,so the hands can't be seen.
In modern China,the hanfu lovers are from history fans,cartoon fans to clothes fans.

三、任务型阅读-简答(本大题共1小题,共9.0分)
22.A small bee flying from flower to flower is very important to the world.Bees pollinate(对…授粉)the crops and help them grow.
Now billions of bees all over the world are dying,and no one really knows why. This is a disaster(灾难)for the world.Many things would change without bees.
Thousands of bees have flown away from their hives and disappeared.
Scientists and beekeepers are trying to solve the mystery(谜)of the disappearing bees.
Some scientists have examined dead bees.They have found that the bees are not very healthy at all.Scientists think that one reason bees are dying is because of mites.Mites are tiny insects that cling onto bees.The mites can make the bees get sick and die.Mites can destroy a whole beehive.Some scientists think that bees are disappearing because they have been poisoned(中毒).Farmers spray their crops to kill insects that are eating the plants.These sprays can make bees sick.Bees also may not be getting enough food to stay
strong.Climate change might mean the flowers open before the bees have woken from their winter sleep.Then the bees don't get that nectar(花蜜)and pollen that they need.
It's very hard for scientists to find out why bees are dying all over the world.Most bees die away from their hives.So scientists don't have a dead body to look at for clues.
It is very important for scientists to learn about how healthy bees are.
Everything must be done to the bees in trouble.
