The city of Yangzhou came into being at the Spring and Autumn Period ( about 500 AC ).
As the key transportation link at joint (連接處) place of the Great Canal（運河）( Beijing-Hangzhou) and Changjiang (Yangtze River), Yangzhou has been from the Sui Dynasty (600 AD.) an economically rich city, and then reached its top in the Tang Dynasty. At that time Yangzhou was a famous port and one of few biggest cities in East Asia.
With the improvement of the local economy and easy transportation way, there happened in the history a special local culture, which has an important place in Chinese culture. Many famous men of letters, poets, artists, scholars (學者), statesmen, scientists and national heroes in the history were born in, lived in or had connection with Yangzhou. Li Bai, one of the greatest Chinese poets visited and stayed in Yangzhou several times in his life and one of his famous poems about Yangzhou has been so popular that Chinese of all ages can sing it and has become a symbol of Yangzhou . Zheng Banqiao, a famous Chinese painting painter in the Qing Dynasty heading a group called “Eight Eccentrics”, had strongly influenced Chinese paintings. Wang Zhong and Yuan Yuan and some other scholars formed school of Yangzhou Scholars and achieved great success in the study of classic Chinese and writing. Zhu Ziqing, one of most famous modern Chinese writers and scholars, had always been proud of himself as a native of Yangzhou and thanked the city for being nourished (養(yǎng)育) by its rich culture. Quite a few other names you may come across frequently (頻繁地) in the study of Chinese culture and history have connection with Yangzhou. Yangzhou was so attractive and important that many Chinese emperors in history had come specially to visit or check the city.

Two Chinese spacecrafts successfully completed China’s first space docking (對接) early November 3, 2011, which has taken the country a step closer to building its own space station.

Nearly two days after its launch, the unmanned spacecraft Shenzhou VIII docked with the space lab module Tiangong I more than 343 km above the earth surface. Shenzhou VIII and Tiangong I took apart after flying together for 12 days. On the 14th of November, the two spacecrafts finished the second docking. Then Shenzhou VIII parted from Tiangong I again and returned to the earth safely on the 17th. Tiangong I is still traveling around the earth in the space, waiting for the arrival of Shenzhou IX and X and so on in the near future.
That marked another great leap for China’s space program and made China the third country in the world, after the United States and Russia, master the space docking technique (空間對接技術).
The world’s first space docking was achieved in 1966, when the manned U.S, spacecraft Gemini 8 docked with an unmanned Agena Target Vehicle. Space docking is necessary to explore space beyond Earth’s orbit (軌道). “The capability increases China’s ability to act independently in space, as well as its ability to work together with others,” said Gregory Kulacki, a U.S. space scientist and senior analyst.
“With the success of its first space docking, China is now equipped with the basic technology and ability required for the construction of a space station,” said Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China’s manned space program.” The country is on its way to building a permanent manned space station around 2020.”
小題1:What did the success of the first space docking mean to China?
A．China has caught up with the United States in the space exploration field.
B．China took a step closer to building its own space station.
C．China became the first country to master the space docking technique.
D．China has the ability to build a permanent manned space station right now.
小題2:What does the underlined word “That” in the third paragraph refer to?
A．Shenzhou VIII
B．Tiangong I
C．The Space Station
D．The success of China’s first space docking
小題3:What can we learn from the passage? 
A．Tiangong I will fly in the space for 12 days.
B．The first space docking of the world was achieved in 1966, by Russians.
C．Without space docking technique people can’t explore space beyond Earth’s orbit.
D．The U.S.A helped China achieve the first space docking.
小題4:Which of the following statements is Not True?
A．Shenzhou VIII docked with the space lab module Tiangong I on November 3, 2011
B．Shenzhou VIII returned to the earth safely on November 17, 2011.
C．The USA , Russia and China have mastered the space docking technique
D．Tiangong I is still traveling around the earth, waiting for the arrival of Shenzhou IX and X around 2020.
小題5:What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The first space docking of China.
B．The history of space docking.
C．The first space docking of the world.
D．The space docking technique
