Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, has an ancient competition with Chongqing, a city to its south-east. Residents of Chongqing accused their Chengdu cousins of being pompous (自大的). The people of Chongqing were hotheads, Chengdu residents shot back. Both cities share a love of spice-laden Sichuan cuisine, which in recent decades has occupied Chinese dinner tables. But they are at war over which has the best Sichuan hotpot—a type of DIY-cooking that involves boiling vegetables and slices of meat with chillies and numbing peppercorns.
A private museum in Chongqing, opened several years ago, makes the case for the Chongqing-style hotpot. It describes how it developed from a method used to make cheap offcuts of meat taste delicious. But Chengdu is playing catch-up. In January the city sold a plot of land on condition that the developer build a hotpot museum on part of it.
The two cities are among many in China with their own styles of hotpot. Hotpot restaurants in China are more profitable than other kinds. Haidilao, a well-known Sichuan-based hotpot chain, raised nearly $1bn when it was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (股票交易所) in September.
Not all Chinese warm to hotpot. Some older Sichuanese refuse to be connected with it. They complain that it is causing overuse of chilli in other dishes that cover up the original genuine flavours.
But Chengdu’s plans for a museum suggest that Sichuan hotpot is not only growing in popularity, but is also becoming symbolic. If it can set the West on fire, officials may hope it will become a delicious new source of Chinese soft power. There will be plenty of glory for both Chengdu and Chongqing to take pride in if that happens.
1.Why are Chengdu and Chongqing competing with each other?
A.Because Chengdu people think Chongqing people are pompous.
B.Because Chengdu residents like to shoot back in battles.
C.Because they both think they are better at eating spicy food.
D.Because they both believe they have the best Sichuan hotpot.
2.What is the purpose of building a hotpot museum in Chengdu?
A.To compete with Chongqing. B.To advertise Sichuan cuisine.
C.To show their love for hotpot. D.To keep the hotpot tradition.
3.What can we infer about hotpot from the last paragraph?
A.The two cities have competed only in recent decades.
B.More hotpot museums will be built in the future.
C.Hotpot is already a source of Chinese soft power.
D.People hold a high expectation for hotpot culture.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Growing Popularity of Hotpot in Two Cities
B.Two Cities’ War Over Tastiest Sichuan Hotpot
C.“No Hotpot, No Happiness” True in Food Business
D.Private Museum in Chongqing Opened First

As the capital of China’s Shanxi Province, Xi’an’s long history was properly summed up by our English-speaking guide：“If Xi’an is the grandmother of cities, Beijing is a youth and Shanghai is just a baby in the womb. ”
However, it was not until 1974, following the chance discovery of the Army of Terracotta Warriors by well-digging farmers, that Xi’an was once again pushed onto the international map. Three decades later, the local government is pouring funds into the tourism sector. Ancient monuments and museums are being restored, and various copies of Buddhist and Tang heritage are being constructed to help Chinese tourists rediscover their national heritage.
One of those ancient monuments is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Xi’an’s most sacred monument-which was built in 652 by the monk Xuanzang, who travelled across India for 18 years and returned with a precious collection of Buddhist sacred texts. In 1966, the Red Guards burnt the pagoda’s scriptures, silk wall hangings and other relics in a bonfire that raged all night. But that destruction has largely been forgotten as tourists flock to the newly restored pagoda. The only original remainders- the empty shell of the seven-storey pagoda-light up at night, standing out in the city’s skyline.
Xi’an is also displaying the glories of the ancient Tang Dynasty, with a 165-acre Tang Paradise Theme Park that is visited by flocks of tourist groups. Although every bit of this Tang heritage is recreated, it is artistically pleasing, landscaped with ponds and lakes, classical garden, bridges, palaces and pavilions. Explore the vast area on a golf cart, hopping on and off to see shortened operas from the Tang Dynasty days, laser shows on the lake, highly structured man-made waterfalls, as well as murals and statues of historical figures, philosophers and poets.
A 36km drive northeast takes you to Xi’an’s most famous attraction, the Army of Terracotta Warriors. They were made to order in 211BC by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi, who used the forced labor of 700,000 subjects to create a mausoleum(陵庙) guarded by an entire army.
1.From the passage we can learn that a large sum of money of the local government in Xi’an is being ploughed into_______.
A. restoring the monuments
B. restoring the Pagoda
C. tourism industry
D. exploring the history
2.How many historical sites in Xi’an have been referred to in the passage？
A. Three B. Four C. One D. Six
3.What can we learn from the third paragraph about the Tang Paradise Theme Park?
A. Visitors are pleased with the survivals from the Tang Dynasty.
B. The natural waterfalls in it are very attractive.
C. It is totally recreated but is artistically pleasant.
D. Visitors can appreciate the full Tang Dynasty operas.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

C. Travel to the Army of Terracotta Warriors.
D. Take a view in the modern city.
