Later, with the endless development, the different cultures of kites were slowly formed in both eastern and western countries. During the kites development, some special local culture about kites formed after connecting with Chinese traditional culture and the skill of making kites and presenting some stories, flowers, birds, animals, and some patterns about luck on kites.At first, kites were used in military things. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the society began to develop well, so kites were used in the area of entertainment instead of in military things. Besides, the material for making kites was silk at first. Later, people used paper to make kites because of the fast development of paper. When the Song Dynasty came, it had become a job to make kites. And it was during the period of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty that the skill of making kites developed fast. At that time, people made kites and painted on the kites by themselves and then flew those kites or gave them to their relatives and friends. Whats more, they thought this as an artistic activity. Recently, kites in China have been fully developed and flying kites has widely spread as a popular sport.（1）How many years have the kites developed in China?A . For over two hundred yearsB .

If we want to know more about society, we can look at traditional clothing.The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress. You often find three colors red, gold and green in the clothing. The first color stands for the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves(奴隶), the second is for the rich resources of the African earth, and the third represents the grasslands of home.The patterns on the clothing also have a meaning. A common pattern is in the form of a cross “”, which stands for “unity”. Another pattern is a rectangular（矩形） box, which represents “strength”.Because clothing has a strong social meaning, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing, or to wear clothes in the wrong way. For instance, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband differently according to the importance of the social event.Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs are famous for loose(宽松的) clothing. The climate, with the hot sun and wide temperature ranges(变化), requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.Although many people wear western clothes, particularly in the big cities in Africa, traditional dress is very highly valued(评价). This is because it has deep cultural meanings.（1）What is the passage mainly about ? A . The history of African clothesB . The cultural traditions of African dressC . African modern fashion stylesD .

A . age and place in societyB . style and place in societyC . personality and ageD . height and weight（3）According to the passage, red _.
