Ⅴ. 阅读理解。
What is your first impression of bamboo in China? Is it only a kind of plant on the food list of pandas? No! It also represents single bamboo drifting(独竹漂), an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) passed from generation to generation among the people in Guizhou Province.
Single bamboo drifting has been performed for a long time. In the past, the ancestors who lived on the bank of the Chishui River used it as a method to go across the river. Now, with the development of modern transportation, this skill has been regarded as a sport or a unique way of performance by local people.
Middle school students of the province practise the sport and compete in the Chinese National Games. The requirements of the sport are simple, yet demanding! Athletes have to balance on a bamboo pole, barely as wide as one's foot, and guide it down the river with a thin stick. But there's more than just guiding. While keeping balance on the narrow bamboo pole with the thin stick, the athletes are performing skills and tricks. Jumping, push-ups, and splits(劈叉) are some of the tricks, whereas those who are more experienced often use their imagination to try out more difficult moves.
Yang Liu, a young "water fairy" from Zunyi, Guizhou, dancing on the river in traditional Chinese costume, is an inheritor(继承人) of single bamboo drifting. For over ten years, combining drifting with dancing, Yang has put fresh energy into this traditional art. It's not easy to stand, let alone dance on a single bamboo. So not surprisingly, Yang has experienced countless falls and failures. Thanks to many people's efforts, single bamboo drifting has gotten great fame on the internet and become well-known in the world.

A. A kind of sport.
B. A way of dance.

D. A type of transportation.
