At the first sight, you may think they’re real. But in fact, you’ve fallen into a world of miniatures of Chinese houses in the countryside made by a miniature artist—Li Yizhong. Li used to be a building sculptor (雕塑师) in Jinan. His friend once asked Li to make a miniature of his childhood home. The artist posted a video of his finished product on the Internet. To his surprise, many people expressed their love for his work. From then on, Li decided to make miniature homes for others. Growing up in a farming family, he knew so well about everything in his hometown that many of his works remind him of these beautiful memories. ★ It usually takes one to two months to complete one model. Each model is made in the ratio (比例) of 1: 30 to the home’s real size. To better remake the old house, Li first makes a deep research about the details of the house. Then, he prepares hundreds of small pieces and about 50 real building materials, such as wood board, paper, and cement (水泥). Next, he uses those materials to complete the mini model. Finally, he focuses on how to make the model look old. Those lively miniatures call up people’s memories living in the countryside and deepen the warm family love as well. 56. According to the passage, the miniatures are ____________. A. models of old houses B. places for people to live in C. the buildings in the country D. an artist’s childhood homes 57. What made Li decide to make miniature homes? A. His childhood memories. B. His love for his work. C. The hit of his posted video. D. Many people’s surprise. 58. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. He spent much money on them. B. How he misses the old days! C. His works are popular with the old. D. But making miniatures is not easy. 59. What are the steps of Li’s remaking the old house? ①making the model look aged ②doing enough research ③working on building the model ④choosing proper materials A. ④①②③ B. ②①④③ C. ②4③① D. ③②①④ 60. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Success of Li Yizhong B. Old Buildings, New Challenges C. Story of the Childhood D. Small Works, Sweet Memories C Can you see circles, squares and triangles (三角形) in your daily life? Have you thought about their meanings? Much like colors, different shapes stand for different things. Circles stand for things that are soft and natural. The round shape is connected with things in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces. All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people— are round in shape. Squares show things that aren’t natural or man-made and things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up (《飞屋环游记》) , Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals because he’s lovely and full of energy. These shapes show what the characters are like. The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape stands for fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons— they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are not easily fallen down. Bad people are also difficult to do with. Not only in cartoons, but in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know the characters well. 61. According to paragraph 1, Hulu Brothers always help others, you can choose ____________ to draw them. 62. What’s Carl like according to paragraph 3? A. Smart and lovely. B. Old and boring. C. Strong and brave. D. Heavy and slow. 63. What things can be drawn with the triangle? a. Ne Zha b. monsters’ teeth c. the moon d. criminals A. a and b B. a and c C. b and d D. c and d 64. Which of the following is the right structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, . . . ) 65. What is the passage mainly about? A. Shapes in our daily life. B. Different characters in films. C. Meanings of different shapes. D. Ways of drawing cartoon characters. 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题共40分) 五、词与短语填空 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，然后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) spend / possible / proud / kinds / develop / made progress / visited Visiting museums has become one of the most popular ways for us students to _____________ (66) our free time.
