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.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了中国微型艺术家杜毅制作微型房屋的故事，这些微型房屋虽然小，但却唤起了人们在农村生活的回忆，也加深了温暖的亲情。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The stone walls, the yard, clothes hung on a clothesline…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.”可知，石墙、院子、挂在晒衣绳上的衣服……乍一看，你可能以为它们是真的。但事实上，你已经进入了一个由微型艺术家李毅中制作的中国乡村房屋的微型世界。因此微型应是老房子的模型。故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“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.”可知，他的作品被上传至网上受到很多人的喜爱，因此李毅决定做微型房屋是因为他上传视频的点击率。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“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.”可知，空处的内容应承上启下，而后文主要说明了制作模型的难度，因此选项D“但是制作微缩模型并不容易。”符合语境。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“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.”可知，李首先对房子的细节进行了深入的研究；然后，他准备了数百个小块和大约50种真正的建筑材料，如木板、纸、水泥(水泥)；接下来，他使用这些材料来完成迷你模型；最后，他着重于如何使模型看起来很老。故选C。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文可知，文章主要讲述了中国微型艺术家杜毅制作微型房屋的故事，这些微型模型虽然小，但却唤起了人们在农村生活的回忆，也加深了温暖的亲情。因此选项D“小作品，甜蜜回忆”可作为文章的最佳标题。故选D。 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. 36. According to paragraph 2, Hulu Brothers always help others, so you can choose ____________ to draw them. A. B. C. D. 37. What’s Carl like according to paragraph 3? A. Smart and lovely. B. Old and boring. C. Strong and brave. D. Heavy and slow. 38. 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 39. Which of the following is the right structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, . . . ) A. B. C. D. 40. 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. 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了不同的形状代表不同的意义。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape.”可知，英雄、孩子、好人这类卡通人物的身体都是圆形的，因此葫芦兄弟总是帮助他人，说明他们是好人，可以选择圆形画他们。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Squares show things that aren’t natural or man-made and things that are boring or old-fashioned. ... Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses”可知，正方形展示了非自然或人为的东西，以及无聊或陈旧的东西。因此有着方形的脸以及戴着方形眼镜的Carl应是老的，无聊的。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“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.”可知，三角形代表着恐惧、不信任和怀疑，因此怪兽的牙齿及罪犯能够用三角形来画。故选C。 【39题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段引出主题“不同的形状代表不同的事物”；第二、三、四段分别介绍了圆形、正方形及三角形所代表的事物；第五段进行总结。因此文章是总分总的结构。故选A。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Much like colors, different shapes stand for different things.”及全文可知，本文主要讲述了不同的形状代表不同的意义。故选C。 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 ____41____ our free time.

The 2,000-year-old bronze (青铜) art piece was found in 1985 and is now on show at the Shuozhou Museum in Shanxi. _____________ Is this a piece of artwork?

A. are about Chinese culture B. show animal-shaped objects C. are passed down by ancient artists D. can be used in people’s daily life B The stone walls, the yard, clothes hung on a clothesline…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. 31. 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 32. 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. 33. 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. 34. 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 35. 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. 36. According to paragraph 2, Hulu Brothers always help others, so you can choose ____________ to draw them. A. B. C. D. 37. What’s Carl like according to paragraph 3? A. Smart and lovely. B. Old and boring. C. Strong and brave. D. Heavy and slow. 38. 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 39. Which of the following is the right structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, . . . ) A. B. C. D. 40. 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 ____41____ our free time.
