C Dough figurine making (面人制作) is traditional Chinese art. It has a history of about 2,000 years in China. Though some people said it might vanish, dough figurine makers are still working very hard to keep it alive. Peng Xiaoping is a great dough figurine making artist. He also teaches students about the traditional art. “I pass on not only the skills, but also the experience of running a business (企业),” he said. “If I only teach them how to make the figurines, my students won’t be able to make a living from it, and it will not be possible to pass on the traditional art to more people.” Many young people are interested in the traditional art, but they’re facing many ___19___. There are few professional (专业的) classes teaching students about this art. Also, because of the materials, if dough figurine makers make any mistakes, they can’t fix it easily. Instead, they have to do it all over again. So it can be stressful. Dough figurine making needs great talent, a lot of thinking and practice. Peng believes he can teach the young people in a new way. “My daughter is studying animation design (动画设计) at university so I’m thinking about bringing animation and dough figurines together. Making dough figurine cartoons would be much more exciting than just passing on the art to the young people.” he said. We are excited about the future of the traditional art as dough figurine makers in China continue to look for ways to bring new life to their practice. 19. What does the underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese? A. 传承 B. 消失 C. 分离 D. 改进 20. Why should Peng’s students learn to do business? A. To sell more dough figurines. B. To raise money to save more dying traditions. C. To compete with other dough figurine makers. D. To make a living when passing on the traditional art. 21. The best word for the blank in Paragraph 3 is “ ________ ”. A. changes B. dangers C. results D. difficulties 22. What does the writer think of the future of dough figurine making? A. Exciting. B. Worrying. C. Interesting. D. Uncertain. D Big data (数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns (模式) in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media (媒体) sites, companies, and governments. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go, and how much time they spend on the computer. Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra (额外的) help in class. The teachers can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream. Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict (预测) if a baby who was born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong. How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. Because they think in a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. Then these ideas are used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people. 23. How can schools help students with big data according to Paragraph 2? A. By recording how they get to school. B. By checking if they were born early. C. By finding out who needs extra help. D. By asking what ice cream they buy. 24. Which of the following is TRUE about big data according to the passage? A. It may bring some problems. B. The government can control it very well. C. It is used by hospitals the most. D. People should send photos online to improve it. 25. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 26. What is the writer’s purpose according to the passage? A. To call for good use of big data. B. To teach us how to collect information. C. To ask people to be careful of big data. D. To show what big data is and how it works. 第二节 阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入1~5各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Farming in the USA today is very different from that 100 years ago.

One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the following year. ③Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease（疾病）. Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb（墓）, he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again. ④People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang to the memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi. It became an important part of the local culture. ⑤Zhiyin culture has new development in the new period. The famous ancient Chinese classical（古典的）music piece Gaoshan Liushui was performed during the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 2016. The musical performance not only showed the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, but also expressed China’s willingness to develop its friendship with people from around the world. 11. Why did Boya and Ziqi become good friends? A. They often went out on boat. B. They often cut wood together. C Ziqi could understand Boya’s music. D. They often played music together. 12. From paragraphs ②-③, we can know that _______. A. Boya actually only met Ziqi once B. Boya broke his date with Ziqi at last C. Boya often played the guqin in memory of Ziqi D.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是战国时期的俞伯牙和钟子期知音难求的感人故事，如今，知音文化也在新时期的发展中有了新的作用。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music.”可知当俞伯牙在弹琴的时候，身为樵夫的钟子期刚好路过听到，竟能准确地理解俞伯牙想通过音乐传达的东西，说明钟子期能听懂俞伯牙的音乐。故选C。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease（疾病）.”可知，当俞伯牙要再次拜访钟子期的时候，听闻他已经患病而亡，说明俞伯牙和钟子期事实上只有一面之缘。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段第一句可知“Zhiyin culture has new development in the new period.”知音文化在新时期已经有了新发展，说明第五段主要说明了知音文化在新时期起到新的作用。故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知文章讲述的是俞伯牙痛失知音钟子期的感人故事，由此可悟出“知音难求”的道理。故本文的标题应是“知音难求”。故选B。 【15题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段由“知音”一词引出了俞伯牙和钟子期“知音难求”的典故，这一典故在第二段和第三段做了详细的叙述，第四段叙述了唐朝时期人们修建知音台来纪念这一故事，并使它成为当地的文化。第五段则说明了这一知音文化在新时代的新意义。因此选项B的篇章结构图符合题意。故选B。 B Paris 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Volunteer Program Would you like to make Paris 2024 an unforgettable event? 45,000 volunteers are needed.

It has a history of about 2,000 years in China. Though some people said it might vanish, dough figurine makers are still working very hard to keep it alive. Peng Xiaoping is a great dough figurine making artist. He also teaches students about the traditional art. “I pass on not only the skills, but also the experience of running a business (企业),” he said. “If I only teach them how to make the figurines, my students won’t be able to make a living from it, and it will not be possible to pass on the traditional art to more people.” Many young people are interested in the traditional art, but they’re facing many ___19___. There are few professional (专业的) classes teaching students about this art. Also, because of the materials, if dough figurine makers make any mistakes, they can’t fix it easily. Instead, they have to do it all over again. So it can be stressful. Dough figurine making needs great talent, a lot of thinking and practice. Peng believes he can teach the young people in a new way. “My daughter is studying animation design (动画设计) at university, so I’m thinking about bringing animation and dough figurines together. Making dough figurine cartoons would be much more exciting than just passing on the art to the young people.” he said. We are excited about the future of the traditional art as dough figurine makers in China continue to look for ways to bring new life to their practice. 19 What does the underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese? A. 传承 B. 消失 C. 分离 D. 改进 20. Why should Peng’s students learn to do business? A. To sell more dough figurines. B. To raise money to save more dying traditions. C. To compete with other dough figurine makers. D. To make a living when passing on the traditional art. 21. The best word for the blank in Paragraph 3 is “ ________ ”. A. changes B. dangers C. results D. difficulties 22. What does the writer think of the future of dough figurine making? A. Exciting. B. Worrying. C. Interesting. D. Uncertain. 【答案】19. B 20. D 21. D 22. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了面人制作这项传统艺术所面临的问题以及面粉制作艺术家彭小平传授这项艺术的一些情况。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Though some people said it might vanish, dough figurine makers are still working very hard to keep it alive.”可知，尽管有人说它可能会……，但面人制作者仍在努力让它存活，vanish的含义应与alive含义相反，alive“存活”，因此可推知vanish意为“消失”。故选B。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据“he said. ‘If I only teach them how to make the figurines, my students won’t be able to make a living from it, and it will not be possible to pass on the traditional art to more people.’”可知，彭小平的学生做生意应是在传承传统艺术的同时谋生。故选D。 【21题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“There are few professional (专业的) classes teaching students about this art. Also, because of the materials, if dough figurine makers make any mistakes, they can’t fix it easily. Instead, they have to do it all over again. So it can be stressful. Dough figurine making needs great talent, a lot of thinking and practice.”可知，空后列举了面人制作所面临的多种困难，例如很少有专业课程教学生这种艺术；由于材料的原因，如果面塑师犯了任何错误，他们很难修复，必须重新开始。因此合适填入空处的应是单词difficulties“困难”。故选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据“We are excited about the future of the traditional art as dough figurine makers in China continue to look for ways to bring new life to their practice.”可知，我们对传统艺术的未来感到兴奋，因为中国的面人制作者继续寻找为他们的实践带来新生命的方法。因此可推知作者对面人制作的未来应是觉得兴奋的。故选A。 D Big data (数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns (模式) in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media (媒体) sites, companies, and governments. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go, and how much time they spend on the computer. Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra (额外的) help in class. The teachers can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream. Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict (预测) if a baby who was born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong. How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. Because they think in a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. Then these ideas are used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people. 23. How can schools help students with big data according to Paragraph 2? A. By recording how they get to school. B. By checking if they were born early. C. By finding out who needs extra help. D. By asking what ice cream they buy. 24 Which of the following is TRUE about big data according to the passage? A. It may bring some problems. B. The government can control it very well. C. It is used by hospitals the most. D. People should send photos online to improve it. 25. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 26. What is the writer’s purpose according to the passage? A. To call for good use of big data. B. To teach us how to collect information. C. To ask people to be careful of big data. D. To show what big data is and how it works. 【答案】23. C 24. A 25. D 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了大数据的相关信息，包括其定义、来源、应用以及可能带来的问题。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra (额外的) help in class. The teachers can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school.”可知，学校可以通过大数据了解哪些孩子在课堂上可能需要额外的帮助，然后给予这些学生更多的帮助或支持，使其在学校取得成功。故选C。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.”可知，大数据也可能被用于不好的原因，它可以被用来预测哪些人可能会违法或伤害他人，即使他们没有做错任何事情。所以大数据可能会带来一些问题，故选A。 【25题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段介绍了大数据的定义和来源；第二段讲述了大数据在政府、学校和公司等方面的应用；第三段和第四段说明了大数据可以用于好的和坏的方面，并解释了原因。因此，文章的结构是分总，故选D。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了大数据的定义、来源、应用以及可能带来的问题，目的是展示大数据是什么以及它是如何工作的，故选D。 第二节 阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入1~5各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Farming in the USA today is very different from that 100 years ago.
