It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea. Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品). Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo, a coating of Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make each umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China (中国非物质文化遗产名录). A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life.” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to promote (推广) the art. 54. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. The history of oil paper umbrellas. B.

Why did Liu Weixue learn the art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas? A. Because he couldn’t find a better job. B. Because he wanted to bring the art to life. C. Because young people liked the fashion. D. Because his grandfather told him to learn. 57. Which part of a magazine is the passage probably from? A. Culture. B. Medicine. C. Music. D. Sports. 【答案】54. A 55. C 56. B 57. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国传统手工艺品油纸伞的历史、制作工艺及其传承人刘伟学如何改进和推广这一传统艺术。 【54题详解】 段落大意题。根据“The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft (手工艺品).

Where did the water go? It goes into the air! Each drop of water is made of tiny droplets (小水滴). When the sun warms them, they rise and become part of the air. However, do you know how rain is formed? High in the sky, the air is cooler. As the water in the air cools, it changes back into droplets. They get together to make clouds. In the clouds, many, many droplets get together and grow bigger. When they are heavy enough, they fall from the sky as raindrops, or—if it’s very cold—snowflakes (雪花)! The water we have on Earth now has been moving and changing forever! Rain falls almost everywhere on Earth. One of the world’s rainiest places is Mount Waialeale in Hawaii. It rains about 350 days a year there. One of the driest places on Earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile. It has not rained in some part of this desert in hundreds of years. 58. Where does the water in the pond go in hot summer? A. Into the river. B. Into the lakes. C. Into the air. D. Into the earth. 59.

His wife was called Polly and they had two children, a boy called Harry and a little girl called Dolly. The Barkers were a very happy family. Jerry had a cab of his own and two horses. His other horse was a tall, white, large-boned animal called “Captain”. He was old now. I never knew a better man than my new master. He liked singing to himself. One of the songs was this: “Come, father and mother, And sister and brother, Come, all of you, turn to, And help one another.” And so they did. Polly and Dolly used to come in the morning to help with the cab while Jerry was giving us a cleaning in the yard, and Harry was rubbing the harness (擦马具). The next morning Harry and Dolly came into the yard to see me. I loved it when they patted me and spoke in gentle voices. “Let’s call him ‘Jack’, shall we, Harry?” said Dolly. “Yes, Let’s!” said Harry. The first week of my life as Jack, the London cab horse was very hard. The noise and the people and the traffic on the streets frightened me. But Jerry was a very good driver, and that helped a lot. Jerry soon found that I was ready to work hard and do my best, and he didn’t whip me. He kept us very clean, and gave us as much food as we wanted. But the best thing was that we had Sundays off.

In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea. Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品). Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo, a coating of Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make each umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China (中国非物质文化遗产名录). A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life.” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to promote (推广) the art. 54. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. The history of oil paper umbrellas. B. The styles of oil paper umbrellas. C. The design of oil paper umbrellas. D. The ways of using oil paper umbrellas. 55. What is an oil paper umbrella mainly made of according to the passage? A. Wool, bamboo and a coating of Tung oil. B. Plastic, bamboo and a coating of Tung oil. C. Skin paper, bamboo and a coating of Tung oil. D. Leather, bamboo and a coating of Tung oil. 56 Why did Liu Weixue learn the art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas? A. Because he couldn’t find a better job. B. Because he wanted to bring the art to life. C. Because young people liked the fashion. D. Because his grandfather told him to learn. 57. Which part of a magazine is the passage probably from? A. Culture. B. Medicine. C. Music. D. Sports. C On a hot summer day, you find the pond (池塘) has almost dried up. Where did the water go? It goes into the air! Each drop of water is made of tiny droplets (小水滴). When the sun warms them, they rise and become part of the air. However, do you know how rain is formed? High in the sky, the air is cooler. As the water in the air cools, it changes back into droplets. They get together to make clouds. In the clouds, many, many droplets get together and grow bigger. When they are heavy enough, they fall from the sky as raindrops, or—if it’s very cold—snowflakes (雪花)! The water we have on Earth now has been moving and changing forever! Rain falls almost everywhere on Earth. One of the world’s rainiest places is Mount Waialeale in Hawaii. It rains about 350 days a year there. One of the driest places on Earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile. It has not rained in some part of this desert in hundreds of years. 58. Where does the water in the pond go in hot summer? A. Into the river. B. Into the lakes. C. Into the air. D. Into the earth. 59. If droplets in the clouds are heavy enough and it is very cold, they fall from the sky as ______. A. raindrops B. snowflakes C. pond D. water cycle 60. What do you know about the Mount Waialeale in Hawaii? A. It never rains. B. It is one of the driest places on Earth. C. It is one of the coldest places in the world. D. It rains about 350 days a year. D My new master’s name was Jeremiah Barker, but everyone called him Jerry. His wife was called Polly and they had two children, a boy called Harry and a little girl called Dolly. The Barkers were a very happy family. Jerry had a cab of his own and two horses. His other horse was a tall, white, large-boned animal called “Captain”. He was old now. I never knew a better man than my new master. He liked singing to himself. One of the songs was this: “Come, father and mother, And sister and brother, Come, all of you, turn to, And help one another.” And so they did. Polly and Dolly used to come in the morning to help with the cab while Jerry was giving us a cleaning in the yard, and Harry was rubbing the harness (擦马具). The next morning Harry and Dolly came into the yard to see me. I loved it when they patted me and spoke in gentle voices. “Let’s call him ‘Jack’, shall we, Harry?” said Dolly. “Yes, Let’s!” said Harry. The first week of my life as Jack, the London cab horse was very hard. The noise and the people and the traffic on the streets frightened me. But Jerry was a very good driver, and that helped a lot. Jerry soon found that I was ready to work hard and do my best, and he didn’t whip me. He kept us very clean, and gave us as much food as we wanted. But the best thing was that we had Sundays off.
