But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? Tie-dye was a way to do this. More than 1, 000 years ago, the Bai ethnic group (白族) in Yunnan used tie-dye to dye their clothes. During the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties, this technique became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor as gifts. To tie-dye, you need to first use thread (线), rope or other tools to tie, sew (缝), or clip (夹) your cloth together. The folded (折叠的) cloth is then put in dye. The Bai people usually make blue dye from a plant. As the cloth is folded, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you unfold the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. In the 1960s, tie-dye became a fashion trend in the US. People tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans in imaginative ways. Many children in the US still learn tie-dye in their art classes. At Dior’s spring 2019 show, Italian designer Maria Grazia Chiuri surprised people with a series of tie-dye dresses. “Tie-dye is like an experimentation, ” Chiuri said. “ It’s a surprise, a spectacle (奇观). ” It seems that the tie-dye trend has never really gone away.   1. When was tie-dye added to the national intangible cultural heritage list? (no more than 4 words) 2. Why was tie-dye selected?(no more than 10 words) 3. How can we prevent tie-dye from disappearing?(no more than 8 words) 4. 请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语。 5. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。 八、写作(共1小题, 计15分) (2023·天津中考) 假如你是某中学学生李华, 最近你班发生了一件令人感动的事情。请根据以下提示, 给你的英国好友 Tom 写一封信, 与他分享你的感动。 (1)两周前同学王红伤了左腿。 (2)王红上下楼很困难, 但想来学校上课。 (3)校长知道后, 决定将你们班从四楼搬到一楼。 (4)你们帮助王红(如买午饭等)。 (5)你认为…… 要求: (1)词数: 80~100 个。 (2)开头和结尾已给出, 不计入总词数。 (3)要点齐全, 行文连贯, 可适当发挥。 Dear Tom, How are you?

Yours, Li Hua 阅读理解 (2023·山东菏泽中考) Think about what you like to wear on the weekend. There’s a good chance that you like to put on a pair of blue jeans. At any moment, about half of the world’s population is wearing jeans. But according to a new study, our love for jeans may be bad for Earth. Denim(牛仔布) might be putting some sea animals in danger. Every time we wash our jeans, tiny bits of denim will flow out of our washing machines, down into the world’s rivers, lakes and oceans. You might wonder: Isn’t denim made of cotton, a natural material? How can it become a danger to nature? Well, in the process of making jeans, denim is treated with many types of man-made chemicals. Some improve its durability(耐用性) and feel; others give jeans their blue color. Scientists studied the Great Lakes in America and the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. They found denim waste in all of the samples(样本) they had collected. It is feared that the harmful chemicals in denim have spread far and wide. Scientists aren’t yet sure how these chemicals might harm animals. In the study, the scientists also washed jeans to see how many bits of denim each pair would drop per wash. The answer was frightening: About 50, 000. Not all of them make their way into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants hold back 83 to 99 percent of them. This may sound pretty good, However, one percent of 50, 000 bits are still 500 per wash. Now think about the number of jeans around the world and the times each of them gets washed. As a result, a large amount of denim waste still gets into the environment. Does this mean we shouldn’t wear jeans? Probably not. “We need to buy fewer jeans and only wash them when we truly need to do it, ” says Sam Athey, one of the scientists. “You don’t need to wash your jeans after having worn them only a couple of times. ” (　)1. What influence might denim have on sea animals? A. It might do harm to some sea animals. B. It has no influence on sea animals. C. It is good to all the sea animals. D. It must do harm to all sea animals. (　)2. Why do people add man-made chemicals when making jeans? ①To save the materials and make more money. ②To improve denim’s durability and feel. ③To make jeans blue. ④To save money A. ①②　 B. ①③　 C. ②③　 D. ①④ (　)3. How many bits of denim might get into the environment every year? A. Five hundred. B. Fifty thousand. C. Too many to count. D. Fifteen hundred. (　)4. What should we do according to Sam Athey’s words? A. We are not supposed to wear jeans. B. We need to wash our jeans every day. C. Jeans shouldn’t be produced. D. We should Tbuy fewer jeans and wash them fewer times. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 素质评价(三)(Unit 3) (120分钟　100分) 第Ⅰ卷(选择题　共45分) 一、听力选择(共15小题, 计15分) (一)请听录音中八组短对话。每组对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中, 选出与对话内容相符的图片或能回答所给问题的最佳答案。(每组对话读两遍) 1.

Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland. 　　Carson’s career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. In 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists. 　　Carson’s book Silent Spring completely changed the way American thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America’s Environmental Protection Agency. 　　Since her death, Carson’s name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection.

But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? Tie-dye was a way to do this. More than 1, 000 years ago, the Bai ethnic group (白族) in Yunnan used tie-dye to dye their clothes. During the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties, this technique became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor as gifts. To tie-dye, you need to first use thread (线), rope or other tools to tie, sew (缝), or clip (夹) your cloth together. The folded (折叠的) cloth is then put in dye. The Bai people usually make blue dye from a plant. As the cloth is folded, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you unfold the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. In the 1960s, tie-dye became a fashion trend in the US. People tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans in imaginative ways. Many children in the US still learn tie-dye in their art classes. At Dior’s spring 2019 show, Italian designer Maria Grazia Chiuri surprised people with a series of tie-dye dresses. “Tie-dye is like an experimentation, ” Chiuri said. “Its creative process is a sort of unpredictable (难以预测的) performance, right until the very end. It’s a surprise, a spectacle (奇观). ” It seems that the tie-dye trend has never really gone away.   1. When was tie-dye added to the national intangible cultural heritage list? (no more than 4 words) In 2006.   2. Why was tie-dye selected?(no more than 10 words) Because it’s special for beautiful and unique patterns.   3.

Yours, Li Hua 阅读理解 (2023·山东菏泽中考) Think about what you like to wear on the weekend. There’s a good chance that you like to put on a pair of blue jeans. At any moment, about half of the world’s population is wearing jeans. But according to a new study, our love for jeans may be bad for Earth. Denim(牛仔布) might be putting some sea animals in danger. Every time we wash our jeans, tiny bits of denim will flow out of our washing machines, down into the world’s rivers, lakes and oceans. You might wonder: Isn’t denim made of cotton, a natural material? How can it become a danger to nature? Well, in the process of making jeans, denim is treated with many types of man-made chemicals. Some improve its durability(耐用性) and feel; others give jeans their blue color. Scientists studied the Great Lakes in America and the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. They found denim waste in all of the samples(样本) they had collected. It is feared that the harmful chemicals in denim have spread far and wide. Scientists aren’t yet sure how these chemicals might harm animals. In the study, the scientists also washed jeans to see how many bits of denim each pair would drop per wash. The answer was frightening: About 50, 000. Not all of them make their way into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants hold back 83 to 99 percent of them. This may sound pretty good, However, one percent of 50, 000 bits are still 500 per wash. Now think about the number of jeans around the world and the times each of them gets washed. As a result, a large amount of denim waste still gets into the environment. Does this mean we shouldn’t wear jeans? Probably not. “We need to buy fewer jeans and only wash them when we truly need to do it, ” says Sam Athey, one of the scientists. “You don’t need to wash your jeans after having worn them only a couple of times. ” (　A　)1. What influence might denim have on sea animals? A. It might do harm to some sea animals. B. It has no influence on sea animals. C. It is good to all the sea animals. D. It must do harm to all sea animals. (　C　)2. Why do people add man-made chemicals when making jeans? ①To save the materials and make more money. ②To improve denim’s durability and feel. ③To make jeans blue. ④To save money A. ①②　 B. ①③　 C. ②③　 D. ①④ (　C　)3. How many bits of denim might get into the environment every year? A. Five hundred. B. Fifty thousand. C. Too many to count. D. Fifteen hundred. (　D　)4. What should we do according to Sam Athey’s words? A. We are not supposed to wear jeans. B. We need to wash our jeans every day. C. Jeans shouldn’t be produced. D. We should Tbuy fewer jeans and wash them fewer times. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
