When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets(皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.
Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather(皮) or paper, accompanied(伴奏) by music and singing. It was invented during the Western Han Dynasty. It tells us about folk tales and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.
Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua county, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.
Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets including washing the leather, carving(雕刻) and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.
“We have a special carving skill—moving the leather under the knife, ” Wang said. It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick(砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3, 000 carvings to make a shadow puppet. “The complex (复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art, ” she said.
But Wang has found a way to do so. In recent years, she has made shadow puppets based on some cartoon series and given a livestreaming performance. She used colors like blue and purple that were hardly seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance more lively. “I hope more and more young people enjoy shadow puppetry and pass it down, ” she said.
( D )19. Making the puppets includes the following steps except ________.
A. painting
B. carving
C. washing the leather
D. making bricks
( A )20. What does the underlined phrase “hand down” mean in the fifth paragraph?

A. She learned all by herself to make shadow puppets.
B. She didn’t master the carving skill until she was 43.

Then one day I watched an English movie 2. named (name) Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning.

七、阅读表达(共5 小题, 计10分)
阅读短文, 根据要求完成文后的题目。
Are you happy most of the time? Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a different temperament(脾气). It is usually believed that both genes(基因)and environment may influence people’s temperaments in different ways. Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role.
Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students needed to finish some questions to know which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questions, scientists found that the students always answered something like “my mood(心情) often changes for no reason” and “I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky. ” These answers were then connected with their birthdays.
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.
The study also found that those born in fall less probably had a mood of sadness which may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals(化学物质) in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life. “It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your change of developing certain mood disorders, ” scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.
1. What probably can affect people’s temperaments according to Paragraph 1? (no more than 10 words)
Genes, environment and the season of the birth.
2. What are the characteristics about people who were born in fall? (no more than 15 words)
They less probably had a mood of sadness which may easily drive them to cry.
3. Why do scientists think the seasons of the birth influence people’s temperaments? (no more than 31 words)
Because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life.
4. 请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语。
他们发现, 与冬季出生的人相比, 夏季出生的人的心情容易在悲伤与欢喜之间徘徊(变化)。
5. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。
The season of the birth also influences people’s temperaments.
