The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft. It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. 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, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily. 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, including making bamboo ribs, pasting papers and painting patterns. It takes at least a week to make per umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China.
A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang 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 the art.

A. The history of oil paper umbrellas.
B. The styles of oil paper umbrellas.

28. 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.
29. Which part of a magazine is the passage probably from?

Laurence Kim Peek was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on November 11,1951. It was clear from an early age that he was not like other children. A medical scan (扫描) showed that the two halves of his brain were not connected in the usual way. As a result, Laurence developed an amazing memory. He started to read when he was two. He used to read books and put them back on the shelf upside down to show that he had finished them. He remembered everything he had read.
He memorized quite a lot of information on subjects such as history. geography, sports, music and literature. He also had an unbelievable ability with numbers and dates.
To read more quickly, he read the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye. By reading the two pages at the same time, it took him less than an hour to read a whole book. By the age of 30, he had memorized around 12,000 books.
However, he did not develop so well in other areas. He could not walk until he was four, and he had problems putting on his clothes and shoes. His social skills were poor, and he was extremely sensitive (敏感的) about meeting new people. In 1984, Peek and his father met Hollywood movie writer Barry Morrow. Morrow was fascinated by Peek and began to write a new play about Peek’s experiences. The result was Rain Man, a movie that won an Oscar for Best Picture in 1988. This changed Peek’s life. He got used to being the center of the public. He built up more self-confidence. He appeared on TV and traveled around the country with his father to develop awareness of his condition. Sadly, Peek died of a heart attack in 2009.

C. Ways of becoming famous D. An unbelievable movie actor
D
It’s impossible for my children to read this, which is lucky for me, because it would give them support for the argument “Can we get a dog or a cat?” Because the research suggests that having one is good for children.
A study published shows that children who had a dog in their first year of life were 13% less likely to develop asthma (哮喘) by the time they were six than those from dog-free families. It is believed that children are more likely to develop allergies (过敏) if they grow up in super-clean environments. This study shows other reasons that increase the risk of asthma, but can still show only an association (联系).
It is reported that 46% of families in the UK have pets, with dogs and then cats the most common animals. The evidence which shows the advantages of having cats is not always the same, but some research still shows that pets make children healthier. A study of 397 Finnish babies in 2012 found that during their first year of life, those whose parents had dogs or cats had fewer colds than those from homes without pets. Dogs offered more protection than cats. The researchers think this is because they brought in more dirt from outside to cause the babies’ immune systems (免疫系统) to work well.
The research also shows that having a pet may make children feel more popular and be more understanding. Older studies found that pets make family members spend more time together and have more “entertainment” they offered as well.
Pets can also help children to learn about responsibility, brush the fur, clean the place they sleep, feed them, take more exercise (if you get a dog) and deal with loss—who can forget when their family pet got a car accident?
In a word, keeping pets is really good for improving children’s health and their qualities. However, I still won’t allow my children to keep a pet at home. After all, both dogs and cats poop (排泄) at home, and they can carry worms or other viruses. Also, it seems that few children look after the animals, they repeatedly asked their parents for help.
34. According to some research, having a pet makes children healthier because ________.
A. they aren’t likely to develop asthma B. they live in a super-clean environment
C. pets can protect them from danger D. dirt makes them guard against the disease better
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. There is no good reason for having pets. B. Having pets also has its disadvantages.
C. Children share the care of pets with parents. D. Pets may bring happiness to children.
36. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Why can pets make parents healthier? B. Will having a pet make your parents sick?
C. Does a pet bring more happiness? D. Is keeping a pet really good for your children?
37. What best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
E
As we know, it is not easy to build a satellite. Building a traditional satellite normally takes years. The costs can be as high as $250 million or more. Most members of the design teams have worked in the field for a long time. They hold degrees in math, science, or engineering.
But things are changing. High costs, unusual educational requirements and long start-up times are no longer an obstacle to space exploration. The scientists at Stanford University have developed a new type of tiny, inexpensive earth-orbiting satellites that go from ideas to launch (发射) in a year.
So far, college students have built and launched several cube-shaped satellites, or Cube Sats. At least 15 more are ready to go. Those already in orbit (轨道) take pictures, collect information and send it back to the earth, just as regular satellites do.
But you might not even have to wait until you get to college to start designing and building your own satellite. A new program called Katy Sat aims to get teenagers to take part. Once kids understand what satellites can do, says Ben Yuan, an engineer at Lockheed Martin in Menlo Park, Calif, the kinds of applications (应用) they’ll come up with may be countless.
“We’d like to put this technology in your hands.” he tells kids. “We’re going to teach you how to operate a satellite. Then we want to turn it over to you as a sandbox for you to play in. We want you to take the technology into new directions that we haven’t though of yet.”
Education isn’t the only goal of Cube Sats. Because these tiny, technology-filled boxes are relatively inexpensive to build and can be put together quickly, they’re perfect for testing new technologies that might one day be used on major space tasks.
The biggest challenge now is to find ways to bring the satellites back to the earth after a year or two. Otherwise, major highways of space junk rubbish could increase as CubeSats become more common.
Nowadays, college and high school students are getting a chance to learn what it takes to explore in space. Someday perhaps a lot sooner than you imagine—you might get to design, build and launch your own satellite. If you do, you’re sure to have fun. And you might also get crazy about science for life.
38. Compared with the traditional ones, the new satellites ________.
A. need long start-up times B. are low-cost and small-sized
C. are very hard to operate D. collect more information in orbit
39. What does the underlined word “obstacle” probably mean?
A. An aim to achieve in the near future. B. An imagination that kids usually have.
C. Something dangerous to make people scared. D. Something difficult that stands in the way.
40. According to the passage, which of the following is True?
A. CubeSats could possibly cause pollution in space.
B. A few kids will send applications for the project.
C. Scientists designed CubeSats for kids to play with.
D. Students can’t design satellites without college education.
41. What’s the purpose of the author writing the passage?
A. To show that high technology brings a big change in kids’ life.
B. To show that kids lead the space research into a new direction.
C. To tell us that satellite technology can also be learned by kids.
D. To tell us that kids have mastered the satellite technology.

Over the years, there have been a number of different skills to help designers achieve this important point. ____43____, they can get a little complex (复杂的).

____44____. They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the important benefit (利益) of being easily changeable.
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways. They need a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.
The large color decisions in your rooms concern (涉及) the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and cost are important. ____45____.
A Although all of them are useful

The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft. It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. 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, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily. 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, including making bamboo ribs, pasting papers and painting patterns. It takes at least a week to make per umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China.
A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang 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 the art.

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.

Laurence Kim Peek was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on November 11,1951. It was clear from an early age that he was not like other children. A medical scan (扫描) showed that the two halves of his brain were not connected in the usual way. As a result, Laurence developed an amazing memory. He started to read when he was two.

However, he did not develop so well in other areas. He could not walk until he was four, and he had problems putting on his clothes and shoes. His social skills were poor, and he was extremely sensitive (敏感的) about meeting new people. In 1984, Peek and his father met Hollywood movie writer Barry Morrow. Morrow was fascinated by Peek and began to write a new play about Peek’s experiences. The result was Rain Man, a movie that won an Oscar for Best Picture in 1988. This changed Peek’s life.

It’s impossible for my children to read this, which is lucky for me, because it would give them support for the argument “Can we get a dog or a cat?” Because the research suggests that having one is good for children.
A study published shows that children who had a dog in their first year of life were 13% less likely to develop asthma (哮喘) by the time they were six than those from dog-free families. It is believed that children are more likely to develop allergies (过敏) if they grow up in super-clean environments. This study shows other reasons that increase the risk of asthma, but can still show only an association (联系).
It is reported that 46% of families in the UK have pets, with dogs and then cats the most common animals. The evidence which shows the advantages of having cats is not always the same, but some research still shows that pets make children healthier. A study of 397 Finnish babies in 2012 found that during their first year of life, those whose parents had dogs or cats had fewer colds than those from homes without pets. Dogs offered more protection than cats. The researchers think this is because they brought in more dirt from outside to cause the babies’ immune systems (免疫系统) to work well.
The research also shows that having a pet may make children feel more popular and be more understanding. Older studies found that pets make family members spend more time together and have more “entertainment” they offered as well.
Pets can also help children to learn about responsibility, brush the fur, clean the place they sleep, feed them, take more exercise (if you get a dog) and deal with loss—who can forget when their family pet got a car accident?
In a word, keeping pets is really good for improving children’s health and their qualities. However, I still won’t allow my children to keep a pet at home. After all, both dogs and cats poop (排泄) at home, and they can carry worms or other viruses. Also, it seems that few children look after the animals, they repeatedly asked their parents for help.
34. According to some research, having a pet makes children healthier because ________.
A. they aren’t likely to develop asthma B. they live in a super-clean environment
C. pets can protect them from danger D. dirt makes them guard against the disease better
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. There is no good reason for having pets. B. Having pets also has its disadvantages.
C. Children share the care of pets with parents. D. Pets may bring happiness to children.
36. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Why can pets make parents healthier? B. Will having a pet make your parents sick?
C. Does a pet bring more happiness? D. Is keeping a pet really good for your children?
37. What best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】34. D 35. B 36. D 37. A
【解析】

As we know, it is not easy to build a satellite. Building a traditional satellite normally takes years. The costs can be as high as $250 million or more. Most members of the design teams have worked in the field for a long time. They hold degrees in math, science, or engineering.
But things are changing. High costs, unusual educational requirements and long start-up times are no longer an obstacle to space exploration. The scientists at Stanford University have developed a new type of tiny, inexpensive earth-orbiting satellites that go from ideas to launch (发射) in a year.
So far, college students have built and launched several cube-shaped satellites, or Cube Sats. At least 15 more are ready to go. Those already in orbit (轨道) take pictures, collect information and send it back to the earth, just as regular satellites do.
But you might not even have to wait until you get to college to start designing and building your own satellite. A new program called Katy Sat aims to get teenagers to take part. Once kids understand what satellites can do, says Ben Yuan, an engineer at Lockheed Martin in Menlo Park, Calif, the kinds of applications (应用) they’ll come up with may be countless.
“We’d like to put this technology in your hands.” he tells kids. “We’re going to teach you how to operate a satellite. Then we want to turn it over to you as a sandbox for you to play in. We want you to take the technology into new directions that we haven’t though of yet.”
Education isn’t the only goal of Cube Sats. Because these tiny, technology-filled boxes are relatively inexpensive to build and can be put together quickly, they’re perfect for testing new technologies that might one day be used on major space tasks.
The biggest challenge now is to find ways to bring the satellites back to the earth after a year or two. Otherwise, major highways of space junk rubbish could increase as CubeSats become more common.
Nowadays, college and high school students are getting a chance to learn what it takes to explore in space. Someday perhaps a lot sooner than you imagine—you might get to design, build and launch your own satellite. If you do, you’re sure to have fun. And you might also get crazy about science for life.
38. Compared with the traditional ones, the new satellites ________.
A. need long start-up times B. are low-cost and small-sized
C. are very hard to operate D. collect more information in orbit
39. What does the underlined word “obstacle” probably mean?
A. An aim to achieve in the near future. B. An imagination that kids usually have.
C. Something dangerous to make people scared. D. Something difficult that stands in the way.
40. According to the passage, which of the following is True?
A. CubeSats could possibly cause pollution in space.
B. A few kids will send applications for the project.
C. Scientists designed CubeSats for kids to play with.
D. Students can’t design satellites without college education.
41. What’s the purpose of the author writing the passage?
A. To show that high technology brings a big change in kids’ life.
B. To show that kids lead the space research into a new direction.
C. To tell us that satellite technology can also be learned by kids.
D. To tell us that kids have mastered the satellite technology.

【39题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“High costs, unusual educational requirements and long start-up times are no longer an obstacle to space exploration.”可知高昂的成本、不同寻常的教育要求和较长的启动时间都阻碍了空间探索的发展,所以推测划线处的“obstacle”意思为“较为困难且阻碍发展的事物”,故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的京剧脸谱。
【46题详解】
句意:随着戏曲艺术的发展,表演者逐渐摘下了面具,转而在脸上绘制彩色图案。根据“…the operatic arts developed”可知,此处表示“随着戏曲艺术的发展”,as“随着”,引导时间状语从句,且句首首字母大写,故填As。
【47题详解】
句意:随着戏曲艺术的发展,表演者逐渐摘下了面具,转而在脸上绘制彩色图案。根据空后的“patterns”可知,此处需用形容词修饰名词,color的形容词形式是colorful,故填colorful。
【48题详解】
句意:这样,人们就能比以前更好地看到他们面部表情。根据“than before”可知,此处应用副词比较级,good的比较级better,表示“更好地”,修饰动词“see”。故填better。
【49题详解】
句意:中国戏曲脸谱是一种充满中国文化特色的特殊化妆方法。be full of表示 “充满……”,固定搭配,此处指脸谱充满文化特色。故填of。
【50题详解】
戏曲中中国脸谱的绘制技巧与人物的性格密切相关。根据空后的“related”可知,此处应用副词修饰动词,close的副词形式是closely,故填closely。
【51题详解】
句意:多年来,它已成为中国文化的重要组成部分。根据“Over the past years”可知,本句时态为现在完成时,结构为 “have/has + 过去分词”,主语“it”为第三人称单数,故填has become。
【52题详解】
句意:脸谱有四个角色:生、旦、净、丑。“four roles”复数主语,there be句型遵循 “就近原则”,故用复数形式are。故填are。
【53题详解】
句意:中国戏曲脸谱在使用的颜色和图案上极具程式化(非写实性),但却没有两张绘制的脸谱是相似的。根据“Chinese facial-makeup is extremely stylized”和“no two painted faces are similar.”可知,前后两句形成转折对比关系,用连词but,故填but。
【54题详解】
句意:例如,我们知道为《霸王别姬》中的英雄项羽设计的脸谱样式约有100多种,每一种都不同。“more than 100” 后接可数名词复数,style的复数形式是styles,故填styles。
【55题详解】

七、根据所给汉语完成句子(共6小题;每小题1.5分,满分9分)
56. 令我惊讶是,中国已经在太空方面取得了巨大的进步。
________, China ________________ in space.
【答案】 ①. To my surprise ②. has made great progress
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照,缺少的是“令我惊讶的是”和“已经取得了巨大的进步”。to my surprise“令我惊讶的是”,句首字母应大写;“已经取得了巨大的进步”,时态为现在完成时,其构成为“主语+have/has+done”,主语为China,故此处用has,“取得了巨大的进步”为make great progress,此处应用make的过去分成made,故填To my surprise;has made great progress。
57. 她别无选择只能严格要求自己。
She ________________.
【答案】has no choice but to be strict with herself
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,空处缺少“别无选择只能严格要求自己”,“别无选择只能做某事”的英文表达为have no choice but to do sth,固定搭配,句子时态为一般现在时,主语She为第三人称单数,故用has;“严格要求自己”的英文表达为be strict with oneself,此处“自己”对应herself。故填has no choice but to be strict with herself。
58. 这个男孩已经下定决心参加校足球队的选拔了吗?
Has the boy ________________ the school football team?
【答案】made up his mind to participate in the selection of
【解析】
【详解】make up one’s mind to do sth“下决心做某事”,主语是the boy,此处用形容词性物主代词his代指他的,participate in“参加”,the selection of“……的选拔”,根据“has”可知,此处用现在完成时。故填made up his mind to participate in the selection of。
59. 多阅读使你更容易在学习上处于领先地位。
Reading more ________________ in your study.
【答案】makes it easier for you to take the lead
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,空处缺少“使你更容易处于领先地位”, “使某人更容易做某事”的英文表达为make it easier for sb to do sth,“处于领先地位”的英文表达为take the lead;根据语境可知本句时态为一般现在时,动名词短语 “Reading more” 作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数makes。故填makes it easier for you to take the lead。
60. 虽然这些作品没有达标,工人们没有灰心。
These works were ________, but the workers didn’t ________________.
【答案】 ①. not up to standard ②. lose heart
【解析】
【详解】对照中英文,“没有达标”对应英文短语“not up to standard”;“没有灰心”对应“didn’t lose heart”。故填not up to standard;lose heart。
61. 及时复习所学过的知识对学生是多么有必要啊!
How ________________ in time!
【答案】necessary it is for students to review what they have learned
【解析】
【详解】根据标点符号可知,本句是how引导的感叹句:how+形容词+(主语+谓语+其他部分)。necessary“必要的”,形容词;it is +形容词+for sb to do sth.“对某人来说做某事是怎么样的”;review“复习”,动词;what they have learned“他们已经学过的东西”。故填necessary it is for students to review what they have learned。
