Rainie Huang’s journey in make-up artistry began in 2018. While studying for a fashion design degree at an art academy, she discovered her love for make-up in her free moments. In 2020, “the Palace Museum covered in snow” became a hot topic on social media. “It was my first time observing such a scene. An idea came upon me then: Were those cultural relics quietly appreciating the snow inside the palace?” Huang said. She began imagining what the relics might look like in human form. So she got colors and elements from these artifacts (手工艺品) for her make-up. She skillfully recreated the features of an artifact on her face, bringing it to life.
Her designs quickly gained popularity. “This approach not only allows people to appreciate the make-up but also helps them connect with the liveliness of our cultural heritage.” Huang said. Some have expressed how her make-up designs have introduced them to many little-known artifacts. One follower said “You have found and shared the valuable things from museums, allowing us to see and appreciate the artifacts that were once lost among many exhibits during our hurried visits.”
Huang has noticed that an increasing number of young people show a deep appreciation for the traditional culture. “It’s necessary for the ways museum culture is passed on to keep pace with the changing times to avoid culture loss. Young generations are responsible for carrying forward the culture, in whatever positive and productive manners,” Huang said.
The total number of Chinese museums nationwide reached 6 565 in 2022, ranking among the top in the world. In the past, many considered museum visits boring because of a lack of awareness of their wealth of collections. The recommendations by social media influencers and TV programs have led to a growing number of people realizing that museums offer a wide variety of interesting things. While not everyone may be interested in objects and history, the quest for beauty is born among people.
36. What did the snowy Palace Museum inspire Huang to do?
A. Start a career in fashion design. B. Present artifacts in snowy landscapes.
C. Create make-up to show artifacts’ beauty. D. Teach people to do make-up on social media.
37. Why do Huang’s designs become popular?
A. They follow the latest beauty topics.
B. They allow people to imagine missing artifacts.
C. They satisfy people’s curiosity about artwork design.
D. They make museum artworks more approachable.
38. What is Huang’s advice for young generations?
A. Replacing museum trips with online visits.
B. Spreading museum culture in inventive ways.
C. Keeping artifacts original for scientific research.
D. Connecting museum culture with business activities.
39. Which of the following can best describe Huang?
A. Friendly and positive. B. Independent and serious.
C. Creative and thoughtful. D. Talented and knowledgeable.
40. What is the last paragraph intended to tell us?
A. Museum collections face the challenge of technology.
B. Media influences have increased museums’ attraction.
C. Museums are changing practices to attract the young.
D. Most people think highly of museum objects and history.
B
Across the world, language and history are connected. As society and tradition change, new words or phrases are created to show the present cultural understanding. Some old phrases and words simply turn into the accepted usages with their backgrounds forgotten.
One such phrase “grandfathered in” has become a common one now. Although it often makes people think of the image of a gray-haired, older gentleman, who gets out of trouble because of his age, it actually means that one person or a business has the right to refuse the new rules.
A deeper look into the first use of the phrase shows an interesting story in history. It happened in a town in the 1980s. A new law was passed there not to allow illiterates (文盲) to participate in the making of rules as they couldn’t read or write and might not help in the process. The limit was potent because except for the old and children, there were close to 30 percent of young adults in the town who had little or no education. Being strong and energetic, they made up an important part of the town’s development.
Considering that, some officers in the town didn’t readily accept the rule. Instead, they carefully gave their advice to the head of the town. At the same time, they encouraged these young adults to pass the literacy(读写能力)tests. Thus a “grandfather clause(条款)”was added to allow illiterates to participate as long as they or their grandfathers had once been participants. The clause no doubt helped remove the unfairness and benefited all.
The phrase “grandfathered in” is of course still widely used today without being limited to a certain field. But even as culture and tradition change, whether we’re aware of it or not, language has the power to hold our history.
41. According to Paragraph 1, what has happened to some old phrase with time going?
A. They have got lost in history.
B. Few people can use them correctly.
C. They are rarely used in popular culture.
D. Few people know much about their history.
42. The phrase “grandfathered in” is used nowadays when________.
A. an old man dislikes new rules
B. a person is free from new rules
C. a business has a long history and culture
D a businessman fails to follow the market rules
43. What does the underlined word “potent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Unless. B. Powerful. C. Easy. D. Reasonable.
44. What does the author think of the “grandfather clause” in the history?
A. Funny. B. Incorrect. C. Positive. D. Disappointing.
45. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Language and history are always connected.
B. The birth of some phrases can be interesting.
C. History plays an important role in communication.
D. Some phrases are created to show the present culture.
C
People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones.
A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer.
All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.
“It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.”
Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.
“If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store, said Branson. “And nature doesn't grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No.1 apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”
46. Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that .
A. more fruits are offered at lower prices
B. normal-looking produce is banned there
C. imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there
D. only apples and potatoes are sold every day
47. According to Paragraph 3, Branson's program .
A. prevents people from wasting their food
B. happens to be a win-win arrangement
C. teaches food producers how to grow
D. enables consumers to eat more fresh produce
48. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The ugly food line B. The food to be wasted
C. The abnormal harvest D. All the produce
49. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.
B. Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.
C. Loblaws intends to improve customers’ quality of life.
D. Customers’ support promotes the development of Loblaws.
50. What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.
B. The world is usually full of imperfect things.
C. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.
D. The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.

4.第四部分:阅读表达题和书面表达:本大题共2小题,共计30分· 请把答案填在答案纸上的指定位置. 阅读表达(每题2分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holiday meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In later afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership – a shop selling cars – was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you” – two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

Rainie Huang’s journey in make-up artistry began in 2018. While studying for a fashion design degree at an art academy, she discovered her love for make-up in her free moments. In 2020, “the Palace Museum covered in snow” became a hot topic on social media. “It was my first time observing such a scene. An idea came upon me then: Were those cultural relics quietly appreciating the snow inside the palace?” Huang said. She began imagining what the relics might look like in human form. So she got colors and elements from these artifacts (手工艺品) for her make-up. She skillfully recreated the features of an artifact on her face, bringing it to life.
Her designs quickly gained popularity. “This approach not only allows people to appreciate the make-up but also helps them connect with the liveliness of our cultural heritage.” Huang said. Some have expressed how her make-up designs have introduced them to many little-known artifacts. One follower said, “You have found and shared the valuable things from museums, allowing us to see and appreciate the artifacts that were once lost among many exhibits during our hurried visits.”
Huang has noticed that an increasing number of young people show a deep appreciation for the traditional culture. “It’s necessary for the ways museum culture is passed on to keep pace with the changing times to avoid culture loss. Young generations are responsible for carrying forward the culture, in whatever positive and productive manners,” Huang said.
The total number of Chinese museums nationwide reached 6, 565 in 2022, ranking among the top in the world. In the past, many considered museum visits boring because of a lack of awareness of their wealth of collections. The recommendations by social media influencers and TV programs have led to a growing number of people realizing that museums offer a wide variety of interesting things. While not everyone may be interested in objects and history, the quest for beauty is born among people.
36 What did the snowy Palace Museum inspire Huang to do?
A. Start a career in fashion design. B. Present artifacts in snowy landscapes.
C. Create make-up to show artifacts’ beauty. D. Teach people to do make-up on social media.
37. Why do Huang’s designs become popular?
A. They follow the latest beauty topics.
B. They allow people to imagine missing artifacts.
C. They satisfy people’s curiosity about artwork design.
D. They make museum artworks more approachable.
38. What is Huang’s advice for young generations?
A. Replacing museum trips with online visits.
B. Spreading museum culture in inventive ways.
C. Keeping artifacts original for scientific research.
D. Connecting museum culture with business activities.
39. Which of the following can best describe Huang?
A. Friendly and positive. B. Independent and serious.
C. Creative and thoughtful. D. Talented and knowledgeable.
40. What is the last paragraph intended to tell us?

Across the world, language and history are connected. As society and tradition change, new words or phrases are created to show the present cultural understanding. Some old phrases and words simply turn into the accepted usages with their backgrounds forgotten.
One such phrase “grandfathered in” has become a common one now. Although it often makes people think of the image of a gray-haired, older gentleman, who gets out of trouble because of his age, it actually means that one person or a business has the right to refuse the new rules.
A deeper look into the first use of the phrase shows an interesting story in history. It happened in a town in the 1980s. A new law was passed there not to allow illiterates (文盲) to participate in the making of rules as they couldn’t read or write and might not help in the process. The limit was potent because except for the old and children, there were close to 30 percent of young adults in the town who had little or no education. Being strong and energetic, they made up an important part of the town’s development.
Considering that, some officers in the town didn’t readily accept the rule. Instead, they carefully gave their advice to the head of the town. At the same time, they encouraged these young adults to pass the literacy(读写能力)tests. Thus a “grandfather clause(条款)”was added to allow illiterates to participate as long as they or their grandfathers had once been participants. The clause no doubt helped remove the unfairness and benefited all.
The phrase “grandfathered in” is of course still widely used today without being limited to a certain field. But even as culture and tradition change, whether we’re aware of it or not, language has the power to hold our history.
41. According to Paragraph 1, what has happened to some old phrase with time going?
A. They have got lost in history.
B. Few people can use them correctly.
C. They are rarely used in popular culture.
D. Few people know much about their history.
42. The phrase “grandfathered in” is used nowadays when________.
A. an old man dislikes new rules
B. a person is free from new rules
C. a business has a long history and culture
D. a businessman fails to follow the market rules
43. What does the underlined word “potent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Unless. B. Powerful. C. Easy. D. Reasonable.
44. What does the author think of the “grandfather clause” in the history?
A. Funny. B. Incorrect. C. Positive. D. Disappointing.
45. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Language and history are always connected.
B. The birth of some phrases can be interesting.
C. History plays an important role in communication.
D. Some phrases are created to show the present culture.
【答案】41. D 42. B 43. B 44. C 45. A
【解析】

【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Thus a ‘grandfather clause(条款)’was added to allow illiterates to participate as long as they or their grandfathers had once been participants.

C
People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones.
A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer.
All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.
“It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.”
Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.
“If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store, said Branson. “And nature doesn't grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No.1 apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”
46. Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that .
A. more fruits are offered at lower prices
B. normal-looking produce is banned there
C. imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there
D. only apples and potatoes are sold every day
47. According to Paragraph 3, Branson's program .
A. prevents people from wasting their food
B. happens to be a win-win arrangement
C. teaches food producers how to grow
D. enables consumers to eat more fresh produce
48. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The ugly food line B. The food to be wasted
C. The abnormal harvest D. All the produce
49. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.
B. Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.
C. Loblaws intends to improve customers’ quality of life.
D. Customers’ support promotes the development of Loblaws.
50. What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.
B. The world is usually full of imperfect things.
C. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.
D. The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.
【答案】46. C 47. B 48. A 49. D 50. C

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holiday meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In later afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership – a shop selling cars – was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you” – two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.
