Is it only a kind of plant on the food list of pandas? No! It also represents single bamboo drifting (独竹漂), an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) passed from generation to generation among the people in Guizhou Province. Single bamboo drifting has been performed for more than 2,000 years. In the past, the ancestors who lived on the bank of the Chishui River used it as a method to go across the river. Now, with the development of modern transportation, this skill has been regarded as a sport or a unique way of performance by local people. Middle school students of the province practice the sport and compete in the Chinese National Games. The requirements of the sport are simple, yet demanding! Athletes have to balance on a bamboo pole, barely as wide as one’s foot, and guide it down the river with a thin stick. But there’s more than just guiding. While keeping balance on the narrow bamboo pole with the thin stick, the athletes are performing skills and tricks. Jumping, push-ups, and splits (劈叉) are some of the most common ones, whereas those who are more experienced often use their imagination to try out more difficult moves. Yang Liu, a 25-year-old “water fairy” from Zunyi, Guizhou, dancing on the river in traditional Chinese costume, is an inheritor (继承人) of single bamboo drifting. For over ten years, combining drifting with dancing, Yang has put fresh energy into this traditional art. It’s not easy to stand, let alone dance on a single bamboo. So not surprisingly, Yang has experienced countless falls and failures. Thanks to her efforts, though, single bamboo drifting has gotten great fame on the Internet and become well-known in the world. 26. What did we mainly use single bamboo drifting for in ancient times? A. A kind of sport. B. A way of dance. C. A form of traditional art. D. A type of transportation. 27. What does the underlined word “demanding” probably mean in Chinese? A. 严苛的 B. 繁琐的 C. 宽松的 D. 自在的 28. Why is a stick needed in single bamboo drifting? A. To try out difficult moves. B. To guide and balance. C. To perform different tricks. D. To practice and compete. 29. What do we know about Yang Liu? A. She was a fairy with magical power. B. She kept practicing for over 10 years. C. She was good at the skill from the start. D. She didn’t like the traditional art. 30. What mainly made single bamboo drifting famous around the world? A. The spread of sports spirits. B. The development of tourism. C. The popularity of Chinese festivals. D. The continuous efforts of generations. B When you use a knife and fork, you have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand, or you can’t put food into your mouth. But with chopsticks, you can solve the eating problems with just one hand. 31 Chopsticks were called zhu or jia in ancient Chin. It is said that they were invented by Da Yu, who successfully controlled the heavy flood. One day he was busy dealing with the flood. In order to save time when eating, he used two sticks from a tree to take the hot food. That was how chopsticks came into use. 32 In fact, the earliest chopsticks found in China were made of bronze (青铜), which were unearthed from Yinxu in Anyang City, Henan Province. Many people probably haven’t realized the cultural meanings of chopsticks. 33 Do you notice that one end of chopsticks is square and the other end is round? So why? According to our ancestors, the round end symbolized (象征) Heaven and the square end symbolized Earth. 34 It shows the perfect combination (结合) of yin and yang in Chinese culture. The influence of Chinese culture has spread far and wide. 35 So it’s unbelievable that foreigners cannot use chopsticks. A. Besides, chopsticks are used in pairs. B. It’s convenient and efficient to use chopsticks. C. It was one of the legends about chopsticks. D. At least 1.8 billion people are using chopsticks around the world. E. They are regarded as one of the symbols of Chinese food culture. 五、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 阅读下面的短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。 36 (What/ How) amazing skills the artists have!

Single bamboo drifting has been performed for more than 2,000 years. In the past, the ancestors who lived on the bank of the Chishui River used it as a method to go across the river. Now, with the development of modern transportation, this skill has been regarded as a sport or a unique way of performance by local people.

D 【详解】本文介绍了贵州的非物质文化遗产项目——独竹漂。 26. 细节理解题。根据“In the past, the ancestors who lived on the bank of the Chishui River used it as a method to go across the river.”可知，在过去，生活在赤水河畔的祖先们把“独竹漂”作为渡河的一种方法，也就是一种交通方式。故选D。 27. 词句猜测题。根据“While keeping balance on the narrow bamboo pole with the thin stick, the athletes are performing skills and tricks. Jumping, push-ups, and splits（劈叉）are some of the most common ones, whereas those who are more experienced often use their imagination to try out more difficult moves.”可知，运动员们一边用细棍在狭窄的竹竿上保持平衡，一边表演技巧和窍门。跳跃、俯卧撑和劈叉是一些最常见的动作，而那些更有经验的人经常用他们的想象力来尝试更困难的动作。由此可知，这项运动的要求很简单，但是要求非常的高。demanding在此意为“严苛的”。故选A。 28. 细节理解题。根据“But there’s more than just guiding. While keeping balance on the narrow bamboo pole with the thin stick”可知，运动员不仅需要用棍子来引导竹竿顺流漂移，而且还要用它在狭窄的竹竿上保持平衡。故选B。 29. 细节理解题。根据“For over ten years, combining drifting with dancing, Yang has put fresh energy into this traditional art.”和“So not surprisingly, Yang has experienced countless falls and failures.”可知，十多年来，杨将独竹漂与舞蹈结合在一起，为这项传统艺术注入了新的活力。杨经历了无数次跌倒和失败，这并不奇怪。由此可知，杨苦练了十多年。故选B。 30. 推理判断题。根据“It also represents single bamboo drifting（独竹漂）, an intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）passed from generation to generation among the people in Guizhou Province.”可知，独竹漂是贵州人民代代相传下来的非物质文化遗产。因此，独竹漂得以闻名于世是因为一代又一代人的不懈努力。故选D。 B When you use a knife and fork, you have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand, or you can’t put food into your mouth. But with chopsticks, you can solve the eating problems with just one hand. 31 Chopsticks were called zhu or jia in ancient Chin. It is said that they were invented by Da Yu, who successfully controlled the heavy flood. One day he was busy dealing with the flood. In order to save time when eating, he used two sticks from a tree to take the hot food.

Many people probably haven’t realized the cultural meanings of chopsticks. 33 Do you notice that one end of chopsticks is square and the other end is round? So why? According to our ancestors, the round end symbolized (象征) Heaven and the square end symbolized Earth. 34 It shows the perfect combination (结合) of yin and yang in Chinese culture. The influence of Chinese culture has spread far and wide. 35 So it’s unbelievable that foreigners cannot use chopsticks. A. Besides, chopsticks are used in pairs. B. It’s convenient and efficient to use chopsticks. C. It was one of the legends about chopsticks. D. At least 1.8 billion people are using chopsticks around the world. E. They are regarded as one of the symbols of Chinese food culture. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. E 34. A 35. D 【详解】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了筷子的起源、与其有关的传说以及它的象征意义。 31. 根据空前的“But with chopsticks, you can solve the eating problems with just one hand. (但是有了筷子，你可以只用一只手解决吃饭的问题。)”可知，相比刀叉，筷子就方便得多，选项B“It’s convenient and efficient to use chopsticks. (它既方便又高效。)”，符合语境。故选B。 32. 根据前文“It is said that they were invented by Da Yu, who successfully controlled the heavy flood... (据说它们是大禹发明的，他成功地控制了洪水。)”可知，此处在介绍有关筷子的传说，选项C“It was one of the legends about chopsticks. (这是关于筷子的一个传说。)”符合语境。故选C。 33. 根据空前的“Many people probably haven’t realized the cultural meanings of chopsticks. (很多人可能还没有意识到筷子的文化意义。)”可知，此处介绍与筷子有关的文化，选项E“They are regarded as one of the symbols of Chinese food culture.

(根据我们的祖先的说法，圆头象征着天，方头象征着地。)”以及空后的“It shows the perfect combination of yin and yang in Chinese culture. (它展示了中国文化中阴阳的完美结合。)”可知，前文介绍了筷子一端象征天一端象征地，后文说体现了中国文化中阴阳的完美结合，中间缺少关于筷子本身特点的过渡内容，选项A“Besides, chopsticks are used in pairs.

Many people enjoy 43 (watch) sugar-blowing shows. The sweet smell and 44 (beauty) colors make everyone happy. 45 (a) old artist said that this craft brings joy to both young and old.

An 【详解】本文主要介绍了中国最具特色的传统工艺之一——吹糖人。 36. 考查感叹句。句意：这些艺术家的技艺多么令人惊叹啊！分析句子结构，此处是感叹句，what和how都可以引导感叹句，what后中心词接名词，how后中心词接形容词或副词，此处中心词“skills”是名词，用what引导该感叹句。故填What。 37. 考查名词复数。句意：吹糖人是中国最具特色的传统工艺之一。one of + the +形容词的最高级+可数名词复数，意为“最……之一”，这是个固定用法，空处应用复数形式crafts。故填crafts。 38. 考查定语从句。句意：去年冬天，我在参加庙会时看到了一位老艺术家正在制作一只糖制的龙。分析句子结构，“…was making a sugar dragon”是一个定语从句，修饰先行词an old artist，关系词在从句中作主语，指人，用who引导该从句。故填who。 39. 考查动名词。句意：这位艺术家吸引了众多孩子围拢过来，他花了好几个小时用滚烫的糖块塑造出各种形状。spend some time (in) doing sth.意为“花费时间做某事”，其中，用动名词作介词的宾语。故填creating。 40. 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：如今从事吹糖人的艺人已经寥寥无几了。根据“today”可知，描述主语现在的状态，用一般现在时，主语only a few sugar-blowing artists是复数，谓语动词用复数are。故填are。 41. 考查被动语态。句意：融化的糖被塑造成各种动物、花朵的形状，甚至还有广受欢迎的卡通人物的造型。分析句子结构，主语“The melted sugar”和“is”之间是被动关系，用被动语态（be done），该空用过去分词， shape的过去分词是shaped。故填shaped。 42. 考查并列连词。句意：对于这些艺术家来说，制作糖制人物不仅有趣，而且意义非凡。固定搭配not only… but also…（不仅……而且……），此处需补全并列结构。故填also。 43. 考查固定短语。句意：许多人喜欢观看吹糖人表演。enjoy doing sth.意为“喜欢做某事”，这是一个固定短语，空处应用动名词watching作宾语。故填watching。 44. 考查形容词。句意：那甜美的香气和美丽的色彩让每个人都感到开心。此处修饰名词colors，用形容词，所给名词 beauty对应的形容词是beautiful。故填beautiful。 45. 考查冠词。句意：一位老艺术家说，这项技艺能让年轻人和老年人都感到快乐。泛指“一位老艺术家”，且old是以元音音素开头的词，用不定冠词an，位于句首首字母大写。故填An。 六、书面表达（20分） 【写作内容】假如你是李华，你的美国朋友Robert来信说，他最近在学校举行的中华传统文化演讲比赛中获得了一等奖，请你给他写一封信以示祝贺。 【写作要求】正文约40个英文单词，文中不可出现你自己的真实姓名、学校等信息。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Robert,   I’m so glad to hear that you won the first prize in the speech contest about traditional Chinese culture.
