It has a long-standing history, dating back to the 6th century. In ancient times, paper-cutting was often used for religious (宗教的) and ceremonial (仪式的) purposes. As time went by, it gradually became a form of decoration for everyday life. The art of paper-cutting mainly uses paper as the material. Skilled artisans (工匠) use scissors or knives to cut paper into various patterns. These patterns can include flowers, birds, animals, and even stories from Chinese legends and history. For example, the pattern of a fish often symbolizes surplus (盈余) and prosperity (繁荣) in Chinese culture, because the pronunciation of “fish” in Chinese is similar to the word for “surplus”. In different regions of China, paper-cutting has its own unique styles. The northern style is usually bold and simple, with strong lines and a focus on expressing the general shape and spirit of the subject. On the other hand, the southern style is more delicate and intricate (错综复杂的), with fine-detailed patterns that show the superb skills of the artisans. Today, paper-cutting is not only still popular in Chinese homes during festivals like the Spring Festival, when people paste paper-cuttings on windows and doors to add a festive atmosphere, but it has also gained international recognition. Many art exhibitions around the world feature Chinese paper-cutting works, allowing people from different cultures to appreciate the charm and beauty of this traditional art form. 34. When did paper-cutting first appear? A. In the 1st century. B. In the 6th century. C. In modern times. D. During the Spring Festival. 35. Why does the pattern of a fish in paper-cutting symbolize surplus? A. Because fish are very common in China. B. Because fish are beautiful. C. Because the pronunciation of “fish” in Chinese is similar to the word of “surplus”. D. Because people like eating fish. 36. What is the characteristic of the northern style of paper-cutting? A. Bold and simple. B. Delicate and intricate. C. Colorful and vivid. D. Small and exquisite. 37. Where can people see Chinese paper-cutting works nowadays? A. Only in Chinese homes. B. Only in China. C. In international art exhibitions. D. Nowhere outside of China. 【答案】34. B 35. C 36. A 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国传统民间艺术——剪纸，包括其历史、用途、材料、图案寓意、南北方剪纸风格差异等。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It has a long-standing history, dating back to the 6th century.”可知，剪纸可追溯到6世纪。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the pattern of a fish often symbolizes surplus (盈余) and prosperity (繁荣) in Chinese culture, because the pronunciation of ‘fish’ in Chinese is similar to the word for ‘surplus’.”可知，鱼图案象征盈余是因“鱼”的中文发音和“余”相似，故选C。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The northern style is usually bold and simple, with strong lines and a focus on expressing the general shape and spirit of the subject.”可知，北方剪纸风格特点是粗犷、简洁，故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many art exhibitions around the world feature Chinese paper-cutting works”可知，如今在国际艺术展览中能看到中国剪纸作品。故选C。 C In our lives, pets have become much more than just animals that share our homes. They are cherished companions, offering unconditional love and support that enriches our daily existence in profound ways. Dogs, often hailed as “man’s best friend,” are a prime example of the deep-seated bond between pets and humans. From the moment a puppy enters a family, it begins to form an emotional connection. They greet us with wagging tails and excited barks after a long day at work, instantly lifting our spirits. Dogs are not only great for companionship but also serve practical purposes. Service dogs, for instance, assist people with disabilities, whether it’s guiding the blind, alerting those with hearing impairments to sounds, or providing support to individuals with mobility issues. Their loyalty makes them invaluable partners in these roles. Cats, with their independent yet affectionate nature, also hold a special place in many households. A purring cat curled up on our laps can bring a sense of calm and relaxation. They may seem aloof at times, but their gentle nuzzles and soft meows when they seek attention show their love for their human companions. Cats can also be great for reducing stress. Studies have shown that interacting with a cat can lower blood pressure and ease anxiety. Small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, though less commonly thought of in terms of close relationships, also offer unique forms of companionship. They may be more timid, but with patience and gentle handling, they can become comfortable around their owners. Watching these small creatures go about their daily activities, such as nibbling on food or playing in their cages, can be a source of simple joy. The relationship between pets and humans is a two-way street. We provide them with food, shelter, and medical care, while they offer us emotional support, a reason to be more active (especially in the case of dogs that need walks), and a sense of purpose. In fact, for many people living alone, a pet can be their main source of social interaction. However, this special bond also comes with responsibilities. We need to ensure that our pets are healthy, happy, and well-cared for. This includes regular vet check-ups, proper nutrition, and sufficient exercise (where applicable). In return, the love and loyalty our pets give us make all the efforts worthwhile. In conclusion, the relationship between pets and humans is a beautiful and essential part of our lives. It teaches us about love, responsibility, and the simple pleasures that come from sharing our world with another living being. Whether it’s a dog, a cat, or a small furry friend, these pets become an integral part of our families, and their presence makes our lives more fulfilling. 38. Why are dogs often called “man’s best friend”? A. Because they are the most popular pets. B. Because they can perform various tasks for humans. C. Because they offer unconditional love and practical assistance. D. Because they are easy to train. 39. How do cats help reduce stress? A. By always being affectionate and clingy. B. By purring and seeking attention in a gentle way. C. By playing energetic games with their owners. D. By being independent and not demanding much attention. 40. What is the significance (重要性) of small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs in human-pet relationships? A. They are mainly for show and decoration. B. They offer unique forms of companionship and simple joy. C. They are more intelligent than other pets. D. They require very little care compared to dogs and cats. 41. What does the author mean by “the relationship between pets and humans is a two-way street”? A. Pets and humans should walk on the street together. B. Both pets and humans should be trained. C. Humans should only focus on taking care of pets. D. Pets give and get care and love from humans. 【答案】38. C 39. B 40. B 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕宠物与人类的关系展开，介绍宠物作为珍贵伙伴，给人类带来无条件的爱、情感支持、实际帮助等，强调宠物与人类的关系是生活中美好且重要的部分，让生活更充实。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Dogs, often hailed as ‘man’s best friend,’...They are great for companionship... Service dogs...assist people with disabilities...Their loyalty make them invaluable partners”可知，狗被称为“人类最好的朋友”是因为它们给予无条件的爱和实际帮助。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Cats... A purring cat curled up on our laps can bring a sense of calm and relaxation. ...their gentle nuzzles and soft meows when they seek attention show their love...Cats can also be great for reducing stress”可知，猫通过咕噜咕噜叫、用温柔的方式寻求关注来帮助减压。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Small pets like rabbits...also offer unique forms of companionship...Watching these small creatures go about their daily activities, such as nibbling on food or playing around in their cages, can be a source of simple joy”可知，小型宠物提供独特的陪伴和简单的快乐，故选B。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“We provide them with food, shelter, and medical care, while they offer us emotional support...”可知，“宠物和人类的关系是双向道”意思是宠物和人类互相给予和获得关爱与照顾。故选D。 D The thermostatic (恒温的) house Look at the picture.

It has a long-standing history, dating back to the 6th century. In ancient times, paper-cutting was often used for religious (宗教的) and ceremonial (仪式的) purposes. As time went by, it gradually became a form of decoration for everyday life. The art of paper-cutting mainly uses paper as the material. Skilled artisans (工匠) use scissors or knives to cut paper into various patterns. These patterns can include flowers, birds, animals, and even stories from Chinese legends and history. For example, the pattern of a fish often symbolizes surplus (盈余) and prosperity (繁荣) in Chinese culture, because the pronunciation of “fish” in Chinese is similar to the word for “surplus”. In different regions of China, paper-cutting has its own unique styles. The northern style is usually bold and simple, with strong lines and a focus on expressing the general shape and spirit of the subject. On the other hand, the southern style is more delicate and intricate (错综复杂的), with fine-detailed patterns that show the superb skills of the artisans. Today, paper-cutting is not only still popular in Chinese homes during festivals like the Spring Festival, when people paste paper-cuttings on windows and doors to add a festive atmosphere, but it has also gained international recognition. Many art exhibitions around the world feature Chinese paper-cutting works, allowing people from different cultures to appreciate the charm and beauty of this traditional art form. 34. When did paper-cutting first appear? A. In the 1st century. B. In the 6th century. C. In modern times. D. During the Spring Festival. 35 Why does the pattern of a fish in paper-cutting symbolize surplus? A. Because fish are very common in China. B. Because fish are beautiful. C. Because the pronunciation of “fish” in Chinese is similar to the word of “surplus”. D. Because people like eating fish. 36. What is the characteristic of the northern style of paper-cutting? A. Bold and simple. B. Delicate and intricate. C. Colorful and vivid. D. Small and exquisite. 37. Where can people see Chinese paper-cutting works nowadays? A. Only in Chinese homes. B. Only in China. C. In international art exhibitions. D. Nowhere outside of China. C In our lives, pets have become much more than just animals that share our homes. They are cherished companions, offering unconditional love and support that enriches our daily existence in profound ways. Dogs, often hailed as “man’s best friend,” are a prime example of the deep-seated bond between pets and humans. From the moment a puppy enters a family, it begins to form an emotional connection. They greet us with wagging tails and excited barks after a long day at work, instantly lifting our spirits. Dogs are not only great for companionship but also serve practical purposes. Service dogs, for instance, assist people with disabilities, whether it’s guiding the blind, alerting those with hearing impairments to sounds, or providing support to individuals with mobility issues. Their loyalty makes them invaluable partners in these roles. Cats, with their independent yet affectionate nature, also hold a special place in many households. A purring cat curled up on our laps can bring a sense of calm and relaxation. They may seem aloof at times, but their gentle nuzzles and soft meows when they seek attention show their love for their human companions. Cats can also be great for reducing stress. Studies have shown that interacting with a cat can lower blood pressure and ease anxiety. Small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, though less commonly thought of in terms of close relationships, also offer unique forms of companionship. They may be more timid, but with patience and gentle handling, they can become comfortable around their owners. Watching these small creatures go about their daily activities, such as nibbling on food or playing in their cages, can be a source of simple joy. The relationship between pets and humans is a two-way street. We provide them with food, shelter, and medical care, while they offer us emotional support, a reason to be more active (especially in the case of dogs that need walks), and a sense of purpose. In fact, for many people living alone, a pet can be their main source of social interaction. However, this special bond also comes with responsibilities. We need to ensure that our pets are healthy, happy, and well-cared for. This includes regular vet check-ups, proper nutrition, and sufficient exercise (where applicable). In return, the love and loyalty our pets give us make all the efforts worthwhile. In conclusion, the relationship between pets and humans is a beautiful and essential part of our lives. It teaches us about love, responsibility, and the simple pleasures that come from sharing our world with another living being. Whether it’s a dog, a cat, or a small furry friend, these pets become an integral part of our families, and their presence makes our lives more fulfilling. 38. Why are dogs often called “man’s best friend”? A. Because they are the most popular pets. B. Because they can perform various tasks for humans. C. Because they offer unconditional love and practical assistance. D. Because they are easy to train. 39. How do cats help reduce stress? A. By always being affectionate and clingy. B. By purring and seeking attention in a gentle way. C. By playing energetic games with their owners. D. By being independent and not demanding much attention. 40. What is the significance (重要性) of small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs in human-pet relationships? A. They are mainly for show and decoration. B. They offer unique forms of companionship and simple joy. C. They are more intelligent than other pets. D. They require very little care compared to dogs and cats. 41. What does the author mean by “the relationship between pets and humans is a two-way street”? A. Pets and humans should walk on the street together. B. Both pets and humans should be trained. C. Humans should only focus on taking care of pets. D. Pets give and get care and love from humans. D The thermostatic (恒温的) house Look at the picture.
