The art form mixes beautiful writing, carving skills and rich cultural meanings. This art began in the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE). People then used seals mostly as symbols of controllers. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE), seals also showed a person’s importance. A big change happened in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE). The emperor made a special writing style for it. Many centuries later, during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties, artists made seal carving one of the most popular art forms. They used different stones and sometimes ivory for important people. Do you know how to carve a seal? First, draw a design (设计) on the seal. The design can be a simple sign, a word or a short sentence. Second, use a special carving tool to cut the design. This needs good hand skills and takes lots of time. Then put ink on the seal when the carving is done. Next, press the seal on a piece of paper. You’ll see the design printed on the paper. This printed design is a special symbol for the person or group who owns the seal. Today, many people still love it even though they use seals less for everyday signing now. In fact, in 2009, Chinese seal carving was accepted by UNESCO as a very important world cultural treasure. Modern artists try new styles. People collect old seals for their history and many learn carving as a way to learn tradition and relax themselves. Workshops around the world teach the ancient Chinese art, making sure it continues to shine brightly. 23. In what way does the writer tell the history of the seal carving in Paragraph 2? A. In space order. B. In time order. C. By means of cause and effect (因果). D. By comparison (比较). 24. Which is the right order for making a seal carving? ① Press the seal onto paper. ② Draw a design on the seal. ③ Put ink on the seal. ④ Carve the design with a tool. A. ②④③① B. ②③①④ C. ④②③① D. ④①③② 25. Why is Chinese seal carving still popular now? A. It’s very expensive and shows a person’s importance. B. UNESCO asks people to learn it in the workshops. C. People can experience culture and relax themselves. D. Modern artists can create better styles than before. 26. What’s the main purpose (目的) of this passage? A. To explain the great success of Chinese seal carving. B. To introduce Chinese seal carving as a valuable art form. C. To encourage readers to buy more ancient seal carving. D. To compare ancient and modern uses of seals in China. 【答案】23. B 24. A 25. C 26.

Now look down at the bottom (底部) of the world map below. There you will find the seventh continent: Antarctica. Antarctica is the coldest continent. The temperature in summer mostly reaches above 0℃. In winter, the temperature is almost always below -18℃. The coldest temperature recorded on the earth was at an Antarctic science station in July 1983. It got down to -89℃. That’s why thick ice covers Antarctica. The ice holds 90% of the world’s fresh water and it has been building up over thousands of years. But here’s the surprise: Some special animals still live there. Among them, the Emperor Penguin (企鹅), the largest penguin in the world is the most famous. It stands more than 1.2 meters tall. Father penguin has a big job. It stands on ice and holds an egg between its feet and body for two months without eating any food until mother penguin comes back. No country around the world owns Antarctica. Scientists from different countries have worked hard to protect Antarctica’s wildlife and land. Some of them come to study the wildlife. Other scientists study Antarctica’s ice. Antarctica remains one of the least-known lands in the world. The cold and ice seas make it a difficult place to study. However, it’s a place of uncommon beauty that gives opportunities to research the surprising nature. 27. Where is Antarctica located (定位) in the world map according to Paragraph 1? A. A. B. B. C. C. D. D. 28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. Beautiful Antarctica. B. Freezing Antarctica. C. Common Antarctica. D. Old Antarctica. 29. What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4? A.

Can you hang by your tail from a branch?” At last they went to a clever old owl (猫头鹰). “We cannot agree,” they said, “Could you tell us which is better—to be strong or to be quick?” The owl said to them, “Do just as I told you so that I may find out which of you is greater. Do you see that tall fruit tree across the river? Go and pick the fruit and bring it to me.” So they went to the river but the water ran so quickly that the monkey was afraid. “Get on my back,” said the elephant proudly, “I am big and strong. I am not afraid to swim across a running river.” So the monkey got on the elephant’s back and they soon got across the river. They went on until they came to the tree. It was so tall that the fruit hung high above them. The elephant tried to break the tree down but it was too strong. He tried to reach the fruit with his long nose but it was too high. “Wait a minute,” said the monkey proudly, “I can climb.” He ran quickly up the tree and threw down the rich fruit. The elephant put it into his great mouth. Then they crossed the river and gave the fruit to the owl. “Now,” they asked, “which is better?” “Can anyone tell which is better?” said the owl. “ ▲ One crossed the river and the other took the fruit from the plant.

The art form mixes beautiful writing, carving skills and rich cultural meanings. This art began in the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE). People then used seals mostly as symbols of controllers. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE), seals also showed a person’s importance. A big change happened in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE). The emperor made a special writing style for it. Many centuries later, during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties, artists made seal carving one of the most popular art forms. They used different stones and sometimes ivory for important people. Do you know how to carve a seal? First, draw a design (设计) on the seal. The design can be a simple sign, a word or a short sentence. Second, use a special carving tool to cut the design. This needs good hand skills and takes lots of time. Then put ink on the seal when the carving is done. Next, press the seal on a piece of paper. You’ll see the design printed on the paper. This printed design is a special symbol for the person or group who owns the seal. Today, many people still love it even though they use seals less for everyday signing now. In fact, in 2009, Chinese seal carving was accepted by UNESCO as a very important world cultural treasure. Modern artists try new styles. People collect old seals for their history and many learn carving as a way to learn tradition and relax themselves. Workshops around the world teach the ancient Chinese art, making sure it continues to shine brightly. 23. In what way does the writer tell the history of the seal carving in Paragraph 2? A. In space order. B. In time order. C. By means of cause and effect (因果). D. By comparison (比较). 24. Which is the right order for making a seal carving? ① Press the seal onto paper. ② Draw a design on the seal. ③ Put ink on the seal. ④ Carve the design with a tool. A. ②④③① B. ②③①④ C. ④②③① D. ④①③② 25. Why is Chinese seal carving still popular now? A. It’s very expensive and shows a person’s importance. B. UNESCO asks people to learn it in the workshops. C. People can experience culture and relax themselves. D. Modern artists can create better styles than before. 26. What’s the main purpose (目的) of this passage? A. To explain the great success of Chinese seal carving. B To introduce Chinese seal carving as a valuable art form. C. To encourage readers to buy more ancient seal carving. D. To compare ancient and modern uses of seals in China. D Do you know our planet has seven continents? You probably name six continents easily: Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. These lands have been home to humans for many thousands of years. Now look down at the bottom (底部) of the world map below. There you will find the seventh continent: Antarctica. Antarctica is the coldest continent. The temperature in summer mostly reaches above 0℃. In winter, the temperature is almost always below -18℃. The coldest temperature recorded on the earth was at an Antarctic science station in July 1983. It got down to -89℃. That’s why thick ice covers Antarctica. The ice holds 90% of the world’s fresh water and it has been building up over thousands of years. But here’s the surprise: Some special animals still live there. Among them, the Emperor Penguin (企鹅), the largest penguin in the world is the most famous. It stands more than 1.2 meters tall. Father penguin has a big job. It stands on ice and holds an egg between its feet and body for two months without eating any food until mother penguin comes back. No country around the world owns Antarctica. Scientists from different countries have worked hard to protect Antarctica’s wildlife and land. Some of them come to study the wildlife. Other scientists study Antarctica’s ice. Antarctica remains one of the least-known lands in the world. The cold and ice seas make it a difficult place to study. However, it’s a place of uncommon beauty that gives opportunities to research the surprising nature. 27. Where is Antarctica located (定位) in the world map according to Paragraph 1? A. A. B. B. C. C. D. D. 28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. Beautiful Antarctica. B. Freezing Antarctica. C. Common Antarctica. D. Old Antarctica. 29. What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Only penguins live in Antarctica happily. B. Some countries are fighting for Antarctica. C. Penguins take care of their babies easily. D. Scientists study Antarctica in different ways. 30.
