Chinese paper cutting or, “jianzhi” is the art of cutting paper designs, and the cut-outs are also used to decorate doors and windows, so they are sometimes called “chuanghua”.Paper cutting has long been a symbol of Eastern charm.
There are symmetrical (对称的) designs that are usually created by some folding and cutting.When unfolded, it forms a symmetrical design.Chinese cut-outs are normally symmetrical and are usually in an even number series of 2, 4, 24, etc.
The oldest surviving paper cut-out is a symmetrical circle from the early 6th century found in Xinjiang, China.From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became popular especially during Chinese festivals.The art spread to the rest of the world in the 14th century.Throughout the Qing Dynasty many paper cutting skills were developed including drafting and the use of smoked paper.By the end of the Qing ruling however, paper cutting was once on the decline because new art forms were being introduced.The People's Republic of China later tried to revive the art in the 1980s.
Today, paper cut-outs are chiefly decorative.They decorate walls, windows, doors, columns, mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes and are also used on presents or are given as gifts themselves.Entrances decorated with paper cut-outs are supposed to bring good luck.Paper cut-outs used to be used as patterns, especially for embroidery (刺绣).
There are two methods of manufacture (加工): one uses scissors, and the other uses knives.In the scissor method, several pieces of paper — up to eight — are fastened together.The image is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors.Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several paper on a relatively soft foundation consisting of a mixture of oil and ashes.Skilled crafters can even cut out different drawings freely without stopping.

A.Survive. B.Restore.
C.Copy. D.Fix.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段的“By the end of the Qing ruling however, paper cutting was once on the decline because new art forms were being introduced.”可知,到了清末,由于新的艺术形式的引入,剪纸一度衰落。revive所在句的意思是:中华人民共和国后来在20世纪80年代试图复兴这一艺术。由此可知,画线词revive意为“复兴,恢复”,和restore意思相近。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
In the long history of about 5,000 years, numerous Chinese traditional festivals were celebrated in memory of some significant days, some of which are passed down from generation to generation. 8 .
Qingming Festival
Qingming Festival is on the 15th day after Spring Equinox (春分), round April 4 or April 5 every year.People will go to worship their ancestors. 9 , so this festival is also called Tomb-sweeping Festival.In some areas, people are forbidden to use fire to cook food, so they only eat cool food.
Double Ninth Festival
10 .The Chinese character of September is the same as 9, so we get this special name.Chinese people, especially the north Chinese, climb the mountains to the peak to enjoy the wonderful scenery, and admire the beauty of chrysanthemum (菊花).
Winter Solstice
Winter Solstice is on around December 22 or 23 of solar calendar each year.From Winter Solstice on, the daytime will be longer and longer.That day people in different regions eat different food.In the northern region, people eat dumplings and wonton (馄饨), while in the southern region rice balls.
11
In China, this festival is in late January or early February, the last day of the lunar year.People celebrate it by having a family reunion dinner, setting off fireworks and staying up late. 12 , but if you did it, you have to say: “sui sui ping an”.It is a pun (双关语), meaning you will be healthy every year.
A.New Year's Eve
B.Mid-Autumn Festival
C.People always visit their friends and relatives
D.Breaking the dishes and bowls is a thing all the people scare
E.People always practice special traditional activities in each festival
F.It is celebrated on September 9th of the lunar calendar, around October
G.They remove the weeds growing on the ancestors' tombs to make them clean
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的一些传统节日的活动。
8.选E 空前面一句提到:在大约5 000年的漫长历史中,中国有许多传统节日是为了纪念一些重要的日子,其中一些节日代代相传。下文介绍了每一种节日的具体活动。故E项“在每个节日里,人们都要进行一些特殊的传统活动”承上启下,符合语境。
9.选G 由下文“so this festival is also called Tomb-sweeping Festival”以及该句句子结构可知,空格处和下文之间为因果关系。故G项“他们清除生长在祖先坟墓上的杂草,使其干净”衔接下文,符合语境。
10.选F 由上下文的每一种节日介绍方式可知,第一句为介绍该节日的具体时间。根据下文“The Chinese character of September is the same as 9, so we get this special name.”可知,空格处为Double Ninth Festival的具体时间介绍。故F项“它在农历九月初九,大约在十月左右庆祝”符合语境。
11.选A 空处为段落小标题,总结本段内容。下文提到:在中国,这个节日在1月底或2月初,农历年的最后一天。人们通过吃团圆饭、放烟花和守岁来庆祝它。由此可知,本段主要讲的是除夕夜的活动。故A项“除夕夜”适合作本段小标题。
12.选D 空后面提到:但是如果你这样做了,你必须说:“岁岁平安。”由此可知,此处讲的是打碎盘子在新年的寓意。故D项“打碎盘子和碗是所有人都害怕的事情”与下文语意连贯,下文是对上文的解释和说明。
