六、阅读理解
During Chinese New Year, a 40 - metre - long balloon loong (the Chinese pronunciation of dragon) was shown in Hong Kong. On January 24, the artwork was confirmed to have broken the Guinness World Record for being the world's largest balloon loong.
The loong is the symbol of power, energy and liveliness in Chinese culture. The record - breaking loong is made up of 38,000 beautiful balloons. It shows a golden light and has a sense of power.
"According to Chinese legends (神话), the loong controls rain. Only good weather can produce good crops, so the Chinese have admired and respected the loong since ancient times," balloon artist Wilson Pang said. He added that many sayings about the loong had good meanings, which were different from those about Western dragons.
Pang said that the artwork took him much time and that the most difficult part was the eyes. He made more than 10 drafts for one eye alone before he was satisfied. The Guinness certification officer was greatly impressed, saying it was one of the most attractive balloon artworks ever.
The model of the loong caught many people's attention. "Beautiful" "amazing" "fantastic" and "thanks for bringing us peace" were among many people's messages Pang received on social media. To thank people for their support, Pang printed 5,000 postcards based on the loong and had a meeting with them at a mall.
"To send a warm, loving message to the people of Hong Kong is what I always want to do," Pang said. "I hope to share what I have learned with young people. I have won many medals myself and I hope to support the next winners in the future."
Growing up in Hong Kong, a place both old and modern, Pang often thinks about how to present the beauty of Eastern culture with Western balloon art. The balloon artist hopes that one day he can introduce balloon works that show Chinese culture to the world. "This is what I am doing now," he said.
1. What can we learn from Paragraph 1 to Paragraph 3?
A. The loong is powerful and lazy in Chinese culture.
B. People respect the loong because it produces crops.
C. Sayings about Western dragons always have good meanings.
D. Ancient people believed good weather depended on the loong.
2. In Wilson Pang's eyes, the balloon artwork ____.
A. has perfect eyes in the beginning
B. has nothing to do with young people
C. is a way to send people a warm message
D. is easier to design than any other artwork
3. What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph?
A. The beauty of the Western balloon art and works.
B. Chinese culture that can be found in the balloon loong.
C. Pang's growing - up stories before becoming a balloon artist.
D. Hong Kong, a great place with ancient and modern cultures.
4. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Artist breaks record for largest loong
B. Chinese loong stands for special meanings
C. Hong Kong spreads traditional Chinese culture
D. Wilson Pang becomes famous as balloon artist
七、短文填空
In 1867, Caroline Shawk Brooks and her husband, Samuel, had a farm in Arkansas. From sunrise to sunset, Caroline and Samuel milked cows, gardened and 1 (pick) cotton. This left Caroline no time for her dream of becoming 2 artist. Time was not the only problem. Money was a worry too. The cotton crops were failing. Caroline decided to make butter from 3 (they) cows' milk and sell it at the market. But other farms also made and sold butter. 4 (draw) attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures.
Caroline had a simple system to keep the sculptures from melting (融化) as she formed them. She put the butter in a shallow (浅的) tin pan, which sat in a 5 (large) one filled with ice. Caroline's butter sculptures were so 6 (success) that she displayed them at fairs and exhibitions before long. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life - size statue called A Study in Butter—the Dreaming Iolanthe.
Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She 7 (final) opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble portraits. Some of these sculptures 8 (show) at the 1893 world's fair in Chicago.
But Caroline never stopped 9 (make) butter art. She considered butter as the best material to work with. At the 1893 fair, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.
Caroline died in St Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the 10 (one) known American butter sculptor.

My favourite art form
My favourite art form is painting. When I was a little kid, I was fascinated by the colorful world in paintings.
Once, I took part in a school painting competition. The theme was "My Dream". I spent a whole week thinking about and creating my work. I painted a picture of a girl flying in the sky, chasing her dreams. To my surprise, I won the first prize.
Painting not only brings me joy but also helps me express my thoughts and feelings. It's like a friend who listens to me without saying a word.
