Han Dynasty (202 BC－AD 220) This period marked the significant development of the manufacturing of guqin and its music.The example unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tomb in Changsha, Hunan province, proves that guqin had developed into the form known today during that period.It shows 7 strings and 13 markers indicating the pressing positions of overtone series. Northern Wei Dynasty (386－534) Buddhism and its musical culture spread extensively during this period.Buddhist temples provided places for musical activities, which were recorded in many of the existing stone carvings.Located in Gongyi, Henan Province, the Grotlo Temple is famous for its reliefs representing musical events.They are precious historical materials reflecting the music characteristics of the dynasty. Song Dynasty (960－1279) With economic development, a variety of musical cultures emerged to meet the entertainment needs of different social classes.Part of the painting Life along the Bian River at the Pure Brightness Festival vividly reveals a storytelling performance.The painter adopted delicate techniques to truly record a street performer, whose superb skills are reflected by each listener's show of appreciation. Ming Dynasty (1368－1644) At this time, traditional Chinese operas developed rapidly, promoting the formation of many singing styles.People began to enjoy operas and drama stages were built.Covering a construction area of more than 160 square meters, the Fancun village drama stage in Shanxi Province provides rich materials for the study of the local folk culture. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代的音乐遗产。 1．Which heritage would a fan of classical instruments explore？(　　) A．The Ming Dynasty drama stage.

Lee，32，is extremely busy in the summer months.Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers，Lee says，he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not.He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers，and puts thousands of watermelons through the “knock test” daily，before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies. The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures.In China，it is considered a national habit.Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is well-spent.Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller. As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way，those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand.Lee is one among the growing group.Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of e-buyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality. Lee，who was once an award-winning soccer player，now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”．He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice (学徒) to an experienced farmer. After a year's trial and error，Lee worked independently as a quality checker.“It is a highly demanding task.During the apprenticeship，I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment.There are just no shortcuts，” he said. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章以Lee为例子介绍了随着在线西瓜销量的快速增长，一种新兴职业“敲瓜员”的出现以及需求量大的现象。 4．What is the main purpose of the text？(　　) A．To introduce an emerging profession. B．To describe Lee's career transformation. C．To discuss the importance of fruit quality testers. D．To explain the cultural role of watermelon-knocking. 解析：A　写作意图题。通读全文，尤其是第五段的“melon-knocking as an emerging profession”可知，本文以Lee为例介绍了新兴职业“敲瓜员”的相关情况。由此可推知，本文的目的是介绍一个新兴职业，故选A。 5．What has led to the high demand for watermelon quality testers？(　　) A．The popularity of watermelons. B．The big harvest of watermelons. C．An increase in watermelon prices. D．A rapid rise in online watermelon sales. 解析：D　细节理解题。 根据第一段的描述可知，从2020年到2022年，西瓜在平台上的销量增长了六倍，导致对西瓜质量测试员的需求量越来越高，故选D。 6．Why does Lee describe himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”？(　　) A．He was once an award-winning soccer player. B．He dreams of being a professional melon-knocker. C．He was taught by an experienced watermelon farmer. D．He ensures that customers enjoy watermelons of quality. 解析：D　推理判断题。根据第四段的描述可知，随着水果销售大量转移到在线平台，对那些靠用手指检查水果质量谋生的人的需求量很大。Lee是这个不断壮大的群体中的一员，他们的任务是代表在线买家进行敲击测试，并确保被选择在线上销售的水果在大小和质量上是统一的。Lee形容自己是“西瓜的守门员”是因为他确保客户享受到优质的西瓜，故选D。 7．What can we learn from Lee's words in the last paragraph？(　　) A．Seeing is believing. B．Every man has his value. C．Great efforts and practice matter. D．Excellence can be found in any profession. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中Lee的话“这是一项要求很高的任务。在学徒期间，我经常敲开瓜来确认我的判断。没有捷径可走。”可推知，他的不断努力和敲瓜的实践经验使他最后成为一个成功的敲瓜员，故选C。 C 难度：☆☆☆☆ From beautiful bronze (青铜) wine cups to grand bronze ding (food containers)，this exhibition features discoveries that will fundamentally change visitors' understanding of ancient Chinese civilization. At about the same time that Stonehenge was rising in England，a Bronze Age culture was developing in China that in many respects was seldom equaled and never surpassed.This development seemed to have begun by 1600 BC in the Shang (about 1600 BC－1046 BC) along the Yellow River.For thousands of years，this area had witnessed cultures of increasing complexity，which laid the foundation of the Chinese civilization.By the time of the Bronze Age，this culture was characterized by a strong centralized government，urban communities with obvious social classes，a distinctive system of writing，strict religious rituals，diversified art forms，and advanced bronze-producing methods. Unlike other cultures，where bronze was first used chiefly for tools and weapons，in China，bronze was used to make vessels (容器) that played central roles in official ceremonies and ancestor worship for more than 1，000 years，even after the official beginnings of the Iron Age in 400 BC.Possession of bronze vessels thus became a symbol for the holding of power and rulers used bronze cups and food containers to present offerings of food and wine to royal ancestors and gods. During Shang times，wine played a major part in such ceremonies，and containers for wine therefore far outnumbered other types.Then，the Shang were criticized for too much wine drinking by its enemy，the Zhou，who felt that the drinking had offended Heaven and given the Zhou the right to overthrow the Shang.Safeguarding its own dynasty，the Zhou replaced the wine vessels with more practical cooking and storage tools. After the Shang period，bronze vessels became more important as expressions of personal status than as vehicles for official ceremonies.This is evident from the changing content of bronze inscriptions.Carved into the surface of a vessel，these writings first appeared during the late Shang period as an identification of the vessel's owner or of the ancestor to whom it was dedicated.During the Western Zhou period，inscriptions became increasingly common and lengthier，praising the achievements of the owners. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了青铜器在古代中国的主要用途。 8．By the time Stonehenge was rising in England，________．(　　) A．the Chinese had yet to invent their writing system. B．China was still relatively backward in many respects. C.China had already had a strong centralized government. D．social classes just started to emerge in the Chinese cities. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段“At about the same time that Stonehenge was rising in England，a Bronze Age culture was developing in China ... By the time of the Bronze Age，this culture was characterized by a strong centralized government...”可知，在英格兰还处于Stonehenge时期时，中国已经建立了比较强大的中央政府。 9．What is the third paragraph mainly about？(　　) A．The main applications of bronze in China. B．The complex official ceremonies in China. C．The significance of the discovery of bronze. D．The differences between China and other countries. 解析：A　段落大意题。根据第三段可知，这一段主要是介绍青铜器在中国古代的主要用途：祭祀及显示权势。 10．Which of the following most probably belongs to the Zhou？(　　) A．Huge bronze ding with short religious texts. B.Bronze vessels showing the kings' achievements. C．An unearthed temple with lots of bronze wine cups. D．An ancient kitchen with lots of bronze cooking pots. 解析：D　推理判断题。根据第四段“Safeguarding its own dynasty，the Zhou replaced the wine vessels with more practical cooking and storage tools.”可推断，配有很多青铜炊具的古厨房很可能是属于周朝的文物。 11．From which is the text most probably taken？(　　) A．A science report. B．An exhibit brochure. C．A history textbook.
