Jim and Jack came from a small town. They were ceramic (陶瓷) artists and good at making pots (罐子).
They heard city people liked pots, so they decided to sell their pots to a big city. Through more than ten years of hard work, they made the best pots in the town. They hired a ship to take all the pots to the city.
Unluckily the ship met a strong storm on the way. When the ship landed safely, all the pots were broken into pieces. The two men’s dream of becoming rich was broken along with the pots.
Jim suggested that they should stay in a hotel for the night and walk around the city to enjoy the sights the next day. Jack looked at Jim in pain and asked, “You still want to go around the city? Don’t you show any care to these pots? We worked so hard to make them!” “We are unlucky enough to lose the pots. We will be more unlucky if we lose happiness,” Jim said calmly.
Jack thought for a while and nodded. The next day, he followed Jim around the city and had a good time for a few days. During their stay in the city, they found by accident that people there decorated their walls with things that looked like what they used to make pots. So Jim and Jack used the broken pots to make mosaic tiles (马赛克瓷砖) and sold them to the city people. In this way, they made much money and returned home happily.

If Confucius was still alive today and could celebrate his September 28th birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing idea. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese study programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks (缺点) of Westerners’ philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, even if few can remember his birthday, he will not be forgotten by people in the West.
38.How does the writer start the passage?
A.By telling a story. B.By showing facts.
C.By giving an example. D.By imagining a picture.
39.What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards spreading Chinese culture to the world?
A.Worried. B.Stressed. C.Confident. D.Devoted.
40.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Students in the USA take an active part in studying Chinese now.
B.Businessmen in the USA prefer Chinese customers to Confucius.
C.People in the Western countries never forget Confucius’ birthday.
D.America has set up Confucius Institutes to learn Chinese culture better.
41.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Big Fans of the Big Hero. B.Old Thinker with a Big Future.
C.Forgotten Wisdom in America. D.Chinese Culture all over the world.

My feet race up the path back to Grandpa’s yard as fast as I can make them go. Grandpa’s dog, Bandit, is at my heels. Our breath makes a big cloud ball in the cold. My grandpa is scratching the ground with a hoe (锄头). “Grandpa, I heard something strange in your woods!” I tell him.
“Let’s go find out what it is,” he says. He takes my hand. Grandpa’s big hand feels warm and safe.
My grandpa lives at the top of a mountain all by himself. There are no other children here. So sometimes I go into the woods with Bandit and pretend (假装) that I am Alex, the Adventurer. I must stay near the small path and I can’t go past the big rock. This way, Grandpa can always see me from the yard.
As we hike toward the big rock, I hold Grandpa’s hand tighter.
Cack-cack-cack-cack! There’s that sound! I hold Grandpa’s leg. “What is that, Grandpa?” l whisper.
“It’s the first sign of spring,” he says. “How about you go past the big rock a bit? See if you can find out what it is.”
“By myself?” I ask.
“I promise it’s safe,” he tells me. “And I’ll stay here by the big rock where you can see me.”
“No.” I start to say. I look at Grandpa. His whole face seems to be smiling, even his eyes. I wonder what an adventurer would do. I stand up straighter and make a brave face. “Grandpa,” I say, “I think I can do it.”
Cack-cack-cack! The sound is even louder on the other side of the rock. I stop and look back. My face must not look so brave, because Grandpa says, “It’s all right, just a little further.”
Crunch! Crunch! My feet step on the dead leaves as I get closer. Suddenly it becomes quiet. I hear Grandpa whisper, “Just sit down and watch.”
I sit, holding on to my knees. My heart is beating fast. I do not see any animals. You can see a long way into the forest when there are no leaves. I look up. The trees look like skeletons against the sky. Nothing there. Just ahead of me there is a big puddle (水坑).
Cack-cack-cack! The sound becomes terribly loud in front of me. My eyes move fast to the puddle. Several pairs of golden eyes are sticking up out of the water! Long brown legs float behind. “Frogs!” I shout.
Grandpa sits down beside me. “These are wood frogs,” he explains. They’re calling to each other because it’s time for them to lay eggs. They hide all year, except for this short time.” He points at a big pile of frog eggs in the puddle. They look like jelly bubbles.
As I head back up the small path, holding Grandpa’s hand, I look back and smile. There’s something special in Grandpa’s woods.
42.When did the story most probably happen?
A.At the beginning of winter. B.In midsummer. C.In early autumn. D.In early spring.
43.Why did the writer mention the nickname, Alex the Adventure, in Paragraph 3?
A.Because the author got the nickname because of her bravery.
B.Because her grandpa called her that to encourage her to be brave.
C.Because she would be able to get more strength from the nickname.
D.Because the nickname was given by her friends in the woods.
44.Which is the correct order of the things below?
a. I race back to Grandpa’s yard.
b. I pretend that I am Alex the Adventure.
c. I find several frogs in the puddle.
d. I stand up- straighter and make a brave face.
e. My grandpa and I hike towards the big rock.
f. I hear something strange in the woods.
A.b-f-a-e-d-c B.b-a-f-e-c-d C.f-a-b-d-e-c D.f-b-a-d-c-e
45.What might be the best title for the passage?

Thanks to proper translation, China’s cultural influence is starting to rise around the world. Form sci-fi to wuxia to animated movies, translation bridges the language gap. In recent years, more and more translators from both China and a 61 are working to bring Chinese stories to new audiences. Here are some popular Chinese books and movies that have been w 62 enjoyed in the West.
The Three-Body Problem
This Hugo Award winner has changed h 63 people look at Chinese sci-fi. Its translator, Ken Liu, contributed to this. Born in China and raised in the US, Liu can speak both Chinese and English. He also writes sci-fi stories himself. That made him the best c 64 to translate the story. Liu didn’t translate the book word for word. Instead, he tried to make it easier for English readers to understand. He changed the structure(结构) of the story and m 65 its historical background to the beginning. The English version has been enjoyed by many foreign readers, including the former US president Barack Obama.
Legends of the Condor Heroes《射雕英雄传》
Almost everyone in China knows Jin Yong and his wuxia novels. But in the West, he is not that f 66 . One reason is that his works are hard to translate. But British translator Anna Holmwood, who began to learn Chinese at 21, took on the challenge. When she read Legends of the Condor Heroes, she loved the wuxia world and characters in the book and d 67 to bring the book to more people. In her translation, she made many terms easy and natural to understand, such as “the 18 palm attacks to defeat dragons (降龙十八掌)”. When the English version came out in 2018, it turned out to be a 68 success in translation. It was reprinted seven times in the UK within just a few months.
Ne Zha
In 2019, when the animated movie Ne Zha went to North American theaters, there was wide discussion online about the translation. People found it hard to translate some Chinese phrases into English. One e 69 was the Taoist spell—“jijirululing(急急如律令)”. Jerimiah Willhite, an American translator who learned Chinese while he was in college and is a big fan of Chinese culture, m 70 to do it. He has read many classic Chinese books, including Tao Te Ching. He translated the spell to “be quick to obey my command (指令)”. His work has helped English speakers enjoy the movie. On the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, Ne Zha has a high rating (评分) of 88 percent.
六、阅读与回答问题(本题共 5 小题; 每小题 2分, 满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
What’s the first thing that comes into your mind when you think of wheat straw (稻草)? Most people would probably see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor (非遗传承人), can turn the straw into beautiful artworks.
The earliest straw-weaving (编织) works were found at Hemudu Cultural Ruins (遗迹), a Neolithic cultural site in Zhejiang Province. This discovery means a lot to Chinese traditional culture. The Book of Rites also records that there were already mats (垫子) made of grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen (工匠) during the Zhou Dynasty.
Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving: choosing from materials is the first step of a process that may take several weeks, or even months to complete. You need to draw the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.
In the past, straw items could be found almost in every family in the countryside, in the form of straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But with the development of industry, many of these products are made in factories. This makes people gain little money, and there are only about 100 people joining in the work across the country.
Wu says to a news reporter that more craftsmen should work together to make a difference to the spread of the traditional culture. Many hands make light work.
71.What may come into most people’s mind when thinking of wheat straw?
72.Where were the earliest straw-weaving works found?
73.How long may it take to choose from materials?
74.What is the hardest part of straw weaving?
75.What other advice would you give to craftsmen to spread the traditional culture?

12.In the film Murder in a Country House, a doctor is found________in the house, so the film is ________horror and mysteries.
A.dying; fill of B.dead; full of
C.dead; full with D.die; filled with
【答案】B
【详解】句意:在电影《乡宅凶杀案》中,一个医生被发现死在家中,所以这部电影充满了恐怖和神秘。
考查词义辨析和形容词短语。dying垂死的,形容词;dead死掉的,形容词;die死,动词。根据电影名“Murder in a Country House”可知,发生了凶杀案,所以人是死掉的,用形容词dead做宾语补足语;be filled with/be full of是固定短语。翻译为“充满”。故选B。
13.The young man had some bad fish yesterday. __________, he felt sick this morning.
A.Because B.Because of C.As a result D.As a result of

14.They’re ________ poor ________ they don’t have anything to eat.
A.so, that B.too, that C.too, to D.such, that
【答案】A
【详解】句意:他们如此穷以至于他们没有任何东西吃。
考查连词短语辨析。so...that...如此……以至于……,so修饰形容词或副词,that引导结果状语从句;too...that...搭配不当;too...to...太……而不能……,too修饰形容词或副词,to后面接动词原形;such...that...如此……以至于……,such修饰名词,that引导结果状语从句。本题中,第一个空后面的poor是形容词,所以应该用so来修饰;第二个空后面是句子,所以应该用that来引导结果状语从句。故选A。
15.They tried their best ________ the ship ________ down. But failed.
A.to prevent, going B.prevented, from going
C.prevent, going D.to prevent, from going
【答案】D
【详解】句意:他们尽最大的努力阻止船下沉,但失败了。

Unluckily the ship met a strong storm on the way. When the ship landed safely, all the pots were broken into pieces. The two men’s dream of becoming rich was broken along with the pots.
Jim suggested that they should stay in a hotel for the night and walk around the city to enjoy the sights the next day. Jack looked at Jim in pain and asked, “You still want to go around the city? Don’t you show any care to these pots? We worked so hard to make them!” “We are unlucky enough to lose the pots. We will be more unlucky if we lose happiness,” Jim said calmly.
Jack thought for a while and nodded. The next day, he followed Jim around the city and had a good time for a few days. During their stay in the city, they found by accident that people there decorated their walls with things that looked like what they used to make pots.

If Confucius was still alive today and could celebrate his September 28th birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing idea. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese study programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks (缺点) of Westerners’ philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, even if few can remember his birthday, he will not be forgotten by people in the West.
38.How does the writer start the passage?
A.By telling a story. B.By showing facts.
C.By giving an example. D.By imagining a picture.
39.What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards spreading Chinese culture to the world?
A.Worried. B.Stressed. C.Confident. D.Devoted.
40.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Students in the USA take an active part in studying Chinese now.
B.Businessmen in the USA prefer Chinese customers to Confucius.
C.People in the Western countries never forget Confucius’ birthday.
D.America has set up Confucius Institutes to learn Chinese culture better.
41.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Big Fans of the Big Hero. B.Old Thinker with a Big Future.
C.Forgotten Wisdom in America. D.Chinese Culture all over the world.
【答案】38.D 39.C 40.A 41.B

My feet race up the path back to Grandpa’s yard as fast as I can make them go. Grandpa’s dog, Bandit, is at my heels. Our breath makes a big cloud ball in the cold. My grandpa is scratching the ground with a hoe (锄头). “Grandpa, I heard something strange in your woods!” I tell him.
“Let’s go find out what it is,” he says. He takes my hand. Grandpa’s big hand feels warm and safe.
My grandpa lives at the top of a mountain all by himself. There are no other children here. So sometimes I go into the woods with Bandit and pretend (假装) that I am Alex, the Adventurer. I must stay near the small path and I can’t go past the big rock. This way, Grandpa can always see me from the yard.
As we hike toward the big rock, I hold Grandpa’s hand tighter.
Cack-cack-cack-cack! There’s that sound! I hold Grandpa’s leg. “What is that, Grandpa?” l whisper.
“It’s the first sign of spring,” he says. “How about you go past the big rock a bit? See if you can find out what it is.”
“By myself?” I ask.
“I promise it’s safe,” he tells me. “And I’ll stay here by the big rock where you can see me.”
“No.” I start to say. I look at Grandpa. His whole face seems to be smiling, even his eyes. I wonder what an adventurer would do. I stand up straighter and make a brave face. “Grandpa,” I say, “I think I can do it.”
Cack-cack-cack! The sound is even louder on the other side of the rock. I stop and look back. My face must not look so brave, because Grandpa says, “It’s all right, just a little further.”
Crunch! Crunch! My feet step on the dead leaves as I get closer. Suddenly it becomes quiet. I hear Grandpa whisper, “Just sit down and watch.”
I sit, holding on to my knees. My heart is beating fast. I do not see any animals. You can see a long way into the forest when there are no leaves. I look up. The trees look like skeletons against the sky. Nothing there. Just ahead of me there is a big puddle (水坑).
Cack-cack-cack! The sound becomes terribly loud in front of me. My eyes move fast to the puddle. Several pairs of golden eyes are sticking up out of the water! Long brown legs float behind. “Frogs!” I shout.
Grandpa sits down beside me. “These are wood frogs,” he explains. They’re calling to each other because it’s time for them to lay eggs. They hide all year, except for this short time.” He points at a big pile of frog eggs in the puddle. They look like jelly bubbles.
As I head back up the small path, holding Grandpa’s hand, I look back and smile. There’s something special in Grandpa’s woods.
42.When did the story most probably happen?
A.At the beginning of winter. B.In midsummer. C.In early autumn. D.In early spring.
43.Why did the writer mention the nickname, Alex the Adventure, in Paragraph 3?
A.Because the author got the nickname because of her bravery.
B.Because her grandpa called her that to encourage her to be brave.

44.细节理解题。根据“So sometimes I go into the woods with Bandit and pretend (假装) that I am Alex, the Adventurer.”,“I heard something strange in your woods!”,“My feet race up the path back to Grandpa’s yard as fast as I can make them go.”,“This way, Grandpa can always see me from the yard.”,“I stand up straighter and make a brave face.”以及“Several pairs of golden eyes are sticking up out of the water! Long brown legs float behind. “Frogs!” I shout.”可知,本文是按照b. 假装探险者 > f. 听到奇怪的声音 > a. 跑回爷爷的院子 > e. 和爷爷一起走向大岩石 > d. 站直表现出勇敢 > c. 发现青蛙这样的顺序进行的。故选A。

What’s the first thing that comes into your mind when you think of wheat straw (稻草)? Most people would probably see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor (非遗传承人), can turn the straw into beautiful artworks.
The earliest straw-weaving (编织) works were found at Hemudu Cultural Ruins (遗迹), a Neolithic cultural site in Zhejiang Province. This discovery means a lot to Chinese traditional culture. The Book of Rites also records that there were already mats (垫子) made of grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen (工匠) during the Zhou Dynasty.
Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving: choosing from materials is the first step of a process that may take several weeks, or even months to complete. You need to draw the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.
In the past, straw items could be found almost in every family in the countryside, in the form of straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But with the development of industry, many of these products are made in factories. This makes people gain little money, and there are only about 100 people joining in the work across the country.
Wu says to a news reporter that more craftsmen should work together to make a difference to the spread of the traditional culture. Many hands make light work.
