It's the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to enjoy. Since the Warring States Period, people loved sweets and had different ways of making sugar. In the TangDynasty, people greatly improved skills of sugar making. So sugar, the rare thing that once could only enter homes of the kings, also went into common people's homes. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting came out. Sugar painting is different from other paintings. Sugar painters use syrup(糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the“paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the“paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to make the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is finished. However, it's a pity that this art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes(形状) has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What's worse, only a few old sugar painters are willing to pass on this kind of art. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand.However, sugar painting has entered people's daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual(精神的) support of people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) in China.So we Chinese should remember, miss and pass on the art till forever. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( )26. What does the underlined word“common” in Paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese? A.普通的 B.热情的 C.可怜的 D.特殊的 ( )27. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why people were interested in sugar painting. B. How sugar making became sugar painting art. C. What people thought of sugar painting in the past. D. How people made sugar in different ways in old days. ( )28. Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly? A. To show their excellent skills. B. To stop syrup becoming hard. C. To protect the spoon and the table. D. To save people's waiting time. ( )29. How might the writer feel about today's sugar painting according toParagraph 4? A. Hopeful. B. Angry. C. Unclear. D. Worried. ( )30. Which can be the best title for the article? A. History of sugar painting. B. Improving the taste of sugar painting. C. Learning about the art of sugar painting. D. Ways to change the future of sugar painting. C Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure(冒险)—— those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who try to find an immediate thrill(毛骨悚然)from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity.You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的) rope to your ankles(脚踝). You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping inelude jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs(峭壁). Why do people take part in such activities us these? Some psychologists(心理学家) suggest that it is because life in modern socioties has become safe and boring. Life, according to many people, offers little excitement. They live and work safely and comfortably. The answer for some of these people is to try to find danger in activities such as bungee jumping. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 )31. Which of the following is the best title for this test? A.

People take part in dangerous sports mainly because A. they want to have a change in sports B. there is not much work for them to do C. there is not much excitement in their lives D. they are eurious about such sports )35. It seemed that the writer of the text is . A. afraid of dangerous sport B. against(反对) dangerous sports C. for(支持) dangerous sports D. neither for nor against dangerous sports D Paper cutting has a history of over 1,500 years. 36 This is why people call them“window flowers”. They are still popular at present, except on windows, people also stick them on doors and walls. 37 People can give others paper cutting as gifts, especially during special festivals like the ChineseNew Year. 38 Not much. Red paper, a pair of seissors or perhaps a knife. Then you can try to make your own paper-cuts. You can sometimes use pencils to draw designs first. 39 Although paper cutting is easy to start with, paper artists usually need years of training and practice. We Chinese people love paper cuttings, as we care, so we share. 40 Young people around the world can enjoy the beauty of paper cuttings without leaving home. 根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A.
