B Students from a middle school in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, spent 118 days creating a paper-cutting artwork. Their idea came from the famous ancient Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan. The artwork was created on the wall of the school’s culture hall. It was completed by 18 students from this school under the guidance of their teacher, Li Mei. The artwork is nearly 4 meters high and 12 meters long. This piece of work has surprised a lot of people on the Internet. According to the teacher, creating this artwork is part of the school’s traditional culture lessons. The process of the creation includes drawing the outline, cutting the paper, pasting the pieces, and then finishing the final artwork. Most of the students in this group had no paper-cutting experience. Their teacher helped them learn the skills and practice many times. The teacher said that the most difficult part of creating this artwork was the detail cutting, “It took us over a month to finish the outline and basic cutting work. In the following two to three months, we focused on perfecting the small details,” she said. After trying again and again, they finally achieved this great goal. Although there is a difference in style compared with that of Zhang Zeduan’s painting, the students are still very pleased with the final result. The difference is not so significant. The work still looks very amazing. “In the past, students could only see the artwork in books. And they were unable to fully experience its beauty. By creating the paper-cutting version, students can have a deeper understanding of the ancient Chinese artists’ wisdom,” Li said. 5. Where can we find the paper-cutting artwork in this school? A. On the wall of the culture hall. B. On the classroom’s blackboard. C. On a poster in the school library. D. On the playground’s notice board. 6. How large is this paper-cutting artwork? A. About 42 m² B. About 48 m² C. About 52 m² D. About 58 m² 7. What’s the biggest difficulty that the teacher and students met? A. The drawing of the outline. B. The cutting of small details. C. No paper-cutting experience. D. No guidance of the painter. 8. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. The beauty of ancient Chinese paper-cutting. B. The importance of learning traditional culture. C. The value of hands-on creation experience. D. The wisdom of ancient Chinese artists. C ① As cities develop rapidly, we are now facing another hidden problem—urban heat islands. ② With the increase of tall buildings and concrete roads, the temperature in cities is rising much faster than in rural areas, reported a study team from Tsinghua University, China. In the past two years, the team put more than 200 temperature sensors in Beijing. The temperatures they recorded were surprising. For example, the temperature in the city center can be up to 8℃ higher than that in the suburbs. After collecting information in Beijing, the team created computer models to see how temperatures will change in the city until 2030. ③ The models showed, when heated, the air quality may become worse, and people may have more health problems. This may even cause more energy use for air conditioning, making the heat worse in a cycle. ④ However, Wang Lin, who led the study, said in a report that “it takes a long time to see the bad effects”. As scientists have already known a lot about urban heat islands, future plans for cities should be considered. Green materials and more green spaces can be used to keep the heat down. ⑤ The team also pointed out that the rising temperature could be seen as an opportunity. City planners can try to use the heat from buildings to warm houses in winter. 9. According to the passage, what may NOT happen because of urban heat islands? A. Worse air quality. B. More health problems. C. Less energy use. D. Higher temperature in cities. 10. How does the writer develop his idea in paragraph 2? A. By giving an example. B. By telling a story. C. By showing a picture. D. By raising a question. 11. What can we do to reduce the urban heat islands? A. Build more tall buildings in the city center. B. Use more concrete roads in the city. C. Plant more trees and build more green spaces. D. Put more sensors in the city to record the temperature. 12. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. ①→②→③→④→⑤ B. ①→{②③}→{④⑤} C. ①→{②}→{③④⑤} D. ①→{②③④}→⑤ D Last spring, my daughter, Anna, left for college in another city. Our once busy home became quiet and empty. I missed her so much that I started sending her messages on the phone, mainly to ask about her life and remind her to take care of herself. One of my messages says, “You told me you caught a cold. If you are always so careless, you may get sick often and can’t study well.” I did get Anna’s messages, but most of them were about asking for money. I was a little upset. They were not different from the notes she used to leave on the fridge when she was at home. “I need to pay for my dorm fee. Please send me money!” “I bought a new laptop for my study. It cost me a lot. Help me please!” Recently, however, Anna begins to send me all kinds of articles. Some are about health, some are about life tips, and some are funny stories. She knows I have a lot of free time at home. She says they will help me live a healthier life and keep up with the young people. I read the articles slowly, like a careful student, with mixed feelings as well - my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my teacher! So I write back, “I’ve read all those articles, I’ll take them as a loving daughter’s love towards her mother. She must be thinking that her mother is still young enough to learn new things. That makes me feel proud. We parents can’t always keep up with the times, but we can try our best. Thank you, my daughter.” In this way we share ideas, with a warm and gentle language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel warm and happy. 13. What did the daughter often write about in the past according to the underlined sentence? A. Study. B. Money. C. Health. D. Life. 14. Why does Anna send her mother all kinds of articles? ① To ask her mother for more money. ② To give her mother some things to do. ③ To help her mother live a healthier life. ④ To help her mother keep up with the times. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 15. How does the writer’s feeling change? A. upset→missed→proud B. proud→upset→missed C. missed→upset→proud D. missed→proud→upset 16. Which part of a magazine may the article come from? A. Life. B. Health. C. Sports. D. Education. 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Study Skills Do you ever feel you don’t have enough time to study? Everyone has the same 24 hours each day.

It is my great honor to introduce Chinese paper-cutting to you. Paper-cutting is a traditional folk art with a history of over 1,500 years. Artists use red paper and simple scissors to cut out beautiful patterns, like flowers, animals and Chinese characters for good luck. It is not only a kind of art, but also a symbol of Chinese people’s wishes for a happy life. I recommend it because it shows the wisdom of Chinese people and is easy to learn. I hope you can try it and feel the beauty of Chinese culture. Thank you for listening. Hope you’ll enjoy yourselves in China. Best wishes Li Hui 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
