Ⅳ.阅读理解
On the top floor of a workshop in Athens,Greece,a team of artists are busy creating faithful copies of the famous statue of Alexander the Great and the Venus de Milo.
“Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world.Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks.Prices start at $24 for a small Venus statue and go as high as $11,560 for a faithful copy of it,” says Maria Zafeiri,an artist at the workshop for 30 years.“It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them.They bring even more visitors to Greece.”
Making copies of ancient Greek statues isn’t new.Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829.
“The first copies were not for commercial reasons,but for scientific ones.Scholars wanted to study the ancients,” says Maria Zafeiri.“Later,everyone wanted statues in their house,above the fireplace.They were in all European living rooms.”
Some copies of ancient statues were terrible,but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.In 2018,the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BCE and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery (赝品),and removed it from view.“There are methods to fool the experts,” Maria Zafeiri says.“Such forgeries create a false image of Greek culture and mislead researchers.”
But aren’t Maria Zafeiri and her workshop also producing forgeries?“I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention.There are reproductions of designer bags,but that becomes forgeries when the reproducer says they’re real,” says Maria Zafeiri.“Our shop just feeds the desire of travelers to own something lovely to pack up or ship home.A good reproduction can extend your trip.It’s similar to a photograph of yourself while on vacation.It brings you back to that beautiful day at the Acropolis.”
1.How does Maria Zafeiri most probably feel about her work?
A.Ashamed. B.Proud.
C.Bored. D.Dissatisfied.
2.Who were the targeted customers of the reproduced ancient Greek statues in the 1830s?
A.Researchers. B.Businessmen.
C.Souvenir seekers. D.Treasure hunters.
3.What can be inferred about the Kouros statue bought by the Getty Museum?
A.The reproduction was worth the money.
B.The museum had a lot of such forgeries.
C.It was probably from a skilled artist.
D.It was created between 650 and 480 BCE.
4.What sets a forgery apart from a reproduction according to Maria Zafeiri?
A.The price. B.The material.
C.The quality. D.The purpose.

Ⅶ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I always think of my mother as a superhero,because she never runs out of room in her heart for anyone or anything.
I could write about all of the wonderful things she has done,but I want to focus on one project she does every year that has shaped my whole family and everyone around us:She saves money,and she puts it in a little jar (罐子) that we refer to as “The Charity Jar”.Every year,she takes this money and puts it toward something—an act of kindness,anything that can help someone.Sometimes,she buys something for an organization that needs it.
If you ask her about this tradition,she will tell you that she is carrying on something that her mother used to do around the holidays.If you ask anyone else who knows her,however,they will tell you that she has a huge heart.She manages to get our whole family involved (参与) in this movement every year.Last year,she helped an organization where I volunteered—Ruth’s Place—a homeless women’s shelter in Wilkes-Barre,Pennsylvania.
I had been helping a professor run a writing workshop in the shelter when I noticed the wish list on the wall:warm clothes,a coffee maker and supplies.I told my mom,and within a day,she had already asked if our family wanted to help Ruth’s Place.We all agreed and decided that the coffee maker and supplies would be the best things for our family to work on together.
A few days later,Mom found a coffee maker online,and showed it to us.With a few clicks,it was on its way.She also baked(烘焙) fresh chocolate cupcakes for the women in the shelter.We gathered the rest of the supplies and called the shelter to find a day when we could deliver them.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
That day I drove my mom to the shelter very slowly. ________________________________

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,讲述了一位希腊艺术家Maria Zafeiri与其工作室复制古希腊雕塑的故事,探讨了复制品与赝品的区别及对文化的影响。
1.B 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world.Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks.”以及“It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them.They bring even more visitors to Greece.”可知,他们的作品会出现在世界各地,也会出现在博物馆,尤其是进入博物馆的作品得到了欣赏的目光,为希腊带来了更多的游客,这是令人兴奋的。由此可推知,Maria对自己的作品是感到骄傲的。
2.A 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829.”以及第四段中的“The first copies were not for commercial reasons,but for scientific ones.Scholars wanted to study the ancients”可知,1829年以后出现了对古希腊雕塑的复制,而最初的复制是出于科学研究原因,因此可推知,19世纪30年代复制的古希腊雕像的目标客户是学者和研究人员。
3.C 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.In 2018,the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BCE and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery,and removed it from view”可知,该雕像被复制得如此忠实于原作,以至于被Getty Museum博物馆以600万美元购买,且非常著名。由此可推知,其复制者应该是一位技艺高超的艺术家。
4.D 细节理解题。根据文章末尾段“I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention.”可知,在她看来,两者的区别在于创作者的意图和目的。
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了适应不同文化的重要性,并提出了一系列步骤来帮助人们拥抱文化多样性。
1.G 根据上文“Acknowledge and accept that each culture has its own way of life.Admit that no culture is superior or inferior; they are simply different.”可知,此处强调承认文化没有优劣之分,只是不同而已,设空处应该进一步阐述传承差异带来的积极影响。G项符合语境,指出承认文化差异有助于形成对新体验的积极态度,与上文内容呼应。
2.D 根据上文的“You should understand the fundamental aspects of the culture you come across.”可知,此处强调你应该了解你所遇到的文化的基本方面。D项强调了解历史、传统等,正是对“基本方面”的具体化,与上下文内容一致。
3.A 本段小标题“Exploring local food”以及设空处上文“Try the local cuisine to experience the diversity of flavors and cooking styles.”都强调通过探索当地美食体验不同的文化。A项“Whether it’s seafood or dessert”为让步状语从句,与下文“each bite can offer a connection to the culture’s heritage”相衔接,指出无论当地的食物是海鲜还是甜点,品尝一口都能让人联想到当地的文化遗产,进一步强调了探索当地美食有助于了解当地文化,符合语境。
4.C 根据上文“While you’re learning about others,you also have the chance to share stories and aspects of your own culture.”可知,此处强调文化适应是相互的。C项指出这种交流可以增进理解,正好说明了分享和了解是相互的,并能增进理解,与上文内容一致。
5.F 根据上文“In a word,adapting to different cultures is about embracing the diversity with an open heart and mind.”可知,此处强调适应不同的文化就是以开放的心态和心灵去拥抱多样性。F项进一步阐释了适应文化多样性所需的品质,即尊重和愿意学习、分享,承接上文所提到的以开放的心态接纳多样性。故选F项。
Ⅵ.A Traditional Chinese Culture Week
A traditional Chinese culture week campaign was launched last week in our school to enhance students’ confidence in our national culture.
During the campaign,we students were encouraged to participate in numerous cultural activities,including singing Chinese folk songs,attending Chinese calligraphy classes and introducing traditional Chinese festivals.Every one of us chose one to our taste and we enjoyed ourselves very much.
The campaign was a success and has gained in popularity among us students,which will encourage us to further spread Chinese culture in the future.
Ⅶ.That day I drove my mom to the shelter very slowly. The anticipation of the women’s reactions to our gifts filled the car with a sense of warmth and purpose.As we arrived at the shelter,we were greeted by the grateful faces of the women.My mom,with her usual grace and humility,began to distribute the supplies we had brought.The coffee maker was received with cheers of joy,and the sight of fresh,homemade cupcakes brought smiles to their faces.
As we left,we were met with heartfelt thanks. The women at the shelter expressed their gratitude with warm hugs and words of appreciation.Their smiles were the best reward we could have asked for.As we drove away,my mom looked at me with a satisfied smile on her face.That day,I learned more than ever about the power of kindness and the difference one person can make.I realized that my mom,with her Charity Jar,was not just a superhero to me,but to everyone she touched with her acts of kindness.
