She never expected herself to become a tea master who helped build a cultural bridge. It all started in 2015 when a German tourist named Klus walked into her shop. With the help of a translating app, Wu patiently showed him the way to properly brew (沏) Biluochun, Suzhou’s green tea. Klus returned every day and brought more friends each time. Seeing how interested they were in Chinese tea, Ms. Wu started a weekly activity called “Tea Culture Saturday”. She showed foreigners how to brew tea with traditional methods—from choosing the water temperature to following tea making rules. Her daughter Lily, a college student, helped translate. Soon, her tea house was always crowded with visitors, including students and business people from different places. “I used to think foreigners wouldn’t understand our tea culture, but they love it deeply. Some of them even treat their friends with Chinese tea at home,” Ms. Wu said. One of her favorite moments was when Sarah, a Canadian, gave her a notebook filled with tea notes written in both English and Chinese. “This is why I keep teaching,” Ms. Wu said, showing the treasured notebook. Now, her tea house appears in travel guides as “Suzhou’s cultural living room.” For tourists, every cup of tea served is a window on the tea culture of this ancient city. 5. How did Ms. Wu communicate with the German tourist Klus in 2015? A. Speaking German herself. B. Using a translating app . C. With her daughter’s help. D. By writing in Chinese. 6.

Or the ones who notice when you’re feeling down? Those are your close friends. Not every friend you have is a close friend—and that’s okay. Studies show that most people can have only a few close friends because of limited time and energy. Psychologists (心理学家) point out that most people have around five close friends. Another study finds that having three to six close friends makes people happiest. It also finds that having more than six close friends doesn’t make people feel much happier. But friendships aren’t just about closeness. According to a study, you might have 25 or more casual friends (泛泛之交), like classmates, neighbors, or other people you know from everyday life. Because no one person can meet all your needs, having different kinds of friends helps in many ways. They can take some pressure off you and provide a safety net when you lose important friends. What’s more, they can also come up with new ideas—some may surprise you. There are no strict rules on how many close or casual friends you should have, so don’t worry if you have more or less. Some people have more than ten close friends, while others are happy with just one or two. What matters most is how you feel. If you’re happy with your friendships, then you have enough. Just trust your own feelings. 9. How many close friends make people happiest? A. Around five. B. Three to six. C. More than six. D. 25 or more. 10. What is the advantage of having casual friends? A. They can meet all your needs. B. They can solve all your problems for you. C. They can offer you new and surprising ideas. D. They will all become your close friends one day. 11. What is the writer’s advice according to the last paragraph? A. To try to make more close friends. B. To follow strict rules about friendship. C. To compare your number of friends with others’. D. To trust your own feelings about your friendships. 12. In which part of a magazine can we read the text? A. Science and technology. B. History and art. C. Life and health. D. Earth and nature. 【答案】9. B 10. C 11. D 12. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了人们拥有亲密朋友和泛泛之交的数量，以及拥有不同类型朋友的好处，同时强调了对于朋友数量不必过于担忧，重要的是自己的感受。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Another study finds that having three to six close friends makes people happiest.”可知，拥有三到六个亲密朋友会让人最快乐。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“What’s more, they can also come up with new ideas—some may surprise you.”可知，拥有泛泛之交的好处是他们能提供新的、令人惊喜的想法。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What matters most is how you feel. If you’re happy with your friendships, then you have enough. Just trust your own feelings.”可知，作者建议要相信自己对友谊的感受。故选D。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要围绕友谊展开，探讨了朋友数量和类型以及友谊对人们生活的影响，与生活和健康相关，所以最有可能在杂志的“生活与健康”部分读到这篇文章。故选C。 D Today, there are a number of exciting ways to have fun. A lot of fun activities depend heavily on modern technology. Can you imagine how people in ancient times had fun? In fact, people have given new life to these old traditions, so that people of all ages can still enjoy them. And flying kites is one of the most popular ones. Kites have a long history in China. According to history, the famous Chinese thinker Mozi created a flying wooden “bird”. Later, people used bamboo to take the place of wood, and covered the bamboo frame (框架) with paper.

By the time of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), kites became a popular toy all around China. Flying kites not only links us to our ancestors, but also gives people a way to express creativity. Every year, kite fliers from all over the world come to the Weifang International Kite Festival in Shandong Province’s Weifang City. The city has been known as the “kite capital of the world” because of the popularity of the festival. During the festival, thousands of kites fill the sky. There are both traditional kites like birds and fish, and modern ones like TV and cartoon characters. Some kites can be over 200 meters long. They fly into the sky in the shape of dragons, spaceships and even high-speed trains. 13. What did Mozi create according to the text? A. A bamboo dragon. B. A paper kite. C. A toy for the army. D. A wooden “bird”. 14. What was the earliest main use of kites in China? A. For sending messages. B. For celebrating festivals. C. For children to play with. D. For testing new materials. 15.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了如今有很多有趣的娱乐方式，很多活动依赖现代技术，而文章重点介绍了放风筝这一古老传统在新时代焕发生机的情况。风筝在中国历史悠久，最初由墨子创造木质“飞鸟”，后演变为纸风筝，起初多用于军队传递信息等，后来逐渐成为大众娱乐玩具。潍坊因举办著名的国际风筝节而被称为“世界风筝之都”，放风筝不仅连接着我们与祖先，还让人们能表达创造力。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“According to history, the famous Chinese thinker Mozi created a flying wooden ‘bird’.”可知，墨子创造了一只会飞的木质“鸟”。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“At first, kites were mostly used by the army. They were used to send messages and test the wind.”可知，在中国，风筝最早主要用于军队传递信息和测试风向，即传递信息是其主要用途。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The city has been known as the ‘kite capital of the world’ because of the popularity of the festival.”可知，潍坊被称为“世界风筝之都”是因为此地举办了著名的国际风筝节。故选D。 【16题详解】 最佳标题题。文章开篇提到如今有很多娱乐方式，很多依赖现代技术，接着引出人们对古代人娱乐方式的想象，然后重点讲述风筝这一古老传统在新时代的情况，人们赋予其新生命，各个年龄段的人都能享受，所以“An Old Tradition with a New Life”作为标题最合适。故选C。 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。 Making good decisions is important for everyone.

B On Pingjiang Road, in Suzhou, 65-year-old Ms. Wu runs a traditional tea house for 30 years. She never expected herself to become a tea master who helped build a cultural bridge. It all started in 2015 when a German tourist named Klus walked into her shop. With the help of a translating app, Wu patiently showed him the way to properly brew (沏) Biluochun, Suzhou’s green tea. Klus returned every day and brought more friends each time. Seeing how interested they were in Chinese tea, Ms. Wu started a weekly activity called “Tea Culture Saturday”. She showed foreigners how to brew tea with traditional methods—from choosing the water temperature to following tea making rules. Her daughter Lily, a college student, helped translate. Soon, her tea house was always crowded with visitors, including students and business people from different places. “I used to think foreigners wouldn’t understand our tea culture, but they love it deeply. Some of them even treat their friends with Chinese tea at home,” Ms. Wu said. One of her favorite moments was when Sarah, a Canadian, gave her a notebook filled with tea notes written in both English and Chinese. “This is why I keep teaching,” Ms. Wu said, showing the treasured notebook. Now, her tea house appears in travel guides as “Suzhou’s cultural living room.” For tourists, every cup of tea served is a window on the tea culture of this ancient city. 5.

Those are your close friends. Not every friend you have is a close friend—and that’s okay. Studies show that most people can have only a few close friends because of limited time and energy. Psychologists (心理学家) point out that most people have around five close friends. Another study finds that having three to six close friends makes people happiest. It also finds that having more than six close friends doesn’t make people feel much happier. But friendships aren’t just about closeness. According to a study, you might have 25 or more casual friends (泛泛之交), like classmates, neighbors, or other people you know from everyday life. Because no one person can meet all your needs, having different kinds of friends helps in many ways. They can take some pressure off you and provide a safety net when you lose important friends. What’s more, they can also come up with new ideas—some may surprise you. There are no strict rules on how many close or casual friends you should have, so don’t worry if you have more or less. Some people have more than ten close friends, while others are happy with just one or two. What matters most is how you feel. If you’re happy with your friendships, then you have enough. Just trust your own feelings. 9. How many close friends make people happiest? A. Around five. B. Three to six. C. More than six. D. 25 or more. 10. What is the advantage of having casual friends? A. They can meet all your needs. B. They can solve all your problems for you. C. They can offer you new and surprising ideas. D. They will all become your close friends one day. 11. What is the writer’s advice according to the last paragraph? A. To try to make more close friends. B. To follow strict rules about friendship. C. To compare your number of friends with others’. D. To trust your own feelings about your friendships. 12. In which part of a magazine can we read the text? A. Science and technology. B. History and art. C. Life and health. D. Earth and nature. D Today, there are a number of exciting ways to have fun. A lot of fun activities depend heavily on modern technology. Can you imagine how people in ancient times had fun? In fact, people have given new life to these old traditions, so that people of all ages can still enjoy them. And flying kites is one of the most popular ones. Kites have a long history in China. According to history, the famous Chinese thinker Mozi created a flying wooden “bird”. Later, people used bamboo to take the place of wood, and covered the bamboo frame (框架) with paper. This was the birth of “paper kite”. At first, kites were mostly used by the army. They were used to send messages and test the wind. Slowly, people used them more and more for fun. By the time of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), kites became a popular toy all around China. Flying kites not only links us to our ancestors, but also gives people a way to express creativity. Every year, kite fliers from all over the world come to the Weifang International Kite Festival in Shandong Province’s Weifang City. The city has been known as the “kite capital of the world” because of the popularity of the festival. During the festival, thousands of kites fill the sky.

Her cakes had many flavors: pumpkin, strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. Pumpkin was her favorite because it was soft, tasty and perfect for fall. After the wedding, many guests wanted to buy more. This gave Grace the idea to start Baked by Grace, her own baking business, before she even entered high school. She even started a website so people could order cakes online. Grace now sells cakes, cookies and other desserts. She loves making cakes most because she can use her creativity to decorate them. She gets about 10 orders every week.
