Yang Hongwei, born in 1966, is a keeper of the Weifang kite-making skill. Born into a kite-making family, Yang often saw kites with bright colours and different shapes in her grandfather’s workshop.
Yang learned the skill from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practising the skill for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.
“Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites.” Yang said. “But I think the cultural background behind our kites is special.”
On Yang’s kites, people can see not only common designs like butterflies and birds, but also some prints telling Chinese history. For example, she once made a kite showing a phoenix (凤凰) that was lined with portraits (肖像) of 50 famous women from Chinese history on each side.
Yang said that each woman is different in look, clothes and make-up style. To create their portraits, she checked historical records and talked about details with experts.
“It took me a lot of time,” Yang said, “but when I explain the stories of the kites to foreign people, I feel a great sense of achievement.”
In her free time, she travels to different countries including Germany, Australia, the United States and New Zealand to tell people stories of Chinese kites and the traditional ways they are made. “It is an important job of mine to spread our heritage (遗产) around the world and onto our children,” she said.
24. How old was Yang Hongwei when she started her own shop?
A. 26. B. 58. C. 10. D. 16.
25. How does Yang feel when she introduces her kites to foreigners?
A. She thinks her kite won’t be loved by them. B. She is proud of herself and her works.
C. She is sure that foreigners can understand her. D. She thinks it is useless to spend time talking with them.
26. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the only keeper of traditional skills B. the importance of Chinese tradition
C. how to spread our heritage around the world D. a keeper of the Weifang kite-making skill
C
A night concert celebrating the 110th anniversary (周年纪念) of Tsinghua University in Beijing attracted over 1,500 students and traditional Chinese music fans on Saturday.
Fang Jinlong, an artist of the traditional Chinese instrument pipa, and three human-shaped robots from the Tsinghua Moja Robot Band performed several Chinese music pieces. “I’m happy to see our performance can combine science and technology with traditional Chinese culture,” said Fang.
The band consists of three robot musicians, Yuheng, Yaoguang and Kaiyang. They played three kinds of traditional Chinese instruments: the bamboo flute, Chinese harp, and paigu, a set of Chinese drums, at the concert.
Founded in 2018, the team behind the band is made up of students, teachers and graduates from Tsinghua University. The team’s chief scientist Mi Haipeng is a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. He took part in the research and development of a robot rock band when he studied in Japan. That experience made him consider making a Chinese robot band.
During the concert, the flute player Yuheng pressed the flute holes with its fingers while blowing the air into the pipe with changeable pressure to play the notes. Yaoguang plucked (弹) the Chinese harp’s strings with his fingers, with each one striking one string. Kaiyang imitated the movements of the human wrists (腕) to play the drums.
Mi said the music pieces in the concert were made for the robots to play. The robots’ shells and stage costumes (戏服) were made with 3D-printing technology. He added that there are more performance plans for Moja in the future, introducing new music pieces. The team, meanwhile, would improve the musical expression of the robots.
*The word “combine” means to come together to form a single thing or group.
*The word “imitate” means to copy sb./sth.
27. What did Fang Jinlong mean by saying the underlined words in Paragraph 2?
A. He thought his performance was cheerful.
B. He had great interest in performing traditional music.
C. He enjoyed using new technology and science to play pipa.
D. He thought it was good to mix science and technology with traditional culture.
28. What instrument did Yuheng play at the concert?
A. Pipa. B. The bamboo flute. C. Chinese harp. D. Paigu.
29. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The band is only 5 years old.
B. Fang Jinlong is the name of a robot musician.
C. The team’s chief scientist once studied in Japan.
D. Some team members behind the band are from Peking University.
30. What can we infer (推测) from the passage?
A. The three robot musicians have no fingers.
B. The robot musicians will write new music pieces.
C. The robot musicians will probably play better in the future.
D. The robot musicians wore the same kind of costumes at the concert.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲了壶口瀑布名称的来历、景观特点、文化背景以及最佳游览时间等内容。
【1题详解】
句意:它是世界上最大的黄色瀑布。
形容词最高级前需用定冠词the,“the largest”表示“最大的”,这里指壶口瀑布是世界上最大的黄色瀑布。
【2题详解】
句意:黄河承载着五千多年的中国历史和文化,因此黄河被称为中国的“母亲河”。
黄河被描述为中国的“母亲河”,是客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态“am/is/are + 过去分词”,黄河是第三人称单数,所以用is described。
【3题详解】
句意:当河流流向壶口村时,河面从500米宽变窄至仅约30米,然后突然倾泻而下。这里需要一个副词修饰动词“falls down”,suddenly“突然地”符合语境,表示黄河突然落下形成瀑布,badly“严重地;恶劣地”,bad是形容词“坏的”,sudden是形容词“突然的”,均不符合。
【4题详解】
句意:似乎水从一个大茶壶中倾泻而下,所以这个瀑布有了“壶口”这个名字——在中文里意思是茶壶的嘴。
前一句说水从大茶壶一样倾泻而下,所以瀑布有了“壶口”这个名字,so“所以”表因果关系,符合语境,or“或者;否则”,but“但是”,because“因为”,均不合适。
【5题详解】
句意:它随着下落的水上下移动。
with表示“随着”,“It moves up and down with the falling water.”意思是它随着下落的水上下移动,“with”符合此句的语境。to“到;向”,about“关于”,of“……的”,都不符合句意。
【6题详解】
句意:在历史上,许多诗人和画家都曾到此游历。
根据“In the history”可知说的是过去的事情,要用一般过去时,travel的过去式是traveled。
【7题详解】
句意:其中,李白的《将进酒》或许是知名度最高的。
among是介词,后接宾格,them是they的宾格,指代前面提到的“lots of poets and painters”,需用them。they是主格,their是形容词性物主代词,themselves是反身代词,都不符合此句的语法。
【8题详解】
句意:壶口瀑布有许多自然奇观,比如河上烟雾、陆上行舟以及阳光下的彩虹。
natural wonders是可数名词复数,many修饰可数名词复数,表示“许多”,符合此句的语境。little和much修饰不可数名词,few修饰可数名词复数但表示“几乎没有”,不符合语境。
【9题详解】
句意:四月和十月是游览壶口瀑布的最佳月份。
the best two months to do sth. “做某事的最佳两个月”,这里表示四月和十月是游览壶口瀑布的最佳两个月,用动词不定式to visit作后置定语。
【10题详解】
句意:你或许会问,为什么这两个月份是最佳游览时段呢。
根据后一句“It is because during these months the water is full!”可知是在问为什么这两个月是最佳时间,why“为什么”符合语境。that无实际意义,whether“是否”,which“哪一个”,均不符合。

Yang Hongwei, born in 1966, is a keeper of the Weifang kite-making skill. Born into a kite-making family, Yang often saw kites with bright colours and different shapes in her grandfather’s workshop.
Yang learned the skill from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practising the skill for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.
“Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites.” Yang said. “But I think the cultural background behind our kites is special.”
On Yang’s kites, people can see not only common designs like butterflies and birds, but also some prints telling Chinese history. For example, she once made a kite showing a phoenix (凤凰) that was lined with portraits (肖像) of 50 famous women from Chinese history on each side.
Yang said that each woman is different in look, clothes and make-up style. To create their portraits, she checked historical records and talked about details with experts.
“It took me a lot of time,” Yang said, “but when I explain the stories of the kites to foreign people, I feel a great sense of achievement.”
In her free time, she travels to different countries including Germany, Australia, the United States and New Zealand to tell people stories of Chinese kites and the traditional ways they are made. “It is an important job of mine to spread our heritage (遗产) around the world and onto our children,” she said.
24. How old was Yang Hongwei when she started her own shop?
A. 26. B. 58. C. 10. D. 16.
25. How does Yang feel when she introduces her kites to foreigners?
A. She thinks her kite won’t be loved by them. B. She is proud of herself and her works.
C. She is sure that foreigners can understand her. D. She thinks it is useless to spend time talking with them.
26. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the only keeper of traditional skills B. the importance of Chinese tradition
C. how to spread our heritage around the world D. a keeper of the Weifang kite-making skill
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D
【解析】

A night concert celebrating the 110th anniversary (周年纪念) of Tsinghua University in Beijing attracted over 1,500 students and traditional Chinese music fans on Saturday.
Fang Jinlong, an artist of the traditional Chinese instrument pipa, and three human-shaped robots from the Tsinghua Moja Robot Band performed several Chinese music pieces. “I’m happy to see our performance can combine science and technology with traditional Chinese culture,” said Fang.
The band consists of three robot musicians, Yuheng, Yaoguang and Kaiyang. They played three kinds of traditional Chinese instruments: the bamboo flute, Chinese harp, and paigu, a set of Chinese drums, at the concert.
Founded in 2018, the team behind the band is made up of students, teachers and graduates from Tsinghua University. The team’s chief scientist Mi Haipeng is a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. He took part in the research and development of a robot rock band when he studied in Japan. That experience made him consider making a Chinese robot band.
During the concert, the flute player Yuheng pressed the flute holes with its fingers while blowing the air into the pipe with changeable pressure to play the notes. Yaoguang plucked (弹) the Chinese harp’s strings with his fingers, with each one striking one string. Kaiyang imitated the movements of the human wrists (腕) to play the drums.
Mi said the music pieces in the concert were made for the robots to play. The robots’ shells and stage costumes (戏服) were made with 3D-printing technology. He added that there are more performance plans for Moja in the future, introducing new music pieces. The team, meanwhile, would improve the musical expression of the robots.
*The word “combine” means to come together to form a single thing or group.
*The word “imitate” means to copy sb./sth.
27. What did Fang Jinlong mean by saying the underlined words in Paragraph 2?
A. He thought his performance was cheerful.
B. He had great interest in performing traditional music.
C. He enjoyed using new technology and science to play pipa.
D. He thought it was good to mix science and technology with traditional culture.
28. What instrument did Yuheng play at the concert?
A. Pipa. B. The bamboo flute. C. Chinese harp. D. Paigu.
29. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The band is only 5 years old.
B. Fang Jinlong is the name of a robot musician.
C. The team’s chief scientist once studied in Japan.
D. Some team members behind the band are from Peking University.
30. What can we infer (推测) from the passage?
A. The three robot musicians have no fingers.
B. The robot musicians will write new music pieces.
C. The robot musicians will probably play better in the future.
D. The robot musicians wore the same kind of costumes at the concert.

Parents of twins (双胞胎) often say their children are a little unusual or a bit special. But according to 16-year-old twin Gerald Scott, there are ways in which some sets of twins are quite amazing.
“My twin, Owen, and I have had a very special connection since we were born. ____31____ Mum says we used to talk to each other by using our own special language. We knew what we were saying but nobody else understood. Even our mother didn’t understand us!
As we’ve got older, we’ve started using telepathy (心灵感应) to communicate. We can send messages to each other even when we aren’t in the same place. It sounds mysterious, but I’ve always known if Owen was in trouble. Once he broke his leg, ____32____
Although it seems strange, telepathy between twins isn’t so unusual. ____33____ One experiment (实验) involved eight-year-old Richard and his twin, Daniel. First, they were put in different, sound-proof rooms, and Daniel was wired up to a machine that tested his responses (反应). ____34____ As soon as he put his arm into the water, Daniel’s responses went wild. And it was the same whenever anything scary or surprising happened to Richard—his brother in the other room reacted, too.
____35____ Then you can search for more facts at www.suntwins.com.
A. A lot of research has shown that some twins have this ability.
B. my twin brother never felt what happened to himself.
C. Don’t you think the telepathy between the twins is unbelievable?
D. I got this terrible pain in my leg at once.
E. Richard was then asked to put his arm into freezing cold water.
F. When we were very small, we had our own language.
G. Parents have known that the twins don’t need to communicate at all.
【答案】31. F 32. D 33. A 34. E 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要通过双胞胎Gerald和Owen的经历以及一项科学实验,讲述了双胞胎之间存在心灵感应这一现象。
【31题详解】
后文提到双胞胎有专属的特殊语言,F选项“When we were very small, we had our own language.”引出下文,符合逻辑。
【32题详解】
前文“We can send messages to each other even...I’ve always known if Owen was in trouble.”说明Gerald能感知到双胞Owen的状况,Owen摔断腿后,D选项“I got this terrible pain in my leg at once.”符合双胞胎心灵感应的描述,衔接上文。
【33题详解】
前文“Although it seems strange, telepathy between twins isn’t so unusual.”提出双胞胎间的心灵感应并不罕见,后文举例实验,A选项“A lot of research has shown that some twins have this ability.”承上启下,符合语境。
【34题详解】
后文提到“As soon as he put his arm into the water”他一将手臂放进水里,E选项“Richard was then asked to put his arm into freezing cold water.”对应下文动作描述,符合逻辑。
【35题详解】
后文提到“Then you can search for more facts at www.suntwins.com.”可以去网站搜索更多相关信息,此处应是一个总结性的问句,引发读者思考并引导其查询更多信息,C选项“Don’t you think the telepathy between the twins is unbelievable?”用反问引发读者兴趣,衔接下文,符合语境。
V.完成句子:根据所给汉语意思,用单词或短语完成下列英文句子。(共5小题,计10分)
36. 我们应该掌握一些基本的电脑技术。
We should ____________ some basic computer skills.
【答案】
master##acquire##grasp
【解析】
【详解】关键词是“掌握”,在涉及掌握技能、技术或知识时,对应的英文动词是master/acquire/grasp。句子中的should是情态动词,表示“应该”,其后必须接动词的原形。故填master/acquire/grasp。
37. 阅读使我们的生活充满了乐趣。
Reading fills our lives with great ____________.
【答案】
pleasure
【解析】
【详解】great为形容词,后接名词。pleasure表示 “乐趣、愉悦”,贴合句意,是fill...with pleasure使……充满乐趣。
38. 除非你亲自去长城,否则你不能完全体验到长城的美丽。
You can’t fully experience the beauty of the Great Wall unless you go there ___________.
【答案】
in person
【解析】
【详解】原句的关键词是“亲自”,英语中表达“亲自”的常用固定短语是in person。该短语在句中作方式状语,修饰动词go,表示“亲自去那里”。
39. 医生们正在努力挽救病人。
The doctors are ____________ to save patients.
【答案】
trying their best
【解析】
【详解】原句的关键词是“努力”,“努力做某事”在初中英语中对应的核心短语是 try one’s best to do sth.。中文“正在”表明句子时态为现在进行时,结构是“be+动词现在分词(-ing)”。句中已给出be动词are,因此动词需用ing 形式。主语The doctors是复数,所以短语中的one’s 要变为相应的形容词性物主代词their。组合得到trying their best。
40. 在我眼里,没有什么比友谊更宝贵。
In my eyes, nothing is ____________ than friendship.
【答案】
more valuable
【解析】
【详解】原句中“更宝贵”是关键词,表示“宝贵的”的英文是valuable,根据than可知,此处用形容词比较级,valuable的比较级为more valuable,符合“更宝贵”的语境。
VI. 短文填空:(共10小题,计 10 分)

【答案】
Dear Chris,
I’m glad to hear that you are interested in Chinese Spring Festival customs. I’m writing to tell you about some of them.
We usually celebrate it in January or February. Before the festival, we do some cleaning to sweep away bad luck. We put the character “Fu” upside down because it means good luck comes. We also wear red clothes. However, we shouldn’t break things or sweep on the first day. It is believed to bring bad luck.
I think these customs are meaningful. They show our hope for a better future.
Yours,
Li Hua
