Among all types of paper, Xuan paper has earned a special place in Chinese culture. The history of Xuan paper dates back to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, paper was produced in Xuancheng, Jingxian, Ningguo and Taiping. They were counties (县) under the jurisdiction (管辖范围) of Xuanzhou. Among them, the paper made in Jingxian was the best for its excellent qualities. Since most paper distribution (分发) centers were in Xuancheng, the paper was then known as Xuan paper.
Xuan paper is made from the bark (树皮) of the blue sandalwood (檀香木) tree and rice straw. The process (过程) of making it includes many procedures like washing, boiling, and drying. Each step needs a lot of time and care. The final product is soft, thin but strong. It doesn’t tear (扯破) easily and can take in a lot of ink. Because of these qualities, Xuan paper has been loved by painters and calligraphers. It helps them fully express their creative ideas and feelings.
Xuan paper is not only a material for art but also a cultural symbol. It represents the rich heritage (遗产) of the arts in Chinese history. Even in today’s modern world, Xuan paper continues to hold an important position in Chinese art and cultural traditions. It serves as a bridge connecting the past with the present, allowing modern artists to look for good ideas from history while creating new works. The special treasures of Xuan paper ensure that the beauty of Chinese calligraphy and painting can remain and can be passed down through generations.
4. Where was the best Xuan paper made according to the passage?
A. Jingxian. B. Taiping. C. Ningguo. D. Xuancheng.
5. What does the underlined word “procedures” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Materials. B. Steps. C. Counties. D. Thoughts.

For Chen Sheng, a young man in Meitan, Guizhou Province, caring for the elderly (老年人) is more than a job—it’s a calling in his heart. Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng completed eight months of training in a local hospital and started to work in a nursing home.
In his early working days, what he met was more difficult than expected. He got up at 6 a.m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn’t end until 11 p.m. He wanted to quit at first, but after a period, the warmth and trust he received from the elderly changed his mind.
Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way, including physical examination, health guidance, advice on food and so on. “I arrived at the nursing home with lots of illnesses and could only lie in bed. After two months of good care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself. Life here is very convenient, from satisfying daily services to good medical care, just like at home,” said Grandpa Li.
Besides medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional (情感的) support. He always offers comfort in time when a grandpa or a grandma is sad. Grandma Sun likes to talk with Chen Sheng every day and always shares the things she considers valuable (有价值的). Grandma Sun feels warm and happy because of Chen Sheng. Her family thanks him for his patience and great love.
As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people, including those born after 2000, have come to work in the nursing home. They are making every effort to take good care of the elderly and make them live a happy life.
8. What made Chen Sheng want to work in the nursing home?
A. His growth experience. B. His grandparents’ words. C. His educational background. D. His training in the hospital.
9. What does the underlined word “quit” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Hang out. B. Give up. C. Talk back. D. Calm down.
10. What can we learn from Grandpa Li’s words in Paragraph 3?
① Chen Sheng takes good care of him.
② Life in the nursing home is convenient.
③ He gets good medical care from the hospital.
④ His physical condition has improved since he moved in.
A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④
11. What is the main purpose (目的) of this text?
A. To improve medical conditions for the elderly.
B. To develop the interests and hobbies of the elderly.
C. To call on more young people to care for the elderly.
D. To introduce the elderly people’s life in the nursing home.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了陈生照顾老人的故事。
【8题详解】
根据第一段第二句“Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people.”可知,陈生由祖父母抚养长大,这段成长经历使他梦想照顾更多老人。
【9题详解】
根据第二段可知,工作初期非常辛苦(早上 6 点到晚上 11 点),他起初想“quit”,但后来老人的温暖和信任改变了他的想法。由此推断“quit”意为“放弃”,与“Give up”同义。
【10题详解】
第三段李爷爷的话提到“After two months of good care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself.”,对应①和④;也提到了“Life here is very convenient... just like at home”,对应②。文中提到的是养老院(nursing home)提供的医疗护理,而非医院(hospital),故③错误,因此①②④正确。
【11题详解】
文章讲述陈生照顾老人的故事,并在最后一段提到“As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people...have come to work in the nursing home.”,旨在展示年轻一代的责任,呼吁更多年轻人投身养老事业,关爱老人。
D
The way younger people think about spending money and their lifestyle is changing. A new idea called “reverse consumption” has appeared. This means people are no longer buying expensive things like brand-name bags or clothes. Instead, they care more about getting good value for their money.
Reverse consumption encourages people not to waste. Unlike traditional buying habits, it refuses (拒绝) to keep buying new products and pays more attention to the quality of products. This idea has become popular with younger people and has influenced their buying decisions. This change in spending habits shows that young people care about different things in life now.
Many young people are starting to realize that having lots of material goods doesn’t bring true happiness. They are more interested in personal growth, spiritual (精神的) wealth, and the building of social relationships. Because of this, they pay more attention to their inner needs. Besides focusing on growing as a person, they also start to care about how their actions affect (影响) the environment.
This new way of thinking helps young people notice bigger problems like pollution and climate change. They know that wasteful spending can harm the environment, causing plenty of unnecessary waste and pollution, so they are trying to reduce (减少) their influence on the environment. It is changing what people do and making the world different.
In addition, the idea of reverse consumption is also bringing changes in society. Companies are being pushed to take social and environmental responsibility (责任) more seriously, and to think more about social interests when designing and making things.
12. What is “reverse consumption” in Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. Buying bags or clothes at lower prices.
B. Giving up spending money completely.
C. Saving money to buy more cheap things later.
D. Getting good value for money and avoiding waste.
13. From Paragraph 3 we can infer (推断) that young people today ________.
A. believe true happiness comes from inner growth
B. think owning more bags brings social respect
C. no longer care about their personal looks
D. only notice material goods around them
14. How does reverse consumption change companies?
A. It helps companies to give up social interests.
B. It makes companies produce more expensive products.
C. It encourages companies to make fewer and fewer products.
D. It pushes companies to take social and environmental responsibility.
15. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To explain reverse consumption and its influence.
B. To ask readers not to buy more brand-name products.
C. To tell readers that young people should stop spending money.
D. To tell people to only buy products that are good for the environment.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了“反向消费”这一新兴消费理念——年轻人不再追求名牌等昂贵物品,而是注重性价比、避免浪费,并关注个人成长、精神富足和环境保护,同时这一趋势也推动了企业承担更多社会和环境责任。
【12题详解】
由第一段“Instead, they care more about getting good value for their money”和第二段“Reverse consumption encourages people not to waste”可知,“reverse consumption”是一种新的消费观念,指反向消费,主要表现是追求性价比和避免浪费。
【13题详解】
由第三段“Many young people are starting to realize that having lots of material goods doesn‘t bring true happiness. They are more interested in personal growth...”可知,年轻人意识到拥有大量物质商品并不能带来真正的幸福,他们更关注“个人成长”。由此可以推断:年轻人认为真正的幸福来自内在的成长(如个人成长、精神富足、社会关系),而非物质拥有。
【14题详解】
由最后一段“Companies are being pushed to take social and environmental responsibility more seriously”可知,反向消费促使企业承担更多的社会和环境责任。
【15题详解】
通读全文可知,文章首先介绍了“反向消费”的定义,接着阐述了它对年轻人消费观念、环保意识的影响,最后说明了对企业发展的推动作用。因此,文章的主要目的是解释反向消费及其产生的影响。

【导语】本文主要介绍了中国茶文化中的待客礼仪,包括座位安排、接茶方式、叩指礼以及茶杯大小等习俗,帮助读者了解传统茶道。
【21题详解】
句意:主人经常端上一杯茶招待客人,这是一项传统。
以茶待客是流传已久的民俗习惯,tradition意为“传统”;decision“决定”、symbol“象征”、request“请求”均不符合语境。
【22题详解】
句意:在中国茶文化中,有不少需要遵守的规矩,也就是茶桌礼仪。
后文依次讲解落座、接茶、叩指谢茶的行为规范,对应rules“规矩”;reasons“原因”、plans“计划”、changes“变化”均不贴合文意。
【23题详解】
句意:这意味着年长、地位更高的客人通常优先入座。
前文讲宾客按照身份次序落座,这句话用来解释落座的要求,means意为“意味着”;notices“注意到”、reminds“提醒”、helps“帮助”均不符合句意。
【24题详解】
句意:不要和主人面对面就坐,因为这会被认为是不礼貌的。
面对面落座属于茶桌礼仪里的失礼行为,impolite意为“不礼貌的”;secret“秘密的”、confident“自信的”、comfortable“舒适的”都与礼仪要求无关。
【25题详解】
句意:当有人奉茶时,宾客应当用双手接过茶杯。
中国喝茶礼仪要求双手接杯,both hands表示“双手”;either“二者其一”、all“三者及以上都”、neither“两者都不”均不符合要求。
【26题详解】
句意:不要忘记向主人表达你的谢意。
express thanks为固定搭配,意为“表达感谢”;receive“收到”、accept“接受”、polish“打磨”均不能和your thanks搭配。
【27题详解】
句意:在中国,敲手指是一种很常见的无声道谢方式。
叩指礼是大众熟知的茶艺礼仪,common意为“常见的”;strange“奇怪的”、wrong“错误的”、difficult“困难的”不符合茶文化常识。
【28题详解】
句意:你知道该怎么做吗?
后文讲解叩指的具体动作,对应询问方式how“如何”;when“何时”、why“为什么”、where“在哪里”都不匹配后文的动作介绍。
【29题详解】
句意:每当别人给你的茶杯续满茶水时就可以做出叩指动作。
fill with表示“装满”茶水;covered with“被……覆盖”、played with“玩耍”、compared with“和……对比”均不契合茶杯续水的场景。
【30题详解】
句意:茶水通常盛放在小茶杯里,这能让茶汤更快降温。
待客时茶水被端上桌,serve表示“端上、奉送”;behaved“表现”、discovered“发现”、processed“加工”均不能用来描述上茶的动作。
第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

Today, we’ll introduce a national cultural heritage called tie-dyeing (扎染). As is known to all, colorful clothes these days aren’t made ____31____ hand but by machine. But what did ancient (古代的) people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? Tie-dyeing was a way ____32____ (do) this.

33. has been
34. clothes
35. that 36. tools
37. brighter
38. European
39. creative
40. a
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍国家级非遗扎染,介绍了扎染诞生的背景、千年发展历史、基础制作流程,还讲述欧洲设计师对扎染工艺的高度评价,并邀请读者亲身体验扎染。
【31题详解】
句意:众所周知,现在的彩色衣服都不是手工制作,而是机器生产。固定短语by hand表示“手工”,此处缺少介词by,是固定搭配用法。
【32题详解】
句意:扎染就是实现这件事的一种方法。固定结构a way to do sth.表示“做某事的方法”,不定式作后置定语修饰名词way,因此填不定式to do。
【33题详解】
句意:人们相信扎染这项技艺已经有一千多年的历史了。时间状语for more than 1,000 years表示动作从过去持续到现在,要用现在完成时;主语the skill是单数,助动词用has,be的过去分词是been。
【34题详解】
句意:云南的白族人最先使用扎染来染他们的布料。clothes泛指衣物,为复数名词,形容词性物主代词their后接复数名词,因此填clothes。
【35题详解】
句意:在过去,这项技艺十分盛行,人们甚至把扎染布料作为贡品献给皇帝。固定句型so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”,that引导结果状语从句。
【36题详解】
句意:想要扎染布料,你首先需要工具把布捆好,再放进染料里。tool是可数名词,此处泛指制作扎染需要的各类工具,要用复数形式tools。
【37题详解】
句意:布料折叠后,一部分会变成深蓝色,另一部分颜色会鲜亮很多。much常用来修饰比较级,形容词bright的比较级形式为brighter,修饰名词color作定语。
【38题详解】
句意:一位著名的欧洲设计师用扎染连衣裙惊艳了众人。空格后是名词designer,需要形容词作定语修饰名词,名词Europe对应的形容词是European,意为“欧洲的”。
【39题详解】
句意:她说:“它富有创意的制作过程是一场不可思议的呈现,直到最后一刻才能看到成品,这真是一件奇事。” 此处修饰名词process,需要形容词作定语;动词create变形为形容词creative,意为“有创意的”,符合语境。
【40题详解】
句意:你想亲自试一试吗?固定搭配have a try表示“试一试”,此处缺少不定冠词a。

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”. During the festival, thousands of kites fill the sky. There are both traditional kites like birds and fish, and modern ones like TV and comic characters. Some kites can be over 200 metres long. They fly into the sky in the shape of dragons, spaceships and even high-speed trains.

For Chen Sheng, a young man in Meitan, Guizhou Province, caring for the elderly (老年人) is more than a job—it’s a calling in his heart. Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng completed eight months of training in a local hospital and started to work in a nursing home.
In his early working days, what he met was more difficult than expected. He got up at 6 a.m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn’t end until 11 p.m. He wanted to quit at first, but after a period, the warmth and trust he received from the elderly changed his mind.
Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way, including physical examination, health guidance, advice on food and so on. “I arrived at the nursing home with lots of illnesses and could only lie in bed. After two months of good care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself. Life here is very convenient, from satisfying daily services to good medical care, just like at home,” said Grandpa Li.
Besides medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional (情感的) support. He always offers comfort in time when a grandpa or a grandma is sad. Grandma Sun likes to talk with Chen Sheng every day and always shares the things she considers valuable (有价值的). Grandma Sun feels warm and happy because of Chen Sheng. Her family thanks him for his patience and great love.
As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people, including those born after 2000, have come to work in the nursing home. They are making every effort to take good care of the elderly and make them live a happy life.

The way younger people think about spending money and their lifestyle is changing. A new idea called “reverse consumption” has appeared. This means people are no longer buying expensive things like brand-name bags or clothes. Instead, they care more about getting good value for their money.
Reverse consumption encourages people not to waste. Unlike traditional buying habits, it refuses (拒绝) to keep buying new products and pays more attention to the quality of products. This idea has become popular with younger people and has influenced their buying decisions. This change in spending habits shows that young people care about different things in life now.
Many young people are starting to realize that having lots of material goods doesn’t bring true happiness. They are more interested in personal growth, spiritual (精神的) wealth, and the building of social relationships. Because of this, they pay more attention to their inner needs. Besides focusing on growing as a person, they also start to care about how their actions affect (影响) the environment.
This new way of thinking helps young people notice bigger problems like pollution and climate change. They know that wasteful spending can harm the environment, causing plenty of unnecessary waste and pollution, so they are trying to reduce (减少) their influence on the environment. It is changing what people do and making the world different.
In addition, the idea of reverse consumption is also bringing changes in society. Companies are being pushed to take social and environmental responsibility (责任) more seriously, and to think more about social interests when designing and making things.
12. What is “reverse consumption” in Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. Buying bags or clothes at lower prices.
B. Giving up spending money completely.
C. Saving money to buy more cheap things later.
D. Getting good value for money and avoiding waste.
13. From Paragraph 3 we can infer (推断) that young people today ________.
A. believe true happiness comes from inner growth
B. think owning more bags brings social respect
C. no longer care about their personal looks
D. only notice material goods around them
14. How does reverse consumption change companies?
A. It helps companies to give up social interests.
B. It makes companies produce more expensive products.
C. It encourages companies to make fewer and fewer products.
D. It pushes companies to take social and environmental responsibility.
15. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To explain reverse consumption and its influence.
B. To ask readers not to buy more brand-name products.
C. To tell readers that young people should stop spending money.
D. To tell people to only buy products that are good for the environment.

During the festival, thousands of kites fill the sky. There are both traditional kites like birds and fish, and modern ones like TV and comic characters. Some kites can be over 200 metres long.
