On a rainy Saturday afternoon, Li Ming paid a visit to the city museum. Walking through quiet halls, he found an old worker carefully putting together broken clay bowls with something.
“These bowls are over 1,000 years old,” the worker explained, noticing Li Ming watching. “Farmers found them under their fields (田地) last spring. Broken, but still precious.”
“Why spend time fixing broken things?” Li Ming asked.
The worker handed him a small piece. “See these bright yellow lines?” he said when he pointed to where the pieces joined. “This is real gold. Long ago, people believed broken things could become even more beautiful.”
For the next hour, Li Ming helped clean the clay pieces. His hands shook as he tried to fit them together. The pieces kept falling apart. “This is too hard!” he said after many tries.
The worker smiled kindly. “Wait, and try slowly,” he said, guiding Li Ming’s hands. “The breaks show their history. We don’t hide them—we make them special.”
Slowly, piece by piece, they fixed a small bowl. “Remember,” the worker said as Li Ming left. “Nothing stays broken forever if we work with care.”
On his way home, Li Ming thought about his mother’s old blue coat. She made it more colorful than before. He finally understood—some things become better when we give them love and time.
The next day, Li Ming took out his broken schoolbag. He found colorful stickers (贴纸) to cover the holes. Each sticker reminded him that broken places can turn into something wonderful.

Can a piece of paper be changed into a fine work of art? If you have the chance to enjoy Liang Chunlan’s paper-cuts, you will be surprised at her skills.
Liang Chunlan is a member of the Chinese Folk Literature and Art Association. She began learning how to make paper-cuts when she was a little girl. “Influenced by both my mother and grandmother, I developed such an interest,” says Liang Chunlan.
Liang Chunlan has been making paper-cuts for more than 30 years. She has already won many prizes for her paper-cuts. By drawing ideas from life and Shanxi’s traditional culture, she has created a special artistic style.
In recent years, she has put a lot of effort (work hard) into spreading this art. She likes teaching others to make paper-cuts. Sometimes, when she eats out with her friends, she folds napkins (餐巾) and cuts paper with scissors to show her friends how to make paper-cuts.
“What I did was not enough.” said Liang Chunlan. To encourage young people to learn the craft-making skills, she has provided training courses for school students to teach them how to make paper-cuts. She has also introduced this traditional art to university students in Australia and other countries.
Liang has written several books to help the Chinese understand the beauty of the paper-cuts. Some art schools have used her works as teaching materials. She will continue to try to do something meaningful to spread our country’s traditional art—paper-cuts.

How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. It was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial (日晷) about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago.
Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500.This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz (石英) clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for common people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
41. What can we know about the water clock according to Paragraph 2?
A. It could work on cloudy days or at night.
B. It was smaller than the sun clock and sundial.
C. It could show the exact time for half a day.
42. When was the first quartz clock developed?
A. About 3,500 years ago. B. In 1927. C. In 1956.
43. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How mechanical clocks were improved over centuries.
B. Why digital clocks are more popular than quartz clocks.
C. The development of clocks from the 13th century to now.
44. How is the passage mainly organized?
A. By introducing different people’s inventions.
B. By following the order of time development.
C. By comparing the advantages of different clocks
45. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C.

【导语】本文讲述寒假期间伊芙琳参与实践项目,在零食店担任收银员收获成长,相关项目助力青少年培养实用技能的故事。
【17题详解】
句意:当许多青少年去旅行或者和朋友闲逛时,伊芙琳参加了一个项目,在一家零食店做收银员。
根据前文“went traveling”可知,此处是青少年假期休闲活动,hang out with意为“和……闲逛”符合语境;try out for“参加选拔”、talk back to“顶嘴”均不符合休闲场景。
【18题详解】
句意:一位顾客买了一些零食,递给伊芙琳10美元。
根据后文“bought some snacks”,能判断是进店消费的顾客,customer意为“顾客”;owner“店主”、relative“亲戚”不符合买东西的身份。
【19题详解】
句意:伊芙琳礼貌地说:“这是你的零钱,慢走,祝你今天愉快。”
根据她说的客气服务用语,可知说话态度礼貌,politely意为“礼貌地”;widely“广泛地”、badly“糟糕地”和服务场景不符。
【20题详解】
句意:虽然收银员的工作看起来简单,但要做好这份工作需要很多技能。
根据后半句“many skills”可知,做好工作需要技能,require意为“需要”;achieve“实现”、discover“发现”语义不通。
【21题详解】
句意:举例来说,收银员必须拥有快速算账的能力。
根据后文“count quickly”可知,这是一种工作能力,ability意为“能力”;reason“理由”、research“研究”不符合句意。
【22题详解】
句意:同时,收银员需要有良好的沟通能力,因为他们要和不同的人打交道。
后半句是前半句“需要沟通能力”的原因,because引导原因状语从句;after“在……之后”、although“虽然”逻辑不符。
【23题详解】
句意:顾问曼迪·伯纳尔-希尔在这个项目中发挥了作用。
固定搭配play a part in表示“在……中起作用”,介词用in;for、on无此固定搭配。
【24题详解】
句意:她参与其中是为了帮助青少年培养实用技能、提升自我。
根据后文“practical skills”可知,搭配develop skills表示“培养技能”;suggest“建议”、admire“钦佩”无法和skills 搭配。
【25题详解】
句意:通过这份工作,他们学会说“你好”“我能帮你什么”以及其他日常常用表达。
前文列举的两句都是日常交际话语,expression意为“表达、用语”;product“商品”、website“网站” 和句子内容无关。
【26题详解】
句意:孩子们都做得很棒,我很自豪能看到他们的进步。
根据前文“doing a great job”和“their progress”可知,内心感到自豪,proud意为“自豪的”;brave“勇敢的”、careful“细心的”不符合语境。

【27题详解】
根据右侧House of English的信息“Convenient class hours: 9:00 a.m.—12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.—5:00 p.m.”可知,House of English的下午上课时间(下午2点到5点)与杰克的工作时间(下午4:30才下班)相冲突;而左侧Global English的信息为“Choice of morning or evening classes”(提供早班或晚班课程),杰克可以选择晚班。
【28题详解】
根据右侧House of English的信息“Entrance exams: Jun. 1 and Dec. 1.”(入学考试:6月1日和12月1日)可知,报名House of English需要先参加入学考试,这是它与Global English的一个显著区别。而A项错在拥有外教的是House of English,B项错在“靠近中央公园”的也是House of English。
【29题详解】
根据左侧Global English的信息“3-month (700 yuan), 6-month (1,200 yuan) and one-year (2,000 yuan)”可知,三个月的课程费用是700元。
【30题详解】
根据文章开头句“If you are looking for a place where you can improve your English, you may find the information you need.”以及下方详细罗列的两家机构的特色、费用、地点和联系方式可知,这篇文章的目的是为了宣传和吸引学生前来报名,因此是一则广告。

On a rainy Saturday afternoon, Li Ming paid a visit to the city museum. Walking through quiet halls, he found an old worker carefully putting together broken clay bowls with something.
“These bowls are over 1,000 years old,” the worker explained, noticing Li Ming watching. “Farmers found them under their fields (田地) last spring. Broken, but still precious.”
“Why spend time fixing broken things?” Li Ming asked.
The worker handed him a small piece. “See these bright yellow lines?” he said when he pointed to where the pieces joined. “This is real gold. Long ago, people believed broken things could become even more beautiful.”
For the next hour, Li Ming helped clean the clay pieces. His hands shook as he tried to fit them together. The pieces kept falling apart. “This is too hard!” he said after many tries.
The worker smiled kindly. “Wait, and try slowly,” he said, guiding Li Ming’s hands. “The breaks show their history. We don’t hide them—we make them special.”
Slowly, piece by piece, they fixed a small bowl. “Remember,” the worker said as Li Ming left. “Nothing stays broken forever if we work with care.”
On his way home, Li Ming thought about his mother’s old blue coat. She made it more colorful than before. He finally understood—some things become better when we give them love and time.
The next day, Li Ming took out his broken schoolbag. He found colorful stickers (贴纸) to cover the holes. Each sticker reminded him that broken places can turn into something wonderful.
31. What were the bowls like?
A. Modern, useful and important. B. Old, useless and heavy. C. Old, broken but precious.
32. What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 mean?

【答案】31. C 32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了李明在博物馆参观时,通过观察工人修复古碗的过程,领悟到破碎的东西经过用心修复可以变得更美好的道理,并将这一道理应用到生活中修复书包的故事。
【31题详解】
根据第二段“These bowls are over 1,000 years old... Broken, but still precious.”可知,这些碗是古老的、破碎的但珍贵的。
【32题详解】
根据第二段上下文,这些碗有千年历史,工人用金子修复它们,且后文提到它们变得“more beautiful”(更美丽),可知它们是有价值的、珍贵的;treasured 意为“珍视的、宝贵的”,与 precious 意思相近。
【33题详解】
根据第五段“His hands shook as he tried to fit them together. The pieces kept falling apart. ‘This is too hard!’ he said after many tries.”可知,起初他觉得很难,甚至想要放弃。
【34题详解】
根据最后一段“The next day, Li Ming took out his broken schoolbag. He found colorful stickers to cover the holes.”,他用贴纸创造性地修复了书包。
【35题详解】

How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. It was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial (日晷) about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago.
Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500.This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz (石英) clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for common people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
41. What can we know about the water clock according to Paragraph 2?
A. It could work on cloudy days or at night.
B. It was smaller than the sun clock and sundial.
C. It could show the exact time for half a day.
42. When was the first quartz clock developed?
A. About 3,500 years ago. B. In 1927. C. In 1956.
43. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How mechanical clocks were improved over centuries.
B. Why digital clocks are more popular than quartz clocks.
C. The development of clocks from the 13th century to now.
44. How is the passage mainly organized?
A. By introducing different people’s inventions.
B. By following the order of time development.
C. By comparing the advantages of different clocks
45. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C.
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. B 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了人们为了知晓时间,从古至今不断改进计时工具的历史,文章详细介绍了日晷、水钟、机械钟、石英钟以及数字钟的诞生时间和各自的特点。
【41题详解】
根据原文第二段中的“On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun.”可知,因为日晷和太阳钟在阴天或夜晚无法使用,而水钟是第一个不利用太阳的钟,由此可以推断出水钟在阴天或夜晚也能工作。
【42题详解】
根据原文第四段中的“In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed.”可知,第一块石英钟是在1927年被研制出来的。
【43题详解】
根据原文第四段的内容,从“In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented.”(13世纪机械钟的发明),到“spring were added around 1500.”(1500年左右发条的加入),再到“In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. ”(1927年石英钟),以及“More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock.”(1956年的数字钟),可以看出该段落是在按时间顺序讲述从13世纪至今钟表的演变过程。
【44题详解】
根据原文内容可知,文章的结构脉络非常清晰,从“About 5,500 years ago”到“about 3,400 years ago”,再到“In the 13th century”、“In 1927”以及“in 1956”,整篇文章是按照时间发展的顺序来介绍钟表的发展历史的。
【45题详解】
通读全文可知,本文整体呈现“总-分-总”的结构:第一段(总起)引入“如何获知时间”的话题;第二段、第三段和第四段(分述)分别按时间发展介绍了古代的计时器(日晷、水钟)和现代的计时器(机械钟、石英钟、数字钟);第五段(总结)对全文进行了升华总结,指出钟表虽在变,但人类自身的问题依然存在。

Although many people read online, books have not gone out of fashion. In Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai, lucky passengers may find books somewhere on the underground.
The Fair, an online publishing company, has put 10000 books on the underground, planes and taxis to make people more interested in reading. This project is called “Mobook”.
“Mobook” gets its idea from “Books on the Underground” a community project in London. The purpose of “Books on the Underground” is to encourage people to read more. Zhang Wei, the CEO of The Fair also wanted to do something in China. He sent an e-mail to Ms Cordelia Oxley, the leader of “Books on the Underground”, describing his plan and explaining the rules of “Mobook”. The leader replied to him in just two hours, saying that she thought the idea was great and she would offer help if needed.
But “Mobook” project is a little different from that in London. It has its own online system.
People who want to donate (捐赠) books must give their information online. QR code stickers (二维码标签) are then sent to their addresses. The book owners should stick them on the books before donating books and readers can know where the books are with the help of QR codes.
“Mobook” is a hot topic. Now thousands of bookworms have already taken part in the project. Zhang Wei said, “I am happy to see more and more people share their views (观点) about the books online and enjoy the happiness that reading brings to them.”
