B Pyrography (烫画) is a kind of art form in China.It is done by using a hot metal (金属) tool and burning wood or other surfaces (表面).Zhang Donghai, a 63-year-old man from Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, has been practising pyrography for more than 40 years. Zhang began to learn pyrography when he was 20 years old. He learned it all by himself. After 20 years into it, Zhang started to make pyrographs on Xuan paper. He said that it is very difficult to master the skills for making pyrographs on Xuan paper. "I must carefully control the temperature of the electric soldering iron (电烙铁) and the speed of touching down the soldering iron onto the paper so as to avoid leaving holes in the paper" Zhang said. "Making pyrographs on Xuan paper requires lots of time and great patience." Many people want to learn pyrography from Zhang, and Zhang is happy to train future inheritors (继承人) of the ancient art."I prefer to train adults because electric soldering irons are dangerous to children." Zhang has created innovative (创新的) pyrographs by connecting the art form with the skills of traditional Chinese bird-and-flower paintings. "Pyrography is a kind of valuable traditional cultural skill. I will continue to look for new innovations to make more pyrographs and do my best to pass on the art form to the young," Zhang said. 4.

While many Chinese people speak Mandarin (普通话),some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project (中国语言资源保护工程) a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There's an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos. Why is it important to protect the dialect culture? According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area,he said. Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialects, "For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear," he said. So how did China make this big library? "A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen," said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects. 8.What is the purpose of the project? A. To teach people Mandarin. B. To protect dialects C. To develop people’s speaking skills. D. To show ways of talking. 9.How many audio clips are collected in this project? A. 103. B. 1,712. C. 5 million. D. Over 5.6 million. 10.What is the situation of Wu dialect according to Zhang Hongming? A. It is in danger of disappearance. B. It is widely spoken in Suzhou. C. It has more than 6,000 dialect speakers. D. It is taught in more than 350 universities. 11.What does the passage mainly talk about? A. China online language resource library. B. Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. C. The Chinese Language Resources Protection Project. D. Zhang Hongming, a scholar of Chinese dialect protection. D Shyness equals losing opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections, but there are ways to make it a thing of the past. When I was fifteen, I was shy.I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say. To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax. This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills. Relaxed socializing (社交) is so pleasurable. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice. Focus your attention away from yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversation, imagine where they might live, and make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about,it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer. Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. Ask questions that require more than a "yes" or "no" response such as "What do you like about this place?" rather than "Do you like this place?" Once they have answered, you can use add-on (追加) questions connected with the first such as "What other places do you like in this city?" Next you can express your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going. Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen-year-old self. 12. The author didn't pay attention to what the girl was saying because （ ） A. her voice was very low B.he was shy and nervous C. he was attracted by her appearance D.he wasn't interested in her topic 13.To get rid of your shyness, you should . A. pay much attention to yourself B.find a beautiful girl to talk with C.learn to talk to others in a relaxed way D. ask people some interesting questions 14.It can be inferred from the text that A. people will notice our appearance if we focus on their looks B. shy people will have no friends unless they change themselves C. shy people may suffer a great deal and may be less happy D. girls like to show off their voices in front of boys 15.Which of the following questions will the author probably advise us to ask? A. What a lovely day, isn't it? B. Do you like playing basketball? C. Do you think he will pass the exam? D. Why do you find that English is hard to learn? 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Adjust (适应) to a New School School is a place where a child learns to succeed.16 .When you go to a new school, you might worry that you don't know anyone.

I shouted for help, and immediately Mel and other climbers came to help me and called Mountain Rescue. Then I was taken to a 32 where I stayed for four days. The doctors told me it would be a year before my leg was well again, but I started climbing again half a year later. The fall has made me more careful. But the experience also made me 33 as a person.

The other climbers decided to 25 , but Mel and I went ahead. As we went higher, it became more difficult to climb on. At around 9 a.m., we reached an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. I was 26 that I was safe, so I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a sound, and a whole piece of 27 broke off the step, right under my foot. In a second, I fell backwards. I could hear Mel calling my 28 .as I was rolling down the mountain. After a few 29 ,I found I'd fallen 50 feet. Then I took a survey of my body to see 30 I was hurt,starting with my head, then my neck and arms. For the most part, I was fine, except that I was suffering from a huge pain in my left 31 and couldn't move. I shouted for help, and immediately Mel and other climbers came to help me and called Mountain Rescue. Then I was taken to a 32 where I stayed for four days. The doctors told me it would be a year before my leg was well again, but I started climbing again half a year later. The fall has made me more careful. But the experience also made me 33 as a person.

Zhang began to learn pyrography when he was 20 years old.He learned it all by himself. After 20 years into it,Zhang started to make pyrographs on Xuan paper.He said that it is very difficult to master the skills for making pyrographs on Xuan paper."I must carefully control the temperature of the electric soldering iron and the speed of touching down the soldering iron onto the paper so as to avoid leaving holes in the paper." 2 Zhang said."Making pyrographs on Xuan paper requires lots of time and great patience." Many people want to learn pyrography from Zhang,and Zhang is happy to train future inheritors (of the ancient art."I prefer to train adults because electric soldering irons are dangerous to children."

There's an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips ( and over 5 million videos. 3 Why is it important to protect the dialect culture?According to British linguist Harold Palmer,dialects are a key to store local cultures.Language faithfully shows the history,the beliefs and the biases(偏见)of an area,he said, Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialects,"For about over 10 years,in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou,children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect.Meanwhile,young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it,but not very well.If this keeps happening,the dialect might disappear,"he said. So how did China make this big library?"A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,"said Cao Zhiyun,chief expert on the project.Over five years,more than 350 universities and research groups joined in,along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.

D Shyness equals losing opportunities,less pleasure and fewer social connections,but there are ways to make it a thing of the past. When I was fifteen,I was shy.I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me.My shyness made me focus on me instead of her.I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say. To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax.This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills.Relaxed socializing (is so pleasurable.To start reducing your own shyness,I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice. Focus your attention away from yourself.Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note,listen to their conversation,imagine where they might live,and make a point of remembering names.Not only does this give you more to talk about,it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer. Ask people open questions.Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting.Ask questions that require more than a"yes"or"no" response such as"What do you like about this place?'rather than"Do you like this place?"Once they have answered,you can use add-on (questions connected with the first such as"What other places do you like in this city?"Next you can express your views.This is a great way to get the conversation going. Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen-year-old self. 12.The author didn't pay attention to what the girl was saying because A.her voice was very low B.he was shy and nervous C.he was attracted by her appearance D.he wasn't interested in her topic 13.To get rid of your shyness,you should.

A.What a lovely day,isn't it? B.Do you like playing basketball? C.Do you think he will pass the exam?
