It uses scissors or knives to make different shapes with paper. These shapes often mean things like luck, health, or celebrating good times in life. Papercut started in the sixth century during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. People used papercuts to decorate doors and windows to keep away bad spirits and bring peace. By the Tang and Song Dynasties, papercut was really popular and used to decorate more things like statues, gifts, and lanterns. What’s cool about papercut is that it’s simple but can show a lot. A plain piece of red or coloured paper can be turned into exciting pictures of flowers, animals, or people by skilled artists. These papercuts are often put up during Chinese New Year and other festivals to make things more festive and fun. Papercut is more than just art. It has deep meanings. For example, dragons and phoenixes in papercuts stand for power and greatness, while lotus flowers and fish mean purity and plenty. Papercut shows how much Chinese people love nature and life and their hopes for a great future. Because papercut is so special and means so much, UNESCO calls it an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Today, papercut is still part of many Chinese celebrations and more and more people around the world love it. I hope everyone can see the beauty and depth of Chinese culture through papercut art. Read the text, and answer the following questions. 1. How long has Chinese papercut existed? _________________________________________________________________________________ 2. What did people use papercuts for in the Northern and Southern Dynasties? _________________________________________________________________________________ 3. What do dragons and phoenixes stand for in papercuts? _________________________________________________________________________________ 强化提升练习 一、阅读理解 A Choosing the right hiking equipment will make your walk safer and more comfortable.

If you want to protect your feet, you’d better choose Crew Walking Socks. B. Crew Light Cushion is a kind of sock special in material to keep you cool. C. Both the Light Hoodie and Skerray Smock can keep out the wind. D. All the equipment recommended can be folded and put in a pocket. 2. If you want to go hiking in summer, which one will be the best choice? A. Crew Walking Socks & Waterproof Jacket B. Light Hoodie & Fusion Walking Socks C. Overland Zip Away & Crew Light Cushion D. Fusion Walking Socks & Skerray Smock 3. In which column can you find the passage? A. New Technology. B. Life Style. C. Fashion Costume. D. Advertisement. B “My P.E. teacher taught me maths.” It has been a common joke for years but when a P.E. teacher applied for the headteacher job, many parents worried that “the joke could come true”. Some parents asked, “Does the P.E. teacher know maths and English? If not, how is he supposed to tutor the students?” But there were still parents who believed P. E. teachers had more time to discipline the students since they didn’t have many classes. This concern is actually a “subject bias”. That is choosing a P.E. teacher as the headteacher is not good for the students’ grades since he doesn’t know Chinese, maths, or English. It is acceptable for Chinese teachers, math teachers and English teachers to be headteachers because these subjects are important to entrance exams and scores. Such a concern reflects parents’ anxiety in the current educational environment, which tends to link the headteacher’s responsible subject with the facts whether the school cares about the class and the children’s performances in the subject. Many people care about their kids’ academic performances only. They don’t care about their kids’ P. E. performance at all. Even if kids have P. E. classes, parents care little. P. E. teachers are in humble position and their classes are often occupied by other teachers. Of course, if students’ P. E. performance is related to grades and entrance exams, parents won’t mind “a P. E. teacher being the headteacher”. At the moment P. E. is gradually included in entrance exams. In terms of high school entrance examination, Guangzhou will launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P. E. performance and Health examination in 2021, raising the score to 70 points. In terms of the college entrance examination, universities having the right of independent enrollments added P. E. tests to their entrance exams in 2019. This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of physical fitness and athletic ability, which are important aspects of a student’s overall quality, may be included in the college entrance examination in the future. We hope that it’s a trend for P. E. teachers, music teachers and art teachers to become headteachers. 4. By saying “My P. E. teacher taught me maths.”, what does the author intend to show us? A. It is just a joke that seldom happened in reality. B. P. E. teachers hardly assist students in maths. C. P. E. teachers are good at teaching maths. D. Parents doubt the ability of P. E. teacher. 5. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that a P. E. teacher ______. A. is of little benefit for students’ academic performance B. is humbler than Chinese, math or English teachers C. reflects whether the school cares about the class D. gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system 6. Why does Guangzhou raise proportion of P. E. performance in high school entrance examination? A. To raise students’ awareness of physical health. B. To call on parents to pay attention to P. E. teachers. C. To test the overall ability of high school students. D. To make P. E. teachers equal with other teachers. 7. What opinion does the author hold towards P. E. teachers working as headteachers? A. Neutral. B. Unexpected. C. Supportive. D. Critical. 二、七选五阅读 Setting goals for ourselves can bring joy and satisfaction, whether it means making healthy lifestyle changes, or spending more time with your family. When setting these goals, self-motivation plays a key role. But when you’ve already developed certain habits, accomplishing those goals isn’t always as easy as you’d like and it may be hard to stay motivated for long. These tips will help you to overcome the difficulties and stay on track toward achieving goals. 1 Sometimes having a big goal makes it difficult to even know where to begin. Breaking down a big goal into smaller tasks, however, will help to lay out the steps toward success. Another bonus: each time you complete these small steps, you’ll obtain a large amount of dopamine, a chemical in the brain often making you feel good. Celebrate small wins When hard work pays off, you certainly deserve a moment to celebrate and give yourself credit. 2 . Buying something nice, taking the afternoon off, soaking in a long bath, and enjoying your favorite meal are all good treats. An article in Harvard Business Review tells how attention to small wins can help lift people out of depression. Get enough rest When it comes to pursuing a goal, rest is just as important as working hard. 3 . A study shows that sleep has a major impact on health and performance. As it turns out, daydreaming can actually have positive effects on your brain, so give yourself a chance to “turn off” by taking breaks. Surround yourself with supportive people Having the right friends in your life will have a big impact on everything, especially when trying to make a major change. 4 . You’ll need cheerleaders on the sidelines who can lift you up when selfmotivation drops. When you feel discouraged, don’t be afraid to ask for help from those supportive people in your corner to stay motivated. Remember that going through a major life change doesn’t happen easily. You will likely come across wins along with missteps and failures. 5 . As you stay motivated and overcome challenges, accomplishing your goals will feel even more deserved and rewarding. A. But that’s normal B. Be sure to set big goals C. Make sure you get enough sleep D. Break down big goals into smaller ones E. Mark each small success by treating yourself F. These wins may make you feel very proud G. People with good support systems have a better chance of succeeding 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三一轮复习 第18讲 【课程目标】 1.词汇积累18； 2.一词多义之available; 3.课堂练习 4.素养积累阅读：剪纸艺术，民间艺术的代表 5.强化提升练习 【课程步骤】 词汇积累18 一、写作词汇——写词形 1. ____ vt. 劝说；说服 2. ____ vt. 转换；交换 vi.& vt.(使) 改变；转变 n. 开关；转换器；改变 3. ____ n. 常规；正常顺序 adj. 常规的；日常的 4. ____ n. 瞬间；片刻 adj. 立即的；速食的；速溶的 5. ____ n. 指令；命令；控制 vt. 命令；控制 6. ____ vi.& vt. 服从；遵守 7. ____ adj. 不断的；重复的；不变的 n. 常数；常量 8. ____ adj. 不正常的；反常的 9. ____ adj. 可获得的；可购得的；(人) 有空的 10. ____ n. 犯罪活动；不法行为 11. ____ vt.& n. 预测；预报 12. ____ vt. 反对；抵制；阻挠 13. ____ adj. 乡村的；农村的 14. ____ vt. 提倡；支持；拥护 n. 提倡者；支持者；拥护者 15. ____ n. 可能性；前景 16. ____ n. 文章 [答案] 1. persuade 2. switch 3. routine 4. instant 5. command 6. obey 7. constant 8. abnormal 9. available 10. crime 11. forecast 12. oppose 13. rural 14. advocate 15. prospect 16. essay 二、阅读词汇——明词义 1. phrase n. _________ 2. appliance n. _________ 3. remote adj. _________ 4. automatic adj. _________ 5. efficient adj. _________ 6. sensor n. _________ 7. mode n. _________ 8. critical adj. _________ 9. cancer n. _________ 10. leak vi.& vt. _________ n. _________ 11. electrical adj. _________ 12. detect vt. _________ 13. relevant adj. _________ 14. fantasy n. _________ 15. innovation n. _________ 16. nevertheless adv. _________ 17. structure n. _________ vt. _________ 18. clone vt. _________ n. _________ 19. hence adv. _________ 20. cease vi.& vt. _________ 21. deceased adj. _________ 22. emphasis n. _________ [答案] 1. 短语；词组 2. 电器；器具 3. 远程的；偏远的 4. 自动的 5. 效率高的；有功效的 6. 传感器；敏感元件 7. 模式；方式；风格 8. 严重的；关键的；批判性的 9. 癌；癌症；毒瘤 10. 漏；渗漏；透露/漏洞；裂缝；透露 11. 电的；用电的 12. 发现；查明 13. 有关的；有意义的 14. 幻想；想象 15. 创新；创造 16. 尽管如此；不过；然而 17. 结构；体系/系统安排；精心组织 18. 克隆；以无性繁殖技术复制/克隆动物 (或植物) 19. 因此；由此 20.

Many people care about their kids’ academic performances only. They don’t care about their kids’ P. E. performance at all. Even if kids have P. E. classes, parents care little. P. E. teachers are in humble position and their classes are often occupied by other teachers. Of course, if students’ P. E. performance is related to grades and entrance exams, parents won’t mind “a P. E. teacher being the headteacher”. At the moment P. E. is gradually included in entrance exams. In terms of high school entrance examination, Guangzhou will launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P. E. performance and Health examination in 2021, raising the score to 70 points. In terms of the college entrance examination, universities having the right of independent enrollments added P. E. tests to their entrance exams in 2019. This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of physical fitness and athletic ability, which are important aspects of a student’s overall quality, may be included in the college entrance examination in the future. We hope that it’s a trend for P. E. teachers, music teachers and art teachers to become headteachers. 4. By saying “My P. E. teacher taught me maths.”, what does the author intend to show us? A. It is just a joke that seldom happened in reality. B. P. E. teachers hardly assist students in maths. C. P. E. teachers are good at teaching maths. D. Parents doubt the ability of P. E. teacher. 5. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that a P. E. teacher ______. A. is of little benefit for students’ academic performance B. is humbler than Chinese, math or English teachers C. reflects whether the school cares about the class D. gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system 6. Why does Guangzhou raise proportion of P. E. performance in high school entrance examination? A. To raise students’ awareness of physical health. B. To call on parents to pay attention to P. E. teachers. C. To test the overall ability of high school students. D. To make P. E. teachers equal with other teachers. 7. What opinion does the author hold towards P. E. teachers working as headteachers? A. Neutral. B. Unexpected. C. Supportive. D. Critical. [答案] 4—7 DDAC 二、七选五阅读 Setting goals for ourselves can bring joy and satisfaction, whether it means making healthy lifestyle changes, or spending more time with your family. When setting these goals, self-motivation plays a key role. But when you’ve already developed certain habits, accomplishing those goals isn’t always as easy as you’d like and it may be hard to stay motivated for long. These tips will help you to overcome the difficulties and stay on track toward achieving goals. 1 Sometimes having a big goal makes it difficult to even know where to begin. Breaking down a big goal into smaller tasks, however, will help to lay out the steps toward success. Another bonus: each time you complete these small steps, you’ll obtain a large amount of dopamine, a chemical in the brain often making you feel good. Celebrate small wins When hard work pays off, you certainly deserve a moment to celebrate and give yourself credit. 2 . Buying something nice, taking the afternoon off, soaking in a long bath, and enjoying your favorite meal are all good treats. An article in Harvard Business Review tells how attention to small wins can help lift people out of depression. Get enough rest When it comes to pursuing a goal, rest is just as important as working hard. 3 . A study shows that sleep has a major impact on health and performance. As it turns out, daydreaming can actually have positive effects on your brain, so give yourself a chance to “turn off” by taking breaks. Surround yourself with supportive people Having the right friends in your life will have a big impact on everything, especially when trying to make a major change. 4 . You’ll need cheerleaders on the sidelines who can lift you up when selfmotivation drops. When you feel discouraged, don’t be afraid to ask for help from those supportive people in your corner to stay motivated. Remember that going through a major life change doesn’t happen easily. You will likely come across wins along with missteps and failures. 5 . As you stay motivated and overcome challenges, accomplishing your goals will feel even more deserved and rewarding. A. But that’s normal B. Be sure to set big goals C. Make sure you get enough sleep D. Break down big goals into smaller ones E. Mark each small success by treating yourself F. These wins may make you feel very proud G. People with good support systems have a better chance of succeeding [答案] 1—5 DECGA 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
