I couldn’t wait to pick up my chopsticks and dig in. I had never imagined a dish could be this delicious! I got totally carried away, eating without stopping because it was simply too tasty to put down. By the time I felt full, I realized I’d finished two large bowls. I looked down at my stomach, which was so full it felt like I was carrying a little food baby ready to pop. Suddenly, I remembered my opening costume was a pair of tight low-rise pants (紧身低腰裤). To my embarrassment, I couldn’t fit into them at all. I had no choice but to change into a loose (宽松的) pair for the show. Now, 11 years have flown by, and I am still crazy about hot dry noodles.

I couldn’t wait to pick up my chopsticks and dig in.”可知，闻到香味后的自然生理反应是流口水，从而引出下文迫不及待想吃。 【34题详解】 根据文章第一段“I got totally carried away, eating without stopping”可知，作者吃得停不下来，说明完全沉浸其中失去了节制，忘乎所以。 【35题详解】 根据文章最后一段“It’s truly a wonderful memory.”及全文内容可知，文章主要回忆了在武汉发生的这段有趣往事，涵盖吃面和换裤子的情节。 C Can you live through the hot summer without an air conditioner? Maybe your answer is “No!” But how did people in ancient China drive the heat away? Hand fans were almost the only help. China has been making hand fans for more than 3,000 years. Hand fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made of different kinds of materials. The earliest form of fans was the feather fans in the Shang Dynasty. Cattail leaf fans (蒲扇) were cheap and easy to make and they were the most useful kind for everyone. Sandalwood fans (檀香扇) could send out a sweet smell. Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They developed into artworks, in which round fans and folding fans were the most common. Round fans were usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) on them. Women liked to use them. In ancient China, people often compared a woman’s deserted life to round fans, for fans are no longer needed when summer is over. Nalan Xingde once wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?” People used folding fans. These fans were usually made of paper and people could paint and write poems (诗词) on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents. Today, Chinese people still use these fans. So the next time you use a fan, you may think of the stories behind it. 36. What can we know from paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Round fans were made of paper. B. Sandalwood fans were very easy to make. C. Cattail leaf fans were very popular with people. D. Hand fans were only used to drive the heat away. 37. The underlined phrase “a woman’s deserted life” means the life ________. A. that was not needed any longer B. that was preferred by poets C. that was free and colorful D. that was busy and hard 38. Why is the poem in paragraph 4 mentioned? A. It’s the most famous poem. B. It was written by Nalan Xingde. C. It’s used to prove an opinion. D. It can show people’s love for fans. 39. The writer writes the passage to ________. A. introduce the use of hand fans B. tell about Chinese hand fans C. ask people to buy hand fans D. show the importance of fans 40. Which could be the best theme picture of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. C 39. B 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了中国传统手扇的发展历史、常见种类、用途演变以及背后的文化内涵。 【36题详解】 根据文章第二段“Cattail leaf fans were cheap and easy to make and they were the most useful kind for everyone.”可推知，蒲扇价格便宜、制作简单，对所有人都很实用，因此十分受人们欢迎。 【37题详解】 根据文章第四段“for fans are no longer needed when summer is over”可推知，古人将被遗弃女子的生活比作夏天过后就不再被需要的团扇，因此划线短语指的是“不再被需要的生活”。 【38题详解】 根据文章第四段“In ancient China, people often compared a woman’s deserted life to round fans, for fans are no longer needed when summer is over.”可推知，前文提出了“古人常用团扇比喻女子被遗弃的人生”的观点，引用纳兰性德的诗句是为了佐证这一观点。 【39题详解】 通读全文可推知，文章从历史、材质、种类、文化寓意等多个方面介绍了中国传统手扇，因此作者的写作目的是介绍中国手扇的相关内容。 【40题详解】 根据全文对中国传统手扇的多方面介绍（包含羽毛扇、蒲扇、折扇等多种类型）可推知，文章核心围绕中国传统手扇展开，选项B图片展示了多种不同形制的中国传统手扇，最契合文章主题。 第II卷 非选择题（满分40分） 五、词与短语填空（每小题2分，共5小题，满分10分） full / protect / won / beat / believed / imagined / takes in Why have men evolved (进化) to wear beards?

The man started to do this four years ago after watching videos of a Chinese artist carving pencil lead (铅笔芯) into sculptures. Through Ibrahim’s hands, landmarks across the world such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and famous people like European footballer and Liverpool Mohamed Sarah appear on the pencil tips. The size of each sculpture is no more than 6 mm and each takes about 10 hours to finish. ____________________________ Colorful felt (毛毡) flowers have been “planted” at different street corners throughout Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. Luo Shengtian, a graduate of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, started this project with one goal in mind: to better the city. He first repaired the city’s “scars (伤疤)” like broken walls and stones by using felt with matching colors. Finally settling on flowers, Luo noted that these colorful “plants” are like a “beautiful warning”, reminding people to be careful of the damaged (被损坏的) street corners.

As a singer, when I held my first concert in Wuhan at 22, I rushed to try a bowl right after getting off the plane. The moment I smelled its savory (咸香的) aroma, ※ . I couldn’t wait to pick up my chopsticks and dig in. I had never imagined a dish could be this delicious! I got totally carried away, eating without stopping because it was simply too tasty to put down. By the time I felt full, I realized I’d finished two large bowls. I looked down at my stomach, which was so full it felt like I was carrying a little food baby ready to pop. Suddenly, I remembered my opening costume was a pair of tight low-rise pants (紧身低腰裤). To my embarrassment, I couldn’t fit into them at all. I had no choice but to change into a loose (宽松的) pair for the show. Now, 11 years have flown by, and I am still crazy about hot dry noodles. It’s truly a wonderful memory. 31. In the writer’s opinion, which word can best describe Wuhan hot dry noodles? A. awful B. delicious C. embarrassed D. bad 32.

Hand fans were almost the only help. China has been making hand fans for more than 3,000 years. Hand fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made of different kinds of materials. The earliest form of fans was the feather fans in the Shang Dynasty. Cattail leaf fans (蒲扇) were cheap and easy to make and they were the most useful kind for everyone. Sandalwood fans (檀香扇) could send out a sweet smell. Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They developed into artworks, in which round fans and folding fans were the most common. Round fans were usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) on them. Women liked to use them. In ancient China, people often compared a woman’s deserted life to round fans, for fans are no longer needed when summer is over. Nalan Xingde once wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?” People used folding fans. These fans were usually made of paper and people could paint and write poems (诗词) on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents. Today, Chinese people still use these fans. So the next time you use a fan, you may think of the stories behind it. 36. What can we know from paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Round fans were made of paper. B. Sandalwood fans were very easy to make. C. Cattail leaf fans were very popular with people. D. Hand fans were only used to drive the heat away. 37. The underlined phrase “a woman’s deserted life” means the life ________.
