If you do, it is time for you to think about solving the problem. Here are some of my ways. When you are angry, try to tell yourself that it is not a bad thing. It just shows that you have different ideas. Accept that many things are not 100% right or wrong. In our communication with others, the final purpose is not to decide who is right or who is wrong, but to look for something in common. If you are still in anger, try taking a breath (深呼吸) and let anger out of your body along with the breath. Don’t say bad words when you are very angry. You may regret (懊悔) saying them when you cool down. Discussing with the third party is also helpful. It is hard for the two people in anger to understand each other, but the idea of the third man can help the two people get to know each other better. Anger is just one of the many emotions (情绪) in our lives. If we can well solve the problem, we will truly understand ourselves and the world. 29. How does the writer start the text? A. By showing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By giving an example. D. By asking a question. 30. What does the writer ask us to do when we can’t cool down? A. Say angry words. B. Exercise our bodies. C. Try taking a breath. D. Stop talking with others. 31. What does the underlined word “party” mean? A. An activity. B. A visitor. C. A person. D. A meeting. 32. In which part of a magazine can we read the text? A. Life. B. Sports. C. Culture. D. Travel. 【答案】29. D 30. C 31. C 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了管理愤怒情绪的几种方法，包括自我接纳、深呼吸以及寻求第三方帮助等，旨在帮助读者更好地解决情绪问题，从而理解自己和世界。 【29题详解】 根据文章第一段第一句话“Do you often get angry?”可知，作者通过提出一个问题来开启全文，引入关于愤怒的话题。 【30题详解】 根据文章第三段第一句话“If you are still in anger, try taking a breath…”可知，当无法冷静时，作者建议尝试深呼吸。 【31题详解】 根据文章第四段第二句话“…but the idea of the third man can help the two people get to know each other better.”可知，后文提到的“the third man”是对划线词的解释，指代局外的一个人。 【32题详解】 通读全文，文章主要探讨生活中的情绪管理与人际沟通问题，与日常生活密切相关，适合出现在杂志的生活板块。 C When you look at a piece of Chinese paper-cutting, you might notice its beautiful patterns—but hidden in those lines are special numbers that have been passed down for hundreds of years. These numbers aren’t just for counting; they carry cultural meanings and make the artworks balanced and meaningful. Take the “double happiness” (双喜) paper-cutting, a common design for weddings, as an example. The pattern is made of 10 small squares: 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom, and 2 in the middle. Why 10? In Chinese culture, 10 stands for “perfection”—it comes from the idea that “heaven has 9 layers and earth has 1,” combining to make 10, a number that symbolizes wholeness. Also, the two “xi” (喜) characters in “double happiness” each have 12 strokes. The total 24 strokes represent “24 solar terms” in a year, a symbol of hope for a life full of good seasons, as the solar terms have guided farming and daily life for thousands of years. Another classic design is the “lotus with fish” (荷花鱼). The lotus flower in the cut has 16 petals (花瓣). Old paper-cutters say 16 is a “lucky even number”—it’s double 8, and 8 is connected to “prosperity” (wealth) because the Chinese character for 8 looks like it’s opening up, suggesting growth and expansion. The fish next to the lotus has 5 fins: 2 on its back, 2 on its sides, and 1 on its tail. The number 5 here represents the “five elements” (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) in Chinese philosophy. It’s believed that if the five elements are in balance, the family will be healthy and free from misfortune. However, keeping these number rules alive is getting hard. Young people who learn paper-cutting often focus more on the patterns than the hidden numbers, as they rarely hear the old stories behind the counts. Some even simplify the designs—for example, using 8 petals for the lotus instead of 16—to make cutting easier. To protect this tradition, some craftsmen now write down the number secrets in books and teach them in workshops. They don’t just show how to cut the shapes; they explain the connections between numbers and ancient beliefs, hoping that the next generation will not only cut beautiful paper but also carry on the cultural wisdom in the numbers. 33. Why does the number 10 symbolize “perfection” in the “double happiness” paper-cutting? A. It matches the 10 small squares in the pattern’s structure. B. It comes from the ancient idea of “heaven (9) + earth (1) = wholeness.” C. It represents the 10 layers of meaning in wedding traditions. D. It is the total number of strokes of the two “xi” characters. 34. What can we infer about young people’s simplified paper-cut designs? A. They make the designs more popular among foreign audiences. B. They help pass down the cultural meaning of the original numbers. C. They may lead to the loss of the hidden number-related wisdom. D. They show young people’s creativity in improving traditional crafts. 35. The writer mentions the “24 solar terms” and “five elements” in the passage to ________. A. prove that Chinese paper-cutting is older than other traditional arts B. explain why the numbers in paper-cutting have cultural value C. compare different cultural symbols used in wedding and daily designs D. show how paper-cutting patterns guide people’s farming and daily life 36. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Ancient Chinese beliefs about numbers have changed the way paper-cutting is made. B. Chinese paper-cutting’s hidden numbers carry cultural wisdom but face risks of not being passed down. C. The “double happiness” and “lotus with fish” are the most important paper-cutting designs. D. Craftsmen are trying to save traditional paper-cutting by writing down cutting techniques. 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. B 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了剪纸图案中数字的文化含义及传承困境。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Chinese culture, 10 stands for ‘perfection’—it comes from the idea that ‘heaven has 9 layers and earth has 1,’ combining to make 10, a number that symbolizes wholeness.”可知，数字10象征“完美”，源于“天有9层，地有1层，相加为10”的传统观念。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Young people who learn paper-cutting often focus more on the patterns than the hidden numbers, as they rarely hear the old stories behind the counts. Some even simplify the designs—for example, using 8 petals for the lotus instead of 16—to make cutting easier.”可知，年轻人常简化设计（如将16瓣莲花改为8瓣），这虽便于制作，但可能忽略数字背后的文化含义，因此简化设计可能导致隐含的数字智慧失传。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Also, the two ‘xi’ (喜) characters in ‘double happiness’ each have 12 strokes. The total 24 strokes represent ‘24 solar terms’ in a year, a symbol of hope for a life full of good seasons, as the solar terms have guided farming and daily life for thousands of years.”可知，文中通过“24节气”和“五行”等概念，解释了剪纸中数字（如24画、5片鱼鳍）的文化象征意义，旨在说明这些数字并非随意选择，而是承载着深厚的文化价值。故选B。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕中国剪纸中隐藏的数字及其文化含义展开，同时指出这些数字智慧面临传承困难，最后提及手工艺人正通过记录和教学努力保护这一传统。B选项概括了文章主旨。故选B。 D Annie looks down the street at the Frog Creek woods, saying, “Hey, Jack.

A. has the best clothes B. sells men’s clothing C. opens earliest each morning D. sells women’s clothing B Do you often get angry? If you do, it is time for you to think about solving the problem. Here are some of my ways. When you are angry, try to tell yourself that it is not a bad thing. It just shows that you have different ideas. Accept that many things are not 100% right or wrong. In our communication with others, the final purpose is not to decide who is right or who is wrong, but to look for something in common. If you are still in anger, try taking a breath (深呼吸) and let anger out of your body along with the breath. Don’t say bad words when you are very angry. You may regret (懊悔) saying them when you cool down. Discussing with the third party is also helpful. It is hard for the two people in anger to understand each other, but the idea of the third man can help the two people get to know each other better. Anger is just one of the many emotions (情绪) in our lives. If we can well solve the problem, we will truly understand ourselves and the world. 29. How does the writer start the text? A. By showing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By giving an example. D. By asking a question. 30. What does the writer ask us to do when we can’t cool down? A. Say angry words. B. Exercise our bodies. C. Try taking a breath. D. Stop talking with others. 31. What does the underlined word “party” mean? A. An activity. B. A visitor. C. A person. D. A meeting. 32. In which part of a magazine can we read the text? A. Life. B. Sports. C. Culture. D. Travel. C When you look at a piece of Chinese paper-cutting, you might notice its beautiful patterns—but hidden in those lines are special numbers that have been passed down for hundreds of years. These numbers aren’t just for counting; they carry cultural meanings and make the artworks balanced and meaningful. Take the “double happiness” (双喜) paper-cutting, a common design for weddings, as an example. The pattern is made of 10 small squares: 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom, and 2 in the middle. Why 10? In Chinese culture, 10 stands for “perfection”—it comes from the idea that “heaven has 9 layers and earth has 1,” combining to make 10, a number that symbolizes wholeness. Also, the two “xi” (喜) characters in “double happiness” each have 12 strokes. The total 24 strokes represent “24 solar terms” in a year, a symbol of hope for a life full of good seasons, as the solar terms have guided farming and daily life for thousands of years. Another classic design is the “lotus with fish” (荷花鱼). The lotus flower in the cut has 16 petals (花瓣). Old paper-cutters say 16 is a “lucky even number”—it’s double 8, and 8 is connected to “prosperity” (wealth) because the Chinese character for 8 looks like it’s opening up, suggesting growth and expansion. The fish next to the lotus has 5 fins: 2 on its back, 2 on its sides, and 1 on its tail. The number 5 here represents the “five elements” (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) in Chinese philosophy. It’s believed that if the five elements are in balance, the family will be healthy and free from misfortune. However, keeping these number rules alive is getting hard. Young people who learn paper-cutting often focus more on the patterns than the hidden numbers, as they rarely hear the old stories behind the counts. Some even simplify the designs—for example, using 8 petals for the lotus instead of 16—to make cutting easier. To protect this tradition, some craftsmen now write down the number secrets in books and teach them in workshops. They don’t just show how to cut the shapes; they explain the connections between numbers and ancient beliefs, hoping that the next generation will not only cut beautiful paper but also carry on the cultural wisdom in the numbers. 33. Why does the number 10 symbolize “perfection” in the “double happiness” paper-cutting? A. It matches the 10 small squares in the pattern’s structure. B. It comes from the ancient idea of “heaven (9) + earth (1) = wholeness.” C. It represents the 10 layers of meaning in wedding traditions. D. It is the total number of strokes of the two “xi” characters. 34. What can we infer about young people’s simplified paper-cut designs? A. They make the designs more popular among foreign audiences. B. They help pass down the cultural meaning of the original numbers. C. They may lead to the loss of the hidden number-related wisdom. D. They show young people’s creativity in improving traditional crafts. 35. The writer mentions the “24 solar terms” and “five elements” in the passage to ________. A. prove that Chinese paper-cutting is older than other traditional arts B. explain why the numbers in paper-cutting have cultural value C. compare different cultural symbols used in wedding and daily designs D. show how paper-cutting patterns guide people’s farming and daily life 36. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Ancient Chinese beliefs about numbers have changed the way paper-cutting is made. B. Chinese paper-cutting’s hidden numbers carry cultural wisdom but face risks of not being passed down. C. The “double happiness” and “lotus with fish” are the most important paper-cutting designs. D. Craftsmen are trying to save traditional paper-cutting by writing down cutting techniques. D Annie looks down the street at the Frog Creek woods, saying, “Hey, Jack. Can you hear it?” Jack sits next to her, reading a book. “Hear what?” “Teddy’s calling us,” says Annie. Jack looks down the street and listens, too. Arf! Arf! He stands up and gets his bag, saying, “You’re right. We must go.” Then, they run down the street and into the Frog Creek woods.
