Free admission every Sunday.(自开业以来，它的规模扩大了一倍，增加了一个1.5万平方英尺的雕塑花园，并扩大了永久收藏，从Tamayo和Matta的作品到Cruz-Diez、Los Carpinteros和Tunga的作品。)”可知，Museum of Latin American Art不断扩大。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Caltech Museum:部分的“Founded in 1979 by members of the Caltech community and the Pasadena Junior League, the museum develops the potential of all kids through kid-driven experiences, inspiring them to become joyful, active learners.(1979年由Caltech社区和Pasadena Junior League的成员创建，博物馆通过儿童驱动的体验开发所有孩子的潜力，激励他们成为快乐的、积极的学习者。)”可知，Caltech Museum有助于促进积极性，故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Museum of Latin American Art:部分的“Free admission every Sunday.(每周日免费入场。)”，Autry Museum of the American West:部分的“Free admission on the second Tuesday of every month.(每月第二个星期二免费入场。)”，Descanso Gardens:部分的“Free admission on the third Tuesday of every month.(每月第三个星期二免费入场。)”和Caltech Museum:部分的“Admission to the museum is free on First Fridays.(博物馆在首个星期五免费入场。)”可知，这些博物馆和花园的共同之处在于它们定期提供免费入场，故选D。 B It’s not quite often when we see architects devoted to creating buildings as more than art, expression, or technological creation. Shigeru Ban is one of the most clever architects who knows how to recognize pressing problems and come up with the best solutions for them. Shigeru Ban is a Japanese architect born in Tokyo in 1957, he founded Shigeru Ban Architects in 1985 and has since then expanded branches from Tokvo to New York and Paris. His career has spanned over various architectural fields from commercial spaces to museums, but his disaster relief (救灾) work shines the most. He set a new standard for socially-aware and emergent (紧急的) architecture and paved the way for teaching the whole world how building skills can help in times of crises. His unique method earned him the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2014, where he was honored for his devotion to designing shelters for disaster-stricken areas. He is highly praised for showing how architecture can be a tool for positive social change, particularly in his attention to using materials and attending to social needs. In a 2017 interview, Shigeru Ban was asked about what guided him towards being involved with disaster relief architecture. His replies detailed that there seemed to be a lack of social responsibility among architects in Japan regarding this matter, so he felt the urge to take action. After the Kobe earthquake in 1995, Ban saw the poor living conditions related to evacuation centers and wanted to make a change with architecture. Following this event, he established the Voluntary Architects’ Network (VAN) to provide support to disaster-affected areas worldwide. When asked whether his initiatives were inspired by Japan’s continuous risk for earthquakes and volcano eruptions, he explained that his motivation (动力) comes from a desire to improve living conditions for disaster victims rather than Japan’s geographic risks. He’s a man with a skill for identifying problems and finding solutions. 4. What does the underlined word “expanded” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Organized. B. Enlarged. C. Strengthened. D. Tracked. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The new standard Ban set for architecture. B. The creative use of materials in Ban’s design. C. The achievements of Ban’s disaster relief work. D. The reasons Ban designed shelters for the homeless. 6. What was Ban’s motivation for disaster relief work? A. His skills in dealing with natural disaster. B. His terrible suffering in a natural disaster. C. His concern about Japan’s geographic risks. D. His desire to improve the life of those in need. 7. Which of the following can best describe Shigeru Ban? A. Caring and creative. B. Responsible but impolite. C. Selfless but careless. D. Talented and outgoing. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了日本建筑师Shigeru Ban的生平事迹，重点强调了他在救灾建筑方面的贡献以及他设立的新标准。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“he founded Shigeru Ban Architects in 1985 and has since then expanded branches from Tokyo to New York and Paris.(他于1985年创立了Shigeru Ban Architects，并从此将分支机构从东京expanded到纽约和巴黎)”可知，Shigeru Ban初创于东京，后来在纽约和巴黎建立了分支机构，即他的公司规模变大了，故划线词expanded意思是“扩大”，与B项Enlarged同义。故选B项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“He set a new standard for socially-aware and emergent (紧急的) architecture and paved the way for teaching the whole world how building skills can help in times of crises. His unique method earned him the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2014, where he was honored for his devotion to designing shelters for disaster-stricken areas. He is highly praised for showing how architecture can be a tool for positive social change, particularly in his attention to using materials and attending to social needs.(他为具有社会意识和紧急情况的建筑设立了一个新的标准，并为向全世界传授建筑技能如何在危机时刻提供帮助铺平了道路。他独特的方法使他在2014年获得了普利兹克建筑奖，他在该奖项中因致力于为灾区设计避难所而获得荣誉。他因展示了建筑如何成为积极社会变革的工具而受到高度赞扬，特别是在他注重使用材料和关注社会需求方面)”可知，本段主要介绍了Ban在救灾建筑方面的成就，包括设立新标准、获得普利兹克建筑奖以及受到的高度赞扬，所以本段主要介绍了Ban在救灾建筑方面的工作成就。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“he explained that his motivation (动力) comes from a desire to improve living conditions for disaster victims rather than Japan’s geographic risks.(他解释说，他的动力来自于改善灾难受害者的生活条件，而不是日本的地理风险)”可知，Ban参与救灾工作的动力是改善灾难受害者的生活条件。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In a 2017 interview, Shigeru Ban was asked about what guided him towards being involved with disaster relief architecture. His replies detailed that there seemed to be a lack of social responsibility among architects in Japan regarding this matter, so he felt the urge to take action.(在 2017 年的一次采访中，Shigeru Ban被问到是什么引导他参与救灾建筑。他很详细地作出回答，在这件事上，日本的建筑师们似乎缺乏社会责任感，所以他感到有采取行动的欲望)”和最后一段“He’s a man with a skill for identifying problems and finding solutions.(他是一个善于发现问题并找到解决方案的人)”可推知，Shigeru Ban是一个有社会责任感，关心社会的人，也是一个善于发现问题并找到解决方案，有创造力的人。故选A项。 C Western fashion brands (时尚品牌) have a design problem with Chinese characters, or hanzi. They still disappoint Chinese customers with the way they use Chinese writing on their products. The most common mistakes suggest there is not enough research and cultural understanding. For example, a Burberry scarf was embroidered (刺绣) with the Chinese character fu upright instead of upside down, as it’s traditionally shown in China. Even the fonts (字体) are a problem. In May, Dior, one of the world’s leading fashion brands, started a special service for customers to have their Chinese names embroidered on Book Tote handbags. When some Chinese stars carrying the customized handbags were shown on social media, the Chinese fashion community expressed their disappointment. Many believed the font on Dior’s handbags showed little artistic taste and looked cheap. It’s not all disappointment, though. Experimentation and careful research have brought positive results for brands coming close to hanzi. Consider the logo (标志) created for Prada Rong Zhai, an old building repaired and owned by the Prada Group in Shanghai. The Rong Zhai type was created by 2 x4 (a New York-based design studio) by using the Roman letters in the original Prada logo to create the Chinese characters. The result is a unique logo that suggests both lettered strictness and a classic Prada style. The type’s West-meet-East mix won broad admiration among Chinese customers online. One way to keep up to date is to team up with creatives and artists of the country to create designs that can be more acceptable to Chinese customers. Joining forces with local partners can also avoid misunderstandings that happen when a design team doesn't know Chinese culture very well. 8. What were the Chinese fashion community disappointed at？ A. The design’s old-fashion. B. The design’s higher price. C. The design’s common font. D. The design’s ugly brand name. 9. What is special about the logo of Prada Rong Zhai？ A. It brings together Western and Chinese writing. B. It is created to introduce Chinese hanzi culture. C. It was designed by online supporters of the company. D. It invited a famous Chinese star to write the characters. 10. What does the author expect Western designers to do？ A. Try to create more fashionable fonts. B. Show more hanzi in Western culture. C. Find the causes of cultural differences. D. Work together with Chinese designers. 11. What does the text mainly want to tell us？ A. International brands spreading Chinese culture. B. Western fashion's struggle with Chinese writing. C. Western designers' research on Chinese characters. D. The collection between Chinese customers and hanzi. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了西方时尚品牌在使用汉字设计时遇到的困境及其原因，并提出了一些看法和建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When some Chinese stars carrying the customized handbags were shown on social media, the Chinese fashion community expressed their disappointment. Many believed the font on Dior’s handbags showed little artistic taste and looked cheap.(当一些携带定制手袋的中国明星在社交媒体上展示时，中国时尚界表示失望。许多人认为迪奥手袋上的字体没有什么艺术品味，看起来很廉价)”可知，中国时尚界认为迪奥手袋上的字体太普通，看起来很廉价，对该设计感到失望。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Consider the logo created for Prada Rong Zhai, an old building repaired and owned by the Prada Group in Shanghai. The Rong Zhai type was created by 2x4 （a New York-based design studio） by using the Roman letters in the original Prada logo to create the Chinese characters. The result is a unique logo that suggests both lettered strictness  and a classic Prada style. The type’s West-meet-East mix won broad admiration among Chinese customers online.(想想为Prada荣宅创建的标志，这是一座由Prada集团在上海维修并拥有的旧建筑。荣宅式是由2x4工作室（一家总部位于纽约的设计工作室）通过使用Prada原始标志中的罗马字母来创造汉字的。其结果是一个独特的标志，暗示着字母的严格和经典的Prada风格。这种类型的中西融合在网上赢得了中国消费者的广泛赞誉)”可知，Prada荣宅logo的特别之处是融合了中西方文化。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One way to keep up to date is to team up with creatives and artists of the country to create designs that can be more acceptable to Chinese customers. Joining forces with local partners can also avoid misunderstandings that happen when a design team doesn’t know Chinese culture very well.(跟上潮流的一种方法是与中国的创意人员和艺术家合作，创造更能被中国客户接受的设计。与当地合作伙伴合作也可以避免设计团队不太了解中国文化时产生的误解)”可推知，作者希望西方设计师与中国设计师合作，创造出更能被中国客户接受的设计，同时避免设计团队不太了解中国文化时产生的误解。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。阅读全文，尤其是文章第一段“Western fashion brands (时尚品牌) have a design problem with Chinese characters, or hanzi. They still disappoint Chinese customers with the way they use Chinese writing on their products.(西方时尚品牌存在汉字的设计问题。他们在产品上使用中文的方式仍然让中国消费者感到失望)”可知，文章主要探讨了西方时尚品牌在使用汉字设计时遇到的困境及其原因，作者主要想告诉我们西方的时尚与中国汉字之间的文化冲击。故选B。 D It’s fun to sing in the car. In a recent study, 64% of drivers said listening to music makes the driving experience better. But 54% of people said driving is less fun if they have to listen to music they don’t like. So what happens when passengers have different musical tastes than the driver does and they want to choose what to play? Many people think passengers should get a say because they also have to listen to whatever is playing. But others say the driver’s preference counts most. What do you think? Should the driver choose the car tunes? Yes - it’s an extra advantage of the job. The driver is taking the passengers where they need to go, so they should have the right to choose the tunes. They shouldn’t have to listen to something they don’t like, especially on long trips. Drivers also know what music helps them stay calm and focused, while passengers could choose music that annoys the driver. Safety isn’t a concern because the driver can set a playlist before they head out. And if the rule is that the driver always decides, there’s less chance of disagreement over what to play. No - it’s not fair or safe. The driver should be fully focused on the road, not thinking about what song to listen to next or scrolling through a playlist. Passengers, however, have their hands free, so it’s safe for them to search for and select the music. Besides, it’s not fair that only the person behind the wheel gets to choose what to listen to. Long car trips can be boring, especially for kids. If they get to pick the music they want to hear, they will have more fun and won’t fight as much. To make things better, passengers can take music requests from the driver and others in the car. That way, everyone gets a chance to share the music they love. 12. Why is it considered “an extra advantage” for the driver to choose the music? A. It makes sure of no disagreements during the trip. B. It gives the driver more rights on the car-environment. C. It makes the driver feel more important than the passengers. D. It allows the driver to create a more enjoyable driving experience. 13. What is the author’s attitude towards the choice of music? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Fearful. 14. What is advised to make choosing music easier in paragraph 3? A. The driver should have the final say. B. Requests from both sides are considered together. C. Only the children in the car should choose the music. D. Passengers give a music playlist to the driver before the trip. 15. How does the author develop the passage? A. By exploring views on car music choice. B. By giving facts about music and driving. C. By sharing stories about driving experiences. D. By using examples to show why music matters. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了在最近的一项研究中，64%的司机说听音乐能让驾驶体验更好。但54%的人表示，如果他们不得不听自己不喜欢的音乐，开车就不那么有趣了。那么，当乘客和司机的音乐品味不同，他们想要选择播放的音乐时，会发生什么呢？文章通过探索人们对汽车音乐选择的看法来发展，例如司机选择音乐的优势和乘客选择音乐的合理性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yes - it’s an extra advantage of the job. The driver is taking the passengers where they need to go, so they should have the right to choose the tunes. They shouldn’t have to listen to something they don’t like, especially on long trips. Drivers also know what music helps them stay calm and focused, while passengers could choose music that annoys the driver. (是的，这是这份工作的额外好处。司机把乘客带到他们需要去的地方，所以他们应该有选择音乐的权利。他们不应该听自己不喜欢的东西，尤其是在长途旅行中。司机也知道什么音乐能帮助他们保持冷静和专注，而乘客可能会选择让司机烦恼的音乐。)”可知，司机选择音乐会被认为是“额外的好处”是因为它可以让司机创造一个更愉快的驾驶体验。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Besides, it’s not fair that only the person behind the wheel gets to choose what to listen to. Long car trips can be boring, especially for kids. If they get to pick the music they want to hear, they will have more fun and won’t fight as much. To make things better, passengers can take music requests from the driver and others in the car. That way, everyone gets a chance to share the music they love. ( 此外，只有开车的人才能选择听什么，这是不公平的。长途汽车旅行可能很无聊，尤其是对孩子们来说。如果他们可以选择他们想听的音乐，他们会有更多的乐趣，也不会经常吵架。为了让事情变得更好，乘客可以接受司机和车内其他人的音乐要求。这样，每个人都有机会分享他们喜欢的音乐。)”可推知，作者对音乐的选择持客观的态度。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To make things better, passengers can take music requests from the driver and others in the car. That way, everyone gets a chance to share the music they love. (为了让事情变得更好，乘客可以接受司机和车内其他人的音乐要求。这样，每个人都有机会分享他们喜欢的音乐。)”可知，在第三段中建议双方的要求将一并考虑会使选择音乐更容易。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s fun to sing in the car. In a recent study, 64% of drivers said listening to music makes the driving experience better. But 54% of people said driving is less fun if they have to listen to music they don’t like. So what happens when passengers have different musical tastes than the driver does and they want to choose what to play? ( 在车里唱歌很有趣。在最近的一项研究中，64%的司机说听音乐能让驾驶体验更好。但54%的人表示，如果他们不得不听自己不喜欢的音乐，开车就不那么有趣了。那么，当乘客和司机的音乐品味不同，他们想要选择播放的音乐时，会发生什么呢？)”可推知，作者是通过探索人们对汽车音乐选择的看法来展开文章的，例如司机选择音乐的优势和乘客选择音乐的合理性。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后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 Study Less and Learn More The first thing that you need to realize is that it does not matter how long you spend studying is flawed (有缺陷的).

My friend Henry and I set off on a short trip with a local as our guide. He said it would be a rather easy two-hour hike to see the Paiute trout (克拉克大马哈鱼) living in its natural living place. We believed what he had said and started out following him. But we later found it was a different story. When we three arrived at the place, Henry and I were worn out. However, we were not too tired to enjoy the excitement when we saw the colorful fish swimming freely there. I stood by the water and Henry took some photos of me with green plants and beautiful flowers. Time passed quickly. Before we knew it, it was getting late. The local guide told us that we could only appreciate the scenery (景色) for a brief while and then we had to go back to our car before dark. We had thought the rest of the hike should be relaxing. But it wasn’t as it was the steepest (最陡峭的) way that we’d faced so far. When we advanced, my huge backpack felt like a ton of stone. Both of my legs were really painful and tears ran out of my eyes. And there was another mountain ahead of us. As the sun began to set, my legs gave out completely. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Seeing that, Henry asked me to take one tiny step at a time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, we climbed over the mountain. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Seeing that, Henry asked me to take one tiny step at a time. He patiently explained that each small step would bring me closer to the end. “Don’t think about the whole journey, just focus on this single step,” he encouraged. With his words in mind, I gathered my strength and forced my trembling legs to move. Step by step, I made my way forward, ignoring the pain in my body. The local guide also stayed by my side, offering me words of comfort. Henry took my backpack, which made me feel a bit lighter. I was so exhausted that I could hardly breathe, but I didn’t give up. Finally, we climbed over the mountain. As we reached the top, a sense of achievement washed over me. I looked back at the path we had come through, feeling proud of myself for not giving up. The view from the top was breathtaking. The setting sun painted the sky in warm colors, making it a scene worth the struggle. We walked down the mountain more easily in the gentle light. When we got back to the car, I was tired but filled with joy. This experience taught me that with determination and the support of friends, we can overcome any difficulty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述在一个晴朗的日子，作者和朋友Henry跟随当地导游去看克拉克大马哈鱼，本以为轻松的徒步之旅，返程时却遭遇陡峭山路，作者疲惫不堪。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看到这一幕，Henry让我每次只迈出一小步。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Henry鼓励作者每次只迈一小步，还帮作者背包，导游也陪伴安慰，作者咬牙坚持。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，我们翻过了那座山。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：最终作者翻过山，收获成就感与美景，也懂得决心与朋友支持助力克服困难。 2.续写线索： Henry建议和帮助——导游安慰——坚持行走——成功翻过山——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释： explain/interpret/ illustrate ②专注于： focus on /concentrate on ③忽视：ignore/neglect/overlook 情绪类 ①痛苦： pain/suffering/misery ②快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1]He patiently explained that each small step would bring me closer to the end. （运用了that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2]Step by step, I made my way forward, ignoring the pain in my body. （运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型3] Henry took my backpack, which made me feel a bit lighter. （运用which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 莆田十五中2026-2027学年上学期第一次诊断性检测 高二英语 命题人：高二英语备课组 审核人：高二英语备课组 (满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1．答题前，学生务必在练习卷、答题卡规定的地方填写自己的学校、准考证号、姓名。学生要认真核对答题卡上粘贴的条形码的“准考证号、姓名”与学生本人准考证号、姓名是否一致。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本练习卷上无效。 3．练习结束后，学生必须将练习卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分: 听力(共两节，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

From ancient artifacts to modern art, read on for our guide in Los Angeles. Museum of Latin American Art: Founded in 1996, it is the only museum in the United States devoted to modern and contemporary Latin American art. Since its beginning, it has doubled its size, added a 15,000-square-foot sculpture garden and expanded its permanent collection, ranging from works by Tamayo and Matta to Cruz-Diez, Los Carpinteros and Tunga. Free admission every Sunday. Autry Museum of the American West: Located in Griffith Park, the Autry features world-class galleries filled with Native American art and artifacts, film memorabilia, historic firearms and more.

Free admission on the second Tuesday of every month. Descanso Gardens: Located in La Cañada Flintridge, the 160-acre Descanso Gardens was originally developed in 1936 by Elias Manchester Boddy, whose numerous interests included horticulture and politics. Descanso Gardens offers numerous areas for exploring, including a Japanese tea garden, water-wise garden, Oak Woodland, California Garden, and the world’s largest collection of camellia flowers. Free admission on the third Tuesday of every month. Caltech Museum: Founded in 1979 by members of the Caltech community and the Pasadena Junior League, the museum develops the potential of all kids through kid-driven experiences, inspiring them to become joyful, active learners. Admission to the museum is free on First Fridays. 1. What is special about Museum of Latin American Art? A. It has a very long history. B. It has been continuously enlarged. C.

They collect artworks permanently. D. They offer free admission regularly. B It’s not quite often when we see architects devoted to creating buildings as more than art, expression, or technological creation. Shigeru Ban is one of the most clever architects who knows how to recognize pressing problems and come up with the best solutions for them. Shigeru Ban is a Japanese architect born in Tokyo in 1957, he founded Shigeru Ban Architects in 1985 and has since then expanded branches from Tokvo to New York and Paris. His career has spanned over various architectural fields from commercial spaces to museums, but his disaster relief (救灾) work shines the most. He set a new standard for socially-aware and emergent (紧急的) architecture and paved the way for teaching the whole world how building skills can help in times of crises. His unique method earned him the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2014, where he was honored for his devotion to designing shelters for disaster-stricken areas. He is highly praised for showing how architecture can be a tool for positive social change, particularly in his attention to using materials and attending to social needs. In a 2017 interview, Shigeru Ban was asked about what guided him towards being involved with disaster relief architecture. His replies detailed that there seemed to be a lack of social responsibility among architects in Japan regarding this matter, so he felt the urge to take action. After the Kobe earthquake in 1995, Ban saw the poor living conditions related to evacuation centers and wanted to make a change with architecture. Following this event, he established the Voluntary Architects’ Network (VAN) to provide support to disaster-affected areas worldwide. When asked whether his initiatives were inspired by Japan’s continuous risk for earthquakes and volcano eruptions, he explained that his motivation (动力) comes from a desire to improve living conditions for disaster victims rather than Japan’s geographic risks. He’s a man with a skill for identifying problems and finding solutions. 4. What does the underlined word “expanded” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Organized. B. Enlarged. C. Strengthened. D. Tracked. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The new standard Ban set for architecture. B. The creative use of materials in Ban’s design. C. The achievements of Ban’s disaster relief work. D. The reasons Ban designed shelters for the homeless. 6. What was Ban’s motivation for disaster relief work? A. His skills in dealing with natural disaster. B. His terrible suffering in a natural disaster. C. His concern about Japan’s geographic risks. D. His desire to improve the life of those in need. 7. Which of the following can best describe Shigeru Ban? A. Caring and creative. B. Responsible but impolite. C. Selfless but careless. D. Talented and outgoing. C Western fashion brands (时尚品牌) have a design problem with Chinese characters, or hanzi. They still disappoint Chinese customers with the way they use Chinese writing on their products. The most common mistakes suggest there is not enough research and cultural understanding. For example, a Burberry scarf was embroidered (刺绣) with the Chinese character fu upright instead of upside down, as it’s traditionally shown in China. Even the fonts (字体) are a problem. In May, Dior, one of the world’s leading fashion brands, started a special service for customers to have their Chinese names embroidered on Book Tote handbags. When some Chinese stars carrying the customized handbags were shown on social media, the Chinese fashion community expressed their disappointment. Many believed the font on Dior’s handbags showed little artistic taste and looked cheap. It’s not all disappointment, though. Experimentation and careful research have brought positive results for brands coming close to hanzi. Consider the logo (标志) created for Prada Rong Zhai, an old building repaired and owned by the Prada Group in Shanghai. The Rong Zhai type was created by 2 x4 (a New York-based design studio) by using the Roman letters in the original Prada logo to create the Chinese characters. The result is a unique logo that suggests both lettered strictness and a classic Prada style. The type’s West-meet-East mix won broad admiration among Chinese customers online. One way to keep up to date is to team up with creatives and artists of the country to create designs that can be more acceptable to Chinese customers. Joining forces with local partners can also avoid misunderstandings that happen when a design team doesn't know Chinese culture very well. 8. What were the Chinese fashion community disappointed at？ A. The design’s old-fashion. B. The design’s higher price. C. The design’s common font. D. The design’s ugly brand name. 9. What is special about the logo of Prada Rong Zhai？ A. It brings together Western and Chinese writing. B. It is created to introduce Chinese hanzi culture. C. It was designed by online supporters of the company. D. It invited a famous Chinese star to write the characters. 10. What does the author expect Western designers to do？ A. Try to create more fashionable fonts. B. Show more hanzi in Western culture. C. Find the causes of cultural differences. D. Work together with Chinese designers. 11. What does the text mainly want to tell us？ A. International brands spreading Chinese culture. B. Western fashion's struggle with Chinese writing. C. Western designers' research on Chinese characters. D. The collection between Chinese customers and hanzi. D It’s fun to sing in the car. In a recent study, 64% of drivers said listening to music makes the driving experience better. But 54% of people said driving is less fun if they have to listen to music they don’t like. So what happens when passengers have different musical tastes than the driver does and they want to choose what to play? Many people think passengers should get a say because they also have to listen to whatever is playing. But others say the driver’s preference counts most. What do you think? Should the driver choose the car tunes? Yes - it’s an extra advantage of the job. The driver is taking the passengers where they need to go, so they should have the right to choose the tunes. They shouldn’t have to listen to something they don’t like, especially on long trips. Drivers also know what music helps them stay calm and focused, while passengers could choose music that annoys the driver. Safety isn’t a concern because the driver can set a playlist before they head out. And if the rule is that the driver always decides, there’s less chance of disagreement over what to play. No - it’s not fair or safe. The driver should be fully focused on the road, not thinking about what song to listen to next or scrolling through a playlist. Passengers, however, have their hands free, so it’s safe for them to search for and select the music. Besides, it’s not fair that only the person behind the wheel gets to choose what to listen to. Long car trips can be boring, especially for kids. If they get to pick the music they want to hear, they will have more fun and won’t fight as much. To make things better, passengers can take music requests from the driver and others in the car. That way, everyone gets a chance to share the music they love. 12. Why is it considered “an extra advantage” for the driver to choose the music? A. It makes sure of no disagreements during the trip. B. It gives the driver more rights on the car-environment. C.

My friend Henry and I set off on a short trip with a local as our guide. He said it would be a rather easy two-hour hike to see the Paiute trout (克拉克大马哈鱼) living in its natural living place. We believed what he had said and started out following him. But we later found it was a different story. When we three arrived at the place, Henry and I were worn out. However, we were not too tired to enjoy the excitement when we saw the colorful fish swimming freely there. I stood by the water and Henry took some photos of me with green plants and beautiful flowers. Time passed quickly. Before we knew it, it was getting late. The local guide told us that we could only appreciate the scenery (景色) for a brief while and then we had to go back to our car before dark. We had thought the rest of the hike should be relaxing. But it wasn’t as it was the steepest (最陡峭的) way that we’d faced so far. When we advanced, my huge backpack felt like a ton of stone. Both of my legs were really painful and tears ran out of my eyes.
