What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw (麦杆)? Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks.
The earliest straw-weaving (草编的) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC).
Straw weaving is a method of manufacturing daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch (素描) the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.
In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which yield low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive,” Wu says.
From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving products?
A. Their major uses. B. Their cultural value. C. Their historic origins. D. Their manufacturing process.
9. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui?
A. Making the artworks vivid. B. Drawing sketches on paper.
C. Selecting suitable materials. D. Preserving finished products.
10. What does the underlined word “transcend” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Rely on. B. Turn to. C. Cast away. D. Go beyond.
11. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraph?
A. Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers.
B. Pursuing fashion should be the first priority for craftspeople.
C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw-weaving techniques.
D. Craftsmen should innovate the craft based on traditional culture.

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。
There’s nothing like family. The people we’re related to by blood and marriage are expected to be our greatest sources of love and support. Too often, however, our interactions with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Those we should know and be known by best, end up feeling like adversaries or strangers.
Family is where our first and strongest emotional memories are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. ____16____ The suggestions offered below are transformed from familiar reasonable advice, to highly effective methods for bringing your family ever closer.
Look to yourself first. A family is a system made up of interdependent individuals, but that doesn’t mean you can blame your family of origin for the way you are today ____17____ When you act on the belief that you have a right and obligation to assert your own emotional needs, your family will notice that your emotional independence benefits not only you, but the whole family, and they may quickly follow your lead.
Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones. Sometimes family ties blind us to the uniqueness of those we love. Pride in the family continuum can make it easy to forget that. You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. ____18____
Cherish every stage of life in each family member. No matter how well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mom and Dad to stay the way they are, and for the kids to stay home forever. ____19____ Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities. What can you and your parents share now that wasn’t possible in the past? Can you keep having fun and make sure everyone still feels useful and worthy in the family support system?
____20____ Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past. Maybe your parents are just waiting for your cue. Feel them out. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just one of the many opportunities you have to enrich one another.
A. Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health.
B. You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps.
C. It’s also important to keep your awareness active with family.
D. The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change.
E. People all change, and yet many seem to only see change in themselves.
F. If you’re not sure what will work, ask.
G. Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs.
三、完形填空(每小题1分,满分15分)
When Helena was preparing for applying to business school, one thing terrified her: the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Overwhelmed by stress, Helena reached out to her sister, Emilia, for ____21____.

Sienna Powell was a 16-year-old girl raised by a single mother. Through the years, Sienna tried her best not to burden her mother. She rarely asked for anything besides what she truly needed and even took part-time jobs to help pay the bills.
Every time she received a paycheck from her part-time job, she would save a part of it for one thing she had always dreamt about since she became a senior high student—her prom (毕业舞会)night.
As she walked home from school every day, Sienna would pass by a clothes store. She had set her mind to get her dream prom dress from the store and even had drawings of the dress posted on her bedroom wall to motivate her to work hard. The dress Sienna wanted was worth $1500.
Sienna would often talk about the dress to her classmate Emily. Emily and Sienna found common ground when they discovered their fathers had left their mothers when they were younger. They related to one another a lot and, since then, have been inseparable. Sienna often went to Emily’s house to do homework together, and Emily’s mother was very kind to her, cooking nice food for them although they were not rich.
The morning before the senior prom, Sienna was able to save up enough money to buy the dress finally. Sienna and Emily decided to meet at the school gate to buy the dress together.
Sienna was about to leave for school when Emily suddenly called her, crying, “I’m so sorry, Sienna, I know you’ve been looking forward to the prom, but I can’t make it today. My mom was just rushed to the hospital, and I was told she has a couple of days left before she needs to go through surgery. But I’m still $1500 short of her surgery. I have no idea what to do.”
Sienna was in front of the mirror when she answered the call, and she had just imagined herself wearing the dress. Then, quickly, her focus shifted towards Emily, who was still crying on the other end of the line. “Don’t worry, Emily, we’ll figure out how to get money for your mom’s surgery, alright? Stay strong for her,” she assured Emily.
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。
After hanging up the phone, Sienna was lost in thought.

【导语】本文主要介绍了苏珊·安东尼在早期为女性争取财产、教育及投票权而奋斗,是美国女权运动的重要先驱。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote. (那时,女性几乎没有权利。她们不能拥有财产。已婚女性挣的钱归丈夫所有。有关孩子的重要决定由父亲做出。女性不能投票。)”可知,苏珊出生时,美国女性权利很少,社会地位低下。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings. (然后她开始组织妇女团体,推动对女性重要的事业。她帮助女性获得更好的教育权。她帮助已婚女性拥有自己的收入。)”可知,本段主要讲述了Susan为争取妇女各项权利和事业所做出的努力和斗争。

词句猜测题。根据第四段“After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming’s decision. (经过苏珊和其他女性多年的演讲、写作和呼吁,美国一些地区修改了法律,赋予女性投票权。第一个州是1869年的怀俄明州。其他地区和州逐渐效仿怀俄明州的decision。)”可知,怀俄明州做出的“决定”正是前文提到的“赋予女性投票权”,随后其他地区和州也效仿了这一做法。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Susan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women’s rights long before it became a popular issue. (苏珊·布朗内尔·安东尼是一位超越时代的女士。早在女权成为热门议题之前,她就在为女性权利奋斗。)”以及全文内容可知,文章讲述苏珊·安东尼一生中为争取妇女教育权、财产权以及投票权所做出的杰出贡献。因此,“争取妇女权利的先驱”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为最佳标题。

What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw (麦杆)? Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks.
The earliest straw-weaving (草编的) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC).
Straw weaving is a method of manufacturing daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch (素描) the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.
In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which yield low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive,” Wu says.
From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving products?
A. Their major uses. B. Their cultural value. C. Their historic origins. D. Their manufacturing process.
9. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui?
A. Making the artworks vivid. B. Drawing sketches on paper.
C. Selecting suitable materials. D. Preserving finished products.
10. What does the underlined word “transcend” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Rely on. B. Turn to. C. Cast away. D. Go beyond.
11. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraph?
A. Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers.
B. Pursuing fashion should be the first priority for craftspeople.
C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw-weaving techniques.
D. Craftsmen should innovate the craft based on traditional culture.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麦秆编织的历史、工艺及传承创新。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The earliest straw-weaving (草编的) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC). (最早的草编制品是在中国东部浙江省的新石器时代文化遗址河姆渡文化遗址中发现的。儒家经典著作之一的《礼记》也记载,在周朝(约公元前11世纪至公元前256年),就已经有蒲草编成的席子以及专业的草编工匠了)”可知,第二段主要介绍了草编制品的历史起源。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike. (即使完成了这个过程,也不意味着你总是能创作出一件好的作品,而最难的部分是让它栩栩如生)”可知,对于草编工匠来说,最难的部分是让作品栩栩如生。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive (世界已经改变了,工匠们需要transcend实用性,追求麦秆文化的美丽和艺术性,以帮助这门手艺生存和繁荣)”可知,此处指工匠们需要追求麦秆文化的美丽和艺术性,超越实用性。故transcend意思是“超越”。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. (在她看来,草编应该回应人们的需求和喜好,同时仍然从传统文化中汲取灵感。“工匠们应该努力把握时代的趋势和机遇,创造出新颖且相关的产品,”她说。)”可知,工匠们应该在传统文化的基础上创新这门手艺。故选D。

There’s nothing like family. The people we’re related to by blood and marriage are expected to be our greatest sources of love and support. Too often, however, our interactions with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Those we should know and be known by best, end up feeling like adversaries or strangers.
Family is where our first and strongest emotional memories are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. ____16____ The suggestions offered below are transformed from familiar reasonable advice, to highly effective methods for bringing your family ever closer.
Look to yourself first. A family is a system made up of interdependent individuals, but that doesn’t mean you can blame your family of origin for the way you are today ____17____ When you act on the belief that you have a right and obligation to assert your own emotional needs, your family will notice that your emotional independence benefits not only you, but the whole family, and they may quickly follow your lead.
Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones. Sometimes family ties blind us to the uniqueness of those we love. Pride in the family continuum can make it easy to forget that. You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. ____18____
Cherish every stage of life in each family member. No matter how well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mom and Dad to stay the way they are, and for the kids to stay home forever. ____19____ Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities. What can you and your parents share now that wasn’t possible in the past? Can you keep having fun and make sure everyone still feels useful and worthy in the family support system?
____20____ Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past. Maybe your parents are just waiting for your cue. Feel them out. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just one of the many opportunities you have to enrich one another.
A. Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health.
B. You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps.
C. It’s also important to keep your awareness active with family.
D. The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change.
E. People all change, and yet many seem to only see change in themselves.
F. If you’re not sure what will work, ask.
G. Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何提高家庭和谐的重要性,以及如何通过情商来实现这一目标。
【16题详解】
根据前文“And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. (这就是为什么情商(EQ)能成功,而其他家庭和谐的努力却失败了。)”可知,此处强调的是情商能够有助于家庭和谐。后文应该对此进行解释。G选项“Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs.(积极的意识和同理心告诉我们如何回应彼此的需求。)”中的“积极的意识和同理心”能够告诉我们如何回应家庭成员的需求,其属于EQ的具体体现,因此EQ能够有助于家庭和谐,与前文呼应。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Look to yourself first. (先看看你自己)”可知,此处强调的是从自己着手,不要把今天自己的样子归咎于原生家庭。A选项“Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health.(解决家庭问题的最大希望是关注自己的情绪健康。)”中“关注自己的情绪健康”与前文呼应,即关注自己的情绪问题是能够解决家庭问题的最大希望。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据本段段旨“Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones.(认识到亲密并不意味着克隆人。)”以及“You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. (即使你和你的兄弟姐妹长得很像,你也不能指望拥有和他们一样的才能。)”可知,虽然与兄弟姐妹有着亲密的关系,但不意味着你们是一样的。B选项“You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps.( 你并不一定会选择追随父母的脚步。)”承接前文指出,虽然家人们是亲密的,但是不一定会有着同样的才能,也不一定会选择追随亲人的脚步,故B选项符合语境。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据后文“ Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities.(接受父母变老带来的自然恐惧,但运用你的情感意识和同理心,想想如何珍惜这一刻,因为它的独特品质。)”可知要学会接受父母变老带来的自然恐惧,运用情感意识和同理心珍惜当下的一刻。D选项“The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change.(从情感上接受这个事实的最好方式,就是拥抱改变。)”引起下文,指出最好的方式就是要接受改变,与下文的“ Accept the natural fear”形成呼应,符合语境。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past.(充分接受自己对变化的恐惧可能会让你更容易提出过去可能认为尴尬的问题。)”可知,此处强调接受变化的恐惧,能够让自己更能大胆地提出问题即强调大胆的提出问题,确定到底何种方式起作用。F选项“If you’re not sure what will work, ask.(如果你不确定什么会起作用,那就去问。)”与下文呼应,指出如果遇到不确定什么起作用则大胆询问,符合语境。故选F。

考查定语从句。句意:这位41岁的女匠人如今拥有一个木作品牌,该品牌的宗旨是让传统中式家具回归当代生活,成为人们日常使用的静谧陪伴,凭借其中蕴含的哲学内涵滋养人心。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,先行词为a woodworking brand,与空后名词aim为所属关系,用关系代词whose。故填whose。

【点睛】【高分句型1】To make the young generation have a better appreciation of the splendid traditional festivals and enhance the national sense of pride, our school is going to organize a speech contest entitled “My favorite traditional festival.” (运用了动词不定式做目的状语,置于句首;“entitled ‘My favorite traditional festival’ ”为过去分词短语做后置定语)
【高分句型2】There are some important points each contestant should be aware of. (运用了省略关系代词的定语从句“each contestant should be aware of”,其先行词为points,关系代词在从句中作宾语)
【高分句型3】We do hope all the students will present your special understanding of the festival and carry forward the traditional culture. (句子使用了“do”强调谓语的句式,且运用了省略连接词的宾语从句“all the students will present your special understanding of the festival and carry forward the traditional culture”,作动词hope的宾语)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sienna Powell was a 16-year-old girl raised by a single mother. Through the years, Sienna tried her best not to burden her mother. She rarely asked for anything besides what she truly needed and even took part-time jobs to help pay the bills.
Every time she received a paycheck from her part-time job, she would save a part of it for one thing she had always dreamt about since she became a senior high student—her prom (毕业舞会)night.
As she walked home from school every day, Sienna would pass by a clothes store. She had set her mind to get her dream prom dress from the store and even had drawings of the dress posted on her bedroom wall to motivate her to work hard. The dress Sienna wanted was worth $1500.
Sienna would often talk about the dress to her classmate Emily. Emily and Sienna found common ground when they discovered their fathers had left their mothers when they were younger. They related to one another a lot and, since then, have been inseparable. Sienna often went to Emily’s house to do homework together, and Emily’s mother was very kind to her, cooking nice food for them although they were not rich.
The morning before the senior prom, Sienna was able to save up enough money to buy the dress finally. Sienna and Emily decided to meet at the school gate to buy the dress together.
Sienna was about to leave for school when Emily suddenly called her, crying, “I’m so sorry, Sienna, I know you’ve been looking forward to the prom, but I can’t make it today. My mom was just rushed to the hospital, and I was told she has a couple of days left before she needs to go through surgery. But I’m still $1500 short of her surgery. I have no idea what to do.”
Sienna was in front of the mirror when she answered the call, and she had just imagined herself wearing the dress. Then, quickly, her focus shifted towards Emily, who was still crying on the other end of the line. “Don’t worry, Emily, we’ll figure out how to get money for your mom’s surgery, alright? Stay strong for her,” she assured Emily.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 After hanging up the phone, Sienna was lost in thought. She remembered that Emily and her mom were always nice to her. At the moment, Emily needed her support although it meant she would miss the prom and the dress she had been dreaming of. But life is more important than anything. Finally, Sienna rushed to be by Emily’s side at the hospital. She gave all her money to Emily so that she could contribute to her mom’s treatment. They stayed there for two days until Emily’s mom picked up.
Emily and her mom were very grateful to Sienna. But they felt terrible that they had nothing to offer her in return. Sienna assured them that they didn’t need to pay her back. She told them, “You and Emily have been nothing but kind to me. We’re family, and families help each other out during difficult times.” After the surgery, Emily’s mom was able to make a full recovery.
