二、阅读理解
A
Embroidery(刺绣) is an important traditional art form in Chinese culture. The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou, Shu embroidery from Sichuan, Xiang embroidery from Hunan and Yue embroidery from Guangdong. Shu embroidery has the longest history of all.
Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy hand-made Shu embroidery products. There are also very few young embroiderers. The skill is endangered.
Meng Dezhi, a national-level inheritor(传承人) of the art form, has been making Shu embroidery for forty years. She used to work at the Chengdu Shu Embroidery Factory. But in 2006, the factory went broke and Meng lost her job. Wanting to save the art, Meng wanted to have her own place and teach Shu embroidery to others.
It’s hard work. Embroidery takes time and patience. Workers need to divide each silk thread(线) into more than ten or even thirty pieces. Each piece is thinner than a single human hair. In 2016, Baidu invited Meng to make a homepage logo for Qixi Festival. It was a small logo, but it required the use of 45 types of sewing techniques(针法) and 35,000 stitches(针).
Meng is teaching in different universities and communities to save Shu embroidery. She believes that Shu embroidery stands for thousands of years of Sichuan culture and should be saved. “I feel that I have the responsibility to pass on Shu embroidery skills to young people, to let it run from generation to generation.” She said.
11．How many embroidery styles are mentioned in the passage
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
12．Why are the Shu embroidery skills in danger of dying out
A．Because Shu embroidery has the longest history.
B．Because embroidery takes time and patience.
C．Because the Shu Embroidery Factory went broke.
D．Because there are fewer people buying hand-made Shu embroidery products.
13．What does the underlined word “broke” mean
A．破产 B．损坏 C．违反 D．折断
14．How is Meng trying to save Shu embroidery
A．By making more Shu embroidery products.
B．By making more logos for companies like Baidu.

D．By encouraging young people to learn the skill.
15．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Embroidery needs protecting. B．A traditional art form.
C．A famous embroiderer. D．A hard job.
【答案】11．B 12．D 13．A 14．C 15．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了刺绣的类型和刺绣的特点，以及孟40多年来都在制作蜀绣，之后破产但仍以另一种方式拯救蜀绣。

12．细节理解题。根据“Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy hand-made Shu embroidery products. There are also very few young embroiderers. The skill is endangered.”可知，由于现代机器可以制作更便宜的刺绣产品，越来越少的人购买手工蜀绣产品，年轻的刺绣师也很少，所以这项技能岌岌可危。故选D。

14．细节理解题。根据“Meng is teaching in different universities and communities to save Shu embroidery.”可知，孟正试图通过在不同的大学和社区教蜀绣来挽救这一艺术。故选C。

Li Mei loves wearing embroidered (刺绣的) clothes. She is talking with her grandma now.
Li Mei: Has your mother or grandmother ever made embroidered clothes for you

Li Mei: I know that Shu embroidery comes from Sichuan.
Grandma: Yes. It is said that Shu embroidery is the oldest kind of embroidery in China. People began to make it during the Han Dynasty (朝代). They sold it to other countries such as ancient Rome. Shu embroidery takes time. It might take as long as a whole day to finish just 10 cm. Embroidery workers need to divide each silk thread (丝线) into more than 10 or even 30 smaller threads. Each smaller thread is thinner than a human hair.
Li Mei: Oh, it’s unbelievable. Do we have inheritors (传承人)
Grandma: Of course. Meng Dezhi, a national-level inheritor of this skill, has been making Shu embroidery for 40 years. She loves this form of art and wants more people to try it, so she gives lessons in universities.

【导语】本文主要介绍了中国最古老的刺绣——蜀绣。
16．细节理解题。根据“In the past, Chinese people often embroidered on hats, shoes and dresses to show the beauty of nature or the best wishes to others.”（过去，中国人经常在帽子、鞋子和衣服上刺绣，以表达自然之美或对他人的美好祝愿。）可知古代中国人在衣服上刺绣，是为了展现自然之美。故选D。
17．细节理解题。根据“It is said that Shu embroidery is the oldest kind of embroidery in China.”（据说蜀绣是中国最古老的刺绣。）可知蜀绣是中国最古老的刺绣。故选B。
18．推理判断题。根据“Meng Dezhi, a national-level inheritor of this skill, has been making Shu embroidery for 40 years. She loves this form of art and wants more people to try it, so she gives lessons in universities. She said, ‘Although the work is hard, Shu embroidery stands for thousands of years of Sichuan culture. It is a symbol of Chinese culture as well.’”（孟德芝是国家级蜀绣传承人，从事蜀绣已有40年历史。她喜欢这种艺术形式，希望更多的人尝试，所以她在大学里上课。她说： “虽然工作很辛苦，但蜀绣代表了数千年的四川文化。它也是中国文化的象征。”）可知孟德芝希望更多人尝试蜀绣，因为蜀绣是中国文化的象征。故选C。

Known as the birthplace of kites, Weifang in Shandong province has a long history of making kites. 2,000 years ago, kites were often used by the military (军事). In Ming Dynasty, kites started to be popular among ordinary people as entertainment. Made from bamboo and featuring traditional Chinese paintings, Weifang kite-making was included in the national-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) lists in 2006. Initiated in 1984, the International Kite Festival has been held in Weifang every year.
Yang Hongwei, 56, is an inheritor (传承人) of the Weifang kite-making skill. Born into a kite-making family, Yang often saw kites with bright colors and different shapes in her grandfather’s workshop. When she was six, she started to learn the skills from her grandfather. After practicing it for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.
“Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites,” Yang said. “But I think the culture behind our kites is unique (独特的).” On Yang’s kites, people can see not only common shapes like butterflies, but also some paintings telling Chinese stories. For example, she once made a kite showing a phoenix head lined with pictures of 50 famous Chinese women on each side. The idea was very cool. Yang said that each woman has different characteristics in look, clothes and makeup style. To create their pictures, she spent much time checking historical records. “It takes much time,” Yang added, “but when I explain the stories on the kites to foreign customers, I feel really proud.”
In her spare time, she also travels to different countries like Germany, Australia, and the US to tell people about Chinese stories seen on kites and the traditional ways of making kites.
“I’m an inheritor of the culture. It is also an important job of mine to spread the heritage around the world and onto the next generation,” she said.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Dear students and teachers,
Today I’m going to talk about the protection of ancient trees.
This is an ancient tree with a history of more than 300 years. After many vicissitudes, part of its trunk has withered. There are two reasons. On the one hand, this ancient tree is old. It is susceptible to the weather. It is easy to get sick. On the other hand, due to human activities, such as human migration, logging, etc. Ancient trees are of great significance. It is an important natural resource and a symbol of history and culture.
I think we should protect it now. First, water reasonably to keep the soil moist. Second, carry out the prevention and control of diseases and pests of ancient trees. Third, strengthen publicity and education to raise the awareness of the whole people to protect. Finally, I hope all of us can take action to protect ancient trees.

Li Mei loves wearing embroidered (刺绣的) clothes. She is talking with her grandma now.

Each smaller thread is thinner than a human hair.

Known as the birthplace of kites, Weifang in Shandong province has a long history of making kites. 2,000 years ago, kites were often used by the military (军事). In Ming Dynasty, kites started to be popular among ordinary people as entertainment. Made from bamboo and featuring traditional Chinese paintings, Weifang kite-making was included in the national-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) lists in 2006. Initiated in 1984, the International Kite Festival has been held in Weifang every year.
Yang Hongwei, 56, is an inheritor (传承人) of the Weifang kite-making skill. Born into a kite-making family, Yang often saw kites with bright colors and different shapes in her grandfather’s workshop. When she was six, she started to learn the skills from her grandfather. After practicing it for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.
“Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites,” Yang said. “But I think the culture behind our kites is unique (独特的).” On Yang’s kites, people can see not only common shapes like butterflies, but also some paintings telling Chinese stories. For example, she once made a kite showing a phoenix head lined with pictures of 50 famous Chinese women on each side. The idea was very cool. Yang said that each woman has different characteristics in look, clothes and makeup style. To create their pictures, she spent much time checking historical records. “It takes much time,” Yang added, “but when I explain the stories on the kites to foreign customers, I feel really proud.”
In her spare time, she also travels to different countries like Germany, Australia, and the US to tell people about Chinese stories seen on kites and the traditional ways of making kites.
“I’m an inheritor of the culture. It is also an important job of mine to spread the heritage around the world and onto the next generation,” she said.
