（3）阅读理解-历史文化类——2023年高考英语真题模拟试题专项汇编
一、【2023年新高考全国II卷】
If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity's later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can't. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook's voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain's record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. How past events should be presented. B. What humanity is concerned about.
C. Whether facts speak louder than words. D. Why written language is reliable.
2.What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2
A. His report was scientific. B. He represented the local people.
C. He ruled over Botany Bay. D. His record was one-sided.
3.What does the underlined word "conversation" in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Problem. B. History. C. Voice. D. Society.
4.Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from
A. How Maps Tell Stories of the World B. A Short History of Australia
C. A History of the World in 100 Objects D. How Art Works Tell Stories

I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy（哲学）.
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you—and then try to explain them.
Eric Weiner's The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to t think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the context（背景）of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder I like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.
He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding（解读）their messages and adding his own interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It's worth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of.
5.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author
A. Foucault. B. Eric Weiner.
C. Jostein Gaarder D. A college teacher.
6.Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4
A. To compare Weiner with them.
B. To give examples of great works.
C. To praise their writing skills.
D. To help readers understand Weiner's book.
7.What does the author like about The Socrates Express
A. Its views on history are well-presented.
B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C. It includes comments from readers.
D. It leaves an open ending.
8.What does the author think of Weiner's book
A. Objective and plain. B. Daring and ambitious.
C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Humorous and straightforward

Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object-the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this "book of books," artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed(描绘)alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect(才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks-transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, "off-line" activity.
9.Where is the text most probably taken from
A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on the art of writing.
C. A guidebook to a museum. D. A review of modern paintings.
10.What are the selected artworks about
A. Wealth and intellect. B. Home and school.
C. Books and reading. D. Work and leisure.
11.What do the underlined words "relate to" in paragraph 2 mean
A. Understand. B. Paint. C. Seize. D. Transform.
12.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader
A. The printed book is not totally out of date. B. Technology has changed the way we read.
C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked. D. People now rarely have the patience to read.

Architects have long turned to the past for inspiration. In this age of concrete and steel, however, they're more likely to look for aesthetic(美学的) influence than technical know-how.But an ancient Chinese construction technique called dougong is a remarkable exception.
Consisting of a series of wooden brackets（支架）with no nails or fasteners,it500 years old and commonly found in Chinese architecture, such as the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many structures built during the Tang and Song dynasties featured "curtain walls" which were non-load- bearing. As a result, the unsupported wood shouldering the weight might break. Designers needed a technique which would more regularly spread the burden across their structures. Their solution was dougong.
Engineering has come a long way since the ancient Chinese building technique was fashion .But there's a timeless quality to it. Modem designers in many areas are adopting it to produce amazing and stable work of architecture. Among them is Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who used dougong-inspired methods for his recent buildings: Yusuhara Wooden Bridge Museum and Café Kureon, a2, 120-square-foot restaurant
For architect Terrence Curry, the attraction of using ancient methods is about finding something that can" speak to Chinese identity ".His structure Dougong Cube(立方),now part of the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University in Beijing, was constructed using classical-style brackets and over2, 000boards. "It has fundamental structure of dougong, but we just aren't using it in the way it was intended to be used. We're really pulling it out-emphasizing its beauty and complexity, and the way it works, "said Curry, "The shape and function of dougong is directly related to properties of wood, and the ability of people who make these buildings. In this way, there's little need for decoration because the structure and design give it its distinctive look." the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University in Beijing, was constructed using classical-style brackets and over2, 000boards.

Anthony Doerr's new bestseller, All the Light We Cannot See, holds special appeal for me. That's how I would describe it. From the poetic language, to the realization of what the tile actually means: that underneath the surface of history, there is light that has not been seen, and stories that have gone untold.
I'm going to be honest-love for this book didn't hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt to read it last month ended with me putting it aside and going to find something easier, lighter and less descriptive to read. But this book is built on beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense—the physical world of 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphorical(隐喻性的) sense—scientific and philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and the differences between the two. It's a beautiful work of genius, but it does get a little complicated at times.
However, when we get into the meat of this World War II novel, it's also an upsetting story of a childhood torn apart by war. It's about Parisian Marie Laure who has been blind since she was six, and a German orphan called Werner who finds himself at the center of the Hitler Youth. Both of their stories are told with sensitivity and sympathy, each one forced down a path by their personal circumstances and by that destructive monster-war.
I think this is the kind of book you will never appreciate if you stop too soon-I learned that lesson. From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel (平行的) to one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way. These two lives we are introduced to seem to be worlds apart, and yet they come together and influence one another. It was this, more than the predictably awful tale of war, that made me feel quite emotional.
17.What does the writer think of the book
A. Light and easy to read. B. Rich in philosophical ideas.
C. Fascinating but too descriptive. D. Too complicated for its theme.
18.What can we learn about Marie Laure and Werner
A. The war leads to their sensitivity.
B. They know each other at an early age.
C. The Hitler Youth pushes them to grow.
D. They both have a miserable childhood.
19.What particularly stirred the writer's emotions
A. The book's dramatic ending. B. The book's beautiful imagery.
C. The characters' interconnected destiny. D. The suffering brought by World War II.
20.What is the purpose of this text
A. To share the writer's feelings of a book.
B. To recommend a delightful bestseller.
C. To tell readers a heartbreaking story.
D. To analyze the structure of a book.

What's the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw 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 eye-catching functional artworks.
Straw weaving if a method of making daily items or artworks by braiding straw. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. The earliest straw-woven products were unearthed at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic(新石器的) cultural site located in Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were mats made of cattail grass(香蒲) during the Zhou Dynasty.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving: you need to select the materials first, and then sketch the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes the weaving, shaping and finally the preserving of the work. Even by sticking to 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 and solid.
Wu-recalls that, when she was a child, 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. "Due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which provide low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in-the work across the country," she notes.
From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people's needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. "For straw weaving to blossom, craftspeople should make joint efforts 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 longs to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by making full use of the straw weaving technique.
21.What do we know about straw weaving according to the text
A. Straw weaving is a way to make priceless items or artworks.
B. One of Mencius' works documents the history of straw weaving.
C. It has been a Chinese intangible cultural heritage for over ten years.
D. The earliest straw weaving products were found at Banpo Cultural Ruins.
22.Which of the following is part of the process of straw weaving
A. Shaping the straw before weaving it.
B. Drawing the work on paper
C. Using a special machine to process the material.
D. Drying the fresh wheat.
23.What can be inferred from Wu's words
A.Chasing profits is the main purpose for craftsmen.
B.Straw weaving artworks can neglect people's demands.
C. Straw weaving skills should keep pace with the times.
D. Straw weaving has gained in popularity over recent years.
24.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A.Health. B. Culture. C.Education. D.Business.

In 1879, an 8-year-old girl made a discovery that would rock our understanding of human history. On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black. More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans 'supposedly primitive ancestors. Today, nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils(模板),strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists.
The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modem humans arrived in the region some 40,000 years ago, as part of a "cultural explosion" reflecting a flowering of the human mind. But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water. For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What's more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity.
Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, contain many painted images. Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert, now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art. Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time.
This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork. "When we found that image, we were absolutely delighted, but when it turned out to be that old, we were almost jumping with joy," says Adam Brumm, also at Griffith University.
32.What did the girl find in the cave
A. Wild animals. B. Ancient images.
C. Painting techniques. D. Recording artists.
33.What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art
A. It can be traced back to Europe.
B. It reflected the flowering of human minds.
C. Modern humans led to its rise in Indonesia.
D. Modern humana might not have been real artists.
34.What does the underlined word" upended" mean in paragraph 3
A. Proved. B. Strengthened. C. Overtumed. D. Overemphasized.
35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The amazing discoveries. B. The researchers' expectations.
C. The benefits of the technique. D. The description of the cave art.

Unique Chinese Cultural Heritages
The Old Grand Canal
The 2,500-year-old Grand Canal-the world's longest man-made waterway, half of which is used even today-made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014. It links several major rivers across the country, including the Yangtze, Huaihe and Yellow, and runs through the cities of Beijing and Tianjin, besides the provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The Forbidden City
The birth of the Forbidden City, China's imperial palace of the Ming (1368—1644) and Qing(1644—1911) dynasties in Beijing, is closely linked to the Grand Canal. The waterway promoted transport of materials for construction of the palace complex and helped transport workers.
Peking Opera
Peking Opera is a great form of the Chinese art of entertainment. It was formed in Beijing under the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911) by taking in characters of Huiju, Kunqu and Qinqiang operas. It gathers singing, acting, gymnastics and wushu arts, and was listed as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2010.
New Year Painting
Lunar(阴历的) New Year woodblock painting was a popular folk(民间的) art in areas along the grand waterway. These paintings are bright and lively, and mainly use the color red, which is considered to suit both festivals and happy events. Patterns are closely related to the life and livelihood of Chinese people. Paintings from Tianjin, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces are the most popular.
Yunjin
Yunjin, or cloud brocade(锦缎), is a unique silk craft native to Nanjing city in Jiangsu province. It is famous for its splendid patterns and gentle feel, which make it more valuable than gold.

If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity's later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can't. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook's voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain's record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. How past events should be presented. B. What humanity is concerned about.
C. Whether facts speak louder than words. D. Why written language is reliable.
2.What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2
A. His report was scientific. B. He represented the local people.
C. He ruled over Botany Bay. D. His record was one-sided.
3.What does the underlined word "conversation" in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Problem. B. History. C. Voice. D. Society.
4.Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from
A. How Maps Tell Stories of the World B. A Short History of Australia
C. A History of the World in 100 Objects D. How Art Works Tell Stories

I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy（哲学）.
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you—and then try to explain them.
Eric Weiner's The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to t think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the context（背景）of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder I like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.
He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding（解读）their messages and adding his own interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It's worth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of.
5.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author
A. Foucault. B. Eric Weiner.
C. Jostein Gaarder D. A college teacher.
6.Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4
A. To compare Weiner with them.
B. To give examples of great works.
C. To praise their writing skills.
D. To help readers understand Weiner's book.
7.What does the author like about The Socrates Express
A. Its views on history are well-presented.
B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C. It includes comments from readers.
D. It leaves an open ending.
8.What does the author think of Weiner's book
A. Objective and plain. B. Daring and ambitious.
C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Humorous and straightforward
三、【2023年新高考全国II卷】
Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object-the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this "book of books," artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed(描绘)alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect(才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks-transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, "off-line" activity.
9.Where is the text most probably taken from
A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on the art of writing.
C. A guidebook to a museum. D. A review of modern paintings.
10.What are the selected artworks about
A. Wealth and intellect. B. Home and school.
C. Books and reading. D. Work and leisure.
11.What do the underlined words "relate to" in paragraph 2 mean
A. Understand. B. Paint. C. Seize. D. Transform.
12.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader
A. The printed book is not totally out of date. B. Technology has changed the way we read.
C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked. D. People now rarely have the patience to read.

Architects have long turned to the past for inspiration. In this age of concrete and steel, however, they're more likely to look for aesthetic(美学的) influence than technical know-how.But an ancient Chinese construction technique called dougong is a remarkable exception.
Consisting of a series of wooden brackets（支架）with no nails or fasteners,it500 years old and commonly found in Chinese architecture, such as the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many structures built during the Tang and Song dynasties featured "curtain walls" which were non-load- bearing. As a result, the unsupported wood shouldering the weight might break. Designers needed a technique which would more regularly spread the burden across their structures. Their solution was dougong.
Engineering has come a long way since the ancient Chinese building technique was fashion .But there's a timeless quality to it. Modem designers in many areas are adopting it to produce amazing and stable work of architecture. Among them is Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who used dougong-inspired methods for his recent buildings: Yusuhara Wooden Bridge Museum and Café Kureon, a2, 120-square-foot restaurant
For architect Terrence Curry, the attraction of using ancient methods is about finding something that can" speak to Chinese identity ".His structure Dougong Cube(立方),now part of the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University in Beijing, was constructed using classical-style brackets and over2, 000boards. "It has fundamental structure of dougong, but we just aren't using it in the way it was intended to be used. We're really pulling it out-emphasizing its beauty and complexity, and the way it works, "said Curry, "The shape and function of dougong is directly related to properties of wood, and the ability of people who make these buildings. In this way, there's little need for decoration because the structure and design give it its distinctive look." the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University in Beijing, was constructed using classical-style brackets and over2, 000boards.

Anthony Doerr's new bestseller, All the Light We Cannot See, holds special appeal for me. That's how I would describe it. From the poetic language, to the realization of what the tile actually means: that underneath the surface of history, there is light that has not been seen, and stories that have gone untold.
I'm going to be honest-love for this book didn't hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt to read it last month ended with me putting it aside and going to find something easier, lighter and less descriptive to read. But this book is built on beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense—the physical world of 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphorical(隐喻性的) sense—scientific and philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and the differences between the two. It's a beautiful work of genius, but it does get a little complicated at times.
However, when we get into the meat of this World War II novel, it's also an upsetting story of a childhood torn apart by war. It's about Parisian Marie Laure who has been blind since she was six, and a German orphan called Werner who finds himself at the center of the Hitler Youth. Both of their stories are told with sensitivity and sympathy, each one forced down a path by their personal circumstances and by that destructive monster-war.
I think this is the kind of book you will never appreciate if you stop too soon-I learned that lesson. From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel (平行的) to one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way. These two lives we are introduced to seem to be worlds apart, and yet they come together and influence one another. It was this, more than the predictably awful tale of war, that made me feel quite emotional.
17.What does the writer think of the book
A. Light and easy to read. B. Rich in philosophical ideas.
C. Fascinating but too descriptive. D. Too complicated for its theme.
18.What can we learn about Marie Laure and Werner
A. The war leads to their sensitivity.
B. They know each other at an early age.
C. The Hitler Youth pushes them to grow.
D. They both have a miserable childhood.
19.What particularly stirred the writer's emotions
A. The book's dramatic ending. B. The book's beautiful imagery.
C. The characters' interconnected destiny. D. The suffering brought by World War II.

What's the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw 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 eye-catching functional artworks.
Straw weaving if a method of making daily items or artworks by braiding straw. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. The earliest straw-woven products were unearthed at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic(新石器的) cultural site located in Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were mats made of cattail grass(香蒲) during the Zhou Dynasty.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving: you need to select the materials first, and then sketch the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes the weaving, shaping and finally the preserving of the work. Even by sticking to 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 and solid.
Wu-recalls that, when she was a child, 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. "Due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which provide low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in-the work across the country," she notes.
From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people's needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. "For straw weaving to blossom, craftspeople should make joint efforts 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 longs to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by making full use of the straw weaving technique.
21.What do we know about straw weaving according to the text
A. Straw weaving is a way to make priceless items or artworks.
B. One of Mencius' works documents the history of straw weaving.
C. It has been a Chinese intangible cultural heritage for over ten years.
D. The earliest straw weaving products were found at Banpo Cultural Ruins.
22.Which of the following is part of the process of straw weaving
A. Shaping the straw before weaving it.
B. Drawing the work on paper
C. Using a special machine to process the material.
D. Drying the fresh wheat.
23.What can be inferred from Wu's words
A.Chasing profits is the main purpose for craftsmen.
B.Straw weaving artworks can neglect people's demands.
C. Straw weaving skills should keep pace with the times.
D. Straw weaving has gained in popularity over recent years.
24.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear

In 1879, an 8-year-old girl made a discovery that would rock our understanding of human history. On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black. More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans 'supposedly primitive ancestors. Today, nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils(模板),strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists.
The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modem humans arrived in the region some 40,000 years ago, as part of a "cultural explosion" reflecting a flowering of the human mind. But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water. For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What's more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity.
Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, contain many painted images. Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert, now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art. Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time.
This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork. "When we found that image, we were absolutely delighted, but when it turned out to be that old, we were almost jumping with joy," says Adam Brumm, also at Griffith University.
32.What did the girl find in the cave
A. Wild animals. B. Ancient images.
C. Painting techniques. D. Recording artists.
33.What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art
A. It can be traced back to Europe.
B. It reflected the flowering of human minds.
C. Modern humans led to its rise in Indonesia.
D. Modern humana might not have been real artists.
34.What does the underlined word" upended" mean in paragraph 3
A. Proved. B. Strengthened. C. Overtumed. D. Overemphasized.
35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The amazing discoveries. B. The researchers' expectations.
C. The benefits of the technique. D. The description of the cave art.
