When Xiong Chuanfa, 34, blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, thinking he is a magician.
Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines（吹糖人） for twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a Chinese traditional folk art with a history of over 600 years and has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）.
Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to star this magic show.
He heats the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes—a rabbit, a monkey, and even Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
However busy he is, he often spares time to drop by colleges to make young people know more about the folk art. Many college students have been drawn（吸引） to the art. Simon, a foreign student, he found it difficult to make it. Thanks to Xiong’s help, Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.
Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I just can’t believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread around the world,” he said.
This art has been passed down for four generations （代） in Xiong’s family. His 6-year-old son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child.
“We will pass on the intangible heritage,” said Xiong.

It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, some clothing companies are already making such clothes.
Fashion（时尚）brand JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing items from the collection, including jumpsuits, shirts and dresses, were made from recycled plastic bottles.
“We realized that billions of water bottles were being thrown into landfills and oceans every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose （分解）. We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment,” said Alia Juma.
Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted（融化）and shaped into small balls. The balls are melted again to form thread（线）. People can use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.
According to Juma, it takes 67, 000 bottles to create one ton of thread. This cuts down carbon emission（碳排放）.
“Three bottles can make one glove. Five can make a skirt, ten a dress, and twenty a short coat.”
Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But according to Causeartist, a website that focuses on innovation（创新）, clothes made from plastics could even be better than nylon and polyester（涤纶）. Plastic thread can be made into different textures（质地）, such as cotton, silk, or even wool. It seem that this innovation may lead to a greener future of fashion.
12. The underlined word “landfills” probably mean “________” in Chinese.
A. 填埋池 B. 游乐场 C. 栖息地 D. 风景区
13. Why does JUMA make clothes out of plastic bottles
A. To compete with other companies.
B. To create a new fashion.
C. To meet the needs of the design director.
D. To help improve the environment and cut down pollution.
14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. How plastic bottles are collected.
B. How plastic bottles are turned into thread.
C. How other fashion companies make clothes.
D. How other fashion companies melt the bottles.
15. In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage
A. Food and Health
B. Sports and Fashion
C. Environment and Technology
D. History and Culture

综合填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式（不超过3个单词）。
Time flies and you may feel down when leaving junior high school. But it may make you feel much ____36____（sad） to say goodbye to your teachers and classmates. This feeling was shared more than 1,000 years ago（诗人） Wang Wei had to say goodbye to his friend.
A Farewell Song begins with a lovely morning scene. On that morning. Wang had to say goodbye to his friend Yuan Er, who would leave for Anxi in today’s Xinjiang. The last two lines are the most well-known. Yuan ____37____（invite）by the poet to drink wine（酒）because he knew that life in Anxi would be difficult. Most cities in China were prosperous（繁荣的）, ____38____ the western areas were quite desolate（荒凉的）. The journey ____39____ the west would be full of difficulties, Wang thought. Wang invited Yuan Er to drink a cup of wine again ____40____（express）his care and good wishes. This love for his friend made this poem popular back then and it remains so today.
【答案】36. sadder
37. was invited
38. but 39. to
40. to express
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了王维的《送元二使安西》所表达的强烈深沉的惜别之情。
【36题详解】
句意：但是跟老师和同学说再见可能会让你感觉更难过。much后加形容词比较级，故填sadder。
【37题详解】
句意：元被诗人邀请去喝酒，因为他知道安西的生活会很艰难。invite“邀请”，动词，和主语之间是被动关系，句子是发生在过去，应用一般过去时的被动语态：was/were done，主语是单数，be动词用was。故填was invited。
【38题详解】
句意：中国大多数城市都很繁荣，但西部地区却相当荒凉。前后语境是转折关系，应用but连接。故填but。
【39题详解】
句意：王想，西行将会充满困难。根据“The journey...the west”可知是指前往西部的旅程，应用介词to，故填to。
【40题详解】
句意：王又请元二喝了一杯酒，以表达他的关心和良好的祝愿。根据“drink a cup of wine”可知再喝一杯酒是为了表达他的关心和良好的祝愿，应用动词不定式作目的状语，故填to express。

【答案】例文
Dear teenagers,
I’m Li Hua from Jingmen. China launched the Shenzhou-16 successfully on May 30th this year. One of the astronauts Gui Haichao is our model. As teenagers, we can learn a lot from him to realize our dream.
If we want to realize our dreams, first of all, we should work hard to learn all kinds of knowledge to enrich our brains. Second, we should take an active part in physical exercise to build up our body. The body is the root of everything. Third, we must be brave enough to face different challenges and never give up. Finally, when you are in trouble, be willing to ask others for help. Besides, it is important to learn to cooperate with others.
In my opinion, we need a firm heart if we want to realize our dreams. We should have a strong sense of purpose and work hard to do it step by step.
