More and more English-educated Chinese Singaporean parents are realising the importance for their children to be not only good at the all-important English language，but also at Chinese. China has become a great political and economic superpower and they want their children to become bilingual.
It is common knowledge that，to master any language，especially one’s mother tongue，one must begin from childhood. But there are challenges and barriers for children of English-speaking homes to succeed in their journey towards bilingualism.
Take my family as an example. While my wife and I are products of English education，we had some foundation in Chinese which we kept up in our working life. But the language of communication in our home is mainly English.
We are glad that our three children had between 8 and 11 years’ Chinese schooling before switching over to English schools. Their foundation in Chinese has become an advantage in their adult life. They can hold their own in the spoken language，but would find it hard to write a business letter in Chinese for lack of usage.
We have a grandson who will be two years old shortly. His parents have given us the unenviable(艰难的) task of making him bilingual. It is a very tough assignment, as we are with him only a couple of hours on most days. For the rest of the time, he is being surrounded by English sounds by his busy parents.
Fortunately, our perseverance is paying off. After eight months, he has been used to hearing Chinese sounds, and even he can now quite comfortably identify common everyday objects in Chinese.
( )1．Why is it becoming necessary for some Chinese Singaporean children to learn Chinese
A．Because most of the Singaporeans come from China.
B．Because their parents are missing their motherland.
C．Because China has become a great political and economic superpower.
D．Because Chinese is the official language in the UN.
( )2．The underlined word “bilingual” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．
A．a person who knows English
B．a person who knows Chinese
C．a person who knows only one language
D．a person who knows two languages
( )3．The author uses the example of teaching his grandson mainly to prove that ________.
A．there are challenges for children of English-speaking homes to learn Chinese
B．his foundation in Chinese is a big advantage in teaching his grandson
C．he is quite good at teaching small children Chinese
D．learning Chinese is very popular in Singapore
( )4．We learn from the passage that ________.
A．all the children in Singapore need to learn Chinese
B．understanding Chinese is becoming an advantage in Singapore
C．the author’s children know nothing about Chinese
D．the author feels it easy to teach others Chinese

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国印章文化的产生以及发展。

2．which 考查定语从句。句意：对于中国人来说，印章是一种有着深厚文化底蕴的艺术，它融合了书法和雕塑的精髓，激励着一代又一代的人去学习、去欣赏、去收藏。本空引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词art，关系词在从句中作主语、指物。故填which。
3．It 考查it的用法。句意：据说，早在8 000年前，在我们的祖先能够制作陶器并拥有私人财产之后，印章就出现了。本句中that引导主语从句，故应用it作形式主语。故填It。

5．was founded 考查时态和语态。句意：当第一个朝代被建立，皇帝开始使用印章授权，表明皇权。根据句意可知，本句应用一般过去时；主语dynasty和谓语found之间是被动关系，故本空应填一般过去时的被动语态was founded。
6．representing 考查非谓语动词。句意：只有国王的特别印章被称为“玺”，代表最高的权威。represent和句子主语seal之间是主动关系，故本空应用现在分词representing作状语。故填representing。
7．made 考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的第一个皇帝秦始皇，他的“玺”是由无价的美玉“和氏璧”制成。动词make和“Xi”之间是被动关系，故本空应用过去分词作宾补，构成have sth done结构。故填made。
8．the 考查冠词。句意：然后，地方政府也需要印章来履行同样的职能。the same意为“同样的”，故本空应用定冠词the。故填the。

Ⅰ． 阅读理解
(2023四川成都高一下学期期末)As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realise outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”， my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”．So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else — change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel(元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from. ” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
( )1．What made the author want to leave her hometown
A．Appeal of convenience in cities.
B．Her dream of becoming a writer.
C．Outside prejudice against southerners.
D．Her desire for the northern accent.
( )2．How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A．Upset. B．Pleased.
C．Ashamed. D．Surprised.
( )3．Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent
A．To prove herself right. B．To help Emily be a reporter.
C．To make herself influential. D．To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
( )4．What message does the text want to convey
A．Stay true to your roots. B．Never do things by halves.
C．Hold on to your dreams. D．Never judge a person by his accent.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，也明白了要坚守本根。
1．C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While growing up, I began to realise outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇，开始新的生活，并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会). ”可知，作者决定离开自己的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C项。
2．B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake(在我们成为朋友之初，她妈妈问我来自哪里，以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误). ”可推知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者是非常开心的。故选B项。
3．A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I feared it would…myself(我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些’乡村’了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分). ”，第三段中的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作，而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的). ”以及倒数第二段中的“I advised her to…achieve her dream of working as a reporter(我建议她更像我，隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中，我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己，我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想). ”可知，作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知，作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的，即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A项。
4．A 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段中的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else — change Emily’s accent(我很惭愧，但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变Emily的口音). ”和最后一段中的“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, ’Girl, don’t forget where you come from’(罗琳奶奶过去常对我说：’女孩，别忘了你来自哪里’). ”可知，文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。故选A项。
Ⅱ．七选五
As you get older, you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds, it can be hard to know how to respect their culture. __1__
Know your own culture
One of the best ways to understand other people’s cultures is to first consider your own. Most of us don’t realise that our own customs and beliefs might seem strange to someone else. Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange. __2__
Learn about a different culture
Maybe you’ve recently met someone from a different culture, or you’re curious about how different people live. When you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. __3__ The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.
__4__
Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation: __5__ Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A．Respect other cultures
B．Appreciate the differences
C．Ask questions if your friends are open to it.
D．In this way, you may find it hard to know your own culture.
E．Otherwise, it’s hard to approach those differences with respect.
F．Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself.
G．These will help you get an insider’s view on a different culture.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了要学会如何尊重来自其他文化的人和你自己的一些建议。
1．F 根据上文“If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds, it can be hard to know how to respect their culture(如果你没有见过很多来自不同背景的人，你可能很难知道如何尊重他们的文化). ”并结合下文的内容可知，空处陈述有些方法可以了解更多来自不同文化的人和自己。F项“有一些了解更多关于他们和你自己的建议。”符合语境。故选F项。
2．E 空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“ Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange(不要认为自己的生活方式是唯一正常的，其他人的生活方式都很奇怪). ”可知，空处陈述这种想法的后果。E项“否则，很难尊重这些差异。”符合语境。故选E项。
3．G 根据上文“Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows(此外，你还可以读书、看电影或广播节目). ”可知，这些都是了解不同文化的方式。G项“这些将帮助你从内部人士的角度来看待不同的文化。”符合语境。故选G项。
4．B 通读下文内容可知，本段主要讲述的是欣赏文化的差异性，B项“欣赏差异”是对本段内容的概括，适合作本段的小标题。故选B项。
5．C 根据上文“The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation(尊重来自其他文化的人的最佳方式是在好奇心和欣赏之间取得平衡)”可知，对其他文化既要有好奇心，也要欣赏。下文“Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique(此外，学会默默地观察和欣赏使我们独特的差异). ”提到了欣赏，由此推知，空处内容和“好奇心”有关。C项“如果你的朋友对此持开放态度，就可以提问。”符合语境。故选C项。UNIT 3 Period Three

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mum. Kind and caring, she always seemed to make people comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home to help with her until I hit my preteen years. Suddenly, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was twelve, Mum came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything Eventually, I made my way outside. I imagined the lake water cooling my skin. Annoyed, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. I sat in silence, too upset to make a conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going？” Mum asked calmly.
“I guess…” I murmured under my breath.
“Sweetheart, we are going to a children’s shelter. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you, ” she explained.
I felt a knot slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. It was a large white Victorian home. As we approached the large front porch, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and blossoms welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad.
Mum rang the doorbell. The door flew open and we were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with wounds. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars(伤疤) such as cuts, scratches and burns. What a terrible life they had had before they moved here! My heart sank.

Our time together brought her great joy and fun and she also made my day.

(2023福建福州高一下学期期末)While tea may have its origins in Asia, now it has found its way into their food culture and traditions in many countries. It is a special way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies. That finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is considered as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich in history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly used on both formal and informal occasions either for personal enjoyment or as a Chinese cultural tradition.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea. Japanese tea is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years has become popular in Western culture.
British tea culture
When it comes to British tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of Earl Grey tea often serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day, which makes you feel better and more energetic. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a special way to welcome guests. Before any gathering, a pot of mint(薄荷) tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and kindness, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.
( )16．What do Chinese and Japanese tea cultures have in common
A．They have a long history.
B．They are used in medicine.
C．They are well known for green tea.
D．They have long been widely recognised.
( )17．Why do the British prefer the afternoon tea

C．To bring out respect. D．To observe a tradition.
( )18．What word can best describe Moroccan people
A．Honest. B．Confident.
C．Grateful. D．Friendly.
【语篇解读】虽然茶起源于亚洲，但如今世界上许多国家的饮食文化和传统中都融入了茶的元素。文章主要介绍了中国、日本、英国和摩洛哥的茶文化。
16． A 推理判断题。根据Chinese tea culture部分中“Since China is considered as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich in history and tradition(由于中国被认为是茶的发源地，难怪中国茶文化具有丰富的历史和传统). ”以及Japanese tea culture部分中“Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha …(日本也有悠久的茶历史，尤其是日本抹茶……). ”可知，中国和日本茶文化的共同点是有着悠久的历史。故选A。
17． B 细节理解题。根据British tea culture部分中“A hot cup of Earl Grey tea often serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day, which makes you feel better and more energetic(下午喝一杯热伯爵茶，加一点牛奶和一块饼干，提神醒脑，让你感觉更好，更有活力). ”可知，英国下午茶是为了让人们感觉更有活力。故选B。
18． D 推理判断题。根据Moroccan tea culture部分中“This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and kindness, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host(这是摩洛哥传统和善良的表现，客人应该始终接受这一点，以表示对主人的欣赏和尊重). ”可知，摩洛哥的茶文化是非常友好的。故选D。

(2023四川成都高一下学期期末)Across India, summers can be extreme. Temperatures outdoors can soar to 124F°(51℃), high enough to melt the surface of the streets.
Millions of urban lower-income families live in tiny, one-room houses crammed together. Such shacks have tin and asbestos(石棉的) roofs. These materials absorb the sun’s heat, rather than reflect it back into the atmosphere. Additionally, only a few trees grow between the jam-packed houses. Making matters worse is the residents’ poverty. Most households cannot afford to run air conditioners and coolers. All these factors make the inside of these tiny houses extremely hot. Under such conditions, residents find it difficult to live, let alone work. Productivity declines.
Social workers and scientists have realised that the quickest way to cool such houses is to change their roofs. That’s because the roof receives the most direct sunlight. Climate researchers came up with many strategies to produce cool roofs. One easy way was with paint. Light-coloured surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other colour. This wasn’t a new idea. In fact, Indians have traditionally whitewashed homes with chuna. The annual monsoon rains，though，wash the chuna away. Climate experts hoped that the white paints would last longer. Research findings revealed that painting alone could bring down the heat by up to 9F°(5℃).
Problems persist, though. While the paint is fairly cheap, poor people cannot afford it without financial help. In addition, the sunlight bouncing off white-topped roofs makes them too bright to look at. Residents usually use the roofs for drying wet clothes and vegetables, like chilies. But the glare from the whitened surfaces makes it tough for them to do these tasks. A third problem is that white-roofed buildings reflect the sun’s rays throughout the year. Ironically, this makes roofs too cool in regions where winters get extremely cold. And keeping warm is costly, too.
Despite these drawbacks, many households are supporters of cool roof initiatives. For most, the benefits of the roofs outweigh their flaws. Indeed, the white paint has given their lives a new light.
( )19．What is a factor contributing to Indian houses’ extreme heat
A．The building materials of the roofs.
B．Residents’ lack of green awareness.
C．The influence of the global economy.
D．There being no trees in the community.
( )20．Why is white paint a good choice according to Paragraph 3
A．It is effective. B．It is innovative.
C．It is replaceable. D．It is long-lasting.
( )21．What problem comes with white paint roofs
A．Their brightness will lead to colour blindness
B．The paint will become too expensive to afford.
C．It will be inconvenient to dry stuff on the roofs.
D．Residents’ living cost will be higher in summer.
( )22．What is the text mainly about
A．Light-coloured paints. B．A house-cooling strategy.
C．White-roofed buildings. D．An energy-saving initiative.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了用白油漆涂屋顶来降温的方法。
19．A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Such shacks have tin and asbestos(石棉的)roofs…All these factors make the inside of these tiny houses extremely hot(这样的棚屋有锡和石棉屋顶。这些材料吸收太阳的热量，而不是将其反射回大气层。此外，只有几棵树生长在拥挤的房屋之间。更糟糕的是当地居民的贫困。大多数家庭买不起空调和冷却器。所有这些因素使这些小房子的内部非常热). ”并结合选项可知，屋顶的建筑材料是导致印度房屋过热的因素之一。故选A项。
20．A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One easy way was with paint. Light-coloured surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other colour(一种简单的降温方法是给屋顶涂白油漆。浅色表面比深色表面反射更多的热量，所以涂成白色的屋顶会比其他颜色的屋顶更凉爽). ”可知，白油漆是一个好的选择是因为能反射更多的热量，更有效。故选A项。
21．C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Problems persist, though…makes it tough for them to do these tasks(不过，问题依然存在。虽然油漆相当便宜，但如果没有经济援助，穷人买不起。此外，阳光从白色屋顶上反射回来，使它们太亮了，让人看不见。居民们通常用屋顶来晾晒湿衣服和蔬菜，比如辣椒。但白化表面的强光让它们很难完成这些任务). ”可知，从白色屋顶上反射的光太亮，使人睁不开眼，这使得在屋顶上晾干东西很不方便。故选C项。
22．B 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段中的“Climate researchers came up with many strategies to produce cool roofs. One easy way was with paint(气候研究人员想出了许多制造凉爽屋顶的策略。一个简单的方法是用颜料). ”和最后一段“Despite these drawbacks…has given their lives a new light(尽管有这些缺点，许多家庭都是冷屋顶倡议的支持者。对大多数人来说，屋顶的好处大于缺点。事实上，白色的油漆给他们的生活带来了新的曙光). ”可知，本文主要介绍了用白油漆涂屋顶来降温的策略。故选B项。

If it had not been for Fan Jinshi and her team, the world cultural heritage at Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes in a remote Chinese desert might have long been destroyed by sand, weather and humans.
Born in Beijing and raised in Shanghai, Fan has spent half a century fighting an uphill battle to preserve the ancient Buddhist wall paintings at Dunhuang, in Northwest China’s Gansu Province. The 1,651-year-old Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes are a huge collection of Buddhist art — more than 2,000 buddha figures and 45,000 square metres of paintings spread among 735 caves. It is China’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Archaeologist Fan was sent to Dunhuang after graduation from Peking University in 1963．While in Dunhuang, a remote village in the desert then, Fan lived in an abandoned temple. At first, she did not even dare to go out to the toilet at night. To protect the treasures from sand and dampness, Fan and other workers put doors on the caves, planted trees and started monitoring temperature and humidity in the caves. They also controlled the number of visitors.
In the late 1990s, with tourism booming nationwide since national holidays were extended, the local government planned to go public with(公之于世) Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, but found Fan firmly in their way. “The heritage would have been destroyed if it had been listed，” she said.
Dunhuang Academy has now photographed and cataloged online all the sculptures and paintings. “Despite our efforts to minimise damage, we can’t completely stop them from being eroded. But the digital database will last. ”
Fan was grateful when her husband joined her in Dunhuang in 1986 after 19 years of separation. Her two sons grew up in Shanghai with their aunt. “I have not been a good mother or wife. With regard to my family, I’m full of guilt，” she said. Fan, 79, retired two years ago as the director of Dunhuang Academy but continues her efforts as a national political adviser.
( )23．Which of the following measures didn’t Fan Jinshi take to protect Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes
A．Opening Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes to the public extensively.
B．Planting trees and stopping the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes being eroded.
C．Picturing and classifying all the sculptures and paintings online.
D．Putting doors on the caves and monitoring temperature and humidity.
( )24．What does the underlined phrase “in their way” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Going to a place. B．Being in favour of something.
C．Rejecting something. D．Giving in to something.
( )25．What kind of person do you think Fan is
A．Considerate and easy-going. B．Kind and intelligent.
C．Humorous and sweet. D．Devoted and persistent.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了北大才女、“文物保护杰出贡献者”国家荣誉称号获得者樊锦诗奉献一生守护敦煌莫高窟的故事。
23．A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To protect the treasures from sand and dampness, Fan and other workers put doors on the caves, planted trees and started monitoring temperature and humidity in the caves. They also controlled the number of visitors. ”及第五段中的“Dunhuang Academy has now photographed and cataloged online all the sculptures and paintings. ”可知，为了保护敦煌莫高窟，樊锦诗和她的伙伴给洞穴装上门、植树、监测洞内温度和湿度、控制游客数量、在网上对所有的雕塑和绘画进行了拍照和编目。四个选项中，只有A项未提及。
24．C 词义猜测题。根据后句 “’The heritage would have been destroyed if it had been listed，’she said. ”可知，樊锦诗说：“如果这份遗产被列入名录，它早就被毁了。”由此可知，樊锦诗坚决反对当地政府将敦煌莫高窟公之于众的计划，故画线词“in their way”的意思是“反对某事”。
25．D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Fan has spent half a century fighting an uphill battle to preserve the ancient Buddhist wall paintings at Dunhuang…”及最后一段中的“I have not been a good mother or wife. With regard to my family, I’m full of guilt…”可知，樊锦诗放弃照顾家庭，一生守卫敦煌莫高窟。由此可判断出樊锦诗具有奉献的和坚持不懈的精神。
第二节 七选五(10分)
Children’s games in ancient China
Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didn’t have smartphone, iPad or computer to entertain themselves. __26__. Let’s take a look.
Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. __27__. For example, the swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style.
Playing hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. Even nowadays, many children like playing it. There are two ways to play. One way is covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him. __28__.
__29__
The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate(操纵) puppets behind the screen, narrating stories and accompanied by music.
Setting off firecrackers
Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that there was a beast(野兽) named Nian in ancient China. __30__. After gunpowder was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker. Crackers are still set off during the Spring Festival to symbolise auspiciousness(吉利).
A．Watching shadow plays
B．Each of them has special features
C．Different materials are used to make the kite
D．Shadow plays were the popular entertaining form in ancient times
E．And to scare off the beast, people burnt bamboo joints to make it blast
F．More commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them
G．Instead, they came up with some interesting games to play in their childhood
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了四种中国古代的儿童游戏。
26．G 根据空前句 “Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didn’t have smartphone, iPad or computer to entertain(娱乐) themselves. ”可知，不像现在的孩子，古代的孩子没有智能手机、iPad或电脑来娱乐。故G项(相反，他们在童年时会想出一些有趣的游戏玩)承接上句，符合文意。
27．B 根据空前句 “Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. ”可知，现在最著名的三种风筝是北京风筝、天津风筝和潍坊风筝。根据空后句 “…the swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style. ”可知，燕子形的风筝是著名的北京风格。故B项(它们都有各自的特点)承接上下句，符合文意。
28．F 根据空前句 “There are two ways to play. One way is covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him. ”可知，有两种玩法：一种方法是遮住一个孩子的眼睛，而其他孩子跑来跑去逗他。F项(更常见的情况是，参与者躲起来，一个孩子必须设法找到他们)承接上文。
29．A 根据下面的 “The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate(操纵) puppets behind the screen, narrating stories and accompanied by music. ”可知，在古代，与看电影或电视最接近的娱乐方式就是看皮影戏。民间艺人在幕后操纵木偶，讲故事，配以音乐。故本段标题应和“看皮影戏”有关，故选A项。
30．E 根据空前句 “It is said that there was a beast(野兽)named Nian in ancient China. ”可知，据说中国古代有一只叫“年”的野兽。根据空后句 “After gunpowder was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker. ”可知，火药发明后，逐渐取代了竹节爆竹。E项(为了吓跑这头野兽，人们烧了竹节使它爆炸)承接上下句。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了西递和附近的宏村于2000年被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界遗产，以及该处的徽派建筑文化特色。
46．were declared 考查动词时态、语态与主谓一致。句意：2000年，西递和附近的宏村被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界遗产，因为它们对明清时期乡村建筑的出色保存。分析句子可知，设空处使用动词作谓语，句子表述过去事实，应用一般过去时。declare为动词，意为“宣布”，主语“Xidi and the nearby Hongcun village”与动词declare是被动关系，故使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were declared。
47．preservation 考查名词。句意：同上题。根据空前的形容词outstanding可知，设空处应用preserve的名词形式，在句中作宾语，意为“保护”。故填preservation。
48．featuring 考查动词-ing形式。句意：现在，走在西递或宏村的青石街道上，游客可以欣赏到独特的徽州风格的房屋，白墙，黑瓦和马头山墙，感觉自己沉浸在一幅传统的中国水墨画中。分析句子可知，句中的“can appreciate”为谓语动词，设空处应使用非谓语动词。feature为动词，意为“以……为特征”，名词短语“Huizhou-style houses”与其在逻辑上是主谓关系，在句中作状语，应用动词-ing形式。故填featuring。
49．an 考查冠词。句意：徽州建筑以其悠久的传统和丰富的多样性，在中国建筑景观中占有重要地位。分析句子可知，设空处应使用冠词，表示泛指“一个重要地位”，同时important以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。故填an。
50．mountainous 考查形容词。句意：由于徽州是一个多山的地区，几乎没有平坦的土地，因此它的房屋往往与自然特征相匹配。根据空后的名词area可知，设空处应用mountain的形容词形式，在句中作定语，意为“多山的”。故填mountainous。
51．widely 考查副词。句意：徽州以石雕、木雕和砖雕而闻名，它们被广泛用于当地房屋的装饰。分析句子可知，设空处应用wide的副词形式，在句中作状语，意为“广泛地”修饰动词used。故填widely。
52．with 考查介词。句意：通过这种方式，当地人将自己的审美价值和情感融入建筑中，使建筑变得更加美丽，并通过图案所蕴含的意义来教育孩子。短语integrate sth with sth为固定搭配，意为“把……与……融合”。故填with。
53．contained 考查动词-ed形式。句意：同上题。分析句子可知，句中的integrate为谓语动词，设空处应用非谓语动词。contain为动词，意为“包含”，the meanings与contain在逻辑上是被动关系，故使用动词-ed形式作后置定语。故填contained。
54．but 考查连词。句意：如果你看一看徽州房子的外面，它似乎被墙包围着，但里面是开放和广阔的。分析句子可知，设空处使用连词连接前后两个句子，前后存在转折关系。故填but。
55．who 考查定语从句。句意：就像徽州人一样，他们对陌生人往往是矜持的，但当你了解他们时，你会很友好。分析句子可知，设空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，修饰先行词Huizhou people。故填who。
