第一部分 话题素材积累
Chinese porcelain, featuring its delicate texture,pleasing color, and exquisite sculpture, has been one of the earliest artworks introduced to the Western world through the Silk Road.
中国瓷器拥有细腻的质地、赏心悦目的色彩和精致的雕刻，是通过丝绸之路传入西方世界的最早艺术品之一。
From the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD) to the Qing Dynasty（1636 AD-1912 AD), Chinese porcelain experienced a celebrated development.With bright and beautiful colors, Chinese porcelain has always been known for its exotic, durable, and exquisite characteristics.

中国瓷器早在汉朝就开始出口。由于丝绸之路上大规模贸易的发展，中国瓷器很快被引入西方国家。从宋朝（公元960年一公元1279年）开始，由于海上贸易的繁荣，中国陶瓷大量出口。

时文阅读
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Fine, crisp and clear or transparent. Many years ago, a dance between clay and fire gave rise to a tangible piece of art: porcelain (瓷器) .
Flames in kilns (窑) around China have been burning since the Xia and Shang dynasties (21st century-11th century BC). Along the way, porcelain was born.
Porcelain is generally made by heating raw materials, often a mix between China stone and kaolin clay, in a kiln at a temperature as high as 1,200 degree Celsius. Temperature is key to making porcelain. Going through the fire of reinvention at a high temperature gives porcelain greater strength, more transparency and a feast of colors.
Celadon (青瓷) produced in Longquan, Zhejiang province, a heritage passed down for more than 1,600 years, is a great example of craftsmen’s dream of the perfect green glint. It takes 72 steps to produce Longquan celadon’s jade-like green. Plum green and light green, or tianqing (the color of the sky after a rain), are two colors of the best quality.
Porcelain has also been a carrier for cultural exchanges. Along with China’s silk and tea, porcelain was one of the first commodities to receive worldwide trade.
As it travelled around the globe through the ancient Maritime Silk Road, porcelain was well received among royal families and upper classes in Europe, who were impressed by these beautiful vessels they named after China, a product that could be produced only in the far East.

Shaping, drying, glazing and firing... in less than 5 minutes, a mini vase only millimeters in size starts to take shape as viewers watch on. As the founder of a miniature ceramics (微型陶瓷) studio, Wang Wenhua never expected that his works would surprise viewers in China, let alone those abroad, and that his short videos would earn over 45 million views and 4.2 million likes on a video application.
Having worked in China’s “Porcelain Capital (瓷都)” Jingdezhen in East China’s Jiangxi Province for 14 years, Wang said he had once seen the world’s biggest ceramic here but he had never seen the smallest, so he decided one day to try something different—making micro porcelain.
Things were not easy in the beginning, and many people doubted him. “They called me crazy and mocked me when I went to factories and asked them to help make miniature tools for me to create micro pottery. Even my wife did not support me,” Wang said.
However, Wang did not give up and after about half a year of experimentation, Wang finally made miniature tools on his own and was able to complete his first miniature porcelain—a vase.
According to Wang, the key to making a miniature ceramic work is concentration and a pair of steady hands. After numerous attempts, Wang found that the smallest works he could get were about 2 millimeters in size. “It would probably miss my original intention if I made micro pottery using a microscope, so I have focused more attention on making the smaller pieces more beautiful and complex,” said Wang.
The smallest vase that Wang has made is a bowl only 2 millimeters tall, 3 millimeters wide and 1 millimeter thick. Wang says he plans to apply for the Guinness World Records for the world’s smallest pottery work.
5．What inspired Wang Wenhua to make micro porcelain
A．The high expectations of the viewers.
B．The popularity of his videos on a video application.
C．His decision to make something different.
D．The responsibility of the founder of the studio.
6．Which words can best describe Wang Wenhua
A．Ambitious and wise. B．Brilliant and wealthy.
C．Talented and stubborn. D．Determined and focused.
7．What plays a significant role in Wang producing a miniature ceramic work
A．Using a microscope in his work.
B．Advanced tools made by himself.
C．Carrying out numerous experiments.
D．Attention on a thing and steady hands.
8．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Art. B．Fashion. C．Education. D．Psychology.

时文阅读
1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文简要介绍瓷器的色泽、历史、制造工艺、发展和贸易等。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Fine, crisp and clear or transparent. Many years ago, a dance between clay and fire gave rise to a tangible piece of art: porcelain (瓷器) .(精细的、易碎的、明亮的或透明的。许多年前，黏土与火之间的舞蹈产生了一种有形的艺术品：瓷器)”和第二段中“Going through the fire of reinvention at a high temperature gives porcelain greater strength, more transparency and a feast of colors.(经过高温的再创造之火，瓷器的强度更大，透明度更高，色彩更丰富)”可知，黏土烧制的瓷器可以是透明的、可触摸的和色彩丰富的，但不能说是不时髦的。故选C项。
2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Flames in kilns (窑) around China have been burning since the Xia and Shang dynasties (21st century-11th century BC). Along the way, porcelain was born.(自夏商朝(公元前21世纪至公元前11世纪)以来，中国各地的窑炉就开始燃烧火焰。在此过程中，瓷器诞生了)”、第三段中“Porcelain is generally made by heating raw materials, often a mix between China stone and kaolin clay, in a kiln at a temperature as high as 1,200 degree Celsius. Temperature is key to making porcelain. Going through the fire of reinvention at a high temperature gives porcelain greater strength, more transparency and a feast of colors.(瓷器通常是通过加热原料制成的，通常是中国石和高岭土的混合物，在窑炉中加热温度高达1200摄氏度。温度是制作瓷器的关键。经过高温的再创造之火，瓷器的强度更大，透明度更高，色彩更丰富)”和第四段中“Celadon (青瓷) produced in Longquan, Zhejiang province, a heritage passed down for more than 1,600 years, is a great example of craftsmen’s dream of the perfect green glint. It takes 72 steps to produce Longquan celadon’s jade-like green. Plum green and light green, or tianqing (the color of the sky after a rain), are two colors of the best quality.(浙江龙泉的青瓷(青瓷)传承了1600多年，是工匠们追求完美绿色光泽的理想典范。龙泉青瓷的翡翠般的绿色需要72道工序才能生产出来。梅绿和浅绿，或天青(雨后天空的颜色)，是最好的两种颜色)”可知，第二、三和四段的主要目的是介绍制作瓷器的历史和方法简介。故选D项。
3．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Along with China’s silk and tea, porcelain was one of the first commodities to receive worldwide trade.(与中国的丝绸和茶叶一样，瓷器是首批接受全球贸易的commodities之一)”中“Along with China’s silk and tea”和“worldwide trade”可知，句中把瓷器与丝绸和茶叶相提并论，说明瓷器也是全球贸易中的重要“商品”。划线词commodities与goods，意为“商品”。故选A项。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Fine, crisp and clear or transparent. Many years ago, a dance between clay and fire gave rise to a tangible piece of art: porcelain (瓷器) .(精细的、易碎的、明亮的或透明的。许多年前，黏土与火之间的舞蹈产生了一种有形的艺术品：瓷器)”和第五段“Porcelain has also been a carrier for cultural exchanges. Along with China’s silk and tea, porcelain was one of the first commodities to receive worldwide trade.(瓷器也是文化交流的载体。与中国的丝绸和茶叶一样，瓷器是首批接受全球贸易的商品之一)”可知，文章介绍了瓷器的色泽、历史、制造工艺、发展和贸易等信息。文中描述的瓷器不单是一种艺术品，更是种有着悠久历史的文化遗产，所以“A Living Heritage: Porcelain(活着遗产：瓷器)”是最佳标题。故选B项。

(在中国东部江西省的“瓷都”景德镇工作了14年之后，王说他曾经在这里看到过世界上最大的陶瓷，但从未见过最小的，所以有一天他决定尝试不同的东西——制作微瓷器)”可知，王文华做微瓷器是因为他决定做一些不同的东西。故选C。
6．推理判断题。根据第四段“However, Wang did not give up and after about half a year of experimentation, Wang finally made miniature tools on his own and was able to complete his first miniature porcelain — a vase. (然而，王并没有放弃，经过大约半年的实验，他终于自己制作了微型工具，并完成了他的第一个微型瓷器——花瓶)”以及第五段中““It would probably miss my original intention if I made micro pottery using a microscope, so I have focused more attention on making the smaller pieces more beautiful and complex, ”said Wang. (“如果我用显微镜制作微陶器，可能会错过我的初衷，所以我把更多的注意力放在让小陶器更漂亮、更复杂上，”王说)”可推知，王文华有决心和专注。故选D。

26．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：醴陵的制瓷可追溯到汉代。空格处是句子的谓语动词，描述客观事实，用一般现在时；主语是Porcelain-making，谓语动词用三单形式。故填dates。
27．考查非谓语动词。句意：一个瓷瓶在1915年的巴拿马国际博览会上获得了金奖，使它闻名世界。句子已有谓语动词won，空格处应该用非谓语形式作状语，动词make与上文句子的内容之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语。故填making。
28．考查连词。句意：黄说：“虽然这不会让我们成为百万富翁，但在瓷器行业工作可以让我们过上舒适的生活，同时保留了我们祖先的技能和文化。”根据句意分析句子可知， 10 it doesn’t make us millionaires和working in the porcelain industry allows us to have a comfortable life while preserving the skills and culture of our ancestors是让步转折关系，所以空格处应该用连词引导让步状语从句。故填Though/Although/While。

The smallest vase that Wang has made is a bowl only 2 millimeters tall, 3 millimeters wide and 1 millimeter thick. Wang says he plans to apply for the Guinness World Records for the world’s smallest pottery work.

【参考答案】
时文阅读
1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文简要介绍瓷器的色泽、历史、制造工艺、发展和贸易等。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Fine, crisp and clear or transparent. Many years ago, a dance between clay and fire gave rise to a tangible piece of art: porcelain (瓷器) .(精细的、易碎的、明亮的或透明的。许多年前，黏土与火之间的舞蹈产生了一种有形的艺术品：瓷器)”和第二段中“Going through the fire of reinvention at a high temperature gives porcelain greater strength, more transparency and a feast of colors.(经过高温的再创造之火，瓷器的强度更大，透明度更高，色彩更丰富)”可知，黏土烧制的瓷器可以是透明的、可触摸的和色彩丰富的，但不能说是不时髦的。故选C项。
2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Flames in kilns (窑) around China have been burning since the Xia and Shang dynasties (21st century-11th century BC). Along the way, porcelain was born.(自夏商朝(公元前21世纪至公元前11世纪)以来，中国各地的窑炉就开始燃烧火焰。在此过程中，瓷器诞生了)”、第三段中“Porcelain is generally made by heating raw materials, often a mix between China stone and kaolin clay, in a kiln at a temperature as high as 1,200 degree Celsius. Temperature is key to making porcelain. Going through the fire of reinvention at a high temperature gives porcelain greater strength, more transparency and a feast of colors.(瓷器通常是通过加热原料制成的，通常是中国石和高岭土的混合物，在窑炉中加热温度高达1200摄氏度。温度是制作瓷器的关键。经过高温的再创造之火，瓷器的强度更大，透明度更高，色彩更丰富)”和第四段中“Celadon (青瓷) produced in Longquan, Zhejiang province, a heritage passed down for more than 1,600 years, is a great example of craftsmen’s dream of the perfect green glint. It takes 72 steps to produce Longquan celadon’s jade-like green. Plum green and light green, or tianqing (the color of the sky after a rain), are two colors of the best quality.(浙江龙泉的青瓷(青瓷)传承了1600多年，是工匠们追求完美绿色光泽的理想典范。龙泉青瓷的翡翠般的绿色需要72道工序才能生产出来。梅绿和浅绿，或天青(雨后天空的颜色)，是最好的两种颜色)”可知，第二、三和四段的主要目的是介绍制作瓷器的历史和方法简介。故选D项。
3．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Along with China’s silk and tea, porcelain was one of the first commodities to receive worldwide trade.(与中国的丝绸和茶叶一样，瓷器是首批接受全球贸易的commodities之一)”中“Along with China’s silk and tea”和“worldwide trade”可知，句中把瓷器与丝绸和茶叶相提并论，说明瓷器也是全球贸易中的重要“商品”。划线词commodities与goods，意为“商品”。故选A项。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Fine, crisp and clear or transparent. Many years ago, a dance between clay and fire gave rise to a tangible piece of art: porcelain (瓷器) .(精细的、易碎的、明亮的或透明的。许多年前，黏土与火之间的舞蹈产生了一种有形的艺术品：瓷器)”和第五段“Porcelain has also been a carrier for cultural exchanges. Along with China’s silk and tea, porcelain was one of the first commodities to receive worldwide trade.(瓷器也是文化交流的载体。与中国的丝绸和茶叶一样，瓷器是首批接受全球贸易的商品之一)”可知，文章介绍了瓷器的色泽、历史、制造工艺、发展和贸易等信息。文中描述的瓷器不单是一种艺术品，更是种有着悠久历史的文化遗产，所以“A Living Heritage: Porcelain(活着遗产：瓷器)”是最佳标题。故选B项。
5．C 6．D 7．D 8．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微型陶瓷工作室的创始人王文华开始制作微瓷器的原因以及经过。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段“Having worked in China’s “Porcelain Capital” Jingdezhen in East China’s Jiangxi Province for 14 years, Wang said he had once seen the world’s biggest ceramic here but he had never seen the smallest, so he decided one day to try something different — making micro porcelain. (在中国东部江西省的“瓷都”景德镇工作了14年之后，王说他曾经在这里看到过世界上最大的陶瓷，但从未见过最小的，所以有一天他决定尝试不同的东西——制作微瓷器)”可知，王文华做微瓷器是因为他决定做一些不同的东西。故选C。
6．推理判断题。根据第四段“However, Wang did not give up and after about half a year of experimentation, Wang finally made miniature tools on his own and was able to complete his first miniature porcelain — a vase. (然而，王并没有放弃，经过大约半年的实验，他终于自己制作了微型工具，并完成了他的第一个微型瓷器——花瓶)”以及第五段中““It would probably miss my original intention if I made micro pottery using a microscope, so I have focused more attention on making the smaller pieces more beautiful and complex, ”said Wang. (“如果我用显微镜制作微陶器，可能会错过我的初衷，所以我把更多的注意力放在让小陶器更漂亮、更复杂上，”王说)”可推知，王文华有决心和专注。故选D。

25．考查定语从句。句意：2003年，她在北京的一场比赛中获得银牌，这不仅是她自己的转折点，也是醴陵瓷器的转折点。空格后的部分是一个非限制性定语从句，空格处应该填入关系代词代替前面的句子，在从句中作主语，应该用which。故填which。
26．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：醴陵的制瓷可追溯到汉代。空格处是句子的谓语动词，描述客观事实，用一般现在时；主语是Porcelain-making，谓语动词用三单形式。故填dates。
27．考查非谓语动词。句意：一个瓷瓶在1915年的巴拿马国际博览会上获得了金奖，使它闻名世界。句子已有谓语动词won，空格处应该用非谓语形式作状语，动词make与上文句子的内容之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语。故填making。
28．考查连词。句意：黄说：“虽然这不会让我们成为百万富翁，但在瓷器行业工作可以让我们过上舒适的生活，同时保留了我们祖先的技能和文化。”根据句意分析句子可知， 10 it doesn’t make us millionaires和working in the porcelain industry allows us to have a comfortable life while preserving the skills and culture of our ancestors是让步转折关系，所以空格处应该用连词引导让步状语从句。故填Though/Although/While。
