Chinese people love food made of flour, whether it be dumplings, or flatbread. In the hands of skilled artisans (手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure. This art form is called dough figurine (面塑). Among the various art styles of dough figurines, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city. Their fine and lovely handicrafts tell stories of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
It was created by Lang Shao’an. Most dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas. The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for display. Some are designed for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while others are fine pieces of artwork for display only. For this reason, during the process of making them, they are often mixed with additives (添加剂) to prevent them from breaking up, being eaten by insects or growing moldy. Over the course of his long career, Lang Shao’an developed a set of skilled fingers with an elegant artistic sense.
Lang Jiaziyu, born in 1995, is a third-generation inheritor of Dough Figurine Lang. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascot-shaped dough figurines which were highly praised. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans. In his skilled hands, pop culture icons such as figures based on Marvel comics characters and Chinese mythological figure Nezha with smoky makeup, resonate with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Many young people are unwilling to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.

A. It is a mirror of Beijing’s culture. B. It shows people’s love for animals.
C. It is created by many famous artists. D. It is the most popular folk art in Beijing.
25. Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines
A. To make dough figurines taste good. B. To make colors brighter and last longer.
C. To help shape dough into various forms. D. To better preserve the finished products.
26. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Suggestions for other folk artisans. B. Different art styles of dough figurines
C. Lang Jiaziyu’s achievements as an artisan. D. The popularity of modern dough figurines.
27. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To call on people to master a skill.
B. To appeal to people to value this folk art.
C. To teach people ways to appreciate the handicraft.
D. To persuade people to protect national cultural heritage.

“On Earth, something is always burning,” experts at the American space agency NASA said. They explain that a wildfire could be started naturally by lightning. However, sometimes people using controlled burns to clear land for farming can accidentally start a wildfire. Between 2003 and 2022, 85 percent of wildland fires in the U. S. were caused by human behavior. This includes leaving campfires burning, burning rubbish, throwing lit cigarettes and starting a fire on purpose.
Wildfires can clear dead and dying plants to help new growth. However, wildfires create large amounts of smoke which is dangerous to breathe. Wildfire smoke contains hundreds of chemical compounds. Smoke from burning houses and buildings contains even more toxic chemicals. An increasing amount of scientific research points to possible long-term health damage from breathing in very small particles (微粒) of smoke. There are short-term issues as well. At-risk people can be hospitalized and sometimes die from smoke.
Officials in the U. S. have been moving quickly to better protect people from the harmful effects of wildfire smoke. However they find it more difficult to communicate these dangers to people who live thousands of kilometers from the fires. Jeff Pierce is an atmospheric scientist. He said smoke loses its odor (气味), but remains harmful even when it travels long distances. A recent study found that people who live close to fires are more likely to be prepared.
If advised, avoid outdoor activities to reduce your exposure to smoke. Keep doors and windows closed. Run an air filter to clean the inside air. Face coverings, or masks, can protect against breathing in smoke. As with COVID-19, the most effective are N95 masks.
NASA satellite images show that wildfires are now burning on every continent. Large wildfires in Australia and the U. S. often attract the world’s attention. Dan Jaffe is a wildfire smoke expert at the University of Washington. He said, “These fires are going to be burning all summer. In terms of bad air quality, everywhere in the country will be worse than average this year.”
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A Different reasons for wild land fires. B. Certain damage caused by lightning.
C. The effect of human actions on nature. D. The necessity of environmental protection.
29. What does the underlined word “toxic” probably mean
A. Changeable. B. Organic. C. Poisonous. D. Pure.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Wind makes wildfire smoke travel very far.
B. The danger of wildfire smoke mainly comes from its odor.
C. People living far from the wildfire will suffer little harm.
D. Some people are not fully aware of the risks of wildfire smoke.
31. Why are people advised to wear N95 masks in the last paragraph
A. N95 masks can help filter the odor of smoke.
B. N95 masks can decrease the rates flu.
C. N95 masks can improve one’s respiratory condition .
D. N95 masks can block the smallest harmful particles.
D
Once again, China has conquered the world’s highest peak, Mount Qomolangma, on May 4th, 2022. Thirteen members of the Chinese Earth Summit Mission 2022 scientific expedition (探险) team successfully established an automatic weather station at an altitude of over 8800 meters, the world’s highest of its kind, on Mount Qomolangma on the China-Nepal border, achieving the milestone task of the country’s second comprehensive survey to the roof of the world.
To finish this mission, Yao Tandong, a leader of the expedition, said they have organized a massive party consisting of 16 teams and over 270 researchers, some of whom trained for over two years for the project. Now they have set up eight stations from 5200 meters to 8800 meters on Mount Qomolangma, with four stations higher than 7000 meters respectively at 7028 meters, 7790 meters, 8300 meters and 8800 meters. These weather stations at different altitudes mainly monitor the temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, pressure and radiation changes in the region, and can realize real-time remote transmission (传输) of data.
Conventional weather observations are generally below 5000 meters and rarely above 5000 meters, and such high-altitude weather observations are scarce at the moment, Zhao Huabiao, a researcher at the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, said. “The reason for building a weather station at 8800 meters instead of 8848 meters is that the snow and ice on the summit are not suitable for fixing equipment, and in this regard, the weather station was built on bedrock around 8800 meters which is easier,” said Zhao.
The team reached the summit of Mount Qomolangma and used high-accuracy radar to measure the thickness of ice and snow, and collected samples for further research. Kang Shichang, a researcher of the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said studying the changes to the glacier aims to clarify the impact of global warming, which is beneficial to mounting a global response to climate change. “Through the study of glacier changes and glacier air pollutants, we can see the impact of global and regional human activities in the Qomolangma area,” Kang said.
32. What do we know about the expedition team
A. They built the world’s highest automatic weather station.
B. They found the quickest way to reach Mount Qomolangma.
C. They conducted an experiment successfully on the world’s highest peak.
D. They became the first Chinese team to do research on Mount Qomolangma.
33. What do the figures in paragraph 2 mainly indicate
A. The importance of real-time data transmission.
B. The tough environment of Mount Qomolangma.
C. The difficulty of monitoring weather conditions.
D. The challenging task of the scientific expedition.
34. Why was the weather station built at 8800 meters instead of 8848 meters
A. To reduce the effect of strong winds.
B. To keep away from tough bedrocks.
C. To fix equipment more conveniently.
D. To predict the weather more accurately.
35. What does Kang Shichang intend to tell us about the glacier
A Its characteristics. B. Its value of research.
C. Its formation process. D. Its impact on climate change.

Cold December wind passed right through my worn coat. I might have wished to be at home, but those days it wasn’t much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off, but the power was cut off anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in person.
I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks, but it was a relief to get inside.
After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to him,” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting, and Mama sat on a bench nearby.
Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted. Santa reached in his pocket, pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two ” he asked. I pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her to come and talk to me ” he said.
Later, Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare ask about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all, really. But that was okay, especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:
Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box.

【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Between 2003 and 2022, 85 percent of wildland fires in the U. S. were caused by human behavior. This includes leaving campfires burning, burning rubbish, throwing lit cigarettes and starting a fire on purpose.(2003年至2022年间，美国85%的野火是由人类行为引起的。这包括让篝火燃烧，燃烧垃圾，扔点燃的香烟和故意生火)”可知，第一段的主要内容是导致野火产生的不同原因。故选A。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“Wildfires can clear dead and dying plants to help new growth. However, wildfires create large amounts of smoke which is dangerous to breathe. Wildfire smoke contains hundreds of chemical compounds. An increasing amount of scientific research points to possible long-term health damage from breathing in very small particles of smoke.(野火可以清除死亡和垂死的植物，帮助新的生长。然而，野火会产生大量的烟雾，呼吸起来很危险。野火烟雾含有数百种化合物。越来越多的科学研究指出，吸入非常小的烟雾颗粒可能对健康造成长期损害)”和划线句子中的even可知，房屋和建筑物燃烧产生的烟雾会含有更多的“有毒的”化学物质，对健康产生了更大的危害。因此划线词意为有毒的，和poisonous同义，故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Officials in the U. S. have been moving quickly to better protect people from the harmful effects of wildfire smoke. However, they find it more difficult to communicate these dangers to people who live thousands of kilometers from the fires. Jeff Pierce is an atmospheric scientist. He said smoke loses its odor, but remains harmful even when it travels long distances. A recent study found that people who live close to fires are more likely to be prepared.(美国官员已经迅速采取行动，更好地保护人们免受野火烟雾的有害影响。然而，他们发现很难将这些危险传达给距离火灾数千公里的人们。杰夫·皮尔斯是一位大气科学家。他说，烟雾会失去气味，但即使长距离传播，仍然有害。最近的一项研究发现，住在火灾附近的人更有可能做好准备)”可知，有些人并没有完全意识到野火烟雾的风险。故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In terms of bad air quality, everywhere in the country will be worse than average this year.(就糟糕的空气质量而言，今年全国各地的空气质量将比平均水平更差)”可知，N9口罩能有效阻挡最微小的颗粒，因此专家建议人们佩戴N95口罩，是为了起到过滤空气的作用。故选D。

Once again, China has conquered the world’s highest peak, Mount Qomolangma, on May 4th, 2022. Thirteen members of the Chinese Earth Summit Mission 2022 scientific expedition (探险) team successfully established an automatic weather station at an altitude of over 8800 meters, the world’s highest of its kind, on Mount Qomolangma on the China-Nepal border, achieving the milestone task of the country’s second comprehensive survey to the roof of the world.
To finish this mission, Yao Tandong, a leader of the expedition, said they have organized a massive party consisting of 16 teams and over 270 researchers, some of whom trained for over two years for the project. Now they have set up eight stations from 5200 meters to 8800 meters on Mount Qomolangma, with four stations higher than 7000 meters respectively at 7028 meters, 7790 meters, 8300 meters and 8800 meters. These weather stations at different altitudes mainly monitor the temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, pressure and radiation changes in the region, and can realize real-time remote transmission (传输) of data.
Conventional weather observations are generally below 5000 meters and rarely above 5000 meters, and such high-altitude weather observations are scarce at the moment, Zhao Huabiao, a researcher at the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, said. “The reason for building a weather station at 8800 meters instead of 8848 meters is that the snow and ice on the summit are not suitable for fixing equipment, and in this regard, the weather station was built on bedrock around 8800 meters which is easier,” said Zhao.
The team reached the summit of Mount Qomolangma and used high-accuracy radar to measure the thickness of ice and snow, and collected samples for further research. Kang Shichang, a researcher of the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said studying the changes to the glacier aims to clarify the impact of global warming, which is beneficial to mounting a global response to climate change. “Through the study of glacier changes and glacier air pollutants, we can see the impact of global and regional human activities in the Qomolangma area,” Kang said.
32. What do we know about the expedition team
A. They built the world’s highest automatic weather station.
B. They found the quickest way to reach Mount Qomolangma.
C. They conducted an experiment successfully on the world’s highest peak.
D. They became the first Chinese team to do research on Mount Qomolangma.
33. What do the figures in paragraph 2 mainly indicate
A. The importance of real-time data transmission.
B. The tough environment of Mount Qomolangma.
C. The difficulty of monitoring weather conditions.
D. The challenging task of the scientific expedition.
34 Why was the weather station built at 8800 meters instead of 8848 meters
A. To reduce the effect of strong winds.
B. To keep away from tough bedrocks.
C. To fix equipment more conveniently.
D. To predict the weather more accurately.
35. What does Kang Shichang intend to tell us about the glacier
A. Its characteristics. B. Its value of research.
C. Its formation process. D. Its impact on climate change.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. D

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。续 写的词数应为150左右。
Cold December wind passed right through my worn coat. I might have wished to be at home, but those days it wasn’t much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off, but the power was cut off anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in person.
I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks, but it was a relief to get inside.
After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to him,” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting, and Mama sat on a bench nearby.
Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted. Santa reached in his pocket, pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two ” he asked. I pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her to come and talk to me ” he said.
Later, Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare ask about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all, really. But that was okay, especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Daddy opened it to a man I’d never seen before. He was holding a big box. “this is for you and your family,” he said, “Merry Christmas!” The man was gone before Daddy even had a chance to invite him in. Daddy put the box on the table and opened it up. Inside was an envelope and a lot of food! Daddy read the letter from the envelope. “May you be happy!”
Paragraph 2:
Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box. The first thing was a big can of pork and beans. Buddy Earl’s eyes went wide. “An angel came to our door today,” Mama said as she pulled out a big box of Sugar Crisp. With gratitude, we had a happy Christmas. Not long after the festival, Daddy was called back to work. My sister recovered from her illness. I even received a new coat, which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者家里不富裕，由于姐姐生病和爸爸被解雇交不起电费被停电。作者和妈妈亲自去交电费，在商场见到了圣诞老人，圣诞老人和作者交谈后又和妈妈交谈，还在本上记录了些东西。圣诞节早上我们聚在圣诞树下，没有玩具也没有礼物。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：突然响起了敲门声，所以下文应该写谁来了，发生了什么事。是有人送来了一箱食物和一封信。第二段开头是：妈妈和爸爸对视了一下，她从盒子里打开了食物。本段应该写一家人看到了什么和节日后得到了哪些救济。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：had a chance , went wide , With gratitude, recovered from 等词语。Inside was an envelope and a lot of food!运用了倒装句；I even received a new coat, which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm.运用了定语从句。
