A
Ancient Chinese wore clothing that was lighter and thinner than modern imaginations can reach. Let us explore some examples of summer clothing from ancient China.
Sha Gown
A sha gown unearthed from Han Tomb No.1 at Mawangdui in 1972, is the earliest, most well-preserved and thinnest dress in the world. The plain gown, “thin as a cicada wing” and “light as smoke”, weighs 49 grams. It is only 25g with the sleeve openings and collar removed and can be folded into a matchbox. This piece represents the highest level of early Han in silk reeling and fabric manufacture.
Luo Robe
Well-suited for the humid southern regions of China, luo has larger holes in the fabric compared with sha, making it more lightweight and breathable. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, luo was mainly used for the clothing of the nobility, and only officials of fifth rank or higher were permitted to wear garments made of the material.
Ge Clothes
Silk fabric s such as sha and luo were highly valued and considered luxurious for common people. However, resourceful individuals discovered a method to use plant fibers though with some weight for clothing production, significantly reducing the cost of summer garments. Ge represents the earliest use of natural fiber as fabric in China.
Ma Clothes
Among the fabrics used for summer clothing in ancient times, ge cloth was known for its quality and affordability. However, fabric made from the herbaceous plant “ma” offered an even better combination of quality and cost-effectiveness. Since the Han Dynasty, ma has been cultivated on a large scale, making the cloth inexpensive. It is breathable and easy to dye, making it a commonly used fabric for summer clothing.

A. Sha Gown. B. Luo Robe. C. Ge Clothes. D. Ma Clothes.
2. What advantage did Ma Clothes have over Ge Clothes
A. Convenience. B. Price. C. Technology. D. Weight.
3. What do the four clothes have in common

C. They satisfied people’s need for quality. D. They were affordable to common people.

During my career in the past years, I’ve been fired a few times. The last time was about five years ago.
At the time, I co-owned a literary agency. I agreed to take on a giant project for a major client. I worked my tail off about a year, focusing just on this one client. Meanwhile my partner and associates took care of everyone else. We all thought it was a good bet. But in the end, the client fired me and cooperated with an agency who promised to get him a major book deal with a New York publishing house and an appearance on Oprah. I was left high and dry with nothing to show for my year-long investment.
The worst part was that I did not see it coming. I thought I had done a great job, and we had enjoyed a long-term personal relationship. But my client had his eye on bigger things and decided I couldn’t take him there, so he abandoned me without discussion.
The thing I finally learned from this experience was that clients and customers can be changeable. So never put all your eggs in one basket.
This wasn’t the only mistake I’d made in my career. Some of the mistakes I had made got me fired. That got my attention and furthered my education in the school of hard knocks.
Chances are that you are going to be fired at some point in your career. Last May, 1.7 million workers in America were laid off or fired. And according to the Labor Department, that was during month of generally good economic news. The trick — after being fired — is to try to push bitterness aside and learn from it. Failure can be a great teacher, but we have to listen.
4 Why did the author only focus on one project
A His client required him to do so.
B. He considered it would be a safe bet.
C. It can give him an appearance on Oprah.
D. There were no other projects in his agency.
5. Why was the author abandoned
A. He caused some trouble for his client.
B. His client wanted to teach him a lesson.
C. He couldn’t satisfy his client’s demands.
D. His client was afraid of destroying their friendship.
6. What lesson did the author probably learn
A. He should have spread his risk.
B. He should have tried his best to do better.
C. He shouldn’t have worked on giant projects.
D. He shouldn’t have made friends with his clients.
7. What did the author mainly write the text for
A. To show the importance of failure
B. To tell us how to face getting fired.
C. To share a most horrible experience.
D. To explain why people easily get fired.

The recent wildfires in California had negative effects on many communities, including the students and staff of Paradise High School in Paradise, Calif. Many students and staff members lost their homes in the fire, which either destroyed or significantly damaged eight of the nine school buildings in the district.
However, it wasn’t all bad news for the students and staff members, who were also the benefactors of an extremely generous businessman who saw an opportunity to help. That man was Bob Wilson, a 90-year-old real estate developer who decided that he was going to personally help each and every member of the school district.
Wilson, who also owns restaurants and does business out of San Diego, arrived at Paradise High School last week with two briefcases filled with $1,000 checks. Each of the check had a specific name on it: the name of a high school student or staff member at the school. Nobody was left out. Wilson’s gesture would be extended to 980 students along with 105 employees. Janitors (看门工), teachers, bus drivers, and office workers were all included.
Wilson even thought about the best way to go about giving out the gifts so that each person could get the maximum possible benefit from his generosity. Originally, he was working with local non-profit organizations so that he could purchase gift cards, but he thought better of it since he realized that cash would be more helpful to many. He decided to give out checks so that the recipients could spend the money as they see fit.
“I made the decision within two or three minutes of reading the news, that I would like to give these kids something,” Wilson explained to NBC News. “So they could have some good times and I could put a smile on their faces and maybe lift their spirits.”
8. How much did Wilson give out to the students and staff of Paradise High School
A. $105000. B. $980000.
C. Nearly $1100000. D. Almost $10000000.
9. Why did Wilson give out the money
A. To show his love of the school. B. To relieve the bad effect of wildfires.
C. To reward his old school. D. To enlarge the influence of his business.
10. What is the biggest benefit of the new way to give out
A. To satisfy various demands. B. To save more trouble.
C. To shorten delivery time. D. To reduce donation cost.
11. What newspaper section is the text probably taken from
A. Education. B. Entertainment. C. Nature. D. News.

In 2011, artist Grimanesa Amorós stepped off a boat made of totora reeds (芦苇) onto an island—also made of totora reeds — in the northwest portion of Lake Titicaca. It’s home to one of the world’s most innovative achievement of human engineering: the Uros Islands.
The man-made floating islands, which are home to the native Uros people, are created by putting layers upon layers of totora roots and reeds. This water-resistant plant grows in the lake and is the lifeblood of the Uros community. It is used to make boats, houses, roofs, mattresses (床垫) and more. The plant is also eaten and serves as medicine, and its flowers are used to make tea.
However, the Uros weren’t always dependent on the totora. More than 500 years ago, the growing Inca Empire began to invade the Uros’ mainland villages. To beat this threat, the Uros began to build the islands, which could be launched deep into Lake Titicaca, away from danger. Hundreds of years later, there are now about 120 of these constructed islands, with around 1,300 people living on them.
To build the islands, the Uros first gather large blocks of totora roots. Multiple blocks are pulled together, and the roots and reeds mix naturally to form a layer about 1 to 2m thick. The totora reed is laid on top of this floating base. The Uros use a long tool to reach deep down into the water and cut the plant above the base. Then, the reeds are dried in the sun for one to four weeks and bundled (捆绑) together using a rope. Once dried, totora reeds are placed in alternating directions on top of the root blocks and become the ground that the Uros walk and build their homes on.
Today, urban influences are evident on the islands: Solar panels power bedroom lights and small TVs; a radio station operates on the main island. It’s evident that these modern changes and tourism have changed the Uros’ life on the lake. One thing remains certain, though. As long as there is totora growing at Lake Titicaca, the islands’ rooted foundation will stay the same.
12. Which word can best describe the role totora reeds play in the Uro’s life
A. Essential. B. Symbolic. C. Protective. D. Sustainable.
13. What was the original purpose of building the floating island
A To develop tourism. B. To maintain their lifestyle.
C. To escape from enemies’ attack. D. To be separated from the world.
14. What does the fourth paragraph mainly focus on
A. The key to selecting building materials. B. The procedure of building the islands.
C. The difficulty of living on the island. D. The method of spotting reeds.
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. Fancy Lifestyles of the Uros B. Innovative Building Materials
C. Floating Homes on Lake Titicaca D. A Must-see Tourist Attraction of Lake Titicaca

【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Wilson even thought about the best way to go about giving out the gifts so that each person could get the maximum possible benefit from his generosity. Originally, he was working with local non-profit organizations so that he could purchase gift cards, but he thought better of it since he realized that cash would be more helpful to many. He decided to give out checks so that the recipients could spend the money as they see fit.(威尔逊甚至想到了最好的分发礼物的方式，以便每个人都能从他的慷慨中得到最大可能的好处。起初，他与当地的非营利组织合作，这样他就可以购买礼品卡，但他意识到现金对很多人更有帮助，于是他改变了主意。他决定发放支票，这样收款人就可以随心所欲地花这笔钱)”可知，Wilson最终决定使用发放支票的捐赠方式，因为这比礼品卡更方便，受赠人可以按照自己的需要花这笔钱；因此，这种新的捐赠发放方式最大的好处是能满足受赠人不同的需求。故选A。

D
In 2011, artist Grimanesa Amorós stepped off a boat made of totora reeds (芦苇) onto an island—also made of totora reeds — in the northwest portion of Lake Titicaca. It’s home to one of the world’s most innovative achievement of human engineering: the Uros Islands.
The man-made floating islands, which are home to the native Uros people, are created by putting layers upon layers of totora roots and reeds. This water-resistant plant grows in the lake and is the lifeblood of the Uros community. It is used to make boats, houses, roofs, mattresses (床垫) and more. The plant is also eaten and serves as medicine, and its flowers are used to make tea.
However, the Uros weren’t always dependent on the totora. More than 500 years ago, the growing Inca Empire began to invade the Uros’ mainland villages. To beat this threat, the Uros began to build the islands, which could be launched deep into Lake Titicaca, away from danger. Hundreds of years later, there are now about 120 of these constructed islands, with around 1,300 people living on them.
To build the islands, the Uros first gather large blocks of totora roots. Multiple blocks are pulled together, and the roots and reeds mix naturally to form a layer about 1 to 2m thick. The totora reed is laid on top of this floating base. The Uros use a long tool to reach deep down into the water and cut the plant above the base. Then, the reeds are dried in the sun for one to four weeks and bundled (捆绑) together using a rope. Once dried, totora reeds are placed in alternating directions on top of the root blocks and become the ground that the Uros walk and build their homes on.
Today, urban influences are evident on the islands: Solar panels power bedroom lights and small TVs; a radio station operates on the main island. It’s evident that these modern changes and tourism have changed the Uros’ life on the lake. One thing remains certain, though. As long as there is totora growing at Lake Titicaca, the islands’ rooted foundation will stay the same.
12. Which word can best describe the role totora reeds play in the Uro’s life
A. Essential. B. Symbolic. C. Protective. D. Sustainable.
13. What was the original purpose of building the floating island
A. To develop tourism. B. To maintain their lifestyle.
C. To escape from enemies’ attack. D. To be separated from the world.
14. What does the fourth paragraph mainly focus on
A. The key to selecting building materials. B. The procedure of building the islands.
C. The difficulty of living on the island. D. The method of spotting reeds.
15. What might be the best title for the text

C. Floating Homes on Lake Titicaca D. A Must-see Tourist Attraction of Lake Titicaca

(500多年前，日益壮大的印加帝国开始入侵乌鲁斯人的大陆村庄。为了克服这种威胁，乌鲁斯人开始建造岛屿，这些岛屿可以发射到的的喀喀湖深处，远离危险。)”可知，土著乌鲁斯人最初是为了对抗外敌的威胁才建的岛屿。故选 C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。 根据第四段中“To build the islands, the Uros first gather large blocks of totora roots. Multiple blocks are pulled together, and the roots and reeds mix naturally to form a layer about 1 to 2m thick. (为了建造这些岛屿，乌鲁斯人首先收集了大块的龙根。将多个块拉在一起，根和芦苇自然混合，形成约1至2米厚的层。)”可知，本段主要介绍建造这座岛屿的过程。故选 B。

51. 短文改错
Last week, a group of international students paid visit to our school to learn about our tea-drinking culture. They were taken to the tea room in our school which I introduced the history of tea making and different kind of tea. Then I showed them what to make tea. I sat at a table, explaining every step of the process while make tea. All of them were amazing and couldn’t wait to have a try. Soon the tea room became live with everyone trying to make our own tea. We had a lot of fun, practicing but enjoying the tea.
In the end, we took in a group photo to record this unforgettable experience.
【答案】1.在paid后a
2.which→where
3.kind→kinds
4.what→how
5.make→making
6.amazing→amazed
7.live→lively
8.our→his/their
9.but→and
10.去掉in
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是一群国际学生参观作者所在学校，并深入了解和学习了该校的饮茶文化的一次难忘经历。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意：上周，一群国际学生参观了我们学校，了解我们的饮茶文化。pay a visit to是固定短语，意为“参观”，故在paid后a。
2.考查定语从句。句意：他们被带到我们学校的茶室，在那里我介绍了制茶的历史和不同种类的茶。“I introduced the history of tea making and different kind of tea”是定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词tea room是地方，因此用关系副词where引导定语从句，故将which改为where。
3.考查名词的复数。句意：他们被带到我们学校的茶室，在那里我介绍了制茶的历史和不同种类的茶。different后要用名词的复数kinds，故将kind改为kinds。
4.考查特殊疑问词。句意：然后我教他们如何泡茶。根据语境可知，句子表示“然后我教他们如何泡茶”，“如何做某事”是how to do sth.，因此此处是how to make tea。故将what改为how。
5.考查时态，主谓一致和省略。句意：我坐在一张桌子旁，一边泡茶一边解释着每一个步骤。while引导的是时间状语从句，意为“当我在泡茶时”，句子描述过去的事情，时态用过去进行时，因此“当我在泡茶时”是while I was making tea，时间状语从句中主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，省略后为while making tea，故将make改为making。
6.考查形容词。句意：他们都很惊讶，迫不及待地想试一试。修饰主语All of them要用ed结尾的形容词amazed，意为“惊讶的”，故将amazing改为amazed。
7.考查形容词。句意：很快，茶室变得热闹起来，每个人都想泡自己的茶。live作为形容词时意为“现场直播的”，而此处表示“茶室变得热闹起来”，“热闹的”是lively，故将live改为lively。
8.考查物主代词。句意：很快，茶室变得热闹起来，每个人都想泡自己的茶。根据语境可知，此处表示“每个人都想泡他自己/他们自己的茶”，“他自己的”是his own，“他们自己的”是their own，故将our改为his/their。
9.考查连词。句意：我们玩得很开心，一边练习一边喝茶。practicing和enjoying之间是并列关系，句子是肯定句，因此用and表并列，故将but改为and。
10.考查介词。句意：最后，我们拍了一张合影来记录这次难忘的经历。根据语境可知，此处表示“我们拍了一张合影来记录这次难忘的经历”，“拍一张合影”是take a group photo，in是多余的，故去掉in。

Dear fellow students,
I am Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear fellow students,
I am Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union. Nowadays, most students don't do sports for kinds of reasons. They think that it is a waste of time and we may get injured in the process.
In my opinion, it is very necessary for us to take part in sports activities. First, by doing some sports, like playing football, ping pong and so on, we can relax ourselves from concentrating a long time in class. There is no doubt that when we get back to study, we can study better. Second, doing sports is good for our health, so we will be unlikely to fall ill. Third, doing sports can help us form a new hobby, like swimming, hiking and so on. In this way, our life will be more colorful.
In all, we can benefit a lot from doing exercise.
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Hua
