Nanjing Yunjin brocade is traditional Chinese silk art with a history of about 1,600 years. Its complex weaving techniques, various colors and patterns, and its particular choices of materials make it valuable and ancient people said, “An inch of brocade, an inch of gold.” Today, the traditional characteristics and unique skills of yunjin remain to be an award-winning art treasure. Its techniques are passed down from generation to generation by artisans.
Zhou Shuangxi, a national-level inheritor of yunjin weaving techniques, is one of them. Back in 1973, he graduated from a mining school and was selected to become a student at the NanjingYunjin Research Institute along with five other students, just because he was “in good shape”. There were only several masters in their 70s and not even a loom (织布机) to use. “The old masters finally remembered a loom was stored somewhere. When I opened the door, I saw what seemed like a pile of wood,” Zhou recalled.
“Weaving was difficult, but different from mining. Mining requires heavy physical labor, but working with the soft and thin silk requires studying and practicing in front of a loom for decades until you master the technique. My hands became quite awkward due to mining, so I used to put my hands in warm water whenever I could. In this way, they could become softer and weave the silk more easily,” he said.
Out of the six or so students, Zhou is the only one who has insisted on the trade to this day. Having devoted the past five decades to yunjin production despite all the sweat and struggles, he has developed his techniques to the point where he can weave the antique dragon robes in all their small details. He also made various artworks that not only show China's intangible cultural heritage but also serve as Zhou Shuangxi's artistic creations.
“I am lucky to be in such a good era and I have the honor of being a representative inheritor,” Zhou said.
4. What was Zhou's original impression of yunjin weaving techniques as a student
A. They faced an uncertain future. B. They were popular among the public.
C. They required much physical strength. D. They were closely related to his schooling.
5. Why did Zhou put his hands in warm water
A. To relieve the pain of mining. B. To make them much handier.
C. To gain an attractive appearance. D. To rest his hands and draw inspiration.
6. What kind of person is Zhou probably according to the text
A Determined and creative. B. Awkward and hesitant.
C. Encouraging and honest. D. Adventurous and sociable.
7. What's the text mainly about
A. The ups and downs of yunjin.
B. People's appreciation of a traditional art treasure.
C. Artisans' struggle to pass down traditional techniques.
D. A national-level inheritor of yunjin weaving techniques.
C
For eight-year-old Toby, who is deaf, watching films or TV can sometimes be a bit pointless, because so many of them don’t have sign language versions. “We have subtitles but it goes too fast,” his dad Jarod Mills said. But now, Toby has some help thanks to an app developed by a 17-year-old student, Mariella Satow, who created a signing app called SignUp.
She got the idea when she was teaching herself American Sign Language(ASL)—one of hundreds of sign languages used across the world. Manella wanted to watch TV shows to help her learn, and she was disappointed to discover how few had signed versions. It’s taken a year for Mariella to develop the technology, with lots of help from ASL teachers and the deaf community.
The app is available in the US as a browser extension—with an interpreter appearing in a box once the film starts playing. It only works on Disney Plus films at the moment, because that’s where Mariella thought she could help the most children. Jarod, who works at a school for deaf children, says it was “exciting” watching Toby use Mariella’s invention. He says, “Kids are getting information like any hearing child does.”
Deaf people in the UK face many of the same barriers when it comes to cinema and TV. “A hearing person can go to the cinema any time whereas deaf people have to make sure there’s a suitable viewing a time we’re free,” says 27-year-old Stacey Worboys from Cardiff. She has learned British Sign Language(BSL), and is comfortable using subtitles when watching TV shows and films. But she feels having an interpreter would make things “more inclusive”, especially for someone who might struggle with subtitles. Stacey and Toby aren’t the only people to be welcoming Mariella’s app. It’s now got thousands of users.
Stacey says a UK version of an app like SignUp would make films and TV “more accessible” for the deaf community. Mariella is up for the challenge—and hopes to make a British Sign Language version of her app for other streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. “There are more than 300 sign languages used worldwide, so it’ll take a long time to get all of those versions out,” she says.
8. Mariella created SignUp because of ______.
A. her awareness of Toby’s frustration B. the encouragement from her teachers
C. her childhood memories in a cinema D. lack of signed TV shows for the deaf
9. It can be inferred that Jarod holds a ______ attitude to Mariella’s invention.
A. negative B. favorable
C. neutral D. doubtful
10. What will be Mariella’s next challenge
A. To design a BSL version of the app. B. To update the app for cinemas.
C. To promote the use of her app worldwide. D. To launch a universal version of the app.
11. Which of the following words can best describe Mariella
A. Curious and fearless B. Talented and humorous
C. Creative and caring D. knowledgeable and humble
D
Many of us were told from an early age that, “you learn from your mistakes”. But is this actually true
The short answer is “yes” — failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we don’t like to fail. It doesn’t feel good, so we react to failure in impulsive and emotional ways, like giving up on a task prematurely, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. This is self-protective, according to Hallgeir, a professor of psychology at the Norwegian School of Economics. “Most of us want to think of ourselves as competent”, he says, so when we fail “it poses a serious threat to our self-image”.
Fortunately, there is research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure. One of them is to adopt a third-person perspective. Instead of asking “Why did I fail ”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail ”, for example. Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting a third-person perspective helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively.
A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same position as us. This strategy led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups — involving both adults and children — that were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors Eskreis-Winkler and Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others “forces people to engage with their experience and what they have learned”.
The writer Samuel Beckett once said: “fail again, fail better”. But it now seems that we should be saying: “fail again, fail smarter”. Failure is an unavoidable part of life, but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate (确定方向).
12. What does the underlined word “impulsive” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Uncontrollable. B. Optimistic. C. Impressive. D. Ambitious.
13. Why don’t we like to fail
A. Failure can be teachable.
B. Failure threatens our self-image.
C. Failure is an unavoidable part of life.
D. Learning from our failures is very hard.
14. Which of the following will the writer agree with
A. Failure can be avoided if we learn from it.
B. Giving advice to others can help us fail better.
C. Only those who succeed can give advice to others.
D. A third-person perspective helps us out of the bad feelings of failure.
15. What does the text focus on
A. Smarter ways to learn from failure.
B. How to fail better when we fail again.
C. Failure can let us succeed more easily.
D. Why we react to failure in emotional ways.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After his wife died, Ramu was left alone in this world. He was sixty-five years old. With time going by, Ramu’s sadness increased. The more he thought, the stronger his belief became that it was useless to live in this world anymore.
One morning, he went out for a walk and didn’t return to his home. His steps took him out of city and there he saw a bus. He took that bus. After a few hours, the bus was passing through a thick forest and stopped there for a break.
Ramu stepped out' of the bus and headed in a direction. After a while, he heard a voice from the bus calling for passengers to return but he decided not to return. He wanted to get lost in the thick forest.
In the thick forest, even during the day there was slight darkness. Ramu was walking as if he was not conscious (有知觉的). While walking, he went towards the side of a mountain. His steps suddenly stopped at a place where the mountain opened towards a valley below. There he saw the path was blocked by two sticks and a sign written in big letters—DANGER.
He couldn’t understand who would write this in such a thick forest. While looking around, Ramu walked a little further towards the valley, seeing a deep ditch (壕沟) ahead. At that moment, his heart trembled (颤抖).He sat aside, thinking how a moment ago he wanted to die but now he was scared.
With a calmed mind, he started wandering, looking for the person who did this. While wandering, he saw many signs. He saw DANGER/ BEWARE sign at many dangerous places and POISONOUS FRUITS sign was written on many trees.
He realized that if those signs were not put up, anyone could have fallen into one of those deep ditches and lost his life. Seeing all this, Ramu called out loudly, “Brother, who saved my life ! I want to see you.”
Just then, from behind the leaves, an old man appeared laughing and said, “I have been watching you for a long time. Tell me how did you come here ”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After telling the old man his story, Ramu asked, “What are you doing here ”

It got late, so the old man invited Ramu to his place so that he could return home the next day.

Dear Editor,
Knowing that our school English newspaper has launched a “Art of the Week” column recently, I would like introduce my favorite traditional art form, Peking Opera.
As one of the most influential art forms in China, Peking Opera is crowned as the pearl of Chinese culture. It is a form of audiovisual art that combines drama, dancing, mime, acrobatics and costumes, which could date back to Qing Dynasty. I highly like it because not only it enjoys a high reputation among us Chinese, but also it serves as a carrier of Chinese culture. By enjoying the performance of Peking Opera, people can better understand the traditional Chinese culture, and promote its inheritance and development.
I sincerely hope that you could take the art into consideration and feature Peking Opera in the column.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
After telling the old man his story, Ramu asked, “What are you doing here ” The old man replied that many years ago, while passing through this forest, his only son fell into a deep ditch hidden under grass and lost his life. Suddenly, the old man’s world went blank. Then he thought there must be more such dangerous places in this forest. So he decided to live here to help others. He wrote warnings at many dangerous places. This forest was not as dangerous as it had been before.
It got late, so the old man invited Ramu to his place so that he could return home the next day. The next morning, when Ramu woke up, the old man said, “Let me show you that path to go out of this forest.” Hearing this, Ramu refused to leave, saying, “I would like to stay here with you. As you say, there are still many places in this forest that need care. I have given up the intention of dying and learned that by staying alive, I can help others and save others from dying.” The old man smiled and accepted Ramu’s decision.

Nanjing Yunjin brocade is traditional Chinese silk art with a history of about 1,600 years. Its complex weaving techniques, various colors and patterns, and its particular choices of materials make it valuable and ancient people said, “An inch of brocade, an inch of gold.” Today, the traditional characteristics and unique skills of yunjin remain to be an award-winning art treasure. Its techniques are passed down from generation to generation by artisans.
Zhou Shuangxi, a national-level inheritor of yunjin weaving techniques, is one of them. Back in 1973, he graduated from a mining school and was selected to become a student at the NanjingYunjin Research Institute along with five other students, just because he was “in good shape”. There were only several masters in their 70s and not even a loom (织布机) to use. “The old masters finally remembered a loom was stored somewhere. When I opened the door, I saw what seemed like a pile of wood,” Zhou recalled.
“Weaving was difficult, but different from mining. Mining requires heavy physical labor, but working with the soft and thin silk requires studying and practicing in front of a loom for decades until you master the technique. My hands became quite awkward due to mining, so I used to put my hands in warm water whenever I could. In this way, they could become softer and weave the silk more easily,” he said.
Out of the six or so students, Zhou is the only one who has insisted on the trade to this day. Having devoted the past five decades to yunjin production despite all the sweat and struggles, he has developed his techniques to the point where he can weave the antique dragon robes in all their small details. He also made various artworks that not only show China's intangible cultural heritage but also serve as Zhou Shuangxi's artistic creations.
“I am lucky to be in such a good era and I have the honor of being a representative inheritor,” Zhou said.
4. What was Zhou's original impression of yunjin weaving techniques as a student
A. They faced an uncertain future. B. They were popular among the public.
C. They required much physical strength. D. They were closely related to his schooling.
5. Why did Zhou put his hands in warm water
A. To relieve the pain of mining. B. To make them much handier.
C. To gain an attractive appearance. D. To rest his hands and draw inspiration.
6. What kind of person is Zhou probably according to the text
A Determined and creative. B. Awkward and hesitant.
C. Encouraging and honest. D. Adventurous and sociable.
7. What's the text mainly about
A. The ups and downs of yunjin.
B. People's appreciation of a traditional art treasure.
C. Artisans' struggle to pass down traditional techniques.
D. A national-level inheritor of yunjin weaving techniques.
C
For eight-year-old Toby, who is deaf, watching films or TV can sometimes be a bit pointless, because so many of them don’t have sign language versions. “We have subtitles but it goes too fast,” his dad Jarod Mills said. But now, Toby has some help thanks to an app developed by a 17-year-old student, Mariella Satow, who created a signing app called SignUp.
She got the idea when she was teaching herself American Sign Language(ASL)—one of hundreds of sign languages used across the world. Manella wanted to watch TV shows to help her learn, and she was disappointed to discover how few had signed versions. It’s taken a year for Mariella to develop the technology, with lots of help from ASL teachers and the deaf community.
The app is available in the US as a browser extension—with an interpreter appearing in a box once the film starts playing. It only works on Disney Plus films at the moment, because that’s where Mariella thought she could help the most children. Jarod, who works at a school for deaf children, says it was “exciting” watching Toby use Mariella’s invention. He says, “Kids are getting information like any hearing child does.”
Deaf people in the UK face many of the same barriers when it comes to cinema and TV. “A hearing person can go to the cinema any time whereas deaf people have to make sure there’s a suitable viewing a time we’re free,” says 27-year-old Stacey Worboys from Cardiff. She has learned British Sign Language(BSL), and is comfortable using subtitles when watching TV shows and films. But she feels having an interpreter would make things “more inclusive”, especially for someone who might struggle with subtitles. Stacey and Toby aren’t the only people to be welcoming Mariella’s app. It’s now got thousands of users.
Stacey says a UK version of an app like SignUp would make films and TV “more accessible” for the deaf community. Mariella is up for the challenge—and hopes to make a British Sign Language version of her app for other streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. “There are more than 300 sign languages used worldwide, so it’ll take a long time to get all of those versions out,” she says.
8. Mariella created SignUp because of ______.
A. her awareness of Toby’s frustration B. the encouragement from her teachers
C. her childhood memories in a cinema D. lack of signed TV shows for the deaf
9. It can be inferred that Jarod holds a ______ attitude to Mariella’s invention.
A. negative B. favorable
C. neutral D. doubtful
10. What will be Mariella’s next challenge
A. To design a BSL version of the app. B. To update the app for cinemas.
C. To promote the use of her app worldwide. D. To launch a universal version of the app.
11. Which of the following words can best describe Mariella
A. Curious and fearless B. Talented and humorous
C. Creative and caring D. knowledgeable and humble
D
Many of us were told from an early age that, “you learn from your mistakes”. But is this actually true
The short answer is “yes” — failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we don’t like to fail. It doesn’t feel good, so we react to failure in impulsive and emotional ways, like giving up on a task prematurely, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. This is self-protective, according to Hallgeir, a professor of psychology at the Norwegian School of Economics. “Most of us want to think of ourselves as competent”, he says, so when we fail “it poses a serious threat to our self-image”.
Fortunately, there is research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure. One of them is to adopt a third-person perspective. Instead of asking “Why did I fail ”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail ”, for example. Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting a third-person perspective helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively.
A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same position as us. This strategy led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups — involving both adults and children — that were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors Eskreis-Winkler and Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others “forces people to engage with their experience and what they have learned”.
The writer Samuel Beckett once said: “fail again, fail better”. But it now seems that we should be saying: “fail again, fail smarter”. Failure is an unavoidable part of life, but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate (确定方向).
12. What does the underlined word “impulsive” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Uncontrollable. B. Optimistic. C. Impressive. D. Ambitious.
13. Why don’t we like to fail
A. Failure can be teachable.
B. Failure threatens our self-image.
C. Failure is an unavoidable part of life.
D. Learning from our failures is very hard.
14. Which of the following will the writer agree with
A. Failure can be avoided if we learn from it.
B. Giving advice to others can help us fail better.
C. Only those who succeed can give advice to others.
D. A third-person perspective helps us out of the bad feelings of failure.
15. What does the text focus on
A. Smarter ways to learn from failure.
B. How to fail better when we fail again.
C. Failure can let us succeed more easily.
D. Why we react to failure in emotional ways.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After his wife died, Ramu was left alone in this world. He was sixty-five years old. With time going by, Ramu’s sadness increased. The more he thought, the stronger his belief became that it was useless to live in this world anymore.
One morning, he went out for a walk and didn’t return to his home. His steps took him out of city and there he saw a bus. He took that bus. After a few hours, the bus was passing through a thick forest and stopped there for a break.
Ramu stepped out' of the bus and headed in a direction. After a while, he heard a voice from the bus calling for passengers to return but he decided not to return. He wanted to get lost in the thick forest.
In the thick forest, even during the day there was slight darkness. Ramu was walking as if he was not conscious (有知觉的). While walking, he went towards the side of a mountain. His steps suddenly stopped at a place where the mountain opened towards a valley below. There he saw the path was blocked by two sticks and a sign written in big letters—DANGER.
He couldn’t understand who would write this in such a thick forest. While looking around, Ramu walked a little further towards the valley, seeing a deep ditch (壕沟) ahead. At that moment, his heart trembled (颤抖).He sat aside, thinking how a moment ago he wanted to die but now he was scared.
With a calmed mind, he started wandering, looking for the person who did this. While wandering, he saw many signs. He saw DANGER/ BEWARE sign at many dangerous places and POISONOUS FRUITS sign was written on many trees.
He realized that if those signs were not put up, anyone could have fallen into one of those deep ditches and lost his life. Seeing all this, Ramu called out loudly, “Brother, who saved my life ! I want to see you.”
Just then, from behind the leaves, an old man appeared laughing and said, “I have been watching you for a long time. Tell me how did you come here ”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

After telling the old man his story, Ramu asked, “What are you doing here ”

Dear Editor,
Knowing that our school English newspaper has launched a “Art of the Week” column recently, I would like introduce my favorite traditional art form, Peking Opera.
As one of the most influential art forms in China, Peking Opera is crowned as the pearl of Chinese culture. It is a form of audiovisual art that combines drama, dancing, mime, acrobatics and costumes, which could date back to Qing Dynasty. I highly like it because not only it enjoys a high reputation among us Chinese, but also it serves as a carrier of Chinese culture. By enjoying the performance of Peking Opera, people can better understand the traditional Chinese culture, and promote its inheritance and development.
I sincerely hope that you could take the art into consideration and feature Peking Opera in the column.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
After telling the old man his story, Ramu asked, “What are you doing here ” The old man replied that many years ago, while passing through this forest, his only son fell into a deep ditch hidden under grass and lost his life. Suddenly, the old man’s world went blank. Then he thought there must be more such dangerous places in this forest. So he decided to live here to help others. He wrote warnings at many dangerous places. This forest was not as dangerous as it had been before.
It got late, so the old man invited Ramu to his place so that he could return home the next day. The next morning, when Ramu woke up, the old man said, “Let me show you that path to go out of this forest.” Hearing this, Ramu refused to leave, saying, “I would like to stay here with you. As you say, there are still many places in this forest that need care. I have given up the intention of dying and learned that by staying alive, I can help others and save others from dying.” The old man smiled and accepted Ramu’s decision.
