Paper
cutting is one of China's most popular folk arts. Archaeological (考古学上的) finds show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is
even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries
earlier.
Paper
cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of (摆脱) the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the
windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.
Paper
cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand. They are done all over China, but
are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making
paper cuts — by using scissors (剪刀) or knives. As the
name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of
paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with
pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on
a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with
a knife.
In
the past, paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use
scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach
blossoms, mice, fighting roosters (公鸡) and rabbits eating
carrots.
This
used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper
cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living
by working together in workshops.

A．About 600 years. B．About 1,500 years.
C．About 2,000 years. D．About 2,700 years.

A．family members of the artists B．sports and social activities
C．fights between animals D．things in our daily life

No
one can believe that the Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or
not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the
Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is
in danger. The Great Wall can be called "great" mostly because of its
amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick
at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of
separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The
Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different
dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of China's first
emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty, and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The
parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are
familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan in Gansu
because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far
away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few
local people knew the 3 metre high walls made of earth and stones beside them
are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the
main reasons.
The
bricks on the Great Wall were carried off by local countryside people to build
their houses, sheep corrals (畜栏) and pigsties (猪圈). Some were taken away to
build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrance (纪念). Rubbish is spread over the
battlements (城垛). The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who
destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear
about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The
local farmers not only carried off the body of the Great Wall but dug out the
entire base.
It
is necessary to preserve the Great Wall. The officials should be aware of the
importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation's
great civilization and learn to love it.
（1）The underlined part in Paragraph 2 refers to the parts of the Great Wall ________.
A．that are too difficult to understand
B．that nobody can watch
C．that are not well known to the public
D．that are too far to be seen
（2）What's the main reason for the Great Wall's being destroyed
A．The local people are short of cultural knowledge.
B．The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.
C．The local people think the Great Wall is not important.
D．The bricks of the Great Wall can be sold for money.
（3）Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear
A．It is useless from now on.
B．It will be replaced by a new one.
C．Some parts of it are being destroyed.
D．It's too old to be used once again.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，历史文化古迹--长城正在遭到破坏，由于人们对于古迹缺乏认识做了许多破坏性的事情，呼吁人们要保护好长城。
（1）考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years.”和画线部分的But可知，长城有些地方是向公众开放的景点，这当然为公众所熟悉；而那些不是景点的地方则不会为公众所熟悉。故选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段及第四段中的“Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning.”可知，长城被破坏的主要原因是当地人缺乏文化知识。故选A。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger.”和第四段中的“The bricks on the Great Wall were carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals (畜栏) and pigsties (猪圈). Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as rememberance (纪念). Rubbish is spread over the battlements (城垛). The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load.”可知，长城的很大一部分正在遭受破坏，所以作者说长城可能会消失。故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和词义猜测两个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行推理，归纳，从而选出正确答案。
