People perform graceful moves, all while standing on a bamboo pole on the river. You may think it's a scene from a martial arts movie, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: bamboo drifting(独竹漂).
Bamboo drifting dates back to over 2,000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bozhou District of Zunyi City was known for its high-quality nanmu. It was in urgent demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River, people had to stand on one log(原木) to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now, communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to get the hang of this act, bamboo drifting was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage.
Yang Liu is an inheritor(继承人) of bamboo drifting. She learned it from her grandmother when she was 7. Yang said the most challenging part of bamboo drifting was keeping one's balance. “I fell in the water many times when I was practising,” she said.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past nearly 20 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a delightful feel. In 2020, Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture,” she told China Daily.
1.Why did bamboo drifting replace wood drifting
A.The bamboo was cheaper. B.The bamboo was more beautiful.
C.The bamboo was more convenient. D.The bamboo was much easier to control.
2.What does the underlined phrase “get the hang of” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Prepare. B.Change. C.Master. D.Improve.
3.What is the most difficult part about bamboo drifting in Yang Liu's opinion
A.Designing moves. B.Transporting goods.
C.Choosing bamboos. D.Keeping the balance.
4.What can we infer about Yang Liu
A.She inherits bamboo drifting creatively.
B.She learned bamboo drifting very easily.
C.She has become the leader of bamboo drifting.
D.She began learning bamboo drifting at 17.
Ⅳ.七选五
As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. Many of us were told from an early age, “At school or in life, you learn from your mistakes.” Does this conflict with the reality
The short answer is “no”. 1 . Because we would not like to fail, learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard. It doesn't feel good. So we react to failure in intensely emotional ways, like giving up on a task easily, telling ourselves we don't care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. This is self-protective, according to Hallgeir Sjastad, a psychology professor. In his opinion, most of us want to think of ourselves as capable. 2 .
Fortunately there are strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers. 3 . Instead of asking “Why did I fail ”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail ”, for example. Multiple studies show this way helps to soften our negative emotional reactions. Also another outcome is that it allows us to look at failure more objectively.
4 . This 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. Professor Eskreis-Winkler 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 say, “Fail again, fail smarter.” 5 , but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate(驾驭).
A.Everyone needs success
B.Hard work leads to success
C.Failure can be a teachable moment
D.Failure is an unavoidable part of life
E.One of them is to adopt a third-person view
F.Next, offer advice to others in the same position as us
G.So what failure causes is a serious threat to our self-image

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。
Bales left the pavement of Base Road and stepped onto the snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire's Mount Washington. She had packed for almost every emergency and intended to walk alone.
She'd checked the weather forecast posted by Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two emergency plans and extra layers of clothing to better adjust her body temperature as conditions changed.
The hike up the lower part of the Jewell Trail was pleasant. Bales felt excited as she walked up into snowy paths. The sun shone through the trees and cast a shadow over her smiling face. Less than an hour later, loads of dark clouds had replaced the sunshine, and snow covered the surrounding trees.
She still smiled. However, the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers of clothing to shelter herself from the cold winds and thick fog. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge(山脊) toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day. Suddenly, she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her, which had been made by a pair of sneakers(运动鞋)—typically not the type for hiking.
Meanwhile, Bales was getting colder, even though she was moving fast and generating some body heat. With strong gusts of wind screaming and attacking her back, she decided to abandon her plan. However, the only thing that kept her on the trail was the sneaker tracks in the snow.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not.
Her searching now turned into rescuing the man.

2.动词;追赶 句意:她追赶那个偷了一位女士的购物袋的男子,最终抓住了他。
Ⅲ.1.from 考查介词。ban sb. from doing sth.表示“禁止某人做某事”,此处为其被动形式。故填from。
2.expansion 考查名词。分析句子可知,设空处作allow的宾语,空前为a rapid,所以此处应用名词单数,故填expansion。
3.a 考查冠词。fee为可数名词,使用单数形式时其前要加限定词;此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词。故填a。句意:如果你的卡丢失了,制作一张替换卡要收5英镑的费用。
4.consultations 考查名词。此处作had的宾语,故用名词,consultation表示“协商会”时为可数名词,又根据空前无限定词可知,设空处应为名词复数。故填consultations。句意:他们进行了秘密的协商会后才达成了每个队有一个代表的协议。
5.have been pursuing 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此句动作发生的时间为任何时代,即从古到今,再到将来,故用现在完成进行时。句意:无论处于什么时代,有志向的青年都一直在追求自己的梦想和事业。

Ⅰ.1.A 考查冠词。section在此处是可数名词,使用单数形式时其前要加限定词,此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词,key的发音以辅音音素开头。故填A。
2.were strengthened 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。设空处为谓语,主语relationships与动词strengthen之间是被动关系,根据and前的took shape可知,此处谓语动词应用一般过去时的被动语态;主语为复数形式,谓语动词也应用复数形式。故填were strengthened。
3.reaching 考查现在分词。分析句子可知,此处为with的复合结构,reach与the routes network之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填reaching。
4.to be transported 考查动词不定式。名词item被the only修饰,所以应用动词不定式作后置定语;动词transport与被修饰词item之间是被动关系,所以应用动词不定式的被动形式。故填to be transported。
5.as 考查介词。固定搭配serve as意为“充当……;起……的作用”。故填as。
6.which 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前为名词短语cultural exchange,所以推测设空处引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,先行词指物,所以用关系代词which。

8.introduction 考查名词。根据空前的the和空后的of可知,设空处应用名词。故填introduction。

Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了篆刻的发展、意义以及对其的保护。

2.becoming 考查现在分词。句意:然而,随着中国文字的日益标准化和简化,使用小篆雕刻印章成了一种传统。此处为with的复合结构,Chinese writing与become在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填becoming。
3.a 考查冠词。句意:在古代,印章被视为真实性的一种保证。guarantee为可数名词,此处泛指一种保证,应用不定冠词,且guarantee的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
4.than 考查介词。句意:如今,它们与其说是艺术品不如说是法人的授权标志。more...than...表示“与其说……不如说……”。故填than。
5.strictly 考查副词。句意:秦朝以后,印章材料被严格分类。设空处修饰were classified,应用副词。故填strictly。
6.officers/officials 考查名词。句意:玉只为皇帝所用,金和银为高级官员所用,铜为低级官员所用。此处指多个官员,用名词复数形式。故填officers或officials。
7.which 考查定语从句。句意:从宋朝开始,人们使用各种各样的石头,这导致了篆刻的繁荣。分析句子可知,设空处无提示词,逗号后部分缺少主语,故推测设空处引导非限制性定语从句且在从句中作主语,先行词为前面的整个主句,故填which。
8. Earlier 考查副词比较级。句意:此前,篆刻只能由工人完成。根据句意可知,此处表示“早些时候”,用副词比较级作状语,故填Earlier。
9.involved 考查固定短语。get involved in...表示“参与……”,故填involved。
10.was included 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:为保护这一艺术瑰宝,中国篆刻于2009年被列入联合国教科文组织《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》。设空处作谓语,主语Chinese seal carving与include之间为被动关系,根据“in 2009”可知,此处应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语表单数意义。 故填was included。
【高频词汇】 1.originate v.起源 2.character n.文字 3.standardize v.使标准化 4.guarantee n.保证;担保
5.authority n.批准;授权 6.classify v.把……分类
7.get involved in... 参与……
【差距词汇】 intangible adj.无形的
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非物质文化遗产独竹漂的历史和传承。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,到了清代,由于竹子的价格低于楠木,所以独“木”漂变成了独“竹”漂。故选A。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据画线短语前的“Due to the great strength and balance it takes”和下一段中的“Yang said the most challenging part of bamboo drifting was keeping one's balance.”可知,独竹漂需要很强的力量和平衡能力才能掌握。get the hang of意为“掌握”。故选C。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第四段第三句可知,她认为就独竹漂而言最具有挑战性的部分是保持身体平衡。故选D。
4.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一、二句可知,在传播独竹漂的文化的过程中,杨柳产生了新的想法。例如,她将舞蹈与独竹漂联系起来,使其更加优雅,表演时穿着汉服,营造出一种赏心悦目的氛围。由此可推断,她创造性地继承了这一古老的技艺。故选A。
【高频词汇】 1.scene n.场面;景色 2.date back to追溯到 3.in demand需求大 4.due to由于 5.strength n.力气,力量 6.balance n.平衡能力 7.challenging adj.具有挑战性的 8.register v.注册;登记
长难句
原句 For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a delightful feel.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。“to make it more graceful”为不定式短语作目的状语,此处为“make+宾语+宾补”结构;“when performing”为时间状语从句的省略形式,省略了“she is”;“creating a delightful feel”为现在分词短语作状语。
译文 例如,她将舞蹈与独竹漂联系起来,使独竹漂更加优雅,而且她表演时穿着汉服,营造出一种赏心悦目的氛围。
Ⅳ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何克服自己的情绪障碍,学会从失败中吸取经验和教训,从而获得进步。
1.C 根据第一段中的“‘At school or in life, you learn from your mistakes.' Does this conflict with the reality ”和第二段中的“The short answer is ‘no'.”可知,人们是可以从错误和失败中学习的,C项“Failure can be a teachable moment”表达了这层含义,是对前文的进一步说明,符合语境。故选C。
2.G 根据上一句“In his opinion, most of us want to think of ourselves as capable.”可知,G项“So what failure causes is a serious threat to our self-image”进一步说明了失败破坏了人们认为自己有能力的想法,使自我形象受到了严重的威胁,同时也解释了人们对失败产生情绪化反应的原因,衔接合理,与本段主题相符。故选G。
3.E 根据上一句“Fortunately there are strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers.”可知,E项“One of them is to adopt a third-person view”承接上文,介绍了其中一个策略的内容,them指代上一句中的“strategies”;结合下文“Instead of asking ‘Why did I fail ’, we could ask ‘Why did Sam fail ’, for example.”可知,下一句是对E项的举例说明,E项引起下文。故选E。
4.F 第三段主要介绍了帮助人们克服情绪障碍的一个策略,由下文中的“give advice based on their own failures...forces people to engage with their experience and what they have learned”可知本段介绍第二个策略,就是基于自己的经历,给人提出建议,F项“Next, offer advice to others in the same position as us”符合语境。下一句中的“This”指代F项的内容,介绍了给别人提出建议的策略所产生的效果,符合语境。故选F。
5.D 根据下文“but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it...”可知,前后文为转折关系,D项“Failure is an unavoidable part of life”指出失败不可避免,与下文语意衔接合理,呼应文章主题。故选D。
【高频词汇】 1.react to...对……作出反应 2.find fault with...挑……的毛病 3.psychology n.心理学
4.capable adj.有能力 5.barrier n.障碍;阻力
6.academic adj.学业的,学术的 7.involve v.包含;影响

Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not. If she chose to follow the tracks, she'd add time and risk to her hiking. But the tracks ahead suggested someone might be in danger. She couldn't let this go. She called out to the freezing fog, “Is anybody out there Do you need help ” The strong winds carried her voice away. Then she walked cautiously in the direction of the tracks. She rounded a corner and spotted a man lying motionlessly.
Her searching now turned into rescuing the man. She approached him instantly and found he was suffering from frostbite on his feet. Without any hesitation, she covered his body with warm clothes, and then poured him some sugary drinks. The wind roared and they would die soon if they didn't get out of there. She supported the man and inched along the trail. With great efforts, Bales managed to save the man's life. Exhausted, she felt that it was all worth it.
