Yu Zeling，an award-winning master of paper cutting，fills her studio with ①cutouts of animals，people，and scenes that are so vivid that they seem to leap from the walls.Her art covers village life in Ansai，a rural district in Shaanxi Province.
Ms Yu came to paper cutting in the late 1970s as naturally as she breathed the ②earthy air.“We were very poor，and when it was time to celebrate the New Year，we all put paper-cuts on the windows to decorate our houses，” she says，recalling the holiday at her childhood home.Ms Yu and others are working to keep the folk art alive，even as it evolves away from its roots as adornment for farmhouses.
The art originated in China in the centuries after paper was invented in A．D.105.Full of auspicious(吉利的) symbols from daily life，the decorations represented good weather，many offspring，long life，wealth，and happiness.
Using newspaper，Ms Yu first practiced cutting the image of a Chinese national flag that she saw in a school textbook.She cut it 100 times before she was satisfied.Then her aunt took over，introducing her to increasingly complicated traditional themes.
Ms Yu was later invited to train in the Ansai’s Cultural Center.After years of training，Ms Yu became a master in her own right，winning one award after another.Her works are on display in museums.But she’s humble about her achievements.“I was，and still am，a farmer，” she says with a smile.
Hoping to carry on and grow the folk art，Ms Yu volunteers to teach at free community training sessions.Paper cutting is also taught in Ansai’s public schools.Ms Yu is aware of the need to go beyond protecting traditions and embrace new paper-cut experiments.

On March 6,2024，a report revealed that in 2023 the order volume of horse-face skirts—a type of hanfu，the traditional style of clothing worn by the Han people—among female users ①skyrocketed by 841 percent compared to the previous year.
“I’ve noticed that there are so many people wearing horse-face skirts on the streets now，from young women to children；it’s unbelievable，” said Wang Zicheng，a 23-year-old hanfu enthusiast.
He recalled that when he wore hanfu for the first time in 2018 at his coming-of-age ceremony，it was still a minority interest.Now，he is confident wearing it everywhere，even outside of China.
As hanfu gains popularity，traditional attire(服装) and modern fashion are merging(融合)，influencing not only clothing styles but also cultural perceptions and people’s understanding.
Some hanfu enthusiasts argue that each design and structural form of hanfu carries distinct historical and cultural significance，insisting that these details should be adhered to(遵循) strictly.However，other consumers prioritize the aesthetic(美感) and comfort of the clothing.
Zhou Shuang,37，②specializes in character styling for film and television.She pointed out that for those unfamiliar with traditional clothing culture，it’s ③understandable for them to desire a mixture of classical elegance with modern fashion.
This combination is referred to as the neo-Chinese style.“Neo-Chinese style clothing design doesn’t merely layer traditional elements，but combines modernity and tradition naturally，” explained Zhou.“It aims to showcase traditional charm that resonates with(与……产生共鸣) the aesthetic preferences of today’s Chinese.”
Despite the growing hanfu trend in China，there remains a lack of understanding among people abroad.According to Wang，he traveled to a dozen countries while wearing hanfu.
“They guessed about the origin of my clothes...，but none correctly identified that it’s from China，” Wang said.He believed this is because people in other countries have few chances to see authentic hanfu clothes and accessories.
A potential solution could be integrating hanfu into everyday attire.Indeed，Zhou’s students are currently exploring ways to preserve hanfu’s cultural heritage while accommodating the demands of daily fashion choices.
5．What does Wang Zicheng’s experience detailed in paragraphs 2－3 reflect
A．The diversity of hanfu enthusiasts.
B．The cultural significance of hanfu.
C．The reasons for hanfu’s popularity.
D．The increasing recognition of hanfu.
6．According to Wang，why was his hanfu not correctly identified when he was traveling
A. His hanfu did not represent a typical style.
B．Western tourists show little interest in hanfu.
C．People abroad were unfamiliar with hanfu culture.
D．Hanfu has mixed clothing styles from other countries.
7．What are Zhou’s students doing now
A. Cooperating with daily fashion designers.
B．Protecting traditional hanfu in a modern way.
C．Promoting traditional Chinese clothing abroad.
D．Studying the historical evolution of the hanfu style.
8．What is the best title for the passage
A. Hanfu：④Reshaping Modern Fashion
B．Ancient Fashion：the Forgotten Beauty of Hanfu
C．Hanfu：an Evolutionary Journey Through Centuries
D．Hanfu vs Modern Fashion：a Symbol of Chinese Nationalism

What is heritage The word can be difficult to define.Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years. 1 It can also be the customs，traditions，and values shared by groups of people.One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups.These are the tangible(有形的)，the natural，and the ①intangible.
2 It can include many human-made objects that ②hold cultural value.Some examples are national monuments and works of art.Many ancient sites are also part of this group.On a smaller scale，a family home can be part of an individual’s heritage.
Many parts of the natural world are also important to cultural heritage.This can include bodies of water，plant life，landforms and more.One example is the Nile River. 3 Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in many cultures.
The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can’t feel through touch.Maybe you’ve read about forms of dance，like Flamenco dancing.You might know about the music of Mariachi Bands.These are all examples of intangible heritage. 4
Exploring your own heritage can be fun.It can help you learn about yourself，your family，and your ancestors.But it’s also important to learn about the heritage of others. 5 It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others!
A．They are treasures that can be touched.
B．What tangible items can be part of heritage
C．However，heritage isn’t limited to concrete objects.

Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways.For instance，almost all animals have distinct vocals(声音) that they rely on to either ask for help，scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter.But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills.They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you’re able to interpret it.If a pet cat is hungry，it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food.However，when a cat is looking for affection，they tend to produce stretched and soft meows.Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed.
Cats have many ①heightened senses，but their sense of smell is quite impressive.They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger.They will ②sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax.However，another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells.Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future.That’s why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats，which they don’t usually like.
Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit，but cats take this behavior up a notch.Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners.This is a very old habit that’s been present in all kinds of predators(食肉动物)．Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you.These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it’s been in their ③nature since the beginning of time.So just go along with it!

The birth of a male white-tailed eagle ①signals the success of the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation (RDWF) and Forestry England project to return these iconic birds to their original widespread locations along the southern coast of England.The last time a white-tailed eagle chick grew in England，Mozart was working on his opera Idomeneo in Germany.
For two centuries these amazing birds were missing from most of the UK，having been wiped out by human persecution by the early 20th century.
In 2020，the parents of the landmark bird were ②translocated from the Outer Hebrides and north-west Sutherland in Scotland to the Isle of Wight.This is an area with plentiful food to sustain them.It is also a location from which the birds could spread out to cliffs，lakes and forests.
Female G405 and male G471 were two of 25 eagles (16 are still alive) released by the RDWF and Forestry England as part of the ongoing project.And they are one of three pairs to have now established breeding territories in the south of England.
The chick hatched earlier this summer at a nest on private land，the exact location of which is being kept a secret to ensure the welfare of the young bird.
“This is a very special moment for everyone who has worked on，supported and followed this groundbreaking project，” Roy Dennis says，founder of the RDWF.“Restoring a breeding population in southern England，where the species was once widespread，has been our ultimate goal.Seeing the first pair reach this stage is truly incredible.”
The young white-tailed eagle has now been ringed and fitted with a satellite tag(标签) so that its progress can be tracked.A further release of young white-tailed eagles is planned for late summer from the project team’s base on the Isle of Wight.
5．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Mozart in paragraph 1
A. To admire the musician’s great works.
B．To celebrate the birth of the white-tailed eagle.
C．To compare the situations of England and Germany.
D．To emphasize white-tailed eagles’ centuries-long absence.
6．What does the underlined word “persecution” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Damage. B．Exploration.
C．Disturbance. D．Training.
7．Why is the accurate position of the chick kept secret
A．For privacy. B．For safety.
C．For territory. D．For support.
8．Which may be a suitable title for the text
A. A Splendid Bird
B．A Successful Wildlife Project
C．Milestone for White-tailed Eagles
D．Restoring a Breeding Population

The harsh winters and modern cities can make life tough for a wild animal，especially when they get lost and are outside their natural habitat for too long.Animal shelters are crowded with animals in ①desperate need of help，especially during the winter season. 1
One day，a man found a small owl(猫头鹰) that was soaking wet and appeared to be struggling.He brought it into a local shelter. 2 The little owl was unable to fly，not because of an injury，but because it was too fat.
The owl weighed 245 grams，which was 33% more than the upper limit of what an owl that size should weigh.The reason for the weight gain was quite natural.The owl was eating too much.The winter had been unusually warm，and as a result，the area had a higher than normal population of mice. 3 So it got carried away.
The shelter staff put the owl on a ②systematic plan of diet and exercise，and it started to lose weight quickly.After some time，the owl was back to its normal health and was released back into the wild.
The question of whether this obesity issue is a strange result of climate change or just a coincidence(巧合) is difficult to say. 4 Wild animals are not used to living in modern cities，and they often struggle to survive.Luckily，there are many animal shelters that offer refuge for these animals.These shelters help restore them to their natural condition and put them back into the wild.
5 Some focus on specific animals，such as owls，while others focus on a particular region.However，they all have the same goal—to provide a safe haven for wild animals.
A．Different types of animal shelters have different purposes.
B．Animal shelters are not just a place for injured or sick animals.
C．This meant that it was like an all-you-can-eat buffet for the little owl.
D．They are really important when animals struggle to survive in cold weather.
E．After a thorough check-up，the shelter staff found out that it was not injured at all.
F．However，it is clear that it is vital to care for wild animals and to ensure their safety.
G．However，recently，a wild animal was brought to a shelter for a very different reason.

The Kiebels prepared a bed for the dogs in their warm home，where the 8 animals lay together.However，already having a dog，the Kiebels couldn’t 9 to keep new ones.The next day，Katie took the dogs to the shelter—on one condition.“I’m not 10 the dogs over to you if you’re going to separate them，” she said.The shelter workers promised to keep the couple together.Soon after Christmas，the beagles were 11 —as a 12 ，to a loving family.
It’s a simple story，but it speaks to the 13 of our nature.And when 14 and love ②triumph over cruelty and neglect，it can feel like the greatest 15 of all.

答案精析
Ⅰ.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫通过叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物来表达需求、评估环境和展示爱意。
1．A [推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二、三句可知，宠物猫通过叫声吸引注意力、获取食物和寻求关爱；最后一句指出猫从一出生就用叫声吸引猫妈妈的注意，并得到食物。综上可知，猫叫声是一种生存技能。故选A。]
2．C [细节理解题。根据第二段中“They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger.”可知，宠物猫通过检查气味来评估不同情况。故选C。]
3．D [词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit...”可知，狗擅长取回东西，画线部分所在句的下文提到猫会从外面给它们的主人带回礼物来表达它们对主人的爱，这是它们与生俱来的本能，由此可知，在从外面带回物品这方面，猫将这一行为提到了一个更高的层次。do better与画线部分意思最接近。故选D。]
4．B [标题归纳题。综合全文内容可知，文章介绍和解释了猫的各种行为方式，包括叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物的习惯，以及这些行为背后的原因和意义。由此可知，“Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior”适合作本文标题。故选B。]
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一只雄性白尾鹰的出生是恢复英国白尾鹰繁殖的里程碑。
5．D [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The last time a white tailed eagle chick grew in England，Mozart was working on his opera Idomeneo in Germany.”和第二段中的“For two centuries these amazing birds were missing from most of the UK”可推知，作者在第一段中提到莫扎特是为了强调白尾鹰已经消失了几个世纪。故选D。]
6．A [词义猜测题。根据第二段“...were missing from most of the UK，having been wiped out by human”可推知，此处指这种鸟类因人类的迫害而消失，故画线词“persecution”意为“迫害”，与Damage意思相近。故选A。]
7．B [细节理解题。根据第五段中的“the exact location of which is being kept a secret to ensure the welfare of the young bird”可知，将雏鹰的准确位置保密是为了确保其安全。故选B。]
8．C [标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段中的“The birth of a male white tailed eagle signals the success...return these iconic birds to their original widespread locations along the southern coast of England.”可知，文章主要介绍了一只雄性白尾鹰的出生是恢复英国白尾鹰繁殖的里程碑。C项“白尾鹰的里程碑”最适合作文章标题。故选C。]

语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章通过一个具体的例子——一只过胖的猫头鹰被送到动物收容所进行救治，最终恢复健康并被放归野外——来说明动物收容所在保护野生动物方面的重要作用。
1．G [根据上文“The harsh winters and modern cities can make life tough for a wild animal...in desperate need of help，especially during the winter season.”可知，上文描述了野生动物因为难以生存而被带到收容所，结合下文讲到一只猫头鹰因为过胖被送去收容所可推知，空处和上文应形成转折关系，G项指出有一只野生动物却因为不同的原因而被送到收容所，符合语境。故选G。]
2．E [根据下文“The little owl was unable to fly，not because of an injury，but because it was too fat.”可知，小猫头鹰没有受伤。E项指出全面的检查证明它没有受伤，且选项中“it was not injured at all”与下文中“not because of an injury”对应，符合语境。故选E。]
3．C [根据上文“The winter had been unusually warm，and as a result，the area had a higher than normal population of mice.”可知，今年老鼠的数量高于平均水平，这意味着猫头鹰的食物变多了，C项承接上文，符合语境。故选C。]
4．F [根据上文“The question of whether this obesity issue is a strange result of climate change or just a coincidence(巧合) is difficult to say.”和下文“Wild animals are not used to living in modern cities，and they often struggle to survive.”可知，F项与上文形成转折，并指出照顾野生动物的必要性，引起下文，符合语境。故选F。]
5．A [根据下文“Some focus on specific animals，such as owls，while others focus on a particular region.”可知，下文主要介绍了不同收容所的目的，A项引起下文，符合语境。故选A。]
Ⅲ.

2．A [companion同伴，伴侣；company公司；friend朋友；effort努力。根据上文“the homeless couple”可知，这位准爸爸是给自己的伴侣寻找可以安全过夜的地方。故选A。]
3．D [scare使害怕；attract吸引；appeal呼吁；spot发现。根据下文“he placed the dogs in his truck”可知，Gus Kiebel是发现了这两只动物。故选D。]
4．B [frighten使惊吓；approach接近；attract吸引；appeal呼吁。根据下文“out his hands to the beagles(比格犬)，which made no effort to escape”可知，Gus是下车接近这两只动物。故选B。]
5．D [put放；lay放置；make制作；stretch伸出。根据下文“out his hands to the beagles(比格犬)”以及“Then，he placed the dogs in his truck.”可知，Gus向比格犬伸出手。故选D。]

A
Being an opinion writer and journalist，I was always demanded that I make a public statement about hot issues online.The voices yelling at me and anyone else who failed to post seemed to believe that not making a statement was itself a statement—and an ①immoral one，at that.
On social media，people take a position that results in positive comments but reduces complex issues to a simple yes or no.Taking simplistic ②stands can also lead to twisting words.This kind of simple thinking is deeply unserious and further fuels hatred(敌意)，changing personal opinions into ③extremism and mistaking the expressions of anger for brave action in the face of horror.
These loud，④reductive declarations reflect genuine fear about horrors that lie beyond words.Simple binaries imply simple solutions.And it’s much more pleasant to tell yourself you stand on the side of good，against evil，than to question whether the lines of boundaries were drawn correctly.
Sitting with uncertainty is hard，especially when social media has urged us to expect perfect real-time information during unfortunate events and immediate answers and resolution.Moral certainty is a point we stand on when factual certainty is not possible.And the faster we express it，the more certain we appear.
Such thoughtless posts are not what bother me most，though.Instead，it’s the idea that not posting is wrong somehow—that everyone needs to speak，all the time.It discourages shutting up and listening and letting the voices that matter the most be heard over the noise.It suggests that having any doubts about what’s happening or forming moral conclusions that don’t make sense to share on social media is unacceptable.
I do have opinions，of course，but they don’t fit on social media.While I’ve regretted posting half-formed thoughts too quickly，I’ve never regretted waiting until I was less angry or not posting at all.
1．What does the author think of people’s quick posts on hot issues
A．Positive. B．Irresponsible.
C．Uncaring. D．Unkind.
2．What do paragraphs 3 and 4 try to explain
A. Reasons why people rush to post opinions.
B．Ways people use to express ideas.
C．Means by which people solve difficult problems.
D．Facts on which people base their judgement.
3．What upsets the author most
A. Too many posts online.
B．Too much false information.
C．People’s judgement on not posting.
D．People’s unawareness of current issues.
4．What message does the author really convey
A. It’s useless to post ideas on social media.
B．It’s better to keep silent than blindly follow suit.
C．Everyone has the right to voice his opinion.
D．Everyone must guard network security.

Since the growth of online streaming services，subtitling(加字幕) has become something of an art.
Subtitles started out as an accessibility feature for deaf audiences，and to translate foreign language films into your own.Of course，it’s not just deaf audiences that subtitles help.The translated subtitles of foreign films are great for learning languages，letting you read and hear how it’s pronounced at the same time.Movie subtitles are written ahead of time，but subtitling for live TV has to be done in the moment as the person is speaking，so mistakes are likely to happen.But because subtitles can be everything，from monster squelches(扑哧声) to bombs exploding，it’s a great way to learn many things，such as new adjectives.
Subtitler Karli Witkowska explained how her choice of adjective creates emotion for the audience.Karli belongs to a team of subtitlers who try to make their descriptions as close as possible to the sounds they hear.Karli bases her descriptions on the film’s type.The sound effects needed for a ①thriller like Stranger Things—creaking(嘎吱作响的) stairs and sudden screams—are very different from the sounds used in historical period dramas.This influences the adjective Karli chooses to describe a sound.For example，light-hearted and cheerful music might be described as jaunty—full of energy and confidence.
Another time，her team found exactly the right expression “gobsmacked silence”．In this scene，the characters were about to gasp—take in a short，sudden，and quick breath of air without speech or sound.“So when my colleague came up with that one，I definitely gave him a big ②thumbs-up，” she said.
In fact，the phrase “gobsmacked silence” is so good that it goes viral and is being used in all kinds of situations.
5．What does the writer want to convey about subtitling in paragraph 2
A．It helps solve learning problems.
B．It helps people to stay concentrated.
C．It can be important and challenging.
D．It improves ability of understanding.
6．Which emotion does “gobsmacked silence” possibly express
A．Sad. B．Hopeful.
C．Disappointed. D．Surprised.
7．What does Karli think of her teammate’s work
A．It needs improving. B．It’s well done.
C．It makes her speechless. D．It’s very popular.
8．Which of the following statement will Karli possibly agree with
A. Subtitling is difficult but fashionable.
B．Subtitlers are often some strange persons.
C．Subtitlers are those who create new words.
D．Subtitling involves translating sounds accurately.

What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current ①educational landscape The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms. 1 Such people，however，have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom ②irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.
The Internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. 2 Knowing that “tomato is a fruit” is information，and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom.This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life.Books and the Internet can give you information，but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. 3
Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weakness while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.
You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. 4 But videos are made for a general audience.They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom.Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.
5 While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article，these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.
A．Wisdom，however，is something that it badly lacks.
B．Every single student is unique in his or her own way.
C．Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.
D．On this point，the importance of teachers should never be understated.
E．Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the Internet.
F．Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.
G．These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.

答案精析
Ⅰ.
语篇解读 本文是议论文。文章主要介绍作者认为在对待网络上的热点问题时，与其盲从，不如保持沉默。
1．B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This kind of simple thinking is deeply unserious and further fuels hatred(敌意)，changing personal opinions into extremism and mistaking the expressions of anger for brave action in the face of horror.”可知，作者认为人们在热点问题上的快速跟帖不够严肃，是不负责任的。故选B。]
2．A [段落大意题。根据第三段“These loud，reductive declarations reflect genuine fear about horrors...And it’s much more pleasant to tell yourself you stand on the side of good，against evil...”和第四段“Sitting with uncertainty is hard...And the faster we express it，the more certain we appear.”可知，这两段主要从心理感受和道德认知两个角度解释在网络上人们急于发表意见的原因。故选A。]
3．C [细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Such thoughtless posts are not what bother me most，though.Instead，it’s the idea that not posting is wrong somehow—that everyone needs to speak，all the time.”可知，“不发帖是错误的”这种评判是最让作者烦心的。故选C。]
4．B [推理判断题。根据第五段内容和最后一段中“While I’ve regretted posting half formed thoughts too quickly，I’ve never regretted waiting until I was less angry or not posting at all.”可推知，作者认为在对待网络上的热点问题时，与其盲从，不如保持沉默。故选B。]
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着在线流媒体服务的发展，字幕已经成为一门艺术。
5．C [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Subtitles started out as an accessibility feature for deaf audiences...letting you read and hear how it’s pronounced at the same time...so mistakes are likely to happen.”可知，字幕可以帮助听障观众，也有助于观众学习外语，但实时字幕的制作很容易出错，所以作者想要传达的是字幕是重要的并且具有挑战性。故选C。]
6．D [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In this scene，the characters were about to gasp—take in a short，sudden，and quick breath of air without speech or sound.”可知，“gobsmacked silence”描述的场景是众人在不说话的情况下倒抽一口冷气，由此可知，这个短语想要表达的是惊讶的情绪。故选D。]
7．B [观点态度题。根据第四段中的“‘So when my colleague came up with that one，I definitely gave him a big thumbs up，’she said.”可推知，Karli认为这名同事的工作做得非常好。故选B。]

2．A [上文“The Internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess.”指出互联网拥有的信息很多，下文“Knowing that...but only a teacher can pass on wisdom.”指出互联网能提供给我们信息，但是却不能传递给我们智慧，所以空处应该引起下文，指出互联网缺乏智慧，A项符合，引起下文，故选A。]

The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian-American tradition that dates back to an immigration(移民) wave in the 1900s.The Italian American tradition of the “Feast of the Seven Fishes” has appeared in movies and recently in the hit show The Bear.But talking of the origin，you’ll get many different answers.The Feast of the Seven Fishes is a dear tradition to many Italian Americans who enjoy at least seven different seafood dishes on Christmas Eve.
A vast majority of Italian immigrants to the United States were from rural Southern Italy at the turn of the 19th century.They came to America because there were jobs from building railroads to skyscrapers.Friends and families found success and brought their loved ones to the U．S.Some say fish was chosen for the Feast because it was ①plentiful for impoverished families in Southern Italy.Others say the sea represented Italian Americans’ connection between their old and new homes.
Writer and director Robert Tinnell made a comic in 2004 about his experience with the Feast of the Seven Fishes，which he later made into a 2019 movie.Growing up in North Central West Virginia，he ②fondly remembers his great grandmother organizing the Feast.After she died，his grandfather and other men in the family took over.That particular manly activity is something that the first Italian immigrants would have also performed out of necessity：men came to America first，without their wives and daughters.
However，knowledge about where to shop，when to prepare，how to cook，the history behind the meal and family traditions soon became the responsibility of mothers to pass down to their daughters，says Di Giovine，a professor at West Chester University of Pennsylvania.They are also likely the ones who have the final say in making changes to recipes.Over time，families often adjust the menu to make things easier，cheaper，more abundant，and more accommodating of dietary restrictions.

From beautiful bronze(青铜) wine cups to grand bronze ding(food containers)，this exhibition ①features discoveries that will fundamentally change visitors’ understanding of ancient Chinese civilization.
At about the same time that Stonehenge was rising in England，a Bronze Age culture was developing in China that in many respects was seldom equaled and never surpassed.This development seemed to have begun by 1600 BCE in the Shang (about 1600 BCE—1046 BCE) along the Yellow River.For thousands of years，this area had witnessed cultures of increasing complexity，which laid the foundation of the Chinese civilization.By the time of the Bronze Age，this culture was characterized by a strong centralized government，urban communities with obvious social ②classes，a distinctive system of writing，strict religious rituals，diversified art forms，and advanced bronze-producing methods.
Unlike other cultures，where bronze was first used chiefly for tools and weapons，in China，bronze was used to make vessels(容器) that played central roles in official ceremonies and ancestor worship for more than 1,000 years，even after the official beginnings of the Iron Age in 400 BCE.Possession of bronze vessels thus became a symbol for the holding of power and rulers used bronze cups and food containers to present offerings of food and wine to royal ancestors.
During Shang times，wine played a major part in such ceremonies，and containers for wine therefore far ③outnumbered other types.Then，the Shang were criticized for too much wine drinking，which gave the Zhou，Shang’s enemy，the right to overthrow the Shang.Safeguarding its own dynasty，the Zhou replaced the wine vessels with more practical cooking and storage tools.
After the Shang period，bronze vessels became more important as expressions of personal status than as vehicles for official ceremonies.This is evident from the changing content of bronze inscriptions.Carved into the surface of a vessel，these writings first appeared during the late Shang period as an identification of the vessel’s owner or of the ancestor to whom it was dedicated.During the Western Zhou period，inscriptions became increasingly common and lengthier，praising the achievements of the owners.
5．What was happening in China by the time Stonehenge was rising in England
A. The Chinese had yet to invent their writing system.
B．China was still relatively backward in many respects.
C．China had already had a strong centralized government.
D．Social classes just started to emerge in the Chinese cities.
6．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The main applications of bronze in China.
B．The complex official ceremonies in China.
C．The significance of the discovery of bronze.
D．The differences between China and other countries.
7．Which of the following most probably belongs to the Zhou
A. Huge bronze ding with short religious texts.
B．Bronze vessels showing the kings’ achievements.
C．An unearthed tomb with lots of bronze wine cups.
D．An ancient kitchen with lots of bronze cooking pots.
8．From which is the text most probably taken
A．A science report. B．An exhibit brochure.
C．A history textbook. D．A research paper.

Have you ever changed jobs or moved to an unfamiliar city，only to find yourself wondering how to connect with new people？ 1 However，a connection is a part of what it means to be human.When we do it well，our lives are far more fulfilling.Here are a few tips to help you build and strengthen connections with people.
Be your real self.
You can’t go wrong with being yourself.Pretending to be someone you aren’t can lead your relationships to be built on lies and cause confusion in the future. 2 They forget that being themselves is how they make genuine connections.
Respect people’s boundaries.
It’s likely that when you get to know someone new，you’ll discover their limits quickly.In order to build a meaningful relationship with that person，you must respect the boundaries. 3 Otherwise，the connection will be killed.
Move past the surface level.
Meaningful connections move past the ①basics of small talk.Yes，the first time you meet someone，you can cover surface-level facts. 4 What are their values What types of goals do they have for the future What are their biggest hopes and dreams These are all questions that give more ②insight into who they are and how we can connect with them.
5
One of the best ways to learn how to connect with other people is learning to be present.And don’t just be present mentally.Use your body language to show that they have your full attention.If you aren’t facing the person who’s speaking，they won’t feel like you care about connecting with them.
A．Stay focused on the present.
B．Be genuine with your admiration.
C．Building relationships can be tough.
D．Don’t push them to share things that they don’t want to.
E．It can also reduce stress and awkwardness for both of you.
F．People make such a mistake when they desperately want to fit in.
G．However，after you’ve been talking for a while，try to go deeper.

Seated at the grand piano in MIT’s Killian Hall last fall，first-year student Jacqueline Wang played one piece of Mozart’s music.When she’d finished，Mi-Eun Kim，a pianist and lecturer at MIT，asked her to move to the back of the hall.Kim ①tapped at an iPad.Suddenly，the music Wang had just played poured forth again from the piano—its keys sinking and rising just as they had with Wang’s fingers on them.Wang stood with a confused expression，taking in a repeat of her own performance.
This unusual lesson took place during a three-week residency(驻留期) of the Steinway Spirior，a piano that obtains the data of live performances and offers students new possibilities for studying and experimenting with music.
Wang was one of several participants to have the experience of hearing herself play while watching the data of her performance move up and down across a screen：color-coded rectangles(矩形) indicating the speed and duration of each note，and a moving line ②charting her use of the damper pedal(阻尼踏板)．Wang could even edit her own performance when Kim suggested her rhythmic use of the pedal might be unnecessary.Using the iPad ③interface to erase the pedaling entirely，they listened to the playback again，the notes gaining new clarity.
For Wang，the session introduced an element she’d never experienced since beginning her piano studies.The visual display of how long each key was played and with what speed gave her a more precise demonstration of the ideas of voicing and evenness.
Playing the piano is one of the most complex activities that humans do with their hands.Some people might think the new technology will replace the pianist.In Kim’s view，that human complexity is complemented by this kind of technical possibility.But it doesn’t mean all of the things that go into learning music will be abandoned.It’s going to be an ④invaluable third partner：the student，the teacher，and the Spirior.It’s going to play a necessary role in lots of musical efforts.
4．What happened after Jacqueline Wang finished her performance
A. Her teacher played a piece of music to compete against her.
B．She got her performance reviewed on the Spirior.
C．She was asked to comment on her performance.
D．Her teacher instructed her to improve her skills.
5．What can we say about the new piano technology
A. It is difficult to operate.
B．It needs to be more intelligent.
C．It might reveal users’ privacy.
D．It is beneficial for students’ learning.
6．What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph
A. The music world is full of uncertainties.
B．Technology cannot replace human pianists.
C．There won’t be fiercer competition among pianists.
D．Pianists should be updated with the latest technology.
7．What can be the best title for the text
A. Making Full Use of MIT’s Program
B．The Evolution of Musical Instruments
C．Exploring Music with the Steinway Spirior
D．The Challenges of Learning a New Instrument

Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
It’s happened to all of us：a song comes on the radio，and we are immediately ①transported back to a time in our past. 1
There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories.Music is often a necessary element of many important life events，and it is also very effective in ②arresting our attention. 2 Besides，the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable.
We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music.The more familiar a piece of music is，the more effective it is in bringing back memories. 3 The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.
Tiffany Jenkins，writing for a culture column，has a different opinion： 4 She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic.The rhythm(韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids.
5 This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump(怀旧性记忆)”，where older adults (over forty) have increased ③recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.
It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked—to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost.
A．Familiarity is important.
B．Music itself is easy to remember.
C．But what makes music so effective in doing this
D．Our musical preference usually forms during our teens.
E．This applies to music more than other cultural products.
F．Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory.
G．Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories.
