Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. It's the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire.
In the Warring States Period(战国时代), the ancient(古代的) people loved sweets and developed ways of making sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was great progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes(王子), also went into common people's homes.With the cultural and economic(经济的) development of the Song and YuanDynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the MingDynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.
Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters(画师) use syrup(糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the“paintbrush”, and a smooth(平滑的)table as the“paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since s yru p may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of s yru p up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is made. However, it's a pity(遗憾) that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What's worse, few people seem to be wiling to pass on the art except those old sugar painters.
For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people's daily lives. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on.
31. What does the underlined word“precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Valuable(有价值的) and expensive. B. Useful and cheap.
C. Special but worthless(不值得的). D. Simple but priceless(无价的).
32. When did sugar painting appear
A. In the Warring States Period. B. In the Tang Dynasty.
C. In the Yuan Dynasty. D. In the Ming Dynasty
33. Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly
A. To show their excellent skills. B. To avoid s yrup becoming hard.
C. To protect the spoon and the table. D. To cut down people's waiting time.
34. What's the writer's attitude(态度) towards today's sugar painting according to Paragraph 4
A. Surprised. B. Afraid. C. Worried. D. Hopeful.
35. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. Exploring(探索) the Art of Sugar Painting. B. Improving the Taste of Sugar Painting.
C. Effects(影响) of the Sugar Making Technology. D . Ways to Change the Future of Sugar Painting
D
An“air taxi” seems like science fiction, but you' ll probably be able to take one in the near future. OnFebruary 27,2024, an eVTOL aircraft finished its first test flight in Guangdong and got a lot of attention from around the world.
The flight started from Shekou Cruise Home Port in Shenzhen to Jiuzhou Port in
Zhuhai. The distance(距离)between these two places is about 60 kilometers. The whole
trip took about 20 minutes by the eVTOL aircraft. It will be a faster choice for passenger
rs( 乘 客 ) travelling between Shenzhen and Zhuhai in Guangzhou.Travelling by car,
however, usually takes about two to three hours.
The eVTOL aircraft looks like a small plane. Unlike a plane, it doesn't need a long runway to take off and land on the ground. Instead, it can go straight up and down. This new aircraft is powered(驱动) by electricity(电). It can travel 250 kilometers on a single(单个) charge(电池). It can carry up to five people at a speed of up to 200 kilometers per(每个) hour.
The eVTOL aircraft was developed by a high-tech company named Prosperity. The company is applying(申请) for a permit(许可证) for flying. If everything goes well, it hopes that the aircraft will start carrying passengers in 2026.
Also, Guangzhou is trying to encourage low-altitude flights(低空飞行), which will be used in many areas such as low-altitude tourism, delivery(运输), and farming in the future. Many experts believe that the achievements of low-altitude flights will do good to the city's development.
36. What did the eVTOL aircraft do on February 27,2024
A. It took a trip on a plane. B. It had a low-altitude flight.
C. It finished its first test flight. D. It carried 5 people to Guangdong.
37. What does he word“It” in paragraph 2 mean
A. The whole trip. B. The first test flight.
C. The car for travelling. D. The eVTOL aircraft.
38. Which paragraph tells us what the“ air taxi ” look like
A. The second paragraph. B. The third paragraph.
C. The fourth paragraph. D. The fifth paragraph.
39. Which are some possible uses for low-altitude flights in the future
a. low-altitude tourism b. delivery c. fishing industry d. farming
A. a,b,c B. b,c,d C. a,b,d D. a,c,d
40. What's the passage mainly about
A. Technology B. Culture C. Sports D. HealthⅢ.阅读理解七选五 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(10分)
There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant(令人愉快的) but are not.41 When someone says they have to“ face the music”, it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Facing the music” means to accept and deal with the punishment(惩罚) of an action.
42 For example, “I can't face another night of camping! It's cold and rainy.” Or“In life, you must face your fears.” Face used in this way is very common. But now, let's go back to facing the music.Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says,“Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely (极其)fast car.” 43 You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!
When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and“face the music”.44 It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.
45 To“take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done.And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!
A. But you do not listen. B. “Face the music” is a good example. C. The“music” here is the result of your actions. D. Americans often use the word“face” in this way. E. Everyone likes to enjoy a concert in the evening. F. You are very afraid of losing your trust of your friend. G. There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as“face the music”.
