In the day, the view of Wuzhen is dominated by white walls and brown wooden doors, but this scene changes in the night when the different lights in the water town create various stunning colors against the black sky.
Of all the shops in Wuzhen, the workshop selling traditional handmade lanterns stands out the most during the night.The man behind these amazing creations is Gu Yeguang, a 53-year-old craftsman who was born into a family of lantern makers in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.
Although Gu has spent nearly his entire life making lanterns, he has never grown weary of the profession, saying that getting to teach the craft to young people is what motivates him these days.
To craft the frame of the lantern, Gu has to chop bamboo carefully into long and thin sticks before using a candle to scorch the areas that need to be manipulated.After bending the sticks, Gu binds the ends together and wraps the completed frame with paper.All these have to be done with great skills and rich experience.
The lantern workshop is without doubt one of the most popular attractions in Wuzhen.According to Gu, the workshop would receive more than 100 people during its opening hours from 9 am to 5 pm during the peak summer season.To craft a simple round lantern costs 30 yuan.The more unique ones cost 50 yuan each.
After a large group of people departs the workshop following their short class on lantern making, Gu returns to his seat and continues work on an intricate dragon-shaped creation.But before he could even pick up his tools, a small girl and her mother enter the space.
“Mummy, mummy, I want a lantern!” the girl exclaims excitedly.
Gu raises his head and gets back on his feet.
“Sure, let’s get started then,” he says.“Let us begin with this bamboo stick.”
And with those few words he lights up the workshop, not with his lanterns but the child’s cherubic (天使般的) smile.
24.Why is Gu still committed to making lanterns?( )
A.He wants to pass down the craft to the young generation.
B.He has to earn enough money to support his family.
C.He regards making lanterns as a family business.

Qinghuaci ware is one of the most well-known cultural products in China, with items made in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, considered the best in quality.
Cai Wenjuan’s parents and grandparents made qinghuaci here.Cai’s childhood memories are connected to ceramics, which led her to find her passion in painting as a girl.Even after graduating from Jingdezhen Ceramic University in 2006, she didn’t think about inheriting the family craft and became a saleswoman at a ceramic studio in Beijing back then.
After two years of selling ceramics, Cai was captivated by the blue-and-white ware.She quit her job and returned to her hometown in late 2008, starting a two-year learning experience of painting blue-and-white porcelain items.In 2012, Cai established her own ceramics-making company and two years later, she built the ceramics-themed brand China Story.
Pushing the boundaries of the age-old practice, Cai puts blue-and-white patterns, inspired by Yuan Dynasty porcelain, on daily objects such as phone cases, umbrellas, pillows and so on.So far, more than 1,000 kinds of cultural products have been sold by her company.“The charm and story behind the blue-and-white china can be told through the way the young generation feels connected,” Cai says, adding that china can be stylish.
As a provincial-level inheritor of the blue-and-white china-painting, she devotes herself to passing on the craft by combining the ancient charm with modern aesthetics.On video-sharing platform Douyin, Cai has posted more than 60 clips to popularize the craft and the culture behind it.“One day, I hope there are traditional Chinese elements everywhere in daily life,” Cai says.Like Cai, more young artists are considering a career in china-related businesses in Jingdezhen, with the local government rolling out supportive measures for a variety of startups in the field.
28.What caused Cai Wenjuan to be fond of painting?( )
A.Her gift. B.Her curiosity.
C.Her being tired of selling goods. D.Her childhood experience.
29.What does the underlined word “captivated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?( )
A.Shocked. B.Attracted.
C.Embarrassed. D.Challenged.
30.Which of the following words can be used to best describe Cai Wenjuan?( )
A.Considerate. B.Creative.
C.Strict. D.Generous.
31.What can we know about the qinghuaci industry?( )
A.It needs checking. B.It needs culture.
C.It has a bright future. D.It has a limited platform.

The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its wooden roof have been largely damaged.The terrible accident causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world, “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity.In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire.In addition, with VR technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there.Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then.By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with hundreds of images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as “same” as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital replica or digital copy has great pratical value.First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them.The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet.In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting it in the following years.Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.
Time is the biggest problem to architectural heritage.Maybe we will have better technologies in the future,but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
32.Which of the following statements is true?( )
A.The big fire has damaged the whole Notre Dame.
B.Only people in Paris felt pain for losing Notre Dame.
C.The damaged parts of Notre Dame have already been repaired.
D.A video game can help people see the original look of Notre Dame.
33.What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings?( )
A.Scan the photos of the buildings. B.Build 3D models of full size.
C.Improve the technology needed. D.Measure all the parts exactly.
34.How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance?( )
A.By comparison. B.By listing data.
C.By giving examples. D.By classification.
35.What is the best title for the passage?( )
A.The Damage of Notre Dame
B.The Value of Digital Replica
C.VR Technology Helps Repair the Cultural Relics
D.Digital Technology Helps Protect Ancient Buildings

I wanted to go to a party.Especially it was a beach party.It had been almost the only thing my friends had been talking about for the last couple of weeks.But my mom had said no.The more desperately I pleaded her case, the more forcefully my mother said no.“I don’t care who’s going,” said coldly my mother,“you are not going.” I was heartbroken.This was my best friend’s party.
Sunday dinner came around and my grandmother joined the family for the meal.Gran noticed my depression but didn’t say a word.It was my turn to wash up and Gran said, “Let me help you.” “What’s up?” asked Gran as I dumped the dishes into the foaming water.Gran wiped a plate with a tea towel.“Mom won’t let me go to my best friend’s party.” I said sadly.“Has mom explained why she doesn’t want you to go?” asked Gran.“No.” I replied.“Then for a moment, put yourself in her position.” said Gran.“If you were mom, what would your objections be?”
I hadn’t stopped to think about my mom’s side.“Well,” I answered, “it’s a beach party.Maybe she doesn’t trust us or thinks we’ll get into trouble.”
“Are there going to be any adults there?” asked Gran.“No,” I said, “who wants their parents hanging around when you’re trying to have fun?” “Might it just be,” said Gran, “your mother doesn’t want anything unfortunate to happen to you.” “Nothing will happen.” I objected.“Maybe you’re right,” said Gran, “but maybe mom’s worried in case it could.”
Gran looked at me gently, seeming to expect my agreement.For a minute or so, I kept silent, pondering for a while about my eagerness for the party.“Maybe, you are right, however, is there no hope?” I inquired.“Not necessarily,” answered Gran, lost in thought.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
“Then maybe think of a compromise,” suggested Gran.
The long-awaited beach party finally came.

(Text 4)
W:I’m looking for a place to have my client’s art show.We are really hoping to attract a large audience.

W:Hello.Front desk.
M:This is Bob Robinson.I’m calling from Room 627.
W:Hi, Mr Robinson.What can I do for you?
M:Is it possible to change to another room?
W:Could you please tell me why?
M:Our room is facing the swimming pool.It’s noisy for me.I have a problem with sleeping.And my wife feels uncomfortable when she takes the elevator.
W:So you need a quiet side room on a lower floor.
M:You’re right.
W:Okay.Let me check the first floor.

W:Tim, you’re going to talk about your project on “How to Lead a Greener Life”.Why did you choose that subject?
M:Well, we’d learnt a lot about the environment in our science lessons.So, I decided to see what I could do in my own life, rather than just act completely helplessly.And I knew the rest of my family would be interested.
W:Did you find it easy to get information?
M:Yeah, I discovered there were lots of people at my age trying to be green.I’d always gone to school by car.Catching a bus would be better, but there’s no bus where we live, so I’ve gone for riding my bike to school now.
W:OK, and what about being green once you’re actually at school?
M:Well, I realised that although all school paper was recycled and most of my friends use both sides of paper, we use huge quantities, and I thought we should cut down.And then it came to me that we should be handing in most of our homework electronically.I’m going to recommend it to our teachers.
W:And what about the school cafeteria?
M:One school I’ve read about has meatless Mondays.It’s good to use local produce, too.That’s something our school already does.But we still have machines with bottled milk, water and juices for sale, and I think we shouldn’t have them.

48.C 在父亲去世50多年后,作者竟然发现了他的手稿,且没有清理掉,这让作者感到震惊。

第二节
“Then maybe think of a compromise,” suggested Gran.But I sobbed uncontrollably and couldn’t say a word.“Well, if you could let me go with you, I’d say yes.” My mom added.I wasn’t fond of my mom hanging around like a bodyguard, but to get to the party I had to compromise.“I suppose your mother won’t disturb your party, will she?” Gran looked at Mom with a kind smile.“Well, I promise I won’t.” Mom finally gave in to me.My mood gradually improved.I ran to my grandmother and gave her a big hug.I was looking forward to the wonderful party desperately.
The long-awaited beach party finally came.I made it at the beach with my mom.At a tree near the destination, Mom stopped suddenly, taking out a red mat to sit on and signaling to me to join my friends.I rushed for the crowd.Joyful and excited, we sang, danced and chatted.Occasionally, the red mat in the near distance caught my eye.Mom held a book, leaning against the tree.The moment my eye fell on her, a wave of appreciation surged through me.It became dark when the party was over.I said goodbye to my friends and turned to Mom.Under the tree sat Mom waiting patiently.Tears of happiness blurring my eyes, I took her hand tightly, heading home.

W:The sports meet starts at 8:00.
M:In order to get a good seat, we must arrive there fifteen minutes in
advance.
(Text 2)
W:Will you grab some peanut butter from the store, please? I want to
make some cookies later.
M:Sure thing, honey.I’ll grab some when I get coffee later.I think
we’re running low on milk, too.
(Text 3)
M:Did you get a present for Molly’s birthday?
W:Yes.You know she loves to listen to Johnny Holden — she’s got all
his CDs — so when I saw this book all about his life, I knew that was the
perfect present for her.
(Text 4)
W:I’m looking for a place to have my client’s art show.We are really
hoping to attract a large audience.
M:You should try the Fairmont Hotel.It’s expensive to rent, but it’s
also right by the subway.It’s super convenient.
(Text 5)
M:Was the telephone ringing?
W:I didn’t hear anything.Sometimes when the windows are open,
you can hear the neighbours’ phone ringing.
M:Well.I’m expecting an important phone call, and I don’t want to
miss it.
(Text 6)
W:How is your mother feeling these days?
M:Much better, thanks, Ms Wang.The operation went smoothly and
the doctor says she’ll recover in no time and she’ll probably come home
at the weekend.
W:That’s wonderful.When will you come back to class?
M:I still need a week to take care of her and today I will do some
cleaning for her coming home.
W:OK. Take care of your mother and yourself.The whole class are
expecting you.
(Text 7)
W:Look at Tina.She looks like she’s on top of the world.
M:Yes.She must have won the English competition.
W:If she has won it, then Mark must be really sad right now.He wanted
to win it so much.
M:Yes, I’m afraid Mark couldn’t even go.I met him yesterday.He
told me he caught a cold.
W:I’m so sorry to hear that, poor Mark.By the way, why didn’t
you take part in the competition?
M:I had no time.I had to prepare for an important exam.What about
you? Why didn’t you take part?
W:I’m just not interested in competitions.
(Text 8)
W:Hello.Front desk.
M:This is Bob Robinson.I’m calling from Room 627.
W:Hi, Mr Robinson.What can I do for you?
M:Is it possible to change to another room?
W:Could you please tell me why?
M:Our room is facing the swimming pool.It’s noisy for me.I have a
problem with sleeping.And my wife feels uncomfortable when she takes
the elevator.
W:So you need a quiet side room on a lower floor.
M:You’re right.
W:Okay.Let me check the first floor.
M:Thank you.
W:We have only two rooms left on the first floor.How about Room
108?
M:That’s fine.Can we move now?
W:Sure.I’ll send the doorman to help you.
M:Oh, thank you.
W:You’re welcome.
(Text 9)
W:Tim, you’re going to talk about your project on “How to Lead a
Greener Life”.Why did you choose that subject?
M:Well, we’d learnt a lot about the environment in our science
lessons.So, I decided to see what I could do in my own life, rather than
just act completely helplessly.And I knew the rest of my family would be
interested.
W:Did you find it easy to get information?
M:Yeah, I discovered there were lots of people at my age trying to be
green.I’d always gone to school by car.Catching a bus would be better,
but there’s no bus where we live, so I’ve gone for riding my bike to
school now.
W:OK, and what about being green once you’re actually at school?
M:Well, I realised that although all school paper was recycled and most
of my friends use both sides of paper, we use huge quantities, and I
thought we should cut down.And then it came to me that we should be
handing in most of our homework electronically.I’m going to
recommend it to our teachers.
W:And what about the school cafeteria?
M:One school I’ve read about has meatless Mondays.It’s good to use
local produce, too.That’s something our school already does.But we
still have machines with bottled milk, water and juices for sale, and I
think we shouldn’t have them.
(Text 10)
W:One destination that is becoming popular with Chinese tourists is
Bali.It is a beautiful island of Indonesia.There is a rainy season that is
perfect for swimming.One of the main attractions is Bali’s diverse sea
life.There are some creatures that don’t exist anywhere else in the
world.Visitors who don’t know how to dive can take classes while
they’re on vacation there.The island is also home to several active
volcanoes.Many scientific groups come to study them.Even though
tourism is on the rise,
most of the population still works in agriculture and the fishing
industry.Bali also has many traditional artworks.Some popular products
for sale include clothing with special designs, wood sculptures, and
organic coffee.A great time to visit the island is during one of its many
festivals.Since ancient times, the culture of Bali has had a lot of
influence from Chinese culture.Chinese New Year is widely celebrated by
Indonesians who are of Chinese origin.The island of Bali has many ancient
Chinese buildings that are especially good to visit during the holiday.

Known as “the roof of the world”, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has
long been an ideal and mysterious destination for visitors who are
passionate about exploring remote lands.Here are some of the best tourist
destinations in Xizang which might suit your discerning travel taste with
the arrival of spring.
The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon
The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is the deepest canyon in the
world.With a total length of about 500 kilometers, its altitude spans from
7,782 meters at Namcha Barwa, the highest peak of the eastern
Himalayas, to 550 meters around the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley in
Metog County.
One unique feature of the spring sight here is that visitors can enjoy
both the peach blossoms and the snow-capped mountains at the same
time.The water Peach Blossom Fair is also an attraction in the area.
Lake Manasarova
Lake Manasarova sits 4,500 meters above sea level in Purang
County, Ngari Prefecture.Snow melt from the Gangdise Mountains
hugging the lake is the source for the nearby Yarlung Zangbo River as well
as the mighty Ganges.
The Manasarova wetland is a key “climate regulator” on the plateau
and home to more than 400 rare species including the black-necked crane
and the Tibetan wild donkey.Enshrined as “holy lake and sacred
mountain” along with Gang Rinpoche, Lake Manasarova attracts a large
number of pilgrims as well as tourists from home and abroad.
Nanyi Valley
Nanyigou scenic spot is 20 kilometers away from Milin County and is
an important birthplace of the mysterious Tibetan medicine culture.The
scenic area covers a total area of 820 hectares.The ecological conditions
here are so good that the place is rich in various animal and plant species.
Nanyi Valley is known as “the highest green mysterious place on
Earth”.Surrounded by mountains and shrouded in clouds, Nanyi Valley
is an ideal spring destination for visitors, where you can find peach and
azalea blossoms everywhere.

In the day, the view of Wuzhen is dominated by white walls and
brown wooden doors, but this scene changes in the night when the
different lights in the water town create various stunning colors against the
black sky.
Of all the shops in Wuzhen, the workshop selling traditional
handmade lanterns stands out the most during the night.The man behind
these amazing creations is Gu Yeguang, a 53-year-old craftsman who was
born into a family of lantern makers in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.
Although Gu has spent nearly his entire life making lanterns, he has
never grown weary of the profession, saying that getting to teach the craft
to young people is what motivates him these days.
To craft the frame of the lantern, Gu has to chop bamboo carefully
into long and thin sticks before using a candle to scorch the areas that need
to be manipulated.After bending the sticks, Gu binds the ends together
and wraps the completed frame with paper.All these have to be done with
great skills and rich experience.
The lantern workshop is without doubt one of the most popular
attractions in Wuzhen.According to Gu, the workshop would receive
more than 100 people during its opening hours from 9 am to 5 pm during
the peak summer season.To craft a simple round lantern costs 30 yuan.The
more unique ones cost 50 yuan each.
After a large group of people departs the workshop following their
short class on lantern making, Gu returns to his seat and continues work
on an intricate dragon-shaped creation.But before he could even pick up
his tools, a small girl and her mother enter the space.
“Mummy, mummy, I want a lantern!” the girl exclaims
excitedly.
Gu raises his head and gets back on his feet.
“Sure, let’s get started then,” he says.“Let us begin with this
bamboo stick.”
And with those few words he lights up the workshop, not with his
lanterns but the child’s cherubic (天使般的) smile.

Qinghuaci ware is one of the most well-known cultural products in
China, with items made in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, considered
the best in quality.
Cai Wenjuan’s parents and grandparents made qinghuaci
here.Cai’s childhood memories are connected to ceramics, which led
her to find her passion in painting as a girl.Even after graduating from
Jingdezhen Ceramic University in 2006, she didn’t think about
inheriting the family craft and became a saleswoman at a ceramic studio in
Beijing back then.
After two years of selling ceramics, Cai was captivated by the blue-
and-white ware.She quit her job and returned to her hometown in late
2008, starting a two-year learning experience of painting blue-and-white
porcelain items.In 2012, Cai established her own ceramics-making
company and two years later, she built the ceramics-themed brand China
Story.
Pushing the boundaries of the age-old practice, Cai puts blue-and-
white patterns, inspired by Yuan Dynasty porcelain, on daily objects
such as phone cases, umbrellas, pillows and so on.So far, more than
1,000 kinds of cultural products have been sold by her company.“The
charm and story behind the blue-and-white china can be told through the
way the young generation feels connected,” Cai says, adding that
china can be stylish.
As a provincial-level inheritor of the blue-and-white china-painting,
she devotes herself to passing on the craft by combining the ancient charm
with modern aesthetics.On video-sharing platform Douyin, Cai has
posted more than 60 clips to popularize the craft and the culture behind
it.“One day, I hope there are traditional Chinese elements everywhere
in daily life,” Cai says.Like Cai, more young artists are considering a
career in china-related businesses in Jingdezhen, with the local
government rolling out supportive measures for a variety of startups in the
field.

The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its
wooden roof have been largely damaged.The terrible accident causes a
sudden sharp pain to people around the world, “What a pity that we
cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them,
namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity.In this game,
the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings
exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before
the fire.In addition, with VR technology, which is already quite
mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is
still there.Maybe digital technology could help to better protect
architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of
them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the
necessary technology has continued to advance since then.By scanning the
ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with hundreds of
images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make
a copy as “same” as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital
replica or digital copy has great pratical value.First, it allows tourists to
feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect
them.The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good
example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near
them.Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous
by spreading awareness about them via the Internet.In 2000, a virtual
tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo,
which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting it in the following
years.Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural
relics.Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still
know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.
Time is the biggest problem to architectural heritage.Maybe we will
have better technologies in the future,but the digital technology offers a
practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I wanted to go to a party.Especially it was a beach party.It had been
almost the only thing my friends had been talking about for the last couple
of weeks.But my mom had said no.The more desperately I pleaded her
case, the more forcefully my mother said no.“I don’t care who’s
going,” said coldly my mother,“you are not going.” I was
heartbroken.This was my best friend’s party.
Sunday dinner came around and my grandmother joined the family for
the meal.Gran noticed my depression but didn’t say a word.It was my
turn to wash up and Gran said, “Let me help you.” “What’s up?”
asked Gran as I dumped the dishes into the foaming water.Gran wiped a
plate with a tea towel.“Mom won’t let me go to my best friend’s
party.” I said sadly.“Has mom explained why she doesn’t want you to
go?” asked Gran.“No.” I replied.“Then for a moment, put
yourself in her position.” said Gran.“If you were mom, what would
your objections be?”
I hadn’t stopped to think about my mom’s side.“Well,” I
answered, “it’s a beach party.Maybe she doesn’t trust us or thinks
we’ll get into trouble.”
“Are there going to be any adults there?” asked Gran.“No,” I
said, “who wants their parents hanging around when you’re trying to
have fun?” “Might it just be,” said Gran, “your mother doesn’t
want anything unfortunate to happen to you.” “Nothing will happen.”
I objected.“Maybe you’re right,” said Gran, “but maybe mom’s
worried in case it could.”
Gran looked at me gently, seeming to expect my agreement.For a
minute or so, I kept silent, pondering for a while about my eagerness
for the party.“Maybe, you are right, however, is there no hope?”
I inquired.“Not necessarily,” answered Gran, lost in thought.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“Then maybe think of a compromise,” suggested Gran.
The long-awaited beach party finally came.
参考范文:
“Then maybe think of a compromise,” suggested Gran.But I
sobbed uncontrollably and couldn’t say a word.“Well, if you could let
me go with you, I’d say yes.” My mom added.I wasn’t fond of my
mom hanging around like a bodyguard, but to get to the party I had to
compromise.“I suppose your mother won’t disturb your party, will
she?” Gran looked at Mom with a kind smile.“Well, I promise I
won’t.” Mom finally gave in to me.My mood gradually improved.I ran
to my grandmother and gave her a big hug.I was looking forward to the
wonderful party desperately.
The long-awaited beach party finally came.I made it at the beach with
my mom.At a tree near the destination, Mom stopped suddenly, taking
out a red mat to sit on and signaling to me to join my friends.I rushed for
the crowd.Joyful and excited, we sang, danced and
chatted.Occasionally, the red mat in the near distance caught my
eye.Mom held a book, leaning against the tree.The moment my eye fell
on her, a wave of appreciation surged through me.It became dark when
the party was over.I said goodbye to my friends and turned to Mom.Under
the tree sat Mom waiting patiently.Tears of happiness blurring my eyes, I
took her hand tightly, heading home.
谢谢观看!
