By tradition， on Lunar New Year， you’re supposed to put on new clothes， from inner to outer ones.If they’re the lucky red， all the better.You can never have too much luck.
But when you turn a multiple of 12， 24， 36， 48， 60 and so on — the tradition gets extended： Red underwear every day of that lunar calendar year.When I first heard about the practice a few years ago， I considered it nonsense.It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes.My practical immigrant Chinese parents， an engineer and scientist， didn’t pass this tradition down.Adding another superstition （迷信） also seemed like a thing I could do without.But as I approach my fourth time around the wheel for the “Year of the Dragon” — in what’s known as “ben ming nian” or the threshold year — I’ve been reflecting upon the milestones of those past intervals： puberty at age 12， moving across the country for a job at 24 and giving birth to my twin sons at 36.
The more I’ve looked into the practice， the more I realize the significance of its popularity.As an American-born Chinese， I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace.Logically， I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not， but for me， for now， this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.
So often， life goes by so quickly before we could realize.Days become weeks， months， years and suddenly a dozen years go by.My newborns have grown into tweens and I’ve transformed from not quite middle-aged to now very much so.With the turn of the Lunar New Year， I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way through.
It’s a mindset we could all benefit from.
1.What is the tradition on Lunar New Year？（ ）
A.Wearing lucky red clothes all year round.
B.Putting on new clothes from head to toe.
C.Never having too many lucky clothes.
D.Extending the superstition at a multiple of 12.
2.Why did the author mention her parents？（ ）
A.To prove it is ridiculous to wear red clothes.
B.To honor her practical immigrant parents.
C.To blame her parents for not passing the tradition down.
D.To justify her not following the extended tradition.
3.What finally changed the author’s attitude to the practice？（ ）
A.Her approaching the age of 48.
B.Its connection with her culture.
C.Her illogical thinking patterns.
D.Its popularity among immigrants.
4.What might the author do at her fourth time around the wheel？（ ）

C.Buy underwear in the vivid red.
D.Realize time going by quickly.

The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world.This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East， and allowed the exchange of goods， technology， and ideas between the two civilizations.Although merchants could make huge profits traveling the road， it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang’an （known today as Xi’an）， the early Han capital.Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces.After this， they would face the Gobi Desert， arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert， the largest desert in Asia， consists mainly of rocky， hard earth.This feature made it easier for traders to travel across， compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert.Like other deserts， the Gobi Desert is dry and hot， and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
So， rest stops were created along the route， allowing travelers to rest， eat and drink.These places also promoted the exchange of goods， and even ideas， amongst the travelers who stopped there.Usually， the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other.In this way， travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert， which would make them targets for robbers， another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert， travelers would continue their journey into Iran， Turkey， and finally Europe.Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous， it is not entirely without its perils.
5.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to？（ ）
A.Making huge profits.
B.Traveling the Silk Road.
C.Exchanging goods and ideas.
D.Connecting different civilizations.
6.Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts？（ ）
A.The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.
B.Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C.It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D.There were more natural water sources available.
7.What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert？（ ）
A.Travelers were offered free accommodation.
B.They were located around the edges of the desert.
C.Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.
D.They were shared by travelers from different countries.
8.What is the passage mainly about？（ ）
A.The origins of the Silk Road.
B.The benefits of the Silk Road.
C.The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D.The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的体会和感触介绍了穿红色在中国农历新年和本命年的意义。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章首句可知，农历新年的传统是从头到脚穿上新衣服。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第二段第二至四句可知，作者提到她的父母是为她不遵循传统辩解。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，最终改变作者对习俗态度的是因为这个习俗与她的文化有关。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句以及第四段最后两句可知，作者对于本命年穿红色内衣的态度改变了，开始接纳这一传统。因此在她即将到达第四个本命年的时候，她可能会买红色内衣来穿。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作为古代最出名的商道，丝绸之路让商人们可以经此挣钱，但也伴随着种种风险。
5.B 代词指代题。根据画线词所在句可知，尽管穿行丝绸之路的商人可以获得高收益，但这也不是没有危险的，且下文讲到的危险也都与行走在丝绸之路上相关，所以it指代的应该是“行走在丝绸之路上”。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的The Gobi Desert ...for traders to travel across可知，戈壁滩之所以较好穿越是由于其地面较为坚硬、好走。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的These places also promoted the exchange of goods， and even ideas， amongst the travelers who stopped there.可推知，休息处接待来自不同国家的旅客。
8.C 主旨大意题。根据文章结构可知，作者在第一段给出了中心句Although merchants could make huge profits traveling the road， it was not without risk.，在中间几段讲述了商人们在戈壁滩面临的困难以及其他危险，最后一段再次强调即使过了戈壁滩，但还有其他危险等待着他们。因此本文主要介绍了关于丝绸之路商人所面对的困难。

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者因为照顾经常喜欢抱怨的母亲而养成了抱怨的坏习惯，但她最终通过感恩克服了抱怨的习惯。
9.A 根据上文作者和丈夫为作者母亲找公寓和下文作者母亲总是向作者抱怨可知，此处是指作者很乐于照顾她，直到她搬来。
10.D 根据空后的The pizza was like rubber.和you’re complaining to me可知，此处表示作者母亲打电话向作者抱怨。
11.B 根据常识可知，因为披萨像橡胶，所以母亲应该是吃不下。
12.A 作者认为母亲向自己抱怨是没有用的，应该找真正能解决问题的人去说。fix the problem意为“解决问题”。
13.C 上段结尾说作者母亲仅来了两天就抱怨，而随着一周周过去，母亲抱怨得越来越多，因此作者在跟朋友交流时，应该是认为母亲的态度让自己很恼怒。第15空后的annoyed也是提示。
14.D 根据首段可知，作者和丈夫为母亲找了公寓，但她只是不停地抱怨自己不喜欢的东西，因此此处表示母亲看起来是不领情的。
15.B 根据语境可知，母亲经常抱怨，说明抱怨已经成为一种习惯，该空说作者发现自己也在抱怨，因此作者也养成了这种习惯。
16.B 根据语境可知，此处表示作者决定说话更注意些。
17.C 上文说作者决定更注意（自己的）说话方式，下文又说作者依然在向朋友抱怨，说明作者无力改变这个习惯。
18.A 根据第二段中的We hung up.可知，母亲对作者的抱怨是通过打电话进行的，因此此处作者向朋友抱怨的应该是母亲的电话。
19.B 根据上文提到的journal和下一句中的wrote three things可知，此处是指写下感激的事物。
20.D 因为写的是三件自己感激的事，所以此处表示情感上的满足。
21.C 此处表示作者通过感恩来代替抱怨的习惯。
22.C 根据空前的little things可知，此处表示之前被作者忽略的小事。
23.D 上文说作者开始用感恩来代替抱怨，空前说作者无法改变母亲，这说明作者只能接受她、爱她。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。中国传统的装饰图案表达了美好的愿望，具有极高的价值。壮族艺术设计师黄清穗致力于保护这些美丽的装饰图案，并创造了行之有效的保护方法。
24.meanings 考查词形转换。空处作carried的宾语，且其前有形容词修饰，此处应用名词形式；又因空前无限定词修饰，再结合语境可知，此处表示不止一种含义。故填meanings。
25.to 考查介词。pass down sth to sb意为“使……世代相传”，为固定搭配。
26.a 考查冠词。该处泛指“一位壮族艺术设计师”，应用不定冠词，且Zhuang的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
27.contains 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，此处that引导定语从句，指代上文的an online database，表单数概念，因此从句的谓语动词用单数；该句陈述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时。
28.contacting 考查非谓语动词。根据句中的or以及investigating and visiting可知，空处作介词including的宾语，应与investigating和visiting的形式保持一致，故填contacting。
29.digitally 考查词形转换。空处修饰动词reproduce，故填副词digitally。
30.when 考查固定句型。when it comes to ...为固定句型，意为“当涉及……时”。
31.that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，指代先行词mistakes，先行词由不定代词any修饰，关系词在从句中作主语，故填that。
32.held 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处应用非谓语动词。beauty和hold之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。
33.their 考查代词。此处表示所属关系，应用形容词性物主代词。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
By tradition， on Lunar New Year， you’re supposed to put on new
clothes， from inner to outer ones.If they’re the lucky red， all the
better.You can never have too much luck.
But when you turn a multiple of 12， 24， 36， 48， 60 and so
on — the tradition gets extended： Red underwear every day of that lunar
calendar year.When I first heard about the practice a few years ago， I
considered it nonsense.It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a
color vivid under light clothes.My practical immigrant Chinese parents，
an engineer and scientist， didn’t pass this tradition down.Adding
another superstition （迷信） also seemed like a thing I could do
without.But as I approach my fourth time around the wheel for the “Year
of the Dragon” — in what’s known as “ben ming nian” or the
threshold year — I’ve been reflecting upon the milestones of those past
intervals： puberty at age 12， moving across the country for a job at 24
and giving birth to my twin sons at 36.
The more I’ve looked into the practice， the more I realize the
significance of its popularity.As an American-born Chinese， I have
always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace.Logically， I
know it won’t matter if I wear red or not， but for me， for now， this
shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.
So often， life goes by so quickly before we could realize.Days
become weeks， months， years and suddenly a dozen years go by.My
newborns have grown into tweens and I’ve transformed from not quite
middle-aged to now very much so.With the turn of the Lunar New Year，
I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way

The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route
of the ancient world.This passage connected Europe in the West with
China in the East， and allowed the exchange of goods， technology，
and ideas between the two civilizations.Although merchants could make
huge profits traveling the road， it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang’an （known today as
Xi’an）， the early Han capital.Travelers commencing their journey
from this city could take a northern route that would take them across
China’s northwestern provinces.After this， they would face the Gobi
Desert， arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert， the largest desert in Asia， consists mainly of
rocky， hard earth.This feature made it easier for traders to travel across，
compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert.Like
other deserts， the Gobi Desert is dry and hot， and therefore the biggest
challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as
well as for their camels.
So， rest stops were created along the route， allowing travelers to
rest， eat and drink.These places also promoted the exchange of goods，
and even ideas， amongst the travelers who stopped there.Usually， the
rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other.In this way，
travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert， which would
make them targets for robbers， another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert， travelers would continue their
journey into Iran， Turkey， and finally Europe.Whilst this part of the
journey may have been less dangerous， it is not entirely without its
perils.

5. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to？
（ ）
A. Making huge profits.
B. Traveling the Silk Road.
C. Exchanging goods and ideas.
D. Connecting different civilizations.
解析： 代词指代题。根据画线词所在句可知，尽管穿行丝绸之
路的商人可以获得高收益，但这也不是没有危险的，且下文讲到的
危险也都与行走在丝绸之路上相关，所以it指代的应该是“行走在
丝绸之路上”。
6. Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts？（ ）
A. The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.
B. Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C. It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D. There were more natural water sources available.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的The Gobi Desert ...for
traders to travel across可知，戈壁滩之所以较好穿越是由于其地面较
为坚硬、好走。
7. What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert？（ ）
A. Travelers were offered free accommodation.
B. They were located around the edges of the desert.
C. Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.
D. They were shared by travelers from different countries.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中的These places also promoted
the exchange of goods， and even ideas， amongst the travelers who
stopped there.可推知，休息处接待来自不同国家的旅客。
8. What is the passage mainly about？（ ）
A. The origins of the Silk Road.
B. The benefits of the Silk Road.
C. The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D. The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.
解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章结构可知，作者在第一段给出了
中心句Although merchants could make huge profits traveling the
road， it was not without risk.，在中间几段讲述了商人们在戈壁滩
面临的困难以及其他危险，最后一段再次强调即使过了戈壁滩，但
还有其他危险等待着他们。因此本文主要介绍了关于丝绸之路商人
所面对的困难。
