Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms.Major Cold, or da han in Chinese, is the last solar term in the annual solar calendar.Here are some things about Major Cold.
Cold current
During Major Cold, as the cold current moves southward, the weather is often cold to the extreme.Though the related data in China show that the lowest temperature in a year is usually recorded during the Major Cold period, it may not be as cold as Minor Cold in most areas on the whole since spring is approaching.
Dispelling (驱散) cold
During Major Cold, the freezing weather has a big influence on Chinese people's lives.Rather than take up outdoor activities, people tend to reduce movements and choose to stay at home to keep fit in various ways.For example, to stay warm, people in Beijing have a habit of eating dispelling cold cake, a kind of rice cake that is thought good to warm and nourish.Besides, in Chinese,
“rice cake” has the same pronunciation with the words “higher in a new year”， which symbolizes good luck and continual promotion.For another example, residents in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province like to drink nourishing chicken soup during Major Cold.
The ending and the beginning
Major Cold often coincides with the end of the year, so the folk customs of this period have an added sense of farewell to the old and welcoming the new.With the traditional Spring Festival around the corner, people are busy making preparations for it, like stocking up delicacies, sweeping and decorating.The cheerfulness of the reunion adds warmth to the cold winter days.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统节气——大寒的特点和节日活动。
1．What is the feature of Major Cold
A．Lasting much longer than Minor Cold.
B．Being colder than Minor Cold on average.
C．Resulting from cold current moving southward.
D．Dropping to the lowest temperature of the year.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“During Major Cold ...extreme.”可知，大寒的特点是降至一年中最低温度。
2．How do Chinese people respond to Major Cold
A．By eating specific food to keep warm.
B．By expressing new year's resolution.
C．By doing exercise to keep healthy.
D．By decorating their houses to dispel cold.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“For example ...Major Cold.”可知，中国人通过吃特定的食物来保暖，以此来应对大寒。
√
3．In which part of a newspaper may the text appear
A．Diet. B．News.
C．Culture. D．Art.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“The traditional Chinese ...Major Cold.”可推知，文章选自报纸的“文化”版块。

Kites and kite-flying have a long history in China.According to Chinese records, in the Spring and Autumn Period, more than 2,000 years ago, a carpenter (木匠) named Gongshu Ban invented a wooden kite.But kites have also seen use and appreciation in the US.
Many American schoolchildren are told story of how Benjamin Franklin, a famous early US politician and inventor, used kites to advance his studies of electricity by flying a kite with a metal key attached during a thunderstorm in June 1752.
But Franklin was not the only US inventor to use kites to push the boundaries (边界) of science.Wilbur and Orville Wright are well-known as the inventors of the first manned aircraft at North Carolina, US in 1903, but they used kites as a way of testing their theories and observing possibilities in the years before, according to the American Kitefliers Association.Alexander Graham Bell, the American inventor of the telephone, also ripened what was called a “tetrahedral kite” in an attempt to find a design that was both strong and light enough to be used in a heavier-than-air flying machine.
Besides their use in US inventions and discoveries, however, kites are enjoyed by many throughout the US at different times of the year.Most notably, kite-making and kite-flying have been used to strengthen relations between the US and Japan through different festivals like the Blossom Kite Festival in Washington DC and the Japanese Kite Festival in Denver, Colorado.
The largest kite-flying festival in the US, however, is the Washington State International Kite Festival.According to the World Kite Museum, this festival is a week-long kite celebration and competition held each year during the third week of August at Long Beach, Washington.The event brings in famous kite fliers from around the world, who use special choreography (编舞) to wow audiences numbering in the tens of thousands.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了风筝在美国的历史渊源及其在科学、文化和娱乐方面的应用，特别是美国各大风筝节的盛况，展现了风筝对于加强国际关系和文化交流的重要意义。
4．Why is kite-flying in China mentioned in paragraph 1
A．To give an example.
B．To advertise for kites.
C．To introduce the topic.
D．To tell a story about kites.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，段中先介绍中国风筝的悠久历史，然后在段末把话题转向美国风筝，引出下文对风筝在美国的历史渊源及其在科学、文化和娱乐方面应用的详细介绍。由此推知，第一段提及中国放风筝的历史是为了引入下文话题。故选C。
5．What does the underlined word “ripened” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Changed. B．Developed.
C．Selected. D．Discovered.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔在尝试寻找一种既坚固又轻便的设计，用于比空气重的飞行器。ripened一词用于描述他对所谓的“四面体风筝”进行改进或发展的过程，表示他对风筝设计进行了进一步的开发和完善，与developed意思相近，意为“发展；开发”。故选B。
√
6．Which of the following highlights the Washington State International Kite Festival
A．Its long history.
B．Its kite-flying performance.
C．Its large audiences.
D．Its kite-making competition.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，华盛顿州国际风筝节吸引了来自世界各地的著名风筝飞行者。这些飞行者使用特殊的舞蹈编排来给数以万计的观众留下深刻印象。因此，风筝飞行表演是华盛顿州国际风筝节的重要特色，突显了这个节日的独特之处。故选B。
7．What is the best title for the text
A．Kites take flight in the US
B．The US leads the world in kite-flying
C．The kite-flying festivals in the US
D．The roles of kites in American science
√
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“But kites have also seen use and appreciation in the US as well.”可知，文章介绍了美国的风筝历史、风筝在科学和教育中的应用，以及华盛顿州国际风筝节等相关内容。A项“Kites take flight in the US (风筝在美国飞舞)”能够很好地反映美国与风筝相关的各种活动和文化。故选A。

The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms.Major Cold, or da han in Chinese, is the last solar term in the annual solar calendar.Here are some things about Major Cold.
Cold current
During Major Cold, as the cold current moves southward, the weather is often cold to the extreme.Though the related data in China show that the lowest temperature in a year is usually recorded during the Major Cold period, it may not be as cold as Minor Cold in most areas on the whole since spring is approaching.
Dispelling (驱散) cold
During Major Cold, the freezing weather has a big influence on Chinese people's lives.Rather than take up outdoor activities, people tend to reduce movements and choose to stay at home to keep fit in various ways.For example, to stay warm, people in Beijing have a habit of eating dispelling cold cake, a kind of rice cake that is thought good to warm and nourish.Besides, in Chinese, “rice cake” has the same pronunciation with the words “higher in a new year”， which symbolizes good luck and continual promotion.For another example, residents in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province like to drink nourishing chicken soup during Major Cold.
The ending and the beginning
Major Cold often coincides with the end of the year, so the folk customs of this period have an added sense of farewell to the old and welcoming the new.With the traditional Spring Festival around the corner, people are busy making preparations for it, like stocking up delicacies, sweeping and decorating.The cheerfulness of the reunion adds warmth to the cold winter days.
1．What is the feature of Major Cold
A．Lasting much longer than Minor Cold.
B．Being colder than Minor Cold on average.
C．Resulting from cold current moving southward.
D．Dropping to the lowest temperature of the year.
2．How do Chinese people respond to Major Cold
A．By eating specific food to keep warm.
B．By expressing new year's resolution.
C．By doing exercise to keep healthy.
D．By decorating their houses to dispel cold.
3．In which part of a newspaper may the text appear
A．Diet. B．News.
C．Culture. D．Art.

Kites and kite flying have a long history in China.According to Chinese records, in the Spring and Autumn Period, more than 2,000 years ago, a carpenter (木匠) named Gongshu Ban invented a wooden kite.But kites have also seen use and appreciation in the US.
Many American schoolchildren are told story of how Benjamin Franklin, a famous early US politician and inventor, used kites to advance his studies of electricity by flying a kite with a metal key attached during a thunderstorm in June 1752.
But Franklin was not the only US inventor to use kites to push the boundaries (边界) of science.Wilbur and Orville Wright are well known as the inventors of the first manned aircraft at North Carolina, US in 1903, but they used kites as a way of testing their theories and observing possibilities in the years before, according to the American Kitefliers Association.Alexander Graham Bell, the American inventor of the telephone, also ripened what was called a “tetrahedral kite” in an attempt to find a design that was both strong and light enough to be used in a heavier than air flying machine.
Besides their use in US inventions and discoveries, however, kites are enjoyed by many throughout the US at different times of the year.Most notably, kite making and kite flying have been used to strengthen relations between the US and Japan through different festivals like the Blossom Kite Festival in Washington DC and the Japanese Kite Festival in Denver, Colorado.
The largest kite flying festival in the US, however, is the Washington State International Kite Festival.According to the World Kite Museum, this festival is a week long kite celebration and competition held each year during the third week of August at Long Beach, Washington.The event brings in famous kite fliers from around the world, who use special choreography (编舞) to wow audiences numbering in the tens of thousands.
4．Why is kite flying in China mentioned in paragraph 1
A．To give an example.
B．To advertise for kites.
C．To introduce the topic.
D．To tell a story about kites.
5．What does the underlined word “ripened” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Changed. B．Developed.
C．Selected. D．Discovered.
6．Which of the following highlights the Washington State International Kite Festival
A．Its long history.
B．Its kite flying performance.
C．Its large audiences.
D．Its kite making competition.
7．What is the best title for the text
A．Kites take flight in the US
B．The US leads the world in kite flying
C．The kite flying festivals in the US
D．The roles of kites in American science
