A篇
RED lanterns adorn(点缀) the aisles of a small supermarket. There are stacks of red envelopes on sale, for stuffing cash in and handing out as gifts. A sign offers seasonal discounts. Such festive trappings are quite common in China in the build-up to the lunar New Year, which this year starts on January 28th. But this is Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, where Han Chinese are a mere 2.5% of the country’s population. They are a sign that Chinese New Year is becoming a global holiday.
Several countries in Asia celebrate the lunar New Year in their own way. But dragon and lion dances in Chinatowns the world over have helped to make China’s the most famous. These days growing numbers of people who are not of Chinese descent are joining in. In Tokyo window cleaners dress up as the animals of the Chinese zodiac(十二生肖). Barcelona’s Chinese parade includes dracs (a Catalan species of dragon). America, Canada and New Zealand have issued commemorative stamps for the year of the chicken. Last year New York City made the lunar New Year a school holiday for the first time.
The spread of the spring festival, as China calls it, is partly due to recent emigration from China: 9.5 million Chinese people have moved abroad since 1978, many of them far richer than earlier waves of migrants. It also reflects the wealth and globe-trotting ambitions of China’s new middle class: festivities in other countries are partly aimed at the 6 million Chinese who are expected to spend their weeklong holiday abroad this year. International brands are trying to?lure?these big spenders with chicken-themed items.
Conscious of China’s growing economic and political clout, foreign leaders have taken to noting the occasion. Britain’s Prime Minister, Theresa May, has given a video address, a tradition started in 2014 by her predecessor, David Cameron. Last year the country’s royal family tweeted a picture of Queen Elizabeth dotting the eye of a Chinese lion-dancer’s costume. Also in 2016, Venezuela’s culture minister admitted that his country was celebrating Chinese new year for the first time—with six weeks of festivities—in a bid to improve economic ties with China. It is rumored that this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year.
China also sponsors related events, such as a display this year of martial arts in Cyprus and a traditional Chinese temple—fair in Harare, Zimbabwe. It may give Chinese officials satisfaction to see foreigners enjoy such festivities. They lament the growing enthusiasm among Chinese for Western celebrations such as Christmas—in December cities across China are bedecked with Santas and snowflake decorations. Chinese New Year is a welcome chance to reverse the cultural flow.
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.?Many countries in Asia are similar to each other in celebrating the Chinese lunar New Year.
B.?This year’s World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year.
C.?Venezuela is the first country in South America to celebrate the Chinese spring festival.
D.?Partly owing to recent emigration from China, the Chinese spring festival could be spread worldwide.
2. Paragraph 2 is conducted by means of ________.
A.?analyzing reasons B.?giving examples
C. ?listing arguments D.?comparing facts
3. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in Para 3?
A.?hook B.?attack C.?interfere D.?exclude
4. The sentence “China hopes the festival will boost its cultural ‘soft power’ abroad.” should be put at the beginning of Paragraph ________.
A.?Two B.?Three C.?Four D.?Five
5. Why are Chinese officials pleased to see foreigners enjoy Chinese new year festivities?
A.?Because these activities are beneficial to improving economic ties with foreign countries.
B.?Because these activities can bring about large amounts of money.
C.?Because these activities offer a chance to promote Chinese culture.
D.?Because these activities would bring forth peace and harmony of the world.
B篇
This Christmas, maybe different from previous years, a strong desire drives me to make my own Christmas gifts. Honestly speaking, I’ve promised myself this more than once. As a crafter (工匠), I’ve frequently thought I am supposed to turn it into action. However, this year I really plan to stick to it. It’s partly because I run short of money. More importantly, I’ve recently returned from an inspiring trip around Britain, collecting some information about crafting for BBC’s Newsnight.
Actually I planned the trip couples of months ago. The idea of traveling the country — making things as I went, meeting artists and craftspeople — sounded perfect to spend the summer. I’d pack a tent and a sewing machine and I’d set off. But by the time I determined my plans and hit the road, leaves made a sighing sound under foot. It seemed crazy to camp with winter on the way; Luckily, Newsnight viewers offered me accommodations in return for help with a craft task.
My tasks ranged from sewing worn-out clothes to making trousers. Textile students in Harpenden offered to pay for my petrol in return for a talk about hats. In Derby, Amy needed help to change an old pair of curtains.
I was really struck by people’s increasing enthusiasm for making things. When I asked some people if they could sew, only a few raised their hands. But when I asked who wanted to learn, nearly everyone responded positively, hoping to learn something practical.
Craft is definitely popular at the moment. But besides fashion, we’re learning to appreciate effort and quality again. Perhaps once people rediscover the pleasure to be gained from making something unique, it may stick.
Sue is director of quilts at the V&A, where next spring she’ll be putting on the museum’s first major quilting exhibition. Sue believes the return to crafting is related to how we rethink ourselves. “People, especially women, are beginning to think about the way they live their lives. It’s 40 years since the first women’s liberation(解放) conference was held in Oxford. Since then we’ve been in the workplace, and we’ve had the opportunity of choice. Now we’re carefully choosing to go back into the home.”
Whether you agree with that or not, there’s something about Christmas that brings out the artistic flavor(气息) in everyone. Whether it’s baking bread or pies or decorating the halls or rooms, we’re all prepared to have a try at any time. So if you fancy having a different and joyful party or holiday and making a few presents, try these really simple ideas, each inspired by my recent journey there. They make small and interesting gifts, and take no longer than 30 minutes each. Enjoy Christmas songs and settle down with a cup of hot cocoa, and the cold is gone. You’ll save yourself a small quantity of money and spread a little bit of love, too!

1. A选项?Many countries in Asia?are similar to?each other in celebrating the Chinese lunar New Year.?许多亚洲国家在庆祝中国农历新年是相似的。故A是错误的。
?【答案定位】根据第二段第一句“Several countries in Asia celebrate the lunar New Year in their own way.”.可知,几个亚洲国家以自己的方式庆祝农历新年而不是相同的方式来过年。
B选项This year’s World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year.今年的达沃斯世界经济论坛比往年提前一周举行,以避免与春节发生冲突。
?【答案定位】倒数第二段根据最后一句“It is rumored that?this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year.”?据传今年的达沃斯世界经济论坛比往年提前一周举行,以避免与春节发生冲突。是“据传”,并不是真的,由此推断出B是错误的。
C选项Venezuela is the first country in South America to celebrate the Chinese spring festival.?委内瑞拉是第一个南美庆祝春节的国家。
?【答案定位】根据“..Venezuela’s culture minister admitted that his country was?celebrating Chinese new year for the first time…in a bid to improve economic ties with China.”委内瑞拉文化部长承认他的国家在六周的庆祝活动中首次庆祝中国新年。由此可知委内瑞拉并不是南美国家第一个庆祝春节的国家,而是第一次庆祝。故B是错误的。
D?选项:“Partly owing to recent emigration from China, the Chinese spring festival could be spread worldwide.”由于近来的来自中国的移民,中国的春节可能传遍全球。
?【答案定位】根据第一段“…They are a sign that Chinese New Year is becoming a global holiday.”(迹象表明,春节正成为一个全球性的节日)及第三段第一句“The spread of the spring festival, as China calls it, is partly due to recent emigration from China…”可知由于最近的移民来自中国,中国的春节可能蔓延全球。故D是正确的。
2. 篇章结构题。在第二段中主要列举了外国庆祝农历新年。如东京用中国的十二生肖,巴塞罗那的华人游行,美国、加拿大和新西兰有发行纪念邮票,纽约去年的农历新年首次学校假期等。从中可看出是以举例的方式来展开本段的。故选B。
3. 猜测词义题。从第三段讲述春节的传播部分是由于早期的中国移民,他们很富有。一些国家的春节是针对那些愿意到国外去度假的华人,因此国际品牌就尽力要以鸡为主题的项目吸引这些大买家。故划线词是“吸引”的人意思,而hook意为“勾,吸引”,两者意思相近,故选A。
4. 篇章结构题。the sentence “China hopes the festival will boost its cultural ‘soft power’ abroad.” (中国希望将提升其节日文化的“软实力”。)通过对比,可以发现第五段内容中提及到中国举行了一系列的有关春节的相关活动,而中国借助这些活动是为了提升“软实力”。故本句话放在第五段前比较合适。故选D。
5. 推理判断题。在最后一段中第一句“China also sponsors related events, such as a?display?this year of martial arts in Cyprus and a traditional Chinese temple-fair in Harare, Zimbabwe. It may give Chinese officials satisfaction to see foreigners enjoy such festivities…. Chinese New Year is a welcome chance to reverse the cultural flow.”从中可知,中国官员很高兴看到外国人享受中国春节,是因为这可以让中国有机会宣传中国文化。故选C。
6. C推理判断题。对作者决定自制圣诞礼物的原因推断。根据第一段最后两句可知,作者之所以坚持今年自制圣诞礼物的真正原因是她的英国之旅(受BBC’s Newsnight一档节目之邀,到英国做某项调查)激励了她。故C是答案。
7. ?C 推理判断题。第二段提到,作者最终定下旅行计划,开始上路时,已是深秋(But by the time I determined my plans and hit the road, leaves made a sighing sound under foot.) 落叶已在脚下作响。C为正确答案。
8. D推理判断题。根据第四段中“I was really struck by people’s increasing enthusiasm for making things.”和“But when I asked who wanted to learn, nearly everyone responded positively, hoping to learn something practical.”我们可以推断“许多人对亲自动手制作东西表现出极大的兴趣”。 A、B是未启程之前作者自己的想象;她此行的目的不是赚钱,C错。
9. ?A推理判断题。根据第五段的第二句“But besides fashion, we’re learning to appreciate effort and quality again.”可知,手工艺品之所以受欢迎除了流行外,我们学会了珍惜劳动、领略手工艺品的价值。因此A符合题意。
10. ?B推理判断题。推断作者对自制圣诞礼物的看法。根据最后一段首句可知,作者认为自制圣诞礼物能激发个人艺术潜能,B正确。 A错在only;该段提到,有些小礼物在30分钟内便可制作完成,D与原文表述不符。C不是作者对制作圣诞礼物的看法。
