(2019·全国卷Ⅲ)
For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It's no secret that China has always been a source (来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion (时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement. ” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways. ”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。论述了中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚的影响,并在国际时尚和设计发展中发挥着非常重要的作用。

Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result?It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
But there's still hope for the paint brush. China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture, ” she answers. “Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up. ” says the teacher.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了针对很多中国人忘记许多汉字的写法这一现状而进行的补救措施——让学生参加汉字拼写大会、教小学生书法。
1. Which of the following is closest in meaning with the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?
A.Every Chinese can write Chinese characters easily, especially with computers.
B.Only with the help of computers can some Chinese people write Chinese characters.
C.Despite the help of computers, Chinese people have forgotten how to write.
D.Computers are the only means to rely on to write Chinese characters for many people.
解析:选B 句意猜测题。根据句意可知,如果没有电脑的帮助, 中国人正在忘记如何写汉字,也就是说只有在电脑的帮助下,中国人才能写好汉字,和B项的意思最接近。
2.What can we learn about Character Hero?
A.It's open to people of all ages and all walks.
B.It's the most-viewed TV program in China.
C.It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.
D.It draws great public attention across the country.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,每周有数百万中国人坐在电视机前观看汉字拼写大会的节目,可以判断它吸引了全国很多公众的注意力,D项的内容最符合。
3. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?
A.Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often.
B.Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.
C.Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
D.Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. ”可知,智能手机和电脑上的软件允许使用者使用拉丁字母打出字来。所以, 有了高科技的帮助不需要用手亲自写字。D项符合题意。
4. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is________.
A.necessary for adults to survive in China
B.a requirement made by the Education Ministry
C.helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive
D.an ability to be developed only when you are students
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture” 可知,会手写汉字是中华传统和文化,因此, 会写汉字有助于弘扬中华传统和文化。C项符合题意。
B
It is said that if you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on economical faculties. Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to the contraction normally connected with age—using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the town. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking (萎缩) brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain. ” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don't rely on pocket calculators. ”
【解题导语】 本文讲述了日本一个医学研究团队的研究结果:越是乐于思考、使用大脑的人, 越不容易脑衰老。
5.The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.
A.the size of certain people's brains
B.how to make people live longer
C.which people are most intelligent
D.why certain people are aging sooner than others
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down. ”可知,医生们想要研究如何减缓老龄化的过程, 也就是说如何让人们更长寿。故答案为B。
6. On what are their research findings based?
A.The study of brain volumes of different people.
B.The study of brain volumes of old people.
C.The latest development of computer technology.
D.A survey of farmers in northern Japan.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations”可知,通过测量一千个不同年龄不同职业的人的脑容量来做实验。A项符合文意,故答案为A。
7. The doctors' tests show that ________.
A.our brains shrink as we grow older
B.the front section of the brain does not shrink
C.sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D.some people's brains have contracted more than other people's
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the town. ”可知,研究发现农村的人比城镇的人的大脑更早开始萎缩。 然后又列出不同职业的对比, 脑萎缩最慢的是律师, 紧接着是大学教授、医生, 然后又列出其他职业。这都说明有些人的脑萎缩比较多、比较快, 有些人就比较慢、比较少, 因此答案为D。
8. According to the passage, which people seem to age more slowly than the others?
A.Lawyers. B.Farmers.
C.Clerks. D.Shop assistants.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. ”可知,脑萎缩最慢的是律师。故答案为A。
Ⅳ. 七选五
It's easy to spot signs of physical suffering, but much emotional pain can't be easily masked. 1 “We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being, ” says Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen, a clinic psychologist. Simply asking someone “How are you” may just get “Fine, thank you”, says Van Dahlen. “It's important to be aware of what could lead to somebody needing help they're afraid to ask for, ” she adds. The followings are four signs a friend might need help.
2
If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting—maybe he's not smiling much these days, for instance—trust your feelings and reach out. “Try saying, ‘I see these things. I care about you. Can I be of help? ’”, Van Dahlen says.
He's unusually unhappy or annoyed.
3 “It may take more than one time to follow up if you're talking to someone who is upset, ” Van Dahlen says, “but if a friend responds with anger, that could mean you're onto something. ”
He's less put together than usual.
Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene (卫生) can be signs that someone is in trouble. Don't consider these behaviors are nothing. 4 He seems overwhelmed (压倒) by life.
No one is happy all the time, but if your once optimistic friend can't find anything to be hopeful about, he may be having thoughts of worthlessness, sadness and something negative. “ 5 ” says Van Dahlen, “so that more people can get the help they need. ”
A.He's acting a bit more withdrawn.
B.He doesn't seem like himself lately.
C.Instead, treat them as a sign to care for your friend.
D.Getting angry quickly and easily can be a sign that something is wrong.
E.It's a constant effort to bring into the open discussions about mental health.
F.Many people avoid talking about it no matter how close they are to someone.
G.We want people to get comfortable being more open and discussing mental health.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇关于健康的说明文。文章介绍了人们心理出现问题时的四种迹象。
1.解析:选F 根据本空后的“‘We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being’”可知, 无论人们跟某人有多亲密, 他们都不会跟对方谈论心理方面的问题。F项中的it指代本空上一句中的 emotional pain。故选F。
2.解析:选B 根据下文中“something different about the way your friend is acting”可知,朋友跟平常不一样是他心理出现问题的迹象之一,也就是说,朋友表现的不像他自己,与B项语意相符,故选B。
3.解析:选D 根据本段的小标题“He's unusually unhappy or annoyed. ”可知,易怒是 (心理) 出问题的一个迹象。故选D。
4.解析:选C 根据本空前的“Don't consider these behaviors are nothing. ”可知, 不要把这些不同寻常的行为不当一回事,而是要把它们当成你去关爱朋友的迹象。C项中的them指代上一句中的 behaviors。故选C。
5.解析:选G 根据本空后的“‘so that more people can get the help they need’”可推测, Van Dahlen希望人们能更自在地敞开心扉谈论心理健康,只有这样, 更多的人才能得到他们需要的帮助。故选G。

To be sure, only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.
In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter(反对) the myth that they are not responsible. “People think we're treated too kindly and ruined,” says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. “But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get. ”
Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, co-author of the book,The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable(易受攻击的) to house breakers, to a new one with more security. “The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it,” he says. “After all, I am left with that responsibility. ”
In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don't have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unjust.
【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了独生子女在社会生活中所遇到的种种困难和挑战的同时,还要面对社会对他们的诸多偏见。

解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters. ”可知, 在没有兄弟姐妹的独生子女家庭里, 父母是他们的榜样。因此父母应该以身作则,给孩子树立好的榜样来教导子女。故选D。

A.is the only one who cares about her
B.doesn't want to leave her alone

The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language. We use the Internet to connect with family and friends and stay in touch with issues we care about.
The list goes on and on.
As far as the Internet being a part of our lives—well, that train has left the station. That expression means there is no going back. If you prefer boating, you can say that ship has sailed.
So, there may be no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health?
It might be, say researchers.
Study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online were more likely to have high blood pressure.
High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard. Over time, this extra strain increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
High blood pressure can also cause heart and kidney disease. It is also closely linked to some forms of dementia, a brain disease. Dementia is marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and a reduced ability to reason.
Let's introduce something about the study of it.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. It involved 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old. One hundred thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure.
The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use and high blood pressure. Other research has connected that heavy Internet use with health problems including anxiety, depression and obesity.
The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life but it shouldn't consume us. ”
For the purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on “average 25 hours a week”.
Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take “regular breaks from their computers or smartphones” and to do some “kind of physical activity”.
She also suggests that parents limit their children's use of the Internet to two hours a day, five days a week.
【解题导语】 互联网如此有用并且已经融入我们的生活, 但过度使用它, 会引发多种健康问题。

D.the list of the uses of the Internet is being lengthened day by day

A.they use the Internet too much
B.they pay little attention to their health

D.using the Internet too much makes their heart and blood vessels work too hard
解析:选C 细节理解题。由第七段“High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard. Over time, this extra strain increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke. ”可知,高血压使得人们的心脏和血管超负荷运行。长此以往, 这种超负荷运行会增加心脏病和中风发生的风险。可知C项正确。
7.Which of the following may using the Internet too much contribute to besides teenagers' high blood pressure?
A.Anxiety, depression and obesity.
B.Memory disorders, and personality changes.
C.Dementia, a brain disease.
D.A heart attack or stroke.

8.Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow suggests that the proper time children spend using the Internet should be ________.
A.25 hours a week B.10 hours a week

Dear Sir,
I'm writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host families of the British students.
We have a large and clean house, which lies in a beautiful area of the city. I'm good at English and my parents are both professors of English, so I'm sure we won't have any difficulty communicating with English speakers. My father is an excellent driver and we will be very glad to show foreign students around some nearby places of interest in our own car. Last month, we received two American students. We had a good time. Besides, my mother cooks well, so the students will be able to enjoy delicious Chinese food. I would greatly appreciate it if I have the chance to make friends with them.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Track!” ?My father tried hard to shut me up, but I was so excited, I kept screaming my special word. ?My poor mother decided she didn't know this baby and run into the ladies-room where she hid until I finally stopped. ?Well, I learned how to say track correctly, and soon I was talking like a normal child.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
There have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over disease.They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life.
Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching,and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt:“The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said,“the dentist will fit you in. ”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?
In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,“Don't worry. The dentist is very good. ”
“How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork?” I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!

Songs of Hope is an overnight performing arts summer camp in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA for kids aged 10 and older from around the world. More than just a performing arts camp,Songs of Hope offers participants a unique opportunity to live with kids from other cultures while learning and performing music from many countries.
Each summer,up to 75 children venture to Minnesota from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and the US. They arrive as strangers but soon become friends as they learn popular songs and dances from each other's cultures. The lessons learned during these six weeks are profound (深远的). The friendships are enduring. And the stories are inspirational. Taking part in the Songs of Hope camp is a life-changing experience.
DATES
The Songs of Hope 2018 session will run from June 17 to July 30.

Therefore,we understand that some participants may need to arrive late or leave early. Don't let that stop you from applying! We are happy to make special arrangements as needed. Just send us an email to explain your scheduling challenges. We are happy to arrange a special study room for late arrivals to make up for the missed lessons.

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。
Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium(千年)by the media. You may not be familiar with him. 36 Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.
He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz, Germany. In 1428, he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years. 37
Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books. 38 That means that each copy of the Catholic Bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by penmen. Gutenberg fashioned a font(字体)of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, he invented the variable-width mold(模具)and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.
39 Between 1450 and 1455, while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible, Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a calendar, and so on. The Bible of 42 Lines, the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world, was completed by August 15, 1456.
The invention of the modern printing press changed the way information was delivered. 40
Even today in the computer age, we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction, information, and for the pleasure of reading literature.
A.Gutenberg made the world a much richer place.
B.But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways.
C.Gutenberg's idea was one of the greatest of all mankind.
D.By 1450, Gutenberg was back in Mainz working on a printing press.
E.This invention was also responsible for educating the masses worldwide.
F.Before the spread of Gutenberg's idea, literature was primarily handwritten.
G.It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiment with moveable type.

One possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply to be a volunteer for the Chinese Painting Exhibition which will be held in your art gallery. I think I am qualified for this job, because I have learned Chinese painting since childhood. Equally important, I am fluent in both Chinese and English, so I have no difficulty in communicating with others. If I am lucky enough to be chosen as a volunteer, I can show visitors around the gallery and answer their questions about the paintings, after some proper training.
I would be very grateful if you could offer me the opportunity. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
