18、tury found in Xinjiang, China. From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became popular especially during Chinese festivals. The art spread to the rest of the world in the 14th century. Throughout the Qing Dynasty many paper cutting skills were developed including drafting and the use of smoked pa

19、pers. By the end of the Qing ruling, however, paper cutting was once on the decline because new art forms were being introduced. The Republic of China later tried to revive the art in the 1980s.Today, paper cut-outs are chiefly decorative. They decorate walls, windows, doors, columns, mirrors, lamps

20、 and lanterns in homes and are also used on presents or are given as gifts themselves. Entrances decorated with paper cut-outs are supposed to bring good luck. Paper cut-outs used to be used as patterns, especially for embroidery(刺绣).There are two methods of manufacture: one uses scissors, the other

24、ftersCOnce upon a time, a man was walking on a mountain when he found an incredible cave with all kinds of treasure inside it. So he gave up his job, his home, and his friends, and spent all his time guarding the cave.He was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill

25、. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.He crawled into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror, that it was empty except for a small emerald(绿宝石). The man took it and gave it to the first person to come by, a woman.Then an old man cam

26、e by. “What bad luck！” the man said. “Just a moment ago I gave a woman the last of the treasure I was guarding.”“Are you sure there is nothing left？” the old man asked. The man took him into the cave, where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold. The man was shocked, and the old man ex

27、plained to him, “At last! At last! At last someone has broken the spell of this cave. This is the Cave of Treasure, and youre the first to have passed its great test. Many have dedicated their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there was nothing here”“And why does this happen？” the man ask

28、ed.“This magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts become empty. So does the cave. The only way to fill it is by filling y

29、our heart with all that is good, as you did by giving the woman that last jewel.”From that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep. Thanks to the cave and the old man, he became noble and generous.28Why did the man give up his job, home and friends?ABecause he possessed a

30、 variety of treasure. BBecause he devoted himself to a great test.CBecause he had to guard the treasure cave. DBecause he wanted to find the treasure cave. 29What did the man find when he showed his cave to the old man? AAll kinds of treasure. BA chest with jewels and gold.CA small emerald. DA handf

31、ul of jewels. 30What do we learn about the people who dedicated their lives to the cave before?AThey all found the cave empty at last.BThe old man freed them from its spell.CThey all filled the cave with the treasure they had.DThey thought it was better to share than to enjoy the treasure alone.31Wh

32、at can we learn from the text?ADifferent people have different views.BTreasure only belongs to those who possess it.CSome people never learn what is really valuable.DPurely material things cannot make us truly wealthy.DWith the development of society, the choice of food and drink for children is mor

33、e diversified than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealt

34、hy, fatty food, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grownups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less takeaway food.There is another argument that blames parents for

35、 allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go

36、 for sweet and salty food every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives. There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an

37、unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active as well as guide them away from fast food sho

38、ps and bad eating habits.32What is suggested by the author to deal with overweight?ABlaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty food.BAsking young children to walk to school every day.CLiving an active life and removing bad eating habits.DNot watching TV or playing computer games after school.33Wh

39、ich of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?34The author writes the passage to _Ashow people a social problem Bprovide facts for the governmentCadvise solutions to a problem Dcompare opinions of people35The underlined word “diversified” in the first paragraph most probably means “_

40、”Avarious Bdifficult Cexpensive Davailable第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中的两项为多途选项。What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 36 . Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist

41、. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 37 . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon

42、as you could see clearly. 38 . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 39 . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀）than any other

43、 bridge in the area -until it was repainted green . The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. 40 . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when

44、 their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.A.On the other hand, black is depressing.B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up-we are born with our preference.C.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.D.If you do, you must b

When we were leaving, you 46 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 47 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 48 this.” Last week

48、, a young man 49 me in the line at a petrol station didnt have 50 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much 51 is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 52 he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 53 , which came to just over 54 .

49、 That is an easy mistake 55 both gauges run fast. Something made me think of you and 56 you did that night at the caf in Bondi. I handed the man $6.
