I live on the coast with beautiful sandy beaches.It's the perfect 31 for my favourite hobby—making sand sculptures.I'd never thought of making sand sculptures before 32 some fantastic ones appeared all along the beach.Beautiful buildings and lovely animals were all made of sand.From that moment,I knew that this was something I just had to do,though I'd never considered myself to be a(n) 33 .
In fact,anyone can create a sand sculpture,but it's much harder than it looks.The first sand sculpture I tried making was a two-metre long dolphin.I was making 34 on it until suddenly the head started to break off!I tried everything to 35 it,but it was hopeless.Soon the whole thing was a big pile of sand.Some people nearby seemed to think this was quite funny,but that just made me keep trying even 36 .I wished I'd listened to an expert(专家)on You Tube who recommends digging up 37 sand and to use it to build the sand sculptures because it sticks together better.So,I did that for my next sculpture of a camel.And I 38 to complete it in four hours,though it didn't take me that long to make.
People say that making sand castles is for kids,not adults,but that doesn't bother(困扰)me at all.Many people don't understand that even a 39 touch can make a sand sculpture fall off.Of course,heavy rain can do some damage(损坏),but not as much as you might think.If you build far enough up the beach,the sea water won't 40 a sand sculpture away either.So,when you're next at the seaside,make one yourself—you'll get a great sense of achievement!

Weekends,air conditioners (空调),takeouts are very common for modern people.Have you ever wondered whether ancient people enjoyed the same lifestyles
No“weekends”
In ancient China,there were no“weekends”because people did not use a weekly calendar.During the Han Dynasty,officials(官员)took one day off every five days.During the Tang Dynasty,officials worked for 10 days and rested for one day.They usually took a bath on their day off,which was called “xiumu”.There were also many public holidays,such as winter solstice(冬至).During the Ming and Qing dynasties,people also took days off for the emperor's birthday.
Smart ways of staying cool
In ancient times,people had their own wisdom to get through the hot summer.As early as the Zhou Dynasty,people collected ice blocks in winter and put them in an ice house.When summer came,people could take the ice blocks home to make their rooms cooler.There was a kind of porcelain pillow(瓷枕)that felt pleasantly cool.Ancient people also made bamboo sleeping mats to stay cool for hot summer nights.
Takeouts not a new thing
There was takeout as far back as the Song Dynasty.According to history books,Emperor Xiaozong liked to order takeout late at night.His servants(仆人)would go around the city to pick up dishes and bring them back to the mon people also ordered takeout.Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and shout out which dishes could be ordered that day.People would then place an order.Later,delivery(递送)workers would bring food to their homes.

A.Every 5 days. B.Every 7 days. C.Every 10 days. D.Every 15 days.

C
I was nine when my parents wanted to move from a normal-sized flat in the city to a small place in the countryside,and I was eleven by the time we did it.And when I say "small",I mean really,really small.Our new home was about the size of a garage (车库).Compared(比较)to the flat where we used to live,it was tiny.
We built our tiny house ourselves on a piece of land about two hours' drive from the city.We used to go there every weekend and during holidays to work on it,but,even so,it took nearly two years to finish.My mum designed the house to include all the basic things.My“bedroom”was built in a space under the roof that I could reach by ladder.
They enjoyed growing our own fruit and vegetables and keeping chickens.They were very pleased about not having to pay for power because we could produce our own electricity from the sun.We also collected wood around us to burn for heat.
I remember that it took me a few months to get used to living in such a small space.Before we moved from the city,we had to give away most of our things because there wasn't enough room for them anymore,but now I don't mind having fewer things.And one thing I love about our tiny home is being able to spend so much more time outside—something I didn't do in the city very often.And I do a lot more things with my parents,which is great.
I don't think I'll choose "tiny living"for myself in the future,but I'm glad that I've had the experience of it.

Paper-cutting is a Chinese folk art with a long history.The earliest paper cuts date back to the 4th century in China.In 2002,UNESCO listed China's paper-cutting as a world cultural heritage(遗产).In Chinese culture,paper cuts are the symbol of happiness and good luck,and they have been used for decoration and design patterns (图案)throughout history.
Paper cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates.They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck.The Chinese character Fu means good luck and it is often stuck on front doors upside down.It is believed that when Fu is put upside down,happiness arrives.The image of a fish often appears together with Fu,which shows we will have more than enough money to spend.
Paper cuts are also used on presents.People use Fu to wrap(包装)presents to bring good luck to others.A present for parents with new-born babies might show a paper cut of children.In some designs,we can see a baby on a lotus flower.The name of this design is“lian sheng gui zi”,which means we wish that the parents would have more children.
The image of a baby on an animal is popular as well.This animal is called“qi lin”,which is believed to have the power to bring children to the family.Paper cuts that show the Chinese character of double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings.People use them to decorate such occasions(场合)by putting them on walls,windows,doors and even furniture.
Another kind of paper cuts are those used to make design patterns on clothing,such as the Chinese Fu,the image of dragon and flower patterns.They are very popular choices for clothes to wear.They are also sometimes used to decorate jewellery boxes.
In the past,paper-cutting was all done by hand.Even a small mistake during the process
can ruin(毁掉)the whole piece of work.Now there are factories for paper-cutting in China
and paper-cutting has also changed from decoration to a kind of art.
51.Why do Chinese people stick Fu upside down
A.Because it helps to drive evil spirits away.
B.Because it represents the coming of happiness.
C.Because it looks more beautiful in such a style.
D.Because it expresses people's hope for a richer life.

六、阅读短文(共15小题；第71—75小题每小题2分；第76—85小题每小题1分。满分20分)
A)请认真阅读下面短文，根据短文内容用英语回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义切题，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为71—75的相应横线上。
注意：答案不超过6个单词。
A person who writes music is known as a composer.A composer thinks of a musical idea and writes it on paper for others to read.Instead of writing words,a composer uses musical notation(记号).Other people can read the notes and play them.When they do,they're playing music that came from the composer's imagination.
Beethoven was a famous German composer.He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four.He also learned to play the violin.Beethoven visited Vienna,which was a very musical city,in 1787.Two other famous composers lived in Vienna at that time.Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn met Beethoven and gave his music high praise.Beethoven made friends in Vienna and returned there in 1792.He studied music with Haydn and lived in Vienna for the rest of his life.
Beethoven was known as a great pianist,but he wanted to compose his own music.He always seemed to have musical ideas in his head.His notebooks show how hard he worked to get the music just right.He often wrote and then revised his music by scratching it out (勾划),so it is possible for us to see how he was thinking about the music.
During the late 1790s,Beethoven began to lose his hearing.At first it was difficult for him to hear people and talk with them.Even when he became completely deaf,he did not stop creating music,however.He heard music in his mind even though he couldn't hear it with his ears.
Most people have heard of Beethoven's Symphony(交响乐)No.5,but they may not know he wrote it when he was growing deaf.A symphony is a long piece of music for orchestra(交响乐团).Symphony No.5 starts like this:ta-ta-ta-TUM.Beethoven used this pattern over and over in his symphony. Try saying it aloud two times:ta-ta-ta-TUM,ta-ta-ta-TUM.
When did Beethoven start learning music
72.Which city influenced Beethoven most in his musical career
73.What is Beethoven known as
During the late 1790s,what difficulty did Beethoven face
Why did Beethoven make greater achievements after losing his hearing
B)请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为76—85的相应位置上。
In a room at Stanford University,scientists are studying a small animal called a gecko.It's an amazing animal because it can m 76 very quickly up and down a tree and even upside down on ceilings.The scientists are especially interested in the gecko's f 77 .They want to use the same design on a metal robot that looks very similar to the gecko.It has four feet and can walk up walls made of glass or plastic,but it still has trouble walking upside down.
Animals and plants can teach h 78 a lot about design and engineering.As a result,many engineers,scientists,and designers spend time studying them.When they have a problem,n 79 often has the answer.This science is called biomimetics.Bio means“living things”and mimetics means "copying".
Velcro is p 80 the most famous example of biomimetics.Most people have some Velcro on clothes and shoes.It was i 81 by the Swiss engineer George inVelcroburrzipper1948.He was walking in the countryside when he pulled a burr o 82 his trousers.He noticed how well the burr stuck to his clothes so he studied its design.The result was Velcro,which became an alternative (替代品)to the traditional zipper.
In 1982,Wilhelm Bartlott got a great i 83 studying the leaf of a lotus (莲花)plant.He noticed that water always ran off the leaf.When he had a closer look,he d 84 how it worked.Bartlott copied the leaf's special surface and now you can find it in specialized paint products that don't allow water and dirt to stick.
In conclusion,biomimetics not only has helped to design our world b 85 shows many more possibilities.And yet,they might take a long time to develop.This isn't really surprising:it took nature millions of years to design its animals and plants.
