Many of China’s ancient architectural treasures crumbled to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s.The couple were among the first preservationists to operate in China,and by far the best known.Their efforts have inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rapid development.
Becoming China’s best architectural historians was not an easy accomplishment.The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old,often located in distant parts of the country.In many cases,they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them.Exploring China’s remote areas during the 1930s meant travelling on muddy,poorly maintained roads by mule (骡子),or on foot.Inns were often dirty,food could be polluted,and there was always a risk of violence from robbers.
Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha’s Light in Wutai County,Shanxi Province.The breathtaking wooden temple was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty,making it the oldest building known in China at the time.
Liang and Lin crawled into the temple’s most forbidding,forgotten areas to determine its age,including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs,covered in dust.“In complete darkness and among awful smell,hardly breathing with thick masks covering our noses and mouths,we measured,drew and photographed with flashlights for several hours.When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air,we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bags.We ourselves had been badly bitten.Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture,” Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in the book Liang and Lin:Partners in Exploring China’s Architectural Past.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了梁思成和林徽因夫妇为保护中国古建筑而做出的努力,他们的努力增强了公众保护历史建筑的意识。
(　　)24.What does the underlined word “crumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
[A]Was stolen. [B]Fell down.
[C]Looked old. [D]Closed up.
(　　)25.What were the main risks that Liang and Lin mainly faced on their way to the ancient buildings in the 1930s
[A]Transport and accommodations.
[B]Personal safety and weather.
[C]Communication with locals and food.
[D]Road conditions and fund.
(　　)26.What can we infer from Liang’s words in the text
[A]They considered their work the most important.
[B]They were well-equipped before entering the temple.
[C]They found some surprising things in the temple.
[D]The condition inside the temple was common to them.
(　　)27.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
[A]Tough Conditions in China’s Remote Areas
[B]The Difficulties China’s Architectural Historians Are Facing
[C]The Reason for Liang and Lin’s Exploration
[D]Partners in Documenting China’s Architectural Treasures

Simple songs are used to teach children important life skills in fun ways.These songs have the power to affect your children’s life forever: You possibly remember the songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still remember today.Likewise,the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your children’s ability to learn and memorise new information.
The rhythmic (有节奏的) structure of language is present in both music and speech.When your children sing songs,they will pick up on natural and unnatural rhythms.Pauses,stressed syllables (重读音节) or words are used to express emotions and stress key points in conversations.Songs and rhymes can be used to remember many kinds of information.Music activates multiple areas of the brain,allowing information to be stored in multiple memory locations.The ability to retain information is increased when a child stores memories in multiple brain areas.
Children learn language faster through songs than through lectures.Singing contributes to short-term phrase learning for unfamiliar terms.For young children,singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases.These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn language into long-term memory.
Research has found a significant connection between beat-keeping and the ability to read.When your children keep a beat,they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters.
There are subtle differences in spoken language that can greatly impact the ability to read in young children.Consonants (辅音) such as “b” and “p” can be difficult for children to distinguish the difference on paper,but their ability to associate small changes in songs can help them understand the difference between the consonants while reading.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了歌曲能提高孩子的学习能力和记忆能力。
(　　)28.Why are simple songs powerful for children
[A]They teach special skills.
[B]They have lasting effects.
[C]They improve singing skills.
[D]They develop deep thinking.
(　　)29.Why are songs good for language learning
[A]They are more interesting than talks.
[B]They make repetition achievable.
[C]They teach difficult expressions.
[D]They help with long-term memory.
(　　)30.What may happen if a child fails to keep a beat
[A]Loss of hearing.
[B]Bad writing habits.
[C]Poor reading skills.
[D]Less speaking fluency.
(　　)31.What does the text mainly talk about
[A]Songs in child development.
[B]Songs and consonants.
[C]Songs and brain areas.
[D]Rhythms in language.

Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular folk arts.Archaeological (考古学的) findings show that the tradition started in the 6th century;it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is a few centuries earlier.
Paper cuttings have special importance at festivals and on holidays.To get rid of the old things and bring good luck,people put up paper cuttings on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.
Paper cuttings are not produced by machine,but by hand.They are done all over China,but are different in the method in different areas.There are two methods of making paper cuttings—by using scissors or knives.As the name suggests,scissors cuttings are made with scissors.Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together.The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors.Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table.Following a pattern,the artist cuts the paper into the pattern with a knife.
In the past,paper cuttings were usually made only by women and girls.They used scissors and knives to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees,peach blossoms,mice,fighting roosters (公鸡) and rabbits eating carrots.
This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master.Professional paper cutting artists are,on the other hand,almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国剪纸的历史起源、意义和制作方法等。
(　　)32.Why do people put up paper cuttings on the windows
[A]Because they want to make the windows look more beautiful.
[B]Because they want to show others their excellent skills.
[C]Because they want to bring themselves good luck in the new year.
[D]Because they want to sell the paper cuttings on the Eve of the Spring Festival.
(　　)33.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
[A]Two methods of making paper cuttings.
[B]Paper cuttings are made by hand.
[C]Paper cuttings are made by machine.
[D]The process of making paper cuttings.
(　　)34.What are paper cuttings usually about
[A]Family members of the artists.
[B]Sports and social activities.
[C]Fights between animals.
[D]Things in our daily life.
(　　)35.Where is this text most likely from
[A]A travel guide.

Whether it’s woodwork,sewing or sculpture,making art is good for your mind and body.
36.　　　 And developing our creative side can give us a stronger sense of agency—the ability to solve problems by imagining possible solutions.
But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to gain those health benefits.All you need to do is just making art.And the more you do it,the better.37.　　
You don’t need to be an artist with a capital “A”.
We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists,but actually,anyone can be an artist.38.　 　　 In fact,research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as experienced artists and those who are not.That means that no matter what your skill level is,you’ll be able to feel all the good things that come with making art.
Figure out your mode of creative expression.
Start with whatever you enjoy.But keep an open mind.39.　　　 You can make art through many activities: finger painting,cooking,baking,oil painting,weaving—the sky’s the limit.And don’t think you have to stick to one thing.Mix it up—do whatever you’re in the mood for.
40.　　
Once you have your art materials,here comes the fun part.Mess around! Let yourself get lost in the process and just play.Because it’s the physical act of making art that induces (引起) feelings of stress relief and positive energy — not what you make or how you make it.
[A]Be ready to take others’ advice.
[B]Take control of the waves of emotion.
[C]Everyone is capable of creative expression.
[D]Focus on making art and let go of expectations.
E.Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you.
F.The act of creation can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood.
G.Here are several things you need to know to kick-start your creative art habit.

Awards lined the front wall of the music room from the past successes of large,talented classes.But changing student interest,with more focus on sports and other activities,had reduced my choir (合唱团) to mere 32 students.My leading singers had graduated,leaving me with inexperienced kids who couldn’t read music and could sing only a simple melody (歌曲).
This year’s singing contest would be held in seven pared to other school choirs—Madison’s 75-member choir,King School’s 125-student choir,and others—ours was small in size.
One day,a student asked eagerly,“What will we be singing for the contest this year ”
I feared this moment.“Maybe we’ll skip (不参加) the contest,” I suggested.
“No! We can make it!” the kids screamed.
“I’ll have to think about it,” I said,hoping their enthusiasm would die away soon.
But that didn’t happen.Every day they begged and insisted.However,I couldn’t tell them they weren’t good enough as I had to protect their self-esteem (自尊).My efforts to discourage their eagerness,by showing them a difficult piece of music from the contest list,simply ended with,“It’s okay,Mrs Pliszka,we’ll get it.”
I struggled to make a decision.If I destroyed their hope,would I destroy their spirit I wasn’t afraid of hard work,and I enjoyed a challenge.But I wasn’t a miracle worker.So I considered this dilemma.
Finally,one morning I stomped into class.“From now on,be in your seats with your music folders on the desk when the bell rings,and sit upright,ready for warm-ups the instant I’m ready to begin.When I’m working with one section,there will be no talking from the others.You will listen,and you will learn.You will work harder.If all these rules are obeyed,we will enter the contest.To achieve our big dream...”
The rest of my sentences were lost in shouts of delight and applause.I was certain they would fail to keep this promise,and no one would have to be embarrassed.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
As several weeks progressed,the kids remained focused.

When the contest day finally arrived,the kids felt ready to take on the world!核心素养提升(Unit 4)

When I was twenty-five,I decided to leave England and travel to Africa.I went with my best friend,the biologist David Attenborough.We had both spent five years at university,and we had just graduated.The plan was simple.Since I was a writer and he was a biologist,I would write about our experiences,and he would study the different animals we saw along the way.First,we stopped in Egypt.We visited the famous pyramids,rode camels,and saw crocodiles in the Nile River.After that,we went to Kenya,where we had a chance to feed giraffes from the tallest trees.Then we went to Tanzania and camped in a small village.The locals there took us to see some rare animals.Last,we ended our trip in Madagascar.There,we saw an animal that I’d never seen before.I bet my friend that it was a monkey,but after a quick Internet search,I learnt I was wrong.Never make a bet about animals with a biologist!When we arrived back home,I went to see David’s publisher.I showed him everything I had written about our journey.He said that he would publish it in the next National Geographic magazine!

Many of China’s ancient architectural treasures crumbled to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s.The couple were among the first preservationists to operate in China,and by far the best known.Their efforts have inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rapid development.
Becoming China’s best architectural historians was not an easy accomplishment.The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old,often located in distant parts of the country.In many cases,they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them.Exploring China’s remote areas during the 1930s meant travelling on muddy,poorly maintained roads by mule (骡子),or on foot.Inns were often dirty,food could be polluted,and there was always a risk of violence from robbers.
Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha’s Light in Wutai County,Shanxi Province.The breathtaking wooden temple was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty,making it the oldest building known in China at the time.
Liang and Lin crawled into the temple’s most forbidding,forgotten areas to determine its age,including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs,covered in dust.“In complete darkness and among awful smell,hardly breathing with thick masks covering our noses and mouths,we measured,drew and photographed with flashlights for several hours.When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air,we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bags.We ourselves had been badly bitten.Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture,” Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in the book Liang and Lin:Partners in Exploring China’s Architectural Past.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了梁思成和林徽因夫妇为保护中国古建筑而做出的努力,他们的努力增强了公众保护历史建筑的意识。
(　　)24.What does the underlined word “crumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
[A]Was stolen. [B]Fell down.
[C]Looked old. [D]Closed up.
【答案】 B
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据第一段最后两句可知,梁思成和林徽因夫妇是中国最早采取行动的文物保护者之一,他们的努力增强了人们保护古建筑的意识。由此可推知,在他们开始努力保护古建筑之前,实际上许多古建筑已经坍塌,因此画线词crumbled应与fell down意思相近。故选B。
(　　)25.What were the main risks that Liang and Lin mainly faced on their way to the ancient buildings in the 1930s
[A]Transport and accommodations.
[B]Personal safety and weather.
[C]Communication with locals and food.
[D]Road conditions and fund.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Exploring China’s remote areas during the 1930s meant...risk of violence from robbers.”可知,在20世纪30年代,梁思成和林徽因两人在前往古建筑的路上主要在交通和住宿方面面临危险。故选A。
(　　)26.What can we infer from Liang’s words in the text
[A]They considered their work the most important.
[B]They were well-equipped before entering the temple.
[C]They found some surprising things in the temple.
[D]The condition inside the temple was common to them.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可推知,梁思成和林徽因在寺庙里发现了一些令人惊奇的东西。故选C。
(　　)27.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
[A]Tough Conditions in China’s Remote Areas
[B]The Difficulties China’s Architectural Historians Are Facing
[C]The Reason for Liang and Lin’s Exploration
[D]Partners in Documenting China’s Architectural Treasures
【答案】 D
【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段的叙述可知,文章主要讲述了梁思成和林徽因夫妇为保护中国古建筑而做出的努力,他们的努力增强了公众保护历史建筑的意识。D项最适合作为本文标题。故选D。
C
Simple songs are used to teach children important life skills in fun ways.These songs have the power to affect your children’s life forever: You possibly remember the songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still remember today.Likewise,the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your children’s ability to learn and memorise new information.
The rhythmic (有节奏的) structure of language is present in both music and speech.When your children sing songs,they will pick up on natural and unnatural rhythms.Pauses,stressed syllables (重读音节) or words are used to express emotions and stress key points in conversations.Songs and rhymes can be used to remember many kinds of information.Music activates multiple areas of the brain,allowing information to be stored in multiple memory locations.The ability to retain information is increased when a child stores memories in multiple brain areas.
Children learn language faster through songs than through lectures.Singing contributes to short-term phrase learning for unfamiliar terms.For young children,singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases.These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn language into long-term memory.
Research has found a significant connection between beat-keeping and the ability to read.When your children keep a beat,they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters.
There are subtle differences in spoken language that can greatly impact the ability to read in young children.Consonants (辅音) such as “b” and “p” can be difficult for children to distinguish the difference on paper,but their ability to associate small changes in songs can help them understand the difference between the consonants while reading.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了歌曲能提高孩子的学习能力和记忆能力。
(　　)28.Why are simple songs powerful for children
[A]They teach special skills.
[B]They have lasting effects.
[C]They improve singing skills.
[D]They develop deep thinking.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,简单的歌曲可以影响孩子是因为它们的影响是持久的。故选B。
(　　)29.Why are songs good for language learning
[A]They are more interesting than talks.
[B]They make repetition achievable.
[C]They teach difficult expressions.
[D]They help with long-term memory.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Singing contributes to...long-term memory.”可知,唱歌有助于孩子们对不熟悉的词汇进行短期的短语学习。反复进行这些短期记忆练习,可以将语言转化为长期记忆。因此歌曲有助于长期记忆。故选D。
(　　)30.What may happen if a child fails to keep a beat
[A]Loss of hearing.
[B]Bad writing habits.
[C]Poor reading skills.
[D]Less speaking fluency.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,研究发现,节奏感和阅读能力之间存在显著联系。由此可推知,如果孩子不能保持节拍,阅读能力可能会很差。故选C。
(　　)31.What does the text mainly talk about
[A]Songs in child development.
[B]Songs and consonants.
[C]Songs and brain areas.
[D]Rhythms in language.
【答案】 A

Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular folk arts.Archaeological (考古学的) findings show that the tradition started in the 6th century;it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is a few centuries earlier.
Paper cuttings have special importance at festivals and on holidays.To get rid of the old things and bring good luck,people put up paper cuttings on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.
Paper cuttings are not produced by machine,but by hand.They are done all over China,but are different in the method in different areas.There are two methods of making paper cuttings—by using scissors or knives.As the name suggests,scissors cuttings are made with scissors.Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together.The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors.Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table.Following a pattern,the artist cuts the paper into the pattern with a knife.
In the past,paper cuttings were usually made only by women and girls.They used scissors and knives to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees,peach blossoms,mice,fighting roosters (公鸡) and rabbits eating carrots.
This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master.Professional paper cutting artists are,on the other hand,almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.

阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether it’s woodwork,sewing or sculpture,making art is good for your mind and body.
36.　　　 And developing our creative side can give us a stronger sense of agency—the ability to solve problems by imagining possible solutions.
But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to gain those health benefits.All you need to do is just making art.And the more you do it,the better.37.　　
You don’t need to be an artist with a capital “A”.
We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists,but actually,anyone can be an artist.38.　 　　 In fact,research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as experienced artists and those who are not.That means that no matter what your skill level is,you’ll be able to feel all the good things that come with making art.
Figure out your mode of creative expression.
Start with whatever you enjoy.But keep an open mind.39.　　　 You can make art through many activities: finger painting,cooking,baking,oil painting,weaving—the sky’s the limit.And don’t think you have to stick to one thing.Mix it up—do whatever you’re in the mood for.
40.　　
Once you have your art materials,here comes the fun part.Mess around! Let yourself get lost in the process and just play.Because it’s the physical act of making art that induces (引起) feelings of stress relief and positive energy — not what you make or how you make it.
[A]Be ready to take others’ advice.
[B]Take control of the waves of emotion.
[C]Everyone is capable of creative expression.
[D]Focus on making art and let go of expectations.
E.Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you.
F.The act of creation can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood.
G.Here are several things you need to know to kick-start your creative art habit.

Aimed at enriching students’ school life,a Campus Culture and Arts Festival was held in our school last Friday.A large number of students took an active part in it.
The festival showcased the diverse talents and creativity of the students,featuring a wide range of activities such as concerts,dance shows,art exhibitions and even poetry readings.Every activity was organised,directed and performed by the students themselves.

Awards lined the front wall of the music room from the past successes of large,talented classes.But changing student interest,with more focus on sports and other activities,had reduced my choir (合唱团) to mere 32 students.My leading singers had graduated,leaving me with inexperienced kids who couldn’t read music and could sing only a simple melody (歌曲).
This year’s singing contest would be held in seven pared to other school choirs—Madison’s 75-member choir,King School’s 125-student choir,and others—ours was small in size.
One day,a student asked eagerly,“What will we be singing for the contest this year ”
I feared this moment.“Maybe we’ll skip (不参加) the contest,” I suggested.
“No! We can make it!” the kids screamed.
“I’ll have to think about it,” I said,hoping their enthusiasm would die away soon.
But that didn’t happen.Every day they begged and insisted.However,I couldn’t tell them they weren’t good enough as I had to protect their self-esteem (自尊).My efforts to discourage their eagerness,by showing them a difficult piece of music from the contest list,simply ended with,“It’s okay,Mrs Pliszka,we’ll get it.”
I struggled to make a decision.If I destroyed their hope,would I destroy their spirit I wasn’t afraid of hard work,and I enjoyed a challenge.But I wasn’t a miracle worker.So I considered this dilemma.
Finally,one morning I stomped into class.“From now on,be in your seats with your music folders on the desk when the bell rings,and sit upright,ready for warm-ups the instant I’m ready to begin.When I’m working with one section,there will be no talking from the others.You will listen,and you will learn.You will work harder.If all these rules are obeyed,we will enter the contest.To achieve our big dream...”
The rest of my sentences were lost in shouts of delight and applause.I was certain they would fail to keep this promise,and no one would have to be embarrassed.

　 One possible version:
As several weeks progressed,the kids remained focused.They followed the rules without complaints and seemed to thrive on the discipline demanded of them.Each morning they sat upright,ready for warm-ups—learning,practising and rehearsing the contest songs.I was amazed at the driving force that kept pushing them on.The courage they had shown from the beginning overwhelmed me,changing something within myself.No more did I hesitate,but made every effort to teach them.With the passage of time,the kids were making steady and remarkable improvements,which was beyond my expectations.
When the contest day finally arrived,the kids felt ready to take on the world!They marched onto the stairs,smiles of confidence spreading on their faces.Their singing sounded perfect.The entire audience broke into loud applause the instant the kids finished their songs.My heart swelled with pride for this little group.After what seemed a century,the results were posted—our name shone at the very top!All the kids screamed with joy.Warm tears streamed down my cheeks.And I was surrounded by the kids who had a dream,refused to give up and taught me to never doubt the possibility of success.
