(每小题2分，满分10分)In China, writing brushes, ink sticks, paper and ink stones are called the Four Treasures of the Study. Among the high-quality treasures, the writing brush produced in Huzhou, the ink stick produced in Huizhou, the xuan paper made in Xuancheng and the ink stone made in Duanxi are the best-known.The writing brushes can be used to draw the pictures on painted potteries(陶器). They are mainly made of the hair of animals. Those made of wool are called yanghao and those made of the weasel’s(鼬)tail hair are called langhao. Their artistic effects(效果)in writing and painting cannot be copied by any other pens.The ink stick is the pigment(颜料)used in writing and painting. The ink stick produced in Huizhou is of high quality. A story goes like this: Two famous skilled men Xi Chao and his son produced a kind of high-quality ink stick. As a result, the Emperor Li Yu in the southern Tang Dynasty agreed to give them the family name “Li”. From then on, the fame of the Li Ink Stick was widespread. In the Song Dynasty, its producing area was changed into Huizhou, and it was then called the Hui Ink Stick,Paper is among the four great inventions in ancient China. The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In Xuanzhou, Anhui province where the xuan paper is produced, it’s said that Cai Lun’s pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper. Later he happened to see the ebony(檀木)in the rivers. It was wet with the water and turned white. Then he used the bark(树皮)to produce the world-famous xuan paper.The ink stone was already very popular in the Han Dynasty. The Ming and Qing dynasties saw the appearance of the Four Famous Ink Stones — Duan Ink Stone, She Ink Stone, Tao Ink Stone and Chengni Ink Stone. They can not only be used in writing and painting but also foradmiration.53. What are the writing brushes mainly made of?54. Did Xi Chao and his son produce the Li Ink Stick or the Hui Ink Stick?55.

The material is probably from_____________.A. a websiteB. guidebookC. a school noticeD. a science magazineBFor Serena Aunon-Chancellor, joining the Young Astronauts Club was more than an after-school hobby, it was the very beginning of her journey to space!Serena was born on April 9, 1976, in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. When she was growing up in the 1980s, NASA launched space shuttles(发射航天飞机) many times a year. One day as she was watching a shuttle launch on TV, Serena’s father said, “You want to work for NASA? You need to be an engineer.” Serena’s father was an engineer himself. And he was right: half of all astronauts have studied engineering. From then on, Serena planned to be an engineer.When she turned sixteen, Serena’s parents gave her an amazing gift—a weekly trip to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Her experiences at Space Camp showed Serena that her childhood dream was possible. In college, Se rena got a degree in electrical engineering. After that, she attended medical school and studied aerospace medicine.In 2006, Serena worked as a flight surgeon(航空医师) at NASA, helping astronauts in the United States and Russia.

It is an online broadcast in which a host eats tons of food while talking with the people watching him or her. It began in South Korea in around 2010 and has spread all over the world.Why did mukbang first appear in South Korea? Jeff Yang, an Asian-American cultural critic(评论家), thinks that it’s down to “the loneliness of unmarried or uncoupled South Koreans”. He believes that eating on your own can be hard in a country like South Korea, where social eating is such a long tradition. However, eating alone is becoming increasingly common. It seems that mukbang gives people the feeling that they are part of something larger.Alice Stride, a spokeswoman for the Campaign to End Loneliness, says, “It might bring someone great comfort to watch mukbang.”She adds that she would be worried if younger people were watching people eat instead of eating with friends or family, but for older people it could be a comfort. “If you can’t get out, if you’re ill for example, then perhaps that will bring you a great sense of comfort. On the whole, though, we would advocate face-to-face communication. It’s something that won’t change.”“I would always encourage people to do whatever makes them feel better as long as it is a healthy habit,”says Ben Edwards, a relationship expert. “I doubt if mukbang is a healthy way to have a meal. But I think if people feel like watching other people eat, and it gives them some sort of satisfaction, I see no harm.”66. What questions are answered in Paragraph 1?①How old is mukbang?②What does mukbang mean?③Where did mukbang begin?④How did mukbang get popular?A.①②③B. ①③④C. ①②④D. ②③④67. According to Jeff Yang, it is difficult for South Koreans to eat alone because they_____________.A. have the culture of eating togetherB. are supporters of ending lonelinessC. like joining a larger groupD. usually have a big family68. Which of the following is probably Alice Stride’s opinion?A. Mukbang helps lots of people feel less lonely.B. Older people are more interested in mukbang.C. Younger people should offer more comfort to older people.D. Younger people should eat with their friends and family a lot.69. What does the underlined word “advocate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean in Chinese?A. 观察B. 提倡C. 建立D. 评估70. What does Ben Edwards think of mukbang?A. It is difficult to do.B. It is healthy for the host.C. It is an acceptable thing.D. It is a popular way of eating.第二部分非选择题(65分)五、词汇(15分)71. Go (径直地) on and you’ll find the Panda House.72.

In general, the 17 away from home you get, the stranger the languages around you become. But, have you ever noticed anything 18 among different languages?Language studies have shown that the 19 for “mama” and “papa” around the world are surprisingly like each other. It was once believed that different languages shared something in common 20 several languages started to develop from one language. That was the origin（起源）of many languages spoken around Europe.21 , this cannot explain why there are similarities too outside Europe, such as “nanay”and “tatay” in the Philippines which also 22 in some places in Guangdong, China. So what could 23 this similarity around the world?Russian-American linguist（语言学家）Roman Jakobson shares 24 he has found out. Maybe he is 25 .“If you’re a(n) 26 making your first sounds, the easiest will be ‘ah’ because you can make it 27 doing anything with your tongue（舌头）or lips（嘴唇）,” he said.“M”and “n”are also created 28 by opening and closing the mouth, so these sounds often develop next. In a similar 29 , the sounds that are closely related to “father”, like “p”, “d” and “t”, develop next. This could be the reason why, around the world, a child’s first words are often “ma” or “pa”, leading parents to be 30 “mama” and “papa”.16. A. interested B. lost C. used D. prepared17.

Now, Joe has four grandchildren, and they visithim during their holidays.During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much, especially after his wife’s death. He was very upset about losing it.Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.One granddaughter asked: “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw th e watch last before it went missing?”“I guess when I was cleaning the barn!” Joe replied.The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it.

They posted pictures of themselves lying face down as though （好像）they had just fallen over. Some items like handbags, decorations and money were spread out on the ground around them in the photos. They shared these photos on the Internet to flaunt their wealth.The craze soon became popular around the world. In China, however, it is taking on a new meaning. People are using it to flaunt their hobbies and talents. The items in their pictures show what they do for a living and what they have achieved in their work.▲For example, students fall down onto textbooks and test papers. Police officers fall in front of their police cars with handcuffs in their hands. Famous people are taking on the challenge, too. Writer Liu Tong took a fall with dozens of copies of his new book.More than 1.08 million Chinese have taken on this challenge on Sina Weibo. Their pictures have been viewed more than 2.22 billion times. Internet users also discuss these photos. Most of them speak highly of the craze. One Sina Weibo user wrote, “This shows the positive energy of fighting and working hard.

But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn’t help 20 stories I’d heard that day.
