第一节 阅读理解

www.ks5u.comTIANJIN, Dec.12, 2018 (Xinhua)—Striking Chinese gongs for 50 years, Liu Zibin, a 70­year­old folk artist in Tianjin Municipality, is eager to introduce the traditional musical instrument used in Chinese opera to more people.

Liu became addicted to Chinese opera in his childhood when his grandfather frequently took him to watch performances. At the age of 13, he joined Hebei bangzi training team. Hebei bangzi is one of the oldest types of Chinese opera in northern China, which became popular in the Qing Dynasty. It is a traditional Chinese opera combining music, vocals, dance and acrobatics.

“It took me hours to practice the basic skills of gongs，” he said. “This round piece of metal can help performers on the stage to express joy and sorrow when hit by a stick with different rhythms, so I must bear in mind all kinds of rhythms for various situations. For example, striking gongs with a quick tempo can create a tense atmosphere for action scenes.”

In the 1960s and 1970s, the reorganization of opera troupes in Tianjin forced many members to switch their jobs to those in factories. Thanks to Liu's brilliant skills, he was fortunate enough to go to one of the three biggest Beijing Opera troupes in Tianjin to continue his gong life.

Ten years ago, Liu retired, but he still goes to an opera teahouse almost every afternoon to strike the gong for opera performances. In 2006, Hebei bangzi was listed into China's national intangible cultural heritage. However, he worries about maintaining the art as fewer and fewer youngsters are learning percussion, especially gongs. “People who strike the gong stay behind the scenes. It is hard for them to gain fame and fortune，”he said.Although many amateurs have learned from Liu over the years, some gave up easily.“It's a bit dull and boring to continuously strike a gong for 40 minutes at the practice stage. It requires patience. Few can bear the hardship，” he said.

Various kinds of Chinese gongs are neatly placed at Liu's home. He is waiting for more people to take over his career and spread the traditional Chinese art.

Five­year­old Prisilla Perez, a student at Meador Elementary School in Willis, was unhappy with her recent haircut, which resulted from a severe disease. When students in her class started calling Prisilla a boy, she felt ashamed, often crying and losing focus in school.

Her teacher, Shannon Grimm, sympathized with her unhappiness. Grimm and Prisilla's mom were concerned, but their ideas didn't work. “We had classroom discussions about how girls have short hair and boys have long hair, and I showed them photos of movie stars with different looks，” Grimm said. “However, it wasn't sinking in.”

Grimm thought about Prisilla throughout the winter break, and one morning, she had an idea: Cut off her hair — a scary thought for Grimm, who wore her hair long and took pride in it. “I've never had short hair, and I stressed about it for two weeks before making a decision，” she said. On Jan. 4, Grimm invited a hairstylist friend to her home. “I told him to keep going, even if I cried，” she said.

The class loved their teacher's new do, especially Prisilla, who excitedly ran off the school bus that afternoon yelling, “Mom, Ms Grimm cut her hair！” The teacher also bought matching bows for herself and the girl, so they could style their hair together.

In February, the teacher recommended Prisilla for the school district's Student of the Month Award, but during the Monday ceremony, she received a surprise “hero medal” from the girl. “Now we have matching awards，” says Grimm.

Prisilla's mother, Maria, said that Grimm's thoughtfulness brought her to tears. “I was shocked. I was crying. I couldn't believe it — she did something I wouldn't have the bravery to do. I will never forget that.”

A．She wasn't satisfied with her teacher.

B．She couldn't concentrate in class.

C．She was laughed at by her classmates.

6．What made Grimm have her own hair cut?

A．Praise from her students.

B．Devotion to her students.

C．Request of Prisilla's mother.

D．Suggestion from the hairstylist.

解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段的内容，尤其是“Grimm thought about Prisilla ...  she had an idea: Cut off her hair”可知，Prisilla因为是短头发而被同学嘲笑，为了安慰Prisilla, Grimm老师决定把自己的头发剪短。由此可推知，Grimm老师出于对学生的关爱剪短了头发。

tips “两关注”“一防范”破解间接信息题

间接细节理解题相对于直接细节理解题要难些，因为此类题目的正确选项都经过了命题人对原文信息的语义转换，两者存在表达上的差异。间接细节理解题解题时要仔细阅读题干，通过题干和选项中的关键词及其所提供的信息从原文中找到相应的信息(即定位)，然后把选项中的信息与原文中的信息进行比较和分析，准确理解，作出选择。在做间接细节理解题时，要做到“两关注”“一防范”。

“两关注”是指关注正确选项的两个特征：一是同义词替换或释义，即把文中语言(词汇和句型结构)改头换面，来表达相同的意思；二是对文章信息的归纳和概括。

“一防范”是指防范干扰选项的迷惑性，错误选项常使用诸如张冠李戴、无中生有、曲解文意、断章取义、颠倒是非、正误参半等方式来造成句意的改变。

例如上文第5题中选项C中的was laughed at，是对文章信息When students in her class started calling Prisilla a boy的同义替换，同时要防范错选曲解文意的D项。

第二节.  读后续写

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was a warm and sunny morning at the Central Park Zoo. Mary and her classmates were chatting noisily with excitement as their school bus entered the zoo parking lot. Today, Mary's class was going on a field trip to the zoo to learn more about the animals and their natural habitats.

“Before you leave the bus, please make sure you have your partner！” Mrs Brown announced. To make sure no one got lost in the zoo, each student had a companion. Mary's companion was named John. John loves animals and was also excited to go to the zoo. But sometimes, John does not follow the rules and gets in trouble. Mary hoped that today, John would follow the rules so they would not get in trouble.

While the rest of the students got off the bus, Mary and John quickly ran off to explore. They found the exhibits for many different kinds of animals and learned a lot about their natural habitats. They saw the elephants playing and they saw giraffes eating. They saw the polar bears sleeping and the monkeys leaping. Mary asked John：

“John, what is your favorite animal？”

“I think I like chimpanzees best. They have a lot of energy, just like me! What animal do you like, Mary？”

“I love polar bears! I think their lifestyle in the Arctic is very interesting.”

A few hours later, Mary and John started to feel hungry. They made their way back to the zoo entrance to eat lunch at the Rainforest Café. The Rainforest Café is both Mary and John's favorite restaurant because there is an aquarium inside. The restaurant is also famous for its chocolate cake, which Mary ordered for dessert after they had finished their lunch.

As Mary was finishing her cake, John excused himself to go to the restroom. About ten minutes later, an suddenly alarm began to go off and a voice came over the loudspeaker，“Attention! Someone has opened the chimpanzee exhibit! Some chimpanzees have escaped！”

People were screaming and starting to run. Mary looked for John, but he was nowhere to be found.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式作答。

参考范文：

Paragraph 1：

As more and more people ran out of the zoo, Mary began to think where John could be. With a mixture of fear and anxiety, Mary started leaving the restaurant to search for her partner. As she looked around the zoo grounds, it occurred to her that John had told her that chimpanzees were his favorite animals. John wouldn't have left the restaurant to release the chimpanzees, would he? Oh no! Mary was sure she knew where John had gone.

Paragraph 2：

As Mary raced up the path to the animal exhibits, she stopped because she saw John with two chimpanzees held in his arms. He offered a small, guilty smile. “I didn't mean to let them escape，” he said. “I just wanted to set them free so that they could play outside for a little while！” he continued with excitement. “I took the key from a zookeeper who wasn't looking. But then, the exhibit lock broke and ...” Behind Mary, Mrs Brown had begun to walk up the path and saw John holding the animals. It was clear from her serious expression that he was in big trouble.
