Handwritten Chinese characters (文字) can be beautiful. I still remember lking at Chinese and nt understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strng attractin. In fact, sme students start learning Chinese because f the characters. After having studied Chinese fr a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very lng time t learn.
Living as we d in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphnes and cmputers, mst students sner r later ask themselves this questin: Is it really necessary t learn hw t write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphnes r cmputers, we can use phnetic input (语音输入) systems, which chse the characters we want fr us as lng as we can remember hw they are prnunced. Since we enter different characters, we seldm need t be able t recgnize the difference between characters in detail; the cmputer makes the right chices fr us. D we really need t write Chinese by hand at all?
I think mst peple agree that yu shuld learn t write at least sme characters at sme pint as a student f Chinese, althugh nt necessarily straight away and nt necessarily all the characters that yu can say. But unless yu dn’t care abut written language at all, yu shuld learn the basics f handwriting. Withut it, it will be very hard t understand characters. Yu dn’t need t be a calligraphy master (书法大师), but yu d need basic handwriting skills t d this. Simply lking at things is, as usual, a bad way f learning.
I think learning the mst cmmn 500 characters r s is a gd idea fr all students. If yu actually want t write by hand, increase that t 1, 000. Then learn t handwrite characters utside f the 1, 000 mst cmmn n a need-t-knw basis.
8．What des the authr think f Chinese characters?
A. They are less cmmunicative than English wrds.
B. They attract sme freigners t learn Chinese.
C. They shw the greatness f Chinese culture.
D. They are nt really that difficult.

A. Characters are very difficult fr freigners t learn.
B. Peple believe learning t write characters is imprtant.
C. Peple dubt the necessity f learning t write characters.
D. Characters may disappear with the develpment f sciety.

Dragns, a famus imaginary beast brn frm fantasy, are ften present in stries in the west and east. In bth cultures, dragns are generally recgnized as massive creatures capable f flight. They have great pwer and are ften assciated with magical abilities. Hwever, due t their different cultural rts and images, there exist significant differences in the way dragns are regarded in the west and east, particularly in China.
Chinese dragns mst resemble snakes, and have fur claws and n wings. They ften have features f ther animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. In the cntrast, Western dragns lk like huge lizards with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are ften shwn with spines r rugh scales.
In traditinal Chinese culture, a dragn is a symbl f luck, pwer and high status. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall t the fields t ensure rich harvests. They are cnsidered divine(神圣的) creatures, which hld an imprtant psitin as the head f the fur spirits. Therefre, t symblize their pwer, ancient Chinese emperrs decrated their clthes with dragn patterns. These clthes are knwn as dragn rbes. Many Chinese view the dragn as a natinal symbl, prudly referring t themselves as "descendants f the dragn". In the west, hwever, a dragn symblizes an evil creature that spreads vilence and terrr thrughut the land. They are believed t be transfrmed by the devil, with the ability t breathe fire r spit pisn. Many western tales shw dragns being defeated and killed t prtect peple frm danger.
Tday, dragns cntinue t evlve, exceeding traditinal bundaries and finding new significance in glbal culture. They are n lnger assciated with evil r gd, but rather as cmplex characters with their wn unique persnalities and mtivatins. Fr example, Tthless frm Hw t Train Yur Dragn begins as a dangerus dragn but evlves int a misunderstd being with lve and cmpassin. This challenges the idea f dragns as naturally evil, presenting them as cmplex beings with emtins and mtivatins.
12．What d western dragns and eastern dragns have in cmmn?
A.They have rugh skin.B.They are huge and pwerful.
C.They are in the shape f snakes.D.They have big claws and wings.

16．答案：①-⑤FBECG
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么食物是了解文化的最佳方式。

②空处为本段小标题。根据下文“It desn’t matter where yu’re frm-yu have t eat. Yur scial culture mst likely develped frm the need t eat. Once they surpassed hunting and gathering, many early civilizatins rganized themselves in ways that prmted fd distributin and prductin. That als meant that the animals, land and resurces yu were near gverned what yu’d cnsume and hw yu’d prepare and ck it.(你来自哪里并不重要——你必须吃东西。你的社会文化很可能是从吃的需求发展而来的。一旦他们超越了狩猎和采集，许多早期文明就以促进食物分配和生产的方式组织起来。这也意味着你周围的动物、土地和资源决定了你吃什么，以及你如何准备和烹饪)”可知，食物是必需的，无论你来自哪儿以及何种社会形态。B项“Fd is a universal necessity(食物是普遍的必需品)”符合本段主旨。故选B。
③根据上文“Ever wnder why the prcess t preserve meat is s different arund the wrld?(有没有想过为什么世界各地保存肉类的过程如此不同?)”可知，上文提出保存肉类过程为什么不同的问题。由此推知，空处应对该问题做出回答。E项“t has t d with lcal resurces, needs, and climates(这与当地的资源、需求和气候有关)”符合题意，对上文问题进行回答。故选E。
④空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“India’s cuisine is extremely varied frm regin t regin, with meat and wheat heavy dishes in the far nrth, t spectacular fish delicacies in the east, t rice-based vegetarian diets in the suth.(印度的烹饪因地区而异，在遥远的北方以肉和小麦为主，在东部以美味的鱼类为主，在南部则以米饭为主的素食)”可是，上文陈述了印度南、北、东部烹饪的特点。由此推知，下文应陈述印度西部的烹饪或饮食特点。C 项“And the western part is hme t strict vegetarians(而西部则是严格素食主义者的家园)”符合题意。故选C。
⑤根据下文“A fd turist wn’t just fcus n having a pint at Oktberfest, but will be interested in learning the German beer making prcess, and pssibly hw they can make their wn fresh beer. (美食游客不会只关注在啤酒节上喝上一品脱，他们还会对了解德国啤酒的制作过程感兴趣，可能还会对他们如何制作自己的新鲜啤酒感兴趣)”可知，美食游客不仅对当地美食感兴趣，还对美食的制作，以及自己如何制作当地美食感兴趣。由此可知，美食游客把食物和文化的联系提到的一个新的高度。G 项“Sme peple have taken the cmbinatin f fd and culture t a new level(有些人把食物和文化的结合提升到了一个新的高度)”符合题意。故选G。

③固定搭配 result in 意为“导致,造成”,符合句意。故填in。
④此处用到“"make+宾语十形容词”作宾语补足语,后面 的动词不定式短语是真正的宾语.所以此空用it作形式宾语,故填it。
⑤此空是谓语,根据时间状语"By nw"可知,此句用现 在完成时态;主语是复数,故填 have fund。
⑥分析句子结构可知,定语从句已有谓语动词,此空用非谓语;turn ut 后跟动词不定式,故填 t free。

Handwritten Chinese characters (文字) can be beautiful. I still remember lking at Chinese and nt understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strng attractin. In fact, sme students start learning Chinese because f the characters. After having studied Chinese fr a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very lng time t learn.
Living as we d in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphnes and cmputers, mst students sner r later ask themselves this questin: Is it really necessary t learn hw t write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphnes r cmputers, we can use phnetic input (语音输入) systems, which chse the characters we want fr us as lng as we can remember hw they are prnunced. Since we enter different characters, we seldm need t be able t recgnize the difference between characters in detail; the cmputer makes the right chices fr us. D we really need t write Chinese by hand at all?
I think mst peple agree that yu shuld learn t write at least sme characters at sme pint as a student f Chinese, althugh nt necessarily straight away and nt necessarily all the characters that yu can say. But unless yu dn’t care abut written language at all, yu shuld learn the basics f handwriting. Withut it, it will be very hard t understand characters. Yu dn’t need t be a calligraphy master (书法大师), but yu d need basic handwriting skills t d this. Simply lking at things is, as usual, a bad way f learning.
I think learning the mst cmmn 500 characters r s is a gd idea fr all students. If yu actually want t write by hand, increase that t 1, 000. Then learn t handwrite characters utside f the 1, 000 mst cmmn n a need-t-knw basis.
8．What des the authr think f Chinese characters?

B. They attract sme freigners t learn Chinese.
C. They shw the greatness f Chinese culture.
D. They are nt really that difficult.

B. Peple believe learning t write characters is imprtant.
C. Peple dubt the necessity f learning t write characters.
D. Characters may disappear with the develpment f sciety.
10．What des the underlined wrd “this” in Paragraph 3 refer t?

C. Keeping a gd learning habit.

Dragns, a famus imaginary beast brn frm fantasy, are ften present in stries in the west and east. In bth cultures, dragns are generally recgnized as massive creatures capable f flight. They have great pwer and are ften assciated with magical abilities. Hwever, due t their different cultural rts and images, there exist significant differences in the way dragns are regarded in the west and east, particularly in China.
Chinese dragns mst resemble snakes, and have fur claws and n wings. They ften have features f ther animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. In the cntrast, Western dragns lk like huge lizards with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are ften shwn with spines r rugh scales.
In traditinal Chinese culture, a dragn is a symbl f luck, pwer and high status. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall t the fields t ensure rich harvests. They are cnsidered divine(神圣的) creatures, which hld an imprtant psitin as the head f the fur spirits. Therefre, t symblize their pwer, ancient Chinese emperrs decrated their clthes with dragn patterns. These clthes are knwn as dragn rbes. Many Chinese view the dragn as a natinal symbl, prudly referring t themselves as "descendants f the dragn". In the west, hwever, a dragn symblizes an evil creature that spreads vilence and terrr thrughut the land. They are believed t be transfrmed by the devil, with the ability t breathe fire r spit pisn. Many western tales shw dragns being defeated and killed t prtect peple frm danger.
Tday, dragns cntinue t evlve, exceeding traditinal bundaries and finding new significance in glbal culture. They are n lnger assciated with evil r gd, but rather as cmplex characters with their wn unique persnalities and mtivatins. Fr example, Tthless frm Hw t Train Yur Dragn begins as a dangerus dragn but evlves int a misunderstd being with lve and cmpassin. This challenges the idea f dragns as naturally evil, presenting them as cmplex beings with emtins and mtivatins.
12．What d western dragns and eastern dragns have in cmmn?
A.They have rugh skin.B.They are huge and pwerful.
C.They are in the shape f snakes.D.They have big claws and wings.

Peple may speak different languages and have different ideas but music speaks t each ther's heart, and that's why we keep this wrk ging n and why the wrk never ends," he says, "Our jb is t let music heal the wrld by allwing us t understand and find a cmmn place in ur hearts."("音乐带来希望。人们可能说不同的语言，有不同的想法，但音乐能说出彼 此的心，这就是为什么我们要继续这项工作，为什 么这项工作永远不会结束，"他说，"我们的工作是 让音乐治愈世界，让我们理解并找到我们心中的共 同点。")"可知，音乐家的工作是通过音乐引导人们 更好地了解自己。故选D。

In fact, sme students start learning Chinese because f the characters.(手写的汉字很漂亮。我还记得我曾经看着汉语，虽不懂是什么意思，但却感受到强烈的吸引力。事实上，一些学生开始学习中文是因为汉字)”可推测，作者提到的开始学中文的这些学生应该是外国学生，他们感受到了中国文字的吸引力，即汉字吸引了一些外国人学习汉语。故选B项。

16．答案：①-⑤FBECG
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么食物是了解文化的最佳方式。
①根据上文“Fd plays an essential rle in ur lives and rightfully s: The fd we eat is related t ur culture.(食物在我们的生活中扮演着至关重要的角色，因此：我们吃的食物与我们的文化有关)”和下文“Here’s why fd is the best way t understand a culture:(以下是为什么食物是了解一种文化的最佳方式)”可知，我们吃的食物和我们的文化有关，且下文介绍了为什么食物是了解文化的最佳方式。由此可知，我们可以通过食物探索文化。F 项“Yu can learn much abut a particular culture by explring their fd(你可以通过探索他们的食物来了解一个特定的文化)”符合题意，承上启下。故选F。
②空处为本段小标题。根据下文“It desn’t matter where yu’re frm-yu have t eat. Yur scial culture mst likely develped frm the need t eat. Once they surpassed hunting and gathering, many early civilizatins rganized themselves in ways that prmted fd distributin and prductin. That als meant that the animals, land and resurces yu were near gverned what yu’d cnsume and hw yu’d prepare and ck it.(你来自哪里并不重要——你必须吃东西。你的社会文化很可能是从吃的需求发展而来的。一旦他们超越了狩猎和采集，许多早期文明就以促进食物分配和生产的方式组织起来。这也意味着你周围的动物、土地和资源决定了你吃什么，以及你如何准备和烹饪)”可知，食物是必需的，无论你来自哪儿以及何种社会形态。B项“Fd is a universal necessity(食物是普遍的必需品)”符合本段主旨。故选B。
③根据上文“Ever wnder why the prcess t preserve meat is s different arund the wrld?(有没有想过为什么世界各地保存肉类的过程如此不同?)”可知，上文提出保存肉类过程为什么不同的问题。由此推知，空处应对该问题做出回答。E项“t has t d with lcal resurces, needs, and climates(这与当地的资源、需求和气候有关)”符合题意，对上文问题进行回答。故选E。
④空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“India’s cuisine is extremely varied frm regin t regin, with meat and wheat heavy dishes in the far nrth, t spectacular fish delicacies in the east, t rice-based vegetarian diets in the suth.(印度的烹饪因地区而异，在遥远的北方以肉和小麦为主，在东部以美味的鱼类为主，在南部则以米饭为主的素食)”可是，上文陈述了印度南、北、东部烹饪的特点。由此推知，下文应陈述印度西部的烹饪或饮食特点。C 项“And the western part is hme t strict vegetarians(而西部则是严格素食主义者的家园)”符合题意。故选C。
⑤根据下文“A fd turist wn’t just fcus n having a pint at Oktberfest, but will be interested in learning the German beer making prcess, and pssibly hw they can make their wn fresh beer.
