第一部分阅读(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、 B、C D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
When mentioning China, what comes to mind? As a country with a history of more than 5000 years, China is rich in civilization and culture. What best represents China?
Confucius (551BC-479 BC)
Confucius was a teacher and philosopher from the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history. The philosophy of Confucius stresses individual morality including kindness, fairness, politeness, and sincerity. Confucius' principles have a broad basis in common Chinese tradition and belief.
Dragon
A dragon is a legendary creature, typically with winding or crawling characters. The dragon symbol is frequently used on ancient Chinese emperor's items including chairs or costumes. It is considered a representation of power.
Peking Opera
Peking Opera is considered the essence of China. As the larger form of Chinese opera, it has many "firsts" in Chinese dramas: the abundance of talents, the number of artists, opera groups and audience.
The Great Wall
There is an old saying that goes. "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man." The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders of the world, is a destination one must see when visiting China.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Developed in China, TCM has a tradition dating back to more than 2,000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, cupping, massage, exercise (Qigong), and dietary therapy.
1．What do we know about Confucius according to the passage?
A．He died at the age of 72.
B．He put stress on teamwork spirits.
C．He was a teacher in the Waning Stales Period.
D．He created common Chinese tradition and belief.
2．Which of the following is regarded as symbol of power?
A．Confucius. B．Dragon.
C．Peking Opera. D．The Great Wall.
3．What must you do when coming to China according to the passage?
A．Learn to exercise Qigong.
B．Appreciate Peking Opera.
C．Pay a visit to the Great Wall.
D．Experience the treatment of cupping.
B
When asked what his father did for a living, Mike explained to his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it’s OK, because he gets paid to do it. ”
He isn’t wrong. His father is a hacker(黑客), who is proud of his job, just like doctors are proud of the work they do. Thanks to security researchers’ hacking practices, leaks in a new version of the most common Wi-Fi code standard(WPA3)were found before criminals could use them to break into home and business networks. In another case, criminals found an unknown weakness in Google’s Android operating systems before security researchers did, giving the bad guys full control of more than a dozen phone models.
However, finding Mike’s father’s personalized plates for his car with the word ‘HACKING’, an employee of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles quickly took them away, claiming that a license plate displaying “HACKING” publicized criminal activity. While this reaction really isn’t the fault of the well-intentioned employee, it’s a sign of how a deeply rooted misrepresentation of his profession has created a fixed wrong image. It seems that the way that hackers are described in Hollywood has contributed to the word ‘hacker’ paralleling ‘criminal’, where hackers are often referred to as figures in dark rooms engaged in illegal activity while tapping at keyboards.
But actually, hacking is just an activity. What separates any activity from a crime is, very often, permission. People are free to drive, but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour, which is a criminal offense. Since a driver is just a driver, why must a hacker be a criminal? Someone who engages in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a ‘bad hacker’ but a ‘cybercriminal’. Contrary to popular belief, most hackers like Mike’s father undoubtedly play an important role in keeping companies and people safe.
4．What did Mike’s son think of Mike’s job?
A．Admirable. B．Amazing. C．Acceptable. D．Annoying.
5．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about concerning the hackers’ job?
A．Its weakness. B．Its importance. C．Its variety D．Its security.
6．Why does the writer mention ‘Hollywood’ in paragraph 3?
A．To entertain the renders. B．To question the employee’s claim.
C．To clarify the concept of hacking. D．To trace the wrong image of hackers.
7．What message does the author really want to convey in the text?
A．Hacking mostly counts. B．Hacking is actually a crime.
C．Hacking is popular with people. D．Hacking needs licenses.

C
The “24 solar terms” (节气) originated and was firstly used in China. It was created thousands years ago on the basis of practical needs of agriculture. Ancient Chinese people used it to guide agriculture production, special climate signs and even healthy living tips. Last year, the 24 solar terms was added to UNESCO’s world  cultural heritage list. Now, it has been brought to life thanks to a creative designer from Southwest China’s Guizhou province.
On the eve of this year’s Qingming Festival, Shi Changhong released (发布) his version of re-produced and packaged characters for each solar term in the form of “moving art” of gifts. Since their first release on Zcool on March 29, the gifs have won great praise among the general public and quickly flooded social media with millions of hits during the festival period.
To maximize publicity, Shi released his work in three forms: video, animation and picture. The background sounds add to the brilliance.
“When I watch the short video, I can strongly feel the Chinese-style elements hidden in them. And it is really cool to liven up Chinese traditional culture in such a unique way.” WeChat user Xiao Feifei said.
“It is really a comfort to me to see so many people like my latest work. To be honest, it would really surprise me if the work does not arouse great interest among Chinese people. The 24 solar items is a deeply rooted concept that covers the essence of Chinese wisdom. However, only a small portion of people know all the names or the correct order of those terms. My intention is to increase Chinese people’s self awareness to learn more about our traditional fine culture. Actually, the 24 solar items work is only a part of my whole design program ‘Charm China’, which I started over a year ago.” Shi told China Daily.
8．Which part of the newspaper does the text probably belong to?
A．Travel. B．Culture.
C．Agriculture. D．Education.
9．What do you think the underlined word “Zcool” refer to?
A．Newspaper. B．Magazine.
C．Radio Broadcast. D．Website.
10．Which of the following statements is true according to text?
A．The background sounds of the work make the video more attractive.
B．It really surprised Shi Changhong to see so many people like his latest work.
C．Most old people know all the names of the correct order of the 24 solar terms.
D．The 24 solar items work designed by Shi Changhong was added to UNESCO’s heritage list.
11．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce a creative designer.
B．To introduce the 24 solar items work.
C．To introduce the origin of the 24 solar terms.
D．To introduce a design program “Charm China”.
D
For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
12．What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?
A．It promoted the sales of artworks. B．It attracted a large number of visitors.
C．It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D．It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
13．What does Hill say about Chinese women?
A．They are setting the fashion. B．They start many fashion campaigns.
C．They admire super models. D．They do business all over the world.
14．What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．learning from B．looking down on C．working with D．competing against
15．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B．A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C．Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends

语法填空
41．itself    42．separately    43．are    44．where    45．striking    46．settlers    47．were taken    48．to##into    49．to see    50．an

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于澳大利亚堪培拉中心地带的一个值得参观的景点——国家美术馆。
41．考查代词。句意：美术馆本身的建筑风格令人印象深刻，独具特色。分析句子可知，空处代词作同位语强调The architecture of the gallery本身。故填itself。
42．考查副词。句意：根据画家的原籍国，还分别展出了多种绘画。分析句子可知，空处应用副词separately作状语，修饰空后的介词短语on display。故填separately。
43．考查be动词。句意：据粗略估计，这个画廊里至少有一千幅画。根据空后的a thousand paintings可知，这里应用复数are。故填are。
44．考查定语从句引导词。句意：它甚至有一个专门的区域，展示艺术学生的绘画。分析句子可知，本句为定语从句，先行词 section指地点，在定语从句中做地点状语，因此应用关系副词where。故填where。
45．考查形容词。句意：在所有这些展品中，土著绘画是最引人注目的。根据句意及分析句子可知，be动词are后面应跟形容词，the+most+striking。故填striking。
46．考查名词。句意：在19世纪，当白人移民来到澳大利亚时，土著居民的孩子大多被从父母身边带走，由白人父母抚养长大。根据本句末尾的 white parents可知，空处的settler应用复数形式做主语。故填settlers。
47．考查被动语态。句意：在19世纪，当白人移民来到澳大利亚时，土著居民的孩子大多被从父母身边带走，由白人父母抚养长大。分析句子可知，children和take away之间是被动关系，因此应用被动语态，再根据空前的came 可知应用一般过去时。故填were taken。
48．考查介词。句意：有些画作表达了这一主题，能让参观者感动落泪。move sb. to/into tears为固定短语，意为“使某人感动得落泪”。故填to或into。
49．考查动词不定式。句意：看到小孩子欣赏这样的抽象画真是令人惊奇。分析句子结构可知，固定句型it is+adj.+to do sth.意为“做某事是怎么样的”，因此空处应用不定式。故填to see。
50．考查冠词。句意：国家美术馆确实是一个值得参观的景点。分析句子可知，attraction为可数名词单数，且是元音音素开头，因此空处应用不定冠词an。故填an。
短文改错
【答案】1.in→on  2.giving→given  3.came→come  4.minute→minutes  5.me→myself  6.删掉to  7.brave→bravely  8. Whichever→Whatever  9.or→and  10.在such后面加a
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述在面对困难时，我们要勇敢地面带微笑去面对。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：我是一个经常脸上带着笑容的人。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里表达“在脸上有笑容”的意思，需要介词on。故将in改为on。
2.考查做形容词。句意：在任何特定的时间里我都不喜欢伤心。分析句子结构和意思可知，given意为“特定的”，at any given time翻译为“在任何特定时间”。故将giving改为given。
3.考查时态。句意：每当在生活中我遇到困难时，我都会有那么几分钟的担心，因为我是一个有感情的人。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话表示的是经常性的行为，所以谓语用一般现在时。故将came改为come。
4.考查名词的复数。句意：每当在生活中我遇到困难时，我都会有那么几分钟的担心，因为我是一个有感情的人。minute为可数名词，前面有a few修饰，所以应用复数形式minutes。故将minute改为minutes。
5.考查反身代词。句意：但是，再一次，我会告诉我自己一件事——人生苦短，你不应该浪费时间悲伤，所以振作起来。根据语境分析，“我告诉我自己”，宾语应用反身代词myself。故将me改为myself。
6.考查祈使句结构。句意：但是，再一次，我会告诉我自己一件事——人生苦短，你不应该浪费时间悲伤，所以振作起来。分析句子结构和意思可知，此处so是连词，故其后应接句子，因此把to删掉，使其成为一个动词原形cheer开头的祈使句。故将to删掉。
7.考查副词。句意：你是那个需要勇敢面对困难的人。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要副词修饰动词短语face the trouble，bravely意为“勇敢地”。故将brave改为bravely。
8.考查状语从句。句意：无论是什么困难，你都要尽力去解决它。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里是“无论困难是什么”的意思，是让步状语从句，从句中缺少表语，意思是“无论什么”，要用whatever。故将Whichever改为Whatever。
9.考查连词。句意：勇敢点并带着微笑去接受挑战，那么，你会觉得这是如此小的一件事。分析句子结构和意思可知，“勇敢带着微笑去接受挑战”和“你会觉得这是如此小的一件事”前后是顺承关系，表示“那么”的意思。此句是固定句型：祈使句+and+简单句，表示承接的意思。故将or改为and。
10.考查冠词。句意：勇敢点并带着微笑去接受挑战，那么，你会觉得这是如此小的一件事。分析句子结构和意思可知，thing是可数名词单数形式，表示泛指，所以前面应该用不定冠词修饰，形容词small修饰后面的名词thing，且small发音是以辅音音素开头，所以前面用a。固定搭配such a/an+形容词+可数名词单数。故在such后面加a。
