Unit 5 Music李仕才一、閱讀理解Chinese paper cutting or "jianzhi" is the art of cutting paper designs, and the cut-outs are also used to decorate doors and windows, so they are sometimes called "chuang hua". Paper cutting has long been a symbol of Eastern charm.There are symmetrical(對稱的)designs that are usually created by some folding and cutting. When unfolded, it forms a symmetrical design. Chinese cut-outs are normally symmetrical and are usually in an even number series of 2, 4, 24,etc.The oldest surviving paper cut-out is a symmetrical circle from the early 6th century found in Xinjiang, China. From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became popular especially during Chinese festivals. The art spread to the rest of the world in the 14th century. Throughout the Qing Dynasty many paper cutting skills were developed including drafting and the use of smoked papers. By the end of the Qing ruling, however, paper cutting was once on the decline because new art forms were being introduced. The Republic of China later tried to revive the art in the 1980s.Today, paper cut-outs are chiefly decorative. They decorate walls, windows, doors, columns, mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes and are also used on presents or are given as gifts themselves. Entrances decorated with paper cut-outs are supposed to bring good luck. Paper cut-outs used to be used as patterns, especially for embroidery(刺繡).There are two methods of manufacture: one uses scissors, the other uses knives. In the scissor method, several pieces of paper up to eight are fastened together. The image is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several paper on a relatively soft foundation consisting of a mixture of oil and ashes. Skilled crafters can even cut out different drawings freely without stopping.1.When can the existing oldest paper cutting date back to?A. about 1 500 years ago.B. about 1 600 years ago.C. about 1 400 years ago.D. about 600 years ago.2.The underlined word "revive" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by "_".A. surviveB. restoreC. copyD. fix3.Which of the following words can best summarize the last paragraph?A.

starvation，這里把作定語的人稱代詞its改為whose，引導定語從句并在從句中作定語，指代前面的名詞the World Food Programme，因此填whose。三、完形填空I was looking through some old photo albums the other day.I had _1_ done that many times before but I

ourselves on to study hard.我們應該不斷地鞭策自己努力學習。1C根據(jù)下文的“many times before”以及“I hadnt cried the last time”可知，作者應該不止一次看這些老相冊，故此處表示作者之前已經(jīng)(already)多次看過這些老相冊。2D此處表示作者突然有再次看老相冊的沖動(urge)。appeal“懇求”；fear“害怕”。3B此處表示作者重溫(reliving)了許多來自童年時期的美好回憶。shape“塑造”；escape“逃避”；build“建造”。4A根據(jù)下文的“when I was a newborn baby”可知，此處表示作者還是個新生兒時，奶奶給她徹底洗澡，故選A項。5B空前的“the worlds ugliest”和空后的“our favorite”之間為轉(zhuǎn)折關系，故用并列連詞but。6C根據(jù)下文的“on her lap”可知，此處應表示“我漂亮的媽媽把我抱著放在她的腿上”。hold意為“抱著，托著”，符合語境。spin“快速旋轉(zhuǎn)”；possess“擁有”；walk“遛”。7D上文提到了作者正在看老照片，根據(jù)下文的“because my eyes were wet.the tears”可知作者流淚了，根據(jù)常識可知，此處表示這些老照片變得模糊(vague)了。blank“空白的”；abnormal“不正常的”。8A根據(jù)上文的“because my eyes were wet”和下文的“I hadnt cried the last time.But.”可知，作者這次看老照片的時候哭了，此處表示作者遏制不住眼淚。fight back“忍住，抑制住”，符合語境。fight with“與爭辯”；fight for“努力爭取”；fight against“對抗”。9B作者以前看老照片沒有哭，而這次看老照片卻哭了。所以作者想知道(wondered)發(fā)生了什么。find“發(fā)現(xiàn)，找到”；hesitate“猶豫，遲疑”；discuss“討論”。10C根據(jù)下文的“I soon saw that it was I who changed”可知，作者很快明白，是她自己和以前不一樣了。故之前作者想知道的問題是“現(xiàn)在有什么是不同的呢”。故選C項。11A根據(jù)下文的“My spirit had walked a little further”可知，此處應表示作者的心靈已經(jīng)在愛的道路(path)上走得更遠了一點了，即作者已經(jīng)成長(grown)了。12B參見上題解析。feast“宴會”；expectation“期望”； circle“圈子”。13D根據(jù)上文的“as long as they came with a warm heart”以及下文的“I smiled”可知，該句表示含淚的眼睛沒有什么(nothing)可羞愧的，只要它們伴隨著一顆溫暖的心而來。14C根據(jù)下文的“on me from Heaven”可知，此處表示作者感到媽媽和奶奶從天堂向下(down)沖著自己微笑。15A根據(jù)語境尤其是下文的“They clean out my eyeballs”可知，此處表示“眼淚清洗了我的眼球”，故選tears。16B根據(jù)下文的“They help us to wash away our pain，fear and grief(悲傷)They help us to.to be”可知，此處表示眼淚不僅清洗了我們的眼球，也清洗了我們的內(nèi)心(inside)。competence“能力”；identification“辨認”；development“發(fā)展”。17D第一段提到老照片讓作者的美好回憶重現(xiàn)，故這里應該是表示“眼淚幫助我們重新找回我們的愛和善良”。reconnect to“重新連接”，在這里引申為“重新找回”。look through“瀏覽”；clean out“把清洗干凈”。18D此處表示眼淚可以幫助我們成為我們想成為的人。be meant to do“打算，想要”。19C根據(jù)上文提到的眼淚的好處可知，此處表示下次你感覺到眼淚開始流的時候，那么就讓它們流下來吧。故選C項。20A生活中充滿笑和淚，只有允許它們都存在，我們才能真正地(truly)生活。roughly“粗略地”；generally“大體上”；tentatively“試探性地”。四、單句改錯1Her devotion in the job left her with

familiar to sb. “某物是某人所熟知的”。4My uncle says that he never dreams becoming rich in a short period of time._答案：dreams后加of或aboutdream of/about “夢想”。5He is so diligent that he never goes anywhere with a
