Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular folk arts. Archaeological(考古学的) finds show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.
Paper cuttings have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuttings on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.
Paper cuttings are not produced by machine, but by hand. They are done all over China, but are different in the method in different areas. There are two kinds of paper cuttings: by using scissors or knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper(up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.
In the past, paper cuttings were usually made only by women and girls. They used scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach blossoms, mice, fighting roosters and rabbits eating carrots.
This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.

B
The summer before my senior year of high school, I was eating in a cafeteria with some other high school students, and one girl asked me, “Do you live in a teepee(圆锥形帐篷)?” It was such a silly question that, at first, I thought she was joking! I said, “Are you serious?” She said, “Oh, wait, I’m sorry. Is that something I shouldn’t ask?” She wasn’t trying to be rude, so it didn’t bother me. I just said, “No, I have a house with electricity and running water. I’m not disconnected from the world!” But the truth is, I did grow up differently.
I’m a Native American, and I’m from a reservation in California. A reservation is a place that’s reserved for Native American tribes(部落) by the federal government.
People often have misconceptions about what living on a reservation means. In reality, though, my life probably looks a lot like yours. But there are ways that my life has been different. The reservation is an hour from town, and there’s a big connection to the land. Our house is surrounded by a mountain, a river, and a farm. We have 23 animals including 10 chickens. It’s not just for show! We collect eggs from the chickens, use manure(粪肥) from the animals to fertilise soil, and pick fruit and vegetables from our garden.
I’ve also learned how to hunt and fish. When hunting for deer, my tribe has two rules: ①Never shoot a female deer, because she might be pregnant; ②If you kill a deer, find a way to use all of it.
Going to college has been a big change for me. There were only 25 people in my graduating class, and now I go to school with thousands. On my reservation, I was surrounded mostly by Natives, and at college, the Native population is only 0.07%. It’s intimidating but also exciting.
I’m studying to become a vet—there aren’t any on my reservation. If an animal gets sick, we have to drive an hour to get them help. My goal is to open a veterinary clinic that will help my reservation develop.
5. Why did the girl ask the author if he/she lived in a teepee?
A. She was silly.
B. She liked teepees.
C. She was just curious.
D. She was being rude to the author.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中女孩所说的“Oh, wait, I’m sorry. Is that something I shouldn’t ask?”可推断她只是出于好奇才问这个问题。故选C。
答案:C
6. How is the life on the reservation where the author grew up?
A. It’s pretty hard.
B. It’s very boring.
C. It’s close to nature.
D. It’s just like the city life.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“... there’s a big connection to the land. Our house is surrounded by a mountain ... our garden.”可推断,作者成长的地方的生活比较亲近自然。故选C。
答案:C
7. What about the rules mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. Quite eco-friendly.
B. Frequently broken.
C. Very unreasonable.
D. Difficult to understand.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Never shoot a female deer, because she might be pregnant”及“If you kill a deer, find a way to use all of it.”可推断,这两条规定非常注重对生态环境的保护。故选A。
答案:A
8. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Tiring.
B. Annoying.
C. Interesting.
D. Frightening.
解析:词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“Going to college has been a big change for me.”及下文提到的学校人数变得很多、身边的土著人所占比例极小可推断,这种与以往截然不同的生活对作者来说有点“恐怖”但也很令人兴奋。故画线词的意思应是frightening。故选D。
答案:D
C
This may be sad to hear, but the number of Britain’s famous red telephone boxes has been falling for decades. The phone box is iconic to foreign fans of Britain and visitors to the country. There are still many left to enjoy, however.
There is a deep feeling for the bright red iron-and-glass boxes with the Queen’s coat of arms. The places that still have the red box are mostly small and in the countryside. In these places, the phone box may be a symbol of community, as well as a landmark.
But there are still several cities, including London, that still have original red phone boxes in place.
For tourists, they probably make the perfect background for a selfie(自拍照). Visit London any day in the summer and you’ll see people with their smartphones taking photos with the red box behind them. People who receive the photo will have no trouble guessing where the selfie was taken.
Ever since mobile phones became more widespread, there has been less and less point in public phones. But although the red boxes are no longer popular places to make a call from, new uses are being found for them all the time. The famous design created by Giles Gilbert Scott back in 1924 lives on, but in ways the British architect would never have imagined.
Some of the new ways the phone boxes are being used are quite unusual. For example, some have been changed into tiny coffee shops. Others are hat stores. In one remote area of the country, a red box that had not been used for a long time has been turned into a small lending library.
Even back in their heyday in the last century, phone boxes were put to other uses. Some people even used them as toilets in an emergency.
But for many, they were a safe place to hide if you were caught up in the rain. Britain’s weather is unpredictable: sun one moment, heavy rain the next. So if you are planning to visit the UK and want the perfect British selfie, standing inside a red telephone box in a rainstorm may be your best bet.
9. Why are the red phone boxes in Britain special according to the text?
A.They can be put into different kinds of use.
B. They are only used in the British countryside.
C. They hold great meaning to some British communities.
D. They have a deep connection with the royal family.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In these places, the phone box may be a symbol of community, as well as a landmark.”可知,红色电话亭对某些社区来说有很重要的意义。故选C。
答案:C
10. What can we learn about British red phone boxes from the text?
A. They are mostly made of wood and glass.
B. They first appeared in big cities such as London.
C. They were designed by a British architect in the 1930s.
D. They are not used much for phone calls these days.
解析:推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“But although the red boxes are no longer popular places to make a call from ...” 可知,红色电话亭不再是人们打电话的热门地方。故选 D。
答案:D
11. What does the underlined word “heyday” in the second to last paragraph probably mean?
A. A popular time.
B. A bad time.
C. An unusual time.
D. A happy time.
解析:词义猜测题。根据语境及“Even back”可知,与现在相比,20世纪是电话亭使用最多的时期。故选A。
答案:A
12. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To explain how to deal with Britain’s changeable weather.
B. To describe a common way of making use of a red phone box in the UK.
C. To advise visitors to take a selfie standing inside a red telephone box.
D. To show how to use a red phone box in case of an emergency.
解析:写作意图题。最后一段第一句“But for many, they were a safe place to hide if you were caught up in the rain.” 是本段的主题句,本段主要讲述了红色电话亭在英国的一种常见的使用方法。故选B。
答案:B

Ⅳ. 阅读理解。
I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip: to Canada.
Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.
After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St. Catherine’s Street. While we walked, two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine. 
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy(肉汁). It is delicious.
However, we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world. But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical sites and monuments in Montreal. But at night we’d head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.
1. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from paragraphs 3-4?
A. The author and his friends couldn’t wait to explore the city.
B. The author wasn’t used to the weather of Montreal.
C. The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.
D. Montreal often holds fashion shows.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St. Catherine’s street.”可知,作者和他的朋友迫不及待地想参观蒙特利尔;根据第四段第三句 “To hide from the cold we went into a small diner ...”可推知作者和他朋友并不适应那里的寒冷;根据第三段最后两句可推知蒙特利尔人非常注重着装;D项文章没有提及。故选D。
答案:D
2. What can we infer from the text?
A. The author often went to China for a visit.
B. The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.
C. All the people in the diner were locals.
D. The author went to Montreal on business.
解析:细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.”可知,作者和他朋友在餐馆碰到的人非常友好并且乐于助人。故选B。
答案:B
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. The author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised.
B. The author took a trip to Montreal—the third largest city in Canada.
C. Montreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year.
D. Montreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段末句“Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.”可知,蒙特利尔既有往昔的风采,也有现代的气息。故选D。
答案:D
