题3分,满分9分)
阅读短文,回答问题。前3题每题答案不超过
10个词。
Two friends, Lucas Lu and Sara Wang, are
sitting in a cafe.
Lucas: (Reading on his phone.) Have you heard?
China's skill of building wooden arch bridges
(拱桥) is now on the list of UNESCO
Intangible Cultural Heritage(非物质文化遗
产).
Sara: Really? Are these bridges still there?
Lucas: (Searching on his phone.) Yes, there are
more than 100 of them. Most are in Zhejiang
and Fujian.
Sara: But if they are very old bridges, how can they
still be there? I mean, shouldn't they be
falling down or even long gone?
Lucas: Well, I think it's because of the skill of their
"mortise and tenon" structure(榫卯结构).
Ancient people built these bridges without
using nails(钉子). Basically, builders use
mortise and tenon joints to fit two sets of
beams(梁) together. The longer beams are
as long as the main body of the bridge.
Mortises are cut into their ends. The shorter
beams have tenons at their ends. The tenons
are carefully fit into the mortises. Then the
beams form a solid arch to support the
bridge.
Sara: That sounds like a very difficult skill.
Lucas: It certainly is. And when designing a wooden
arch bridge, designers have to think about a
lot of things, such as traffic flow and
fengshui. They must also find out about the
area's land and soil.
Sara: It's a lot more than just getting from one place
to another.
Lucas: Exactly! In fact, the skill has been passed
down since the Song Dynasty. But modern
technology has made it seem out of date.
Sara: I hope more people will see it as it's now on
the UNESCO list.
Lucas: Me too! It would be sad if we lost this
ancient wisdom.
41. What is the most amazing and challenging skill
in building these ancient bridges?

42. What things do builders have to consider when
designing these bridges? Please name two
things.

43. When did people first use this skill to build
things?

44. As a Chinese teenager, how would you help
protect this skill?

答案： 41. The skill of the “mortise and tenon” structure.
根据“Well，I think it’s because of the skill of their ‘mortise and tenon’ structure.”可知，建造这些古桥最令人惊叹和具有挑战性的技艺是榫卯结构技艺。
42. Traffic flow and fengshui./The area’s land and soil. 根据“And when designing…designers have to think about…such as…They must also…”可知，建造者在设计这些桥时必须考虑交通流量和风水以及该地区的土地土壤，从中任选两个作答即可。
43. In the Song Dynasty. 根据“In fact，the skill has been passed down since the Song Dynasty.”可知答案。
44. Share Online. I can post short videos or photos of the skill to show its beauty and clever design./Learn and try. I can study it and practise making simple models./Introduce the skill to our friends and families. 开放性试题，答案合理即可。

六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或
括号内单词的正确形式。
The first Lion King movie came out in 1994. It
became a big success and a favorite of many
children. More Lion King movies and TV shows
45. have followed (follow) since then.
Five years ago, we saw a photorealistic(高度逼
真的) remake of The Lion King. People preferred
46. to watch (watch) this movie instead of other
movies. It quickly became the top-earning animated
movie(动画电影). That record stayed unbroken
47. until/before Inside Out 2 broke it.
Now, Mufasa: The Lion King is here to build
upon the 2019 movie. It is also a prequel(前传) to
the old story. 48. The whole movie is
Rafiki's memories. He tells Kiara, the daughter of
Simba and Nala, how her grandfather, Mufasa,
became the king.
Mufasa lost his family in a flood when he was
little. He 49. was accepted (accept) by the family of
another cub, Taka. From there, Mufasa, a
50. second (two) child in a new family, began
his hard life and overcame lots of 51. difficulties
(difficult). Finally, he found his true self. The
story also tells how Taka, a kind boy, became the
evil Scar.
As a Disney movie, Mufasa 52. teaches (teach)
life lessons. But it moves a little away from the
usual storytelling. It also takes the animation(动
画技术) a step 53. further (far). Everything in
the movie looks more real. You can almost feel the
fur of the lions. Some might say the movie is missing
one thing, though. It doesn't come with catchy
songs, like "Circle of Life" or "Hakuna Matata".
But this doesn't make it any less enjoyable.
In fact, for Lion King fans, Mufasa ends
54. in an interesting way. Kiara is going
to tell her newborn brother, Kion, a story about a
great ruler. Will it be their grandfather's, or just
hers? We will wait and see.

答案： 45. have followed 根据空后since then可知，句子时态为现在完成时，主语为movies and TV shows，应填have followed。
46. to watch prefer to do sth意为“更喜欢做某事”。
47. until/before 此处指这一纪录一直保持到《头脑特工队2》打破它/这一纪录在《头脑特工队2》打破之前一直未被打破，until“直到”和before“在……之前”均符合句意。
48. The 此处特指《狮子王：木法沙传奇》这部电影，应用定冠词the；位于句首字母大写。
49. was accepted 此处表示过去的事情，句子时态为一般过去时；结合by the family of another cub可知，用被动语态；主语为He，be动词用was。
50. second 此处表示又一个孩子，“a+序数词”表示“又一，再一”，故此处用序数词。
51. difficulties difficulty意为“困难”，是可数名词，根据空前的lots of可知，应填difficulties。
52. teaches 此处表示事实，句子时态为一般现在时，主语Mufasa为第三人称单数，谓语也应用三单形式。
53. further 句意：它还将动画技术向前推进了一步。a step further“更进一步”。
54. in 句意：《木法沙传奇》的结局很有趣。in…way“以……方式”，是固定搭配。
