Lets take a look at these Chinese elements through the designs.MedalsThe front side of the Winter Olympic medals was based on the ancient Chinese jade concentric circle pendants, with five rings representing “the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of peoples hearts”. The opposite side of the medals was inspired from a piece of Chinese jadeware(玉器) called “Bi”, a double jade disc with a round hole in the center.EmblemInspired by the Chinese character “冬” for “winter”, the upper part of the emblem resembles a skater and its lower part a skier. The ribbon-like decoration in between mainly symbolizes the host countrys rolling mountains, Games venues, ski courses and skating rinks.The blue color in the emblem represents dreams, the future and the purity of ice and snow, while red and yellowthe colors of Chinas national flag present passion, youth and vitality.MascotsBing Dwen Dwen, the cute mascot of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, attracts attention with the pandas full-body “shell” made out of ice. The inspiration came from traditional Chinese snack “ice-sugar gourd,” (tanghulu), while the shell also resembles a space suitembracing new technologies for a future of countless possibilities. “Bing” is the Chinese character for ice, which symbolizes purity and toughness. Dwen Dwen is a common nickname in China for children that suggests they are lovely, healthy and clever.21. Which of following is an inspiration of the emblem?A. A Chinese snack.B. Chinese jadeware.C.

Always having a pair of scissors on her also allows her to create art whenever inspiration hits. “Some people like to pen their feelings in diaries. I prefer to cut them out,” says the 35-year-old, who is currently working at the Fenglin community cultural activity center in Shanghai.Shi developed an interest in handicraft when she was a child who often found herself alone at home. Out of boredom, she would play with paper, folding and cutting them into different shapes. This interest later developed into a passion, one that she decided to pursue by majoring in arts and crafts design during her time in university.After graduation, however, she found herself working at a ship design company as she was unsure about what she wanted to do with her future. About a year later, the Shanghai Arts and Crafts Research Institute offered her a position in their paper-cutting department. Realizing that she still had a love for the craft, she switched her career.In 2010, she started learning paper-cutting from Xi Xiaoqin, the national inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage for paper-cutting. Three years later, one of her works, The Fighting Fish, won third place at the Baihua Cup, a competition for Chinese arts and crafts. Six years later, Shi was named a Shanghai paper-cutting inheritor and become the citys “youngest inheritor” of the paper-cutting heritage.24. What can we learn about Shi from Paragraph 1?A. Scissors are important for her for self-protection.B. Scissors are significant for her for artistic expression.C. She creates art by drawing whenever she has inspiration.D. She is a paper-cutting artist as well as a painter and writer.25. Why did Shi work at a ship design company after graduation?A. She was at a loss what to do in the future.B. She majored in ship design in university.C. She was sure that she loved to design ships.D. She wanted to be an inheritor of the company.26. What does the underlined word “switched” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Adopted.B. Hatched.C. Changed.D. Reformed.27. What can we infer from Shis experience?A. Interest is the best teacher.B. Pride goes before a fall.C. Its never too late to learn.D. All roads lead to Rome.【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. A【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了剪纸艺术家史秦岭从事剪纸的经过以及取得的成就。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“To this paper-cutting artist, Shi Qinling, scissors are like what brushes are to painters, or what pens are to writers. Always having a pair of scissors on her also allows her to create art whenever inspiration hits.(剪刀对于这位剪纸艺术家史秦岭来说，就像画笔对于画家，笔对于作家一样。总是带着一把剪刀也能让她在灵感来袭时创造艺术)”可知，剪刀对Shi的艺术表达意义重大。故选B。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“After graduation, however, she found herself working at a ship design company as she was unsure about what she wanted to do with her future.(然而，毕业后，她发现自己在一家船舶设计公司工作，因为她不确定自己未来想做什么)”可知，Shi毕业后在船舶设计公司工作是因为她不知道将来要做什么。故选A。【26题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中“After graduation, however, she found herself working at a ship design company as she was unsure about what she wanted to do with her future. About a year later, the Shanghai Arts and Crafts Research Institute offered her a position in their paper-cutting department.(然而，毕业后，她发现自己在一家船舶设计公司工作，因为她不确定自己未来想做什么。大约一年后，上海工艺美术研究院给她提供了一个剪纸部门的职位)”以及画线词上文“Realizing that she still had a love for the craft, she”可知，Shi一开始在船舶设计公司工作，后来意识到自己喜欢剪纸，所以改变了职业。故画线词意思是“改变”。故选C。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Shi developed an interest in handicraft when she was a child who often found herself alone at home. Out of boredom, she would play with paper, folding and cutting them into different shapes. This interest later developed into a passion, one that she decided to pursue by majoring in arts and crafts design during her time in university.(当她还是个经常独自在家的孩子时，她就对手工产生了兴趣。无聊的时候，她会玩纸，把它们折成不同的形状。这种兴趣后来发展成一种热情，她决定在大学期间主修工艺美术设计)”结合文章主要讲述了剪纸艺术家史秦岭从事剪纸的经过
