ChineseYuxianPaper-cut【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了中國蔚縣剪紙。（1）考查段落大意。根據(jù)第一段可知，介紹了中國剪紙的起源。故選B。（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“ThesuccessfulmakingofaYuxianpaper-cutis30percentdependentonthemaker'scuttingskills,and70percentonthemaker'sdyeingskills.”蔚縣剪紙的成功制作30%取決于制作人的切割技巧，70%取決于制作人的染色技巧?？芍旧记蓪?duì)于剪紙最重要。故選C。（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Thepaper-cutisparticularlyknownforitsvividdescriptionofcharactersinvarioustraditionalChineseoperas”剪紙以其對(duì)各種傳統(tǒng)戲曲中人物的生動(dòng)描述而聞名?？芍?，選A。（4）考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知，短文主要介紹了蔚縣剪紙有四個(gè)主要步驟。制作蔚縣剪紙需要精確的切割技巧，這突出了手工藝者的藝術(shù)品味和染色技巧。傳統(tǒng)蔚縣剪紙突出了兩個(gè)主題:中國戲曲中的花和人物。這些都是圍繞著“中國蔚縣剪紙”這個(gè)主題展開的。故選D?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，段落大意和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。2．閱讀理解

Whymakemistakes【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）B【解析】【分析】這是一篇關(guān)于風(fēng)俗文化的文章。文章介紹了在韓國穿著鞋子在家里是不禮貌的和OK這個(gè)手勢(shì)在美國和巴西的不同以及泰國的飲食文化，告訴我們?yōu)榱吮苊庹`會(huì)一定要學(xué)會(huì)你所想去國家的文化即入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，如果我們不小心觸碰到了他們的文化要立刻道歉并改正。（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中Becausehermouthwasfulloffood,EllamadeasignwithherhandthattohermeantOK.AlthoughEllameantthefoodwasgood,thissymbolinBraziliancultureisextremelyrudeandherhostwasdeeplyannoyed.可知，她因?yàn)樽炖镉袞|西故用手勢(shì)表示OK，但這個(gè)手勢(shì)在主人所在國家是非常粗魯?shù)囊馑?，所以主人生氣是因?yàn)檎`會(huì)了她，故選B。（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段Later,shediscoveredthatalthoughinsectsaredisgustingtomostAmericans,theyareconsideredadelicacy(佳肴)insomecountries.可知，昆蟲在一些國家也是佳肴，故選D。注意A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，文章是說Shewasreallyenjoyingeatingthemuntilshegotthelastoneandnoticedthattherewasaninsectinside.她發(fā)現(xiàn)有只昆蟲在春卷里，并沒有提到她吃了昆蟲。（3）主旨大意題。本文講了不同國家有不同的風(fēng)俗，并告訴我們要入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，故B項(xiàng)“WheninRome,DoastheRomansDo”即入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，適合作文章題目。3．閱讀理解
