【解析】文章介绍了中国书法的起源,特点等知识。

【1】 考查冠词。the most important…意为“最重要的……”,most important是important的最高级形式,最高级前加定冠词the。

【2】 考查代词。its是形容词性物主代词,意为“它的”,修饰后面的名词beauty, grace (优雅), and history

【3】 考查名词。origin是名词,意为“起源”。该空谓语动词为are,根据主谓一致原则,主语要用名词复数形式。

【4】 考查介词。unite China as/into one country意为“把中国统一为一个国家”。

【5】 考查非谓语动词。句意:他简化了汉字,设立了法规,使得人们学习变得更容易。“making it easier for people to learn and master”是现在分词作结果状语。

【6】 考查副词。freely是副词,修饰动词write。句意:它(草书)书写随意,但读起来并不是那么容易。

【7】 考查非谓语动词。句意:今天,中国书法再次成为学校里学习的科目,也成为了全世界高度欣赏的一门艺术。“appreciated across the world”是过去分词作定语,修饰an art。an art和appreciate之间是被动关系。

【8】 考查名词性从句。句意:任何人都可以练习它(书法)。只需要一套简单的东西:毛笔,墨和纸。“what is required”是主语从句,该从句缺少主语,且表示名词意思“所需要的东西”,故该空填what。

【9】 考查时态和语态。主语为natural talent,该空作谓语。主语和need之间是被动关系,且该句介绍的客观事实,故该空要用一般现在时态。

【10】 考查名词。of是介词,后面接名词作宾语。of benefit意为“有益的”,相当于“beneficial”。

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, ”Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I'm not a fish!” I didn't know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don't have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes…The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn't completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.
(1)Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?
A.He could not catch a fish

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
(1)What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?
A.Using too much packaging.
B.Recycling too many wastes.
C.Making more products than necessary.
D.Having more material than is needed.
(2)The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.
A.the tendency of cutting household waste
B.the increase of packaging recycling
C.the rapid growth of supermarkets
D.the fact of packaging overuse
(3)What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.
B.Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C.It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
D.Other products are better packaged than food.
(4)What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
B.Needless material is mostly recycled.
C.People like collecting recyclable waste.
D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.

With the rapid development of China's economy, more and more foreigners begin to learn Chinese because they are beginning to realize the importance and growing influence of China. Pupils in Warwickshire will soon be learning Mandarin after new links were forged(建立联系) with a region in China.
Head teachers from the county spent a week in Shenzhen in South-east China, making links with schools and touring different education establishments.
Schools that took part are now looking to introduce Mandarin lessons. Pupils from schools in Warwickshire and Shenzhen are starting to write and e-mail each other and plans are being made to share lessons over the Internet.
The trip was arranged by Warwickshire County Council and funded by the British Council as the first stage of development of a range of ties with the economically booming city.
International development officer Judith Young said: “We are entering an exciting period of school relation between Warwickshire and Shenzhen. There is a real appetite for sharing ideas among the Chinese. We were able to see the differences and similarities between the education systems and there are many areas in which our schools, teachers and pupils will be able to benefit from a different cultural perspective(观点) and links with a country that is becoming very important on the world stage.
Throughout the high profile(引人注目) visit led by our county education officer, Eric Wood, our group was made to feel very welcome and attracted a great deal of interest. Our visit to a primary school was featured as the main news item on television that night.

Compliments can be sent in all shapes and sizes. They can range from congratulating co-workers on their hard work to telling someone how good that shirt looks on him or her. In other words, compliments, no matter how small or great they are, can make anyone feel good. Next time, if you want to give someone some compliments, keep these tips in mind.
Perfect your compliments. People feel much more appreciated when you say exactly why you think that person deserves some praise. That's to say, back your compliments up with examples of why you think that person did a good job.
Don't put it off. Too many people wait until what they think is the perfect moment to send a compliment. What you have in your head as a perfect moment may never happen. If you feel that a compliment is appropriate, the best time is now.
Don't ever tell someone that something he or she has done is great and then point out what he or she was doing beforehand wasn't so great. Compliments are meant to make people feel good, and that's it. Don't bring other things into them because comparing the present and the past can just make someone feel bad about themselves.
Be selfless. Not only is this very selfish, but it destroys all of the sincerity right out of the compliments. If you think someone's hair looks nice, say so — but don't do it just because you're having a new hairstyle and want some validation (确认) for your own look.
A. Give a 100% compliment.
B. Don't be one of those people!
C. It's always a nice idea to give a compliment with a smile.
D. The best compliment leaves no room for any misunderstanding.
E. Your sincere compliments can make someone's entire day better.
F. Never compliment someone because you want a compliment back.
G. Adding examples makes your compliments more sincere and effective.

Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around the world. War, weather, age, traffic and pollution damage these famous places. Looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.
In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to preserve our history. If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after important historic places. Also, if they discovered that a monument needed urgent help, they would have money for repairs. For these reasons, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage Organization in 1972. Today, the organization helps to maintain and restore the most important places from our history.
However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism. People sometimes enter the sites and destroy or damage the buildings. At some sites, such as Stonehenge(巨石阵)in England, governments have built high fences to protect the site from vandals.
There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism. Stone experts say that if guards patrolled the sites, vandals would not be able to get in. Some experts say that if they fixed more television cameras, they would not need so many guards. Other experts say that the best solution is education. If people learned to respect history, they would not destroy or damage it. They would also want to spend money looking after old places. For this reason, the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic sites.
(1)Why did countries all over the world unite to form the World Heritage Organization?
A.It would be able to keep our history.

(2)Which of the following shows us the action of vandalism?
A.People enter the sites and cause damage to the buildings
B.Governments build high fences to protect the site from vandals
C.Guards patrolled the sites and they fixed more television cameras
D.They collect as much money as they can to preserve the buildings
(3)What's the best way to solve the biggest problem of preserving our history?
A.Every country spends more money looking after these places
B.To form the World Heritage Organization
