【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了美国最近兴起的一种居住方式,不同家庭背景的人居住在一起.这种方式在美国被称为co-housing

1考查it的用法。句意:在许多国家,不同背景的家庭住在一起是很平常的。此处为固定句型:it is+形容词+to do,表示“做某事怎么样”,it作形式主语,故填it

2考查连接副词。句意:然而,在美国,这种想法可能仍然被认为是奇怪的。上句提到在很多国家这种现象很平常,然而在美国人们仍然认为这种想法很奇怪,表示转折关系,位于句首首字母大写,故填However

3考查非谓语动词。句意:但是这种被称为co-housing的住房在美国也越来越受欢迎。分析句子结构可知,call在句中作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语housing构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填called

4考查名词。句意同上。gain为动词,后跟名词作宾语,表示“流行,受欢迎”。故填popularity

5考查副词。句意:合住社区有私人拥有的房屋和共享的土地。修饰动词own应用副词,表示“私人地”。故填privately

6考查动词时态语态。句意:据一份报告称,近年来,已经建成了大约25个合住社区。根据时间状语,在最近几年in recent years,是现在完成时态的标志词,“社区”和“建立”是被动关系,用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been built

7考查定语从句。句意:合住小区是居民一起购物、做饭和吃饭的地方。本句为定语从句修饰先行词place,且先行词在从句中作地点状语,故用关系副词where。故填where

8考查代词。句意:他们喜欢这种共享社区的感觉。修饰名词sense应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its

9考查介词。句意:孩子们有其他孩子一起玩,这是很多家庭都喜欢的。根据短语play with,表示“与……玩耍”。故填with

10考查比较级。句意:居民们还表示,与附近的公寓相比,他们住在合租公寓里的钱要少得多。表示“比附近公寓租金要少”,且有“than”,所以用little的比较级less。故填less

【题目】 Chinese Paper Cutting or Jianzhi is the first type of paper-cutting design, since paper was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty in China.

It’s a very distinguishing visual art of Chinese handicrafts. The art form later spread to other parts of the world with different areas adopting their own cultural styles. After hundreds of year’s development, now they’ve become a very popular means of decoration among country folk, especially women. The paper-cuts are also used to decorate doors and windows, and therefore they’re sometimes referred to “chuang hua”, meaning Window Flower. Paper-cuts are chiefly used as decorations. However, today, Chinese paper-cuts are also used for religious and ceremonial purpose, and they’re buried with the dead and burned at funerals.

Chinese people believe the red paper-cuts on the door can bring good fortune and happiness to the whole family. The paper-cuts are more often seen during traditional Chinese festivals, particularly in Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival. They’re also given as gifts to friends or other family members.

Paper-cuttings aren’t produced by machine, but by hand. There’re two methods of manufacture (制造): one uses scissors, the other uses knives. Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers of paper on a relatively soft foundation (衬底). Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the paper with a sharp knife he usually holds vertically. The advantage of knife-cuttings is that considerably more paper cuttings can be made in one operation than with scissor cuttings.

It’s easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but difficult to master it with perfection. One must grasp the knife in an upright fashion and press evenly (均匀地) on the paper with some strength. Flexibility is required but any hesitation will damage the whole image.

People find hope and comfort in expressing wishes with paper-cutting. For instance: for a wedding ceremony, red paper-cuttings are a traditional decoration on the tea set, the dressing table glass, and on other furniture. A big red paper character ‘Xi’ (happiness) is a traditional must on the newlywed’s (新婚夫妇) door.

【题目】 Children are the parents' pride and joy. And we love our parents. Whenever we have difficulties or troubles, they are the people we turn to.

"Last year, I was fired several times. The real world is not easy, and it took a long time for me to find another job that I really loved. During that time, I was penniless for months. However, whenever my parents asked me if everything was ok, I told a lie. I should have been strong enough to make them not worry about me, I endured a frustrating time."
