Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。
Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to represent the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.

According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Paper cutting has been around for more than 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.

Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.

Answer 1

【答案】Common；Introduction；stand；bamboo；asking；over；shapes/forms/pictures；for；though；another
【解析】本文是一篇說明文。介紹了中國傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)的美蘊含在民間普通藝術(shù)品中，如孔明燈，剪紙，制陶等。
①Common 根據(jù)上下文可知此處標題應(yīng)該為，"美藏在普通物品中"；而且要注意標題中每個單詞的首字母要大寫。
②Introduction 根據(jù)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和右表的內(nèi)容可知是總體介紹本文的內(nèi)容。故填I(lǐng)ntroduction。
③stand 根據(jù)句意可知有些由普通物品制成中國傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)形式代表它們在生活中的重要的東西。與后面的for 構(gòu)成詞組stand for, 意為"代表，象征"。
④bamboo 根據(jù)第二段中的"They are made of bamboo and covered with paper."，可知孔明燈是由竹子和紙構(gòu)成。
⑤asking 根據(jù)第二段中的"He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble."可知最初孔明燈是用來向他人求助的。ask for help意為："求助"。在介詞for后用動名詞。
⑥over 根據(jù)第三段的第一句話Paper cutting has been around for more than 1,500 years.可知剪紙歷史超過1500年。over與more than同義，意為："超過"。
⑦shapes/forms/pictures 根據(jù)第三段中的The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. 可知剪紙以不同形狀/形式/圖畫出現(xiàn)。
⑧for 根據(jù)第三段的最后一句可知剪紙代表著對春節(jié)的美好祝愿，用represent……for……表達。
⑨t(yī)hough 根據(jù)第四段中的the clay pieces are so small but they look very real.可知它雖然小但逼真。it is small放在后面，所以用though"雖然"，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。
⑩another 根據(jù)最后一段中的then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. 可知在手工塑型后還有四個步驟，用another表示"還；另外的"。
