The potters (陶工) of Kumartuli spend the entire year sculpting models of Hindu gods for various religious festivals. The techniques used to create these idols (神像) have been passed down from generation to generation and are fiercelyprotected family secrets. By tradition, the craft was taught to brothers and sons. Today, some women are sculptors, too.The best time to visit Kumartuli is between March and late August.That is when artisans are sculpting idols of Durga, a Hindu goddess, and her children for Durga Puja, a major Hindu festival celebrated for 10 days each year, typically in late September.“Each complete figure takes almost three months to make,” explains potter Naresh Chandra Pal.“The seniormost sculptor in the family then performs Chokkhu Daan,which means gifting eyesight.”A potter paints the idols eyes,which, according to popular belief, symbolizes breathing life into it.Most idols are more than 10 feet tall.“Idolmaking forms a large part of Indias slowlydying artistic and cultural heritage (遗产),” says Haru Pal, a Kumartuli artisan.“This makes the tradition even more important.”Despite their talents, most of these artisans remain largely unknown in India. Families live in crowded apartments by their workshops.“The younger generation is unwilling to make idolmaking their profession,” says Ramesh Pal.“We are neither appreciated enough nor given a proper income.”The government has promised to build modern housing and repair the workshops in Kumartuli. A community art studio is also planned.“However,” Ramesh says,“the government has yet to carry out these promises.”语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了印度日渐衰落的制作神像的传统工艺。4What do we know about Kumartuli?AIts major industry is tourism.BIt is an important city in India.CThe name is related to its location.DThere are many craftsmen living there.解析:选D细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句可知,在Kumartuli居住着许多传统的手艺人。5Where might you find the sculptures?AIn most Indian houses.BAt a festival celebration.CIn some urban communities.DAt a souvenir shop for tourists.解析:选B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“sculpting models of Hindu gods for various religious festivals”和第三段的内容可以推知,在印度各宗教节日的庆典上,人们都可以看到这些雕像。6What can we infer from Naresh Chandra Pals words?AThe craft will disappear gradually.BThe Indians believe in various gods.CThe idolmaking is passed down to males.DThe sculpting of idols eyes is very important.解析:选D推理判断题。根据第四段中Naresh Chandra Pal所说的“The seniormost sculptor in the family then performs Chokkhu Daan, which means gifting eyesight”可以推知,神像眼睛的雕刻是最重要的。7What is the idolmaking artisans life like?AHard.BRestless.CWealthy. DRespectable.解析:选A推理判断题。根据第一段中的“sculptors working hard in small, sometimes shabby, workshops”和倒数第二段中的“Families live in crowded apartments by their workshops . We are neither appreciated enough nor given a proper income.”可以推知,这些手艺人的生活很艰难。CDogs are called mans best friends, and owners who dont play with their dogs find their pets suffer behavior problems such as anxiety and aggression, according to a survey.Dogs show symptoms such as “complaining and jumping up, as well as pulling on the lead and not coming when called”, the study of 4,000 dog owners said. And scientists are beginning to agree that play is the key to a dogs happiness.The research, carried out by Emily Blackwell of Bristol University, showed just one in five owners played with their dogs six times a day, while half played twice or three times a day with their pets and 10 percent played just once. The study found that there was “a growing acceptance” that the “frequency of play for dogs is a really good indicator of their quality of life”. There is a clear association in the results. Owners report more potential behavior problems in dogs that play less.The survey, which will be broadcast on the Channel 4 program Dogs: Their Secret Lives, also shows that a dogs favorite game is “fetch”, according to 43 percent of owners. However, Laura Dobb, who took part in the show, said if she threw her rescue dog Nash a tennis ball, he would throw it up in the air but wouldnt bring it back.The type of game owners played with their pets was important, according to one expert, who said that owners needed to find out which ones their animals enjoyed rather than “imposing a game”. When owners chose to play tug with their pets, he added that it was “rubbish” if they felt they had to let their dogs win out of fear. The animal would “dominate (主宰) their whole life”语篇解读:调查发现,与狗玩耍是狗幸福生活的关键。8What plays an important part in a dogs happiness?AMaking friends with it.BComplaining about it.CPulling on the lead.DPlaying with it often.解析:选D细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知,答案应为D选项。9It can be learned that the game “fetch” is _.Aa game that all dogs will prefer to playBa game that a dog catches something and brings it backCa dogs game that becomes popular because of the Channel 4Da game that can show the secret of dogs lives解析:选B推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句的描述以及fetch的本意“取回”,可断定这种游戏是主人扔出某物然后狗接住并送回。10If we impose a game to a dog, it is quite possible that _.Athe dog quite enjoys the gameBthe game is quite popular among dogsCthis is a newly invented dog gameDthe game may not be the dogs cup of tea解析:选D推理判断题。此题的关键在于对rather than的准确理解,由前文的狗喜欢的游戏到后半句的而不是imposing a game 可推断出这是“强加的游戏”。.阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You might think that to lose weight you need to do plenty of exercise pedalling speedily on an exercise bike, for example, or doing lengths in your local pool._11_These were the findings of an experiment comparing the benefits of exercise and hot baths that was carried out by Dr Steve Faulkner of Loughborough University._12_ Their blood sugar level was watched and the number of calories (卡路里) they burnt was measured.The experiment was then repeated, but instead of having a bath, the participants did an hours heavy exercise on a bike._13_“What we found,” said Dr Faulkner, “was an 80% increase in energy consumption, just as a result of sitting in the bath for the course of an hour.”_14_ The amount of blood sugar in the blood after a meal was on average 10% lower after the bath compared to that after exercise.Dr Faulkners explanation for the results is that when you are in a hot bath, the sugar from the bloodstream to the muscles will change.Its important to keep blood sugar levels down to avoid damage to the arteries (动脉) and nerves._15_ You should aim to do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week.But, if you are one of those people who need to control their blood sugar levels or find it hard to exercise, why wait?
