• 3．When Wang Haiyan was young，her favorite toys weren't Barbie dolls.Instead，she started learning to make shadow puppets（皮影） from her father at 13.Now 43，Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.
     Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather（皮） or paper，accompanied（伴隨） by music and singing.Invented during the Western Han Dynasty （206 BC - AD 24），it tells us about folklore（民間傳說） and historical stories，passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.
     Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them.Wang's hometown of Hua County，Shaanxi，is known as the birthplace of the folk art.
     Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets，including washing the leather，carving（雕刻），and painting，according to Wang.Carving is the most difficult part. "We have a special carving technique - moving the leather under the knife，" Wang said. "You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand."
     It took Wang three years to master this skill.She used a brick（磚塊） to strengthen her left hand while practicing.It takes about 3，000 carves to make a shadow puppet. "The complicated（復(fù)雜的） steps make it hard to hand down the folk art，" she said.
     But Wang has found a way to do so.In 2016，she made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series HuyaoXiaohongniang（《狐妖小紅娘》） and gave a livestreaming performance.She used colors like blue and purple that are hardly seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance livelier.
  
  （1）What does the second paragraph explain？

  
  A．Why Wang is interested in shadow puppetry.
  B．When shadow puppetry became popular.
  C．What shadow puppetry is.
  （2）Which is the hardest step in making a puppet？

  
  A．Washing the leather.
  B．Carving the leather.
  C．Painting the leather.
  （3）According to Wang，why is it difficult to spread shadow puppetry？

  
  A．It's difficult to learn to make puppets.
  B．This art is only known in a small county.
  C．It requires people of great strength to perform the art.
  （4）What is the last paragraph about？

  
  A．The difficulties in performing this art online.
  B．Improvements in making puppets.
  C．The efforts Wang made to spread this art.
  （5）What do we know from the passage？

  
  A．Wang spent 13 years learning to carve puppets.
  B．Wang enjoys getting young people interested in this art.
  C．Wang has set up a company to make and sell shadow puppets.

第三節(jié)

• 9．Most people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their language learning． （1）They think that the older they get，the harder it is to learn new languages． So，at some point in our lives，maybe around age 17 or 18 ，we lose the ability to learn languages well． （2）他們相信孩子們學(xué)習(xí)語言是容易的．
      Is this idea a fact？On the contrary（相反），research studies suggest that the opposite may be true．One report，on 2 ，000 Chinese children studying English，showed that the teenagers learned more，in less time，than the younger children．Another report，on Americans learning Russian，showed a direct improvement of ability over the age range tested；that is， （3）the ability to learn increased as the age increased．
      There are several possible explanations for these findings． （4）首先，成人擅長通過思考來了解這個世界，so they are able to understand meanings more easily than children．Moreover，adults can use logical thinking to help themselves see patterns in the language．Finally，adults have more self-discipline（自律）than children．
      All in all，it seems that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not be a fact． （5）Please always remind yourself it's never too late to learn．
