Knife and scissors sharpening (磨剪子戗菜刀) was once a popular job decades ago in China. This traditional craft has gradually disappeared from urban life as the business simply became spare over time in modern advanced technology times.
Chen Guangfu, a 79-year-old man, has been doing the traditional business in Shenzhen for 26 years. Most of the time, he travels from one housing area to another with his tools.
Chen is from Bozhou, Anhui Province. In 1961, he learned to forge (锻造) iron when he was 17. In 1997, Chen quit his village job and decided to start his job in Shenzhen as a craftsman to sharpen knives and scissors. He said he likes the job as he is free on deciding his working time, and it also helps to realize his value of life. Over the past 26 years, the craftsman has experienced the changes of the city, and experienced the gradual disappearance of the old profession.
Since the 1980s, the clothing industry in Shenzhen has flourished (繁荣). And scissors are one of the indispensable tools for making clothes. However, with less and less clothing factories left now, and lifestyle changes caused people to buy classier knives and scissors rather than keep old ones. Knife sharpeners are therefore rarely to be found in the city today.
“Shenzhen is developing too fast,” Chen said. He has witnessed the rapid development of the city and felt its inclusiveness (包容性) and friendliness. But Chen said he would keep on doing the job as long as he is needed. “Now it doesn’t matter to me whether I make money or not from the job. I just want to keep this skill.”
8. How old was Chen when he chose to work in Shenzhen
A. He was 53 years old. B. He was 26 years old.
C. He was 17 years old. D. He was 79 years old.
9. According to the passage, why are knife sharpeners unpopular now in Shenzhen
A. The skills of the sharpeners became worse and worse.
B. It is too expensive for people to retain their old clothes.
C. Those old tools are out of date and useless for people today.
D. The lifestyle of people in Shenzhen has changed now.
10. Which words can be used to describe Shenzhen in Chen’s eyes
A. Wealthy, modern and friendly. B. Young, fashionable and beautiful.
C. Developing, open-minded and nice. D. International, peaceful and flourished.
11. In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage
A. Travel. B. People. C. Business. D. Technology.
D
“There is no magic in treating people’s troubles. I just listen, observe (观察) and learn,” said Fu Yingchun, 34, a psychological counselor (心理咨询师) of nine years.
Fu, based in Shanghai, accepts appointments (预约) online. A session (场) of counseling, where visitors share their stories, usually lasts an hour.
“Many troubles visitors face may come from dealing with relationships and sudden events,” Fu said, adding that the most common symptoms (症状) are anxiety, feeling scared and depression (抑郁).
The purpose of the sessions is to observe the guests, discovering their hidden emotions (情绪), needs and wishes that they aren’t ready to share. For example, when a visitor is unhappy about the room temperature, it may be that the person is hiding some other problems, said Fu. So, counselors have to not only notice the tiny details of the visitors’ behaviors but also, “translate” them based on their professional knowledge. “It’s easier than it seems because I use empathy (同理心), so their behavior is quite understandable,” Fu said. Hearing people’s day-to-day troubles, counselors may have their down days, too. “This is why every counselor must report to their own senior counselor. The sessions are like releases (宣泄) for bad emotions,” Fu said.
However, , Fu doesn’t regard her job as being a “garbage (垃圾)” bin for people’s complains (抱怨). “Most of the time, I think my work has a strong social value because, in a way, counselors also save lives,” Fu said. Seeing her “patients” walking out of their gloomy (阴郁的) mental states, Fu gets a sense of self-worth. “Also, I see visitors’ life problems as life lessons,” she added.
12. What do the visitors do in a session
A. Make an appointment online. B. Deal with their relationships with others.
C. Share their stories. D. Think about their symptoms.
13. How does Fu Yingchun do her job
A. Teach her visitors some professional knowledge.
B. Tell her own stories to her visitors.
C. Comfort her visitors by controlling the room temperature.
D. See reasons behind the visitors’ behaviors.
14. What do counselors do to get through their down days
A. Take time off work.
B. Stay away from other people.
C. Report to their own senior counselor.
D. Share their own feelings in their patients’ sessions.
15. How might Fu see her job
A. Worthwhile. B. Boring. C. Useless. D. Magical.

To respect your decisions is a simple and powerful quality of a person but it’s seldom used. Few people fully respect all his or her decisions, making decisions without really considering whether those decisions are really needed, whether they are correct, or even whether they are possible to complete. Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions. You will be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on.
Although many methods could be written about how to respect your decisions and carry them out, the simplest way to start is by deciding to decide and deciding to respect the decisions yon make! Yes, it’s as simple as that.
Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering. Do you feel easy and relaxed about what you are thinking to do If you decide to do something that doesn’t agree with your inner feelings, you will certainly find it difficult to complete the task that you’ve decided to do. In fact you may not even start it! By making sure that the decision agrees with your values first, you should have no difficulties carrying it out.
Respecting your decisions is respecting yourself. If you seldom do what you say, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself. Very quickly these make you tired, slow and lazy. At this point nearly everything seems like hand work.
To respect your decisions is a great quality to have. By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions. You will be known as someone who does what they say they will do. You will be highly respected. You will have a powerful and clear mind. You’ll have one of the greatest attributes (needed for success.

“There is no magic in treating people’s troubles. I just listen, observe (观察) and learn,” said Fu Yingchun, 34, a psychological counselor (心理咨询师) of nine years.
Fu, based in Shanghai, accepts appointments (预约) online. A session (场) of counseling, where visitors share their stories, usually lasts an hour.
“Many troubles visitors face may come from dealing with relationships and sudden events,” Fu said, adding that the most common symptoms (症状) are anxiety, feeling scared and depression (抑郁).
The purpose of the sessions is to observe the guests, discovering their hidden emotions (情绪), needs and wishes that they aren’t ready to share. For example, when a visitor is unhappy about the room temperature, it may be that the person is hiding some other problems, said Fu. So, counselors have to not only notice the tiny details of the visitors’ behaviors but also, “translate” them based on their professional knowledge. “It’s easier than it seems because I use empathy (同理心), so their behavior is quite understandable,” Fu said. Hearing people’s day-to-day troubles, counselors may have their down days, too. “This is why every counselor must report to their own senior counselor. The sessions are like releases (宣泄) for bad emotions,” Fu said.
However, , Fu doesn’t regard her job as being a “garbage (垃圾)” bin for people’s complains (抱怨). “Most of the time, I think my work has a strong social value because, in a way, counselors also save lives,” Fu said. Seeing her “patients” walking out of their gloomy (阴郁的) mental states, Fu gets a sense of self-worth. “Also, I see visitors’ life problems as life lessons,” she added.
12. What do the visitors do in a session
A. Make an appointment online. B. Deal with their relationships with others.
C. Share their stories. D. Think about their symptoms.
13. How does Fu Yingchun do her job
A. Teach her visitors some professional knowledge.

A. Take time off work.
B. Stay away from other people.
C. Report to their own senior counselor.

【答案】24. were created
25. useful26. the
27. on
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了24节气之一的“小满”。
【24题】
句意：几千年前，它们被创造为了帮助耕作，但节气文化今天仍然对人们的生活很有用处。根据前文“The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气).”可知，此处they，指的是24 solar terms，结合所给词和语境可知，此处一般过去时的被动语态，结构为：were+动词的过去分词，create的过去分词是created。故填were created。
【25题】
句意：几千年前，它们被创造为了帮助耕作，但节气文化今天仍然对人们的生活很有用处。根据横线前“but the solar term culture is still very…”可知，句子缺表语，结合所给词，此处应该填入useful，形容词，作表语，意为“有用的”符合题意。故填useful。
【26题】
句意：小满是一年中的第八个节气。根据横线后“eighth solar term of a year”可知，此处考查：the+序数词+名词单数，表示“第几个……”。故填the。
【27题】

It will be nicer if they are the children who can let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much.
【答案】28. more comfortable
29. have prepared
30. as31. themselves
32. to learn
33. when
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要内容是：父母处处为孩子做好一切，会导致孩子难以学习社会技能，会更加依赖父母，孩子应该让父母知道多少爱是他们需要的，多少爱是过度的。
【28题】
句意：它让我们的生活更加舒适，我们有更少的事情需要去担心。根据“we have less to worry about”可知，在父母的关爱下，需要担忧的东西更少，生活更舒适。故用比较级的形式，即more comfortable。故填more comfortable。
【29题】
句意：自从孩子出生的时候，一些父母就为孩子几乎准备了一切。prepare准备，动词，此处作谓语；根据后面的“since they were born”可知，时态用现在完成时，所以谓语填have prepared。故填have prepared。
【30题】
句意：他们把大一点的孩子（有时甚至是成年人）看作婴儿！consider sb. as“把某人看作……”，此处as是介词“当作”。故填as。
【31题】
句意：他们害怕让他们独自去任何地方或者做任何事情。them他们，人称代词的宾格形式；by oneself独自；根据语境，父母害怕孩子独自去任何地方和做任何事情，因为逻辑主语是复数，所以反身代词是themselves。故填themselves。
【32题】
句意：结果，他们的孩子不能学习社交技巧，更加依赖父母。fail to do sth失败做某事，不能做某事，所以此处填动词不定式。故填to learn。
【33题】
句意：当他们不能依靠父母的时候，尽管他们可能会陷入困境，他们也可以学到很多。因为后面作时间状语，所以连词用when。故填when。
