二、核心素养 中华优秀传统文化 完形填空。(每小题1.5分,共15分)
Unlike traditional carpenters (木匠), An Xu focuses on making wooden works about traditional Chinese culture and many little things that can be used in daily life. He has $\underline{\mathbf{1}}$ millions of online fans in recent years.
An, who is from Longshan Village, Fenggang County, Guizhou Province, $\underline{\mathbf{2}}$ out of high school in 2011. He then left home and tried several jobs in some big cities, but $\underline{\mathbf{3}}$ of them was fit for him. In 2019, taking the advice of his parents, he decided to be a carpenter and soon he fell in love with it.
Over the past years, An has kept on learning new skills from books and websites. When faced with difficulties, he would $\underline{\mathbf{4}}$ teaching videos on the internet and practise over and over again. Then he also posted the process of making wooden works online.
In 2020, An made a wooden work first built by Lu Ban, a Chinese woodworker who lived around 2,500 years ago. He then began to design more works about $\underline{\mathbf{5}}$ Chinese culture. An has designed hundreds of works. Now he is trying to make another wooden work—a model of Wenfeng Tower with hundreds of years of history in his hometown. Influenced by him, more people have started to have an $\underline{\mathbf{6}}$ in ancient crafts (工艺) and culture.
"My video that has the most views online shows the bracelet (手镯) I made for my mother. My mum $\underline{\mathbf{7}}$ bought herself bracelets, so I wanted to make one for her," says An, adding that he hopes the viewers will better love their $\underline{\mathbf{8}}$ after watching the video.
To $\underline{\mathbf{9}}$ his work, his parents even quit their work and became frequent (频繁的) guests in his videos. With the help of his family, he has made much money through his videos and sales of the wooden handicrafts so far.
"While doing my favourite woodwork, I bring money $\underline{\mathbf{10}}$ my family. In my eyes, it is the best way of life," An said.

三、阅读理解。（共20分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。（每小题1.5分，共15分）
A 原典品读
[2026 无锡期末]What I always loved most about middle school was that it was separate(分开的) and different from home. I could go there and be Olivia Pullman—not Via, which is my name at home. Via was what they called me in primary school, too. Back then, everyone knew all about us, my parents and August.
But in middle school, a lot of people didn't know about August. My old friends did, of course, but my new friends didn't. Or if they knew, it surely wasn't the first thing they knew about me. "Olivia? Yeah, she's nice. Did you hear she has a brother who's deformed(畸形的)?" I always $\boldsymbol\blacktriangle$ the word, but I knew it was how people described(描述) August. And I knew those kinds of conversations probably happened all the time, every time I left the room at a party, or ran into groups of friends at the pizza place. And that's okay. I'm always going to be the sister of a kid with a birth defect(缺陷): that's not the problem. I just don't want others to define me that way.
The best thing about high school is that hardly anybody knows me at all, except Miranda and Ella. And they know not to go around talking about it. Miranda, Ella and I have known each other since the first grade. What's so nice is that we never have to explain(解释) things to one another. When I decided I wanted them to call me Olivia instead of Via, they got it without my having to explain.
Throughout middle school, Miranda, Ella and I were pretty much our own little group. I don't know whether the three of us found each other because we were so alike in so many ways, or whether we've become so alike in so many ways because we found each other. We were so happy when we all got into Faulkner High School, especially when almost no one else from our middle school did.
This is why I haven't understood what's been going on with us lately, now that we're in high school. It's nothing like how I thought it would be.
