The Luban Pillow is a traditional Chinese wooden object that has been cherished for over 2,000 years. It is not only a functional item used for sleeping and sitting but also a symbol of Chinese technology and culture. People still love it today because of its practicality and cultural significance.
Qiao Yibing, a 54-year-old from Jinan, Shandong, is dedicated to carrying on this tradition. He is skilled at crafting Luban Pillows, which are made of a single piece of wood without nails or rivets(钉子和铆钉). Creating one Luban Pillow is a detailed process that takes Qiao about three days to complete.
Qiao makes pillows of different sizes, with some being big and others small. The smallest Luban Pillows, measuring just 5 cm by 1.5 cm, can serve various purposes such as handles(把手), armrests for writing or drawing, wrist rests, or even phone stand. These many uses show how well Luban Pillow fits into today's life.
Qiao Yibing sees the Luban Pillow as more than just a craft; it is a symbol of Chinese technology and culture. He believes that by continuing this tradition, he is preserving an important part of China's heritage. The Luban Pillow's complex design and historical value make it a cherished item both in China and abroad.

答案：4.C 【点拨】根据"The smallest Luban Pillows, measuring just 5 cm by 1.5 cm, can serve various purposes such as handles(把手), armrests for writing or drawing,wrist rests, or even phone stand."可知,最小的鲁班枕有各种不同的用途,比如把手、书写或绘画的扶手、手腕靠垫,甚至手机支架。所以"various"意思是"不同的",与"different"同义。故选 C。
5.C 【点拨】根据"... are made of a single piece of wood without nails or rivets(钉子和铆钉)."可知,选项 C 与原文矛盾。故选 C。
6.D 【点拨】全文围绕鲁班枕的历史、工艺、用途及文化价值展开,强调其作为传统技艺的重要性。选项 D"鲁班枕及它的重要性"符合题意。故选 D。
5.C 【点拨】根据"... are made of a single piece of wood without nails or rivets(钉子和铆钉)."可知,选项 C 与原文矛盾。故选 C。

C(2025·江苏盐城景山中学期中)
There is a little sparrow. He always looks for something to eat and one day he gets a big bean. But before he can eat it, he has to wash his hands. He hides(藏) the bean on a bridge and flies down to the river below to clean up.
"I just can't wait for my wonderful breakfast," the sparrow says to himself. Then he makes his way back up to the bridge. "I won't have to work for a week!" But when he gets back to his hiding place, he can't find the bean!
As the sparrow flies around looking for his lost treasure, he sees a farmer coming over the bridge. "Excuse me, can you help me find my bean?" the sparrow asks. "Please, do I look like I have time to find a tiny bean? Find it yourself," says the farmer as he walks away.
The sparrow sees a soldier(士兵) coming over the bridge. He asks the soldier the same question. "Please, little bird, I have no time for you," he answers and walks on. Then a minister(大臣) comes walking by, but before the sparrow can even ask, he laughs and walks away. The little bird almost gives up hope, when the king comes up the bridge, riding on an elephant. The sparrow repeats(重复) his question, but the king doesn't take a look at him. The sparrow sits on the bridge, hungry and sad.
An ant comes by. After he hears the sparrow's story, he goes up to the elephant. "Tell the king to find that poor bird's food, or I will go inside your ear and bite(咬) you!" The elephant stops, turns to the king and says, "Help that sparrow, or I will throw you off." The king is very afraid. He calls the minister over and the minister orders the soldier. Then the soldier goes over to the farmer, "Find that bird's bean, or I'll kick you off this bridge!" The farmer searches for a whole day and he finds the bean. The sparrow is thankful, and he eats well for the next week.

这是一篇寓言类阅读理解，解题时可以分题型逐个突破：1. 第7题是细节查找题，直接提取题干关键词“hide his bean”，回到原文第一段定位对应语句，就能直接得到藏豆子的位置；2. 第8题是事件排序题，先把四个待排序的事件全部在原文中标记出对应的位置，按照故事的叙事先后逻辑梳理顺序，先发生的是麻雀藏豆子，之后麻雀返回找不到豆子先遇到农民求助，接着遇到大臣被无视走开，最后蚂蚁出面请求大象帮忙，即可选出正确顺序；3. 第9题同样是细节题，定位关键词“farmer find the bean”到文章末尾，找到农民找豆子的时长描述，推导对应的时间节点；4. 第10题是主旨寓意题，通读全文梳理故事脉络：麻雀求助多个身份的人都被拒绝，最后靠蚂蚁的推动才找回豆子，故事意在传递主动帮助有困难的人的正向价值观，匹配对应选项即可。
【解析】
7. 根据原文第一段中“He hides(藏) the bean on a bridge and flies down to the river below to clean up.”的明确描述，可知麻雀把豆子藏在了桥上，对应选项A。

9. 根据原文最后一段“The farmer searches for a whole day and he finds the bean.”可知农民找了整整一天才找到豆子，也就是在一天结束的时候找到了豆子，对应选项D。
10. 通读全文可知，故事里麻雀向多个路人求助都被无视，最后才在蚂蚁的推动下找回豆子，意在告诉读者应当主动帮助身处困境、有需要的人。其余选项A“早餐是我们的宝藏”不符合故事核心，C“未雨绸缪”、D“今日事今日毕”都和故事内容无关，故选B。
