课时梯级训练(四)　Section Ⅴ　Writing Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2023·芜湖高一期末)When people think of Beijing，the hutong style always comes to mind.It is no exaggeration(夸张) to say within hutong lives the city's history. The word “hutong” referred to a place where people live，which was borrowed from the Mongolian word to mean “water well” about 700 years ago.Hutong we see today are made up of small paths formed by walls of siheyuan.They were built during the Yuan，Ming and Qing dynasties. When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949，there were more than 3，000 hutong.Most of the city's population lived in this traditional housing.But with the modernization of the city in the 1980s and early 1990s，many hutong were pulled down to build roads，skyscrapers and modern houses. The government has recognized the importance of hutong to Chinese cultural heritage.In 2002，Beijing listed 40 protected historical zones and increased its efforts to rebuild some key relics and older streets in the city.Nearly 500 hutong have survived. Hutong that still exist are like oases(绿洲) of calm in the noisy city.Walking through them，it's common to see groups of elderly people sitting together playing cards，mahjong(麻将) or Chinese chess.In the early mornings and evenings，they gather to practice traditional forms of exercise such as Tai Chi as well as dancing and singing folk songs or Peking Opera.Hutong have become a museum of Beijing's folk customs and history. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了文化遗产“胡同”的历史及现状。 1．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?
