There were catwalk shows and traditional music concerts which were held by people wearing traditional Chinese clothing. Hanfu fans from all over China gathered there to take photos and put them online for a Hanfu photo competition, which lasted until May 18.

People in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan use traditional characters. And on the Chinese mainland we write with simplified ones. However, at this year’s Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), well-known film director Feng Xiaogang suggested that schools should teach students 50-200 of the most meaningful traditional Chinese characters. “It is not to get rid of the simplified characters, but to let the children know about the most important part of traditional Chinese culture,” said Feng. Take two simplified characters as an example, “亲” (meaning dear, or relatives) and “爱” (meaning love). The traditional version for “亲” is “親”, which has an extra “見” meaning “see”; while “爱” is written as “愛” in the traditional way, which has an extra “心” meaning “heart”. “Love needs ‘heart’ and relatives need to ‘see’ each other,” Feng said. “The simplified versions of these characters have lost their human touch.” Learning traditional Chinese will also help people better understand Chinese historical works written in traditional characters, said Lu Bo, editor-in-chief of Macao Daily News. However, many people think it not necessary to do so. They say simplified characters are easier to learn and write, and people have got used to them. “Traditional Chinese characters are too hard for beginners, and students don’t have the language environment outside the classroom,” Zhang Jian, a Guangzhou primary school teacher, told the Yangcheng Evening News. Moreover, the simplified characters come from the traditional ones, which means they can also promote and keep traditional culture, said Chinese character expert Dang Huaixing. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 13．How does the writer explain the importance of learning some traditional Chinese characters? A．By explaining reasons. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. 14．Who usually write Chinese character“愛”in their passage? A．People from Beijing. B．People from Shandong.

It’s not a scene from a movie, but a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产)—bamboo drifting (独竹漂). Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She started to lean it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to become stronger through this sport.

It’s famous for its Shanxi Laochencu, or mature vinegar (陈醋). The skills of making Shanxi mature vinegar have been added to the list of national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). “Donghu” has been used as a vinegar brand (品牌) since 1956. To spread the culture of Shanxi mature vinegar widely, Donghu Vinegar Park was set up. The park used to be a famous vinegar workshop called Meiheju, whose history could date back to 1368. It was developed into Donghu Vinegar Park finally. Donghu Vinegar Park can be seen as a museum. There visitors can learn about different kinds of vinegar, its history and some necessary tools and materials to produce vinegar. Visitors are also able to visit different workshops to learn how to make Shanxi mature vinegar. What’s more, they are offered some creative vinegar products. They can buy ice-cream with vinegar and have a taste of drinks produced by vinegar. They can even buy mooncakes that have vinegar in them. “Vinegar helps remove some of the greasy (油腻的) taste. Some people wonder if such mooncakes are too sour to eat. The answer is no. There is nearly no sour taste,” one of the workers in the park said. In the first half of 2023, the vinegar park received over 100, 000 visitors. It provides visitors with a window to Shanxi mature vinegar. Through it, they can understand the culture behind it easily.

Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true. People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger. They then extend (伸出) the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand. Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. For example, the aboriginal people (原住居民) in Australia don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. Similarly, people of the Piraha tribe (皮拉哈部落) in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”, “more trees” or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “But here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.” 29．Why does the writer list the four questions at the beginning of the passage? A．To make a survey. B．To interest the readers. C．To give examples. D．To interview the readers. 30．According to Paragraph 2, what is the difference between the US and China in finger counting? A．People from China count much faster than people from the US. B．People from the US usually begin counting with their thumb. C．People from China use finger positions to do counting. D．People from the US use only one hand to count from one to ten. 31．People of the Piraha tribe are from ________. A．the US B．Brazil C．Australia D．Asia 32．Which of the following is TRUE about aboriginal Australians? A．There are ideas of numbers in their life. B．There is no “some trees” in their language. C．They have only a few words for numbers. D．They have hand movements for numbers. 33．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Chinese people are good at counting. B．Counting quickly on fingers is not easy. C．Counting is difficult to learn in some tribes. D．People don’t need numbers in some cultures. 9 （2024·山东菏泽·三模）I used to study at a Canadian high school. Personally, comparing the lifestyles in the two countries, I like the lifestyle in China better. I feel like the pace of life in Canada is a lot slower than in China. In China, most people are busy and have a lot of things to do every day. There are more fun places like restaurants and markets to enjoy. But in Canada, there is almost nothing I can do on the weekends. In my eyes, Canadians are always very relaxed. My classmates work hard at school, but they also have hobbies. For example, my best friend plays soccer and another friend takes choir (合唱) lessons. They are always so positive (积极的) about what they do, even if they are not very good at it. My best friend is a good example. She didn’t play soccer very well at first. But she kept practicing it happily every day. For adults, their work rhythm (节奏) is slow from what I have seen. When I applied (申请) for my student visa (签证), it came back three months later! Once I bought a SIM card for my phone online. In China, the express (快递服务) is very fast, and I can get an item within three days. But in Canada, I waited over two weeks! It really made me annoyed. I have to say that life is quite different in these two countries. 34．What does the writer think about most Chinese people? A．They live busy lives. B．They do things slowly. C．They prefer to work on the weekends. 35．The writer mentioned his two friends in Paragraph 3 to show that . A．they are relaxed and active B．they both have hobbies C．they are his role models 36．The underlined word “annoyed” is closest in meaning to . A．angry B．happy C．surprise 37．What’s the theme of the passage? A．High school memories B．Life in two countries C．A terrible journey 10 （2024·甘肃兰州·二模）Today we talk about the three Chinese gods who often appear in the Spring Festival. They are Zaoshen, Caishen and Menshen. Zaoshen (the Kitehen God) is considered the most important family god in China, who takes charge of (掌管) people’s diet and watches the good or bad of each family.

Many Chinese people also believe in Menshen (the Door Goa). The representatives (代表) of Menshen are Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong. The Chinese believe that they can protect their homes and prevent bad things from entering their homes. Also, they are said to bring good luck to the whole family.

I certainly do, and I feel that much of the world has got away from that. I see such a difference in New York City, for example, from the time I first moved here more than 20 years ago: people now rush into lifts without giving those inside a chance to get off first, never say “thank you” when others hold a door open for them, or “please” when they want a classmate to hand them something. We get lazy, and we think that something like a simple “thank you” doesn’t really matter. But in fact it can matter much. It is that no matter how nicely we dress, how beautifully we decorate our homes, or how lovely our dinner parties are, we can’t be really stylish (漂亮的) without good manners. In fact, I think of good manners as a kind of hidden beauty. Haven’t you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting more beautiful? They become Cary Grant or Lauren Bacall right before our eyes. It’s funny how that happens, but it does. Take the long-lost art of saying “thank you” for example. Like wearing a little lipstick (口红) or making sure your hair is neat (整洁的), getting into the habit of saying “thank you” can make you feel better about yourself, and then you will look better to everyone around you. 43．The writer found that people in New York City were ________ 20 years ago. A．much more beautiful B．not polite to each other C．too lazy to do any work D．very polite to each other 44．The writer thinks that ________. A．good manners are still with us B．a simple “think you” doesn’t matter much C．good manners are a kind of beauty D．without good manners one will be lazy 45．According to the second paragraph, we can guess that Cary Grant must be ________. A．really stylish B．very lazy C．quite funny D．rather foolish 46．From the passage, we know that saying “thank you” is a kind of ________. A．art B．fun C．secret D．generosity (慷慨) 47．The main idea of the last paragraph is ________. A．we should get on well with everyone around B．one should make it a habit to be polite to others C．to make ourselves look beautiful or nice is very important D．wearing lipstick or making hair neat can make you feel better 12 （2023·河北石家庄·二模）The famous poet Lu You lived in the Southern Song Dynasty.

With green willows (柳树) and red flowers nearby, it looked like a worry-free world. Lu You walked towards the village. The villagers warmly welcomed him. They talked with him and prepared tasty meals to receive him. The friendly people and their simple lifestyle touched Lu You very much. He put this visit in the poem A Visit to a Village to the West of the Hill to express what he saw and felt. The poem is best-known for these two lines: “Where hills bend, streams wind and the road seems to end; past dark willows and flowers in bloom lies another village.” The words have long been used to describe the situation where a chance appears during a crisis (危急关头). 48．What does the underlined word “resisting” probably mean in paragraph 2?

They say, “A pinkie promise must be 51 for 100 years.” Then they may press their thumbs (拇指) together to complete the promise. Sometimes, 52 will hook pinkies and promise to be together forever. There are many guesses on the origin (起源) of the pinkie promise. Some say it comes from a nursery rhyme (童谣). 53 say it was introduced from the West—born out of a love story where a man and a woman hooked fingers. One theory (理论) is that it may have 54 to do with the role of fingers in Chinese culture. The Chinese character for “finger” also means “aim” (referring to people’s thoughts). So hooking fingers can be seen as the exchanging of 55 . Therefore, the fingers play a(n) 56 role in making an oath (盟约): They can not only be used to complete a promise, but also be cut for making a blood oath. When someone swears to heaven (对天发誓), he uses his 57 to point to the sky. 58 , hooking fingers means making a serious promise. In some movies, a person who breaks a promise may have his little finger cut 59 ! Of course, this kind of thing is not very likely to happen in real life. But we can still see 60 important “pinkie promises” can be.

There were catwalk shows and traditional music concerts which were held by people wearing traditional Chinese clothing. Hanfu fans from all over China gathered there to take photos and put them online for a Hanfu photo competition, which lasted until May 18. China Hanfu Day is on the third day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar, which is said to be the birthday of the Yellow Emperor. In ancient China, this day was also known as Shangsi Festival (上巳节). Its purpose is to encourage young Chinese to take pride in traditional clothing, as well as Chinese culture. Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people who lived in China before the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of about 3,000 years and it has changed greatly so far. However, some of its main features (特点) remain. For example, there are two parts that overlap (交叠) on the front, which is called “jiao ling”. Another main feature of Hanfu is that it usually uses ribbons (系带) instead of buttons. China is becoming a leading country in the world, and the Chinese people feels more confident about its traditional culture than ever before. Wearing traditional clothing might be an interesting way of showing how they feel about this. 5．How long did the Hanfu photo competition last? A．About a month. B．About 18 days.

It has become a symbol of Chinese culture and is worn by women around the world. The cheongsam hugs the curves (曲线) of the body and is mostly made of silk or cotton. It’s typical with a high collar (领), short sleeves (袖) and a short cut on the side of the skirt to make movement easy. The cheongsam was first worn by wealthy women in Shanghai as a way to show their social positions and wealth. But it quickly became popular among all classes of women as daily clothes. During the 1920s and 1930s, the cheongsam experienced changes and became fitter and better designed with fashionable elements (元素). Nowadays, designers are creating new styles to follow modern fashion. Today, the cheongsam is often worn for formal (正式的) situations such as ceremonies, celebrations and cultural events in China. One of the most popular looks of the cheongsam is Anna Wong, a Chinese famous movie star. She often wears cheongsams on and off screen. Her look helps to make the dress win popularity in Hollywood and around the world. The cheongsam is not just a symbol of fashion, but also of Chinese culture and history.

People in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan use traditional characters. And on the Chinese mainland we write with simplified ones. However, at this year’s Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), well-known film director Feng Xiaogang suggested that schools should teach students 50-200 of the most meaningful traditional Chinese characters. “It is not to get rid of the simplified characters, but to let the children know about the most important part of traditional Chinese culture,” said Feng. Take two simplified characters as an example, “亲” (meaning dear, or relatives) and “爱” (meaning love). The traditional version for “亲” is “親”, which has an extra “見” meaning “see”; while “爱” is written as “愛” in the traditional way, which has an extra “心” meaning “heart”. “Love needs ‘heart’ and relatives need to ‘see’ each other,” Feng said. “The simplified versions of these characters have lost their human touch.” Learning traditional Chinese will also help people better understand Chinese historical works written in traditional characters, said Lu Bo, editor-in-chief of Macao Daily News. However, many people think it not necessary to do so. They say simplified characters are easier to learn and write, and people have got used to them. “Traditional Chinese characters are too hard for beginners, and students don’t have the language environment outside the classroom,” Zhang Jian, a Guangzhou primary school teacher, told the Yangcheng Evening News. Moreover, the simplified characters come from the traditional ones, which means they can also promote and keep traditional culture, said Chinese character expert Dang Huaixing. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 13．How does the writer explain the importance of learning some traditional Chinese characters? A．By explaining reasons. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. 14．Who usually write Chinese character“愛”in their passage? A．People from Beijing. B．People from Shandong.

It’s famous for its Shanxi Laochencu, or mature vinegar (陈醋). The skills of making Shanxi mature vinegar have been added to the list of national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). “Donghu” has been used as a vinegar brand (品牌) since 1956. To spread the culture of Shanxi mature vinegar widely, Donghu Vinegar Park was set up. The park used to be a famous vinegar workshop called Meiheju, whose history could date back to 1368. It was developed into Donghu Vinegar Park finally. Donghu Vinegar Park can be seen as a museum. There visitors can learn about different kinds of vinegar, its history and some necessary tools and materials to produce vinegar. Visitors are also able to visit different workshops to learn how to make Shanxi mature vinegar. What’s more, they are offered some creative vinegar products. They can buy ice-cream with vinegar and have a taste of drinks produced by vinegar. They can even buy mooncakes that have vinegar in them. “Vinegar helps remove some of the greasy (油腻的) taste. Some people wonder if such mooncakes are too sour to eat. The answer is no. There is nearly no sour taste,” one of the workers in the park said. In the first half of 2023, the vinegar park received over 100, 000 visitors. It provides visitors with a window to Shanxi mature vinegar. Through it, they can understand the culture behind it easily. So, do you want to have a taste of it now? 26．Why was Donghu Vinegar Park set up? A．To spread the culture of Shanxi mature vinegar. B．To provide a comfortable place for people to walk.

Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true. People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger. They then extend (伸出) the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand. Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. For example, the aboriginal people (原住居民) in Australia don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. Similarly, people of the Piraha tribe (皮拉哈部落) in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”, “more trees” or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “But here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.” 29．Why does the writer list the four questions at the beginning of the passage? A．To make a survey. B．To interest the readers. C．To give examples. D．To interview the readers. 30．According to Paragraph 2, what is the difference between the US and China in finger counting? A．People from China count much faster than people from the US. B．People from the US usually begin counting with their thumb. C．People from China use finger positions to do counting. D．People from the US use only one hand to count from one to ten. 31．People of the Piraha tribe are from ________. A．the US B．Brazil C．Australia D．Asia 32．Which of the following is TRUE about aboriginal Australians? A．There are ideas of numbers in their life. B．There is no “some trees” in their language. C．They have only a few words for numbers. D．They have hand movements for numbers. 33．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Chinese people are good at counting. B．Counting quickly on fingers is not easy. C．Counting is difficult to learn in some tribes. D．People don’t need numbers in some cultures. 9 （2024·山东菏泽·三模）I used to study at a Canadian high school. Personally, comparing the lifestyles in the two countries, I like the lifestyle in China better. I feel like the pace of life in Canada is a lot slower than in China. In China, most people are busy and have a lot of things to do every day. There are more fun places like restaurants and markets to enjoy. But in Canada, there is almost nothing I can do on the weekends. In my eyes, Canadians are always very relaxed. My classmates work hard at school, but they also have hobbies. For example, my best friend plays soccer and another friend takes choir (合唱) lessons. They are always so positive (积极的) about what they do, even if they are not very good at it. My best friend is a good example. She didn’t play soccer very well at first. But she kept practicing it happily every day. For adults, their work rhythm (节奏) is slow from what I have seen. When I applied (申请) for my student visa (签证), it came back three months later! Once I bought a SIM card for my phone online. In China, the express (快递服务) is very fast, and I can get an item within three days. But in Canada, I waited over two weeks! It really made me annoyed. I have to say that life is quite different in these two countries. 34．What does the writer think about most Chinese people? A．They live busy lives. B．They do things slowly.

They are Zaoshen, Caishen and Menshen. Zaoshen (the Kitehen God) is considered the most important family god in China, who takes charge of (掌管) people’s diet and watches the good or bad of each family. It is believed that on the 23rd or 24th day of the twelfth lunar (阴历的) month, Zaoshen return s to heaven to report the activities of each family over the past year to the Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝).

In some areas of China, people believe Zhao’s birthday is the fifth day of the first lunar month. On that day, they will open their doors to welcome him. Many Chinese people also believe in Menshen (the Door Goa). The representatives (代表) of Menshen are Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong. The Chinese believe that they can protect their homes and prevent bad things from entering their homes. Also, they are said to bring good luck to the whole family.

I certainly do, and I feel that much of the world has got away from that. I see such a difference in New York City, for example, from the time I first moved here more than 20 years ago: people now rush into lifts without giving those inside a chance to get off first, never say “thank you” when others hold a door open for them, or “please” when they want a classmate to hand them something. We get lazy, and we think that something like a simple “thank you” doesn’t really matter. But in fact it can matter much. It is that no matter how nicely we dress, how beautifully we decorate our homes, or how lovely our dinner parties are, we can’t be really stylish (漂亮的) without good manners. In fact, I think of good manners as a kind of hidden beauty. Haven’t you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting more beautiful? They become Cary Grant or Lauren Bacall right before our eyes. It’s funny how that happens, but it does. Take the long-lost art of saying “thank you” for example. Like wearing a little lipstick (口红) or making sure your hair is neat (整洁的), getting into the habit of saying “thank you” can make you feel better about yourself, and then you will look better to everyone around you. 43．The writer found that people in New York City were ________ 20 years ago. A．much more beautiful B．not polite to each other C．too lazy to do any work D．very polite to each other 44．The writer thinks that ________. A．good manners are still with us B．a simple “think you” doesn’t matter much C．good manners are a kind of beauty D．without good manners one will be lazy 45．According to the second paragraph, we can guess that Cary Grant must be ________. A．really stylish B．very lazy C．quite funny D．rather foolish 46．From the passage, we know that saying “thank you” is a kind of ________. A．art B．fun C．secret D．generosity (慷慨) 47．The main idea of the last paragraph is ________. A．we should get on well with everyone around B．one should make it a habit to be polite to others C．to make ourselves look beautiful or nice is very important D．wearing lipstick or making hair neat can make you feel better 12 （2023·河北石家庄·二模）The famous poet Lu You lived in the Southern Song Dynasty. During his lifetime, the Jin Dynasty from the north was invading(入侵) his country. Lu You loved his homeland deeply. As an official, he strongly supported resisting the Jin Dynasty. However, some other officials wanted to give in. They tried hard to push Lu You away. They kept telling the emperor that Lu You sat around every day and did nothing. As a result, Lu You lost his job and went back home unhappily. Lu You tried to forget his terrible feelings by relaxing himself in nature. One day, the wind was gentle, the sun was shining, and the temperature was pleasant. The poet wanted to have fun on such a good day. After walking around the foot of a hill, he found himself in front of a large farmland. There was a small village with several houses. With green willows (柳树) and red flowers nearby, it looked like a worry-free world. Lu You walked towards the village. The villagers warmly welcomed him.
