2024-2025学年九年级英语阅读热点话题(通用版) 2024-2025学年九年级英语阅读热点话题(通用版) 12.非物质文化遗产 一、阅读理解 1 How do you spend your free time? Do you want to live a different after-school life? How about mixing into elements of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产元素)? Here are four examples. Li Chenxi is a student at the No 2 Primary School in Yinchuan. Her school brings traditional Chinese culture into the after-school care services. Li is interested in tie-dye (扎染). She can make dolls and dresses after learning for more than a year. “In the past, I had too much homework to do. But now I can do what I want to do in my free time. I enjoy it,” she said. When Antoine, an international student from Rwanda (卢旺达), first watched the dragon dance, he was surprised and could not wait to join in it. However, the training was not easy. He kept practising day by day to perfectly do the jumps and turns and lift the dragon body high in the air. In 2015, Antoine built the first international student dragon dance team in his school. Now the team has about 100 students from different countries. It is on Saturday afternoon. A group of children are following Zhu Wei in Zimbabwe (津巴布韦). Zhu, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, teaches them tai chi. These children like tai chi. In their opinion, tai chi helps them keep healthy and focus on studies. It’s a mind-body exercise. Chloe from Canada is a paper-cutting lover. Every Sunday, she learns paper-cutting from Mrs Smith. The girl can easily cut butterflies, horses, flowers and so on.    Last weekend, Chloe made a paper-cutting work of Rongbao (蓉宝). She felt excited to see it shown on the school wall. 1．What can we learn about Antoine? ________ A．He comes from America. B．He practised hard on dragon dance. C．He built a dragon dance team five years ago. D．His dragon dance team is the second in his school. 2．Why do children in Zimbabwe choose to practice tai chi? ________ ①To make more friends. ②To learn about Chinese culture. ③To be healthy and strong. ④To help them pay attention to studies.

D．Traditional Chinese culture lights up the after-school life. 2 In the picture, a girl is standing on a bamboo pole (竹竿) on the river and dancing beautifully. 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 is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She started to learn it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to get into better shape through this sport. Yang threw herself into practicing bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and summer heat. “It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing,” recalled Yang, adding that it took her three years to learn the basic skills of bamboo drifting. In order to acquire more bamboo drifting skills, Yang had to practice countless difficult movements on a bamboo pole that was 9 m in length and 15 cm in diameter (直径), and stand all the physical pain that came with it. Through years of hard training, Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her “best friend”. At one point, inspired by her grandmother, Yang began to combine dance with bamboo drifting. “My grandmother came up with an idea. She said that I had been practicing bamboo drifting since I was a child, so why not try to combine dance with the skill? It might be something different,” the young woman explained. Yang’s hard work gradually paid off when she was able to perfectly perform dancing with the traditional bamboo drifting skill. “I hope that more people can know about bamboo drifting and enjoy this form of art,” said Yang. 4．Why did Yang’s grandmother let her learn bamboo drifting? A．Because it could help Yang build her up. B．Because Yang was very talented for it. C．Because it was the traditional skill of Yang’s family. D．Because Yang wanted to know about the intangible cultural heritage. 5．What does the underlined word “acquire” mean? A．Sell. B．Collect. C．Master. D．Refuse. 6．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Yang is a little tired of bamboo drifting now. B．Yang hopes bamboo drifting can be known by more people. C．Yang used to stop practicing because it was too cold in winter. D．Yang spent 3 months learning the basic skills of bamboo drifting. 7．Which word can be used to describe Yang’s grandmother? A．Hard-working. B．Helpful. C．Kind-hearted. D．Creative. 8．Which part of a newspaper might this passage come from? A．Travel. B．Education. C．Culture. D．Science. 3 Chuanjiang Chants (川江号子) is a form of folk singing performed by Chuanjiang boatmen in order to unify their movements and rhythms (节奏). Chongqing and eastern Sichuan are the main birthplaces of the Chuanjiang Chants. In the age of wooden boat shipping for thousands of years, the power (动力) of wooden boats on the river came from the body of the boatmen. Whenever they headed up against the river or when the boat crossed a shoal, the boatmen had to pull together. Moreover, the long journey was boring and boatmen needed something to relax, and the Chuanjiang Chants appeared. Chuanjiang Chants is both technical and artistic. Boatmen control the direction of the boat just like a driver is responsible for that of a car. And chants are like the accelerator (油门) of a car, controlling the speed of the boat. Therefore, the chants can adjust (调整) the force of the boatmen through their rhythm, so that the ship can move forward smoothly (平稳地). At the same time, the chants are always sung in a bright voice, a good tone, and a beautiful sound. Therefore, it is also an art. However, with the development and popularity of modern ships, Chuanjiang Chants is likely to be forgotten by people, facing an endangered situation. Our country paid great attention to the protection of it and it was included in the first national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Hope that more and more people can get the chance to know the wonderful culture. 9．According to Para. 2, before Chuanjiang Chants appeared, how was the long journey for the boatmen? A．Relaxing and happy. B．Boring and tiring. C．Exciting and proud. D．Tiring but worthy. 10．The underlined word “that” in the third paragraph refers to ________. A．the boat B．a boatman C．the direction D．the accelerator 11．Why does the writer say “Chuanjiang Chants is also an art”? A．Because the chants can control the speed of the boats. B．Because the chants can adjust the force of the boatmen. C．Because the chants can control the direction of the boat. D．Because the chants can be sung in a bright and beautiful voice. 12．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To let more people know and remember the culture of Chuanjiang Chants. B．To introduce how Chuanjiang Chants appeared. C．To encourage readers to experience Chuanjiang Chants themselves. D．To bring readers back to the old times. 4 ①What is cultural heritage (遗产)? It might be historic sites like the Great Wall, or it might be antiques in the Palace Museum. However, there is another kind of heritage— the intangible (无形的) kind. ②Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) refers to things like music, literature, sports and other social practices. We can’t see them or touch them, but they have been passed on from generation to generation for many years. ③United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has a list of ICH from around the world. According to UNESCO official Yang Zhi, ICH provides “an identity (身份认同) to differ (区别) them from others.” ④The sport of hurling (爱尔兰式曲棍球) is an example. Hurling players use a wooden stick with a flat end to hit a small ball. It is a national sport in Ireland. The sport brings Irish people together. In December, UNESCO named Irish hurling as a form of ICH. ⑤Besides, ICH can also have some practical uses. For example, some traditional medical practices not only helped people stay healthy in ancient times, but also have inspired modern science. The “medical bathing” practiced by people in Tibet is a good example of this. Tibetans have been bathing in hot herbal (草药的) water to treat illnesses since more than 600 years ago. Today, many medical colleges still teach this practice to their students. ⑥Each country has its own forms of ICH that show “mankind’s creativity and cultural diversity”, according to Yang. “And for all of us, ICH is a bridge between the past and the future.” 13．The writer writes Para.2 to ________. A．introduce the advantages of ICH B．tell readers what ICH is C．make a list of different kinds of ICH D．show human’s creativity 14．If you are going to make a speech about ICH in China, which is the best choice? A．Basketball— a sport that is popular among Chinese teenagers B．International Labor Day— a day to show respect to workers C．Dragon-Boat Festival— a festival to honor a great poet called Qu Yuan D．Beijing Roast Duck— delicious food that is liked by many Chinese 15．According to the passage, the writer may think that ICH is ________. A．meaningless and useless B．meaningful and useful C．meaningless but useful D．meaningful but useless 16．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5 Oil paper umbrellas, with a history of over 1,000 years in China, used to be common. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), they were introduced to places as far as Japan and Vietnam. However, the hand-made umbrellas became less used in daily life. Instead, they turned into artifacts (历史文物). In 2007, these umbrellas were added to Zhejiang Province’s intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录). Master’s story In 2015, Liu Weixue left a well-paid job as a designer to learn the traditional art of making oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. “When it rains, someone uses the umbrella—that’s what I want to see. After mastering (掌握) the skills, Liu opened a studio and looked for more umbrella-making masters. Liu improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a thicker paper. He also used a lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. In 2017, Liu opened an online shop to sell umbrellas. It now has thousands of followers. Still, Liu doesn’t hurry. To keep the quality (质量), his studio makes only 1,000 umbrellas each year. Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to let more people know about it. Young voice I took Liu’s class to learn about oil paper umbrella-making last term. I learned about their history and the steps to make one. Then I gave it a try in a group! The most fun part was the painting. Still, I had to be very careful as the paper might break. I painted my favorite cartoon character. So did my group partners. We were proud of our work. Finally, we sold the umbrella and gave away the money. —Zhang Tingting 17．When were oil paper umbrellas added to Zhejiang Province’s intangible cultural heritage list? A．In 2015. B．In 2017. C．In 2007. D．In 1907. 18．Which of the following is the RIGHT order showing master Liu’s story? ①Liu started to use a thicker paper and a lighter bamboo. ②Liu learned to make oil paper umbrellas from his grandpa. ③Liu began to use the Internet to sell oil paper umbrellas. ④Liu opened a studio and looked for more umbrella-making masters.

A．Bringing Umbrellas to Life B．Turning Umbrellas into Artifacts C．Showing Love to Umbrellas D．Bringing Beauty into Umbrellas 6 By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea trick shown in a recent TV drama, has gone viral for its similarity with modern latte art (咖啡拉花艺术). Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner of chabaixi, was glad to see the TV drama brought the technique (技艺) to people’s attention. Chabaixi can create endless patterns. such as bamboo s and mountains or even Chinese characters. How can it be made? There are over a dozen steps, from grinding (磨碎) tea for fine powder, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth (泡沫), and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cupnstead of milk. When the water touches the surface, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha. The quality of diancha is extremely important to whether patterns can be successfully produced later. “Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. This technique is not only unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when free-time activities in some ways were like what we have now,” Zhang said. Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产名录) of Fujian Province in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifcng. He started researching chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the tech nique back in 2009 after decades of practice. Zhang considers all his hard work worthwhile. Now with Zhang’s better skills in tea making, he is also performing and teaching chabaixi in vocational schools across China. “About ten years ago, this special technique was close to disappearing completely. However, it is important to the tea culture, and it would be a shame to let it fade. It is my duty to pass it on to the next generations.” Zhang said. 21．What do the underlined words “gone viral” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Disappeared suddenly. B．Became popular quickly. C．Received good protection. D．Remained highly competitive. 22．Which description of chabaixi is correct? A．It is painted with milk or water. B．It mainly describes beautiful scenery. C．It takes 20 minutes to finish the making process. D．It can’t be successfully made without good quality diancha. 23．Which of the following best describes Zhang Zhifeng? A．Hardworking and responsible. B．Faithful and intelligent. C．Brave and communicative. D．Creative and friendly. 24．Why did the writer include the last paragraph? A．To explain the way to protect chabaixi. B．To tell the value of Zhang Zhifeng’s hard work. C．To show that it is a shame if we let chabaixi fade. D．To introduce Zhang Zhifeng’s plan of passing on chabaixi. 7 Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 25．Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A．Cao Cao. B．Li Bai. C．Tao Yuanming.

After forming a bun at the back of her head, she would decorate it with colourful flowers, the 34-year-old man recalled. ① All the women in the small fishing village of Xunpu in Quanzhou, Fujian province, decorated their hair this way. The colorful and unique (独一无二的) headdress is known as zanhuan or zanhuawei. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008. As an old saying in Xunpu goes, “put flowers in your hair in this life and you will also be pretty in the afterlife.” ② In 2016, he and his older sister opened a salon where tourists could get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zanhua,” said Huang. ③ After going through the full zanhua experience, Hu Titi, one of Huang’s customers, even brought zanhua culture to Paris in France last year. Under the Eiffel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair. ④ The increase in tourist visits has pleased Huang not only because it is good for his business but also because it has led to greater awareness of the history and culture behind zanhua headwear. “Earning a big name for their hard work, resilience (坚韧) and compassion (同情心), the women of Xunpu are well-known for harvesting the highest quality seafood,” said Huang. “When they put a zanhua on their heads, they express their wish to look for happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope,” he added. 30．Zanhua is ________ according to the passage.

The 32-year-old woman has been blowing sugar figures (人物) for more than ten years. Born in Qinggang county in Heilongjiang Province, Wang learned the basic skills of the art from her father, a folk craftsman, during her childhood. Wang could make some simple shapes at the age of 6. “I tried several different jobs in Harbin before.” She said. “But I really want to be a craftsman to create magic like my father.” She has opened three stalls near famous tourist attractions till 2024. Their sugar figures have been welcomed by both local people and tourists. In 2006, the art was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), and in 2011, Wang was shown the title of provincial-level inheritor of sugar figures (省级糖人继承人). “Sugar figures are not only a precious childhood memory but also bring me lots of happiness and joy in the creation process (过程),” she said. “I also wish to help more people learn about the art and the traditional culture.” 34．How did Wang Chunjing learn the skill of blowing sugar figures?

It has become such a popular part of Yunnan’s culture that in 2008, it was listed as an item of the intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Kunming City. There is a story behind the first creation of cross-bridge noodles. It is said that there was a learner during the Qing Dynasty. He studied every day on an island of Mengzi City in Yunnan. His favorite food was rice noodles, and his wife brought him the noodles every day. But she was disappointed because the noodles would get cold on the way to the island. One day, she discovered that boiling the rice noodles separately could make them taste better. The chicken soup could also stay warm during the trip. It was the oil layer (层) on top of the soup that kept the cold outside and the heat inside. Realizing this, the wife then came up with an idea. She brought the chicken soup, rice noodles, and other ingredients (原料) separately and then mixed them after she arrived on the island. That way, the dish stayed hot and the noodles were fresh when they were added just before eating. The word spread of the delicious dish and the wife’s smart way of keeping the food hot. The dish became known as “crossing-the-bridge noodles” or simply “cross-bridge noodles” in memory of the wife. 37．When were cross-bridge noodles listed as an item of intangible cultural heritage? A．2000 B．2008 C．2010 D．2015 38．Where did cross-bridge noodles originate? A．In Kunming City. B．In Dali City. C．In Mengzi City.

A．clever B．lazy C．patient D．kind 41．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Secret of Yunnan Noodles B．The Wife’s Clever Cooking Skills C．The History of Chinese Noodles D．A Dish with a Story: Cross-Bridge Noodles 11 The temperature has dropped to 30 degrees below zero. But that doesn’t stop the fishermen of Songyuan City in Jilin Province. Each morning, they get up early and rush to Chagan Lake with a group of horses. The fishermen use the horses to help pull fishing nets out of the frozen (结冰的) lake. For centuries, those living around Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing. They dig holes through the thick ice and use a huge net to catch winter fish in the freezing water. This special method has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Every year in December, there is a winter fishing festival, which marks the beginning of the winter fishing season. Over 20 activities are held during the festival, such as winter sports competitions, nature watching, and the selling of the first-caught fish. None of the tourists at this year’s festival would ever imagine that Chagan Lake used to be only tens of square kilometers in size. In the past, there was little rainfall and the lake grew smaller over time. Also, overfishing is one of the main reasons. To bring Chagan Lake’s beauty back, the government used a lot of different methods. They brought in water from the Songhua River, grew more plants, and kept the water clean. The lake now covers about 500 square kilometers, and fish numbers have returned to a normal level. Now, an increasing number of tourists flock to the lake each year to experience the ancient ice-fishing tradition. The special event of ice fishing at Chagan Lake is sure to continue into the future. It’s a hit with tourists, and the locals say that the life of Chagan Lake will only get better and better. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 42．According to the passage, what is Chagan Lake famous for? A．Ice fishing.

The elephant-foot drum dance is very popular among the Dai people. It can be danced by one or two people or a group of people. It is often performed during festivals. This form of dance was at first used to scare off evil and welcome the new year. Now it is a way for the Dai people to show their joy as well as their village culture. It also shows that the Dai people are kind, friendly and inclusive (包容的). Xie Wenping, who is 32 years old, learned how to make these drums from his grandfather. “I was determined (下定决心的) to make more and better drums when I grew up,” Xie said. But making an elephant-foot drum is no easy task. “Making an elephant-foot drum takes about 30 steps and one month,” Xie explained. First, Xie needs to choose the right wood and shape it like an elephant’s leg. Then he needs to hollow out the inside and cover it with cowhide (牛皮). The cowhide needs to go through many steps before it can be used on the drum. After that, Xie paints the drum with special patterns and adds a protective layer (保护层) on top. The last steps are tuning (调音) the drum and making it look nice. “A good elephant-foot drum should sound loud and strong when you beat it,” Xie said. Even though making these drums can be repetitive (重复), Xie always feels encouraged when he sees his grandfather’s smile while making them. “Over the years, the number of craftspeople (工匠) skilled in making elephant-foot drums has gone down,” Xie said. “I feel like it’s my job to keep this tradition alive.” To make it easier for people to enjoy the elephant-foot drum outside of Yunnan, Xie came up with the idea of making a smaller version (版本) of the drum and designing key chains that look like the drum. 47．What is the purpose of the elephant-foot drum dance now? A．To compete with other villages. B．To show their sadness and losses. C．To show their friendliness and culture. D．To scare off evil and welcome the new year. 48．According to Xie, the process of making an elephant-foot drum is ________. A．easy B．challenging C．creative D．the most exciting 49．What is the situation of the drum-making skill? A．The number of craftsmen is increasing. B．The number of craftsmen is going down. C．Its place has been taken by modem drums. D．The tradition is no longer popular among the Dai people. 50．Which can replace “came up with” in the last paragraph? A．thought out B．listened to C．paid attention to D．gave up 51．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．An Elephant-Foot Drum Maker B．Making the Elephant-Foot Drum C．Elephant-Foot Drum: A Cultural Treasure D．The Art and Culture of Elephant-Foot Drum Dance 13 ①Today, everyone knows the importance of protecting our own cultural heritage (遗产), from an amazing building, a historical part of a city to an important work of art. But what about our songs, celebration and local languages?   ② You may already know of UNESCO’s famous list of World Heritage Sites (WHS), made up of places for protection because of their value, such as the Pyramids in Egypt. However, intangible (非物质) culture can be as important as anything we build or create. That’s why in 2008 its first Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) list came out. ③ The list is different from WHS. Its purpose is to record rich but endangered traditions. It includes different and rich customs and culture. Those cultures listed are all in danger now and requires both our attention and action. ④ On the list, the two recent entries (入选) show us just how rich and different they are. The culture of the women divers (潜水者) of Jeju Island in Korea, was added onto the list in 2016.These women dive 10 meters under the sea for food without any machines. They do this for up to seven hours a day, 90 days of a year, holding their breath for about one minute every dive. Diving skills are passed down from parents to children. But today, most divers are in their 60s or 70s.As they become older, younger women refuse to take their place, meaning the practice is in danger. ⑤ Another cultural practice added to the list in the same year is falconry (鹰术). This is the ancient culture of hunting with trained birds. Seen as both an art form and a sport, it requires years of training. Falconry is practiced around the world from Mongolia to the Arab. However, falconry is now disappearing with the growth of cities and the loss of natural habitats. There are fears that the practice may disappear unless we do something. ⑥ While most people agree that UNESCO’s hard work is meaningful, I doubt the fairness of the ICH list. Why are the two practices included while others are not? Also, what else can we do to make sure our intangible culture can be properly taken care of? Maybe the list is just a start. Every one of us has a role to play in our everyday lives. 52．Which of the following culture can never be added to ICH list? A．Languages spoken in Chongqing B．The Dragon Boat Festival C．A piece of music played by erhu D．A much-loved special bridge 53．Which of the following is NOT true?

Dr. Mantri grew up in India. She was taught 57 to use an abacus(算盘) to solve math problems when she was young. After noticing that her son Dhruv had great difficulty with math, she started using the same ancient Chinese tool to help him after school. “My son was in Grade 5 when I noticed he was 58 in math.” said Dr. Mantri, “I would ask him something very easy like ‘35-13 =?’, but he couldn’t work it out.” “I never thought I would teach him to use such an old tool 59 I realized I could try the Chinese abacus. It is a useful 60 to help kids better understand numbers and basic calculations(计 算). Very soon I saw the results. After six days, Dhruv started to make progress 61 with the help of the abacus. He even performed with the abacus at a school meeting where some parents came to 62 advice on using it to help their kids.” Known as the fifth invention of ancient China, Chinese abacus is also 63 as the earliest computer. It helped people solve many math problems in ancient China. 64 you remember the rules, you can easily use it. Sometimes, just move one bead(算珠), then 65 bead, and you will get the answer.

A group of dancers performed the traditional Chinese Puning Yingge folk dance in London last Saturday 66 (celebrate) Chinese New Year and offer people a cultural feast. It is seen as one of 67 (big) celebrations in London. Holding a pair of short sticks, the performers, with their faces painted, jumped and swung the sticks 68 (skillful) while walking and dancing. The 16 dancers come from the Chaoshan region of South China’s Guangdong province, the place where the dance originated.

It dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) and is considered as the dance of warriors (勇士) because of 70 (it) close relationship with the classic novel about Chinese heroism Shui Hu Zhuan (The Water Margin). Through a combination of opera, dance, and martial arts, the dance lights the fighting spirit of the characters in 71 story, said Chen Laifa, a leader of the team of performers. Many members of the dance team are not full-time performers, 72 ordinary people who earn their living by doing different kinds of jobs. “It is their 73 (one) time to have the chance to perform abroad. Their performances draw cheers and applause from the crowds. They take pride 74 traveling to England to spread 75 (wish) of good fortune in the Year of the Loong to people in the United Kingdom,” said Chen. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2024-2025学年九年级英语阅读热点话题(通用版) 2024-2025学年九年级英语阅读热点话题(通用版) 12.非物质文化遗产 一、阅读理解 1 How do you spend your free time? Do you want to live a different after-school life? How about mixing into elements of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产元素)? Here are four examples. Li Chenxi is a student at the No 2 Primary School in Yinchuan. Her school brings traditional Chinese culture into the after-school care services. Li is interested in tie-dye (扎染). She can make dolls and dresses after learning for more than a year. “In the past, I had too much homework to do. But now I can do what I want to do in my free time. I enjoy it,” she said. When Antoine, an international student from Rwanda (卢旺达), first watched the dragon dance, he was surprised and could not wait to join in it. However, the training was not easy. He kept practising day by day to perfectly do the jumps and turns and lift the dragon body high in the air. In 2015, Antoine built the first international student dragon dance team in his school. Now the team has about 100 students from different countries. It is on Saturday afternoon. A group of children are following Zhu Wei in Zimbabwe (津巴布韦). Zhu, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, teaches them tai chi. These children like tai chi. In their opinion, tai chi helps them keep healthy and focus on studies. It’s a mind-body exercise. Chloe from Canada is a paper-cutting lover. Every Sunday, she learns paper-cutting from Mrs Smith. The girl can easily cut butterflies, horses, flowers and so on.    Last weekend, Chloe made a paper-cutting work of Rongbao (蓉宝).

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 is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She started to learn it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to get into better shape through this sport. Yang threw herself into practicing bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and summer heat. “It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing,” recalled Yang, adding that it took her three years to learn the basic skills of bamboo drifting. In order to acquire more bamboo drifting skills, Yang had to practice countless difficult movements on a bamboo pole that was 9 m in length and 15 cm in diameter (直径), and stand all the physical pain that came with it. Through years of hard training, Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her “best friend”. At one point, inspired by her grandmother, Yang began to combine dance with bamboo drifting. “My grandmother came up with an idea. She said that I had been practicing bamboo drifting since I was a child, so why not try to combine dance with the skill? It might be something different,” the young woman explained. Yang’s hard work gradually paid off when she was able to perfectly perform dancing with the traditional bamboo drifting skill. “I hope that more people can know about bamboo drifting and enjoy this form of art,” said Yang. 4．Why did Yang’s grandmother let her learn bamboo drifting?

Chongqing and eastern Sichuan are the main birthplaces of the Chuanjiang Chants. In the age of wooden boat shipping for thousands of years, the power (动力) of wooden boats on the river came from the body of the boatmen. Whenever they headed up against the river or when the boat crossed a shoal, the boatmen had to pull together. Moreover, the long journey was boring and boatmen needed something to relax, and the Chuanjiang Chants appeared. Chuanjiang Chants is both technical and artistic. Boatmen control the direction of the boat just like a driver is responsible for that of a car. And chants are like the accelerator (油门) of a car, controlling the speed of the boat. Therefore, the chants can adjust (调整) the force of the boatmen through their rhythm, so that the ship can move forward smoothly (平稳地). At the same time, the chants are always sung in a bright voice, a good tone, and a beautiful sound. Therefore, it is also an art. However, with the development and popularity of modern ships, Chuanjiang Chants is likely to be forgotten by people, facing an endangered situation. Our country paid great attention to the protection of it and it was included in the first national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Hope that more and more people can get the chance to know the wonderful culture. 9．According to Para. 2, before Chuanjiang Chants appeared, how was the long journey for the boatmen? A．Relaxing and happy. B．Boring and tiring. C．Exciting and proud. D．Tiring but worthy. 10．The underlined word “that” in the third paragraph refers to ________. A．the boat B．a boatman C．the direction D．the accelerator 11．Why does the writer say “Chuanjiang Chants is also an art”? A．Because the chants can control the speed of the boats. B．Because the chants can adjust the force of the boatmen. C．Because the chants can control the direction of the boat. D．Because the chants can be sung in a bright and beautiful voice. 12．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To let more people know and remember the culture of Chuanjiang Chants. B．To introduce how Chuanjiang Chants appeared. C．To encourage readers to experience Chuanjiang Chants themselves. D．To bring readers back to the old times. 4 ①What is cultural heritage (遗产)? It might be historic sites like the Great Wall, or it might be antiques in the Palace Museum. However, there is another kind of heritage— the intangible (无形的) kind. ②Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) refers to things like music, literature, sports and other social practices. We can’t see them or touch them, but they have been passed on from generation to generation for many years. ③United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has a list of ICH from around the world. According to UNESCO official Yang Zhi, ICH provides “an identity (身份认同) to differ (区别) them from others.” ④The sport of hurling (爱尔兰式曲棍球) is an example. Hurling players use a wooden stick with a flat end to hit a small ball. It is a national sport in Ireland. The sport brings Irish people together. In December, UNESCO named Irish hurling as a form of ICH. ⑤Besides, ICH can also have some practical uses. For example, some traditional medical practices not only helped people stay healthy in ancient times, but also have inspired modern science. The “medical bathing” practiced by people in Tibet is a good example of this. Tibetans have been bathing in hot herbal (草药的) water to treat illnesses since more than 600 years ago. Today, many medical colleges still teach this practice to their students. ⑥Each country has its own forms of ICH that show “mankind’s creativity and cultural diversity”, according to Yang. “And for all of us, ICH is a bridge between the past and the future.” 13．The writer writes Para.2 to ________. A．introduce the advantages of ICH B．tell readers what ICH is C．make a list of different kinds of ICH D．show human’s creativity 14．If you are going to make a speech about ICH in China, which is the best choice? A．Basketball— a sport that is popular among Chinese teenagers B．International Labor Day— a day to show respect to workers C．Dragon-Boat Festival— a festival to honor a great poet called Qu Yuan D．Beijing Roast Duck— delicious food that is liked by many Chinese 15．According to the passage, the writer may think that ICH is ________. A．meaningless and useless B．meaningful and useful C．meaningless but useful D．meaningful but useless 16．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5 Oil paper umbrellas, with a history of over 1,000 years in China, used to be common. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), they were introduced to places as far as Japan and Vietnam. However, the hand-made umbrellas became less used in daily life. Instead, they turned into artifacts (历史文物). In 2007, these umbrellas were added to Zhejiang Province’s intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录). Master’s story In 2015, Liu Weixue left a well-paid job as a designer to learn the traditional art of making oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. “When it rains, someone uses the umbrella—that’s what I want to see. After mastering (掌握) the skills, Liu opened a studio and looked for more umbrella-making masters. Liu improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a thicker paper. He also used a lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. In 2017, Liu opened an online shop to sell umbrellas. It now has thousands of followers. Still, Liu doesn’t hurry. To keep the quality (质量), his studio makes only 1,000 umbrellas each year. Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to let more people know about it. Young voice I took Liu’s class to learn about oil paper umbrella-making last term. I learned about their history and the steps to make one. Then I gave it a try in a group! The most fun part was the painting. Still, I had to be very careful as the paper might break. I painted my favorite cartoon character. So did my group partners. We were proud of our work. Finally, we sold the umbrella and gave away the money. —Zhang Tingting 17．When were oil paper umbrellas added to Zhejiang Province’s intangible cultural heritage list? A．In 2015. B．In 2017.

Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner of chabaixi, was glad to see the TV drama brought the technique (技艺) to people’s attention. Chabaixi can create endless patterns. such as bamboo s and mountains or even Chinese characters. How can it be made? There are over a dozen steps, from grinding (磨碎) tea for fine powder, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth (泡沫), and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cupnstead of milk. When the water touches the surface, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha. The quality of diancha is extremely important to whether patterns can be successfully produced later. “Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. This technique is not only unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when free-time activities in some ways were like what we have now,” Zhang said. Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产名录) of Fujian Province in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifcng. He started researching chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the tech nique back in 2009 after decades of practice. Zhang considers all his hard work worthwhile. Now with Zhang’s better skills in tea making, he is also performing and teaching chabaixi in vocational schools across China. “About ten years ago, this special technique was close to disappearing completely. However, it is important to the tea culture, and it would be a shame to let it fade. It is my duty to pass it on to the next generations.” Zhang said. 21．What do the underlined words “gone viral” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Disappeared suddenly. B．Became popular quickly. C．Received good protection. D．Remained highly competitive. 22．Which description of chabaixi is correct? A．It is painted with milk or water. B．It mainly describes beautiful scenery. C．It takes 20 minutes to finish the making process. D．It can’t be successfully made without good quality diancha. 23．Which of the following best describes Zhang Zhifeng? A．Hardworking and responsible. B．Faithful and intelligent. C．Brave and communicative. D．Creative and friendly. 24．Why did the writer include the last paragraph? A．To explain the way to protect chabaixi. B．To tell the value of Zhang Zhifeng’s hard work. C．To show that it is a shame if we let chabaixi fade. D．To introduce Zhang Zhifeng’s plan of passing on chabaixi. 7 Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 25．Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A．Cao Cao. B．Li Bai. C．Tao Yuanming.

After forming a bun at the back of her head, she would decorate it with colourful flowers, the 34-year-old man recalled. ① All the women in the small fishing village of Xunpu in Quanzhou, Fujian province, decorated their hair this way. The colorful and unique (独一无二的) headdress is known as zanhuan or zanhuawei. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008. As an old saying in Xunpu goes, “put flowers in your hair in this life and you will also be pretty in the afterlife.” ② In 2016, he and his older sister opened a salon where tourists could get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zanhua,” said Huang. ③ After going through the full zanhua experience, Hu Titi, one of Huang’s customers, even brought zanhua culture to Paris in France last year. Under the Eiffel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair. ④ The increase in tourist visits has pleased Huang not only because it is good for his business but also because it has led to greater awareness of the history and culture behind zanhua headwear. “Earning a big name for their hard work, resilience (坚韧) and compassion (同情心), the women of Xunpu are well-known for harvesting the highest quality seafood,” said Huang. “When they put a zanhua on their heads, they express their wish to look for happiness.

It has become such a popular part of Yunnan’s culture that in 2008, it was listed as an item of the intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Kunming City. There is a story behind the first creation of cross-bridge noodles. It is said that there was a learner during the Qing Dynasty. He studied every day on an island of Mengzi City in Yunnan. His favorite food was rice noodles, and his wife brought him the noodles every day. But she was disappointed because the noodles would get cold on the way to the island. One day, she discovered that boiling the rice noodles separately could make them taste better. The chicken soup could also stay warm during the trip. It was the oil layer (层) on top of the soup that kept the cold outside and the heat inside. Realizing this, the wife then came up with an idea. She brought the chicken soup, rice noodles, and other ingredients (原料) separately and then mixed them after she arrived on the island. That way, the dish stayed hot and the noodles were fresh when they were added just before eating. The word spread of the delicious dish and the wife’s smart way of keeping the food hot. The dish became known as “crossing-the-bridge noodles” or simply “cross-bridge noodles” in memory of the wife. 37．When were cross-bridge noodles listed as an item of intangible cultural heritage?

A．The Secret of Yunnan Noodles B．The Wife’s Clever Cooking Skills C．The History of Chinese Noodles D．A Dish with a Story: Cross-Bridge Noodles 11 The temperature has dropped to 30 degrees below zero. But that doesn’t stop the fishermen of Songyuan City in Jilin Province. Each morning, they get up early and rush to Chagan Lake with a group of horses. The fishermen use the horses to help pull fishing nets out of the frozen (结冰的) lake. For centuries, those living around Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing. They dig holes through the thick ice and use a huge net to catch winter fish in the freezing water. This special method has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Every year in December, there is a winter fishing festival, which marks the beginning of the winter fishing season. Over 20 activities are held during the festival, such as winter sports competitions, nature watching, and the selling of the first-caught fish. None of the tourists at this year’s festival would ever imagine that Chagan Lake used to be only tens of square kilometers in size. In the past, there was little rainfall and the lake grew smaller over time. Also, overfishing is one of the main reasons. To bring Chagan Lake’s beauty back, the government used a lot of different methods. They brought in water from the Songhua River, grew more plants, and kept the water clean. The lake now covers about 500 square kilometers, and fish numbers have returned to a normal level. Now, an increasing number of tourists flock to the lake each year to experience the ancient ice-fishing tradition. The special event of ice fishing at Chagan Lake is sure to continue into the future. It’s a hit with tourists, and the locals say that the life of Chagan Lake will only get better and better. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 42．According to the passage, what is Chagan Lake famous for? A．Ice fishing.

The elephant-foot drum dance is very popular among the Dai people. It can be danced by one or two people or a group of people. It is often performed during festivals. This form of dance was at first used to scare off evil and welcome the new year. Now it is a way for the Dai people to show their joy as well as their village culture. It also shows that the Dai people are kind, friendly and inclusive (包容的). Xie Wenping, who is 32 years old, learned how to make these drums from his grandfather. “I was determined (下定决心的) to make more and better drums when I grew up,” Xie said. But making an elephant-foot drum is no easy task. “Making an elephant-foot drum takes about 30 steps and one month,” Xie explained. First, Xie needs to choose the right wood and shape it like an elephant’s leg. Then he needs to hollow out the inside and cover it with cowhide (牛皮). The cowhide needs to go through many steps before it can be used on the drum. After that, Xie paints the drum with special patterns and adds a protective layer (保护层) on top. The last steps are tuning (调音) the drum and making it look nice. “A good elephant-foot drum should sound loud and strong when you beat it,” Xie said. Even though making these drums can be repetitive (重复), Xie always feels encouraged when he sees his grandfather’s smile while making them. “Over the years, the number of craftspeople (工匠) skilled in making elephant-foot drums has gone down,” Xie said. “I feel like it’s my job to keep this tradition alive.” To make it easier for people to enjoy the elephant-foot drum outside of Yunnan, Xie came up with the idea of making a smaller version (版本) of the drum and designing key chains that look like the drum. 47．What is the purpose of the elephant-foot drum dance now? A．To compete with other villages. B．To show their sadness and losses. C．To show their friendliness and culture.

C．Its place has been taken by modem drums. D．The tradition is no longer popular among the Dai people. 50．Which can replace “came up with” in the last paragraph? A．thought out B．listened to C．paid attention to D．gave up 51．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．An Elephant-Foot Drum Maker B．Making the Elephant-Foot Drum C．Elephant-Foot Drum: A Cultural Treasure D．The Art and Culture of Elephant-Foot Drum Dance 13 ①Today, everyone knows the importance of protecting our own cultural heritage (遗产), from an amazing building, a historical part of a city to an important work of art. But what about our songs, celebration and local languages?   ② You may already know of UNESCO’s famous list of World Heritage Sites (WHS), made up of places for protection because of their value, such as the Pyramids in Egypt. However, intangible (非物质) culture can be as important as anything we build or create. That’s why in 2008 its first Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) list came out. ③ The list is different from WHS. Its purpose is to record rich but endangered traditions. It includes different and rich customs and culture. Those cultures listed are all in danger now and requires both our attention and action. ④ On the list, the two recent entries (入选) show us just how rich and different they are. The culture of the women divers (潜水者) of Jeju Island in Korea, was added onto the list in 2016.These women dive 10 meters under the sea for food without any machines. They do this for up to seven hours a day, 90 days of a year, holding their breath for about one minute every dive. Diving skills are passed down from parents to children. But today, most divers are in their 60s or 70s.As they become older, younger women refuse to take their place, meaning the practice is in danger. ⑤ Another cultural practice added to the list in the same year is falconry (鹰术). This is the ancient culture of hunting with trained birds. Seen as both an art form and a sport, it requires years of training. Falconry is practiced around the world from Mongolia to the Arab. However, falconry is now disappearing with the growth of cities and the loss of natural habitats. There are fears that the practice may disappear unless we do something. ⑥ While most people agree that UNESCO’s hard work is meaningful, I doubt the fairness of the ICH list. Why are the two practices included while others are not? Also, what else can we do to make sure our intangible culture can be properly taken care of? Maybe the list is just a start. Every one of us has a role to play in our everyday lives. 52．Which of the following culture can never be added to ICH list? A．Languages spoken in Chongqing B．The Dragon Boat Festival C．A piece of music played by erhu D．A much-loved special bridge 53．Which of the following is NOT true? A．The writer is not sure about the fairness of the ICH list. B．Pyramids in Egypt were recently added onto the ICH list. C．The culture of Falconry was added onto the ICH list in 2016. D．The writer believes that songs are as important as the work of art. 54．The writer’s main purpose in writing the passage is to ________. A．question the fairness and usefulness of the ICH list B．report two recent amazing entries onto the ICH list C．call attention to the culture of diving women in Korea D．encourage people to work on protecting our intangible culture 55．The best structure of the passage may be ________. A． B． C． D． 二、完形填空 Some old Chinese inventions have won wide popularity around the world. Recently, a British woman used an ancient Chinese invention to help her son 56 a math problem. Dr. Mantri grew up in India. She was taught 57 to use an abacus(算盘) to solve math problems when she was young. After noticing that her son Dhruv had great difficulty with math, she started using the same ancient Chinese tool to help him after school. “My son was in Grade 5 when I noticed he was 58 in math.” said Dr. Mantri, “I would ask him something very easy like ‘35-13 =?’, but he couldn’t work it out.” “I never thought I would teach him to use such an old tool 59 I realized I could try the Chinese abacus. It is a useful 60 to help kids better understand numbers and basic calculations(计 算). Very soon I saw the results. After six days, Dhruv started to make progress 61 with the help of the abacus. He even performed with the abacus at a school meeting where some parents came to 62 advice on using it to help their kids.” Known as the fifth invention of ancient China, Chinese abacus is also 63 as the earliest computer. It helped people solve many math problems in ancient China. 64 you remember the rules, you can easily use it. Sometimes, just move one bead(算珠), then 65 bead, and you will get the answer. What a magic tool! So far, the Chinese abacus has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage of human beings(人类非物质文化遗产)for 10 years ever since 2013. 56．A．deal with B．part with C．agree with D．compete with 57．A．what B．how C．where D．when 58．A．creative B．weak C．talented D．successful 59．A．after B．when C．until D．since 60．A．sign B．report C．method D．symbol 61．A．politely B．loudly C．bravely D．rapidly 62．A．care for B．leave for     C．ask for     D．pay for 63．A．cost B．caught C．covered D．considered 64．A．As long as B．As well as C．As good as D．As far as 65．A．other B．others C．the others D．another 三、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 During the Spring Festival, videos and pictures of Yingge Dance, or “Hero’s song” from London flooded social media.
