Unit 5 Art world 单元话题阅读理解练习 （24-25九年级上·江苏宿迁·阶段练习）China is called the kingdom of fans. Fans are everywhere in our daily life. But how much do you know about them? It is said that fans were first used to cool the air during the Shang Dynasty. At that time they were made of feathers, bamboo or silk. Some of them were round, while others were square. Folding paper fans first became popular during the Song Dynasty. There were usually beautiful pictures on the fans. Some were mountains and rivers, and others were flowers and animals. Many people, including Su Dongpo, a poet of the Song Dynasty, and Tang Bohu, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, even painted and wrote poems on fans. This made the fans into artworks. Many rich and important people liked holding fans. Today, fans are popular gifts. During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, folding fans were given to leaders and officials from other countries, as well as audience (观众) members.

They said to me, “David, the music you like listening to is a lot of noise.” At the same time, my father regularly described the music that he liked as beautiful. As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older, I’ve often heard people of my age say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that? The mere exposure effect may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don’t have so much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favorites. According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music. But I think there is another reason for older people’s dislike of new music. Most new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some types of music began as a rebellion (反抗) by young people against out-of-date ways of doing things. These types include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. They naturally interest younger listeners. Do your parents dislike the music you like, too? Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that. 1．Why do many older people dislike new music? ①Because the new music sounds terrible. ②Because they are afraid of noise. ③Because most new music is not written for them. ④Because they are not familiar with the new music. A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．②④ 2．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph? A．Younger people’s dislike of new music. B．The meaning of the mere exposure effect. C．New music’s attention to younger listeners. D．The fact that your parents dislike the music you like. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．All new music is written for young people. B．Most people no longer explore new music at the age of 33. C．Teenagers usually spend a lot of time watching popular TV series. D．Today’s music is terrible in all people’s eyes. 4．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Why don’t your parents like the music you like? B．What’s the real meaning of the mere exposure effect? C．When do most young people stop exploring new music? D．How do young people like different types of new music? （23-24九年级上·江苏常州·期中）Where do the colors of your clothes come from? The answer is dye (染料). The clothes we wear today are mainly dyed with chemicals (化学物质). But in the past, people did this by hand-and the dyes often came from plants. With a history of more than 1,000 years, tie-dye (扎染) is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China. During Tang and Song dynasties (朝代), this skill became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor as gifts. To tie-dye, you first need to use threads (线) to tie your cloth together. Then put the cloth into the dye. As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you spread the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. Yang Cheng, 52, is the inheritor (传承人) of tie-dye in Anning, Yunnan. He learned the skill from his mother in the 1980s. Yang has mastered (掌握) all the old skills of tie-dye. And he has handed them down to his daughter. At the same time, Yang has studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. He also tries to make some creative designs. Now, Yang teaches tie-dye in schools and communities. More than 100, 000 people have learned from him. Some might worry that tie-dye will be replaced by machinery dyeing. But Yang is confident. “At the end of the day, machines can’t replace our creative hands,” said Yang. 1．According to the passage, tie-dye ________. A．first appeared in Tang Dynasty B．is a skill to make colorful clothes C．came from plants D．could only be used by emperors before 2．The writer uses Yang Cheng’s story to ________.

What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history. The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is ErquanYingyue. As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves (东千佛洞) in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画). 1．When did the erhu become a popular instrument? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．In recent years. 2．To study the history of the erhu, historians usually ________.

D．The erhu is used in both traditional and modern music now. 4．The passage mainly talks about ________. A．the forms of folk music B．the history of the erhu C．the rise of different dynasties D．the development of Chinese instruments （2024·江苏南通·中考真题） Linda is looking through the website http://www.keepingfit.com. Here is what she reads. Researchers have found the health benefits of dancing for people in poor health condition, from improving brain health to creating community. Becky is teaching a group of 80 adults some dancing skills. Many of her students are seated in the dancing room because they have difficulty in moving. When they are following Becky’s pretty movements, a sense of peace comes over them. Dance as a medicine Helen, a researcher, says that dance requires different parts of the brain to work at the same time, that is to say, dance requires more “brain power” than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises. She invited two groups of adults to take part in programmes for over six months. One group practised dancing and the other did a traditional exercise like cycling. Both groups improved their level of physical fitness, but the group of dancers improved more cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention and high-level thinking. Dance described by Helen as “pleasure double-play” can lift the mood and reduce stress. Dance as body acceptance Besides the physical and mental benefits, dance can also help people with diseases accept what their bodies can and can’t do. Jenny is Becky’s student. Her body went numb when she was in her mid-twenties. She had no feelings from the knees down. She suffered from serious muscle tightness and balance problems, making standing and walking difficult for her. Jenny recently joined an online dance programme. Not only has it improved her coordination (协调性). but it has enabled her to overcome her fear of being judged (评价) for how she moves, both in the dance class and out in the world. “I see so many people moving like me,” she says “I don’t have to be perfect in my dancing or make sure my leg lifts this way—it makes me comfortable with where I am right now.” Dance as community Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of dance is the sense of community it creates. Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their moving abilities, but also helps to fight against loneliness and problems in getting along with others. Becky started teaching more than 22 years ago, and she has helped 300 communities in 28 countries around the world. In some countries, such as India and South Kores, people have put their own cultural dance styles into their classes. Becky wants to create a sense of family and community for this group of people. Whenever and wherever she teaches, she hopes to make them feel joyful, get much closer to the community, and explore the limitless possibilities for the rest of their lives. 1．In which part of the website may you find this passage? A．Culture. B．Fashion. C．Health. D．Literature, 2．From “Dance as a medicine” part, we can learn that ________. A．the act of dancing helps to improve “brain power” B．the act of traditional exercise requires more attention C．dance needs more high-level thinking to lift the mood D．dance needs more repetitive exercises than “brain power” 3．How do you understand the underlined part of this passage? A．Jenny feels sad because she is weak in dancing. B．Jenny wants to be perfect after practising dancing. C．Jenny accepts the disabilities of her body after dancing. D．Jenny thinks she should treat her leg for better dancing. 4．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Dancing helps to cure illness B．Dancing helps to better yourself C．Dancing helps to change moods D．Dancing helps to reduce loneliness （23-24九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）Pipa, a traditional Chinese string musical instrument with a history of over 2,000 years, has always been popular among Chinese children who learn music.

Many pieces of pottery in different sizes were shown at the school. Some were a bit broken, but all of them were beautiful works of art created by the students. At the end of last year, the school started a project that called on teachers to collect disused or broken pieces of pottery from the countryside.

As a form of national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产), Beijing silk figurines have a history of more than 1, 000 years, dating all the way to the Tang Dynasty. Usually, a traditional silk figurine is mainly made of natural silk. He Mei is an inheritor (传承者) of Beijing silk figurines. When first seeing the dolls, she was so impressed by their appearances that she decided to learn the skill of making them. Later she set up her company in 2013 to produce silk figurines. Now He’s team is working hard to make Beijing silk figurines go further. “People are familiar with American Barbie dolls. I want to turn Beijing silk figurines into ‘Chinese Barbie dolls’,” she said. Traditional Chinese culture is the main source (来源) of the inspiration (灵感) for their designs. The first Beijing silk figurines the team produced were modelled after the different roles in Peking Opera. The team has also turned well-known characters from other Chinese operas into figurines. To make its products more popular, He’s team has developed complete DIY tool bags, so people can create a figurine of their own within an hour.

The clothes we wear today are mainly dyed with chemicals (化学物质). But in the past, people did this by hand-and the dyes often came from plants. With a history of more than 1,000 years, tie-dye (扎染) is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China. During Tang and Song dynasties (朝代), this skill became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor as gifts. To tie-dye, you first need to use threads (线) to tie your cloth together. Then put the cloth into the dye. As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you spread the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns. Yang Cheng, 52, is the inheritor (传承人) of tie-dye in Anning, Yunnan. He learned the skill from his mother in the 1980s. Yang has mastered (掌握) all the old skills of tie-dye. And he has handed them down to his daughter. At the same time, Yang has studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. He also tries to make some creative designs. Now, Yang teaches tie-dye in schools and communities. More than 100, 000 people have learned from him. Some might worry that tie-dye will be replaced by machinery dyeing.

What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history. The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is ErquanYingyue. As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves (东千佛洞) in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画). 1．When did the erhu become a popular instrument? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．In recent years. 2．To study the history of the erhu, historians usually ________.

Here is what she reads. Researchers have found the health benefits of dancing for people in poor health condition, from improving brain health to creating community. Becky is teaching a group of 80 adults some dancing skills. Many of her students are seated in the dancing room because they have difficulty in moving. When they are following Becky’s pretty movements, a sense of peace comes over them. Dance as a medicine Helen, a researcher, says that dance requires different parts of the brain to work at the same time, that is to say, dance requires more “brain power” than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises. She invited two groups of adults to take part in programmes for over six months. One group practised dancing and the other did a traditional exercise like cycling. Both groups improved their level of physical fitness, but the group of dancers improved more cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention and high-level thinking. Dance described by Helen as “pleasure double-play” can lift the mood and reduce stress. Dance as body acceptance Besides the physical and mental benefits, dance can also help people with diseases accept what their bodies can and can’t do. Jenny is Becky’s student. Her body went numb when she was in her mid-twenties. She had no feelings from the knees down. She suffered from serious muscle tightness and balance problems, making standing and walking difficult for her. Jenny recently joined an online dance programme. Not only has it improved her coordination (协调性). but it has enabled her to overcome her fear of being judged (评价) for how she moves, both in the dance class and out in the world. “I see so many people moving like me,” she says “I don’t have to be perfect in my dancing or make sure my leg lifts this way—it makes me comfortable with where I am right now.” Dance as community Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of dance is the sense of community it creates. Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their moving abilities, but also helps to fight against loneliness and problems in getting along with others. Becky started teaching more than 22 years ago, and she has helped 300 communities in 28 countries around the world. In some countries, such as India and South Kores, people have put their own cultural dance styles into their classes. Becky wants to create a sense of family and community for this group of people. Whenever and wherever she teaches, she hopes to make them feel joyful, get much closer to the community, and explore the limitless possibilities for the rest of their lives. 1．In which part of the website may you find this passage? A．Culture. B．Fashion. C．Health. D．Literature, 2．From “Dance as a medicine” part, we can learn that ________. A．the act of dancing helps to improve “brain power” B．the act of traditional exercise requires more attention C．dance needs more high-level thinking to lift the mood D．dance needs more repetitive exercises than “brain power” 3．How do you understand the underlined part of this passage? A．Jenny feels sad because she is weak in dancing. B．Jenny wants to be perfect after practising dancing. C．Jenny accepts the disabilities of her body after dancing. D．Jenny thinks she should treat her leg for better dancing. 4．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Dancing helps to cure illness B．Dancing helps to better yourself C．Dancing helps to change moods D．Dancing helps to reduce loneliness 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了跳舞对健康状况不佳的人有益。 1．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了跳舞对健康状况不佳的人有益，故文章可能出现在网站的“健康”部分。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“dance requires more ‘brain power’ than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises.”以及“but the group of dancers improved more cognitive abilities”可知舞蹈比简单的重复性运动需要更多的“脑力”，舞者组提高了更多的认知能力，所以跳舞有助于提高“脑力”。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“but it has enabled her to overcome her fear of being judged (评价) for how she moves, both in the dance class and out in the world.”以及“I don’t have to be perfect in my dancing or make sure my leg lifts this way—it makes me comfortable with where I am right now.”可知她克服了在舞蹈课上和世界上因她的动作而受到评判的恐惧，所以她不必完美地跳舞，也不必确保她的腿以这种方式抬起——这让她对现在的状态感到舒适，所以珍妮接受了跳舞后身体的残疾。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了跳舞对健康状况不佳的人有益，以选项B“跳舞有助于提升自己”为标题最合适。故选B。 （23-24九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）Pipa, a traditional Chinese string musical instrument with a history of over 2,000 years, has always been popular among Chinese children who learn music. The diversity (多样性) of its sounds and the beautiful look have drawn so many music lovers. A summer camp founded by pipa player Zhang Hongyan has been held at the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing to teach pipa to children. As part of the annual (每年的) Gateway to Music Festival, one of Beijing’s biggest art festivals for children that has been staged during the summer vacation since 1995, the pipa summer camp marked its 11th year this summer.

Music works, such as Dance of the Yi People and Sun of Homeland, were performed. Zhang was very happy to see so many young Chinese people love to play the pipa. She said, “Art education is a key aspect (方面) of what we do as professional musicians and educators. Teaching helps not only the students a lot, but also the teachers in many ways.” “It’s an important experience for children who have never played the pipa to have an access (使用或见到的机会) to the ancient musical instrument through taking part in the summer camp.
