The Mayan king looked down at the city. There used to be some wonderful pyramids (金字塔), the fantastic gardens and the busy street markets. But now the city was silent and empty.
Many years before, the king found a big rainforest. “The trees are perfect to build my city.” said the king. Just then, an old man walked out behind a tree. “We have always looked after the rainforest and you must, too.” He said. “Don’t cut down the trees! Build your city somewhere else!” But the king neglected the old man’s advice and stuck to building his city near the rainforest. To build more houses, they cut down more trees from the rainforest. As the city grew, the king and his people became richer and richer. Everything seemed perfect, and the king was satisfied.
Until one day, things started to change. It didn’t rain and the rivers dried up. The rainforest finally turned into a desert. With little food and water, people started to leave the city. The king was very worried. Then he remembered the old man he once met. He went back and looked for him. Suddenly, the same old man appeared, standing alone in the desert.
“Look at what you’ve done!” complained the old man, full of disappointment.
The king fell to his knees and asked regretfully, “Please tell me what I should do.”
“Plant two trees for every tree you cut down and then everything may return.” The old man said.
Quickly, the king ordered his people to plant trees in the desert. After many years, the trees grew, the rain returned and the rainforest was filled with life again. First the animals and birds returned and then the people came back, too. The king was happy to see his city was coming back, slowly but surely.

①Do you often hear birdsong outside the window? How do you feel when you hear it? In fact, it is shown that birdsong can influence people’s life.
②Birdsong sounds especially nice in winter because it reminds people of spring. A study found that listening to birdsong for six minutes can help reduce people’s stress. It’s hard to feel sad when you hear birds singing or talking, as the energy in their songs make people feel like walking in the garden. Unlike music, which can sometimes make you produce strong feelings, birdsong is usually seen as positive or neutral (中性的). If you live in a noisy city, birdsong can be a welcome relief from the stress caused by outside noise.
③Another benefit is that birdsong has also been found to improve focus and concentration. It can help people focus on their tasks and be more productive. That’s because when people play birdsong in the background at work, it seems that a “wall” is built to help them stay away from the unpleasant noise outside. In this way, birdsong can be a powerful tool to improve productivity at work.
④Carrie Torn, a doctor in North Carolina has also found that birdsong makes it easier to help people enter a deep sleep. Birdsong, as a kind of white noise, can slow down people’s heartbeats and breath. After listening to birdsong for a long time, a conditioned response (条件反射) is developed in their brains. Therefore, birdsong becomes a signal of entering sleep, which helps them fall asleep faster than before and improve their sleep quality.
⑤Birdsong, a gift from nature, connects people with calmer, more natural settings and makes people feel happier and healthier. So, next time you hear a bird singing, take a moment to enjoy its beautiful melody and let it bring a little joy to your day!
8. According to Para. 2, birdsong may bring people ________.
A. strong feelings B. plenty of stress
C. outside noise D. a welcome relief
9. People who ________ might be interested in reading this passage.
A. like loud and electronic music B. have problems sleeping
C. can focus on tasks easily D. live in the countryside
10. How is the above passage organized?
A. B.
C D.
11. We can infer from the passage that the writer is ________ towards birdsong.
A. supportive B. doubtful
C. neutral D. humorous
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了鸟鸣声对人们的好处。
【8题详解】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Carrie Torn, a doctor in North Carolina has also found that birdsong makes it easier to help people enter a deep sleep.”可知,鸟鸣可以帮助人们更容易地进入深度睡眠,有睡眠问题的人可能对阅读这篇文章感兴趣。故选B。
【10题详解】
篇章结构题。本文第一段引出文章主题:鸟鸣对人们生活的影响。第二段至第四段分别讲述了鸟鸣与季节变化、提高专注力以及睡眠之间的关系。第五段通过总结,强调鸟鸣是大自然的礼物,能够让人感到更加宁静、愉悦和健康。选项C的结构图符合题意。故选C。
【11题详解】
观点态度题。根据最后一段“So, next time you hear a bird singing, take a moment to enjoy its beautiful melody and let it bring a little joy to your day!”可知,作者鼓励读者在听到鸟鸣时,停下来享受它带来的美好旋律,给自己带来一天的快乐。因此,作者对于鸟鸣持支持的态度。故选A。

On June 5th, Douyin, the biggest short video platform in China, gave the “2024 Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) Data Report”. The report shows the fact that the number of short videos about intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has increased by 39% in the past year. Surprisingly, most of these short videos are created by young people between 20 and 30.
Have you ever heard of Qingshen Bamboo Weaving? It’s an amazing ICH skill. The craftsperson (手艺人) make a special kind of bamboo strips (竹丝) as thin as hair and then weave (编织) them into artworks and paintings. Since the process was so difficult that few people would like to learn it, Qingshen Bamboo Weaving was once in danger. However, young people create short videos to show the process and tell the stories about it. The videos draw lots of attention to this old skill. “Young people also introduce these unknown ICH skills in a more creative way,” As stated in the report. “They interview the ICH inheritors (传承人), make a copy of some ICH works. With their effort, these skills become hot topics on the Internet.”
However, what young people want to do is more than these. According to the report, the number of ICH inheritors has increased by 72%. Among them, 199 inheritors are under 30. It means young people are becoming the main force of inheriting ICH skills. Besides, these young people also hope to bring new chances to their hometowns by sharing short videos online. For example, with the spread of short videos about Yingge Dance, an ICH art performance, the Chaoshan area in Guangdong Province has become a popular place to visit in the Spring Festival.
“Intangible cultural heritage is not a cultural relic (遗产), but a part of our life.” Says JiangQianxun, a young inheritor. “We hope that we can bring ICH skills on a new stage for more people to admire. We also wish to bring traditional culture back to life.”
12. The writer leads in the topic in Para. 1 by ________.
A. giving examples B. asking questions
C. making comparisons D. introducing facts
13. We know Qingshen Bamboo Weaving was once in danger because of ________.
A. the hard process B. the high prices
C. modern technologies D. traditional lifestyles
14. The underlined word “these” in Para. 3 refers to ________.
① create short videos ② interview ICH inheritors
③ become ICH inheritors ④ make a copy of ICH works
A. ①②③ B. ①③④
C. ②③④ D. ①②④
15. What’s the writing purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce the popularity of short videos related to ICH skills.
B. To show how young people spread and inherit ICH inheritors.
C. To encourage more young people to create their own short videos.
D. To tell young people when to admire Chinese traditional culture.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Since the process was so difficult that few people would like to learn it, Qingshen Bamboo Weaving was once in danger.”可知,青神竹编曾经处于危险之中是因为其制作过程困难,很少有人愿意学习。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据“However, young people create short videos to show the process and tell the stories about it.”和“They interview the ICH inheritors, make a copy of some ICH works.”可知,“these”指代前面提到的创作短视频、采访非遗传承人、复制非遗作品,①②④正确。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。综合全文内容分析可知,文章主要围绕年轻人在非物质文化遗产的传播和传承方面所做的努力展开,目的是展示年轻人如何传播和传承非遗。故选B。

Have you ever noticed how people always say the music from their childhood is the best?

I am so glad to receive your email. I can’t wait to see you, too. Here is my advice.
I think it will be polite to arrive a little earlier. When you meet my parents, you are supposed to shake hands with them. If possible, please bring some flowers. By the way, we Chinese like red because it stands for happiness and good luck.
As for table manners, we usually let the old start eating first when we have a big meal with them. It is impolite to point at anyone with your chopsticks or stick them into your food.
I hope my reply is helpful and wish you a wonderful time in China.

The Mayan king looked down at the city. There used to be some wonderful pyramids (金字塔), the fantastic gardens and the busy street markets. But now the city was silent and empty.
Many years before, the king found a big rainforest. “The trees are perfect to build my city.” said the king. Just then, an old man walked out behind a tree. “We have always looked after the rainforest and you must, too.” He said. “Don’t cut down the trees! Build your city somewhere else!” But the king neglected the old man’s advice and stuck to building his city near the rainforest. To build more houses, they cut down more trees from the rainforest. As the city grew, the king and his people became richer and richer. Everything seemed perfect, and the king was satisfied.
Until one day, things started to change. It didn’t rain and the rivers dried up. The rainforest finally turned into a desert. With little food and water, people started to leave the city. The king was very worried. Then he remembered the old man he once met. He went back and looked for him. Suddenly, the same old man appeared, standing alone in the desert.
“Look at what you’ve done!” complained the old man, full of disappointment.
The king fell to his knees and asked regretfully “Please tell me what I should do.”
“Plant two trees for every tree you cut down and then everything may return.” The old man said.
Quickly, the king ordered his people to plant trees in the desert. After many years, the trees grew, the rain returned and the rainforest was filled with life again. First the animals and birds returned and then the people came back, too. The king was happy to see his city was coming back, slowly but surely. Before he died, he made a rule that everyone must follow: ________. He strongly believed that his people would look after the rainforest and their city well.

C. didn’t listen to D. paid attention to

①Do you often hear birdsong outside the window? How do you feel when you hear it? In fact, it is shown that birdsong can influence people’s life.
②Birdsong sounds especially nice in winter because it reminds people of spring. A study found that listening to birdsong for six minutes can help reduce people’s stress. It’s hard to feel sad when you hear birds singing or talking, as the energy in their songs make people feel like walking in the garden. Unlike music, which can sometimes make you produce strong feelings, birdsong is usually seen as positive or neutral (中性的). If you live in a noisy city, birdsong can be a welcome relief from the stress caused by outside noise.
③Another benefit is that birdsong has also been found to improve focus and concentration. It can help people focus on their tasks and be more productive. That’s because when people play birdsong in the background at work, it seems that a “wall” is built to help them stay away from the unpleasant noise outside. In this way, birdsong can be a powerful tool to improve productivity at work.
④Carrie Torn, a doctor in North Carolina has also found that birdsong makes it easier to help people enter a deep sleep. Birdsong, as a kind of white noise, can slow down people’s heartbeats and breath. After listening to birdsong for a long time, a conditioned response (条件反射) is developed in their brains. Therefore, birdsong becomes a signal of entering sleep, which helps them fall asleep faster than before and improve their sleep quality.
⑤Birdsong, a gift from nature, connects people with calmer, more natural settings and makes people feel happier and healthier. So, next time you hear a bird singing, take a moment to enjoy its beautiful melody and let it bring a little joy to your day!
8. According to Para. 2, birdsong may bring people ________.
A. strong feelings B. plenty of stress
C. outside noise D. a welcome relief
9. People who ________ might be interested in reading this passage.
A. like loud and electronic music B. have problems sleeping
C. can focus on tasks easily D. live in the countryside
10. How is the above passage organized?
A. B.
C. D.
11. We can infer from the passage that the writer is ________ towards birdsong.
A. supportive B. doubtful
C. neutral D. humorous
(D)
On June 5th, Douyin, the biggest short video platform in China, gave the “2024 Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) Data Report”. The report shows the fact that the number of short videos about intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has increased by 39% in the past year. Surprisingly, most of these short videos are created by young people between 20 and 30.
Have you ever heard of Qingshen Bamboo Weaving? It’s an amazing ICH skill. The craftsperson (手艺人) make a special kind of bamboo strips (竹丝) as thin as hair and then weave (编织) them into artworks and paintings. Since the process was so difficult that few people would like to learn it, Qingshen Bamboo Weaving was once in danger. However, young people create short videos to show the process and tell the stories about it. The videos draw lots of attention to this old skill. “Young people also introduce these unknown ICH skills in a more creative way,” As stated in the report. “They interview the ICH inheritors (传承人), make a copy of some ICH works. With their effort, these skills become hot topics on the Internet.”
However, what young people want to do is more than these. According to the report, the number of ICH inheritors has increased by 72%. Among them, 199 inheritors are under 30. It means young people are becoming the main force of inheriting ICH skills. Besides, these young people also hope to bring new chances to their hometowns by sharing short videos online. For example, with the spread of short videos about Yingge Dance, an ICH art performance, the Chaoshan area in Guangdong Province has become a popular place to visit in the Spring Festival.
“Intangible cultural heritage is not a cultural relic (遗产), but a part of our life.” Says JiangQianxun, a young inheritor. “We hope that we can bring ICH skills on a new stage for more people to admire. We also wish to bring traditional culture back to life.”
12. The writer leads in the topic in Para. 1 by ________.
A. giving examples B. asking questions
C. making comparisons D. introducing facts
13. We know Qingshen Bamboo Weaving was once in danger because of ________.
A. the hard process B. the high prices
C. modern technologies D. traditional lifestyles
14. The underlined word “these” in Para. 3 refers to ________.
① create short videos ② interview ICH inheritors
③ become ICH inheritors ④ make a copy of ICH works
A. ①②③ B. ①③④
C. ②③④ D. ①②④
15. What’s the writing purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce the popularity of short videos related to ICH skills.
B. To show how young people spread and inherit ICH inheritors.
C. To encourage more young people to create their own short videos.
D. To tell young people when to admire Chinese traditional culture.

Dear Li Hua,
Thanks for inviting me to have New Year’s Eve dinner with your family, I can’t wait to try Chinese food and have a taste of Chinese New Year with you. Since I will meet your parents and have a big dinner with them, could you please tell me how to behave well? Should I arrive on time or a little earlier? Am I supposed to shake hands with them or give everyone a hug? Do I need to bring them some gifts? If so, what gifts will be proper?
By the way, could you please introduce some Chinese table manners?
I’m so excited about the trip! See you soon in China!
Yours,
Peter
Hi Peter,
