Winter solstice (冬至) is officially the start of a new season. It marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. Here are some ancient winter solstice celebrations and how they’ re marked.
Dongzhi
In Chinese, Dongzhi literally means “winter’s arrival”. Traditionally celebrated as an end-of-harvest festival during the Han Dynasty, today it is an important time to spend with family and eat a hearty meal of tangyuan or dumplings.
Inti Raymi
Peru’s winter solstice is celebrated in June and honors the Incan sun god Inti. Banned during the first years of the Spanish conquest (征服), the festival has since been brought to life and now takes place in the city of Cusco, once the center of the Incan Empire. Festivities include holding feasts and a series of ceremonies.
Shab-e Yalda

In many Central Asian countries, Yalda is a time when loved ones gather to eat, drink, and read poetry and welcome the sun. Nuts and fruits like watermelons are symbolic, as their red colors represent dawn and life.
Toji
In Japan, the winter solstice comes with several rituals (仪式) and customs to welcome the return of the sun.

Passage 4
The relationship between Jeffrey Pang and his son, Kevin Pang, was like hot-and-sour soup. It boiled over easily. The Pangs, who moved to the United States in 1988, wanted their son and daughter to know Chinese culture. As a video game-playing American teen, Kevin wasn’t interested.
But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-loving dad. “My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the cookbook he has just published.
When it comes to cooking Chinese food, he points out that there is no one definition of Chinese food. “Chinese cooking is not hidebound. For example, consider baked pork chop rice (烤猪排饭) popularized in Hong Kong. It is a pork chop with egg-fried rice. And then you top it with this thick tomato sauce,” explains Kevin. “And then you top that with some cheese. It’s a very interesting combined dish that has some Western British influences, and it’s altogether very Chinese as well.”
By the time Kevin joined America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) staff in 2020 as its editorial director for digital content, his dad had become an Internet celebrity demonstrating the family’s recipes. Kevin recognized an opportunity not only to share his own family’s food stories but also to apply the ATK method of breaking down recipes into simple steps for the home cook.

Passage 5
(2025年高二下·山东烟台·开学考试)It was the summer of 2021 and Niesha, then 13, had moved to campus just three weeks earlier knowing almost nothing about AI. In less than a month, her view on A1 and who could participate in building it completely changed.
Niesha is one of the high school-aged students to complete the Lakota AI Code Camp — a three-week summer program taught by four Indigenous AI experts from across The country. The camp trains students with little coding (编码) experience in data science, machine learning, and app development. It’s also an attempt to build an Indigenous talent pool, to find and train future experts who can digitally protect Indigenous culture — and keep endangered native languages alive.
Indigenous languages are at risk and AI offers hope for revitalization (复兴). That’s the sort of work the camp co-founders, Mason Grimshaw and Michael Running Wolf, are hoping to achieve.
But they both ran into the same problem: The workforce of Indigenous AI experts was in extremely short supply. Research has shown that 18% of those who live in tribal (部落的) areas don’t have internet access. And, while Native Americans make up about 2% of the U.S. population, they only account for a small percentage of computer science instructors.
At first, the founders didn’t think the camp would succeed because the professional educators they approached all had the same response: There’s no way to teach a 13-year-old Python if they’ve never coded before. That’s not even to mention the technical difficulties the group faced. But they tried anyway just to see how far the kids could go, and they went far. There were still moments of self-doubt among the students, Grimshaw said. Encouragement from people who can understand their background is invaluable. For Niesha, that understanding helped her push through struggles at camp. “One of the best parts of the camp is you can use native humor and people would understand,” Niesha said. By the end “the camp felt like family to me.” That’s why she plans to go back for a third summer.
14.What do we know about Lakota AI Code Camp?
A.It invites AI experts from different cultures.
B.It helps protect Indigenous cultures and languages.
C.It is open to students with good coding experience.
D.It trains students in endangered Indigenous languages.
15.How does the author support his idea in paragraph 4?
A.By offering statistical data. B.By making comparisons.
C.By making classifications. D.By giving examples.
16.What was professional educators’ initial attitude towards Lakota AI Code Camp?
A.Confused. B.Favorable. C.Doubtful. D.Uninterested.
17.What mainly motivates Niesha to return for a third summer?
A.Access to new technologies. B.A sense of belonging.
C.A desire for better humor skills. D.Commitment to promoting local culture.
Passage 6
“Staging Dunhuang,” the opening exhibition of Dunhuang Contemporary Art Museum, is on show through May 31, 2025.
Supported by Dunhuang Museum and other institutes, the exhibition consists of four parts: “History,” “Nature,” “Reproduction” and “Mind.” The exhibition features precious art works. Organizers are looking to explore the relationship between historical collections and artistic creation. Through the perspectives of geography, nature, and technology, the exhibition aims to focus on the art of Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) as a model for the production of contemporary culture and visual experience.
The museum’s outside is a reminder of Dunhuang’s natural landscape with its wind-blown sand hills and arched grottoes, echoing the aesthetic elements of Dunhuang’s frescoes (沙壁画). Its inside design is also impressive as it borrows elements of the natural scenery in Dunhuang. By burning incense (燃香) from Dunhuang, the whole exhibition hall is full of a special scent. Separate small rooms refer to Dunhuang caves, inviting visitors to rethink Dunhuang across time and geography.
“When mentioning Dunhuang art, we immediately think of the Mogao Grottoes, ”said Wu Hong, chief consultant of the exhibition, “But Dunhuang art is more than that. Dunhuang is a larger socio-geographical space. The Mogao Grottoes, a group of carvings located 25 kilometers south of Dunhuang, is only one part of this geographic space.”
With videos and interactive installations, the exhibition presents the profound and unique charm of Dunhuang culture. Say for example that Chen Zhihao and Zhou Zhenru use light and shadow to rediscover the Mogao Cave’s “Lapa Lamp Burning Ceremony.” Their work “A River of Stars” is based on a draft painted by the Russian Oldenburg exploration. The digital work brings a moving scene from Dunhuang’s history back to life.
The exhibition is like an experiment in the creation of new fields and images through the dialogue between the history and the modern technology.

Passage 8
(2025年高二上·浙江温州·期末)At the crack of dawn in California’s Central Valley, birds sing their morning songs and some of them dive down from the branches of a tree that has stood its ground for centuries. A few feet above the tree's base is a white ring, indicating how high the San Joaquin River once rose. Dos Rios is supposed to flood — it’s a floodplain, recently transformed into California’s newest state park.
Just 15 years ago, this area looked quite different. In the summer months, the River flowed lazily around the edges of this park, but in the spring, when snow melted, the river took on a forceful character, sweeping through this land, which caused damage to crops and homes nearby.
Therefore, in 2008, Rentner, president of the nonprofit organization River Partners, began the process of buying the land from a farming family. Since then, her team has been transforming the land into what it naturally was. Reengineering involves cutting holes into levees (防洪堤) to release floodwaters, sparing nearby communities. The solution is designed to work with nature instead of against it, making Dos Rios a new place for people to enjoy nature.
For indigenous (土著的) people who were forced to leave their homes, this new park also means a lot. With the construction of a 3-acre Native Use Garden, indigenous people plan to plant native plants that would be beneficial not only to the habitat, but also for indigenous herbs and cultural practices.
Now, the land, just like a time machine, looks more like it did hundreds of years ago, before farms and towns cropped up. Though holding great promise, the 2. 5-square-mile area is a small part of a vast agricultural region, and even restoring (修复) that much land has been no easy task. However, Rentner is optimistic, “We are thinking about doing 10 more Dos Rioses just in the next decade. Maybe more.”
26.What was Dos Rios like before becoming a state park?
A.A plain threatened by floods. B.A valley covered with trees.
C.A natural reserve rich in water. D.A city park famous for birds.
27.What is the working principle of River Partners?
A.Boosting the yields in the local fields. B.Making the most of natural resources.
C.Putting the safety of local communities first. D.Operating in harmony with the natural world.
28.What is a consequence of the restoration of Dos Rios according to the text?
A.Introduction of foreign plant species. B.Loss of indigenous cultural practices.
C.Increased efforts in restoration projects. D.Further damage to the local environment.
29.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Dos Rios in California: A Secret Wonderland
B.California’s Newest State Park: A Time Machine
C.Indigenous People in Central Valley: A Living Legend
D.Nonprofit Organization River Partners: A Green Pioneer
Passage 9
Located in Yuanyang County, Yunnan Province, the Hani Terraces (梯田), also known as Yuanyang Rice Terraces, are an amazing UNESCO World Heritage site. These terraces, worked by the Hani people for over 1,300 years, cover an area of about 166 square kilometers. The highly intricate irrigation (灌溉)system, which has many detailed parts and connections, allows water to flow smoothly from the mountaintop down to the terraces, creating a beautiful picture of water-filled fields.
The Hani people, deeply connected to the land, have developed sustainable farming techniques passed down through generations. They take good care of each terrace, ensuring that the rice fields are always filled with water and nutrients necessary for growth. These terraces not only provide a means of living for the Hani people but also serve as a cultural symbol of their harmonious relationship with nature.
Visitors to the Hani Terraces are often impressed by the impressive beauty and skilled craftsmanship displayed by the Hani people. The sight of the terraces during sunrise or sunset is particularly breathtaking, as the sunlight reflects off the water-filled fields, creating an appealing display of colors. Many tourists also have the opportunity to interact with the Hani locals, gaining insights into their traditional way of life and cultural practices.
Despite facing challenges such as climate change and urbanization, the Hani people continue to adapt and preserve their ancient farming traditions. The terraces serve as a reminder of the importance of sustainable farming practices and the need to protect our natural resources for future generations.
Terraced fields are not just agricultural landscapes; they are also cultural treasures. They represent the creativity and adaptability of the people who created them and their deep connection to the land. Preserving these terraced fields is essential not only for their beauty but also for the preservation of a way of life that has sustained generations.

Passage 10
(2025年高二上·安徽阜阳·阶段练习)Visitors to the Yangguan Museum in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province, have the opportunity to see the first restored Mingguang armor (铠甲) from the Tang Dynasty. The 1.86-meter tall suit of armor gave visitors a window through which they could appreciate the wisdom of ancient Chinese artisans and the charm of China’s armor culture.
Wen Chenhua, the artisan who restored the armor that played a significant role in the battlefield more than 1,000 years ago, is one of the biggest fans of ancient armor in China. Following his passion, he has made the restoration of armor his lifelong career.
Since 2008, Wen and his team of over 30 people have produced more than 10,000 armor replicas according to ancient samples, gradually gathering thousands of followers from around the world who have been caught up by the charm of Chinese armor culture.
Armor from the Tang and Song Dynasties are Wen’s favorites. He pointed to the Mingguang armor as a specific example. Mingguang means “bright and shiny” and in this case refers specifically to glittering nature of the breastplate of the armor, according to Wen.
“Which one is the most difficult to be restored for me? I have to say none is easy to be restored,” Wen said. Due to prohibitions against privately storing suits of armor in ancient times, there are very few complete suits of armor that have been well preserved in China and detailed written records remain scarce. Although Wen found many mentions of ancient armor in historical records, most records did not discuss what the armor actually looked like.
Wen also used the statues of goddesses in the Mogao Grottoes as references, as the armor on one of these statues still had colour. It took Wen and his team several months to restore the Mingguang armor. It is composed of more than 1,300 iron pieces and weighs nearly 25 kilograms in total. They used modern technology to create patterns that were inspired by a traditional forging technique (锻造技术) popular in the region during the Tang Dynasty. Wen said that all of these efforts are aimed at getting as close as possible to historical reality, noting that “no one can see the real Mingguang armor but I will try my best to restore the truth”.
34.What inspired Wen Chenhua to restore the armor?
A.Visitors' encouragement.
B.The charm of Chinese tradition.
C.The wisdom of ancient Chinese artisans.
D.His enthusiasm for ancient Chinese armor.
35.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “replicas” in paragraph 3?
A.Styles. B.Displays. C.Copies. D.Statues.
36.Why was it difficult to restore the armor?
A.There is a shortage of professional restorers.
B.There was few information about patterns of it.
C.The colour of the armor was completely destroyed.
D.The ancient government banned storing suits of armor privately.
37.What can best describe Wen and his team?
A.Iron men. B.War heroes.
C.Light explorers. D.Museum magicians.

“It’s really surprising. I didn’t expect such a wide response,” Li said in an interview, noting she was surprised by how foreigners on the Internet were taken with her works. Li’s videos center on her life with her grandmother in the rural parts of Sichuan Province. In the videos, Li is often dressed in beautiful traditional clothes, rises at sunrise, rests at sunset, plants seeds and harvests flowers, cooks Chinese dishes and makes bamboo furniture (家具).
In response, Li, who was raised in the countryside, said “Most people today are facing huge stress in work and life, so I hope they can feel relaxed when watching my videos.” “There are so many ideas in my mind of old craftsmanship (技艺) and food we have been enjoying for thousands of years.

Passage 13
(2025年高二上·四川成都·期中)Chinese hit video game Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release.
The game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.
Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics.
To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the epic by checking out forums, TV shows, anime, manga and online encyclopedias.
Through this process, western players have not only refined their gaming skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for Sun Wukong and Journey to the West.
“Although many people might compare Sun Wukong to Western superheroes, I believe they are different,” said Patrick from the US. “Sun Wukong has a carefree and independent nature, unlimited by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man, who by contrast follows principles like ‘with great power comes great responsibility’.”
Journey to the West offers a comprehensive narrative that covers a very dangerous journey, numerous encounters and the exploration of various cultures, making it a rich source for diverse storytelling types and cultural backgrounds.
Perhaps these are some of the key reasons why Journey to the West has been translated into over a dozen languages, with more than 60 versions available worldwide.
47.What is the Destined One in Paragraph 2?
A.The nickname of Sun Wukong in the game.
B.The fictional main character of this hit game.
C.One of the adventures to collect the six Relics.
D.One of the six Relics belonging to the Celestial Court.
48.What does the underlined word “bridge” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A.Get rid of. B.Take control of. C.Keep track of D.Take advantage of.
49.What can be learned about the game from the passage?
A.It has gradually gained popularity among players worldwide.
B.Its original character Sun Wukong is similar to western superheroes.
C.It has been translated into many languages with numerous versions available worldwide.
D.It is rather challenging for western players due to their unfamiliarity with Chinese culture.
50.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.A Chinese hit video game and its original novel Journey to the West.
B.Reasons behind the success of Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong.
C.The cultural impact and western players’ reception of a Chinese hit video game.
D.Challenges and benefits Black Myth: Wukong brings to the spread of Chinese culture.
Passage 14
Made-in-China products have made their mark during the Paris Olympics. According to the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee, 80 percent of the Phryges, the mascots (吉祥物) of the Games, are produced in China. Chinese producers are also controlling the market for sports products such as cheering sticks and fan scarves.
The top quality of made-in-China products received an unexpected praise from a Western reporter covering the Games. The reporter, who still uses a backpack for reporters from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, thought highly of the product. His comments have led to great sales for the Chinese related products.
The Summer Olympics also saw fresh moves by several Chinese brands (品牌) to offer the world a taste of the rich Chinese culture. Last month, HEYTEA, a leading brand of Chinese new-style tea, made its Paris first appearance with a pop-up store designed as a traditional tea house. The store worked mainly to make Chinese tea culture known through creative tea drinks. China's fashionable toy maker Pop Mart opened a store by the famous Louvre Museum to share art and fun. “The Olympics is a good chance to show ourselves to the world.” said Gu Yujia, vice president of HEYTEA.“The sales are good and the buyers really like us.”
Chinese local governments are also strengthening their city-branding efforts this year, which marks the 60th year of the building of diplomatic (外交的) relations between China and France, as well as the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism.
Guizhou, a beautiful province in southwest China that gained much attention in the sports world with exciting football games played by villagers, held an eye-catching photo exhibition at some subway stations in Paris.
“Walking in Paris, one can run into China countless times,” the country's tourism office in Paris said.

Passage 15
When the 2024 Summer Olympics kicked off in Paris, the city went for the wow factor, for the opening ceremony didn’t take place in a stadium but — bucking tradition — outside on the River Seine. Bathed in myth and memory, the Seine is the lifeblood of the city that sprang up on its banks. From its source in Burgundy, the Seine flows 483 miles to reach the sea at Le Havre, with the capital sitting nearly in the middle. The River’s layout within Paris has undergone changes over time, its course altered by constant floods, its branches and channels ultimately flowing into the snakelike riverbed we know today.
It was near the Seine’s banks at Bercy that evidence of the city’s first human settlement was discovered. The earliest fixed settlement was the Neolithic site at the Bercy archaeological dig from 1991 to 1992. “Situated on a branch, or canal, of the Seine, the village had been well preserved under layers of sediment left by floods,” says Sylvie Robin, a museum director.
The city’s beloved stone quays were built over the centuries for the city’s beautification. The quays also served to channel the river and attempt to constrain flooding. As the mighty river fueled industry and empire, dams, locks, bridges, and later factories forever altered its flowing patterns.
For millennia, life was lived on the river. The Seine’s banks were a gathering place for work and leisure. However, a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the public from the river. In the 1960s, highways were constructed directly on the water’s edge. The quays even changed into parking lots. The tide turned in 2013 when the city government decided to pedestrianize the motorway on the Left Bank. Cyclists and walkers returned to the quays, enjoying new facilities such as climbing walls and floating gardens. A riverside park on the Right Bank’s motorway followed in 2016. The much boasted $1.5 billion Olympic Games river cleanup project is the peak of years of investment.
55.What does the underlined word “bucking” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Integrating. B.Resisting. C.Highlighting. D.Embracing.
56.What can we learn about the River Seine according to the text?
A.The earliest settlements were unearthed along the Seine.
B.The River Seine, flowing through Paris, shaped the city.
C.Floods rarely affected the River Seine and its population.
D.The Olympics made the Seine a popular tourist attraction.
57.Why were the stone quays built along the River Seine?
①To defend against attacks. ②To develop the transport.
③To control the floods. ④ To channel the river.
⑤To beautify the surroundings. ⑥To support the Olympics.
A.①②④ B.②③⑥ C.③④⑤ D.①⑤⑥
58.What does the last paragraph highlight?
A.People used to have fun living along the Seine.
B.Urbanization has transformed life on the Seine.
C.Human activities harmed the Seine’s ecosystem.
D.The Paris government aims to energize the Seine.
Ⅱ阅读理解七选五
Passage 1
Qingming is China’s fifth solar term, which usually falls on April 4 or 5. 1 Temperatures begin to rise steadily and rainfall increases, making it a critical time for plowing (耕种) and sowing in the spring.
2 The saying “voles (田鼠) turn to quails (鹌鹑) ” reflects their belief. The vole represented yin likely because voles in winter typically dwell (栖身) underground and prefer shade to avoid sunlight and predators (捕食性动物). 3 They look like quails, which was said to represent yang. It is said that during this solar term, ancient people would see quails moving in grassy fields, which looked like voles. So this gave rise to the saying, highlighting the noticeable change in the behaviour of animals during this period and a shift in yin-yang.
Among the 24 solar terms, Qingning, also called Tomb-Sweeping Day, stands out as the only one celebrated as a major Chinese festival. 4 . Many people even burn jo ss paper (纸钱) and set off firecrackers. However, many new and eco-friendly ways to celebrate Qingming have replaced these traditional practices.
For instance, in 2003, individuals at the Babaoshan Funeral Home in Beijing gently placed paper cranes and boats carrying blessing into a small pool. These items are made from biodegradable wood pulp (浆). 5 This practice not only preserves our tradition. but is also friendly to the environment, ensuring that Qingming is a time of remembrance, reflection and civilization.
A.Ways to honor lost family members vary from area to area.
B.And characters printed will use food-grade pigments (颜料).
C.“Qingming” means the skies are clear and bright.
D.The ancient Chinese believed yin gradually weakens while yang begins to rise in the term.
E.Chinese people pay respect to their ancestors with offerings and by cleaning their graves.
F.The origins of Qingming Festival can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty.
G.But with the temperature rising, they started to come to the ground.
Passage 2
Living heritages are cultural elements that are considered to be an important part of the cultural heritage of our nation and that are still present and transmitted today. 6 It is an artistic practice of writing Chinese characters, often with a brush and ink on Xuan paper.
The evolution of Chinese calligraphy began alongside the earliest Chinese characters discovered to date — inscriptions on oracle bones (甲骨文), from the Shang Dynasty (c. 16th century — 11th century BC) in Anyang, Henan province.
Over time, calligraphy gradually took shape as a form of art rather than a mere means of record. Five major styles of script were born. They were running, cursive, official, seal and regular.
7 The type of brush, density of ink and texture of paper can all change the output. From brush inclination and direction to speed of writing, every twist and turn of the wrist is also calculated. Structure of individual characters and special layout as a whole determine its quality. Moreover, the emotions of the writer are directly reflected on calligraphy.
Calligraphy is a fine art. Lan Ting Xu is one of the most celebrated masterpieces. 8 Its elegance and expressive brushwork gave it both historical and cultural significance in Chinese literature.
Calligraphy is also within reach. Like the Spring Festival couplets that decorate doors of everyday folks, calligraphy has always been the sign of appreciation for the Chinese. Where there is Chinese language, there is calligraphy. 9
Chinese calligraphy is still highly valued today for its more than just writing. 10 It was written on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in2009. We strongly believe Chinese calligraphy will be passed from generation to generation.
A.It is a living heritage.
B.Calligraphy is a demanding art.
C.Calligraphy can be learned easily.
D.Chinese calligraphy is one of them.
E.It is one of the most famous and favorite art works.
F.And where there is Chinese calligraphy, there is beauty.
G.It was created by Wang Xizhi during the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Passage 3
Engaging with the past
Imagine you’re at home, you start a role-playing game where you can enjoy views of the Nanjing Qinhuai Lantern Festival, completing set tasks along the Qinhuai River. This is one way for video games to enjoy the traditional Chinese culture without having to travel there.
11 Perfect World Games, an online gaming company, recently invited a group of heritage experts including Chen Haitao, a designer from the Dunhuang Academy; and Zhou Xianguang, an inheritor of Longquan sword intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage — to Beijing to discuss new ways to promote traditional Chinese culture.
This year, Zhou was invited to submit designs for swords in its online mobile game Jade Dynasty. They kept the features of swords that were used during the Tang Dynasty but absorbed fairy and knight-themed elements from the game. 12 That enabled players to know another aspect of Chinese heritage. Zhou says, “Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. 13 ”
The trend toward combining games with cultural heritage started decades ago. 14 Traditional culture once served merely as a background to the gameplay, and failed to offer a detailed experience. Now the company digs out details and divides them into small sections, and focuses on their unique cultural points, so players can gain a deeper experience.
15 Some overseas players also have a strong interest in Chinese culture, but may find it too difficult to understand. So the company tries to convey the culture in ways they are familiar with to help them better understand.
A.And that’s not all.
B.These games are also available to players overseas.
C.However, these early attempts were described as “vague” (含糊的).
D.Games featuring traditional culture attract more young players.
E.Several decades ago, the practice of sword-making nearly died out.
F.Besides, some figures seen in Dunhuang’s wall paintings were also added to the mobile game.
G.It increases the number of channels available to spread knowledge about our cultural heritage.
Passage 4
Students’ Journey to Empower Rural Heritage
From Aug 18 to 22 a team of 15 Tsinghua University students, representing diverse backgrounds from China, South Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia, set foot on an overseas research exploration focusing on rural revitalization (振兴) in Indonesian villages, particularly within Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB).
With the diverse cultural heritage, Indonesia is home to over 83,000 villages, each radiating its own charm and character. 16
The research mission took the students to Sukarara and Sade villages, two of NTB’s tourist destinations. 17 . Sukarara and Sade are a world apart from the busy cities to which most of the students are accustomed, but the villages are a living test to Indonesia’s rich culture and its devotion to preserving traditions. Revitalizing these villages goes beyond mere economic development. 18 . The weaving skills and architectural techniques of Sukarara and Sade villages are not only beautiful, but they are also an inseparable part to the identity of these communities. It’s essential that they strike a balance between progress and preservation.
19 . They carried with them not only the memories of their experiences there, but also the responsibility to make a positive impact on these remarkable places. 20 . They were optimistic that Indonesian villages could experience meaningful development, ultimately leading to increased opportunities for employment and an improved quality of life.
A.In Sukarara, a local tradition requires girls master weaving skills before marriage
B.They decided to be a bridge between tradition and progress, united for their growth
C.Both were selected for revitalization efforts led by the Village Revitalization Team
D.While these villages possess undeniable fascination, many remain underdeveloped
E.It’s about preserving the cultural heritage and ensuring traditions being passed down
F.As the journey came to an end, all the students regarded it as a rewarding experience
G.This effort includes the knowledge exchange between the students and local villagers
Passage 5
While the term cultural heritage is used to refer to both physical and intangible qualities, it is not limited to physical objects. It can also refer to beliefs, traditions, language, and food. These are often passed down from generation to generation. 21 The preservation of these cultural treasures can help promote global understanding and mutual respect.
22 Determining what constitutes(构成) “cultural heritage” is often a challenging and contentious task, and advocates of cultural preservation and integrity are often accused of making false assumption(假设)about the cultures they study.
It is important to recognize that cultural heritage is not limited to physical objects and monuments. It also includes living expressions of culture inherited from our ancestors. Intangible cultural heritage refers to knowledge and practices related to the environment and traditional crafts. 23 It is essential to protect these valuable assets for their protection and appreciation.
24 It is essential to preserve these objects in order to preserve their significance. And it is necessary to protect the intangible cultural heritage, because it is often overlooked. These works of art have symbolic and aesthetic(美学的) value and are valuable to the people of the country. Some of them are even more significant than the physical objects.
As cultural heritage is a part of a culture, it can be protected. However, if someone is trying to patent a design, you have to ensure that you do not copy it. 25 Whether they’re paintings, sculptures, or food, they’re worth protecting. Fortunately, it’s important to protect and conserve our cultural heritage. It’s the legacy of the culture and the way it was once lived.
A.They are a source of pride and identity for a society.
B.Cultural heritage includes the inheritance of a culture.
C.These can be valuable as a tool for future generation.
D.Cultural heritage is a vital part of any society.
E.It is an important part of international policy.
F.First, consider what cultural heritage is.
G.The same is true of cultural objects.

Passage 3
Winter solstice (冬至) is officially the start of a new season. It marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. Here are some ancient winter solstice celebrations and how they’ re marked.
Dongzhi
In Chinese, Dongzhi literally means “winter’s arrival”. Traditionally celebrated as an end-of-harvest festival during the Han Dynasty, today it is an important time to spend with family and eat a hearty meal of tangyuan or dumplings.
Inti Raymi
Peru’s winter solstice is celebrated in June and honors the Incan sun god Inti. Banned during the first years of the Spanish conquest (征服), the festival has since been brought to life and now takes place in the city of Cusco, once the center of the Incan Empire. Festivities include holding feasts and a series of ceremonies.
Shab-e Yalda
For centuries, Iranians around the world have gathered on winter solstice to celebrate Yalda, meaning birth or rebirth. In many Central Asian countries, Yalda is a time when loved ones gather to eat, drink, and read poetry and welcome the sun. Nuts and fruits like watermelons are symbolic, as their red colors represent dawn and life.
Toji
In Japan, the winter solstice comes with several rituals (仪式) and customs to welcome the return of the sun. One custom dating back hundreds of years involves taking a hot bath with yuzu, a fruit known for its healing properties. Other traditions include foods containing the “n” sound, as they are believed to bring good luck.

9.推理判断题。对于中国的Dongzhi,文中提到“Traditionally celebrated as an end-of-harvest festival during the Han Dynasty(在汉代传统上作为丰收结束的节日来庆祝)”,可见其历史久远;秘鲁的Inti Raymi,“Banned during the first years of the Spanish conquest (征服), the festival has since been brought to life(在西班牙征服的最初几年被禁止,此后这个节日又恢复生机)”,说明其有着较长的历史沿革;伊朗的Shab-e Yalda,“For centuries, Iranians around the world have gathered on winter solstice to celebrate Yalda(几个世纪以来,世界各地的伊朗人都会在冬至相聚庆祝雅尔达节)”,体现出悠久历史;日本的Toji,“One custom dating back hundreds of years involves taking a hot bath with yuzu(一个可追溯到几百年前的习俗是用柚子泡澡)”,同样表明历史较长。由此推知,这四个冬至庆祝活动的共同之处是都有着悠久的历史。故选B项。
Passage 4
The relationship between Jeffrey Pang and his son, Kevin Pang, was like hot-and-sour soup. It boiled over easily. The Pangs, who moved to the United States in 1988, wanted their son and daughter to know Chinese culture. As a video game-playing American teen, Kevin wasn’t interested.
But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-loving dad. “My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the cookbook he has just published.
When it comes to cooking Chinese food, he points out that there is no one definition of Chinese food. “Chinese cooking is not hidebound. For example, consider baked pork chop rice (烤猪排饭) popularized in Hong Kong. It is a pork chop with egg-fried rice. And then you top it with this thick tomato sauce,” explains Kevin. “And then you top that with some cheese. It’s a very interesting combined dish that has some Western British influences, and it’s altogether very Chinese as well.”
By the time Kevin joined America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) staff in 2020 as its editorial director for digital content, his dad had become an Internet celebrity demonstrating the family’s recipes. Kevin recognized an opportunity not only to share his own family’s food stories but also to apply the ATK method of breaking down recipes into simple steps for the home cook.
10.Why would Kevin phone his father after becoming a food writer?
A.To publish his Chinese cookbook. B.To inquire about hot-and-sour soup.
C.To seek permission for video games. D.To ask about cooking Chinese food.
11.What does the underlined word “hidebound” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Unpleasant. B.Changeable.
C.Inflexible. D.Unpopular.
12.What can we infer about Kevin and his father from the passage?
A.Their relationship has improved. B.They run America’s Test Kitchen.
C.They do dishes to attract followers. D.Their cookbook is about low-fat food.
13.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Cooking at home helps you cook well for less.
B.Father and son teach Chinese cooking together.
C.Chinese culture is becoming popular in the US.
D.Recipes and cooking techniques are really easy.
【答案】10.D 11.C 12.A 13.B
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了凯文向父亲学习烹饪中国菜,并一起分享教学中国菜的故事。
10.细节理解题。根据第二段中“But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-loving dad.(但当凯文成为《芝加哥论坛报》的美食作家时,他意识到自己有一个宝贵的资源:他热爱烹饪的父亲。)”和“I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques.(我会打电话询问食谱和烹饪技巧。)”可知,他打电话的目的是询问有关烹饪中国菜的问题。故选D项。
11.词句猜测题。根据划线词句前文“When it comes to cooking Chinese food, he points out that there is no one definition of Chinese food.(说到烹饪中国菜,他指出,中国菜没有一个统一的定义。)”以及后文“For example, consider baked pork chop rice (烤猪排饭) popularized in Hong Kong. It is a pork chop with egg-fried rice. And then you top it with this thick tomato sauce(举个例子,想想在香港流行的烤猪排饭。这是猪排配蛋炒饭。然后在上面撒上厚厚的番茄酱)”可知,中国菜的做法不是一成不变的。从而推知划线部分意思是“固定的,不灵活的”。故选C项。
12.推理判断题。根据第二段中“But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-loving dad. “My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the cookbook he has just published.(但当凯文成为《芝加哥论坛报》的美食作家时,他意识到自己有一个宝贵的资源:他热爱烹饪的父亲。“我和父亲第一次有了共同的兴趣。我会打电话询问食谱和烹饪技巧。他会教我中国美食的世界,”凯文在他刚刚出版的烹饪书的引言中写道。)”可知,他们的父子关系改善了。故选A项。
13.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Kevin recognized an opportunity not only to share his own family’s food stories but also to apply the ATK method of breaking down recipes into simple steps for the home cook.(凯文意识到这是一个机会,不仅可以分享自己家庭的食物故事,还可以应用ATK的方法,将食谱分解成简单的家庭烹饪步骤。)”可知,本文主要介绍了凯文向父亲学习烹饪中国菜,并一起分享教学中国菜的故事。故选B项。
Passage 5
(2025年高二下·山东烟台·开学考试)It was the summer of 2021 and Niesha, then 13, had moved to campus just three weeks earlier knowing almost nothing about AI. In less than a month, her view on A1 and who could participate in building it completely changed.
Niesha is one of the high school-aged students to complete the Lakota AI Code Camp — a three-week summer program taught by four Indigenous AI experts from across The country. The camp trains students with little coding (编码) experience in data science, machine learning, and app development. It’s also an attempt to build an Indigenous talent pool, to find and train future experts who can digitally protect Indigenous culture — and keep endangered native languages alive.
Indigenous languages are at risk and AI offers hope for revitalization (复兴). That’s the sort of work the camp co-founders, Mason Grimshaw and Michael Running Wolf, are hoping to achieve.
But they both ran into the same problem: The workforce of Indigenous AI experts was in extremely short supply. Research has shown that 18% of those who live in tribal (部落的) areas don’t have internet access. And, while Native Americans make up about 2% of the U.S. population, they only account for a small percentage of computer science instructors.
At first, the founders didn’t think the camp would succeed because the professional educators they approached all had the same response: There’s no way to teach a 13-year-old Python if they’ve never coded before. That’s not even to mention the technical difficulties the group faced. But they tried anyway just to see how far the kids could go, and they went far. There were still moments of self-doubt among the students, Grimshaw said. Encouragement from people who can understand their background is invaluable. For Niesha, that understanding helped her push through struggles at camp. “One of the best parts of the camp is you can use native humor and people would understand,” Niesha said. By the end “the camp felt like family to me.” That’s why she plans to go back for a third summer.
14.What do we know about Lakota AI Code Camp?
A.It invites AI experts from different cultures.
B.It helps protect Indigenous cultures and languages.
C.It is open to students with good coding experience.
D.It trains students in endangered Indigenous languages.

(起初,创始人并不认为这个夏令营会成功,因为他们接触的专业教育工作者都有同样的反应:如果一个13岁的孩子从来没有写过代码,那就不可能教他Python)”可推测,这些专业教育工作者最初对这个夏令营的做法是持怀疑态度的。故选C项。
17.细节理解题。根据最后一段末句“By the end ‘the camp felt like family to me.’ That’s why she plans to go back for a third summer.(到最后,‘营地对我来说就像家一样’。这就是她计划在一次回去参加第三次夏令营的原因)”可知,在夏令营中感受到的归属感使她还想第三次参加夏令营。故选B项。
Passage 6
“Staging Dunhuang,” the opening exhibition of Dunhuang Contemporary Art Museum, is on show through May 31, 2025.
Supported by Dunhuang Museum and other institutes, the exhibition consists of four parts: “History,” “Nature,” “Reproduction” and “Mind.” The exhibition features precious art works. Organizers are looking to explore the relationship between historical collections and artistic creation. Through the perspectives of geography, nature, and technology, the exhibition aims to focus on the art of Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) as a model for the production of contemporary culture and visual experience.
The museum’s outside is a reminder of Dunhuang’s natural landscape with its wind-blown sand hills and arched grottoes, echoing the aesthetic elements of Dunhuang’s frescoes (沙壁画). Its inside design is also impressive as it borrows elements of the natural scenery in Dunhuang. By burning incense (燃香) from Dunhuang, the whole exhibition hall is full of a special scent. Separate small rooms refer to Dunhuang caves, inviting visitors to rethink Dunhuang across time and geography.
“When mentioning Dunhuang art, we immediately think of the Mogao Grottoes, ”said Wu Hong, chief consultant of the exhibition, “But Dunhuang art is more than that. Dunhuang is a larger socio-geographical space. The Mogao Grottoes, a group of carvings located 25 kilometers south of Dunhuang, is only one part of this geographic space.”
With videos and interactive installations, the exhibition presents the profound and unique charm of Dunhuang culture. Say for example that Chen Zhihao and Zhou Zhenru use light and shadow to rediscover the Mogao Cave’s “Lapa Lamp Burning Ceremony.” Their work “A River of Stars” is based on a draft painted by the Russian Oldenburg exploration. The digital work brings a moving scene from Dunhuang’s history back to life.
The exhibition is like an experiment in the creation of new fields and images through the dialogue between the history and the modern technology.

Passage 8
(2025年高二上·浙江温州·期末)At the crack of dawn in California’s Central Valley, birds sing their morning songs and some of them dive down from the branches of a tree that has stood its ground for centuries. A few feet above the tree's base is a white ring, indicating how high the San Joaquin River once rose. Dos Rios is supposed to flood — it’s a floodplain, recently transformed into California’s newest state park.
Just 15 years ago, this area looked quite different. In the summer months, the River flowed lazily around the edges of this park, but in the spring, when snow melted, the river took on a forceful character, sweeping through this land, which caused damage to crops and homes nearby.
Therefore, in 2008, Rentner, president of the nonprofit organization River Partners, began the process of buying the land from a farming family. Since then, her team has been transforming the land into what it naturally was. Reengineering involves cutting holes into levees (防洪堤) to release floodwaters, sparing nearby communities. The solution is designed to work with nature instead of against it, making Dos Rios a new place for people to enjoy nature.
For indigenous (土著的) people who were forced to leave their homes, this new park also means a lot. With the construction of a 3-acre Native Use Garden, indigenous people plan to plant native plants that would be beneficial not only to the habitat, but also for indigenous herbs and cultural practices.
Now, the land, just like a time machine, looks more like it did hundreds of years ago, before farms and towns cropped up. Though holding great promise, the 2. 5-square-mile area is a small part of a vast agricultural region, and even restoring (修复) that much land has been no easy task. However, Rentner is optimistic, “We are thinking about doing 10 more Dos Rioses just in the next decade. Maybe more.”
26.What was Dos Rios like before becoming a state park?
A.A plain threatened by floods. B.A valley covered with trees.
C.A natural reserve rich in water. D.A city park famous for birds.
27.What is the working principle of River Partners?
A.Boosting the yields in the local fields. B.Making the most of natural resources.
C.Putting the safety of local communities first. D.Operating in harmony with the natural world.
28.What is a consequence of the restoration of Dos Rios according to the text?
A.Introduction of foreign plant species. B.Loss of indigenous cultural practices.
C.Increased efforts in restoration projects. D.Further damage to the local environment.
29.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Dos Rios in California: A Secret Wonderland
B.California’s Newest State Park: A Time Machine
C.Indigenous People in Central Valley: A Living Legend
D.Nonprofit Organization River Partners: A Green Pioneer
【答案】26.A 27.D 28.C 29.B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是非盈利组织River Partners如何将加州的Dos Rios这个曾经受洪水威胁的平原改造成与自然和谐相处、人们可以享受自然的州立公园的。
26.细节理解题。根据第二段“Just 15 years ago, this area looked quite different. In the summer months, the River flowed lazily around the edges of this park, but in the spring, when snow melted, the river took on a forceful character, sweeping through this land, which caused damage to crops and homes nearby.(就在15年前,这个地区看起来完全不同。在夏季的几个月里,这条河在公园的边缘慵懒地流淌,但在春天,当雪融化时,这条河变得有力,席卷了这片土地,给附近的庄稼和房屋造成了破坏。)”可知,在成为州立公园之前,Dos Rios是受洪水威胁的平原。故选A项。
27.细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“The solution is designed to work with nature instead of against it, making Dos Rios a new place for people to enjoy nature.(该解决方案旨在与自然合作,而不是与自然对抗,使Dos Rios成为人们享受自然的新地方。)”可知,River Partners的工作原理是与自然世界和谐相处。故选D项。
28.细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Though holding great promise, the 2.5-square-mile area is a small part of a vast agricultural region, and even restoring (修复) that much land has been no easy task. However, Rentner is optimistic, “We are thinking about doing 10 more Dos Rioses just in the next decade. Maybe more. ”(尽管前景光明,但这2.5平方英里的区域只是广大农业区的一小部分,甚至修复这么多土地也不是一件容易的事。然而,Rentner很乐观,“我们正在考虑在未来十年内再做10个Dos rise。也许更多。”)”可知,恢复Dos Rios的后果是加大了修复工作力度。故选C项。
29.主旨大意题。本文主要介绍的是非盈利组织River Partners如何将加州的Dos Rios这个曾经受洪水威胁的平原改造成与自然和谐相处、人们可以享受自然的州立公园的。所以,用B项“California’s Newest State Park: A Time Machine(加州最新的州立公园:时光机器)”作为本文的题目,与文章主题相符合。故选B项。
Passage 9
Located in Yuanyang County, Yunnan Province, the Hani Terraces (梯田), also known as Yuanyang Rice Terraces, are an amazing UNESCO World Heritage site. These terraces, worked by the Hani people for over 1,300 years, cover an area of about 166 square kilometers. The highly intricate irrigation (灌溉)system, which has many detailed parts and connections, allows water to flow smoothly from the mountaintop down to the terraces, creating a beautiful picture of water-filled fields.
The Hani people, deeply connected to the land, have developed sustainable farming techniques passed down through generations. They take good care of each terrace, ensuring that the rice fields are always filled with water and nutrients necessary for growth. These terraces not only provide a means of living for the Hani people but also serve as a cultural symbol of their harmonious relationship with nature.
Visitors to the Hani Terraces are often impressed by the impressive beauty and skilled craftsmanship displayed by the Hani people. The sight of the terraces during sunrise or sunset is particularly breathtaking, as the sunlight reflects off the water-filled fields, creating an appealing display of colors. Many tourists also have the opportunity to interact with the Hani locals, gaining insights into their traditional way of life and cultural practices.
Despite facing challenges such as climate change and urbanization, the Hani people continue to adapt and preserve their ancient farming traditions. The terraces serve as a reminder of the importance of sustainable farming practices and the need to protect our natural resources for future generations.
Terraced fields are not just agricultural landscapes; they are also cultural treasures. They represent the creativity and adaptability of the people who created them and their deep connection to the land. Preserving these terraced fields is essential not only for their beauty but also for the preservation of a way of life that has sustained generations.

Passage 10
(2025年高二上·安徽阜阳·阶段练习)Visitors to the Yangguan Museum in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province, have the opportunity to see the first restored Mingguang armor (铠甲) from the Tang Dynasty. The 1.86-meter tall suit of armor gave visitors a window through which they could appreciate the wisdom of ancient Chinese artisans and the charm of China’s armor culture.
Wen Chenhua, the artisan who restored the armor that played a significant role in the battlefield more than 1,000 years ago, is one of the biggest fans of ancient armor in China. Following his passion, he has made the restoration of armor his lifelong career.
Since 2008, Wen and his team of over 30 people have produced more than 10,000 armor replicas according to ancient samples, gradually gathering thousands of followers from around the world who have been caught up by the charm of Chinese armor culture.
Armor from the Tang and Song Dynasties are Wen’s favorites. He pointed to the Mingguang armor as a specific example. Mingguang means “bright and shiny” and in this case refers specifically to glittering nature of the breastplate of the armor, according to Wen.
“Which one is the most difficult to be restored for me? I have to say none is easy to be restored,” Wen said. Due to prohibitions against privately storing suits of armor in ancient times, there are very few complete suits of armor that have been well preserved in China and detailed written records remain scarce. Although Wen found many mentions of ancient armor in historical records, most records did not discuss what the armor actually looked like.
Wen also used the statues of goddesses in the Mogao Grottoes as references, as the armor on one of these statues still had colour. It took Wen and his team several months to restore the Mingguang armor. It is composed of more than 1,300 iron pieces and weighs nearly 25 kilograms in total. They used modern technology to create patterns that were inspired by a traditional forging technique (锻造技术) popular in the region during the Tang Dynasty. Wen said that all of these efforts are aimed at getting as close as possible to historical reality, noting that “no one can see the real Mingguang armor but I will try my best to restore the truth”.
34.What inspired Wen Chenhua to restore the armor?
A.Visitors' encouragement.
B.The charm of Chinese tradition.
C.The wisdom of ancient Chinese artisans.
D.His enthusiasm for ancient Chinese armor.
35.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “replicas” in paragraph 3?
A.Styles. B.Displays. C.Copies. D.Statues.
36.Why was it difficult to restore the armor?
A.There is a shortage of professional restorers.
B.There was few information about patterns of it.
C.The colour of the armor was completely destroyed.
D.The ancient government banned storing suits of armor privately.
37.What can best describe Wen and his team?
A.Iron men. B.War heroes.
C.Light explorers. D.Museum magicians.
【答案】34.D 35.C 36.B 37.A
【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了我国甲胄修复大师温陈华及其团队尽自己全力修复中国古代盔甲的故事。
34.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Wen Chenhua, the artisan who restored the armor that played a significant role in the battlefield more than 1,000 years ago, is one of the biggest fans of ancient armor in China. (温陈华是一位工匠,他修复了1000多年前在战场上发挥了重要作用的盔甲,他是中国古代盔甲的最忠实的粉丝之一。)”可知,温陈华对中国古代甲胄怀抱激情,是一位忠实的粉丝,这激励了温陈华进行修复甲胄工作。故选D。
35.词句猜测题。根据第三段的“according to ancient samples”可知,温陈华及其团队根据古代甲胄样本,制作出的是甲胄的复制品,因此replicas与copies含义一致。故选C。
36.推理判断题。根据第五段的“Due to prohibitions against privately storing suits of armor in ancient times, there are very few complete suits of armor that have been well preserved in China and detailed written records remain scarce. (由于古代禁止私藏甲胄,在中国保存完好的完整甲胄很少,详细的文字记录也很少。)”可知,在古代中国,保存完好的甲胄很少,与其相关的文字记录也少,由此可推测,古代保留下来的甲胄信息较少,这导致温陈华修复铠甲具有一定难度。故选B。
37.推理判断题。通读全文,根据第一段的“Visitors to the Yangguan Museum in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province, have the opportunity to see the first restored Mingguang armor from the Tang Dynasty. The 1.86-meter tall suit of armor gave visitors a window through which they could appreciate the wisdom of ancient Chinese artisans and the charm of China’s armor culture.

40.词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Mid-Autumn Day in China is also known as the Moon Festival, which is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar when the moon is at its roundest and brightest,( 在中国,中秋节也被称为中秋节,是在农历八月十五日,月亮最圆、最亮的时候。)”可知,农历八月十五这天最圆最亮的月亮使中秋节成为中国文化中团圆的象征。因此划线词it指代整个节日——中秋节,因为中秋节这个节日本身才被视为团圆的象征。故选D。
41.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Winter is just right for the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival. Being the world’s biggest winter festival of its kind, it presents various colorfully lit sculptures and buildings made from ice and snow.

“It’s really surprising. I didn’t expect such a wide response,” Li said in an interview, noting she was surprised by how foreigners on the Internet were taken with her works. Li’s videos center on her life with her grandmother in the rural parts of Sichuan Province.

Some are almost forgotten. I hope to preserve them through my small efforts.”
“China has tried for so many years to promote our culture globally but made little progress, and that’s because of a lack of spontaneity (自发性) and few focus on Chinese people’s daily lives,” Zhang Xiaoming, director of the China National Center for Culture Studies, said in a recent interview with The Beijing News. “China needs more Li Ziqi”.

46.推理判断题。通读全文,结合第一段内容“After posting a short video on April 27 about planting and cooking peas, Chinese food blogger Li Ziqi witnessed her followers on YouTube over 10 million.

Passage 13
(2025年高二上·四川成都·期中)Chinese hit video game Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release.
The game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.
Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics.
To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the epic by checking out forums, TV shows, anime, manga and online encyclopedias.
Through this process, western players have not only refined their gaming skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for Sun Wukong and Journey to the West.
“Although many people might compare Sun Wukong to Western superheroes, I believe they are different,” said Patrick from the US. “Sun Wukong has a carefree and independent nature, unlimited by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man, who by contrast follows principles like ‘with great power comes great responsibility’.”
Journey to the West offers a comprehensive narrative that covers a very dangerous journey, numerous encounters and the exploration of various cultures, making it a rich source for diverse storytelling types and cultural backgrounds.
Perhaps these are some of the key reasons why Journey to the West has been translated into over a dozen languages, with more than 60 versions available worldwide.
47.What is the Destined One in Paragraph 2?
A.The nickname of Sun Wukong in the game.
B.The fictional main character of this hit game.
C.One of the adventures to collect the six Relics.
D.One of the six Relics belonging to the Celestial Court.
48.What does the underlined word “bridge” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A.Get rid of. B.Take control of. C.Keep track of D.Take advantage of.
49.What can be learned about the game from the passage?
A.It has gradually gained popularity among players worldwide.
B.Its original character Sun Wukong is similar to western superheroes.
C.It has been translated into many languages with numerous versions available worldwide.
D.It is rather challenging for western players due to their unfamiliarity with Chinese culture.
50.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.A Chinese hit video game and its original novel Journey to the West.
B.Reasons behind the success of Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong.
C.The cultural impact and western players’ reception of a Chinese hit video game.
D.Challenges and benefits Black Myth: Wukong brings to the spread of Chinese culture.
【答案】47.B 48.A 49.D 50.C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国热门电子游戏《黑色神话:悟空》的文化影响以及西方玩家对这款游戏的接受程度。
47.细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.(在这款游戏中,玩家将扮演“命中注定的人”,开始收集孙悟空的六件遗物,并向天庭发起挑战。)”可知,Destined One指的是游戏中玩家所扮演的角色。故选B项。
48.词句猜测题。根据第三段的内容“Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics.(这款游戏拥有近千年的中国文化遗产,但它的故事情节和角色对许多西方国家的玩家来说很难理解。例如,一名玩家在社交媒体上分享说,他们对《西游记》的不熟悉导致他们不断丢失隐藏的宝藏,最终导致他们在第二章的boss战中反复失败。与此同时,一些玩家对“二郎神”和“灵须子”这样的名字感到不知所措,对于不熟悉汉语语音的人来说,这些名字很难发音。)”可知,划线单词后面的these cultural divides指的是由于对中国文化的不熟悉导致西方玩家对故事情节和角色难理解;再由划线单词后面的“these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West”可知,一位爱好者写了一份200页的大纲,详细介绍了孙悟空在《西游记》中所有100章的能力,肯定是为了弥合第三段提到的文化差异,所以划线单词bridge的意义为“弥合,消除”,与get rid of意义一致。故选A项。

Chinese local governments are also strengthening their city-branding efforts this year, which marks the 60th year of the building of diplomatic (外交的) relations between China and France, as well as the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism.
Guizhou, a beautiful province in southwest China that gained much attention in the sports world with exciting football games played by villagers, held an eye-catching photo exhibition at some subway stations in Paris.

Passage 15
When the 2024 Summer Olympics kicked off in Paris, the city went for the wow factor, for the opening ceremony didn’t take place in a stadium but — bucking tradition — outside on the River Seine. Bathed in myth and memory, the Seine is the lifeblood of the city that sprang up on its banks. From its source in Burgundy, the Seine flows 483 miles to reach the sea at Le Havre, with the capital sitting nearly in the middle. The River’s layout within Paris has undergone changes over time, its course altered by constant floods, its branches and channels ultimately flowing into the snakelike riverbed we know today.
It was near the Seine’s banks at Bercy that evidence of the city’s first human settlement was discovered. The earliest fixed settlement was the Neolithic site at the Bercy archaeological dig from 1991 to 1992. “Situated on a branch, or canal, of the Seine, the village had been well preserved under layers of sediment left by floods,” says Sylvie Robin, a museum director.
The city’s beloved stone quays were built over the centuries for the city’s beautification. The quays also served to channel the river and attempt to constrain flooding. As the mighty river fueled industry and empire, dams, locks, bridges, and later factories forever altered its flowing patterns.
For millennia, life was lived on the river. The Seine’s banks were a gathering place for work and leisure. However, a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the public from the river. In the 1960s, highways were constructed directly on the water’s edge. The quays even changed into parking lots. The tide turned in 2013 when the city government decided to pedestrianize the motorway on the Left Bank. Cyclists and walkers returned to the quays, enjoying new facilities such as climbing walls and floating gardens. A riverside park on the Right Bank’s motorway followed in 2016. The much boasted $1.5 billion Olympic Games river cleanup project is the peak of years of investment.
55.What does the underlined word “bucking” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Integrating. B.Resisting. C.Highlighting. D.Embracing.
56.What can we learn about the River Seine according to the text?
A.The earliest settlements were unearthed along the Seine.
B.The River Seine, flowing through Paris, shaped the city.
C.Floods rarely affected the River Seine and its population.
D.The Olympics made the Seine a popular tourist attraction.
57.Why were the stone quays built along the River Seine?
①To defend against attacks. ②To develop the transport.
③To control the floods. ④ To channel the river.
⑤To beautify the surroundings. ⑥To support the Olympics.
A.①②④ B.②③⑥ C.③④⑤ D.①⑤⑥
58.What does the last paragraph highlight?
A.People used to have fun living along the Seine.
B.Urbanization has transformed life on the Seine.
C.Human activities harmed the Seine’s ecosystem.
D.The Paris government aims to energize the Seine.
【答案】55.B 56.B 57.C 58.D
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴黎塞纳河的一些历史以及重要作用。
55.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“When the 2024 Summer Olympics kicked off in Paris, the city went for the wow factor, for the opening ceremony didn’t take place in a stadium but(当2024年夏季奥运会在巴黎开幕时,这座城市想要创造奇迹,因为开幕式没有在体育场举行,而是……)”以及后文“outside on the River Seine(在塞纳河上)”可知,巴黎想要创造奇迹,开幕式没有在体育场举行,而是打破传统,在塞纳河上举行。故划线词意思是“抵制”。故选B。
56.细节理解题。根据第二段“It was near the Seine’s banks at Bercy that evidence of the city’s first human settlement was discovered. The earliest fixed settlement was the Neolithic site at the Bercy archaeological dig from 1991 to 1992. “Situated on a branch, or canal, of the Seine, the village had been well preserved under layers of sediment left by floods,” says Sylvie Robin, a museum director.(在贝尔西的塞纳河岸边附近,人们发现了这座城市第一个人类定居点的证据。最早的固定定居点是1991年至1992年贝尔西考古挖掘的新石器时代遗址。“这个村庄位于塞纳河的一条支流或运河上,在洪水留下的沉积物层下保存得很好,”博物馆馆长西尔维·罗宾说)”可知,流经巴黎的塞纳河塑造了这座城市。故选B。
57.细节理解题。根据第三段“The city’s beloved stone quays were built over the centuries for the city’s beautification. The quays also served to channel the river and attempt to constrain flooding. As the mighty river fueled industry and empire, dams, locks, bridges, and later factories forever altered its flowing patterns.(这座城市备受喜爱的石码头是几个世纪以来为美化城市而建造的。这些码头也起到了引导河流的作用,并试图控制洪水。这条强大的河流为工业和帝国提供了动力,水坝、水闸、桥梁和后来的工厂永远地改变了它的流动模式)”可知,沿着塞纳河建造石头码头是为了控制洪水、疏通河道以及美化环境。故选C。58.主旨大意题。
根据最后一段“For millennia, life was lived on the river. The Seine’s banks were a gathering place for work and leisure. However, a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the public from the river. In the 1960s, highways were constructed directly on the water’s edge.

The much boasted $1.5 billion Olympic Games river cleanup project is the peak of years of investment.(几千年来,一直有人靠河而生。塞纳河两岸是工作和休闲的聚集地。然而,在20世纪,一种不同的城市规划方法开始将公众与河流分开。在20世纪60年代,高速公路直接建在水边。码头甚至变成了停车场。2013年,当市政府决定在左岸的高速公路上设置行人专用区时,情况发生了变化。骑自行车和步行的人回到码头,享受新的设施,如攀岩墙和浮动花园。2016年,右岸高速公路上的一个河畔公园紧随其后。这项耗资15亿美元的奥运河流清理工程是多年来投资的巅峰之作)”可知,最后一段强调了巴黎政府的目标是振兴塞纳河。故选D。
Ⅱ阅读理解七选五
Passage 1
Qingming is China’s fifth solar term, which usually falls on April 4 or 5. 1 Temperatures begin to rise steadily and rainfall increases, making it a critical time for plowing (耕种) and sowing in the spring.
2 The saying “voles (田鼠) turn to quails (鹌鹑) ” reflects their belief. The vole represented yin likely because voles in winter typically dwell (栖身) underground and prefer shade to avoid sunlight and predators (捕食性动物). 3 They look like quails, which was said to represent yang. It is said that during this solar term, ancient people would see quails moving in grassy fields, which looked like voles. So this gave rise to the saying, highlighting the noticeable change in the behaviour of animals during this period and a shift in yin-yang.
Among the 24 solar terms, Qingning, also called Tomb-Sweeping Day, stands out as the only one celebrated as a major Chinese festival. 4 . Many people even burn jo ss paper (纸钱) and set off firecrackers. However, many new and eco-friendly ways to celebrate Qingming have replaced these traditional practices.
For instance, in 2003, individuals at the Babaoshan Funeral Home in Beijing gently placed paper cranes and boats carrying blessing into a small pool. These items are made from biodegradable wood pulp (浆). 5 This practice not only preserves our tradition. but is also friendly to the environment, ensuring that Qingming is a time of remembrance, reflection and civilization.
A.Ways to honor lost family members vary from area to area.
B.And characters printed will use food-grade pigments (颜料).
C.“Qingming” means the skies are clear and bright.
D.The ancient Chinese believed yin gradually weakens while yang begins to rise in the term.
E.Chinese people pay respect to their ancestors with offerings and by cleaning their graves.
F.The origins of Qingming Festival can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty.
G.But with the temperature rising, they started to come to the ground.

3.上文“The vole represented yin likely because voles in winter typically dwell (栖身) underground and prefer shade to avoid sunlight and predators (捕食性动物).

Passage 2
Living heritages are cultural elements that are considered to be an important part of the cultural heritage of our nation and that are still present and transmitted today. 6 It is an artistic practice of writing Chinese characters, often with a brush and ink on Xuan paper.
The evolution of Chinese calligraphy began alongside the earliest Chinese characters discovered to date — inscriptions on oracle bones (甲骨文), from the Shang Dynasty (c. 16th century — 11th century BC) in Anyang, Henan province.
Over time, calligraphy gradually took shape as a form of art rather than a mere means of record. Five major styles of script were born. They were running, cursive, official, seal and regular.
7 The type of brush, density of ink and texture of paper can all change the output. From brush inclination and direction to speed of writing, every twist and turn of the wrist is also calculated. Structure of individual characters and special layout as a whole determine its quality. Moreover, the emotions of the writer are directly reflected on calligraphy.
Calligraphy is a fine art. Lan Ting Xu is one of the most celebrated masterpieces. 8 Its elegance and expressive brushwork gave it both historical and cultural significance in Chinese literature.
Calligraphy is also within reach. Like the Spring Festival couplets that decorate doors of everyday folks, calligraphy has always been the sign of appreciation for the Chinese. Where there is Chinese language, there is calligraphy. 9
Chinese calligraphy is still highly valued today for its more than just writing. 10 It was written on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in2009. We strongly believe Chinese calligraphy will be passed from generation to generation.
A.It is a living heritage.
B.Calligraphy is a demanding art.
C.Calligraphy can be learned easily.
D.Chinese calligraphy is one of them.
E.It is one of the most famous and favorite art works.
F.And where there is Chinese calligraphy, there is beauty.
G.It was created by Wang Xizhi during the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Passage 3
Engaging with the past
Imagine you’re at home, you start a role-playing game where you can enjoy views of the Nanjing Qinhuai Lantern Festival, completing set tasks along the Qinhuai River. This is one way for video games to enjoy the traditional Chinese culture without having to travel there.
11 Perfect World Games, an online gaming company, recently invited a group of heritage experts including Chen Haitao, a designer from the Dunhuang Academy; and Zhou Xianguang, an inheritor of Longquan sword intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage — to Beijing to discuss new ways to promote traditional Chinese culture.
This year, Zhou was invited to submit designs for swords in its online mobile game Jade Dynasty. They kept the features of swords that were used during the Tang Dynasty but absorbed fairy and knight-themed elements from the game. 12 That enabled players to know another aspect of Chinese heritage. Zhou says, “Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. 13 ”
The trend toward combining games with cultural heritage started decades ago. 14 Traditional culture once served merely as a background to the gameplay, and failed to offer a detailed experience. Now the company digs out details and divides them into small sections, and focuses on their unique cultural points, so players can gain a deeper experience.
15 Some overseas players also have a strong interest in Chinese culture, but may find it too difficult to understand. So the company tries to convey the culture in ways they are familiar with to help them better understand.
A.And that’s not all.
B.These games are also available to players overseas.
C.However, these early attempts were described as “vague” (含糊的).
D.Games featuring traditional culture attract more young players.
E.Several decades ago, the practice of sword-making nearly died out.
F.Besides, some figures seen in Dunhuang’s wall paintings were also added to the mobile game.
G.It increases the number of channels available to spread knowledge about our cultural heritage.

Passage 5
While the term cultural heritage is used to refer to both physical and intangible qualities, it is not limited to physical objects. It can also refer to beliefs, traditions, language, and food. These are often passed down from generation to generation. 21 The preservation of these cultural treasures can help promote global understanding and mutual respect.
22 Determining what constitutes(构成) “cultural heritage” is often a challenging and contentious task, and advocates of cultural preservation and integrity are often accused of making false assumption(假设)about the cultures they study.
It is important to recognize that cultural heritage is not limited to physical objects and monuments. It also includes living expressions of culture inherited from our ancestors. Intangible cultural heritage refers to knowledge and practices related to the environment and traditional crafts. 23 It is essential to protect these valuable assets for their protection and appreciation.
24 It is essential to preserve these objects in order to preserve their significance. And it is necessary to protect the intangible cultural heritage, because it is often overlooked. These works of art have symbolic and aesthetic(美学的) value and are valuable to the people of the country. Some of them are even more significant than the physical objects.
As cultural heritage is a part of a culture, it can be protected. However, if someone is trying to patent a design, you have to ensure that you do not copy it. 25 Whether they’re paintings, sculptures, or food, they’re worth protecting. Fortunately, it’s important to protect and conserve our cultural heritage. It’s the legacy of the culture and the way it was once lived.
A.They are a source of pride and identity for a society.
B.Cultural heritage includes the inheritance of a culture.
C.These can be valuable as a tool for future generation.
D.Cultural heritage is a vital part of any society.
E.It is an important part of international policy.
F.First, consider what cultural heritage is.
G.The same is true of cultural objects.
