It is some of the oldest needlework (针线). In the past, people embroidered on bed covers, tablecloths and dresses. Girls would embroider on sachets(香囊). The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou, such as double-faced embroidery(双面绣)—cat, Shu embroidery from Sichuan, such as magpie on plum and mandarin ducks playing on the water(《鸳鸯戏水》), Xiang embroidery from Hunan, such as lions and tigers, and Yue embroidery from Guang dong. Shu embroidery is the oldest of the four. People sold it to other countries through the South Silk Road. It is known for its smooth needlework and beautiful colors. Up till present today, Shu Embroidery has formed its own special style: smooth, bright, and neat. This art form is also deeply affected by the geographical environment, customs and cultures. The Sichuan Embroidery represents the creativity of the Sichuan people for its beautiful designs and great needlework. Embroidery takes time and patience. It might take as long as a whole day to finish just 10 cm of embroidery. By the 1970s, Sichuan had as many as 5,000 embroiderers. There is nothing set in stone. With time going by, embroidery industry is not similar to what was in the past. Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy hand-made Shu embroidery products. There are also very few young embroiderers, so the skill is in danger of dying out. To protect the skill, Shu embroidery was added to China’s intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录) in 2006. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Double-faced embroidery is from Sichuan.

The term instead refers to a network of routes used by traders for more than 1,500 years, which went from China to Eastern Europe. The Silk Road went along the northern borders of China, through India, and Persia and ended up in Eastern Europe near today’s Türkiye and the Mediterranean Sea. It was called the Silk Road because one of the major traded products was silk cloth from China. Besides silk, the Chinese also exported (出口) tea, salt, sugar, porcelain, and spices. Most of what was traded was expensive luxury goods. This was because it was a long trip and merchants (商人) didn’t have a lot of room for goods. They imported, or bought, goods like cotton, ivory, wool, gold, and silver. Merchants traveled in large caravans (车队). They would have many guards with them. Traveling in this way helped in defending from bandits (土匪). Camels were popular animals for transport because much of the route was through dry and harsh land. Although there had been some trade between China and the rest of the world for some time, the silk trade was significantly expanded (发展) by the Han Dynasty. Later, under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, set up by Kublai Khan of the Mongols, trade from China along the Silk Road would reach its peak. During this time the Mongols controlled a significant portion (部分) of the trade route, enabling Chinese merchants to travel safely. The Silk Road was important because it helped to generate trade between a number of different kingdoms and empires. This helped for ideas, culture, inventions, and unique products to spread across much of the settled world. The Silk Road was over 4,000 miles long. There wasn’t just one route, but many routes. Some were shorter, but more dangerous. Others took longer, but were safer. 1．Along the Silk Road, the Chinese traded these goods EXCEPT ________. A．salt, sugar and tea B．spices and porcelain C．oil, wood and paper D．cotton, ivory and wool 2．The underlined part “in this way” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________. A．in a big group like a caravan B．by going through the dry land C．without any guards D．on the back of a camel 3．What’s the fifth paragraph mainly about? A．The history of the Silk Road. B．The importance of the Silk Road. C．The reason for being called the Silk Road. D．The interesting facts about the Silk Road. 4．Which of the following can best describe the Silk Road? A．A trade route between India and Europe. B．A number of trade routes going between China and Eastern Europe. C．A short road covered with silk between China and Türkiye. D．A paved highway used by the ancient Chinese emperors. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了丝绸之路的历史、贸易内容、运输方式及其重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据“Besides silk, the Chinese also exported (出口) tea, salt, sugar, porcelain, and spices.”及“They imported, or bought, goods like cotton, ivory, wool, gold, and silver.”可知，贸易的物品中不包括石油、木材及纸。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Merchants traveled in large caravans (车队).

However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress (压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey (土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcome. In the UK, homes and offices usually have teatime. Tea and other dishes are served at teatime in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers (同事). Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day.

It is probably one of the most ancient arts using light and shadow. It is also a mix of many art forms, including painting, music, opera and story-telling. Shadow puppetry was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) List in 2011. More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wu of Han was very sad about the death of his wife. One day, one of his men happened to see some children playing with toys. The shadows of the toys were lively on the floor. Then he had an idea—he made a puppet (偶) of the emperor’s wife. As night fell, he invited the emperor to watch a puppet show. This is believed to be the start of shadow puppetry. In the Tang Dynasty, shadow puppetry was played by many people in many places around the country. Then in the Yuan Dynasty, it was introduced into West Asian and European countries along the Silk Road. The art form became the most popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was played in almost every province (省) and in many kinds of celebrations like weddings and birthday dinners. It is not an easy job to make the puppets. Their body parts are cut separately and then joined together so that they can move freely. During the show, puppetry artists connect the puppets’ most important joints (关节) with sticks. In this way, they can hold the puppets and make the puppets walk, run or dance as they want. Sometimes the puppets could be as lively as living things on the screen. In fact, most puppetry artists across China don’t get trained and don’t play shadow puppetry as a job. They just play it for fun and love. However, they are still experts (专家) in this field.

Here are three things you should know about them. ②When were chopsticks invented? Chinese people started to use chopsticks about 3, 000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty (朝代). During the pre-Qin period, chopsticks were called “Jia (梜)”, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, they were called “Zhu (箸)”. “Zhu” shares the same pronunciation with “stop” in Chinese. By the Ming Dynasty, people began to call them “Kuai”, meaning “fast” in Chinese. This is the origin (起源) of today’s name of Chinese chopsticks. ③Who invented chopsticks? There is no exact historical record about the question, but there are many folk stories about it. One is that Jiang Ziya created chopsticks after getting an idea from a mythical (神话中的) bird. It is also said that Yu the Great, who founded the Xia Dynasty, used sticks to pick up hot food, so chopsticks came into use. ④What should we pay attention to when using chopsticks? When eating with the elders, Chinese people usually let the elders take up chopsticks first. Playing with chopsticks is thought to be impolite.

She chose a variety of colored stones and lit a fire to melt them into slurry (泥浆). With this slurry, she filled the hole in the sky. Then she cut off the four feet of a turtle and used them as four pillars to support half of the sky. Nu Wa also caught and killed the black dragon that was harming the people. Finally, Nu Wa collected a large number of reeds (芦苇), burned them into ashes (灰), and then piled them up to block the flood. After Nu Wa’s hard work, the hole in the sky was finally fixed.

In ancient China, people’s names had three parts, their family name, given name and courtesy name. Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family name, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai. People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name. Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married. One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”. 1．What does the underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A．名 B．姓氏 C．字 D．昵称 2．Why did people call each other by their courtesy names in social life? A．To show their love. B．To show their good relationship. C．To show their kindness. D．To show their respect. 3．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The famous poet Li Bai. B．Three parts of ancient names. C．The ancient names and the modern names. D．The development of names. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了古代中国人的名字有三部分：姓、名和字。 1．词句猜测题。根据“His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.”可知李白的字为太白，所以courtesy意为“字”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect.”可知在社交生活中，他们互相称呼对方的“字”以表示尊敬。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了中国古代名字的三个部分。故选B。 24.（2025·重庆九龙坡·一模） What do you think of when you think about Tang Dynasty art? One feature (特点) about china, paintings and clothing from that time was that they used a lot of different colors. This was also true for women’s faces. The ladies back then were given much freedom to express their beauty. They used makeup (化妆品) with brighter colors than before. They put makeup mainly on their faces, forehead, eyebrows and cheeks to look more beautiful and graceful. “Women’s facial makeup in the Tang Dynasty was different from today. They put yellow powder on their foreheads. It was called the ‘yellow forehead,’” explains Sun Ji of the Museum of Chinese History. Just like the “yellow forehead”, the “green eyebrows” was also a makeup word. ▲ They dyed their eyebrows green to make themselves look nice. Later, the green color got darker and turned black. Besides the yellow forehead and green eyebrows, they also stuck a flower-like decoration between their eyebrows. The shapes were different. The simplest one was a round dot (小点). A fancier one could look like a pair of wings. Nowadays, most of us may not think the Tang Dynasty makeup is very beautiful. “Aesthetics change,” Sun says. “For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, women thought wide eyebrows were pretty. They also put two dots at the corners of their mouths. They were usually light in color.” One thing remains unchanged, though: People always like to look for beauty. And however “strange” the Tang style might seem today, it is part of the special charm of this great dynasty. 1．What was special about the art in the Tang Dynasty? A．It was mainly about women’s faces. B．It used a lot of different colors. C．It focused on clothing and paintings. D．It showed women’s freedom. 2．Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ? A．Makeup at that time was very expensive. B．Women loved colorful forehead very much. C．Women were very careful with their eyebrows. D．People at that time were good at making makeup. 3．What does the underlined word “Aesthetics” mean? A．Cost of makeup. B．Ideas of beauty. C．Colors of makeup. D．Popularity of art. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．The “yellow forehead” makeup is still quite popular now. B．Tang Dynasty art makes no difference to modern art at all. C．People in different times have different standards of beauty. D．People’s understanding of beauty has always stayed the same. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了唐朝艺术的特点，特别是唐朝女性在妆容方面的特色与自由。 1．细节理解题。根据“This was also true for women’s faces. The ladies back then were given much freedom to express their beauty. ”及“And however ‘strange’ the Tang style might seem today, it is part of the special charm of this great dynasty.”可知，唐朝艺术的特别之处是展示了女性的自由。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据前文“They put yellow powder on their foreheads. It was called the ‘yellow forehead’”和“the ‘green eyebrows’ was also a makeup word”以及后文“They dyed their eyebrows green to make themselves look nice”可知，唐朝时女子不仅注重额头的妆容，也很注重眉毛的妆容，她们会把眉毛染绿来让自己看起来更漂亮，因此“Women were very careful with their eyebrows”（女子们对她们的眉毛非常用心）可以放在此处。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“change”以及“For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, women thought wide eyebrows were pretty. They also put two dots at the corners of their mouths. They were usually light in color”可知，此处举例说明审美会改变，比如唐朝早期女子认为宽眉毛漂亮，还会在嘴角点两个小点，颜色通常很浅，所以画线词意思是“审美观念”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Aesthetics change,’ Sun says. ‘For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, women thought wide eyebrows were pretty. They also put two dots at the corners of their mouths. They were usually light in color’”（“审美观念会改变，”孙说。“例如，在唐朝早期，女子认为宽眉毛很漂亮。她们还会在嘴角点两个小点，颜色通常很浅”）可知，不同时代的人有不同的审美标准。故选C。 25.（2025·重庆江津·一模）①The drum has existed in Chinese culture for thousands of years and has a deep meaning which is more than a kind of musical instrument. ②The drum was mentioned in Chinese history in the Pottery Age (陶器时代). The Zhou Dynasty set up the drum music organization that was responsible for the management of officers known as “drum men” and developed a complete drum music system. From then on, drums came to be used in ancient Chinese practices. ③In ancient China, agriculture (农业) was the main form of production and drums were considered important for a good harvest. Since the sound of drums echoes that of thunder (雷), it was believed that playing drums could attract rain. So the instrument was used to ask for good weather and to “communicate” with them. ④Drums also played a part in the war. The drum’s sound could go very far while increasing fear in the heart of the enemies. So the drum was used as a military inspiration for a long time. ⑤In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the society was developing fast and drums were widely used. The national band, drama, folk art, song and dance, boat racing, lion dance, festival gathering and labor competition were all together with the beats of drums. The sound of drums means celebrations, filling hearts with joy. ⑥Different types of Chinese drums exist today. For example, “Taiping Drum” is used to express hope for peace and prosperity (繁荣) while “Ansai Waist Drum” is meant to show the spirit and the heroic character of farmers in Northwest China. ⑦In a word, drum culture reflects the development of Chinese society. For thousands of years, Chinese people have always been expecting peace and satisfaction. 1．When was the drum first mentioned according to the passage? A．In the Pottery Age. B．In the Zhou Dynasty. C．In the Tang Dynasty. D．In the Song Dynasty. 2．Why was the drum used in the war? A．Because it could make enemies go far. B．Because its sound was similar to thunder. C．Because its sound could make enemies afraid. D．Because it could be used to ask for good weather. 3．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 6? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By comparing difference. D．By explaining the result. 4．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The types of drum music. B．Old drums in modern society. C．Drums used in agriculture and wars. D．The history and importance of drums. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了鼓文化的历史及意义。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The drum was mentioned in Chinese history in the Pottery Age (陶器时代).”可知，中国第一次提到鼓是在陶器时代。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Drums also played a part in the war. The drum’s sound could go very far while increasing fear in the heart of the enemies.”可知，鼓声可以传得很远，同时增加敌人的恐惧之心，所以战争中会用到鼓。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第六段“For example, ‘Taiping Drum’ is used to express hope for peace and prosperity (繁荣) while ‘Ansai Waist Drum’ is meant to show the spirit and the heroic character of farmers in Northwest China.”可知，本段通过列举太平鼓和安塞腰鼓的不同寓意来说明中国鼓的不同种类。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了鼓文化的历史及意义。故选D。 26.（2025·辽宁沈阳·模拟预测）Today, we think weekends and takeouts are nothing special. However, have you wondered whether ancient people enjoyed them? No “weekends” Two-day weekends are time for us to rest. However, in ancient China, there were no “weekends” because people did not use a weekly calendar. But they could still relax after work. During the Han Dynasty, officials took one day off every five days. During the Tang Dynasty, officials worked for 10 days and rested for one day. During the Ming and the Qing Dynasties, people also took days off for the emperor’s birthday. People like farmers and businessmen usually worked most of the year. But they would take a few days off during the Spring Festival. Takeouts not a new thing Many people depend on takeouts to fill their stomach today. In fact, ancient people did the same thing! There was takeout as far back as the Song Dynasty. According to history books, Emperor Xiaozong liked to order takeout late at night. His men would go around the city to pick up dishes and bring them back to the palace. Ordinary (普通的) people also ordered takeout. Restaurant waiters would go out to the streets and shout out which dishes could be ordered that day. People would then place an order. Later, delivery (递送) workers would bring food to their homes. People at the time even had special meal boxes for takeout dishes. It was a long wooden box with several layers. 1．What do we know about rest days in ancient China from the text?

Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Change Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’ e l. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kua Fu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence (影响) it has on our modern science and technology. 1．In China, space scientists get ideas from ________ when naming satellites. ① old stories ②traditional projects ③ancient famous people ④popular inventions A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 2．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 4?

In the past, people embroidered on bed covers, tablecloths and dresses. Girls would embroider on sachets(香囊). The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou, such as double-faced embroidery(双面绣)—cat, Shu embroidery from Sichuan, such as magpie on plum and mandarin ducks playing on the water(《鸳鸯戏水》), Xiang embroidery from Hunan, such as lions and tigers, and Yue embroidery from Guang dong. Shu embroidery is the oldest of the four. People sold it to other countries through the South Silk Road. It is known for its smooth needlework and beautiful colors. Up till present today, Shu Embroidery has formed its own special style: smooth, bright, and neat. This art form is also deeply affected by the geographical environment, customs and cultures. The Sichuan Embroidery represents the creativity of the Sichuan people for its beautiful designs and great needlework. Embroidery takes time and patience. It might take as long as a whole day to finish just 10 cm of embroidery. By the 1970s, Sichuan had as many as 5,000 embroiderers. There is nothing set in stone. With time going by, embroidery industry is not similar to what was in the past. Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy hand-made Shu embroidery products. There are also very few young embroiderers, so the skill is in danger of dying out. To protect the skill, Shu embroidery was added to China’s intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录) in 2006. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Double-faced embroidery is from Sichuan.

This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples: If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity (繁荣). ________. In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels (标签) are often in red. In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful. In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals (葬礼) are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries, white is the color most people connect with death and funerals. Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.

The term instead refers to a network of routes used by traders for more than 1,500 years, which went from China to Eastern Europe. The Silk Road went along the northern borders of China, through India, and Persia and ended up in Eastern Europe near today’s Türkiye and the Mediterranean Sea. It was called the Silk Road because one of the major traded products was silk cloth from China. Besides silk, the Chinese also exported (出口) tea, salt, sugar, porcelain, and spices. Most of what was traded was expensive luxury goods. This was because it was a long trip and merchants (商人) didn’t have a lot of room for goods. They imported, or bought, goods like cotton, ivory, wool, gold, and silver. Merchants traveled in large caravans (车队). They would have many guards with them. Traveling in this way helped in defending from bandits (土匪). Camels were popular animals for transport because much of the route was through dry and harsh land. Although there had been some trade between China and the rest of the world for some time, the silk trade was significantly expanded (发展) by the Han Dynasty. Later, under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, set up by Kublai Khan of the Mongols, trade from China along the Silk Road would reach its peak. During this time the Mongols controlled a significant portion (部分) of the trade route, enabling Chinese merchants to travel safely. The Silk Road was important because it helped to generate trade between a number of different kingdoms and empires. This helped for ideas, culture, inventions, and unique products to spread across much of the settled world. The Silk Road was over 4,000 miles long. There wasn’t just one route, but many routes. Some were shorter, but more dangerous. Others took longer, but were safer. 1．Along the Silk Road, the Chinese traded these goods EXCEPT ________. A．salt, sugar and tea B．spices and porcelain C．oil, wood and paper D．cotton, ivory and wool 2．The underlined part “in this way” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

B．The importance of the Silk Road. C．The reason for being called the Silk Road. D．The interesting facts about the Silk Road. 4．Which of the following can best describe the Silk Road? A．A trade route between India and Europe. B．A number of trade routes going between China and Eastern Europe. C．A short road covered with silk between China and Türkiye. D．A paved highway used by the ancient Chinese emperors. 9.（2025·山东聊城·一模）China has a long history. So, there are a lot of cool places with amazing historical stories.

However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress (压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey (土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcome. In the UK, homes and offices usually have teatime. Tea and other dishes are served at teatime in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers (同事). Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day.

It is probably one of the most ancient arts using light and shadow. It is also a mix of many art forms, including painting, music, opera and story-telling. Shadow puppetry was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) List in 2011. More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wu of Han was very sad about the death of his wife. One day, one of his men happened to see some children playing with toys. The shadows of the toys were lively on the floor. Then he had an idea—he made a puppet (偶) of the emperor’s wife. As night fell, he invited the emperor to watch a puppet show. This is believed to be the start of shadow puppetry. In the Tang Dynasty, shadow puppetry was played by many people in many places around the country. Then in the Yuan Dynasty, it was introduced into West Asian and European countries along the Silk Road. The art form became the most popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was played in almost every province (省) and in many kinds of celebrations like weddings and birthday dinners. It is not an easy job to make the puppets. Their body parts are cut separately and then joined together so that they can move freely. During the show, puppetry artists connect the puppets’ most important joints (关节) with sticks. In this way, they can hold the puppets and make the puppets walk, run or dance as they want. Sometimes the puppets could be as lively as living things on the screen. In fact, most puppetry artists across China don’t get trained and don’t play shadow puppetry as a job. They just play it for fun and love. However, they are still experts (专家) in this field. In recent years, puppetry artists have explored ways to make this ancient art form as popular as it used to be and pass it on to the young, hoping more people can understand its importance and feel its beauty. They also get support from the Chinese government. Thanks to their hard work, Chinese shadow puppetry is becoming great again. 1．According to the passage, when was Chinese shadow puppetry added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List?

In ancient China, people’s names had three parts, their family name, given name and courtesy name. Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family name, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai. People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name. Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married. One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”.

One feature (特点) about china, paintings and clothing from that time was that they used a lot of different colors. This was also true for women’s faces. The ladies back then were given much freedom to express their beauty. They used makeup (化妆品) with brighter colors than before. They put makeup mainly on their faces, forehead, eyebrows and cheeks to look more beautiful and graceful. “Women’s facial makeup in the Tang Dynasty was different from today. They put yellow powder on their foreheads. It was called the ‘yellow forehead,’” explains Sun Ji of the Museum of Chinese History. Just like the “yellow forehead”, the “green eyebrows” was also a makeup word. ▲ They dyed their eyebrows green to make themselves look nice. Later, the green color got darker and turned black. Besides the yellow forehead and green eyebrows, they also stuck a flower-like decoration between their eyebrows. The shapes were different. The simplest one was a round dot (小点). A fancier one could look like a pair of wings. Nowadays, most of us may not think the Tang Dynasty makeup is very beautiful. “Aesthetics change,” Sun says. “For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, women thought wide eyebrows were pretty. They also put two dots at the corners of their mouths. They were usually light in color.” One thing remains unchanged, though: People always like to look for beauty. And however “strange” the Tang style might seem today, it is part of the special charm of this great dynasty. 1．What was special about the art in the Tang Dynasty?

The Zhou Dynasty set up the drum music organization that was responsible for the management of officers known as “drum men” and developed a complete drum music system. From then on, drums came to be used in ancient Chinese practices. ③In ancient China, agriculture (农业) was the main form of production and drums were considered important for a good harvest. Since the sound of drums echoes that of thunder (雷), it was believed that playing drums could attract rain. So the instrument was used to ask for good weather and to “communicate” with them. ④Drums also played a part in the war. The drum’s sound could go very far while increasing fear in the heart of the enemies. So the drum was used as a military inspiration for a long time. ⑤In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the society was developing fast and drums were widely used. The national band, drama, folk art, song and dance, boat racing, lion dance, festival gathering and labor competition were all together with the beats of drums. The sound of drums means celebrations, filling hearts with joy. ⑥Different types of Chinese drums exist today. For example, “Taiping Drum” is used to express hope for peace and prosperity (繁荣) while “Ansai Waist Drum” is meant to show the spirit and the heroic character of farmers in Northwest China. ⑦In a word, drum culture reflects the development of Chinese society.

Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Change Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’ e l. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kua Fu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence (影响) it has on our modern science and technology. 1．In China, space scientists get ideas from ________ when naming satellites. ① old stories ②traditional projects ③ancient famous people ④popular inventions A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 2．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 4?
