The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home. Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”. Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals. To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins. Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild. 1.Where were the 23 spotted seals put back into the sea? 2.What is the other name of the spotted seal? 3.With China’s protection, what has happened to the spotted seals in Chinese waters? 4.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)? 5.As a student, what can you do to protect wildlife? 【答案】1.Off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. 2.Panda of the sea. 3.The population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000. 4.The Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands. 5.We can join the local activities and raise money for groups to protect wildlife. 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国为保护濒危野生动物而做出的努力。 1.根据“A total of 23 spotted seals (斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province”可知共有23只斑海豹被放回中国东北辽宁省大连市沿海水域。故填Off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. 2.根据“They are often considered as the ‘panda of the sea’”可知它们被称为“海洋中的熊猫”。故填Panda of the sea. 3.根据“Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000”可知近年来，由于中国的国家一级保护，中国水域的斑海豹数量已达2000只左右。故填The population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000. 4.根据“the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992.

[真题12]（2022·江苏淮安·中考真题）Have you ever tasted a kind of snack, which is also of the traditional Chinese of forms of art—sugar painting. Sugar painting started from the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many people made a living through sugar painting, setting up stalls(货摊)in crowded streets, in front of theatres and busy public places. And now it can still be found in many areas of China. The sugar painters usually sit before a wooden table. On the side, there is a wooden plate with a revolvable arrow(可旋转箭头)on it. The plate is painted with different pictures such as a dragon, a bird, a flower and so on. After paying, the customers turn the arrow and wait till it stops. The picture pointed by the arrow is the one the painters will make. Sugar painting is very different from normal painting. The sugar painters use syrup(糖浆)as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth slab(台面)as the “paper”. To make the syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since the syrup may become solid(固体的)if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of the syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting of an animal, a flower or a bike is done. The number of sugar painters is getting smaller. However, some of them still insist on this art. They make their efforts to hold different activities such as offering classes and giving speeches. Now, sugar painting has already been listed as National Non-Material Culture Heritage. 根据上面短文的内容回答问题（每个答案不超过6个单词） 1.Did sugar painting become popular in the Ming Dynasty? 2.Where do the sugar painters usually sit? 3.When do the customers turn the arrow? 4.How do sugar painters make the syrup before painting? 5.Why do some of the sugar painters hold different activities? 【答案】1.No, it didn’t. 2.Before a wooden table. 3.After paying. 4.By making sugar hot. 5.To insist on this art. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了糖画的发展及制作。 1.根据“Sugar painting started from the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty.”可知，糖画在清朝变得流行，不是在明朝。故填No, it didn’t. 2.根据“The sugar painters usually sit before a wooden table.”可知，糖画师傅通常坐在一张木桌前。故填Before a wooden table. 3.根据“After paying, the customers turn the arrow and wait till it stops.”可知，付款后，顾客转动箭头。故填After paying. 4.根据“To make the syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting.”可知，糖画师傅通过让糖变热来制作糖浆。故填By making sugar hot. 5.根据“However, some of them still insist on this art.

He was crazy about baseball, especially the New York Giants. The only thing he remembers about attending his first major league baseball game is that he saw his hero Willie Mays after the game. The young Auster gathered his courage and went close to his hero. “Mr. Mays,” he said, “could I please have your autograph (签名)?” “Sure, kid, sure,” Mays replied kindly. “Have you got a pencil?” Auster didn’t have a pencil on him, neither did his father or his mother or anyone else in his group. Mays waited patiently, but when it became clear that no one present had anything to write with, he said, “Sorry, kid. We’ve got no pencil. I can’t give you my autograph.” From that day on, Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. “It’s not that I had any special plans for that pencil,” Auster writes, “but I didn’t want to be unprepared. I had been caught empty-handed once, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. The years have taught me this: If there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel like starting to use it. That’s how I became a writer.” What is your pencil?

A composer thinks of a musical idea and writes it on paper for others to read. Instead of writing words, a composer uses musical notation (记号). Other people can read the notes and play them. When they do, they’re playing music that came from the composer’s imagination. Beethoven was a famous German composer. He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four. He also learned to play the violin. Beethoven visited Vienna, which was a very musical city, in 1787. Two other famous composers lived in Vienna at that time. Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn met Beethoven and gave his music high praise. Beethoven made friends in Vienna and returned there in 1792. He studied music with Haydn and lived in Vienna for the rest of his life. Beethoven was known as a great pianist, but he wanted to compose his own music. He always seemed to have musical ideas in his head. His notebooks show how hard he worked to get the music just right. He often wrote and then revised his music by scratching it out (勾划), so it is possible for us to see how he was thinking about the music. During the late 1790s, Beethoven began to lose his hearing. At first it was difficult for him to hear people and talk with them. Even when he became completely deaf, he did not stop creating music, however. He heard music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears. Most people have heard of Beethoven’s Symphony (交响乐) No. 5, but they may not know he wrote it when he was growing deaf. A symphony is a long piece of music for orchestra (交响乐团). Symphony No. 5 starts like this: ta-ta-ta-TUM. Beethoven used this pattern over and over in his symphony. Try saying it aloud two times: ta-ta-ta-TUM, ta-ta-ta-TUM. 1. When did Beethoven start learning music? 2. Which city influenced Beethoven most in his musical career? 3. What is Beethoven known as? 4. During the late 1790s, what difficulty did Beethoven face? 5. Why did Beethoven make greater achievements after losing his hearing? 【答案】1. When he was only four. 2. Vienna. 3. A great pianist. 4. He began to lose hearing. 5. Because he had a strong will./Because he didn’t stop creating music. 【导语】本文讲了德国作曲家贝多芬的生平及其音乐成就，特别强调了他在失聪后仍继续创作音乐的坚韧精神。 1. 根据第二段“He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four.”可知，贝多芬四岁时开始学音乐。故填When he was only four. 2. 根据第二段“He visited Vienna, which was a very musical city, in 1787.”可知，维也纳对贝多芬的音乐生涯影响最大。故填Vienna. 3. 根据第三段“Beethoven was known as a great pianist”可知，贝多芬是著名的钢琴家。故填A great pianist. 4. 根据第四段“Beethoven began to lose his hearing”可知，贝多芬在1790年代末开始失聪。故填He began to lose his hearing. 5. 根据第四段“He heard music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears.”可以推断贝多芬即使失聪仍继续创作音乐，是因为他有强大的意志力和不停止创作的决心。故填Because he had a strong will./Because he didn’t stop creating music. [调研08]（2025·江苏无锡·一模）What’s the first thing that comes into your mind when you think of wheat straw (稻草)? Most people would probably see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor (非遗传承人), can turn the straw into beautiful artworks. The earliest straw-weaving (编织) works were found at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site in Zhejiang Province. This discovery means a lot to Chinese traditional culture. The Book of Rites also records that there were already mats (垫子) made of grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen (工匠) during the Zhou dynasty. Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. Wu explains the process of straw weaving: choosing from materials is the first step of a process that may take several weeks, or even months to complete. You need to draw the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving (保存) of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike. In the past, straw items could be found almost in every family in the countryside, in the form of straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But with the development of industry, many of these products are made in factories. This makes people gain little money, and there are only about 100 people joining in the work across the country. Wu says to a news reporter that more craftsmen should work together to make a difference to the spread of the traditional culture. 1. Who is an intangible cultural inheritor in the article? 2. When was straw weaving listed as a national intangible cultural heritage? 3. What comes next after drawing the piece on paper? 4. Why do people make little money? 5. What can teenagers do to spread the traditional culture? 【答案】1. Wu Cui. 2. In 2008. 3. Weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. 4. Because many products are made in factories. 5. Teenagers can learn more about traditional cultures. 【导语】本文介绍了稻草编织这一非物质文化遗产的历史、制作过程及其现状，并强调了传承和推广传统文化的重要性。 1. 根据“However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor (非遗传承人), can turn the straw into beautiful artworks.”可知，吴翠是非遗传承人。故填Wu Cui. 2. 根据“Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks.

[调研10]（2025·江苏无锡·一模）阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you know that tennis is one of the most wasteful sports on the planet? Tennis balls are difficult to recycle, and millions of balls end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). Once there, it can take as long as 400 years for the balls to decompose (分解). The International Tennis Federation (ITF) serves as the governing body of professional tennis games. Last year, the ITF brought together ball makers, tennis officials, and recycling companies to solve the tennis ball waste problem. They are trying to find answers to the following questions. Can a recyclable ball be developed? Can the ITF change rules so balls can be used longer in professional tennis games? … Nowadays, professional players need a new set of balls after every nine games. This practice results in great waste. Jamie Capel-Davies, the head of science and tech at the ITF, says that there are four levels in the effort to reduce (减少) waste. “Firstly, we try to reduce the number of balls being used. Secondly, we should use balls as many times as possible. Recycling is our third choice,” he explains. “The last level is to place the balls in landfills.” However, it is not easy to make changes. Luckily, many recyclers have already taken steps to reuse tennis balls. One company collects used tennis balls and turns them into pet toys, while another company reuses tennis balls for a kind of flooring material. (前四题每小题答案不超过8个单词，最后一题字数不限) 1.

After nearly four hundred years, these sculptures are still intact (完好的) and look brand new. It is known as the “Museum of Hanging Sculpture Art in China”. Its unique artistic value and connection with the popular game have made the Xiaoxitian scenic area attract a large number of tourists.

[调研14]（2025·江苏盐城·一模）阅读并回答问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 Reading books brings with it numerous benefits giving people the chance to explore new worlds and meet new people both real and imagined. It expands our knowledge and understanding of the world around us and those far away. To celebrate the wonderment of books and those that make them come to life, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) established 23 April as World Book and Copyright Day in 1995. However, it got its start long before that in Spain. Setting a day to celebrate books traces its beginnings to Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andrés. In 1922, he came up with the idea as a way to honor fellow countryman author Miguel de Cervantes. Four years later, the first celebration took place on 7 October, Cervantes’ birthday, but was moved to 23 April, the date of his death, in 1930. In 1995, the UNESCO General Conference decided to pay respect to authors and books world-wide as a way of encouraging everyone to access books. Choosing 23 April seemed a reasonable choice, besides being the date of Cervante’s death, it also happens to be the date William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega died, among other prominent authors. Moreover, several distinguished authors were born on 23 April making it a symbolic date in the world literature. Annually since 2001, one city around the world is chosen to be the UNESCO World Book Capital for a year.

Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013. Interestingly, Zhou’s new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students’ Rope Skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record.

For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competítion. It’s light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid (无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized (认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it. Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training stood him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength. Now a high school student, Zhou said he’ll put his studies first.

The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home. Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”. Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals. To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins. Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild. 1.Where were the 23 spotted seals put back into the sea? 2.What is the other name of the spotted seal? 3.With China’s protection, what has happened to the spotted seals in Chinese waters? 4.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)? 5.As a student, what can you do to protect wildlife?

And the doctors told us there was no useful way of treatment,” Xing’s father said. When relatives and friends heard the news, they advised the couple to have another baby.

Carefully the three children lit the fire and filled a kettle (水壶) with water. They hung the kettle above the fire. “Mother isn’t awake yet. Let’s go outside and sit on that flat stone,” said Roberta. “Perhaps we will see a train go by.” When Mother came out at eight o’clock, Roberta, Peter and Phyllis were all fast asleep in the sunshine. They had put the kettle on the fire at five o’clock: three hours ago. All the water had boiled away (烧干). Now there was a hole in the bottom of the kettle. The fire had gone out. “Never mind,” laughed Mother. “We can boil some water in a pan. And I’ve found the dinner.” She led them into the kitchen and pointed to a door. “Last night, I thought this was a cupboard. It was so dark. But look,” she said. Mother opened the door and the children saw a little room with a table in the middle. On it there was roast beef, bread and butter, cheese and an apple pie. “Apple pie for breakfast,” cried Peter. “What fun!” It was a wonderful breakfast. Everyone was very hungry. “It feels like dinner because we were up so early,” said Peter, as he passed his plate for more apple pie.

[真题12]（2022·江苏淮安·中考真题）Have you ever tasted a kind of snack, which is also of the traditional Chinese of forms of art—sugar painting. Sugar painting started from the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many people made a living through sugar painting, setting up stalls(货摊)in crowded streets, in front of theatres and busy public places. And now it can still be found in many areas of China. The sugar painters usually sit before a wooden table. On the side, there is a wooden plate with a revolvable arrow(可旋转箭头)on it. The plate is painted with different pictures such as a dragon, a bird, a flower and so on. After paying, the customers turn the arrow and wait till it stops. The picture pointed by the arrow is the one the painters will make. Sugar painting is very different from normal painting. The sugar painters use syrup(糖浆)as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth slab(台面)as the “paper”. To make the syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since the syrup may become solid(固体的)if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of the syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting of an animal, a flower or a bike is done. The number of sugar painters is getting smaller. However, some of them still insist on this art. They make their efforts to hold different activities such as offering classes and giving speeches. Now, sugar painting has already been listed as National Non-Material Culture Heritage. 根据上面短文的内容回答问题（每个答案不超过6个单词） 1.Did sugar painting become popular in the Ming Dynasty? 2.Where do the sugar painters usually sit? 3.When do the customers turn the arrow? 4.How do sugar painters make the syrup before painting? 5.Why do some of the sugar painters hold different activities?

But are you aware of the history that goes behind some of these popular hand gestures? Probably not. Unsurprisingly, each of them has its special history. Handshake   Whether you’re greeting someone for the first time, or successfully reaching an agreement, shaking hands is usually the go-to gesture. Who decided on this gesture, anyway? The handshake dates back to ancient Greece where it was used as a way to show peace. High Five    Whether you entered the final competition or won a debate（辩论）, you were probably given or received a high five before. According to some sources, the high five first became popular when baseball players performed at Dodger Stadium on October 2, 1977. Glenn Burke, one of the players, lifted his arm high above his head and slapped palms with his teammate Dusty Baker to celebrate a victory, marking what is widely considered as the first record of a high five. The Fist Bump    The fist bump comes from boxers（拳击手）in the 1970s after people copied how they touched gloves before a competition. Later, instead of shaking hands, fist bumps became popular among basketball players. The gesture soon spread to all basketball lovers. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1.What was handshake used as in ancient Greece? 2.What kind of sport does the high five gesture come from? 3.Why do people have a high five with others? 4.Which gesture do basketball players usually prefer? 5.What is the passage mainly about?

He was crazy about baseball, especially the New York Giants. The only thing he remembers about attending his first major league baseball game is that he saw his hero Willie Mays after the game. The young Auster gathered his courage and went close to his hero. “Mr. Mays,” he said, “could I please have your autograph (签名)?” “Sure, kid, sure,” Mays replied kindly. “Have you got a pencil?” Auster didn’t have a pencil on him, neither did his father or his mother or anyone else in his group. Mays waited patiently, but when it became clear that no one present had anything to write with, he said, “Sorry, kid. We’ve got no pencil. I can’t give you my autograph.” From that day on, Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. “It’s not that I had any special plans for that pencil,” Auster writes, “but I didn’t want to be unprepared. I had been caught empty-handed once, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. The years have taught me this: If there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel like starting to use it. That’s how I became a writer.” What is your pencil? What is so important that without it you feel unprepared? I know some cartoonists always carry pen and paper and some photographers always have a camera in their pockets. They are always prepared. Pick your “pencil” and don’t leave home without it. 1.To get Willie Mays’ autograph, what did Auster need? 2.What habit did Auster form after that day? 3.What do you think of Auster’s habit?

In the play Shakespeare not only speaks highly of love and friendship, but also mirrors the social background of that time. Antonio had a friend named Bassanio who spent money without limitation. As a result, he ran out of his wealth soon. Bassanio fell in love with Portia, but he was required to pay a large amount of money. So he went to Antonio for help. Antonio is a wealthy merchant but he didn’t have so much cash. Antonio went to Shylock, a moneylender, for help. Having been scolded (责备) by Antonio for being cruel and greedy, Shylock hated him. However, he agreed to lend him the money only if Antonio would allow him to take a pound of his flesh when he could not repay him within three months. At last Antonio agreed to the contract. But unluckily, Antonio lost all his ships at sea. He was not able to pay back to Shylock, and the Jew went to court of Venice to carry out his deal. To save Antonio’s life, Portia dressed up as a famous lawyer. According to the contract, she agreed to Shylock’s request, but insisted a pound of meat must be cut by just a pound of flesh, no more and no less. At the same time, he was not allowed to let any of Antonio’s blood drop. The wise judge announced that according to the law if anyone tried to kill a citizen of Venice, everything he owned should be taken away. Shylock would rather die if all his money and goods were taken away. Finally, Antonio gave up his part of Shylock’s money on condition that Shylock should leave the money to his own daughter upon his death.

Instead of writing words, a composer uses musical notation (记号). Other people can read the notes and play them. When they do, they’re playing music that came from the composer’s imagination. Beethoven was a famous German composer. He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four. He also learned to play the violin. Beethoven visited Vienna, which was a very musical city, in 1787. Two other famous composers lived in Vienna at that time. Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn met Beethoven and gave his music high praise. Beethoven made friends in Vienna and returned there in 1792. He studied music with Haydn and lived in Vienna for the rest of his life. Beethoven was known as a great pianist, but he wanted to compose his own music. He always seemed to have musical ideas in his head. His notebooks show how hard he worked to get the music just right. He often wrote and then revised his music by scratching it out (勾划), so it is possible for us to see how he was thinking about the music. During the late 1790s, Beethoven began to lose his hearing. At first it was difficult for him to hear people and talk with them. Even when he became completely deaf, he did not stop creating music, however. He heard music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears. Most people have heard of Beethoven’s Symphony (交响乐) No. 5, but they may not know he wrote it when he was growing deaf. A symphony is a long piece of music for orchestra (交响乐团). Symphony No. 5 starts like this: ta-ta-ta-TUM. Beethoven used this pattern over and over in his symphony. Try saying it aloud two times: ta-ta-ta-TUM, ta-ta-ta-TUM. 1. When did Beethoven start learning music? 2. Which city influenced Beethoven most in his musical career? 3. What is Beethoven known as? 4. During the late 1790s, what difficulty did Beethoven face? 5. Why did Beethoven make greater achievements after losing his hearing?

However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor (非遗传承人), can turn the straw into beautiful artworks. The earliest straw-weaving (编织) works were found at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site in Zhejiang Province. This discovery means a lot to Chinese traditional culture. The Book of Rites also records that there were already mats (垫子) made of grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen (工匠) during the Zhou dynasty. Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. Wu explains the process of straw weaving: choosing from materials is the first step of a process that may take several weeks, or even months to complete. You need to draw the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving (保存) of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike. In the past, straw items could be found almost in every family in the countryside, in the form of straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But with the development of industry, many of these products are made in factories. This makes people gain little money, and there are only about 100 people joining in the work across the country. Wu says to a news reporter that more craftsmen should work together to make a difference to the spread of the traditional culture. 1. Who is an intangible cultural inheritor in the article? 2. When was straw weaving listed as a national intangible cultural heritage? 3. What comes next after drawing the piece on paper? 4. Why do people make little money? 5. What can teenagers do to spread the traditional culture?

Shenzhen is the first city in the country to require schools to organize daily PE for students at the compulsory education (义务教育) level. Buxin Primary School in Luohu District started using a “3+1+1” model, which includes three regular PE classes, one music-based exercise class, and one sports game class to make sure of five PE classes per week. Because there aren’t enough PE teachers to teach all the new classes, the school had to ask teachers from other subject areas to lead many of the PE classes. Liu Xunhua, a Chinese-language teacher at the school, has taken on the role of a part-time PE teacher. Liu leads students in activities such as jump rope and jumping jacks (开合跳). “Everything is for the health of the students, and we support the new measure.” said Liu. Like other nonprofessional (非专业的) PE teachers, Liu took PE training classes and found chances to learn from professional PE teachers. Chen Xinru, a grade 8 student from Xin’an Middle School, said that a daily PE class has many advantages and helps her a lot. “When I am tired, I can relax by running or playing basketball and I can become more focused in class,” said Chen. Luo Xing, a PE teacher from the same school, said that the daily PE class makes a big difference to students’ physical and mental health. 每题答案不超过10个单词。 1.

Tennis balls are difficult to recycle, and millions of balls end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). Once there, it can take as long as 400 years for the balls to decompose (分解). The International Tennis Federation (ITF) serves as the governing body of professional tennis games. Last year, the ITF brought together ball makers, tennis officials, and recycling companies to solve the tennis ball waste problem. They are trying to find answers to the following questions. Can a recyclable ball be developed? Can the ITF change rules so balls can be used longer in professional tennis games? … Nowadays, professional players need a new set of balls after every nine games. This practice results in great waste. Jamie Capel-Davies, the head of science and tech at the ITF, says that there are four levels in the effort to reduce (减少) waste. “Firstly, we try to reduce the number of balls being used. Secondly, we should use balls as many times as possible. Recycling is our third choice,” he explains. “The last level is to place the balls in landfills.” However, it is not easy to make changes. Luckily, many recyclers have already taken steps to reuse tennis balls. One company collects used tennis balls and turns them into pet toys, while another company reuses tennis balls for a kind of flooring material. (前四题每小题答案不超过8个单词，最后一题字数不限) 1.

The famous scene “Seeing the future, why not worship?” in the game is set here. In this scenic area, there are many extremely beautiful painted sculptures in the Mahavira Hall. These may have inspired the game’s scene design. Recently, a new kind of mythology (神话) has been gaining popularity among young people, especially those who love video games and animation.

The story of Wukong takes place in a magical world full of strange creatures and exciting adventures. It combines traditional Chinese culture with modern elements. Many young people find this world fascinating and enjoy exploring it through video games, animations, and even comic books. The Xiaoxitian scenic area is not very large. The core scenic spot, the Mahavira Hall, is only 169.6 square meters.

It expands our knowledge and understanding of the world around us and those far away. To celebrate the wonderment of books and those that make them come to life, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) established 23 April as World Book and Copyright Day in 1995. However, it got its start long before that in Spain. Setting a day to celebrate books traces its beginnings to Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andrés. In 1922, he came up with the idea as a way to honor fellow countryman author Miguel de Cervantes. Four years later, the first celebration took place on 7 October, Cervantes’ birthday, but was moved to 23 April, the date of his death, in 1930. In 1995, the UNESCO General Conference decided to pay respect to authors and books world-wide as a way of encouraging everyone to access books. Choosing 23 April seemed a reasonable choice, besides being the date of Cervante’s death, it also happens to be the date William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega died, among other prominent authors. Moreover, several distinguished authors were born on 23 April making it a symbolic date in the world literature. Annually since 2001, one city around the world is chosen to be the UNESCO World Book Capital for a year. The chosen city is tasked with carrying out activities to encourage “a culture of reading and spreading its values in all ages and population groups in and out of the national borders.” 1.

When we arrived, he invited me to meet his family. As we walked towards the front door, he stopped at a small tree and touched the tree with his hands. When we opened the door, I was very surprised to see that the worker wore a big smile. It seemed that he changed into another person. He hugged his son and gave his wife a kiss. After a while, when he walked to the car, I asked him why he had touched the tree. “Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he answered. “Sometimes I have trouble with my job, but one thing is for sure—it doesn’t belong to my wife or my son. So I just hang up the trouble on the tree every night when I come home. Then the next morning I pick it up. However, when I pick it up, I hardly remember what I put the night before.” That’s true.

The sea ice loss and the Arctic ice melting (融化) caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals. According to the data from WMO, temperatures on the Antarctica (南极洲) just hit 18.3℃, which is higher than the record of 17.59℃ in March, 2015. Moreover, temperatures in this area have warmed about 3℃ over the last 50 years. Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip, this is the Antarctica we are talking about. It is home to the most inhospitable (不适宜居住的) environment on the planet because it is supposed to be an extremely cold place. In fact, the average temperature of the continent’s central area is -57℃. Besides, many places are experiencing the extreme weather. Australia is undergoing its worst drought (干旱) since the 1930s, leaving bush fires burning so long and causing many deaths. Meanwhile in Europe, crops in the northwest are suffering the driest weather in the past 80 years. Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years, while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China. “Climate change is bad for us human beings, which causes direct health problems. I’m afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there,” Professor Schwartz said. “It will also cause more air pollution, diseases and lack of clean water and so on.” 1.
