Here are some introductions about the Chinese traditional skills. You will not only enjoy beautiful work of art, but also learn something interesting. Chinese lantern, you will know it is a symbol, of China. The warm light provided by a Chinese lantern will make you understand why they’re so popular and well known. Chinese lantern was invented in Western Han Dynasty (202B.C.—8A.D.) (公元前202年—公元8年), which is more than 1,800 years ago. Every fifteenth day of first Chinese lunar month on Chinese Lantern Festival, people will hang red lantern, which means gathering of family. Chinese paper cutting is one of the oldest handicrafts in China, and it’s a hollow-out (挖空) art. Paper cutting appeared during the Northern Dynasty (A.D.386—A.D.581). It has a history of more than 1,500 years Paper was not created at that time, so people did this hollow-out art in cloth leather, gold foil and other materials. The content varies from the animals and plants to the vividly daily life scenes. Some are cut into many creatures in the world on one sheet with great imagination. Kite is a symbol of the Chinese handicraft. It is from the Warring States Period(475B. C.—221 B. C.). Lu Ban was said to be the inventor. Flying a kite is a very popular activity in all generations in China. It is easy to find the scene that when in the holidays, there are large numbers of people gathering to the squares and holding lines to control beautiful kites in the blue sky. Tianjin Clay Figurines Zhang is a school of clay figurine in Northern China, which was set up by Zhang Mingshan in the late Qing Dynasty. It’s a kind of painted figure made of clay. As a traditional Chinese art, the Clay figurine Zhang even received praises from the world. There is a museum about clay figurine Zhang in Tianjin. More than 300 sets of clay figurines are collected in the museum. It attracts many people who have interest in clay figurine to visit. 26. Which of the following material CAN NOT make hollow-out art? A. Paper. B. Water. C. Leather. D. Cloth. 27. Which skill has the longest history? A. Paper cutting. B. Lantern. C. Kite. D. Clay figurines. 28. Which of the following statement is True? A. Chinese lantern was invented in Eastern Han Dynasty. B. Chinese paper cutting has a history of less than 1,500 years. C. Kite was surely invented by Lu Ban in Northern Dynasty. D. Clay Figurine Zhang was set up in the late Qing Dynasty. B China and Western countries have some differences in their cultures regarding certain animals. However, when it comes to pigs, there seems to be a common stereotype: pigs are generally described as ugly (丑陋的), lazy, and stupid. Just look at some Chinese sayings, such as “Boiling a dead pig” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig.” In English, there are similar sayings like “Eating like a pig” and “Pigs might fly.” None of these sayings are complimentary. However, scientists have discovered something surprising! Pigs actually possess some wonderful qualities (品质) that are often overlooked. They can solve simple problems and even learn tricks, showing that they are as smart as dogs and elephants. Their good memories enable them to recognize familiar faces and remember places for years. Interestingly, pigs can sense emotions—they can tell whether people treat them well or not. A UK cartoon, Peppa Pig, is extremely popular. The four members of the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship, and the value of family. Similarly, a Chinese cartoon film, The Adventures of McDull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, McDull, the little pig who isn’t the smartest or fastest, has a heart of gold and always works hard for his dreams. While most people seek quick success, McDull is slow and patient enough to chase his dreams, and he is not afraid of failing again and again. Maybe next time we talk about pigs, we should think of their good qualities—brave, kind, and persevering. 29. China and Western countries have ________ in cultures according to the passage. A. the same idea on pigs B. different ideas on pigs C. the same idea on all the animals D. something different in cultures about certain festivals 30. What does the underlined word “complimentary” mean in Chinese? A. 负面的 B. 赞美的 C. 固执的 D. 欢喜的 31. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Pigs have bad memories. B. Pigs are very kind to people. C. Pigs don’t know who treats them well. D. Pigs are as clever as dogs and elephants. 32. The writer gives the two examples of cartoons in the passage to show ________. A. pigs are slow and patient B. children like pigs very much C. pigs have some good qualities D. the two cartoons are well-known C Elle Gianelli, a teenager from California, USA, has a special connection with her grandmother. That has inspired her to put smiles on the faces of other old people. She brings joy and warmth to them through her socks project. Several years ago, Elle went to a local nursing home with her eighth-grade class. She really enjoyed her time there and felt connected to the old people there. She and her mom started talking about how they might bring a little joy to the old people’s lives. Since Elle was crazy about socks, they came up with the idea to start Socks4Seniors. The idea is simple. Elle wants to provide a pair of colorful socks for each of the old people in the nursing home. She hopes to let them know they’re not alone and someone is thinking about them. Now Elle delivers (递送) socks to some nursing homes every month. During the summer break and other school breaks, she can deliver more. Elle also invites her family, friends and volleyball teammates to join her in delivering socks. “We are lucky to have family and friends in our lives,” said Elle, “but many of the old people don’t have visitors, family or people that love and care about them. A simple action can really change someone’s life or certainly brighten up their day.” Since the beginning, Elle has provided more than 4,000 pairs of socks for the old people. Her goal is to keep things going and provide socks for old people in all the states of the USA. 33. What has inspired Elle to bring joy and warmth to the old people? A. Her interest in volunteer work. B. Her craziness about different kinds of socks. C. Her special connection with her grandmother. D. Her working experience at a local hospital. 34. Why does Elle start Socks4Seniors according to the second paragraph? A. Because the old people need new socks. B. Because that’s her job to make the old people happy. C. In order to make money through her socks project. D. To tell the old people that they’re not alone and someone is thinking about them. 35. Who helps Elle deliver socks? ①Her family ②Her friends ③Her teachers ④Her volleyball teammates A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 36. What could be the best title for the passage? A. A girl brings warmth to the elderly. B. A girl who is crazy about socks. C. A girl changed many young people’s lives. D. A girl who loves her grandmother very much. D With a love for traditional culture, many young Chinese have begun to be creative to use elements (元素) from China’s intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Paper cutting, the traditional Chinese art of paper design, has been used in many creative arts, including food and clothing. On the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, a video of cookies featuring a paper-cut styled dragon pattern received over 2.6 million views and 130,000 likes. Liu Shan, a stay-at-home mother who loves Chinese paper cutting, made the cookies. Liu came up with the idea of making paper-cut styled Chinese zodiac-shaped (十二生肖) cookies in 2022. The video of her rabbit cookies soon became popular, and received lots of attention. People hoped to see more other patterns. She promised to try more complicated dragon patterns this year. Liu started designing her dragon pattern in November, 2023 and spent five days making the cookies before the Spring Festival. Young woman Chen Lingling created a cloak (斗篷) featuring Chinese paper-cut patterns. Chen has made many different clothing and headwear, with the aim of making cultural heritage part of young people’s daily lives. She chose auspicious (吉祥的) patterns such as golden fish to express her Spring Festival greetings. Her video featuring the cloak has received around 750,000 views and got her fans from both China and abroad. According to a report by Xiaohongshu, users of the platform uploaded nearly one million posts with the hashtag (标签) “reinvention” between February 9, the Chinese New Year’s Eye, and February 16 last year. Analysts say these reinventions show young people’s creativity and zest (热情) for life, and the use of elements of intangible cultural heritage reflects their growing cultural confidence. 37.
