It is the sixth animal in the cycle. 2025 is the Year of the Snake. You might think snakes often make people afraid. But in some areas, during the Year of the Snake, people draw snake pictures and post them at home to drive evil spirits away and invite good luck. In other places, temple fair activities related to snakes are held, with people performing snake dances. These customs and traditions show the unique position of snakes in Chinese culture. Also, those born in the Year of the Snake are believed to be wise and quick-thinking. Starting from the Shang Dynasty (16th century BC-11th century BC), people believed the universe had three parts, with gods in heaven, humans on Earth, and the underworld being the place of the dead. When people saw snakes digging into the underground, they believed that these animals could connect humans, the dead and the gods. Images (形象) of humans with snake bodies were then created, showing the ability to cross between life and death. Because of their ability to shed skin (蜕皮), snakes were also connected with a special meaning. “In ancient people’s eyes, the snakes seemed to have died, but then they shed their skin and came back to life. This showed the idea of revival after death,” said Han Ding, an associate professor at Henan University. Living on Earth for more than 100 million years, the snake has never been away from Chinese people’s culture and life. “They are served as connection between humans and gods, and finally became a zodiac symbol for the common folk,” said Wang Fang from the Jinsha Site Museum in Chengdu. 29. How did people in Shang Dynasty show the ability to cross life and death? A. They chose snakes as the ruler of the universe at that time. B. They made something with a human’s head and snake’s body. C. They collected spirits of heaven, humans and underground beings. D. They asked snakes to make a bridge between the earth and the underground. 30. What does the underlined word “revival” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Being alive again after death. B. Being thankful to the god and humans. C. Having the ability to shed skin. D. Disappearing from the earth from then on. 31. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. Snakes are able to drive evil spirits away and bring good luck. B. Only people in Shang Dynasty believed snakes’ super ability. C. Snakes have been an important part of Chinese culture for a long time. D. People born in the Year of the Snake are surely quick-thinking and wise. 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了蛇在中国文化中的特殊地位及其象征意义，包括生肖文化、古代信仰以及蛇蜕皮所代表的复活象征等。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Starting from the Shang Dynasty”和“Images (形象) of humans with snake bodies were then created, showing the ability to cross between life and death.”可知，商朝人通过制作人首蛇身的形象来表现这种能力。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“the snakes seemed to have died, but then they shed their skin and came back to life.”可知，古人认为蛇看似死亡，但蜕皮后重获新生。这显示了死后复活的观念。“revival”指“复活”，与选项A意思相近。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Living on Earth for more than 100 million years, the snake has never been away from Chinese people’s culture and life.”可知，蛇在地球上生存了超过一亿年，从未远离中国人的文化和生活。这表明蛇长期以来一直是中国文化的重要组成部分。故选C。 C Charlie entered the shop and laid fifty pence (便士) on the counter (柜台). “One Wonka’s chocolate,” he said.

Were you looking at your cellphone screens and surfing the Internet from morning till night? Well, you’re not alone. It seems that many people are now online nearly all the time. According to a new survey, on average, Chinese people spend five and a half hours on the Internet every day. Let’s be honest. What do you usually use the Internet for? For many people (not just Chinese people), it’s mainly to watch short videos and to check out new memes (表情包). Instead of helping you relax, these low-value videos and memes make it difficult for you to think. The Oxford Word of the Year, “brain rot (脑腐)”, best describes this global problem. Why does the problem take place? Watching these types of short videos and memes without a stop is just like eating your favorite snack. Once you start, it’s hard to stop. It’s also an easy way to kill time. It takes you a couple of hours to enjoy yourselves in different websites and apps. You can’t realize it until it is too late. It seems that you can have fun easily. But this “easy fun” has its bad effects on people. The more time you spend on the Internet, the less real-life joy you will have. While you are having a “good” time on Xiaohongshu and Bilibili, you are missing the beauty and happiness of the real world. Over time, you feel like your lives are getting more and more boring. It’s time to bring back “real fun.” Your friends or family and you should try to breathe in the fresh air and relax in the warm sunlight. I’m sure that you can enjoy the beauty of nature successfully. Fill your day with pleasant birdsong. Just don’t let your screens take over your free time and leave your brain “rotting”! Don’t let your brain “rot” What the problem is ●“Brain rot” is The Oxford Word of the Year.

It is the sixth animal in the cycle. 2025 is the Year of the Snake. You might think snakes often make people afraid. But in some areas, during the Year of the Snake, people draw snake pictures and post them at home to drive evil spirits away and invite good luck. In other places, temple fair activities related to snakes are held, with people performing snake dances. These customs and traditions show the unique position of snakes in Chinese culture. Also, those born in the Year of the Snake are believed to be wise and quick-thinking. Starting from the Shang Dynasty (16th century BC-11th century BC), people believed the universe had three parts, with gods in heaven, humans on Earth, and the underworld being the place of the dead. When people saw snakes digging into the underground, they believed that these animals could connect humans, the dead and the gods. Images (形象) of humans with snake bodies were then created, showing the ability to cross between life and death. Because of their ability to shed skin (蜕皮), snakes were also connected with a special meaning. “In ancient people’s eyes, the snakes seemed to have died, but then they shed their skin and came back to life. This showed the idea of revival after death,” said Han Ding, an associate professor at Henan University. Living on Earth for more than 100 million years, the snake has never been away from Chinese people’s culture and life. “They are served as connection between humans and gods, and finally became a zodiac symbol for the common folk,” said Wang Fang from the Jinsha Site Museum in Chengdu. 29.

Were you looking at your cellphone screens and surfing the Internet from morning till night? Well, you’re not alone. It seems that many people are now online nearly all the time. According to a new survey, on average, Chinese people spend five and a half hours on the Internet every day. Let’s be honest. What do you usually use the Internet for? For many people (not just Chinese people), it’s mainly to watch short videos and to check out new memes (表情包). Instead of helping you relax, these low-value videos and memes make it difficult for you to think. The Oxford Word of the Year, “brain rot (脑腐)”, best describes this global problem. Why does the problem take place? Watching these types of short videos and memes without a stop is just like eating your favorite snack. Once you start, it’s hard to stop. It’s also an easy way to kill time. It takes you a couple of hours to enjoy yourselves in different websites and apps. You can’t realize it until it is too late. It seems that you can have fun easily. But this “easy fun” has its bad effects on people. The more time you spend on the Internet, the less real-life joy you will have. While you are having a “good” time on Xiaohongshu and Bilibili, you are missing the beauty and happiness of the real world. Over time, you feel like your lives are getting more and more boring. It’s time to bring back “real fun.” Your friends or family and you should try to breathe in the fresh air and relax in the warm sunlight. I’m sure that you can enjoy the beauty of nature successfully. Fill your day with pleasant birdsong. Just don’t let your screens take over your free time and leave your brain “rotting”!
