The only difference is that they turn their fields into canvases (画布) and paint with rice crops. Now let’s enter the wonderful world of rice field art! Rice field art is working the land into art. It’s like a huge picture spread across the land. Different kinds of rice plants are used as colors for the picture. From a distance, these fields come alive with images (图像) of animals, scenery and even famous people. Creating rice field art is not easy. It requires careful planning, teamwork, and a deep understanding of farming. Artists and farmers plan in winter. Once the design is decided, the farmers pick rice plants of different colors to match the design. After considering the different growing speed of rice plants, they begin the planting with the help of GPS. As the rice grows, the picture starts to take shape. It’s like watching a painting come to life over the months. When the rice is tall enough, the picture is revealed. The wind blows and makes the picture dance. Rice field art is not just beautiful: it’s also a way to show the hard work and creativity of farmers. Actually, art can be found in the most surprising places, and even the simplest things, like rice, can become a great piece of artwork. 1．Why is Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in paragraph one? A．To tell his life story. B．To introduce the topic. C．To give an example. D．To make a comparison. 2．What makes the rice field art colorful? A．The different kinds of rice. B．The colorful paints. C．The big picture on the land. D．The animal images. 3．Which one can be put into the third box? A．Pick the places B．Make use of technology C．Consider colors D．Know the growth speed 4．What does the underlined phrase “is revealed” mean in paragraph four? A．Enters. B．Repairs. C．Appears. D．Shines. 5．How does the writer like the farmers? A．Strict. B．Funny. C．Energetic. D．Respectable. 三、阅读还原 In many parts of China, it’s a tradition (传统) to dress children in colorful tiger-head shoes. The tiger-head shoes are made of cloth (布) and the front of each shoe is made in the image of a tiger’s head. 1 That’s how the shoes got the name. In Chinese culture, the tiger is a symbol of good luck. So people make tiger-head shoes for their children with many good wishes. 2 They also hope that the tiger-head shoes can protect their children from getting sick. It’s hard to know who made the first pair of tiger-head shoes. 3 The following is one of them. Once upon a time, there was a lady. She was good at making things by hand. 4 One night, a monster (怪兽) came to the village and caught all the children there except her son. Other villagers believed that the child’s tiger -head shoes helped scare the monster away. From then on, people began to make tiger-head shoes for their children. Tiger-head shoes are an important part of Chinese culture. 5 As time goes by, however, fewer and fewer children wear such shoes. What a pity! 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。 A．But there are several stories about it. B．The shoes look much like the animal itself. C．She once made a pair of tiger-head shoes for her child. D．They hope that their children will become as strong as tigers. E．It used to be quite common for children to wear tiger -head shoes. 四、阅读表达 Lulu, a foreign student at Tsinghua University, first came to Beijing in 2017. She soon fell in love with the city. Her favorite place is the hutong of Beijing. When she was free, she often went for a walk with her friends. She also found her greatest hobby—Peking Opera there. The first time she saw Peking Opera was at an opera museum. “I found it really amazing,” she said. “The clothes were beautiful, and the movements (动作) were also beautiful. It is so much different from Western opera.” Out of interest, she joined the Peking Opera group of Tsinghua University. That made her see that Peking Opera is much more than just the looks. “There is a really big culture background (背景). And it is the most important in Peking Opera.” The group members practise twice a week. Mostly, they practise singing and movements. The biggest problem Lulu had was that in the beginning, there was something wrong with her throat (喉咙) because she was using her voice in the wrong way. But with the help of teachers, she improved a lot. Some students from the other countries are also in the group. “Peking Opera brings us together,” she said. “I really believe that art and music can be a bridge between different countries, and Peking Opera will get more popular around the world than before. I do believe that art brings deep friendship. I hope I can share this hobby with people outside China.” 根据短文内容，回答问题。 1．Where did Lulu find her greatest hobby—Peking Opera? 2．Why did Lulu think Peking Opera was amazing? 3．What is the most important in Peking Opera? 4．What was the biggest problem Lulu had in the beginning? 5．What does Lulu think of the future of Peking Opera? 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 2 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 The World of Art（艺术世界） 话题阅读精练 模块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 拉布布玩具介绍 课外阅读 说明文 151 介绍中国泡泡玛特 Labubu 玩具的外观、盲盒购买模式、流行原因，及其推动中国流行文化全球传播、助力艺术家出圈的意义。 实战演练 哪吒小云抗怪物 完形填空 记叙文 102 哪吒因特殊能力遭村民质疑，父母始终信任；村庄遇怪物，他与控水男孩小云合作击败怪物，多次护村，终被认作英雄。 《志愿军 2》观影信息 阅读理解 A 应用文 151 介绍电影《志愿军 2》的导演、时长、2024 年 9 月 30 日 - 10 月 9 日放映时间、安溪白龙影院地点、票价及 10 月 1 日优惠等。 《葫芦兄弟》动画 B 记叙文 98 介绍 1980 年代创作、1986 年首播的《葫芦兄弟》，讲其降妖故事，提及创造性用剪纸艺术，现译 7 种语言传播。 中国稻田艺术 C 说明文 151 以达芬奇对比引出中国稻田艺术，介绍其以田地为画布、水稻为颜料，创作需规划与 GPS 技术，体现农民辛劳与创造力。 中国传统虎头鞋 阅读还原 说明文 102 介绍中国传统虎头鞋的布料材质、虎头造型、象征好运的寓意，讲其起源传说，提及是文化重要部分，现穿的孩子渐少。 Lulu 与京剧 阅读表达 记叙文 131 清华外国学生 Lulu2017 年来京，在胡同爱上京剧；加入社团了解文化背景，克服用嗓问题，期待京剧全球流行并分享。 时文阅读 Look around!

But do you know Chinese farmers are great painters, too? The only difference is that they turn their fields into canvases (画布) and paint with rice crops. Now let’s enter the wonderful world of rice field art! Rice field art is working the land into art. It’s like a huge picture spread across the land. Different kinds of rice plants are used as colors for the picture. From a distance, these fields come alive with images (图像) of animals, scenery and even famous people. Creating rice field art is not easy. It requires careful planning, teamwork, and a deep understanding of farming. Artists and farmers plan in winter. Once the design is decided, the farmers pick rice plants of different colors to match the design. After considering the different growing speed of rice plants, they begin the planting with the help of GPS. As the rice grows, the picture starts to take shape. It’s like watching a painting come to life over the months. When the rice is tall enough, the picture is revealed. The wind blows and makes the picture dance. Rice field art is not just beautiful: it’s also a way to show the hard work and creativity of farmers. Actually, art can be found in the most surprising places, and even the simplest things, like rice, can become a great piece of artwork. 1．Why is Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in paragraph one? A．To tell his life story. B．To introduce the topic. C．To give an example. D．To make a comparison. 2．What makes the rice field art colorful? A．The different kinds of rice. B．The colorful paints. C．The big picture on the land. D．The animal images. 3．Which one can be put into the third box? A．Pick the places B．Make use of technology C．Consider colors D．Know the growth speed 4．What does the underlined phrase “is revealed” mean in paragraph four? A．Enters. B．Repairs. C．Appears. D．Shines. 5．How does the writer like the farmers? A．Strict. B．Funny. C．Energetic. D．Respectable. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国农民的稻田艺术。 1．细节理解题。根据“Now let’s enter the wonderful world of rice field art!”及下文所述可知，开篇提到绘画技艺登峰造极的世界著名画家达芬奇是为了介绍同处绘画领域的中国农民创造的稻田艺术。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Different kinds of rice plants are used as colors for the picture.”可知不同种类的水稻使稻田艺术多彩。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“…After considering the different growing speed of rice plants, they begin the planting with the help of GPS.”可知创造稻田艺术作品并非易事，需要精心的计划、团队协作和对种植的深度理解。首先要设计方案，其次农民挑选不同颜色的水稻进行方案匹配，然后考虑不同水稻的生长速度，最后开始种植。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。结合“When the rice is tall enough”和“The wind blows and makes the picture dance.”可知当水稻长得足够高的时候，稻田艺术作品就出现了，并且随风舞蹈。“appears”一词意为出现。故选C。 5．观点态度题。本文第一段作者将世界著名画家达芬奇与中国农民相比，可见中国农民在作者心目中的高度，再根据本文第五段全段所述，稻田艺术不仅漂亮，而且是展示农民的辛勤工作和创造性的一种方式。就像水稻可以成为伟大的艺术品，艺术可以在最令人惊讶甚至最简单的地方找到。综合来看，作者认为农民是可敬的。故选D。 三、阅读还原 In many parts of China, it’s a tradition (传统) to dress children in colorful tiger-head shoes. The tiger-head shoes are made of cloth (布) and the front of each shoe is made in the image of a tiger’s head. 1 That’s how the shoes got the name. In Chinese culture, the tiger is a symbol of good luck. So people make tiger-head shoes for their children with many good wishes. 2 They also hope that the tiger-head shoes can protect their children from getting sick. It’s hard to know who made the first pair of tiger-head shoes. 3 The following is one of them. Once upon a time, there was a lady. She was good at making things by hand. 4 One night, a monster (怪兽) came to the village and caught all the children there except her son. Other villagers believed that the child’s tiger -head shoes helped scare the monster away. From then on, people began to make tiger-head shoes for their children. Tiger-head shoes are an important part of Chinese culture. 5 As time goes by, however, fewer and fewer children wear such shoes.

E．It used to be quite common for children to wear tiger -head shoes. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．E 【导语】本文介绍了虎头鞋的相关内容。 1．根据“The tiger-head shoes are made of cloth and the front of each shoe is made in the image of a tiger’s head.”可知，前文描述了老虎头鞋的外形设计，后文提到“That’s how the shoes got the name”，说明鞋子因外形酷似老虎而得名。因此，此处应填入描述鞋子外形与老虎相似的句子。选项B“鞋子看起来很像这种动物本身。”符合语境。故选B。 2．根据“In Chinese culture, the tiger is a symbol of good luck. So people make tiger-head shoes for their children with many good wishes.”可知，前文提到老虎象征好运，人们制作老虎头鞋寄托美好愿望，后文提到“They also hope that the tiger-head shoes can protect their children from getting sick”，说明另一个愿望是保护孩子健康。因此，此处应填入另一个与老虎相关的美好愿望。选项D“他们希望孩子像老虎一样强壮。”符合语境。故选D。 3．根据“It’s hard to know who made the first pair of tiger-head shoes.”可知，前文提到难以追溯第一双老虎头鞋的制作者，后文“The following is one of them”表明接下来要讲述一个相关故事。因此，此处应填入提示存在多个传说的句子。选项A“但关于它有几个故事。”故选A。 4．根据“Once upon a time, there was a lady. She was good at making things by hand.”可知，前文介绍了一位擅长手工的女士，后文“One night, a monster came to the village...”讲述了怪兽事件的结果，此处应填入女士与老虎头鞋的直接关联。选项C“她曾给孩子做了一双老虎头鞋。”符合语境，故选C。 5．根据“Tiger-head shoes are an important part of Chinese culture.”可知，前文强调老虎头鞋的文化重要性，后文“As time goes by, however, fewer and fewer children wear such shoes”指出如今穿这种鞋的孩子越来越少。因此，此处应填入描述过去普遍性的句子。选项E“过去孩子们穿老虎头鞋很普遍”，符合语境，故选E。 四、阅读表达 Lulu, a foreign student at Tsinghua University, first came to Beijing in 2017.
