Why don’t we use forks and knives? Chopsticks are kitchen and eating tools. They have been used all over East Asia for over 2,000 years. They were first invented and used by the Chinese during the Zhou Dynasty. Chopsticks later spread to other countries across East, South and South East Asia. They are usually made of bamboo or wood. But at first, chopsticks are not used as eating tools. They were probably used for cooking such as stirring (搅拌) the fire. Then people found it was convenient to eat by using chopsticks. Then chopsticks began to be used as eating tools during the Han Dynasty. Why not use forks and knives? In our mind, forks and knives are made of metal (金属). They are more similar to weapons (武器). How could dangerous weapons be used on the eating tables? And can you imagine how terrible it is to use forks and knives while we are taking food out of the hot pot? Then chopsticks perfectly solve this problem. What’s more, we believe in the idea of being simple. With the two sticks, we can do many things. Also, chopsticks contain (包含) the principle (理念) of “Yin and Yang”. Besides, if you take a close look at the chopsticks, you will find the chopsticks are round on one side and square on the other side. So the round side means the sky and the square side means the earth. And when we hold chopsticks, our fingers are between the two sticks. That’s our understanding of the relationship between man and the world. 1．Why does the writer ask two questions at the beginning of the text? A．To introduce the topic of the text. B．To show the importance of chopsticks. C．To describe the influence of chopsticks. D．To predict the future of chopsticks. 2．Which question’s answer can’t be found in Paragraph 2? A．When were chopsticks invented? B．Why are we still using chopsticks? C．What are chopsticks made of? D．What were chopsticks first used for? 3．What does the writer mainly want to show in the last paragraph? A．Chopsticks are the perfect eating tools. B．Chopsticks contain much Chinese culture. C．People hold chopsticks between the two sticks. D．The two sides of the chopsticks mean the earth and the sky. 4．Which can be a proper title for the text? A．The History of Chopsticks B．Chopsticks and Cooking C．Culture in Chinese Chopsticks D．Chopsticks or Forks and Knives 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 【知识点】中华文化、说明文 【导语】本文主要讲述了筷子的来源，以及中国人仍然在使用筷子的原因。 1．推理判断题。根据“Have you ever had a question in your mind about why we Chinese people are still using chopsticks? Why don’t we use forks and knives?”可知，作者通过这两个问题引出文章的话题——筷子。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They were first invented and used by the Chinese during the Zhou Dynasty.”可知，A项提及；根据“They are usually made of bamboo or wood.”可知，C项提及；根据“But at first, chopsticks are not used as eating tools.

So the round side means the sky and the square side means the earth. And when we hold chopsticks, our fingers are between the two sticks.

He likes making his eco-friendly (环保) bicycles. Bamboo is an eco-friendly material. “There are thousands of types of bamboo in China,” Wang said. “It grows very fast and is a very good material for bike frames (框架).” His idea for bamboo bikes started to take shape (形成) in Beijing. There Wang found more and more people chose to drive cars rather than ride bikes, even if they had one. Wang said, “I was thinking how we can make bikes fun and cool again, and using an eco-friendly material is one way. The other way is teaching young people to make their own bike because when you make something yourself, it feels quite different.” So he created a bamboo bike club, named BBB (Bamboo Bicycle Beijing & Beyond) in Beijing and ran it for seven years. It was popular with those who would love to make their own bamboo bike and explore the world on one they had made. After his second daughter was born, he moved to Shanghai. “ I wanted to have a different and better environment for my daughters,” Wang said. “ Shanghai is a great city for families, especially for little kids.” If Beijing is where he started the idea to make bamboo bikes, Shanghai is where the idea turned into a real business. “I just got my business license (营业执照),” Wang said, “and I have found some factories in Anji, Zhejiang province to help me produce bikes in the future.” He has named his studio “ Brook & Breeze ” after his daughters. “We gave them those names largely because we wanted them to be part of nature. It also gives meaning to what I do, my career, to let people use a natural thing and explore nature.” 1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．Meanings of making bamboo bikes. B．Reasons for using bamboo to make bikes. C．Steps of making bikes from bamboo. D．Advantages of making bamboo bikes. 2．Where did Wang come up with his idea of making bamboo bikes? A．In Shanghai.

It’s a form of traditional art in China. Artists use special, fine brushes that can go into very small containers to create their paintings. With a history of over 200 years, there are different schools of inner painting. Beijing, Hebei, Shandong and Guangdong schools are four of them. Li Shaoyue, from Zibo, Shandong Province, is the fifth-generation inheritor of the Shandong school. She learned the skills from her father, Li Huitong, a master of traditional Chinese arts and crafts. “I have seen my father do this since I was a child. He always works hard and tries to improve his skills,” Li said. She wanted to be an inner painter like her father because she knew fewer young people were willing to learn inner painting. “If it were to be discontinued here, it would be a great pity,” she added. Li has worked as an inner painter for nine years. Over the years, she has finished a lot of works of art for sale and show. She thinks inner painting requires inheritance and development.

But aren’t too young?” “Who is talking about marriage (婚姻)?” I replied, I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box? “Oh,” he said, “There is a phone downstairs.” When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me. “Don’t worry,” he said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first.

Why don’t we use forks and knives? Chopsticks are kitchen and eating tools. They have been used all over East Asia for over 2,000 years. They were first invented and used by the Chinese during the Zhou Dynasty. Chopsticks later spread to other countries across East, South and South East Asia. They are usually made of bamboo or wood. But at first, chopsticks are not used as eating tools. They were probably used for cooking such as stirring (搅拌) the fire. Then people found it was convenient to eat by using chopsticks. Then chopsticks began to be used as eating tools during the Han Dynasty. Why not use forks and knives? In our mind, forks and knives are made of metal (金属). They are more similar to weapons (武器). How could dangerous weapons be used on the eating tables? And can you imagine how terrible it is to use forks and knives while we are taking food out of the hot pot? Then chopsticks perfectly solve this problem. What’s more, we believe in the idea of being simple. With the two sticks, we can do many things. Also, chopsticks contain (包含) the principle (理念) of “Yin and Yang”. Besides, if you take a close look at the chopsticks, you will find the chopsticks are round on one side and square on the other side. So the round side means the sky and the square side means the earth. And when we hold chopsticks, our fingers are between the two sticks. That’s our understanding of the relationship between man and the world. 1．Why does the writer ask two questions at the beginning of the text? A．To introduce the topic of the text. B．To show the importance of chopsticks. C．To describe the influence of chopsticks. D．To predict the future of chopsticks. 2．Which question’s answer can’t be found in Paragraph 2? A．When were chopsticks invented? B．Why are we still using chopsticks? C．What are chopsticks made of? D．What were chopsticks first used for? 3．What does the writer mainly want to show in the last paragraph? A．Chopsticks are the perfect eating tools. B．Chopsticks contain much Chinese culture. C．People hold chopsticks between the two sticks. D．The two sides of the chopsticks mean the earth and the sky. 4．Which can be a proper title for the text? A．The History of Chopsticks B．Chopsticks and Cooking C．Culture in Chinese Chopsticks D．Chopsticks or Forks and Knives Passage 07 （24-25九年级上·河北石家庄·期中）Reading for pleasure is the easiest way for us to become a better reader in English.

Today, we can get colorful clothes easily. But how about people in old times? Tie-dye (扎染) is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China. It’s more than 1,000 years old. People in the past made it by hand. To tie-dye, you first need to use thread (麻绳) to tie your cloth (布料) together. Then you put the cloth into the dye. Some parts of the cloth will become dark blue, while other parts will be lighter in color. When you open out the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns (图案). In 2006, the tie-dye skill became China’s national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Anning in Yunnan is famous for tie-dye. Yang Cheng, 52, learned to tie-dye from his mother in the 1980s. Now he is still doing the job and has taught his daughter this skill. Yang continued the old skill of tie-dye. At the same time, he studied new tie-dye skills in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. Yang once made two sets of tie-dyed special dresses. It took him about two years. He used many skills of Anning tie-dye. Some patterns on the dresses are traditional, while some are modern. “I want to put all the beautiful things into tie-dye works,” he said. Yang now teaches tie-dye in many places. More than 100,000 people have learned from him. Some people worry that there won’t be tie-dye anymore because using machines is fast and cheap.

Although it might sound a little far from you. living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think. Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a telepresence system (远程遥控系统) allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener”, said Dan Hill, head of a research company. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

He likes making his eco-friendly (环保) bicycles. Bamboo is an eco-friendly material. “There are thousands of types of bamboo in China,” Wang said. “It grows very fast and is a very good material for bike frames (框架).” His idea for bamboo bikes started to take shape (形成) in Beijing. There Wang found more and more people chose to drive cars rather than ride bikes, even if they had one. Wang said, “I was thinking how we can make bikes fun and cool again, and using an eco-friendly material is one way. The other way is teaching young people to make their own bike because when you make something yourself, it feels quite different.” So he created a bamboo bike club, named BBB (Bamboo Bicycle Beijing & Beyond) in Beijing and ran it for seven years. It was popular with those who would love to make their own bamboo bike and explore the world on one they had made. After his second daughter was born, he moved to Shanghai. “ I wanted to have a different and better environment for my daughters,” Wang said. “ Shanghai is a great city for families, especially for little kids.” If Beijing is where he started the idea to make bamboo bikes, Shanghai is where the idea turned into a real business. “I just got my business license (营业执照),” Wang said, “and I have found some factories in Anji, Zhejiang province to help me produce bikes in the future.” He has named his studio “ Brook & Breeze ” after his daughters. “We gave them those names largely because we wanted them to be part of nature. It also gives meaning to what I do, my career, to let people use a natural thing and explore nature.” 1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．Meanings of making bamboo bikes. B．Reasons for using bamboo to make bikes. C．Steps of making bikes from bamboo. D．Advantages of making bamboo bikes. 2．Where did Wang come up with his idea of making bamboo bikes? A．In Shanghai.

The Great Wall is wonderful!” he answered. “Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people from all over the world have come to visit it,” I added. As I was telling him more about it, he said again, “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking. “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say!’ ? ” I asked again.

The term pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning. As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colorful paintings. On screens usually appears a dragon. It’s a symbol of light, growth and life-giving water. It also stands for nobility and power. The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens ,too. It’s a symbol of everlasting life. Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes. Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past, the unmarried daughter of a rich family was not supposed to see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male cousins. When an admirer paid a visit however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind which she would be completely hidden. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If the daughter and her father were satisfied with the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to take him as a husband. Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall or divider, it can be the perfect match (相配) for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them.
