This art has a long history and was once very important in the past. The rattan weaving started in Nanhai using rattan, a kind of plant that grew wild there. The rattan was easy to find and could be used in many ways. As time went on, they started using other kinds of rattan, like the white one from Hainan and some from other countries.

After that, skilled people turn the rattan into pretty and useful things. These things are lightweight, nice-looking, and strong. Nowadays, fewer people want to use rattan because of new furniture materials (材料). However, the tradition is still alive thanks to hardworking craftsmen like Liang Canyao. He has started a school to teach people how to make things with rattan. Liang tries to keep this old art alive in his way. Although there are some problems, his love for Nanhai rattan weaving is still strong. The Nanhai rattan weaving is more than just a craft. It’s a special part of our culture.

Chen Jia, a young woman from Chaozhou, works on passing down and innovating (创新) Chaozhou woodcarving. Chen, born in the 1990s, began to learn the craft when she was 14 years old under the influence and support of her family. “I wanted to give up (放弃) several times during the learning process, as I often hurt myself. It’s also very difficult. My father wanted me to give up woodcarving and find an easier job,” Chen said. Chen said that she had a strong sense of achievement (成就感) when her first woodcarving artwork was sold (卖). “Since I have learned it, I just keep going,” said Chen. To finish one woodcarving piece, a woodcarver usually needs more than 30 carving knives and wooden hammers of different sizes. A common theme for carvings includes different sea animals. In the past, Chaozhou woodcarvings were mainly used to decorate buildings. They served as furniture (家具) and ceremonial (典礼) objects. However, they start to lose their charm (魅力) among people nowadays. To make young people better enjoy the traditional art form, Chen has innovated the craft in terms of its themes, shapes and usage.

People use three rods to control the puppets from below. Stick puppets have a long history in Xiaoyi. They became popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In 2008, Xiaoyi’s stick puppets were recognized (认可) as part of China’s national cultural heritage. This amazing art needs hard work from people like Wang Maowei, a puppet maker who was born in 1983 from Xiaoyi in Shanxi. Greatly influenced by his parents, Wang followed in their footsteps and decided to study this skill through the guidance of an experienced craftsman when he was 17. After spending seven years there, he returned to hometown to join a local troupe (剧团). Making a stick puppet takes about 40 to 50 days. The average height of a puppet is 75 centimeters to 1 meter. The traditional Xiaoyi puppet plays use the style of local operas, which are liked by a small crowd like older people. Wang realized that if he would like to get more visitors to come, he needed to make the puppets look new. Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood, which is time-consuming and heavy. After many experiments, Wang found that kraft paper (a type of cardboard) is a better material. The puppets made from it are lighter and simpler to hold and control. His well-designed puppets can do livelier face-changing than traditional stick puppets. Journey to the West, a famous Chinese novel, is often shown as a puppet play. In the story, the Monkey King has a special power to tell monsters from ordinary humans with his sharp eyes. To show this in the play, Wang uses his special skill to make the puppet’s eyes move. His hard work and creativity make the puppet shows even more exciting and enjoyable for everyone to watch. 1．What is Wang Maowei best at? A．Stick products. B．Traditional dresses. C．Puppet making. D．Drama performance. 2．When did Wang start to learn puppet-making from a skilled master? A．In 1983. B．In 2000. C．In 2008. D．In 2015. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．The first stick puppet was introduced to Xiaoyi during the Ming dynasty. B．Traditional puppet plays only attract older people because of the style of local operas. C．Making puppets with kraft paper instead of wood makes them lighter and easier to play with. D．Traditional stick puppets made of wood can’t do lively face-changing. 4．What does “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Monkey King’s special power. B．Wang’s special skill. C．The puppet’s eye movement. D．Wang’s hard work. 5．In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage? A．Travel. B．Nature. C．Culture. D．Science. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了山西孝义木偶戏的历史、传承人王茂伟的创新技艺以及木偶戏的表演特点。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Wang Maowei, a puppet maker…decided to study this skill”和全文对他制作木偶的描述可知，王茂伟擅长制作木偶。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Wang…decided to study this skill…when he was 17”和“born in 1983”可推算，他17岁时是1983+17=2000年。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“kraft paper…is a better material…lighter and simpler to hold”可知，用牛皮纸替代木材使木偶更轻便易操控。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“the Monkey King has a special power…To show this in the play”可知，“this”指代前句提到的“识别妖怪的特殊能力”。故选A。 5．推理判断题。全文围绕孝义木偶戏的文化遗产价值和技艺传承展开，属于“文化”板块。故选C。 Yang Luoshu, a 92-year-old man from Shandong Province, is among those who have a great love for Yangjiabu New Year woodblock (木板) painting.

It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to enjoy. Since the Warring States Period (战国时代), people loved sweets and had different ways of making sugar. In the Tang Dynasty (朝代), people greatly improved skills of sugar making. So sugar, the precious thing that once could only enter homes of the kings, also went into common people’s homes. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting came into being. Sugar painting is different from other paintings. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material (材料), a spoon (汤勺) as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to make the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is finished. _________ The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, only a few old sugar painters are willing to pass on this kind of art. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has entered people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. So we Chinese should remember, miss and pass on the art till forever. 1．What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．valuable and expensive B．useful and cheap C．inexpensive but special D．simple but priceless 2．When did sugar painting appear? A．In the Warring States Period. B．In the Tang Dynasty.

D．Worried. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种中国传统艺术形式兼小吃——糖画。 1．词义猜测题。根据“So sugar, the precious thing that once could only enter homes of the kings, also went into common people’s homes.”可知，糖曾经是只能进入国王家中的珍贵物品，后来才进入普通百姓家中。因此，precious意为“珍贵且昂贵的”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting came into being.”可知，糖画出现在明朝。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to make the work very quickly.”可知，糖浆冷却后会变硬，因此糖画师必须快速完成作品。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, only a few old sugar painters are willing to pass on this kind of art.”可知，糖画的形式变得单一，且只有少数老艺人愿意传承这门艺术，说明此段讲糖画面临的危机，因此填入“However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently.”最合适。故选C。 5．观点态度题。第四段提到糖画“需求减少、传承人稀缺”，作者用“What’s worse”强调问题严重性，并呼吁保护这一非遗。由此可推断作者对糖画的现状感到担忧。故选D。 Zigong, in Sichuan Province, is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lanterns are known as the best lanterns in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has developed quickly with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese to the world. “It takes 17 steps to make a huge lantern,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is done by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. And unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering and holography. They are perfect groups of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, Zigong lanterns have rich themes (主题). “Anything that can be put on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colourful Lantern Museum of China. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. The heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is without question the local tradition of pulling together (齐心协力). Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 1．What helps the Zigong Lantern Festival improve rapidly according to the passage?

A．They are mostly made from traditional materials. B．People should only display classic themes on lanterns. C．Creativity and personal ideas are highly valued. D．The museum collects lanterns with simple designs. 4．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．People in Zigong. B．Zigong lanterns C．The makers of Zigong lanterns. D．Modern technologies. 5．What is the structure of the passage? (①=Para. 1) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了自贡灯会的历史渊源、制作工艺、主题特色以及全球影响，强调了传统与现代技术相结合，以及全民齐心协力对灯会发展的重要作用。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The festival has developed quickly with traditional culture and modern technologies.”可知，它的发展得益于传统文化与现代技术的结合。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“And unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering and holography.”可知，自贡灯笼与其他地方的灯笼不同，自贡灯笼使用现代技术，holography (全息技术) 是现代技术，不是传统技术。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works”可推断，自贡灯会鼓励创造性与个人想法。故选C。 4．代词指代题。根据“Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries.”可知，自贡灯笼越来越受欢迎，在整个城市的驱动下，自贡灯笼已传到80多个国家。故划线单词“they”指代“自贡灯笼”。故选B。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出自贡灯会的背景，第二、三段分别介绍制作工艺与灯会主题，第四段总结并展望未来。结构为“总—分—总”形式，故选D。 能力综合实践5篇 根据材料内容完成下列任务。 Dough figurine making (面人制作) is a traditional Chinese art. It has a history of about 2,000 years in China. Though some people said it might vanish, dough figurine makers are still working very hard to keep it alive. Peng Xiaoping is a great dough figurine making artist. He also teaches students about the traditional art. “I pass on not only the skills, but also the experience of running a business (企业),” he said. “If I only teach them how to make the figurines, my students won’t be able to make a living from it, and it will not be possible to pass on the traditional art to more people.” Many young people are interested in the traditional art, but they’re facing many ▲ . There’re few professional (专业的) classes teaching students about this art. Also, because of the materials (材料), if dough figurine makers make any mistake, they can’t fix it easily. Instead, they have to do it all over again. So it can be stressful. Dough figurine making needs great talent, a lot of thinking and practice. Peng believes he can teach the young people in a new way. “My daughter is studying animation design (动画设计) at university, so I’m thinking about bringing animation and dough figurines together. Making dough figurine cartoons would be much more exciting than just passing on the art to the young people,” he said. We are excited about the future of the traditional art as dough figurine makers in China continue to look for ways to bring new life to their practice. 1．What does the underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese? A．传承 B．消失 C．分离 D．改进 2．Why should Peng’s students learn to do business? A．To sell more dough figurines. B．To raise money to save more dying traditions. C．To compete with other dough figurine makers.

D．Exciting. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了面人制作这项传统艺术所面临的问题以及面人制作艺术家彭小平传授这项艺术的一些情况。 1．词义猜测题。根据“Though some people said it might vanish, dough figurine makers are still working very hard to keep it alive.”可知，尽管有人说它可能会……，但面人制作者仍在努力让它存活，vanish的含义应与alive含义相反，alive“存活”，因此可推知vanish意为“消失”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“he said. ‘If I only teach them how to make the figurines, my students won’t be able to make a living from it, and it will not be possible to pass on the traditional art to more people.’”可知，彭小平的学生做生意应是在传承传统艺术的同时谋生。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“There’re few professional (专业的) classes teaching students about this art. Also, because of the materials (材料), if dough figurine makers make any mistake, they can’t fix it easily.Instead, they have to do it all over again. So it can be stressful. Dough figurine making needs great talent, a lot of thinking and practice.”可知，空后列举了面人制作所面临的多种困难，因此合适填入空处的应是单词difficulties“困难”。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读第四段以及“Peng believes he can teach the young people in a new way.”可知，第四段主要讲述了彭小平有了传承传统艺术的新方法。故选C。 5．观点态度题。根据“We are excited about the future of the traditional art as dough figurine makers in China continue to look for ways to bring new life to their practice.”可知，我们对传统艺术的未来感到兴奋，因为中国的面人制作者继续寻找为他们的实践带来新生命的方法。因此可推知作者对面人制作的未来应是觉得兴奋的。故选D。 Do you love music?

In 2018, they were added to Sichuan’s intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录). 63-year-old Lai Shufang has been making Tangchang cloth shoes for 40 years. Now she is very experienced. She said there are 32 steps to make a pair, but the most important step is making the soles. Layers (层) of white cloth are glued together with flour paste (糨糊). “To make good paste, we make it at a temperature of 85℃. If it’s too low or too high, the paste will not work.” Lai said. Then the pasted layers are dried and cut into different shapes. After this, the layered cloth is beaten again and again until it is tight (紧实的) enough to make soles and upper parts.

Then the cloth shoes are ready. Lai’s hard work touched her son Ai Peng. In 2015, Ai decided to leave his job and help his mother.

Nanhai is famous for a traditional craft (手工艺品) that has been around for over 1000 years: Nanhai rattan weavings (南海藤编). This art has a long history and was once very important in the past. The rattan weaving started in Nanhai using rattan, a kind of plant that grew wild there. The rattan was easy to find and could be used in many ways. As time went on, they started using other kinds of rattan, like the white one from Hainan and some from other countries. Making Nanhai rattan weavings is complex. It has many steps. First, they cook the rattan, and then let it dry. They make it white and clean it really well. After that, skilled people turn the rattan into pretty and useful things. These things are lightweight, nice-looking, and strong. Nowadays, fewer people want to use rattan because of new furniture materials (材料). However, the tradition is still alive thanks to hardworking craftsmen like Liang Canyao. He has started a school to teach people how to make things with rattan. Liang tries to keep this old art alive in his way. Although there are some problems, his love for Nanhai rattan weaving is still strong. The Nanhai rattan weaving is more than just a craft.

Chen Jia, a young woman from Chaozhou, works on passing down and innovating (创新) Chaozhou woodcarving. Chen, born in the 1990s, began to learn the craft when she was 14 years old under the influence and support of her family. “I wanted to give up (放弃) several times during the learning process, as I often hurt myself. It’s also very difficult. My father wanted me to give up woodcarving and find an easier job,” Chen said. Chen said that she had a strong sense of achievement (成就感) when her first woodcarving artwork was sold (卖). “Since I have learned it, I just keep going,” said Chen. To finish one woodcarving piece, a woodcarver usually needs more than 30 carving knives and wooden hammers of different sizes. A common theme for carvings includes different sea animals. In the past, Chaozhou woodcarvings were mainly used to decorate buildings. They served as furniture (家具) and ceremonial (典礼) objects. However, they start to lose their charm (魅力) among people nowadays. To make young people better enjoy the traditional art form, Chen has innovated the craft in terms of its themes, shapes and usage. She now carves small decorative objects and articles for daily use, hoping that more and more people will like the artworks. 1．Chen Jia learned the woodcarving craft because ________.

People use three rods to control the puppets from below. Stick puppets have a long history in Xiaoyi. They became popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In 2008, Xiaoyi’s stick puppets were recognized (认可) as part of China’s national cultural heritage. This amazing art needs hard work from people like Wang Maowei, a puppet maker who was born in 1983 from Xiaoyi in Shanxi. Greatly influenced by his parents, Wang followed in their footsteps and decided to study this skill through the guidance of an experienced craftsman when he was 17. After spending seven years there, he returned to hometown to join a local troupe (剧团). Making a stick puppet takes about 40 to 50 days. The average height of a puppet is 75 centimeters to 1 meter. The traditional Xiaoyi puppet plays use the style of local operas, which are liked by a small crowd like older people. Wang realized that if he would like to get more visitors to come, he needed to make the puppets look new. Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood, which is time-consuming and heavy. After many experiments, Wang found that kraft paper (a type of cardboard) is a better material. The puppets made from it are lighter and simpler to hold and control. His well-designed puppets can do livelier face-changing than traditional stick puppets. Journey to the West, a famous Chinese novel, is often shown as a puppet play. In the story, the Monkey King has a special power to tell monsters from ordinary humans with his sharp eyes. To show this in the play, Wang uses his special skill to make the puppet’s eyes move. His hard work and creativity make the puppet shows even more exciting and enjoyable for everyone to watch. 1．What is Wang Maowei best at? A．Stick products. B．Traditional dresses. C．Puppet making. D．Drama performance. 2．When did Wang start to learn puppet-making from a skilled master? A．In 1983. B．In 2000. C．In 2008. D．In 2015. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．The first stick puppet was introduced to Xiaoyi during the Ming dynasty. B．Traditional puppet plays only attract older people because of the style of local operas. C．Making puppets with kraft paper instead of wood makes them lighter and easier to play with. D．Traditional stick puppets made of wood can’t do lively face-changing. 4．What does “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Monkey King’s special power. B．Wang’s special skill. C．The puppet’s eye movement. D．Wang’s hard work. 5．In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage? A．Travel. B．Nature. C．Culture. D．Science. Yang Luoshu, a 92-year-old man from Shandong Province, is among those who have a great love for Yangjiabu New Year woodblock (木板) painting. Yang has worked as a woodblock artist for 77 years and is still keeping on improving his skills. “When I was young, I often saw my father carving (雕刻), and I was interested in it,” said Yang. “One day my father went out for a while. I quickly got his knife and carved on a woodblock. That was my very first carving experience.” Since then, Yang has carved different patterns, including flowers, birds, mountains, rivers and traditional Chinese gods. “Although carving is hard, carving gods is especially difficult because of their lively facial expressions.

It shows us China’s super amazing traditional culture. Paper-cutting with its pretty designs, clay figures by very skillful hands, and the beautiful Suzhou embroidery (刺绣)—these are all traditional crafts in China. The documentary tells a nice story about Li Ming. He’s a 78-year-old master at making clay figures from Tianjin. In the old days, people had to learn how to make clay figures from teachers face to face. But things are different now. Li Ming finds a new way to show his crafts. He does live shows on the Internet. Every time he starts making clay figures, about 50,000 people watch him on their computers or phones. Because of the Internet, more and more young people start to love Li Ming’s clay figures. This documentary becomes very popular. Because of this, thirty schools start to teach folk art in their classes. Now, students get a great chance (机会) to learn things like paper-cutting, embroidery and lots of other fun skills. The director (导演), Zhang Wei says, “Folk art isn’t old. When young people learn it, it becomes alive again.” It is better that people from different countries watch this documentary. They think Chinese folk art is really cool. Some of them even come to China to see and try Chinese folk art for themselves. Chinese folk art is like a hidden treasure.

It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to enjoy. Since the Warring States Period (战国时代), people loved sweets and had different ways of making sugar. In the Tang Dynasty (朝代), people greatly improved skills of sugar making. So sugar, the precious thing that once could only enter homes of the kings, also went into common people’s homes. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting came into being. Sugar painting is different from other paintings. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material (材料), a spoon (汤勺) as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to make the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is finished. _________ The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, only a few old sugar painters are willing to pass on this kind of art. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has entered people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. So we Chinese should remember, miss and pass on the art till forever. 1．What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．valuable and expensive B．useful and cheap C．inexpensive but special D．simple but priceless 2．When did sugar painting appear? A．In the Warring States Period. B．In the Tang Dynasty.

C．However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. D．As time goes on, people create different forms of sugar painting. 5．How might the writer feel about today’s sugar painting according to Paragraph 4? A．Hopeful. B．Angry. C．Unclear. D．Worried. Zigong, in Sichuan Province, is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lanterns are known as the best lanterns in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has developed quickly with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese to the world. “It takes 17 steps to make a huge lantern,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is done by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. And unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering and holography. They are perfect groups of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, Zigong lanterns have rich themes (主题). “Anything that can be put on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colourful Lantern Museum of China. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. The heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is without question the local tradition of pulling together (齐心协力). Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries.

Tangchang, a town in Chengdu, is well-known for cloth shoes. With over 20 types, Tangchang cloth shoes are strong, soft, breathable and friendly to the environment. In 2018, they were added to Sichuan’s intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录). 63-year-old Lai Shufang has been making Tangchang cloth shoes for 40 years. Now she is very experienced. She said there are 32 steps to make a pair, but the most important step is making the soles. Layers (层) of white cloth are glued together with flour paste (糨糊). “To make good paste, we make it at a temperature of 85℃. If it’s too low or too high, the paste will not work.” Lai said. Then the pasted layers are dried and cut into different shapes. After this, the layered cloth is beaten again and again until it is tight (紧实的) enough to make soles and upper parts. The next step is to shape the two parts and glue them together. But still the soles edges look fluffy. Through repeated polishing and trimming (滚压和修整), the fluffy edges (毛边) will become smooth. Then the cloth shoes are ready. Lai’s hard work touched her son Ai Peng. In 2015, Ai decided to leave his job and help his mother.
