Before that, I was an actor for nine years. I was never famous, but I was quite successful! I changed jobs because I wanted to do more in life than make people laugh. What if I could help people, too?As a clown, I try to encourage sick children in hospital to laugh and smile. When you laugh, your mind and body relax. Clearly, people who laugh more don’t have as many colds or other problems! Children who laugh a lot often get better results in their studies, too. It isn’t an easy job. Not all sick children get better, and sometimes I come home and cry. But I always go back to work the next day with my red nose on. I don’t earn much money as a clown, but I feel very lucky to work with such brave, wonderful patients. I became a laughter yoga (瑜伽) teacher more than two years ago. Before that, I was a dentist! My job was very difficult and I used to feel fed up. Now I still improve people’s health, but everything else is completely different. Everyone has fun in a laughter yoga class, including the teacher! No, laughter isn’t “magic”. It doesn’t prevent all illnesses, keep you young, or make you beautiful. But did you know that it’s an excellent kind of exercise? You move your whole body when you laugh! Sometimes I work with famous people. It’s true that being rich can be stressful! Some famous people can be unpleasant at times, but I try to change their bad feelings. Laughter is excellent for people like musicians, artists and writers, because it helps people to be more creative. 1．According to the passage, we can see that both writers ________.

How much do you know about it? A group of students from Tianjin found a problem. Most middle school students plan little for their future jobs. Because there is too little help from their school or family. To guide students to make job plans, the students from Tianjin No.1 Middle School started a project (项目) called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi”. “Most students want to know more about different jobs.” said Wang Xinran, a project member (成员). To meet the students’ needs, the team interviewed (采访) 32 people with different jobs and posted their interviews on TV shows.

A team member Liu Jinyan said his most unforgettable interview was with a photographer (摄影师). “In the past, I thought being a photographer was cool. But now I know that they have to face lots of problems. They also need to talk with different people.” But the project “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi” doesn’t mean to let the students down (失望的) by telling them the problems. “We want to show people’s love and hard work, not the bad sides,” said a team member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a job into a poem.

I’m beautiful.’” “Then the old man said, ‘I know it hurt to be patted. It made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel. It was extremely hot to be in the oven.

As soon as they saw the girl practising, they started to beat drums and gongs for her, and quickly she did a lion dance in return. People around all cheered for her.

It is a mix of many art forms, including painting, music, opera performance and story-telling. In 2011, it was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Shadow puppetry can be found all over China, especially in rural areas. Performances often take place in community centers, village squares, and during local festivals, where families gather to enjoy the shows. Traditional theaters showcase these captivating art forms, while portable (便携的) puppet stages allow performances in parks and public spaces, making shadow puppetry accessible (易得到的) to all. More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very upset about the death of his favorite concubine (妃子). One day, a minister happened to see children playing with dolls, whose shadows were vivid (生动的) on the floor. Then he had an idea—he made a puppet of the concubine. As night fell, he invited the emperor to watch a puppet show. This story is believed to be the origin of shadow puppetry. Shadow puppetry was widely performed in the Tang Dynasty, and was introduced into West Asian and European countries during the Yuan Dynasty. The art form met its heyday (全盛期) in the Qing Dynasty, when the puppetry was performed in almost every province. The puppetry was also performed in many celebrations, such as weddings. There were even plays in a series, which were shown in the same form as today’s TV dramas. Such plays could be performed for over half a month. However, making the puppets is not an easy job. They are mostly made of the leather (皮革) of animals, such as cattle and sheep. That’s why their Chinese name is pi ying, which means shadows of leather. The body parts of the puppets are cut separately and then joined (连接) together. During the performances, puppeteers hold the puppets with sticks connected to their most important joints, so that the puppets could be shown as “moving images” on the screens. They could sometimes be as vivid as living creatures. No wonder Chinese shadow puppetry is also known as the “forefather of the films”. 1．In which dynasty was shadow puppetry introduced to areas outside China? A．Han Dynasty. B．Tang Dynasty. C．Song Dynasty. D．Yuan Dynasty. 2．Which step is NOT part of making traditional shadow puppets? A．Using animal leather like cattle or sheep. B．Cutting leather into separate body parts. C．Holding the puppet to make them move freely. D．Joining the parts with sticks for movement. 3．What can we infer (推断) about shadow puppetry? A．It has been one of Intangible Cultural Heritages for 14 years. B．The minister made the puppet because the emperor enjoyed playing with dolls. C．Shadow puppetry was performed only in rural provinces. D．The development of films may be inspired (受启发) by shadow puppetry. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? 1 Introduction 2 areas 3 Origin (起源) 4 Development 5 Craftsmanship (制作工艺) A．B．C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种传统的中国民间戏剧形式——皮影戏。 1．细节理解题。根据“and was introduced into West Asian and European countries during the Yuan Dynasty”可知，在元代，皮影戏传入西亚和欧洲国家。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“During the performances, puppeteers hold the puppets with sticks connected to their most important joints, so that the puppets could be shown as ‘moving images’ on the screens”可知，握住木偶，让木偶自由移动，这属于表演环节，不是制作环节。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“No wonder Chinese shadow puppetry is also known as the ‘forefather of the films’.”可推知，电影的发展可能受到皮影戏的启发，A项属于事实，B项和C项表述错误。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引入皮影戏及其地位；第二段介绍皮影戏的分布，第三段和第四段介绍皮影戏的起源和发展，第五段介绍皮影的制作工艺。故选B。 Every year, when the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, Fang Shaohuang and his family are busy.

The art form mixes beautiful writing, carving skills and rich cultural meanings. This art began in the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE). People then used seals mostly as symbols of controllers. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE), seals also showed a person’s importance. A big change happened in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE). The emperor made a special writing style for it. Many centuries later, during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties, artists made seal carving one of the most popular art forms. They used different stones and sometimes ivory for important people. Do you know how to carve a seal? First, draw a design (设计) on the seal. The design can be a simple sign, a word or a short sentence. Second, use a special carving tool to cut the design. This needs good hand skills and takes lots of time. Then put ink on the seal when the carving is done. Next, press the seal on a piece of paper. You’ll see the design printed on the paper.

A．a shopping website B．a science magazine C．a storybook D．a morning newspaper I’ve been working as a professional clown (小丑) for nearly two years. Before that, I was an actor for nine years. I was never famous, but I was quite successful! I changed jobs because I wanted to do more in life than make people laugh. What if I could help people, too?As a clown, I try to encourage sick children in hospital to laugh and smile. When you laugh, your mind and body relax. Clearly, people who laugh more don’t have as many colds or other problems! Children who laugh a lot often get better results in their studies, too. It isn’t an easy job. Not all sick children get better, and sometimes I come home and cry. But I always go back to work the next day with my red nose on. I don’t earn much money as a clown, but I feel very lucky to work with such brave, wonderful patients. I became a laughter yoga (瑜伽) teacher more than two years ago. Before that, I was a dentist! My job was very difficult and I used to feel fed up. Now I still improve people’s health, but everything else is completely different. Everyone has fun in a laughter yoga class, including the teacher! No, laughter isn’t “magic”. It doesn’t prevent all illnesses, keep you young, or make you beautiful. But did you know that it’s an excellent kind of exercise? You move your whole body when you laugh! Sometimes I work with famous people. It’s true that being rich can be stressful! Some famous people can be unpleasant at times, but I try to change their bad feelings. Laughter is excellent for people like musicians, artists and writers, because it helps people to be more creative. 1．According to the passage, we can see that both writers ________.

How much do you know about it? A group of students from Tianjin found a problem. Most middle school students plan little for their future jobs. Because there is too little help from their school or family. To guide students to make job plans, the students from Tianjin No.1 Middle School started a project (项目) called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi”. “Most students want to know more about different jobs.” said Wang Xinran, a project member (成员). To meet the students’ needs, the team interviewed (采访) 32 people with different jobs and posted their interviews on TV shows. The people shared true stories behind each job to make students learn about the jobs in depth. A team member Liu Jinyan said his most unforgettable interview was with a photographer (摄影师). “In the past, I thought being a photographer was cool. But now I know that they have to face lots of problems. They also need to talk with different people.” But the project “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi” doesn’t mean to let the students down (失望的) by telling them the problems. “We want to show people’s love and hard work, not the bad sides,” said a team member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a job into a poem.

She saw a beautiful teacup (茶杯). She took it up and said to herself, “What a beautiful teacup! I love it.” Suddenly the teacup spoke, “Thank you, lady. But I was just some clay (陶土) a few days ago. Would you like to listen to my story?” The old lady was in surprise, but she soon answered, “Oh, dear! Go ahead.” “A few days ago, I was red and I was clay. An old man took me and patted (拍打) me over and over and I shouted, ‘Let me alone.’ But he only smiled, ‘Not yet!’” “Then he put me on a wheel and spun (旋转) me around and around. ‘Stop it! I’m getting dizzy (眩晕的)!’ I cried. But the old man only said, ‘Not yet.’” “Then he put me in the oven (炉子). It was too hot. I wanted to know why he wanted to burn me, and I knocked at the door and shouted. I could hear him saying the same word.” “Then I knew there wasn’t any hope. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and let me cool down. He placed me in front of a mirror and said, ‘Look at yourself.’ And I did. I said, ‘That couldn’t be me. It’s beautiful. I’m beautiful.’” “Then the old man said, ‘I know it hurt to be patted. It made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel. It was extremely hot to be in the oven.

As I grew up, I became busy and didn’t have much time for it. Later, I stopped doing it. However, the news I came across online touched my heart and changed my mind. A little girl from Jieyang, Guangdong, was practising a lion dance when a professional lion dance performance team (专业舞狮表演队) passed by. As soon as they saw the girl practising, they started to beat drums and gongs for her, and quickly she did a lion dance in return. People around all cheered for her. Her love for the ancient Chinese culture evoked my strong memories of paper cutting. I remembered the happy times of making paper cuttings with my teacher and friends in the club. When I was ten, I joined the paper cutting club. Every Monday and Friday, I learned to make paper cuttings there. Our teacher, Ms Li, was very talented. With a pair of scissors and a piece of paper, she could create lively works. That amazed us. And we learned much from her. Together, we created lots of works. They covered many topics, including animals, flowers, and things about Chinese history. Every time we held a paper cutting show, our works attracted many visitors. The girl in the news encouraged me to go on with paper cutting. I want to be an inheritor (继承者) of the ancient Chinese culture. Together with other inheritors, I hope to pass down our excellent culture. 1．What did the girl do after the team began to beat drums and gongs for her? A．She watched their show carefully.

A．My love for lion dance B．A talented paper cutting teacher C．How to pass down Chinese culture D．Returning to paper cutting Chinese shadow puppetry, or shadow play, is probably one of the most ancient arts using light and shadow. It is a mix of many art forms, including painting, music, opera performance and story-telling. In 2011, it was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Shadow puppetry can be found all over China, especially in rural areas. Performances often take place in community centers, village squares, and during local festivals, where families gather to enjoy the shows. Traditional theaters showcase these captivating art forms, while portable (便携的) puppet stages allow performances in parks and public spaces, making shadow puppetry accessible (易得到的) to all. More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very upset about the death of his favorite concubine (妃子). One day, a minister happened to see children playing with dolls, whose shadows were vivid (生动的) on the floor. Then he had an idea—he made a puppet of the concubine. As night fell, he invited the emperor to watch a puppet show. This story is believed to be the origin of shadow puppetry. Shadow puppetry was widely performed in the Tang Dynasty, and was introduced into West Asian and European countries during the Yuan Dynasty. The art form met its heyday (全盛期) in the Qing Dynasty, when the puppetry was performed in almost every province. The puppetry was also performed in many celebrations, such as weddings. There were even plays in a series, which were shown in the same form as today’s TV dramas. Such plays could be performed for over half a month. However, making the puppets is not an easy job. They are mostly made of the leather (皮革) of animals, such as cattle and sheep. That’s why their Chinese name is pi ying, which means shadows of leather. The body parts of the puppets are cut separately and then joined (连接) together. During the performances, puppeteers hold the puppets with sticks connected to their most important joints, so that the puppets could be shown as “moving images” on the screens. They could sometimes be as vivid as living creatures. No wonder Chinese shadow puppetry is also known as the “forefather of the films”. 1．In which dynasty was shadow puppetry introduced to areas outside China? A．Han Dynasty. B．Tang Dynasty. C．Song Dynasty. D．Yuan Dynasty. 2．Which step is NOT part of making traditional shadow puppets? A．Using animal leather like cattle or sheep. B．Cutting leather into separate body parts. C．Holding the puppet to make them move freely. D．Joining the parts with sticks for movement. 3．What can we infer (推断) about shadow puppetry? A．It has been one of Intangible Cultural Heritages for 14 years. B．The minister made the puppet because the emperor enjoyed playing with dolls. C．Shadow puppetry was performed only in rural provinces. D．The development of films may be inspired (受启发) by shadow puppetry. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? 1 Introduction 2 areas 3 Origin (起源) 4 Development 5 Craftsmanship (制作工艺) A．B．C． D． Every year, when the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, Fang Shaohuang and his family are busy.

The art form mixes beautiful writing, carving skills and rich cultural meanings. This art began in the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE). People then used seals mostly as symbols of controllers. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE), seals also showed a person’s importance. A big change happened in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE). The emperor made a special writing style for it. Many centuries later, during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties, artists made seal carving one of the most popular art forms. They used different stones and sometimes ivory for important people. Do you know how to carve a seal? First, draw a design (设计) on the seal. The design can be a simple sign, a word or a short sentence. Second, use a special carving tool to cut the design. This needs good hand skills and takes lots of time. Then put ink on the seal when the carving is done. Next, press the seal on a piece of paper. You’ll see the design printed on the paper. This printed design is a special symbol for the person or group who owns the seal. Today, many people still love it even though they use seals less for everyday signing now. In fact, in 2009, Chinese seal carving was accepted by UNESCO as a very important world cultural treasure. Modern artists try new styles. People collect old seals for their history and many learn carving as a way to learn tradition and relax themselves. Workshops around the world teach the ancient Chinese art, making sure it continues to shine brightly. 1．In what way does the writer tell the history of the seal carving in Paragraph 2?
