Passage1
A Blind Girl’s Creative Art Touches the World(盲女孩的创意艺术,打动世界)
14-year-old Lila lost her sight in a car accident three years ago. She once felt sad and lost, but art brought her back to life—with a creative way to paint. Lila doesn’t use a brush or canvas like other artists. Instead, she creates texture paintings with clay, yarn, buttons and fabric scraps.
She puts the materials on a hard board, pressing them gently to make different shapes: soft yarn for clouds, rough clay for mountains, small buttons for stars. She feels the materials with her hands to make sure every part is in place. At first, people thought it was impossible for a blind girl to paint, but Lila’s works are amazing. Her painting The Starry Night even won a prize in a national children’s art competition.
Lila’s creative art isn’t just about beautiful works. It tells people that creativity is about finding new ways to do things, even when life gives you difficulties. She now teaches other disabled kids to make texture paintings, helping them find their own creative light.
14岁的莱拉三年前在一场车祸中失去了视力。她曾一度悲伤迷茫,但艺术以一种充满创意的绘画方式,让她重获新生。莱拉不像其他艺术家那样使用画笔和画布,而是用黏土、毛线、纽扣和布料边角料,创作肌理画。
她把这些材料铺在硬画板上,轻轻按压出不同的形状:柔软的毛线化作云朵,粗糙的黏土拼成山峦,小巧的纽扣点缀成星星。她用手触摸材料,确保每一处细节都摆放到位。起初,人们都认为一个盲女孩画画是不可能的事,但莱拉的作品却惊艳众人。她的作品《星空》甚至在全国儿童美术比赛中斩获奖项。
莱拉的创意艺术,不只是一幅幅精美的作品,更告诉人们:创意,是即便生活遭遇困境,也能找到做事的新方式。如今,她还教其他残疾孩子制作肌理画,帮助他们找到属于自己的创意光芒。

How Creative Ideas Change Our Daily Life(创意想法如何改变我们的日常生活)
We often think creativity is for scientists, inventors or artists—but it’s actually all around us. Small creative ideas from ordinary people are changing our daily life in simple and wonderful ways, making it easier and more convenient. Here are some great examples.
For morning rush:A student invented a breakfast cup with two layers. The top layer holds milk or yogurt, and the bottom layer has cereal or oatmeal. You don’t need two bowls anymore—just mix them when you’re ready to eat, perfect for busy school mornings.
For school bags:A mom designed a strap with a magnetic buckle for her son. It’s easy to open and close, and the strap never slips off his shoulder, even when he runs. Now this design is used by many school bag brands.
For reading:A teacher created a book light clip that can be fixed on any book. It’s small and light, with a soft light that doesn’t hurt eyes—great for reading in bed or on the bus without turning on the big light.
These small ideas all come from people’s daily needs. They show that creativity is not about big inventions. It’s about looking at life carefully, and finding smart ways to solve small problems. Everyone can be creative!
我们总以为创意是科学家、发明家或艺术家的专属——但事实上,创意就在我们身边。普通人的一个个小小创意,正以简单而美好的方式改变着我们的日常生活,让生活变得更便捷、更舒心。这里有几个精彩的例子。
针对清晨匆忙:一名学生发明了一款双层早餐杯,上层装牛奶或酸奶,下层装麦片或燕麦片。你再也不用两个碗了,想吃的时候直接混合即可,特别适合忙碌的上学清晨。
针对书包烦恼:一位妈妈为儿子设计了一款磁吸扣书包背带,开合方便,即便孩子跑跳,背带也绝不会从肩膀滑落。如今,这款设计已被多个书包品牌采用。
针对阅读需求:一位老师制作了一款书夹小夜灯,可以固定在任意一本书上,小巧轻便,光线柔和不刺眼——躺在床上或公交上看书,不用开大灯,特别实用。
这些小创意都源于人们的日常需求,它们告诉我们:创意并非惊天的发明,而是用心观察生活,找到解决小问题的巧妙方法。每个人都可以拥有创意!

Passage2
(24-25七年级下·江苏南京·期中)In ancient China, there were “four treasures of the study”—the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台). Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved.
The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao.
In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang, got to know Shanxi Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills.
It was easier said than done. It took the father and the son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones.
But the father and son did not stop here. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence of the Chengni inkstone.
1.What do we know about the Chengni inkstone?
A.It has quite a long history.
B.It was popular only in Shanxi Province.
C.It became famous in the late Qing Dynasty.
D.It first appeared during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
2.When did Lin Yongmao and LinTao win a gold prize?
A.In 1984. B.In 1986. C.In 1991. D.In 1994.
3.What’s the purpose (目的) of Paragraph 4?
A.To tell readers how to produce the Chengni inkstone.
B.To explain how hard it was to revive the Chengni inkstone.
C.To encourage readers to learn about China’s famous inkstones.
D.To help readers understand the importance of the Chengni inkstone.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Inkstones in ancient China B.Best inkstone makers in China
C.Bringing ancient skills back to life D.Introducing inkstones to the world

Passage4
(24-25七年级下·江苏南京·期中)阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。
Chinese folk art is like a bridge connecting the past and present. For thousands of years, Chinese people have created beautiful artworks to celebrate life, festivals, and hopes. Let’s explore some amazing forms of these traditions!
1. Paper Cutting: Windows Full of Wishes
Using simple tools like scissors and red paper, artists cut out delicate patterns. You might see blooming flowers, jumping fish, or the Chinese character Fu for good luck. During the Spring Festival, families stick paper cuttings on windows to welcome happiness. In rural villages, grandmothers still teach children this skill.
2. Clay Art: Stories Shaped by Hands
In Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province, artists mix clay with water and shape it into tigers, rabbits, or even heroes from Chinese stories. After drying, they paint the figures with bright colors like red, green, and gold. These clay toys are not just for play—people believe they can drive away bad luck.
3. Shadow Puppets: Dancing Silhouettes
Over 2,000 years ago, shadow puppetry began. Performers use leather puppets painted in bold colors. Behind a white cloth screen, they move the puppets’ arms and legs with sticks. At the same time, they sing old tales about kings, warriors, and dragons. Long before TV existed, this was “ancient Chinese cinema”!
4. Chinese Knots: Threads of Blessings
A single red silk thread can become a lucky knot! These knots have no beginning or end, symbolizing endless love and family unity. People hang them on doors during weddings or give them to friends as New Year gifts. Some complex knots even look like butterflies or flowers.
5. New Year Paintings: Colors of Joy
Before the Lunar New Year, families buy nianhua—bright paintings of plump babies, gods, or mountains. Artists print these paintings on woodblocks, then add colors by hand. People put them on walls to wish for health and a rich harvest.
Why Keep Folk Art Alive?
Today, museums and schools work together to protect these arts. Young artists mix traditional skills with modern designs. For example, some use paper cuttings to make birthday cards, while others create emoji-style clay figures. As the saying goes, “A country without old traditions is like a tree without roots.”
1.What do people use to make paper cuttings?
2.Why do Fengxiang clay toys have bright colors?
3.How old is shadow puppetry according to the text?
4.What do Chinese knots symbolize?
5.What are two ways people protect folk arts today? (不限字数)

Passage2
(24-25七年级下·江苏南京·期中)In ancient China, there were “four treasures of the study”—the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台). Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved.
The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao.
In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang, got to know Shanxi Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills.
It was easier said than done. It took the father and the son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones.
But the father and son did not stop here. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence of the Chengni inkstone.
1.What do we know about the Chengni inkstone?
A.It has quite a long history.
B.It was popular only in Shanxi Province.
C.It became famous in the late Qing Dynasty.
D.It first appeared during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
2.When did Lin Yongmao and LinTao win a gold prize?
A.In 1984. B.In 1986. C.In 1991. D.In 1994.
3.What’s the purpose (目的) of Paragraph 4?
A.To tell readers how to produce the Chengni inkstone.
B.To explain how hard it was to revive the Chengni inkstone.
C.To encourage readers to learn about China’s famous inkstones.
D.To help readers understand the importance of the Chengni inkstone.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Inkstones in ancient China B.Best inkstone makers in China
C.Bringing ancient skills back to life D.Introducing inkstones to the world
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文主要介绍蔺永茂父子是如何经历千辛万苦才恢复制作澄泥砚这项古老技艺,并将这一技艺传播的。
1.细节理解题。根据“The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty”可知,泥砚最早出现在西汉时期,即它有悠久的历史。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据“After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones.”可知,1991年他们成功制作了两块澄泥砚台。三年后,他们的澄泥砚台在中国著名砚台博览会上获得金奖,也就是1994年。故选D。
3.段落大意题。根据“It was easier said than done. It took the father and the son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. ”可知,父子俩花了两年时间才找到合适的材料来制作澄泥砚,这才仅是第一步;由此判断澄泥砚做起来比想象中难很多。故选B。
4.最佳标题题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍蔺永茂父子是如何经历千辛万苦才恢复制作澄泥砚这项古老技艺,并将这一技艺传播的;C选项“让古老的技艺复活”符合文意。故选C。

Passage4
(24-25七年级下·江苏南京·期中)阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。
Chinese folk art is like a bridge connecting the past and present. For thousands of years, Chinese people have created beautiful artworks to celebrate life, festivals, and hopes. Let’s explore some amazing forms of these traditions!
1. Paper Cutting: Windows Full of Wishes
Using simple tools like scissors and red paper, artists cut out delicate patterns. You might see blooming flowers, jumping fish, or the Chinese character Fu for good luck. During the Spring Festival, families stick paper cuttings on windows to welcome happiness. In rural villages, grandmothers still teach children this skill.
2. Clay Art: Stories Shaped by Hands
In Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province, artists mix clay with water and shape it into tigers, rabbits, or even heroes from Chinese stories. After drying, they paint the figures with bright colors like red, green, and gold. These clay toys are not just for play—people believe they can drive away bad luck.
3. Shadow Puppets: Dancing Silhouettes
Over 2,000 years ago, shadow puppetry began. Performers use leather puppets painted in bold colors. Behind a white cloth screen, they move the puppets’ arms and legs with sticks. At the same time, they sing old tales about kings, warriors, and dragons. Long before TV existed, this was “ancient Chinese cinema”!
4. Chinese Knots: Threads of Blessings
A single red silk thread can become a lucky knot! These knots have no beginning or end, symbolizing endless love and family unity. People hang them on doors during weddings or give them to friends as New Year gifts. Some complex knots even look like butterflies or flowers.
5. New Year Paintings: Colors of Joy
Before the Lunar New Year, families buy nianhua—bright paintings of plump babies, gods, or mountains. Artists print these paintings on woodblocks, then add colors by hand. People put them on walls to wish for health and a rich harvest.
Why Keep Folk Art Alive?
Today, museums and schools work together to protect these arts. Young artists mix traditional skills with modern designs. For example, some use paper cuttings to make birthday cards, while others create emoji-style clay figures. As the saying goes, “A country without old traditions is like a tree without roots.”
