It appeared during the Northern Dynasties. So it has a history of about 1,500 years. At first, paper-cuttings were only popular in the countryside, and the masters were farmers’ wives. Traditional paper-cuttings were first put on windows for decoration. This is why they’re also called “window flowers”. Most paper-cuttings are made of red paper, because red means good luck in Chinese culture. Today, people use paper-cuttings to decorate not only windows, but also mirrors, lamps and other furniture. Paper-cuttings are popular because of their expressions of good wishes and hopes. During the Spring Festival, for example, many people put up paper-cuttings of the Chinese character “Fu” upside down. They hope that this will bring them good luck. At wedding ceremonies, you can always see paper-cuttings of the character “Xi”. It means that the couple can enjoy double happiness together. Paper-cuttings have developed different styles in different parts of China. Paper-cuttings from the northern parts usually have interesting shapes and rich patterns. In southern China, people prefer elegant paper-cuttings. They focus more on the themes of flowers, fruit, birds and fish. It is quite easy to learn how to make paper-cuttings. With a piece of paper and a knife or a pair of scissors, you can try to make your own paper art. You can only make one piece at a time by using a knife.

Why is it red? In China, people always love red. In our ideas, red is hope and life, so red is our favourite.We can see red everywhere in China. The walls of old palaces are red.

With great love for traditional literature, Eastern symbols, and Shanshui paintings, Ye creates paper artworks that bridge the past and present. Using simple tools like scissors and a knife, he turns paper into famous scenes in Chinese culture. “Paper-cutting allows me to express my understanding of life and the world,” Ye says. Born in a place known as the “hometown of paper-cutting”, Ye developed his interest in the craft as a child. Although he was born into a poor family, he managed to keep his hobby by using materials from paper boxes. However, when he grew up, he faced pressure to choose a career (事业) that provides enough money for living. After working different jobs—from waiter to tea seller—he gave up his job in 2011 to focus exclusively on paper-cutting. “Life is only meaningful if you do what you love,” he explains. Ye’s journey was not easy. In 2012, his first exhibition, which he had spent tens of thousands of yuan to hold, sold only one piece for 328 yuan.“There was a moment when I thought about giving up, but I believed in the value of my craft,” he says. His workshop, Yile Paper-Cutting Art, now creates pieces mixing tradition with modern art. Different from the traditional way of the craft, in which the drawing is done first and then the cutting, he splashes (洒) black, red or yellow ink on rice paper, then draws detailed designs and finally cuts out the paper creation. “The unexpected pattern is the most interesting part, and I think being natural is beautiful,” he says. The creative way is usually slow. It usually takes Ye at least two weeks to complete a paper-cutting work. His hard work made him well-known around the world and UNESCO listed Zhangpu paper-cutting as intangible cultural heritage in 2010. “I want to bring paper-cutting to daily life, letting more people get to know the craft,” Ye says, showing that ancient crafts can keep alive in the modern world. 1．What does the underlined word “exclusively” mean in paragraph 2? A．Usually. B．Slowly. C．Carefully. D．Completely. 2．Why did Ye give up his job to focus on paper-cutting? A．Because his job didn’t provide him with enough money. B．Because his value in paper-cutting was well-known. C．Because he wanted to turn his hobby into his career. D．Because he was offered a job in Yile Paper-Cutting Art. 3．What did Ye do when he was faced with career problems at the beginning? A．He used the money he made to support his career. B．He reminded himself that his work was valuable. C．He asked for help from his friends and relatives. D．He held exhibitions to tell people about his work. 4．Which of the following is the correct order of Ye’s way of creating paper-cutting works according to paragraph 4? ①Design the shape of the paper.  ②Draw out the lines on the paper. ③Splash ink on the rice paper.  ④Cut out the shape.

Tea is no stranger to us Chinese people at all. But how much do you know about tea sets? Do you know they have changed a lot over time? In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty. In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are included. The tea sets in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). At that time, a competitive game based on tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck and a mouth that was not straight. The mouth could help the players control water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people since the color matched the tea better and the thickness of the cup helped keep the tea warm. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple, and those made of gold and silver slowly disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu, began to flourish and were loved widely. It's said that tea made with Yixing purple clay tea sets still tastes good after being kept in the teapot for one night, even in a hot summer. 1．How does the writer start the passage?

A．to grow well (especially plants) B．to be healthy and happy C．to develop quickly and be successful, or common D．to wave (摇晃) sth. around in a way that makes people look at it 5．What's the best title for this passage? A．Tea Sets of Different Shapes B．The Development of Tea Sets C．Good Tea Sets Make Good Tea D．Tea Sets with Different Materials ①On my way back home, I was drawn by a familiar sweet aroma (香味) to an old man making sugar paintings on a little stool (凳子). I walked straight towards him without a second thought. ②Nothing is better than the sugar painting to me. Watching the process of making a sugar painting is a true feast (盛宴) for my eyes. ③The old man, with his great skills, created delicate sugar paintings with simple tools, including a small pot, a spoon, a table and some malt sugar (麦芽糖). The sweet smell flew into my nose slowly as the sugar was melted in the pot. After knowing what to paint, the old man scooped (挖，舀) a spoonful of sugar and put the spoon above the table. He moved the spoon a little, and then quickly moved his hands before malt sugar got hard. The golden liquid was scattered (分散) accordingly, thick or thin. It was shortly after the old man moved his hands up or down, fast or slowly that a wonderful painting appeared in front of me. Amazing! ④Can you imagine such a lively painting being finished in such a short time? Before malt sugar was completely cold, a thin stick was pressed on the sugar, making it easy to hold. ⑤I bought two sugar paintings—a monkey (for my son) and a heart (for me). Taking a bite, I was reminded of my childhood. In those days, I held Mom’s hand, squeezed through (挤过) crowds in the park, and watched the amazing sugar painting process. Mom always bought me a dragon one, the biggest and sweetest. Filled with joy, we went back home.

Traditional paper-cuttings were first put on windows for decoration. This is why they’re also called “window flowers”. Most paper-cuttings are made of red paper, because red means good luck in Chinese culture. Today, people use paper-cuttings to decorate not only windows, but also mirrors, lamps and other furniture. Paper-cuttings are popular because of their expressions of good wishes and hopes. During the Spring Festival, for example, many people put up paper-cuttings of the Chinese character “Fu” upside down. They hope that this will bring them good luck. At wedding ceremonies, you can always see paper-cuttings of the character “Xi”. It means that the couple can enjoy double happiness together. Paper-cuttings have developed different styles in different parts of China. Paper-cuttings from the northern parts usually have interesting shapes and rich patterns. In southern China, people prefer elegant paper-cuttings. They focus more on the themes of flowers, fruit, birds and fish. It is quite easy to learn how to make paper-cuttings.

With great love for traditional literature, Eastern symbols, and Shanshui paintings, Ye creates paper artworks that bridge the past and present. Using simple tools like scissors and a knife, he turns paper into famous scenes in Chinese culture. “Paper-cutting allows me to express my understanding of life and the world,” Ye says. Born in a place known as the “hometown of paper-cutting”, Ye developed his interest in the craft as a child. Although he was born into a poor family, he managed to keep his hobby by using materials from paper boxes. However, when he grew up, he faced pressure to choose a career (事业) that provides enough money for living. After working different jobs—from waiter to tea seller—he gave up his job in 2011 to focus exclusively on paper-cutting. “Life is only meaningful if you do what you love,” he explains. Ye’s journey was not easy. In 2012, his first exhibition, which he had spent tens of thousands of yuan to hold, sold only one piece for 328 yuan.“There was a moment when I thought about giving up, but I believed in the value of my craft,” he says. His workshop, Yile Paper-Cutting Art, now creates pieces mixing tradition with modern art. Different from the traditional way of the craft, in which the drawing is done first and then the cutting, he splashes (洒) black, red or yellow ink on rice paper, then draws detailed designs and finally cuts out the paper creation. “The unexpected pattern is the most interesting part, and I think being natural is beautiful,” he says. The creative way is usually slow. It usually takes Ye at least two weeks to complete a paper-cutting work. His hard work made him well-known around the world and UNESCO listed Zhangpu paper-cutting as intangible cultural heritage in 2010. “I want to bring paper-cutting to daily life, letting more people get to know the craft,” Ye says, showing that ancient crafts can keep alive in the modern world. 1．What does the underlined word “exclusively” mean in paragraph 2? A．Usually. B．Slowly. C．Carefully. D．Completely. 2．Why did Ye give up his job to focus on paper-cutting? A．Because his job didn’t provide him with enough money. B．Because his value in paper-cutting was well-known. C．Because he wanted to turn his hobby into his career. D．Because he was offered a job in Yile Paper-Cutting Art. 3．What did Ye do when he was faced with career problems at the beginning? A．He used the money he made to support his career. B．He reminded himself that his work was valuable. C．He asked for help from his friends and relatives. D．He held exhibitions to tell people about his work. 4．Which of the following is the correct order of Ye’s way of creating paper-cutting works according to paragraph 4? ①Design the shape of the paper.  ②Draw out the lines on the paper. ③Splash ink on the rice paper.  ④Cut out the shape. A．②①③④ B．②④③① C．③②①④ D．③①②④ 5．What is the writing purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a paper-cutting lover. B．To teach us the way to make paper-cutting.

But how much do you know about tea sets? Do you know they have changed a lot over time? In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty. In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are included. The tea sets in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). At that time, a competitive game based on tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck and a mouth that was not straight. The mouth could help the players control water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people since the color matched the tea better and the thickness of the cup helped keep the tea warm. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple, and those made of gold and silver slowly disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu, began to flourish and were loved widely.

Watching the process of making a sugar painting is a true feast (盛宴) for my eyes. ③The old man, with his great skills, created delicate sugar paintings with simple tools, including a small pot, a spoon, a table and some malt sugar (麦芽糖). The sweet smell flew into my nose slowly as the sugar was melted in the pot. After knowing what to paint, the old man scooped (挖，舀) a spoonful of sugar and put the spoon above the table. He moved the spoon a little, and then quickly moved his hands before malt sugar got hard. The golden liquid was scattered (分散) accordingly, thick or thin. It was shortly after the old man moved his hands up or down, fast or slowly that a wonderful painting appeared in front of me. Amazing! ④Can you imagine such a lively painting being finished in such a short time? Before malt sugar was completely cold, a thin stick was pressed on the sugar, making it easy to hold. ⑤I bought two sugar paintings—a monkey (for my son) and a heart (for me). Taking a bite, I was reminded of my childhood. In those days, I held Mom’s hand, squeezed through (挤过) crowds in the park, and watched the amazing sugar painting process.
