The Forbidden City was built from 1406 to 1420. The palace has numerous rooms. There were places where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers. In Mandarin(普通话),the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the colour of the palace itself is not purple.The colour purple stands for the power of the great emperors of China. The palace was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in. The emperor also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City.During the Chinese New Year,the emperor would invite the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet usually had over 100 Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代). Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historic site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques(古董)and treasures.I really learned a lot about Chinese culture and its history from this trip to the Forbidden City. Going on the trip and seeing the things that I had always wanted to see were like a dream come true. ( )1. How long is the history of the Forbidden City? A. About 500 years. B. More than 600 years. C. 1,420 years. D.1,406 years. ( )2. We call the palace the Purple Forbidden City because the colour purple stands for the_ of the emperor. A. power B. honesty C. wealth D. health ( )3.What's the meaning of the underlined word "banquet" in Paragraph 4? A. An important competition. B. A wonderful performance. C. An exciting speech. D. A formal dinner. ( )4. Which of the following is not true about the Forbidden City in the passage? A. The emperor lived there. B. The wall of the Forbidden City is purple C. It is a historical place to visit. D. The emperor had festival celebrations there. B Have you ever wondered what else you can do on the train besides sleeping or scrolling through your phone? Actually, in China, trains have turned into centres which bring together the public and the nation's intangible cultural heritage( ICH). Trains go across China and they are becoming ideal places for introducing local traditional culture. A good example is the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. On the ICH train, Gulayier, dressed in traditional clothes, sang Oroqen folk songs and his partner played the Oroqen jaw harp, a musical instrument. Tourists on the train, especially those from southern China,sang and danced excitedly with the two performers(表演者)together.Gulayier said the train made it easier to hold tourists' attention to his shows.He thought the train was a good platform for promoting(促进)ICH. Traditional heritage comes to life on trains. More ICH such as Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing, Yulin puppet shows, and tea-picking operas in Guangxi has also made appearances on high-speed trains across China. It offers passengers a close-up way to experience traditional culture. Professor Xiao Fang from Beijing Normal University shares Gulayier's opinion on the new use of ICH trains. He has pointed out another advantage of this. Beyond cultural promotion, it offers help for tourism. When passengers enjoy local traditions on board, they often develop a deeper interest in exploring the places they pass through. However, the ICH train journeys still have challenges, including the narrow space on trains and passengers getting on and off at each station. Therefore, some solutions are coming up- cultural corners show traditional arts, and QR codes connect to more digital information. These help passengers to explore ICH at their own pace and continue learning after their journey ends. The success of ICH trains offers valuable lessons for cultural protection worldwide, proving that innovation(革新)and tradition can work together to keep cultural heritage alive for future generations. ( )1. What is the fresh experience for passengers on the K7041 train? A. Travelling farther north. B. Joining in live shows. C.Wearing traditional clothes. D. Having fun on the phone. ( )2. What do Gulayier and Professor Xiao both agree? A. ICH encourages more local visits. B. Trains help make ICH more popular. B. ICH improves the Chinese train journeys. D. Passengers welcome performers on ICH trains. ( )3. What does Paragraph 5 mention about the ICH train journeys? A. Their features and influence. B.Their reasons C. Their problems and methods. D. Their future and improvement. ( )4. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Trains push China's cultural heritage further B. China puts arms around local artists on ICH trains C. More ICH trains begin running on railways in China D. Train passengers share different local cultures of China 四 词汇运用 1.The traffic lights are controlled by a _(中央的) computer. 2.What other people think of you is none of your_ (生意). 3.Can you_ (想象)what life might be like without mobile phones or internet? 4.

Whether it's on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there're people on buses, the Tube,cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there's a new way of transport-electric scooters(e-scooters). This traditional children's vehicle(交通工具) has become more advanced over the years. And now,scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it's no wonder that they're becoming more and more popular in cities around the world. But following a lot of traffic accidents caused by electric scooters in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed. Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements and others on the road jumping red traffic lights, making the car drivers annoyed. In the UK,the law states that anyone mustn't ride a scooter on the public highway or pavement.The police will fine (罚款)the riders up to ￡300 and take away six points on their driving licence(执照) for doing so. But, despite (尽管) this,it seems that there're still many young people on e-scooters everywhere. And now users are calling on rules to be changed. The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is reviewing the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has said,"E-scooters are appearing in countries around the world and are an exciting innovation for which we know there is need. However,safety must always be in our mind when they are used on public highways in this country." It's true that there are dangers of riding a two-wheeled scooter. Despite the fact that only a few e-scooters can be faster than 30 mph, they sometimes only have one brake and no lights. They also become dangerous if the riders hit something, and however confident the riders may be, larger vehicles on the road make them easy to be hurt. So it seems that more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe space to travel in. 1. How many ways of transport does the writer mention in Paragraph 1? _ 2. Why do more and more people like riding e-scooters? _ 3.How will the police in the UK punish(处罚) the people riding e-scooters on the public highways or pavements? _ 4.What does Michael Ellis think we must always keep in our mind? _ 6.What do you think of riding e-scooters? _ 六 缺词填空 For many Shanghai locals, no Spring Festival holiday is complete without a visit to the Chenghuang Miao area. Once you step into the Fu You Men Commodity Market(福佑门小商品市场),you are greeted by a warm, lively atmosphere.Some stalls(货摊)are decorated with lanterns and Chinese knots(中国结).Others are busy s_1_fun fridge magnets(冰箱贴),lovely bag charms(包饰) and cute plushies(毛绒玩具) featuring the horse-the zodiac animal for this Chinese New Year. But one of the most popular products this winter took o_2_ for an unexpected reason: its crying face. The "crying horse" plushie first appeared in a shop in Yiwu, Zhejiang. Like many other horse toys, it has short legs, a golden bell around its neck and lettering on its side that reads, "Wishing you immediate wealth."W_3_ sets it apart is a sewing error(缝纫错误):Its mouth is upside down, turning a cheerful smile into a sorrowful expression. Surprisingly, many people favor the "crying horse," finding it more relatable. "When things don't go well, seeing its expression comforts me," said Ms. Zhu, a young woman in Tianjin. "It feels like I'm not alone." The "crying horse" is not a_4_ in offering emotional comfort and winning hearts, though. A similar gift product is "Ma Biaobiao," or the "messy little horse," from the Shandong Art Museum. It stands out for its loose and arefree hairstyle. Unlike the "crying horse," "Ma Biaobiao" is inspired(赋予灵感)by a horse painting by Chinese artist Qi Baishi. Its design is no accident. Many people compare it to t_5_ when rushing to work in the morning without time to brush their hair. B_6_the world of horses, fans of the hugely popular Labubu dolls may find this sense of uniqueness(与众不同)familiar.They hug these little elves partly because of their so-called "ugly cutenes." It may seem strange that imperfect items are becoming so popular, but this trend mirrors our true selves. Like Labubu, many of us are born "i_7_ ,”with crooked(长歪了的)teeth or small eyes. And in daily life, n_8_ of us can be happy, neat or patient all the time. But it's only human to be "imperfect" and sometimes to lose our temper. We might also be r_9_of the value of being unique. In a competitive world, it does you no good to always play it safe. For your next art project or piece of writing, why not take a small r_10_ and let your creative side shine? 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
