Since 2008， she’s led five groups of students across China to study its culture and history. 　　Gerard often reminds students that the trip is not a vacation — it’s an academic course. “Anyone interested in the trip must take an online course about the history of China before they can go，” she said. “And， most importantly， students continue to learn while in China. They’re expected to listen to guides， keep a diary and write about their experiences afterward.” 　　OTC student Ross Weis believed his experiences in China easily transcended （超越） anything he could have learned in the classroom. In fact， it was his long-held interest in China that led him to ask about the trip after seeing a poster in the OTC library. “I’ve always been drawn to China and its rich culture and history，” Weis said. “My dad studied history in college， and I suppose that has some influence on me.” 　　Of all the cities and historical sites Weis visited， he said nothing could top his experience at the Great Wall， “I’d read about the Great Wall and seen it on TV， but it is so different to go there and actually experience it，” he said. “It wasn’t as worn as I had expected it to be. That was pretty cool.” 　　Every OTC group Gerard has taken to China has been led by her trusty tourist agent， Jim Lieu. Gerard plans her trips directly through Lieu， who keeps travel costs down for students. “Lieu and I have an excellent relationship with one another. He always knows what I want for my students， and I know what he can do，” said Gerard， “He sincerely believes that in order to build stronger communities and a better world， people around the world should get to know each other through travel.” 1.What should the students do before their trip to China？（　　） A.Consult a native guide. B.Take a course online. C.Show their anxiety. D.Share their preparation. 2.Why did Ross Weis take the trip to China？（　　） A.Because he is interested in China. B.Because he loves traveling around the world. C.Because his friend invited him to China. D.Because his father inspired him to learn Chinese. 3.What can we know from the passage？（　　） A.Jessica Gerard is a geography instructor. B.Weis thinks the Great Wall is worn. C.Gerard plans her trips only by herself. D.Gerard’s led students to travel to China for about 17 years. 4.What does Gerard think of Jim Lieu？（　　） A.Brave. B.Patient. C.Helpful. D.Humorous. B 　　（2025·山西吕梁高二下期末）A 63-year-old Chinese carpenter’s （木匠） traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood， without glue， screws or nails. Wang Dewen， known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube， has been praised as the modern-day Lu Ban， a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty， thanks to his rich carpentry knowledge. 　　Grandpa Amu’s most popular video， which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge， has gone viral on YouTube， gaining more than 40 million views. “If you do something， you have to love it， and you have to be interested in it； however， being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain，” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills. 　　His most popular works include a folding stool， a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo， and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle， known as a Lu Ban lock. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon （榫卯） technique， which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge. 　　The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine. With over 1.17 million fans on YouTube， Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views. 　　His wonderful woodworking skills were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province. “The grandson is so happy， as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age，” commented one netizen， while another said， “It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on！” 5.What do we know about Grandpa Amu from the first paragraph？（　　） A.He is made fun of on the Internet. B.He aims at spreading Chinese culture. C.He has made a lot of fortune on the Internet. D.He is well known for his carpentry skills on the Internet. 6.What can we infer from Grandpa Amu’s words in paragraph 2？（　　） A.Outstanding skills lie in hard work. B.Success depends on passion. C.Interest brings not merely happiness. D.Theory is from practice. 7.What is the unique feature of Grandpa Amu’s craft works？（　　） A.The apple shape. B.No nails or glue. C.The folding stool. D.The wooden material. 8.What probably made Grandpa Amu work as a carpenter？（　　） A.His interest in woodworking. B.His grandson’s requirement. C.His support for his family. D.His wishes to pass on the traditional crafts. Ⅱ.阅读七选五 　　（2025·河北张家口高二下期末） How to Accept Odd or Extreme Cultural Practices 　　It’s likely that other cultures are， to some extent， different from the one you are in. But that doesn’t mean they are unacceptable. Understanding and accepting other cultures is about keeping your mind open and learning. 9.（　　）. 　　Your learning begins with a view of study or research， not as a foreigner or outsider. 10.（　　）. Let yourself wonder why something is happening instead of judging it — more often your original disgust （厌恶） or lack of acceptance is the cause of ignorance， not some horrible or unthinkable cultural practice. 　　You should try to understand the context of the differences， not just the differences themselves. There is a custom in many Nordic countries that accepts the cold and dead of winter with hope， instead of the “normal” practice of loving summer and sheltering up during winter. 11.（　　） — these nations have long， cold， and dark winters， and they’ve adjusted their cultural mindset accordingly. 　　There is usually a “purpose”， or main aim， of the cultural practices in question. There are very few things that people just “do” without a reason. 12.（　　）， like spiritual admiration or impressing the other sex， but that doesn’t mean it is coming out of nowhere. Every cultural practice comes from the desire to accomplish something， including the more extreme or difficult ones. Figuring out what that is will take you a long way towards understanding and admiring it. 　　13.（　　）. It is okay if you disagree or dislike a practice. Women still can’t drive in Saudi Arabia， a political choice born out of cultural differences between the sexes. While you can understand where this decision came from （historical sexist practices， certain readings of religious texts， etc.）， that doesn’t mean you have to accept it. A.That reason may be something abstract B.It’s strange， but it makes sense in context C.We are exposed to culture with similar origins D.In fact， a little knowledge is all it takes to accept extreme cultures E.The best way to understand cultural differences is an open， curious mind F.Look for the cultural similarities， finding the basic human behavior under it G.An understanding attitude doesn’t mean you have to love all about a culture Ⅲ.应用文写作 　　（2025·重庆渝中高二下期末）假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Jack所在的学校将举办中国传统文化节，他准备从以下三个节目中选其一表演：中国传统乐器演奏、中国传统服饰秀、中国传统才艺展示。现向你征求建议。请你给他写封邮件，内容包括：（1）你的建议；（2）你的理由。 注意：（1）写作词数应为80个左右；（2）请按如下格式作答。 Dear Jack， 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Yours， Li Hua 4 / 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Section Ⅲ　Developing ideas 基础知识自测 维度一 1.temple　2.tune　3.geniuses　4.kingdoms　5.enormous 维度二 1.Historians　2.romantic　3.priority 维度三 1.Prior to　2.On the whole　3.fall in love with 4.was determined to　5.Now that　6.come true 7.saw the recovery of his mother　8.the first time I saw her 维度四 1.①C　②F　③D　④A　⑤E　⑥B 2.v.带领，引导　3.v.调整 素养能力提升 Ⅰ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Ozarks Technical Community College（OTC）的历史讲师Jessica Gerard带领学生到中国进行文化和历史学习的经历，以及学生和导游的感受和看法。 1.B　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，学生去中国之前必须修读一门关于中国历史的在线课程。 2.A　细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句可知，Ross Weis是因为对中国及其丰富的文化和历史感兴趣才参加这次旅行的。 3.D　细节理解题。根据第一段末句可知，从 2008 年到现在大约是 17 年，Gerard带领学生去中国旅行已经有大约 17 年了。 4.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三、四句可以看出， Jim Lieu能帮学生降低旅行成本，而且很了解Gerard的需求。所以Gerard认为他是有帮助的。 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了网络上走红的63岁中国木匠“阿木爷爷”王德文，通过他的传统木工技艺展示，如不用钉子、螺丝或胶水制作精巧的木制品，尤其是在YouTube上的高人气视频，以及他对自己木工技能的热爱和背后的故事，体现了对传统工艺传承的关注。 5.D　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，阿木爷爷因其丰富的木工知识和精湛的木工技艺在互联网上广受赞誉，成为网络红人。所以他在网上以木工技艺闻名。 6.A　推理判断题。根据第二段阿木爷爷说的话可知，阿木爷爷认为做一件事要热爱并对其感兴趣，但兴趣不仅仅意味着快乐，没有痛苦。由此可推出，阿木爷爷认为卓越的技能背后需要辛勤的努力。 7.B　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句以及全文内容可知，阿木爷爷的工艺品独特之处在于采用中国古代的榫卯技术，整个制作过程不使用钉子和胶水。 8.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段首句可知，阿木爷爷从 13 岁开始学木工是为了养家糊口，所以是为了养活家庭才成为木匠的。 Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了接受奇怪或极端的文化习俗的一些方法。 9.D　上文提到理解和接受其他文化需要保持开放的心态并不断学习。D项 （事实上，接受极端文化只需要一点知识） 承接上文，说明通过学习知识可以帮助我们接受不同的文化，即使是极端文化，与上文逻辑连贯。 10.E　根据上文可知，学习要从研究的角度出发，而不是以外来者的身份审视。E项 （理解文化差异的最佳方式是保持开放、好奇的心态） 进一步说明以怎样的心态去进行学习研究。E项中 open， curious mind 与上文的 study or research 相呼应。 11.B　上文提到北欧国家有在冬天充满希望地接受寒冷和死寂的习俗，这与通常人们喜爱夏天、在冬天躲起来的做法不同。B项 （这很奇怪，但在这种背景下是有道理的）中 strange 对应上文这种不同寻常的习俗，makes sense in context 引出下文对北欧国家这种习俗存在的合理性的解释。 12.A　上文提到文化习俗通常都有其目的或原因，很少有事情是人们毫无理由去做的。A项 （那个原因可能是一些抽象的东西）承接上文，进一步说明原因可能的性质，且与下文like spiritual admiration or impressing the other sex这些抽象的原因举例相呼应。 13.G　根据下文以及所举的沙特阿拉伯女性不能开车的例子可知，虽然我们可以理解某种文化习俗的来源，但不意味着我们必须接受它。G项 （理解的态度并不意味着你必须喜欢一种文化的所有方面） 符合文意，能够统领该段内容。 Ⅲ. Dear Jack， 　　Glad to hear about your culture festival！ I strongly recommend the traditional Chinese instrument performance. 　　Considering your three-year experience learning the erhu， this choice perfectly showcases both your skills and China’s musical heritage. The erhu’s soulful tones， especially in classics like “Two Springs Reflecting the Moon”， deeply convey Chinese artistic spirit. Its emotional resonance would captivate audiences more directly than costumes or general talent displays. Moreover， live music creates immediate cultural immersion. 　　You’ll surely impress everyone！ Thank you for considering my suggestion. Yours， Li Hua 4 / 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
