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.

He didn’t just travel—he jumped into Chinese culture and had lots of fun! One of the coolest things he tried was Hunan embroidery (湘绣). In Changsha, Speed met a famous embroidery artist named Chang Ni. She showed him how to use a silver needle (银针) to stitch (缝) on silk. Speed gave it a try...and oops! His stitches were messy, and he laughed at himself. But he learned that even mistakes can be part of the art. Then he was amazed at the double-sided embroidery! This special style shows one picture on the front and a different one on the back all on the same cloth. Speed saw a piece with Yuelu Mountain on one side and another design on the other. He shouted, “That’s amazing! That’s different!” At the end, Chang Ni gave Speed a beautiful embroidered fan called Gentle Breeze (清风徐来). It was a gift of friendship. Speed didn’t stop there. He practiced Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple. He kicked, punched, and made everyone laugh with his funny moves. He also learned lion dancing and wore cool Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothes). Later in Shanghai, Speed watched a calligraphy show. Then he picked up a brush and tried it himself! He focused hard and carefully made each stroke. It was a quiet moment—different from his usual wild energy. One fan called him “a digital Marco Polo” (数码马可·波罗). Speed helped show the world that Chinese culture is still alive and exciting.

How would you show your love for your hometown? At the final of a national English-speaking competition, contestants from all, over China shared their own stories. Wang Siqi from Nanjing International School, Jiangsu, talked about her hometown Nanjing. “I used to live in the US, and my parents kept telling me everything about Nanjing. When I came back at age 9, I felt even closer to this city. Tasting its foods and hanging around in its universities, I was like a child who had missed her mom for too long, ” said Wang. “The competition gave me a great chance to show my love for Nanjing. ” Lan Yunjie, 15, from Shanghai Starriver Bilingual School, tried to change people’s stereotypes (刻板印象) about his hometown, Shanghai. “When talking about Shanghai, many people would think of words like ‘fast-paced (快节奏的)’ and ‘indifferent (冷漠的)’, but in fact, it’s a city full of kindness. I want to show others a different side of Shanghai, so I told stories of how people helped each other during Shanghai’s lockdown, ” said Lan. “I believe this is the power of public speaking,” Lan added. “By using logic and emotion, you can better share your opinions, promoting (增进) understanding and removing prejudice (消除偏见).” Yang Zihan, 14, born in Hong Kong, she mainly lives in Shenzhen. “Unlike other people who are so familiar with their hometown, my hometown is a ‘stranger’ to me. But thanks to the competition, I did a lot of research about Hong Kong and found out about its sad colonial (殖民地的) history and the local people’s brave fight.

As one of Forbes China’s top 100 outstanding craftsmen of 2024, he is turning ancient Chinese buildings into toys. Born in Shanxi, China, Liu loved visiting ancient temples and pagodas (寺庙和佛塔) near his hometown as a child. These buildings used a special woodworking skill called the mortise-and-tenon joint structure (榫卯结构). This skill has a history of over 7, 000 years. It puts pieces together without nails or glue (钉子和胶水). Liu thought the traditional structures were creative and amazing. He wanted people to touch and play with them, not just to look at them in museums. When he grew up, Liu came up with the idea of making mortise-and-tenon building blocks (积木). He started reading books and visiting ancient buildings to learn more. He tried to make small models of mortise-and-tenon structures using the same woodworking skill. But that was not easy. The small parts needed to fit perfectly to stay balanced. Liu tried many times and also learned from village craftsmen. In 2013, Liu finally created his first sets of building blocks. They sold out quickly online. Later, he opened his own workshop and used plastic (塑料) for some parts to lower costs. His cheapest set costs about 100 yuan, so more kids can afford to play with them. “This craft is part of Chinese culture. I’m glad to help keep it alive,” Liu says. He hopes his toys will help share China’s ancient wisdom (智慧) with the world. 1. Why did Liu decide to make mortise-and-tenon building blocks? A．To show his woodworking skills.

A．How did Liu learn to make the blocks? B．When did Liu finish his first works? C．Where did Liu learn about ancient building skills? D．What problems did Liu meet while creating the models? 3. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Liu’s building blocks are made of wood. B．Liu’s toy sets are really expensive but popular. C．Liu created his first sets of toys after opening the shop. D．Liu hopes to spread Chinese culture through his toys. 4. What is the best title for the passage? A．Meeting great craftsmen in China B．Turning ancient buildings into blocks C．Passing on traditional Chinese skills D．Studying mortise-and-tenon structures 12 / 12乐思英语 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $考前特训 期中考 阅读理解 仿真模拟 考前特训（江苏专用） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 特 训 范 围 Unit 1 Home Unit 2 Neighborhood Unit 3 My hometown Unit 4 Chinese folk art Passage 1 Are houses all the same?

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.

He didn’t just travel—he jumped into Chinese culture and had lots of fun! One of the coolest things he tried was Hunan embroidery (湘绣). In Changsha, Speed met a famous embroidery artist named Chang Ni. She showed him how to use a silver needle (银针) to stitch (缝) on silk. Speed gave it a try...and oops! His stitches were messy, and he laughed at himself. But he learned that even mistakes can be part of the art. Then he was amazed at the double-sided embroidery! This special style shows one picture on the front and a different one on the back all on the same cloth. Speed saw a piece with Yuelu Mountain on one side and another design on the other. He shouted, “That’s amazing! That’s different!” At the end, Chang Ni gave Speed a beautiful embroidered fan called Gentle Breeze (清风徐来). It was a gift of friendship. Speed didn’t stop there. He practiced Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple. He kicked, punched, and made everyone laugh with his funny moves. He also learned lion dancing and wore cool Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothes). Later in Shanghai, Speed watched a calligraphy show. Then he picked up a brush and tried it himself! He focused hard and carefully made each stroke. It was a quiet moment—different from his usual wild energy. One fan called him “a digital Marco Polo” (数码马可·波罗). Speed helped show the world that Chinese culture is still alive and exciting. By showing embroidery and other crafts on his channel (频道), he helped more people learn and care about them. Millions of young fans said they became interested in Chinese traditions after watching him. 1. The underlined word “messy” most likely means ________ . A．good B．clean C．colorful D．bad 2.

This special style shows one picture on the front and a different one on the back all on the same cloth.”可知，他惊讶于同一块布料上正反两面呈现不同的图案。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“In Changsha, Speed met a famous embroidery artist named Chang Ni. She showed him how to use a silver needle (银针) to stitch (缝) on silk. Speed gave it a try...and oops!”，“He practiced Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple.”和“Later in Shanghai, Speed watched a calligraphy show. Then he picked up a brush and tried it himself!

I want to show others a different side of Shanghai, so I told stories of how people helped each other during Shanghai’s lockdown, ” said Lan. “I believe this is the power of public speaking,” Lan added. “By using logic and emotion, you can better share your opinions, promoting (增进) understanding and removing prejudice (消除偏见).” Yang Zihan, 14, born in Hong Kong, she mainly lives in Shenzhen. “Unlike other people who are so familiar with their hometown, my hometown is a ‘stranger’ to me. But thanks to the competition, I did a lot of research about Hong Kong and found out about its sad colonial (殖民地的) history and the local people’s brave fight.

He said, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing.” I thanked him and rode home. That night, I thought about Mr. Wang. I realized that a dream home is not about how big or beautiful it is.

As one of Forbes China’s top 100 outstanding craftsmen of 2024, he is turning ancient Chinese buildings into toys. Born in Shanxi, China, Liu loved visiting ancient temples and pagodas (寺庙和佛塔) near his hometown as a child. These buildings used a special woodworking skill called the mortise-and-tenon joint structure (榫卯结构). This skill has a history of over 7, 000 years. It puts pieces together without nails or glue (钉子和胶水). Liu thought the traditional structures were creative and amazing. He wanted people to touch and play with them, not just to look at them in museums. When he grew up, Liu came up with the idea of making mortise-and-tenon building blocks (积木). He started reading books and visiting ancient buildings to learn more. He tried to make small models of mortise-and-tenon structures using the same woodworking skill. But that was not easy. The small parts needed to fit perfectly to stay balanced. Liu tried many times and also learned from village craftsmen. In 2013, Liu finally created his first sets of building blocks. They sold out quickly online. Later, he opened his own workshop and used plastic (塑料) for some parts to lower costs. His cheapest set costs about 100 yuan, so more kids can afford to play with them. “This craft is part of Chinese culture. I’m glad to help keep it alive,” Liu says. He hopes his toys will help share China’s ancient wisdom (智慧) with the world. 1. Why did Liu decide to make mortise-and-tenon building blocks? A．To show his woodworking skills.
