It has a long-standing history, dating back to the 6th century. In ancient times, paper-cutting was often used for religious (宗教的) and ceremonial (仪式的) purposes. As time went by, it gradually became a form of decoration for everyday life. The art of paper-cutting mainly uses paper as the material. Skilled artisans (工匠) use scissors or knives to cut paper into various patterns. These patterns can include flowers, birds, animals, and even stories from Chinese legends and history. For example, the pattern of a fish often symbolizes surplus (盈余) and prosperity (繁荣) in Chinese culture, because the pronunciation of “fish” in Chinese is similar to the word for “surplus”. In different regions of China, paper-cutting has its own unique styles. The northern style is usually bold and simple, with strong lines and a focus on expressing the general shape and spirit of the subject. On the other hand, the southern style is more delicate and intricate (错综复杂的), with fine-detailed patterns that show the superb skills of the artisans. Today, paper-cutting is not only still popular in Chinese homes during festivals like the Spring Festival, when people paste paper-cuttings on windows and doors to add a festive atmosphere, but it has also gained international recognition. Many art exhibitions around the world feature Chinese paper-cutting works, allowing people from different cultures to appreciate the charm and beauty of this traditional art form. 1．When did paper-cutting first appear?

In Chinese culture, the dragon, named “Long”, holds a special place. It has a special appearance, looking like a huge, long snake combined with various animal parts. For example, it has the tail of a fish, which helps it swim gracefully in water. The scales (鳞) of a fish cover its body, giving it a shiny and protective surface. Its long neck is similar to that of a snake, allowing for flexible movement. Chinese dragons are often wingless, but they have the magical ability to rocket up and fly through the sky. They stand for many positive qualities. In the past, they are the symbols (象征) of power. Emperors and kings were considered as sons of dragons, showing their noble (尊贵的) position. Also, Chinese farmers, who depended on good weather for their crops, used to offer sacrifices (祭祀品) like sheep to dragon gods. They hoped that the dragons would bring favorable weather, and thus good harvests. Moreover, dragons are believed to bring good fortune. You can often see dragon pictures on New Year decorations or at other traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival. In Western culture. dragons are very different. They are giant creatures that can breathe fire and destroy life. Their large bat-like wings carry them to the sky. Their bodies are covered in lizard-like scales, and their tails often have a sharp tip. Western dragons are usually related to evil. In medieval times (中世纪), they were seen as symbols of the devil, and the devil was even called “the great dragon”. Knights (骑士) would be celebrated as the bravest heroes when they killed dragons. In a word, the dragons of Chinese and Western cultures reveal the large differences between these two worlds. While Chinese dragons are seen as symbols of strength, wisdom, and good fortune, the Western dragons are often described as wicked, fire-breathing beasts. Whether as a protector of the world or a fearsome enemy, the dragon remains a timeless and fascinating fictional creature, inviting us to explore the depths of our own culture and imagination. 1．Which of the following is NOT a feature of Chinese dragons described in the passage? A．They have lizard-like scales. B．They have a long, flexible neck. C．They can fly without wings. D．They have the tail of a fish. 2．Why did Chinese farmers offer sacrifices to dragon gods? A．To get protection from wild animals. B．To show respect to the emperor. C．To ensure good weather and harvests. D．To celebrate Chinese New Year. 3．How are dragons described in Western culture? A．As magical and protective beings. B．As wingless and gentle creatures. C．As evil and fire-breathing beasts. D．As common signs of good fortune. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

As time went by, it gradually became a form of decoration for everyday life. The art of paper-cutting mainly uses paper as the material. Skilled artisans (工匠) use scissors or knives to cut paper into various patterns. These patterns can include flowers, birds, animals, and even stories from Chinese legends and history. For example, the pattern of a fish often symbolizes surplus (盈余) and prosperity (繁荣) in Chinese culture, because the pronunciation of “fish” in Chinese is similar to the word for “surplus”. In different regions of China, paper-cutting has its own unique styles. The northern style is usually bold and simple, with strong lines and a focus on expressing the general shape and spirit of the subject. On the other hand, the southern style is more delicate and intricate (错综复杂的), with fine-detailed patterns that show the superb skills of the artisans. Today, paper-cutting is not only still popular in Chinese homes during festivals like the Spring Festival, when people paste paper-cuttings on windows and doors to add a festive atmosphere, but it has also gained international recognition.

Dragons have long held the imagination of both Chinese and Western cultures, but they have very different looks and meanings that set them apart. In Chinese culture, the dragon, named “Long”, holds a special place. It has a special appearance, looking like a huge, long snake combined with various animal parts. For example, it has the tail of a fish, which helps it swim gracefully in water. The scales (鳞) of a fish cover its body, giving it a shiny and protective surface. Its long neck is similar to that of a snake, allowing for flexible movement. Chinese dragons are often wingless, but they have the magical ability to rocket up and fly through the sky. They stand for many positive qualities. In the past, they are the symbols (象征) of power. Emperors and kings were considered as sons of dragons, showing their noble (尊贵的) position. Also, Chinese farmers, who depended on good weather for their crops, used to offer sacrifices (祭祀品) like sheep to dragon gods. They hoped that the dragons would bring favorable weather, and thus good harvests. Moreover, dragons are believed to bring good fortune. You can often see dragon pictures on New Year decorations or at other traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival. In Western culture. dragons are very different. They are giant creatures that can breathe fire and destroy life. Their large bat-like wings carry them to the sky. Their bodies are covered in lizard-like scales, and their tails often have a sharp tip. Western dragons are usually related to evil. In medieval times (中世纪), they were seen as symbols of the devil, and the devil was even called “the great dragon”. Knights (骑士) would be celebrated as the bravest heroes when they killed dragons. In a word, the dragons of Chinese and Western cultures reveal the large differences between these two worlds. While Chinese dragons are seen as symbols of strength, wisdom, and good fortune, the Western dragons are often described as wicked, fire-breathing beasts. Whether as a protector of the world or a fearsome enemy, the dragon remains a timeless and fascinating fictional creature, inviting us to explore the depths of our own culture and imagination. 1．Which of the following is NOT a feature of Chinese dragons described in the passage? A．They have lizard-like scales. B．They have a long, flexible neck. C．They can fly without wings. D．They have the tail of a fish. 2．Why did Chinese farmers offer sacrifices to dragon gods?
