Eight-year-old Wang Siyuan was thrilled to visit a science museum in Hefei on the first day of his holiday. “It feels like we’re walking in space!” he said excitedly. Spring break usually happens around the Qingming Festival in early April. So far this year, nearly 100 cities across China—like those in Jiangsu, Anhui, and Sichuan—have started giving students a 6- to 8-day vacation by combining Qingming with extra days off. Unlike regular holidays, schools give little or no written homework during spring break. Instead, they encourage outdoor activities, family time, and hands-on learning. In Nanjing, children can join nature walks or visit cultural sites. In Hefei, some explore science museum to learn about new technologies. The idea began in Hangzhou in 2004 and has grown since China’s “double reduction” policy eased schoolwork pressure. Now, even companies are helping—some offer parents paid leave so families can travel together. Travel bookings have risen sharply, especially for museums, zoos, and theme parks. Experts say today’s spring trips focus more on fun experiences than just sightseeing. As one teacher put it: “This break helps students relax, learn outside class, and grow happily.” 翻译： 今年四月，许多中国学生首次迎来了属于自己的春假！八岁的王思源在假期第一天就兴奋地参观了合肥的一家科技馆。“感觉就像在太空中漫步！”他激动地说。 春假通常安排在四月初的清明节前后。截至目前，全国已有近百座城市——如江苏、安徽和四川等地——通过将清明节与额外调休相结合，为学生提供6至8天的假期。 与传统假期不同，学校在春假期间基本不布置或只布置少量书面作业，而是鼓励学生参与户外活动、陪伴家人、进行实践学习。在南京，孩子们可以参加自然探索或参观文化景点；在合肥，一些学生则走进科技馆，了解前沿科技。 这一做法最早始于2004年的杭州，随着“双减”政策减轻学业负担，春假逐渐推广开来。如今，不少企业也积极参与，为有孩子的员工提供带薪假期，方便全家出行。 春假带动旅游预订量大幅上升，博物馆、动物园和主题公园尤其受欢迎。专家指出，如今的春季出游更注重趣味体验，而非单纯观光。正如一位老师所说：“这段假期让学生放松身心，在课堂之外学习，快乐成长。” 【长难句分析】 1. Unlike regular holidays, schools give little or no written homework during spring break. 这是一个简单句（主谓宾结构+状语），句首“Unlike regular holidays”为介词短语作比较状语，意为“与常规假期不同”，during spring break：介词短语作时间状语。 2. The idea began in Hangzhou in 2004 and has grown since China’s “double reduction” policy eased schoolwork pressure. 这是一个并列复合句，由and连接两个谓语部分，后半句包含since引导的时间状语从句，表示“自从……以来”。 【重难词汇梳理】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 thrilled /θrɪld/ adj. 兴奋的；激动的 combine /kəmˈbaɪn/ v.结合；联合 encourage /ɪnˈkɜːrɪdʒ/ v.鼓励 policy /ˈpɒləsi/ n.政策 sharply /ˈʃɑːpli/ adv. 急剧地；明显地 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 【读后练习】 Ⅰ.

She has changed the story and made it new, trying to show it from the view of young people. Her film is about young people and their dreams. Hu Mei said, “My movie is just one way to see this story. There is a saying, ‘There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes.’ My version may not be the best, but I hope it will make people want to learn more about this great book.” People on the Internet have different ideas about the movie. Some say Zhang Miaoyi did not play Lin Daiyu like the real person. Others do not like the clothes and the places in the movie. “I wanted to make this story popular again and get people talking about it,” said Hu Mei. Dream of the Red Chamber, written by Cao Xueqin in the 18th century, tells the story of four big families. The book cares a lot about the lives of many women characters in a society long ago. This book is very important in Chinese culture. It has beautiful poetry, art, and ideas about buildings, gardens, paintings, and music. It’s like a book that shows everything about traditional Chinese culture. Dream of the Red Chamber is a treasure in Chinese literature and one of the four great classical novels. There is even a special study about it. There have been many TV shows based on this book, but the 1987 CCTV version is the most loved and well-known. Its story, music, and way of telling the story have made it a big success in Chinese TV shows. 胡玫导演的新电影《红楼梦》改编自中国经典小说，成为网络上的热门话题。她改变了故事，使其焕然一新，试图从年轻人的视角来展示。她的电影是关于年轻人和他们的梦想。 胡玫说：”我的电影只是看这个故事的一种方式。有句俗话说，‘一千个读者眼中有一千个哈姆雷特。’我的版本可能不是最好的，但我希望它能让人们想要更多地了解这本伟大的书。” 网上的人们对于这部电影有不同的看法。有人说张淼怡没有像真人一样扮演林黛玉。其他人不喜欢电影中的衣服和地点。 胡玫说：“我想让这个故事再次流行起来，并让人们谈论它。” 《红楼梦》是曹雪芹在18世纪写的，讲述了四大家族的故事。这本书非常关心很久以前社会中许多女性角色的生活。 这本书在中国文化中非常重要。它有美丽的诗歌、艺术和关于建筑、园林、绘画和音乐的思想。它就像一本书，展示了关于中国传统文化的一切。《红楼梦》是中国文学的宝藏，也是四大古典小说之一。甚至还有专门研究它的学问。 有很多电视节目是基于这本书的，但1987年央视版是最受欢迎和最知名的。它的故事、音乐和讲故事的方式使它在中国电视节目中取得了巨大的成功。 【长难句分析】 1. She has changed the story and made it new, trying to show it from the view of young people. 这是一个复合句，包含两个并列的谓语动词“changed”和“made”。“trying to show it from the view of young people”是一个现在分词短语，作为伴随状语，表示同时发生的动作。 2. It’s like a book that shows everything about traditional Chinese culture. 这是一个简单句，包含定语从句“that shows everything about traditional Chinese culture”修饰“a book”。“that”是关系代词，引导定语从句。 3. There have been many TV shows based on this book, but the 1987 CCTV version is the most loved and well-known. 这是一个并列句，由“but”连接两个独立的句子。第一个句子“There have been many TV shows based on this book”使用了现在完成时态。第二个句子“the 1987 CCTV version is the most loved and well-known”是一个简单句，描述了1987年CCTV版本的受欢迎程度。 【重难词汇梳理】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 classic /ˈklæsɪk/ adj. 经典的 view /vjuː/ n. 观点 version /ˈvɜːrʒn/ n. 版本 character /ˈkærɪktər/ n. 角色 society /səˈsaɪəti/ n. 社会 treasure /ˈtreʒər/ n. 珍宝 literature /ˈlɪtərətʃər/ n. 文学 classical /ˈklæsɪkəl/ adj. 古典的 【读后练习】 I.

Spring break usually happens around the Qingming Festival in early April. So far this year, nearly 100 cities across China—like those in Jiangsu, Anhui, and Sichuan—have started giving students a 6- to 8-day vacation by combining Qingming with extra days off. Unlike regular holidays, schools give little or no written homework during spring break. Instead, they encourage outdoor activities, family time, and hands-on learning. In Nanjing, children can join nature walks or visit cultural sites. In Hefei, some explore science museum to learn about new technologies. The idea began in Hangzhou in 2004 and has grown since China’s “double reduction” policy eased schoolwork pressure. Now, even companies are helping—some offer parents paid leave so families can travel together. Travel bookings have risen sharply, especially for museums, zoos, and theme parks. Experts say today’s spring trips focus more on fun experiences than just sightseeing. As one teacher put it: “This break helps students relax, learn outside class, and grow happily.” 翻译： 今年四月，许多中国学生首次迎来了属于自己的春假！八岁的王思源在假期第一天就兴奋地参观了合肥的一家科技馆。“感觉就像在太空中漫步！”他激动地说。 春假通常安排在四月初的清明节前后。截至目前，全国已有近百座城市——如江苏、安徽和四川等地——通过将清明节与额外调休相结合，为学生提供6至8天的假期。 与传统假期不同，学校在春假期间基本不布置或只布置少量书面作业，而是鼓励学生参与户外活动、陪伴家人、进行实践学习。在南京，孩子们可以参加自然探索或参观文化景点；在合肥，一些学生则走进科技馆，了解前沿科技。 这一做法最早始于2004年的杭州，随着“双减”政策减轻学业负担，春假逐渐推广开来。如今，不少企业也积极参与，为有孩子的员工提供带薪假期，方便全家出行。 春假带动旅游预订量大幅上升，博物馆、动物园和主题公园尤其受欢迎。专家指出，如今的春季出游更注重趣味体验，而非单纯观光。正如一位老师所说：“这段假期让学生放松身心，在课堂之外学习，快乐成长。” 【长难句分析】 1.

Passage2 Cultural differences of “old” “老”的文化差异 Director Hu Mei’s new movie of the classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber is a hot topic online. She has changed the story and made it new, trying to show it from the view of young people. Her film is about young people and their dreams. Hu Mei said, “My movie is just one way to see this story. There is a saying, ‘There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes.’ My version may not be the best, but I hope it will make people want to learn more about this great book.” People on the Internet have different ideas about the movie. Some say Zhang Miaoyi did not play Lin Daiyu like the real person. Others do not like the clothes and the places in the movie. “I wanted to make this story popular again and get people talking about it,” said Hu Mei. Dream of the Red Chamber, written by Cao Xueqin in the 18th century, tells the story of four big families. The book cares a lot about the lives of many women characters in a society long ago. This book is very important in Chinese culture. It has beautiful poetry, art, and ideas about buildings, gardens, paintings, and music. It’s like a book that shows everything about traditional Chinese culture. Dream of the Red Chamber is a treasure in Chinese literature and one of the four great classical novels. There is even a special study about it. There have been many TV shows based on this book, but the 1987 CCTV version is the most loved and well-known. Its story, music, and way of telling the story have made it a big success in Chinese TV shows. 胡玫导演的新电影《红楼梦》改编自中国经典小说，成为网络上的热门话题。她改变了故事，使其焕然一新，试图从年轻人的视角来展示。她的电影是关于年轻人和他们的梦想。 胡玫说：”我的电影只是看这个故事的一种方式。有句俗话说，‘一千个读者眼中有一千个哈姆雷特。’我的版本可能不是最好的，但我希望它能让人们想要更多地了解这本伟大的书。” 网上的人们对于这部电影有不同的看法。有人说张淼怡没有像真人一样扮演林黛玉。其他人不喜欢电影中的衣服和地点。 胡玫说：“我想让这个故事再次流行起来，并让人们谈论它。” 《红楼梦》是曹雪芹在18世纪写的，讲述了四大家族的故事。这本书非常关心很久以前社会中许多女性角色的生活。 这本书在中国文化中非常重要。它有美丽的诗歌、艺术和关于建筑、园林、绘画和音乐的思想。它就像一本书，展示了关于中国传统文化的一切。《红楼梦》是中国文学的宝藏，也是四大古典小说之一。甚至还有专门研究它的学问。 有很多电视节目是基于这本书的，但1987年央视版是最受欢迎和最知名的。它的故事、音乐和讲故事的方式使它在中国电视节目中取得了巨大的成功。 【长难句分析】 1.
