He carried a medical box and visited sick villagers on foot every day. Sometimes he had to walk for hours to reach a faraway family. In 2010, the government built a new health centre in the village. The centre has bright rooms, modern medical machines and a group of doctors and nurses. Chen still works there as a volunteer. Now, villagers can see a doctor near their homes.

Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty. It has been used to send information by several ethnic groups (民族) in the southwestern region. Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves. She also mixed traditional beauty with modern skill. Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make. The key steps cover picking and drying the leaves, then designing (设计) and embroidering the pattern (图案). Leaves from plants in the thick forests of the Fanjing Mountain area in Tongren provide the best material. After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). Then patterns, with ideas from ancient stories and nature, are drawn on the veins. However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive. “During my lifetime, I feel I have a duty (职责). I should do it better and pass on this skill.” Yang said. In 2022, Yang set up a training centre and has since shared leaf-vein embroidery through short videos with her student Yang Xinyu. “Leaf-vein embroidery is a treasure. As a young person influenced (影响) by my teacher Yang Li, I have kept on learning this skill and hope that more young people will return to their hometowns to carry on this skill.” Yang Xinyu said. 1．When did leaf-vein embroidery start? . 2．Who has brought together the traditional embroidery of several ethnic groups in the leaves? . 3．How long do the leaves naturally soften before fumigating? . 4．Why is it not very easy to keep leaf-vein embroidery alive? . 5．What do you think of leaf-vein embroidery according to the passage? .

Hearing the words, Zhang Yu bowed at once and thanked Song Ming sincerely. The heartwarming moment didn’t end there. David was the boss of the factory where Song Ming worked. After hearing what had happened, he was also deeply moved. He told the story to his workers and said, “It is great that Song Ming didn’t ask Zhang Yu to pay, and I would like to help her to complete her college education.” During the following three years, Zhang Yu worked very hard and took an active part in different activities to develop her abilities with the help of David.

Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty. It has been used to send information by several ethnic groups (民族) in the southwestern region. Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves. She also mixed traditional beauty with modern skill. Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make. The key steps cover picking and drying the leaves, then designing (设计) and embroidering the pattern (图案). Leaves from plants in the thick forests of the Fanjing Mountain area in Tongren provide the best material. After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). Then patterns, with ideas from ancient stories and nature, are drawn on the veins. However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive. “During my lifetime, I feel I have a duty (职责). I should do it better and pass on this skill.” Yang said. In 2022, Yang set up a training centre and has since shared leaf-vein embroidery through short videos with her student Yang Xinyu. “Leaf-vein embroidery is a treasure. As a young person influenced (影响) by my teacher Yang Li, I have kept on learning this skill and hope that more young people will return to their hometowns to carry on this skill.” Yang Xinyu said. 1．When did leaf-vein embroidery start? . 2．Who has brought together the traditional embroidery of several ethnic groups in the leaves? . 3．How long do the leaves naturally soften before fumigating? . 4．Why is it not very easy to keep leaf-vein embroidery alive? . 5．What do you think of leaf-vein embroidery according to the passage? . 【答案】1．In the Song Dynasty. 2．Yang Li. 3．About 20 days. 4．Because it needs long and hard work. 5．It’s a valuable skill.（答案不唯一，合理即可 ） 【导语】本文主要从历史渊源、工艺特色、传承现状三个方面介绍了贵州铜仁的叶脉绣技艺。 1．根据“Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty.”可知，叶脉绣始于宋代。故填In the Song Dynasty. 2．根据“Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves.”可知，Yang Li把几个民族的传统刺绣汇集在叶子里。故填Yang Li. 3．根据“After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). ”可知，叶子需要大约20天自然变软。故填About 20 days. 4．根据“However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive.”可知，由于叶脉刺绣需要长时间和艰苦的工作，保持这一传统技能的生存不是很容易。故填Because it needs long and hard work. 5．根据“Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make.”可知，叶脉绣一项宝贵的技能。故填It’s a valuable skill.（此题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。） Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·江苏连云港·期中）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过5个单词。 Do you know when the 2025 UN Chinese Language Day is?

It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record,” Zhou said. However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competition. It’s light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid (无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized (认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it. Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training kept him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength. Now a high school student, Zhou said he’ll put his studies first.
