The Grand Song is an important part of their culture. In 2009, UNESCO included it in the list of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产名录). The Dong people mainly live in Guizhou Province in southwest China and mostly work as farmers. They passed down their stories and knowledge from long ago through songs, because they didn’t have a way to write them down until 1958. Even today, it is still very popular. The Grand Song doesn’t need any instruments (乐器) or a leader to guide the singers. It’s all about the voices of the singers and how they sing together. They usually sing in groups of as few as three people or as many as several hundred. They like to sing in the open air and take turns singing different parts. The songs can be about the group’s history or their everyday life. The Dong people first sang the Grand Song at an international event, the Paris Autumn Festival, in 1986. People spoke highly of the performance, and then, more and more people in the world fell in love with the art. Every year, many tourists go to Dong villages to enjoy the traditional songs. It benefits the Dong people and helps them make lots of money. But some are wondering if the Grand Song is changing when the Dong people perform more and more shows for tourists’ enjoyment.

Today’s young business owners have a strong sense of environmental protection. In China, many of them are also answering this call. Gao Chao from Shenzhen sets a good example in green fashion. Her brand UOOSEE collects over 3,000 old bike tyres (轮胎) every month from nearly 2,000 shops. Instead of throwing them away, she cleans and cuts the tyres, and then sews them into long-lasting and waterproof (防水的) backpacks. Lun Jiayu from Foshan, founder of HowBottle, is also a pollution fighter. She recycles plastic bottles and fishing nets and then uses them to make bags, hats and even eyeglasses. “If plastic can be recycled or kept within human society rather than ending up in nature, it still has value,” she said. Ren Yao from Chengdu, founder of AbuSolutely, makes a more eco-friendly bike. “I was inspired by a photo of a bamboo bike from a century ago in Britain,” Ren said. After years of research and development, his bamboo bikes passed a big test. He rode one from Chengdu to Lhasa! “With the same weight, bamboo fibre can bear three times the load of steel,” Ren said happily. Nowadays, more brands are joining the fight against plastic pollution. This trend is creating a positive circle. Firstly, it helps drive down technological costs. And young people are welcoming eco-friendly products. Besides, by using these products, more people will come to protect our environment and live a greener life.

Passage 2 （2026·贵州遵义·一模）阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空或回答问题。(1至4题每空不超过3个词，5题为回答问题。) Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are beautiful. Although they look like rocks, they are, in fact, living things. They are made up of small sea animals that are called polyps. The polyps build hard shells (壳) around themselves. When a polyp dies, it leaves behind its shell. Then young polyps make their homes on top of it. Over many years, the polyps form a coral reef. Coral reefs are important for many reasons. Most importantly, they are home to different kinds of fishes in the ocean. Without coral reefs, these fishes will be left homeless with nowhere to live and nowhere to have their babies. Another popular reason is that coral reefs are important in controlling how much CO₂ is in the ocean water. Now these beautiful things are in danger. A recent study shows that many coral reefs around the world are being destroyed (破坏). For example, in the Philippines, over 70% of coral reefs have been destroyed and only 5% are in good condition. Some scientists even say more than half of the world’s coral reefs may disappear by the year 2030. What has happened to coral reefs? Lots of things have put coral reefs in danger — pollution, overfishing, etc. It’s also because the earth is warming. All this may sound a bit sad, but there are many groups in the world working hard to save coral reefs. They tell visitors not to destroy coral reefs. They make videos to call on people to stop overfishing. They ask people to stop polluting the water. Coral Reefs The formation Polyps 1 around themselves.

In China, we have a special day called Lìchūn, or the Beginning of Spring. It usually comes around February 4th. It opens the new year’s solar terms (节气) and says goodbye to the cold winter. So, how do people celebrate? One of the yummiest traditions is eating spring pancakes. It’s believed they bring good luck and health for the season. Another fun custom is the“spring ox” parade (游行). In some villages, people make a large ox from paper or clay and walk it through the streets, hoping for a great harvest later in the year. Nature changes too during Lìchūn! The air becomes warmer, trees grow tiny new leaves, and colorful flowers begin to wake up. The sun stays out longer, giving everyone more daytime to enjoy. For farmers, it’s the perfect moment to start preparing the fields for planting. But Lìchūn isn’t just about weather or food—it’s a symbol of hope. After a long, quiet winter, spring brings energy, growth, and new beginnings. It reminds us that brighter, warmer days will always come. Even today, many families in China keep the spirit of Lìchūn alive. They might make spring pancakes together and share plans for the year ahead. Schools also teach students about this special time, helping everyone remember the joy and renewal that spring brings. Isn’t it wonderful how nature and traditions work together to celebrate a fresh start? Lìchūn (Beginning of Spring) Timing Usually falls around February 4th every year.

Walking backward (朝后) may be a good way. Scientists from the University of Roehampton said it can help improve people’s short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average than the other two groups. This shows that the connection between time and space is important for our memories. “Time is really expressed via (通过) space,” Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度). This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past. And walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories. In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon. Walking backward also keeps our spines (脊柱) strong, which can help to ease (缓解) pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward. Walking Backward Findings Walking backward helps people 1 quickly. Experiment Group 1: walk 10 meters forward. Group 2: walk 10 meters backward. Group 3: 2 still. Result Group 2 got two more answers correct on average. Explanation Walking backward allows people to see things from 3    . 4 ◆Improve fitness and burn more calories. ◆Be less stressful for knees. ◆Keep spines strong and ease pain in the lower back. 5. Will you try walking backward? Why or why not? 5 主题01 人与社会——中国文化 Passage 1 （2026·贵州毕节·一模）阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。（1至4题每题答案不超过3个单词，5题须用完整句子回答。） As winter comes, hands can easily get cold. Thick gloves might be a good choice, but sometimes wearing them is inconvenient. However, this was not a problem for ancient Chinese people, who had a fine tool to warm their hands: hand warmers. There is one folk story about its invention. Emperor Yang from the Sui Dynasty visited Jiangsu in winter. Because of the cold, a local official asked craftsmen (工匠) to make a small warmer for the emperor that could be held in his hands. So, the hand warmer was created. By the Song Dynasty, the warmers had become popular among the common people. Skills for producing the tool were widely used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many poets from this period kept a record of people using hand warmers. In the early days, people often used copper (铜) for the outer shell in the production process. It was more suitable than silver, iron and porcelain because it could transfer (传导) heat better, while reducing the risk of breakage or corrosion (腐蚀). Inside a hand warmer, there were coals, some of which were mixed with flowers, giving off a nice smell when burned. Ancient hand warmers had different designs. Round, square and octagonal shapes were typical, and there were also some fashioned shapes which looked like pumpkins, flowers and turtle shells. The patterns on the warmers would usually be animals or symbols with good meanings, such as deer, flowers or the Chinese characters for “long life”. How ancient people warmed their hands in winter.

It is considered as a symbol of energy and good luck. And it will be used in different celebrations to share festive culture. The design idea of the mascot comes from a famous cultural artwork called “Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow (马踏飞燕)”, which is from the Eastern Han Dynasty. But this is not the only idea. The design team chose a special kind of horse as the model. The kind of horse lived on the Qinghai - Xizang Plateau (青藏高原) about 4.6 million years ago. This makes the mascot not only beautiful but also a symbol of power and long history.   Traditional meanings and modern style were skillfully mixed together by the design team. The horse’s hair is in the Tang Dynasty “Wuhua Horse” style. That shows beauty and best wishes. Its body is in bright Chinese red, a color of good luck. It also has “cloud” and “ruyi” patterns (图案). In Chinese culture, “cloud” sounds like “luck” and “ruyi” means “as you wish”. So when they work together, they will show best wishes for a bright future.

There are lots of problems to be solved, and many countries are taking action to protect our planet. Desertification (沙漠化) is a serious problem in many countries, including China. China is making efforts to reduce its desert area. One example of these efforts is Qizi Bay in Hainan Province. Qizi Bay was once a desert and when a storm hit, the air was filled with sand. This was a big problem for local people. To change this, Tao Fengjiao and a team of local women worked hard to plant trees in the area. This was not an easy task, mainly because of the dry land. But after many years of hard work, they finally succeeded in turning the desert into a land of hope, and there are now millions of trees in Qizi Bay. Another serious environmental problem is plastic pollution. Plastic is very useful in our daily lives,but it causes a lot of damage. Scientists are worried that soon there will be more plastic than fish in the sea．Lots of countries are trying to fix this situation. Canada has made laws to stop the use of plastic in personal care and cleaning products. New Zealand is also fighting to reduce plastic waste by not allowing supermarkets to sell and provide single-use plastics.

She took part in a three-month training course on it in the winter of 2024 at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Jin’s life has been different since the training. She changed her life habits after learning it. For example, she avoided sweating (流汗) too much during exercise in winter because the cold of winter means people should slow down, according to TCM. For her, learning these skills and knowledge was not about becoming a TCM doctor but rather about having a healthy lifestyle. She is not an unusual example of young people becoming interested in TCM. “I have seen a rising number of young people come to me for neck and back pains.” said Ma Huifang, a TCM doctor. Younger age groups are benefiting TCM, at the same time, TCM is also benefiting young people. As Jin noted, “It helps young people understand Chinese medicine and learn why it is believed to be a treasure of our Chinese culture.” TCM is becoming popular in different countries around the world. Switzerland is one of them. According to China Daily, over 20 years ago, TCM started to become well-known and then it spread throughout Switzerland. Many international students come to China to study TCM as well. According to a report co-published in April 2024 by Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and Social Sciences Academic Press (China), the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8,187 in 2020, with the largest population of 6,441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe.

It is also known as the Festival of the Kitchen God, the deity (神) who oversees the moral character of each household. Here are five things you should know about the Little New Year. 1. Offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God One of the most distinctive traditions of the Little New Year is the burning of a paper image of the Kitchen God, who will report on the family’s conduct over the past year. The offerings to the Kitchen God include the pig’s head, fish, sweet bean paste, melons, fruit, boiled dumplings, barley (大麦) sugar, and Guandong candy. Most of the offerings are sweets of various kinds. It is thought that this will seal the Kitchen God’s mouth and encourage him to only say good words about the family when he rises to Heaven to make his report. 2. House cleaning According to Chinese folk beliefs, during the last month of the year, ghosts and deities must choose either to return to Heaven or to stay on Earth. It is believed that in order to ensure the ghosts and deities’ timely leave, people must completely clean their houses, down to every last drawer and wardrobe. 3. Paste paper-cuts to windows On the Little New Year, old couplets and paper-cuts from the previous Spring Festival are taken down, and new window decorations, New Year’s posters, and lucky decorations are put up. 4. Bath and haircut As the old Chinese saying goes, whether they’re rich or poor, people often have a haircut before the Spring Festival. The activity of taking a bath and haircut is often taken on the Little New Year. 5. Preparations for the Spring Festival People have started to stock up necessary provisions for the Spring Festival since the Little New Year. Everything needed to make offerings to the ancestors, entertain guests, and feed the family over the long holiday must be purchased in advance. 1 About the Little New Year Offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God 1.

The show runs until April 10th. It displays (陈列) 121 ancient pillows from the Western Han Dynasty until early 20th century. “These pillows, made of different materials, are not just daily things, but also have cultural and historical value,” says Guo Jing, director of the show. “They show interesting folk cultures and carry memories of the past. We hope that these treasures can help visitors enter the world of the ancients.” In ancient China, pillows expressed people’s good wishes. Cat-shaped pillows, for example, stood for hopes that a couple would enjoy good health while growing old together. A special pillow is the pearl (珍珠) one found in the tomb of the King of Nanyue, a kingdom that was founded after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, mainly including what are now Guangdong and Guangxi. The pillow was made of 470 unprocessed pearls, showing the high position of its owner. Another special pillow is a tiger-head one, which stands for courage and strength. “In ancient times, these pillows were often for children. And they were the symbol of good luck and healthy growth,” Guo explains. There are several ideas about why ancient pillows are hard, rather than soft. One idea is that hard pillows better support the neck and head, improve blood circulation (循环) in the eyes and improve eyesight. Also, ceramic (陶瓷) pillows are cooler and can help lower body temperatures, making people feel more comfortable in the summer heat. 1 : More Than Just Resting Places Basic information Special Meanings Show place: Baoji, Shaanxi Province Show time: Until 2 Number: 121 Cat-shaped pillows The pearl pillow The tiger-head pillow mean 3 and longevity for couples shows the high position of its owner stands for courage and strength Why they are hard ▷better 4 the neck and head ▷improve blood circulation in the eyes ▷improve eyesight ▷help lower body temperatures 5.

Writing brush(máo bǐ), as a kind of special writing tool made in China first appeared more than 5,000 years ago. It wasn’t widely used until the Warring States Period (476 BC—221 BC). A writing brush includes two important parts and materials used to make each part are quite different. Materials for the head part include rabbit hair, pig hair and so on. If you want to buy a Chinese brush as a gift for your friends, you can choose the one with soft hairs, mixed hairs or hard hairs according to their writing styles. Chinese people like to make a writing brush from the first haircut a baby gets. It’s believed that a writing brush made from the hair of newborn babies will bring good luck while taking exams. As for stalks (笔杆), normal materials are usually wood, but we can also see some special ones made from ivory, gold and some other expensive materials. In Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting, writing brush is widely used. In ancient China, children had to learn calligraphy and try to write good calligraphy. Nowadays, Chinese people still practice calligraphy with writing brush from a very young age. When writing, many people will forget all worries and even themselves, turning all thoughts into the beauty of art. People think it helps improve a person’s temper (脾气). Without doubt, it is a quiet, peaceful activity that many people enjoy. 1．From Paragraph 2, we know writing brush has been around for over . 2．We can buy our friends a writing brush according to . 3．People think using a brush made from newborn babies’ hair brings them in exams. 4．Practicing calligraphy will make a person’s temper . 5．What kind of writing brush do you want to have? 主题03 其他 Passage 1 （2026·贵州遵义·一模）阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。（1-4题每题答案不超过3个单词，5小题须用完整句子回答。） Citywalk is becoming a new travel fashion for the youth in China who are exploring cultural spots (地点). Unlike traditional travel, it aims to avoid famous tourist spots and large crowds to get a better experience. Many young people enjoy gathering a couple of good friends and hanging out in the streets while visiting a new city. They can follow a typical city route (路线), exploring old buildings, going window-shopping, drinking a cup of coffee, or enjoying local snacks. In order to show their Citywalk, more and more people prefer to share their experience through social media (媒体). Xiao Yiyi, a young woman in Shanghai, recently shared Citywalk in six different cities on the Internet, providing experiences for people to “walk in open-air museums”. Her Citywalk travel routes include more unusual sights such as historical buildings, old streets, and even some snacks. Citywalk is spreading from the largest cities to small ones, encouraging more and more travel event organizers to join. Some places, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk plans to develop cultural tourism and relaxing tours. Shanghai has set up Citywalk bus routes to help day-trippers reach faraway areas first, and then continue on foot. Meanwhile, Citywalk also provides young people the social chances, where they can share their interests and ideas and make friends easily. What’s more, it provides an opportunity for guides and travel companies to offer a more professional service to ever-changing market requirements.

He has not been there before and he is quite interested in the great differences between American and Chinese cultures. For one thing, Americans and Chinese are different in arranging (安排) a visit. In many places of China, people usually call on their neighbors unexpectedly. Americans prefer making an appointment in advance (提前). An unexpected visitor is regarded as impolite. For another thing, their table manners are different. Chinese usually eat directly from the serving dishes. And during the meal, the host may keep putting food on the guest’s plate. An American, however, only eats from his own plate. He never picks up food for others unless he is asked to do so. Moreover, they have different reactions when they hear compliments (赞美). For example, when a Chinese hostess is praised for her cooking skills, she will instantly deny that because Chinese are often modest. But an American is likely to accept it and say, “Oh, I’m glad you like it. I cooked it especially for you.” At the beginning, it was hard for Li Ming to get used to things around him because of these cultural differences. But soon, he succeeded in adjusting to their ways of doing things. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” He liked to say that when he was asked how he could get along in a new culture.

Passage 6 （2025·贵州铜仁·三模）阅读短文，根据其内容填空。（1至4题每空不超过三个词，5题用完整的句子回答问题） Good news for students in China! Many schools are making changes to their class breaks. Many primary and secondary schools (初中) in different Chinese cities have made class breaks longer, from 10 to 15 minutes, starting from 2025. This change is to encourage students and teachers to do more outdoor activities. In the past, schools in China usually had 10-minute breaks between classes. This was not enough time for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools even stopped students from leaving the classroom during breaks for safety reasons. Now, local education departments are trying to make school schedules better, so students can do at least 30 minutes of physical exercise every day. Cities like Beijing, Tianjin, and Qingdao in Shandong province have already made breaks longer. In Beijing, students now get longer breaks. But their school day didn’t change much. Primary kids still start and finish at the same time. Secondary school students just finish 5 minutes later. Schools in Yunyan district and Nanming district, Guiyang, also have 15-minute breaks now. They also make sure students have one P. E. class every day. Students must do at least 100 minutes of physical exercise at school each day. This helps them do more outdoor activities and socialize. The education department there also said no to starting classes too early and stopping students from doing things during breaks. They want to give break time back to the students. These changes are great for students’ health and happiness. More outdoor activities and exercise will make school life more fun and enjoyable!

When the students put on the VR glasses, it seemed that they were taken into a new world where they could see, touch and feel. The world felt so real that they could enjoy the views alone the way while allowing more knowledge to be kept in mind. VR language learning is now starting to be widely used in many schools. Think of it like this. Now you are learning English in China, you don’t have the atmosphere (环境) to use English, but if you learn English in English-speaking countries like America or the UK, it’ll be much easier for you to make progress. Nowadays, a lot of apps have also been designed to serve VR language learning. The app “House of Languages is one of them. It is already available on the Samsung (三星) VR. It can sense your movement and the acts of your eyeballs, arms and hands. When you are learning English in it, a lovely racoon (浣熊) called Mr. Woo, will guide you to communicate in English. You can use English by finishing tasks Mr. Woo gives you. For example, you will be asked to find “certain things” at your “home” according to the English words that Mr. Woo gives you. After you’ve found these “things”, you should “take them”, “come back” to Mr. Woo and “give them” to him. Then he will say thanks to you. Sometimes, Mr. Woo may have some activities like a family party so that you will have more tasks to finish in that situation. You will learn English so quickly that you will even forget you are learning. Virtual Reality is showing increasing promise in language education and the day isn’t far away when it will become one of the main media in education. Using VR Technology in 1 VR makes a new world where students could see, 2 . VR provides English using atmosphere to help learners 3 more easily in China. VR creates many tasks of 4 guided by Mr. Woo.

The Grand Song is an important part of their culture. In 2009, UNESCO included it in the list of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产名录). The Dong people mainly live in Guizhou Province in southwest China and mostly work as farmers. They passed down their stories and knowledge from long ago through songs, because they didn’t have a way to write them down until 1958. Even today, it is still very popular. The Grand Song doesn’t need any instruments (乐器) or a leader to guide the singers. It’s all about the voices of the singers and how they sing together. They usually sing in groups of as few as three people or as many as several hundred. They like to sing in the open air and take turns singing different parts. The songs can be about the group’s history or their everyday life. The Dong people first sang the Grand Song at an international event, the Paris Autumn Festival, in 1986. People spoke highly of the performance, and then, more and more people in the world fell in love with the art. Every year, many tourists go to Dong villages to enjoy the traditional songs. It benefits the Dong people and helps them make lots of money. But some are wondering if the Grand Song is changing when the Dong people perform more and more shows for tourists’ enjoyment. What should people do to keep the song the same as before? 1．The Dong people passed down their stories and knowledge through songs mainly because they had no until 1958. 2．Unlike many other musical forms, the Grand Song is performed without any instruments or . 3．The Grand Song was first introduced to the world at an international event in . 4．Some people worry that the Grand Song may change because it is now often performed for . 5．Do you think it is a good thing that more tourists come to enjoy the Grand Song?

Today’s young business owners have a strong sense of environmental protection. In China, many of them are also answering this call. Gao Chao from Shenzhen sets a good example in green fashion. Her brand UOOSEE collects over 3,000 old bike tyres (轮胎) every month from nearly 2,000 shops. Instead of throwing them away, she cleans and cuts the tyres, and then sews them into long-lasting and waterproof (防水的) backpacks. Lun Jiayu from Foshan, founder of HowBottle, is also a pollution fighter. She recycles plastic bottles and fishing nets and then uses them to make bags, hats and even eyeglasses. “If plastic can be recycled or kept within human society rather than ending up in nature, it still has value,” she said. Ren Yao from Chengdu, founder of AbuSolutely, makes a more eco-friendly bike. “I was inspired by a photo of a bamboo bike from a century ago in Britain,” Ren said. After years of research and development, his bamboo bikes passed a big test. He rode one from Chengdu to Lhasa! “With the same weight, bamboo fibre can bear three times the load of steel,” Ren said happily. Nowadays, more brands are joining the fight against plastic pollution. This trend is creating a positive circle. Firstly, it helps drive down technological costs. And young people are welcoming eco-friendly products. Besides, by using these products, more people will come to protect our environment and live a greener life.

Passage 2 （2026·贵州遵义·一模）阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空或回答问题。(1至4题每空不超过3个词，5题为回答问题。) Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are beautiful. Although they look like rocks, they are, in fact, living things. They are made up of small sea animals that are called polyps. The polyps build hard shells (壳) around themselves. When a polyp dies, it leaves behind its shell. Then young polyps make their homes on top of it. Over many years, the polyps form a coral reef. Coral reefs are important for many reasons. Most importantly, they are home to different kinds of fishes in the ocean. Without coral reefs, these fishes will be left homeless with nowhere to live and nowhere to have their babies. Another popular reason is that coral reefs are important in controlling how much CO₂ is in the ocean water. Now these beautiful things are in danger. A recent study shows that many coral reefs around the world are being destroyed (破坏). For example, in the Philippines, over 70% of coral reefs have been destroyed and only 5% are in good condition. Some scientists even say more than half of the world’s coral reefs may disappear by the year 2030. What has happened to coral reefs? Lots of things have put coral reefs in danger — pollution, overfishing, etc. It’s also because the earth is warming. All this may sound a bit sad, but there are many groups in the world working hard to save coral reefs. They tell visitors not to destroy coral reefs. They make videos to call on people to stop overfishing. They ask people to stop polluting the water. Coral Reefs The formation Polyps 1 around themselves. After their death, young polyps make homes on top of the shells. A coral reef is formed over time. The 2 ※Be home to many kinds of sea fishes. ※Help control how much CO₂ is in the ocean water.

In China, we have a special day called Lìchūn, or the Beginning of Spring. It usually comes around February 4th. It opens the new year’s solar terms (节气) and says goodbye to the cold winter. So, how do people celebrate? One of the yummiest traditions is eating spring pancakes. It’s believed they bring good luck and health for the season. Another fun custom is the“spring ox” parade (游行). In some villages, people make a large ox from paper or clay and walk it through the streets, hoping for a great harvest later in the year. Nature changes too during Lìchūn! The air becomes warmer, trees grow tiny new leaves, and colorful flowers begin to wake up. The sun stays out longer, giving everyone more daytime to enjoy. For farmers, it’s the perfect moment to start preparing the fields for planting. But Lìchūn isn’t just about weather or food—it’s a symbol of hope. After a long, quiet winter, spring brings energy, growth, and new beginnings. It reminds us that brighter, warmer days will always come. Even today, many families in China keep the spirit of Lìchūn alive. They might make spring pancakes together and share plans for the year ahead. Schools also teach students about this special time, helping everyone remember the joy and renewal that spring brings. Isn’t it wonderful how nature and traditions work together to celebrate a fresh start? Lìchūn (Beginning of Spring) Timing Usually falls around February 4th every year.

Walking backward (朝后) may be a good way. Scientists from the University of Roehampton said it can help improve people’s short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average than the other two groups. This shows that the connection between time and space is important for our memories. “Time is really expressed via (通过) space,” Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度). This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past. And walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories. In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon. Walking backward also keeps our spines (脊柱) strong, which can help to ease (缓解) pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward. Walking Backward Findings Walking backward helps people 1 quickly. Experiment Group 1: walk 10 meters forward. Group 2: walk 10 meters backward. Group 3: 2 still. Result Group 2 got two more answers correct on average. Explanation Walking backward allows people to see things from 3    . 4 ◆Improve fitness and burn more calories. ◆Be less stressful for knees. ◆Keep spines strong and ease pain in the lower back. 5. Will you try walking backward? Why or why not? 5 【答案】1．recall information 2．stay 3．a different angle 4．Advantages/Other benefits 5．Yes, I will. Because it can not only improve my short-term memory to help me study better, but also bring many health benefits like protecting my knees and easing back pain.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“向后走”对记忆力和身体健康的益处。 1．根据文章第1段中的“Many people wonder how to recall (回忆) information quickly before exams. Walking backward (朝后) may be a good way.”可知，向后走有助于人们快速回忆信息。 2．根据文章第2段中的“ One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stood in one place.”可知，第3组站在一个地方，也就是保持不动，stay still意为“保持不动”。 3．根据文章第4段中的“When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度).”可知，当你向后走时，你会从不同的角度看待事物。 4．根据文章第5段中的“Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories.”和第6段中的“In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees.…Walking backward also keeps our spines (脊柱) strong, which can help to ease (缓解) pain in the lower back.”可知，这些是在介绍“向后走”的优势或其他益处。 5．这是一道开放性试题，答案不唯一，先用Yes或No回答是否会尝试，接下来给出理由，比如：可以说会尝试，因为它不仅可以提高我的短期记忆力，帮助我更好地学习，还可以带来许多健康益处，比如保护膝盖和缓解背痛。 主题01 人与社会——中国文化 Passage 1 （2026·贵州毕节·一模）阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。（1至4题每题答案不超过3个单词，5题须用完整句子回答。） As winter comes, hands can easily get cold. Thick gloves might be a good choice, but sometimes wearing them is inconvenient. However, this was not a problem for ancient Chinese people, who had a fine tool to warm their hands: hand warmers. There is one folk story about its invention. Emperor Yang from the Sui Dynasty visited Jiangsu in winter. Because of the cold, a local official asked craftsmen (工匠) to make a small warmer for the emperor that could be held in his hands. So, the hand warmer was created. By the Song Dynasty, the warmers had become popular among the common people. Skills for producing the tool were widely used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many poets from this period kept a record of people using hand warmers. In the early days, people often used copper (铜) for the outer shell in the production process. It was more suitable than silver, iron and porcelain because it could transfer (传导) heat better, while reducing the risk of breakage or corrosion (腐蚀). Inside a hand warmer, there were coals, some of which were mixed with flowers, giving off a nice smell when burned. Ancient hand warmers had different designs. Round, square and octagonal shapes were typical, and there were also some fashioned shapes which looked like pumpkins, flowers and turtle shells. The patterns on the warmers would usually be animals or symbols with good meanings, such as deer, flowers or the Chinese characters for “long life”. How ancient people warmed their hands in winter.

It is considered as a symbol of energy and good luck. And it will be used in different celebrations to share festive culture. The design idea of the mascot comes from a famous cultural artwork called “Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow (马踏飞燕)”, which is from the Eastern Han Dynasty. But this is not the only idea.

Offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God One of the most distinctive traditions of the Little New Year is the burning of a paper image of the Kitchen God, who will report on the family’s conduct over the past year. The offerings to the Kitchen God include the pig’s head, fish, sweet bean paste, melons, fruit, boiled dumplings, barley (大麦) sugar, and Guandong candy. Most of the offerings are sweets of various kinds.

The show runs until April 10th. It displays (陈列) 121 ancient pillows from the Western Han Dynasty until early 20th century. “These pillows, made of different materials, are not just daily things, but also have cultural and historical value,” says Guo Jing, director of the show. “They show interesting folk cultures and carry memories of the past. We hope that these treasures can help visitors enter the world of the ancients.” In ancient China, pillows expressed people’s good wishes. Cat-shaped pillows, for example, stood for hopes that a couple would enjoy good health while growing old together. A special pillow is the pearl (珍珠) one found in the tomb of the King of Nanyue, a kingdom that was founded after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, mainly including what are now Guangdong and Guangxi. The pillow was made of 470 unprocessed pearls, showing the high position of its owner. Another special pillow is a tiger-head one, which stands for courage and strength. “In ancient times, these pillows were often for children. And they were the symbol of good luck and healthy growth,” Guo explains. There are several ideas about why ancient pillows are hard, rather than soft. One idea is that hard pillows better support the neck and head, improve blood circulation (循环) in the eyes and improve eyesight. Also, ceramic (陶瓷) pillows are cooler and can help lower body temperatures, making people feel more comfortable in the summer heat. 1 : More Than Just Resting Places Basic information Special Meanings Show place: Baoji, Shaanxi Province Show time: Until 2 Number: 121 Cat-shaped pillows The pearl pillow The tiger-head pillow mean 3 and longevity for couples shows the high position of its owner stands for courage and strength Why they are hard ▷better 4 the neck and head ▷improve blood circulation in the eyes ▷improve eyesight ▷help lower body temperatures 5.

He has not been there before and he is quite interested in the great differences between American and Chinese cultures. For one thing, Americans and Chinese are different in arranging (安排) a visit. In many places of China, people usually call on their neighbors unexpectedly. Americans prefer making an appointment in advance (提前). An unexpected visitor is regarded as impolite. For another thing, their table manners are different. Chinese usually eat directly from the serving dishes. And during the meal, the host may keep putting food on the guest’s plate. An American, however, only eats from his own plate. He never picks up food for others unless he is asked to do so. Moreover, they have different reactions when they hear compliments (赞美). For example, when a Chinese hostess is praised for her cooking skills, she will instantly deny that because Chinese are often modest. But an American is likely to accept it and say, “Oh, I’m glad you like it. I cooked it especially for you.” At the beginning, it was hard for Li Ming to get used to things around him because of these cultural differences. But soon, he succeeded in adjusting to their ways of doing things. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” He liked to say that when he was asked how he could get along in a new culture.
