第一节

A（鹤壁期中）

Do you want to know anything interesting about colours？ Do you know the popular colours in 2025？ Pink and purple are among them. People would like to wear clothes and shoes in these colours. In ancient China， there were also popular colours in different dynasties.

During the Spring and Autumn Period， Duke Huan of Qi（齐桓公） liked the colour purple. So he and his people all liked wearing purple clothes. Purple clothes were expensive at that time.

In the Qin Dynasty， people liked black very much. Almost everyone wore black clothes. The Qin people thought that black was the colour of water， which brought them good luck.

In the Song Dynasty， white was part of everyday life. Young girls liked to wear white flowers in their hair. They also wore white makeup（妆容）. Some rich girls even put white pearls on faces.

The Forbidden City was built in the Ming Dynasty. Its walls are all red. Red was a noble colour at that time. Some people say it is because of the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty， Zhu Yuanzhang. His last name is Zhu. It means “red” in Chinese. So he liked the colour red.

B（南昌期中）

Parents often reward（奖励） children for doing chores. It is common to do that. But some people think it is not a good idea.

Education expert Susie Walton is one of them. She believes that if kids get rewards， they will think that

housework is not worth doing unless they get something in return. She says， “Home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all should play our part in keeping our home clean.”

Other people agree that rewards encourage kids to do more chores. Rewarding also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn that we need to work to make money.

Now， a new way for rewarding chores happens. The apps on the mobile phone can give kids points after doing chores. After getting enough points from them， kids can do something they like. For example， parents will allow them to play video games for half an hour as a reward if they get 80 points.

So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give children rewards depends on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.

（　　）6. Which of the following ideas does Susie Walton agree with？

A. Children should do chores without rewards.

B. Children needn’t help to keep room clean.

C. Children need to know making money is difficult.

D. Children can play video games after doing chores.

（　　）7. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 4？

A. Teachers.	B. Parents.
C. Apps.	D. Video games.

（　　）8. What can we know from the last paragraph？

A. Doing chores is a good way to make money.

B. People can get rewards from apps.

C. Children can be allowed to watch TV by doing chores.

D. Rewarding for doing chores or not depends on parents themselves.

（　　）9. What is the theme of the passage？

A. Art.	B. Life.
C. Sport.	D. Science.

（　　）10. What would be the best structure of the passage？

第二节

Traditional Chinese culture is full of amazing things. Here are several parts that show its special charm.

11.  　　 Chinese festivals are important times for everyone. During the Spring Festival， families get together. People clean their homes carefully to drive away bad luck and put up red decorations everywhere. Children love getting red envelopes with money inside. At the Lantern Festival， people enjoy watching colourful lanterns and guessing riddles written on them. These festivals make people feel happy and keep traditions alive.

12.  　　 Traditional writing and Chinese painting are beautiful art forms. In traditional writing， people use brushes to write Chinese words in a very nice way. Each stroke shows their skill and feeling. Chinese paintings often show mountains， rivers， flowers， or birds. They help us see the beauty of nature and the ideas of old Chinese artists. Many students learn these arts to understand more about Chinese culture.

13.  　　 Hand-made art in China， like paper-cutting and knot-tying， is full of creativity. Paper-cutters use scissors to make cute shapes of animals， people， or plants. Chinese knot-makers use colourful ropes to make beautiful knots. These knots mean good luck and happiness. People use these handmade works to decorate their homes.
