If you compare them with Western gardens, you may find that Chinese gardens look more natural. Chinese gardens have a long history. There used to be two main kinds of gardens, imperial (皇家的) gardens and private gardens. Imperial gardens were for the emperors and their families, while private gardens were built by rich people. Both kinds of gardens were built for having a rest. The Summer Palace in Beijing is one of the most famous imperial gardens in China. There are over 3,000 ancient buildings and more than 1,600 ancient trees in this garden. It is known as the “Imperial Garden Museum” in China. In the past, emperors and their family members usually came to this garden to spend the hot summer. As for private gardens, the most famous one is the Humble Administrator’s Garden (拙政园) in Suzhou. Although it is quite small compared with imperial gardens, it’s very beautiful. Some trees, lakes, flowers and man-made mountains can be found in the garden. Tourists can also see private houses near the garden. Traditional Chinese gardens have been built to look natural. In fact, Chinese gardens are like Chinese paintings. These two have influenced each other. Both of them show the idea of the importance of nature in Chinese culture. 1．How does the writer start this passage? A．By showing a fact. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 2．Why did emperors and their family come to the Summer Palace? A．To spend the hot summer. B．To take care of the old trees. C．To have some delicious food. D．To see some wonderful shows. 3．Which of the following is right according to the passage? A．The Summer Palace in Beijing is one of the most famous private gardens in China. B．The Humble Administrator’s Garden in Suzhou is an imperial garden. C．Western gardens are like Chinese paintings. D．Traditional Chinese gardens show the idea of the importance of nature in Chinese culture. 4．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1②=Paragraph 2…) A．①/②③/④ B．①/②/③④ C．①②③/④ D．①/②③④ 5．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The History of Chinese Gardens B．Chinese Imperial Gardens C．Traditional Chinese Gardens: Features (特点) and Kinds D．Chinese Gardens VS Western Gardens Have you ever wondered why we say shangcesuo (上厕所) instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo (意见相左) instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind. Up or down We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Left or right Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hands to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs, we still say they are following a different path. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for a higher position than “left”. For example, the Chinese character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 1．Why does the writer use shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo in the first paragraph? A．To tell a story. B．To introduce the topic. C．To give an example. D．To solve a mystery. 2．What does the example of “佑” show? A．Left and right refer to directions. B．Houses were laid out in a certain way in ancient China. C．“Left” was related to being different. D．“Right” stood for a higher position in ancient China. In China, paper cutting is more than just a hobby; it is a symbol of luck and happiness. During the Spring Festival, people put up red paper cuttings on windows and doors to wish for a better year. Li Xia, a 35-year-old teacher from Xi’an, has loved paper cutting since she was a child. “When I hold the scissors and red paper, I forget all my worries,” she says. “It helps me find inner peace. Creating a complex pattern (复杂的样式) takes patience, but seeing the final work gives me great joy.” Unlike modern digital art, paper cutting is done totally by hand. “It’s not about speed or making money,” says Wang Lei, a master of this art. “It’s about the connection between your heart and your hands. Every cut carries emotion.” He believes that even in the age of computers, this traditional skill is valuable because it teaches us to slow down and focus. For some young people, paper cutting is also a form of exercise for the brain. “It requires great concentration (专注) ,” says a college student. “After cutting for an hour, I feel relaxed, just like after doing yoga.” Today, paper cutting is not only popular in China but also known around the world. It shows the magic of Chinese culture and brings peace to modern lives. 1．Why does Li Xia love paper cutting? A．Because it makes her famous. B．Because it helps her make more money. C．Because it helps her forget worries and find peace. D．Because it is easier than digital art. 2．What does Wang Lei think is the most important part of paper cutting? A．The speed of cutting. B．The connection between heart and hands. C．The price of the paper. D．The use of modern tools. 3．How does the college student feel after doing paper cutting? A．Relaxed and focused. B．Tired and bored. C．Nervous and stressed. D．Hungry and thirsty. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To teach readers how to cut paper. B．To show the history of the Spring Festival. C．To compare paper cutting with digital art. D．To introduce the value and beauty of paper cutting. Chinese calligraphy is an ancient art form with a history of more than 3,000 years. It is not just about writing characters beautifully, it is also a way to express one’s feelings and personalities. In ancient China, calligraphy was considered one of the most important skills for scholars (学者). They believed that a person’s handwriting could show what kind of person he or she was. There are different styles of calligraphy, such as seal script (篆书), clerical script (隶书), regular script (楷书), running script (行书), and cursive script (草书). Among them, regular script is often taught to beginners because it is clear and strict in form. Running script is faster and more free, while cursive script can be very hard to read even for some native speakers. Learning calligraphy takes time and patience. A calligrapher must practice the same character hundreds of times. However, many young people today are losing interest in this traditional art because they spend more time on mobile phones. Some teachers worry that this beautiful art may one day disappear. Others believe that as long as there are people who value tradition, calligraphy will continue to live on. 1．Why did ancient scholars think calligraphy was important?

They even bought traditional crafts (手工艺品) as gifts for their friends. Fang was happy to see her students like the trip. This trip made them closer as a team and helped them enjoy China’s old stories and ways of life. Recently, Fang and her daughter took part in an event at Wenzhou University. Her daughter is also a martial arts lover. “Perhaps one day, my daughter, my club students and I will all appear together in the arena. And we can get good results in the competitions.

As the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac (十二生肖), the horse is a symbol of moving forward bravely. People born in the Year of the Horse are thought to be active and energetic. In history, horses were very vital to China’s development. Long ago, they were important for transportation and communication. The famous “Tea Horse Road” connected different places, helping business and cultural communication. In wars, a strong horse army often decided who would win. So the horse also stands for military (军事) power and national strength. The horse is also important in Chinese language. Many idioms (成语) use the horse to talk about success and speed. For example, “Ma Dao Cheng Gong” means achieving success right away. Another phrase, “Long Ma Jing Shen”, compares the spirit of an old person to a dragon and a horse, wishing them energy and health. In art, the horse has been a popular topic for hundreds of years. The painter Xu Beihong is famous for his ink paintings of running fast horses.

It has a history of over 7, 000 years. This method connects wooden parts without using nails (钉子) or glue. The mortise is a hole cut into one piece of wood, and the tenon is a projection (凸起) on another piece. When they fit together, the joint becomes very strong. Many ancient Chinese buildings, such as the Palace Museum, use mortise and tenon joints. These buildings have stood for hundreds of years, even through storms and earthquakes. That’s because the joint can adjust to (适应) changes in temperature and humidity (湿度). It makes the buildings more stable. Today, mortise and tenon joint is still used by some craftsmen. They make furniture, doors and windows with this method. Many young people are also interested in it. Some schools even teach students about this traditional skill.

It grew quickly during the Tang Dynasty and reached its golden age in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). In those days, people did not drink tea the same way we do today. They did not just put tea leaves into hot water and wait. Their favorite way to enjoy tea was Diancha—a special and beautiful tea art. ②Making diancha has several steps. First, people warmed the tea bowl with hot water to make it ready for the tea; this step was important to keep the tea’s taste. Next, they put fine tea powder into the bowl and added a small amount of hot water. They mixed them gently together to make a thick paste (茶膏) that looked smooth. ③The most important part was whisking (拂) the tea. They slowly poured more hot water into the bowl, little by little, and stirred the tea again and again with a bamboo whisk. This process needed patience and skill. After careful and patient stirring, thick and white foam (泡沫) appeared on the top of the tea. People believed good diancha should have clean white foam that could stay for a long time without disappearing. ④People in the Song Dynasty loved holding tea competitions called Doucha. They gathered together to compare the colour of the foam and how long it could last (持续). If the foam stuck well to the bowl and did not leave water marks, it was considered the best diancha. Emperor Huizong enjoyed diancha so much that he wrote a book to teach others about this wonderful art and share his love for it. ⑤In 2019, Chinese Diancha was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Today, this wonderful tea art still helps people around the world understand the rich culture of ancient China. 1．When was the golden age of Chinese tea culture? A．In 2019. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In modern times. D．In the Tang Dynasty. 2．What is the correct order of making diancha? ① Warm the tea bowl ② Make a thick paste ③ Keep whisking the tea ④ Create white foam A．①②③④ B．②①④③ C．①③②④ D．①②④③ 3．What is the standard of good diancha? A．Light thin foam. B．Dark tea water. C．Clear water marks. D．Long-lasting white foam. 4．Which is the right structure of the passage? （① = Paragraph 1 ② = Paragraph 2, …） A．B． C． D． 5．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a special tea art. B．To tell the steps of making diancha. C．To explain the history of Chinese tea.

D．Culture. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国书法这一古老艺术形式，包括其历史、作用、不同风格、学习特点以及现状和未来展望。 1．第一段提到：“In ancient China, calligraphy was considered one of the most important skills for scholars (学者). They believed that a person’s handwriting could show what kind of person he or she was.” 这直接说明古代学者认为书法重要是因为他们觉得书法能展现一个人的性格。 2．第二段提到：“Among them, regular script is often taught to beginners because it is clear and strict in form.” 这表明正楷常被教给初学者，因为它形式清晰严谨，所以对于初学者来说最容易上手。 3．第三段提到：“However, many young people today are losing interest in this traditional art because they spend more time on mobile phones. Some teachers worry that this beautiful art may one day disappear. Others believe that as long as there are people who value tradition, calligraphy will continue to live on.” 从这段话可以推断出书法的未来是不确定的。 4．文章主要围绕中国书法这一传统文化艺术形式展开，所以最有可能在报纸的文化版块读到这篇文章。 Fang Xiaofen has taught martial arts (武术) in France for over 30 years. She hopes to help more young French people understand martial arts. Fang, born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, started learning martial arts with her father at the age of 6. She moved to France with her parents at the age of 20, but she never gave up her love for martial arts. She practiced a lot, joining clubs and getting better at martial arts. Also, she took part in different French martial arts competitions. Later in 2011, Fang became a coach of the French international martial arts team, a role that allowed her to share her love and knowledge with young athletes. Now, Fang runs several martial arts clubs with more than 200 students. Her students work in different jobs during the weekday, but on weekends, they get together at the martial arts clubs. In 2018, Fang invited some students of her club to visit her hometown. Besides learning about martial arts, they tried local food and visited Wenzhou Museum. They even bought traditional crafts (手工艺品) as gifts for their friends. Fang was happy to see her students like the trip. This trip made them closer as a team and helped them enjoy China’s old stories and ways of life. Recently, Fang and her daughter took part in an event at Wenzhou University. Her daughter is also a martial arts lover. “Perhaps one day, my daughter, my club students and I will all appear together in the arena. And we can get good results in the competitions. I look forward to taking part in competitions with my students even when I’m 60,” Fang said. 1．What has Fang Xiaofen taught young people in France? A．Paper-cuts. B．Clay art. C．Martial arts. D．Sugar painting. 2．What did Fang Xiaofen do after moving to France? A．She stopped practicing martial arts. B．She watched martial arts competitions. C．She became a coach soon after moving. D．She joined clubs and took part in competitions. 3．What did Fang Xiaofen and her students do during their visit to Wenzhou? ①They learned something about martial arts. ②They tried local food. ③They visited Wenzhou Museum. ④They learned to make traditional crafts. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了方笑芬在法国教授武术30多年的经历，讲述了她在法国传播武术、带领学生交流，以及对武术传承的热爱与贡献。 1．根据文章第一句“Fang Xiaofen has taught martial arts in France for over 30 years.”可知，方笑芬在法国教年轻人武术。 2．根据文章第二段“She moved to France with her parents at the age of 20, but she never gave up her love for martial arts. She practiced a lot, joining clubs and getting better at martial arts. Also, she took part in different French martial arts competitions.”可知，她搬到法国后，加入俱乐部并参加武术比赛。选项D符合原文描述。 3．根据文章第四段“In 2018, Fang invited some students of her club to visit her hometown. Besides learning about martial arts, they tried local food and visited Wenzhou Museum. They even bought traditional crafts (手工艺品) as gifts for their friends.”可知，他们的活动包括：①学习武术相关内容、②品尝当地美食、③参观温州博物馆；文中提到的是购买手工艺品作为礼物，而非学习制作手工艺品，故④错误。因此正确选项为①②③。 In Chinese culture, the horse is more than just an animal. It stands for energy, speed, and perseverance (毅力). As the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac (十二生肖), the horse is a symbol of moving forward bravely. People born in the Year of the Horse are thought to be active and energetic. In history, horses were very vital to China’s development. Long ago, they were important for transportation and communication. The famous “Tea Horse Road” connected different places, helping business and cultural communication. In wars, a strong horse army often decided who would win. So the horse also stands for military (军事) power and national strength. The horse is also important in Chinese language. Many idioms (成语) use the horse to talk about success and speed. For example, “Ma Dao Cheng Gong” means achieving success right away. Another phrase, “Long Ma Jing Shen”, compares the spirit of an old person to a dragon and a horse, wishing them energy and health. In art, the horse has been a popular topic for hundreds of years. The painter Xu Beihong is famous for his ink paintings of running fast horses. His works show not just the horse’s look, but also its inner spirit of freedom and strength. 1．What was the “Tea Horse Road” used for? A．Only for fighting wars. B．Painting horses.

A．Famous Chinese Paintings B．The History of the “Tea Horse Road” C．The Spirit of the Horse in Chinese Culture D．How to Learn Chinese Idioms 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了马在中国文化中的多重象征意义，包括生肖寓意、历史作用、语言文化及艺术形象，展现了马所代表的活力、毅力与民族精神。   1．第二段指出：“The famous ‘Tea Horse Road’ connected different places, helping business and cultural communication.”，这说明茶马古道的作用是连接不同区域，促进贸易与文化交流。 2．第一段说明：“People born in the Year of the Horse are thought to be active and energetic.”，直接点明属马的人被认为是活跃且精力充沛的。 3．第二段中“horses were very vital to China's development”的“vital”意为“极重要的”，选项B“Fresh air is vital for our health.”中的“vital”也表示“至关重要的”，含义一致。 4．全文围绕马在中国文化中的象征意义、历史作用、语言文化及艺术形象展开，核心主题是马在中国文化中的精神内涵，因此“The Spirit of the Horse in Chinese Culture”是最贴切的标题。 Mortise and tenon joint (榫卯结构) is a traditional Chinese woodworking method. It has a history of over 7, 000 years. This method connects wooden parts without using nails (钉子) or glue. The mortise is a hole cut into one piece of wood, and the tenon is a projection (凸起) on another piece. When they fit together, the joint becomes very strong. Many ancient Chinese buildings, such as the Palace Museum, use mortise and tenon joints. These buildings have stood for hundreds of years, even through storms and earthquakes. That’s because the joint can adjust to (适应) changes in temperature and humidity (湿度). It makes the buildings more stable. Today, mortise and tenon joint is still used by some craftsmen. They make furniture, doors and windows with this method. Many young people are also interested in it. Some schools even teach students about this traditional skill. They want to pass down this valuable cultural heritage. Mortise and tenon joint shows the wisdom of ancient Chinese people. It’s not just a woodworking skill, but also a symbol of Chinese culture. 1．How long is the history of mortise and tenon joint? A．Over 5, 000 years. B．Over 6, 000 years. C．Over 7, 000 years. D．Over 8, 000 years. 2．What does the underlined word “stable” mean in Chinese? A．寒冷的 B．脆弱的 C．潮湿的 D．稳定的 3．Why can ancient buildings with mortise and tenon joints stand for long? A．Because they use many strong nails. B．Because the joints can adjust to weather changes. C．Because they are made of stone.

A．mortise and tenon joints will break easily B．people today are not interested in this traditional skill anymore C．mortise and tenon joints are an important part of Chinese culture D．mortise and tenon joints can only be used for making small things 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了中国传统木工技艺——榫卯结构，包括其历史、特点、在古代建筑中的应用以及现代传承情况。 1．第一段提到“It has a history of over 7,000 years.”，因此榫卯结构有超过7000年的历史。 2．第二段提到榫卯结构能够适应温度和湿度的变化，使建筑更加稳固，因此stable意为“稳定的”。 3．第二段提到“the joint can adjust to changes in temperature and humidity. It makes the buildings more stable.”，因此古代榫卯建筑能够长久存在是因为榫卯结构能够适应天气变化。 4．最后一段提到“It‘s not just a woodworking skill, but also a symbol of Chinese culture.”，因此榫卯结构是中国文化的重要组成部分。A项与“joint becomes very strong”矛盾；B项与“Many young people are also interested in it”矛盾；D项文中提到可用于建筑、家具、门窗等，并非只能做小物件。 The 2026 Spring Festival Gala surprised everyone with an amazing act called “Wu BOT”.

It grew quickly during the Tang Dynasty and reached its golden age in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). In those days, people did not drink tea the same way we do today. They did not just put tea leaves into hot water and wait. Their favorite way to enjoy tea was Diancha—a special and beautiful tea art. ②Making diancha has several steps. First, people warmed the tea bowl with hot water to make it ready for the tea; this step was important to keep the tea’s taste. Next, they put fine tea powder into the bowl and added a small amount of hot water. They mixed them gently together to make a thick paste (茶膏) that looked smooth. ③The most important part was whisking (拂) the tea. They slowly poured more hot water into the bowl, little by little, and stirred the tea again and again with a bamboo whisk. This process needed patience and skill. After careful and patient stirring, thick and white foam (泡沫) appeared on the top of the tea. People believed good diancha should have clean white foam that could stay for a long time without disappearing. ④People in the Song Dynasty loved holding tea competitions called Doucha. They gathered together to compare the colour of the foam and how long it could last (持续). If the foam stuck well to the bowl and did not leave water marks, it was considered the best diancha. Emperor Huizong enjoyed diancha so much that he wrote a book to teach others about this wonderful art and share his love for it. ⑤In 2019, Chinese Diancha was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Today, this wonderful tea art still helps people around the world understand the rich culture of ancient China. 1．When was the golden age of Chinese tea culture? A．In 2019. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In modern times. D．In the Tang Dynasty. 2．What is the correct order of making diancha? ① Warm the tea bowl ② Make a thick paste ③ Keep whisking the tea ④ Create white foam A．①②③④ B．②①④③ C．①③②④ D．①②④③ 3．What is the standard of good diancha? A．Light thin foam. B．Dark tea water. C．Clear water marks. D．Long-lasting white foam. 4．Which is the right structure of the passage? （① = Paragraph 1 ② = Paragraph 2, …） A．B． C． D． 5．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a special tea art. B．To tell the steps of making diancha. C．To explain the history of Chinese tea. D．To show the importance of Chinese tea. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国宋代点茶这一特殊茶艺的步骤、特点及其文化价值。 1．第一段明确指出“It grew quickly during the Tang Dynasty and reached its golden age in the Song Dynasty (960-1279)”，说明中国茶文化的黄金时代是在宋朝。 2．第二段提到“First, people warmed the tea bowl with hot water to make it ready for the tea”，第一步是温茶碗；接着“they put fine tea powder into the bowl and added a small amount of hot water.
