Part 3 Reading (第三部分 阅读) VI. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (A)Directions: Read the passage and choose the best answer. (共12分，每题2分) Have you ever heard of a "culture box"? It's a fascinating way to learn about the world. Students in a school in Canada started a project where they collect items that represent their culture and put them in a box. This box is then sent to a partner school in a different country. The items inside are not just random things; they carry deep cultural meaning. For example, a student from China included a red envelope, a pair of chopsticks, and a small clay figure of the Moon Rabbit. She wrote a letter explaining that the red envelope symbolizes wealth and luck during the Spring Festival, while the Moon Rabbit is a character from the Mid-Autumn Festival story. A student from India included a small “diya” (a traditional oil lamp) and colorful powder used in the Holi festival, representing the victory of light over darkness and the arrival of spring. The purpose of this project is not only to show the differences among cultures but also to help students discover what they all have in common, like the hope for a long life, happiness, and the importance of family. When the Canadian students opened a box from Japan, they found a "kagami mochi" (a mirror-shaped rice cake), which is a traditional decoration for the New Year. They learned that it symbolizes the continuation of family heritage from one generation to the next. One teacher mentioned, "This project is much more powerful than just reading a textbook. When a student holds an object from another country and reads a personal letter, they build a bridge to that culture. They learn that although our traditions are different, our basic human wishes are very similar." This direct connection makes the world feel smaller and much closer. 1. What is a “culture box” mainly filled with? A. Textbooks about world history. B. Items representing a student’s culture. C. Letters from teachers around the world. D. Food from different countries. 2. What does the red envelope symbolize according to the passage? A. A long life and health. B. The victory of light over darkness. C. Wealth and luck during the Spring Festival. D. The continuation of family heritage. 3. The “diya” from India is a symbol of _________. A. the arrival of spring and light overcoming darkness B. wealth and prosperity for the new year C. a character from a traditional story D. a mirror-shaped rice cake 4. What was the purpose of the “kagami mochi” from Japan? A. To play a game with Canadian students. B. To be eaten at the Mid-Autumn Festival. C. To decorate for the New Year and symbolize family heritage. D. To hold a competition between schools. 5. What is the main purpose of the “culture box” project? A. To collect as many interesting objects as possible. B. To replace textbooks with real objects. C. To help students find both cultural differences and similarities. D. To make students travel to other countries. 6. What can we learn from the teacher’s words in the last paragraph? A. Textbooks are useless for learning about culture. B. Personal connection makes cultural learning more powerful. C. All human traditions are exactly the same. D. The project makes students want to collect boxes.

Technology is changing the way we celebrate festivals. In many cities, physical fireworks have been replaced with amazing drone light shows. Thousands of drones, equipped with LED lights, can fly in perfect formation to create three-dimensional images in the night sky, such as a running horse or a blooming flower. This new tradition is not only beautiful but also better for the environment. Traditional fireworks create a lot of smoke and loud noises, which can scare animals and pollute the air. Drones, on the other hand, are quiet, reusable, and produce zero pollution. Another digital tradition is sending virtual red envelopes. Instead of paper envelopes, people now use apps on their smartphones to send "lucky money" to their friends and family. You can even set up a game in a group chat where everyone tries to click or double-click as fast as possible to grab a share of the money. It has become a very popular activity, especially among the young, as it mixes a cultural tradition with modern fun. However, some people worry that we are moving too far away from tradition. They think that nothing can replace the loud bang and bright flash of a firework, or the feeling of a real, paper red envelope in your hand. They believe the purpose of a tradition is to connect us with the past, not just to be convenient. 1. What is one advantage of drone light shows over traditional fireworks? ___________________________________________________________________ 2. How do people send virtual red envelopes? ___________________________________________________________________ 3. Why are virtual red envelopes popular among young people? ___________________________________________________________________ 4. What is the worry some people have about these new digital traditions? ___________________________________________________________________ Part 4 Writing (第四部分 写作) VII.
