Part 3 Reading (第三部分 阅读)
VI. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (共40分)
(A)Directions: Read the passage and choose the best answer. (共12分,每题2分)
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming a powerful tool for preserving cultural heritage. Imagine walking through a 600-year-old temple that no longer exists, or watching a traditional ceremony that hasn't been performed for decades. With VR, this is now possible. Specialists can digitally recreate historical sites and events, allowing people from across the world to experience them as if they were really there. This technology is not just about looking; it’s about experiencing. A user can wear a VR headset and "walk" around ancient Rome, "click" on objects to learn their history, and even "talk" to digital recreations of historical figures.
This is especially important for traditions that are in danger of being lost. In some small communities, the number of people who know how to perform a ritual dance or a song is declining. By recording them and creating a VR experience, this culture can be passed on to future generations in a much more attractive way than just a textbook or a video. The purpose is to create an emotional connection with the past.
However, some people argue that a digital copy can never replace a real, physical place or a live performance. They say the feeling of being in a real ancient forest, smelling the earth, or hearing the echoes in a real stone temple is part of the culture itself. Despite this, most agree that VR is one of the best ways we have to protect our global traditions and make them accessible to everyone, especially for people who are physically unable to travel.
1. According to the passage, what can you do in a VR cultural experience?
A. Only watch videos of ancient places.
B. Click on objects and learn their history.
C. Physically touch real historical objects.
D. Travel back in time to change history.
2. Why is VR important for endangered traditions?
A. It can replace old people who know the traditions.
B. It makes it cheaper to hold traditional ceremonies.
C. It helps pass on culture in an attractive way.
D. It stops people from leaving small communities.
3. What does the word “declining” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Growing. B. Becoming larger. C. Becoming smaller. D. Improving.
4. What is a concern some people have about VR culture?
A. It is too expensive for small communities to use.
B. A digital copy cannot replace the real physical experience.
C. The technology is not advanced enough to be realistic.
D. Young people are not interested in using VR headsets.
5. What is one of the main purposes of using VR for cultural heritage?
A. To encourage more people to travel to real sites.
B. To create an emotional connection with the past.
C. To sell more VR headsets to schools.

(D) Answer the Questions (回答问题) (共4分,每题1分)
Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions.
A new study from a psychology department suggests that family traditions play a key role in making festivals feel special. The research found that it's not the big events like fireworks or large dinners that people remember most, but the small, repeated traditions. These could be things like a special walk across the park on Christmas Eve, a specific song that is always played while cooking, or a game the family always plays together.
These small traditions serve a very deep purpose. They give families a sense of identity, a feeling of "this is what we do, and this is who we are." They act as anchors in our fast-changing world, creating memories that can last a lifetime. The study also found that in wealthy families, traditions often involve buying expensive things. However, in families with less wealth, traditions are more likely to be about spending time together and creating shared experiences. Interestingly, the study found that the happiness people felt from traditions was not linked to how much money was spent. A simple tradition, like making porridge together on a specific holiday, could be more meaningful than an expensive gift.
The researchers concluded that the most successful traditions are those that are easy to repeat and allow everyone to take part. They hope their research will encourage families to create and keep their own unique traditions, no matter how small, because they are the true source of festive happiness.
1. According to the study, what kind of festival traditions do people remember most?

3. What did the study find about the link between money and happiness from traditions?

VIII. 写作
Dear Anna,
How are you? I'm writing to tell you about the Lantern Festival, my favorite traditional festival. It falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, marking the end of the Spring Festival.
My favorite tradition is eating sweet dumplings, which symbolize family togetherness. But the most exciting part is guessing lantern riddles. The purpose of this activity is not just for fun; it's a cultural tradition that started in ancient China. We also make wishes as we release lanterns into the sky. My hope is that this beautiful tradition will be passed on forever. I wish you could join me next year!
Yours,
Wang Mei
