B Drinking warm water, doing taiji.…Many foreigners are trying these Chinese habits and posting their videos on TikTok. It has become a social media trend called “Becoming Chinese”! In one popular video, a man pours hot water with honey while guzheng music plays. He said it helps “restart (重启)the body…getting better one small drink at a time. ” Another user shared her experience at a dim sum (点心)restaurant, calling it “a very Chinese time in my life. ” Chinese culture values living in peace with nature and keeping a balance between yin and yang (阴阳), the Global Times said. These lifestyles can bring calm and order in a fast-changing world. As Western societies face more and more uncertainty (不确定性), people want to find new ways of living. “Many young people abroad have a positive view of China,” CCTV said. This shows China’s growing soft power. It means foreigners are changing their minds: instead of just watching Chinese culture from far away, they are now taking part in it. This trend is a “grassroots (草根的), peer-to-peer (点对点的)cultural exchange”, Qu Qiang from Minzu University of China told China Daily. “Foreign netizens (网民)are taking up small, daily habits that we Chinese people don’t even think of as ‘culture’. ” Chinese products have been important in Western life for many years, from Chinese phones and AI models to toys like Labubu. The trend is a natural result of this influence, US tech magazine Wired said. 41. Why does the writer give two examples in Paragraph 2? A. To show popular videos about food. B. To show the “Becoming Chinese” trend. C. To suggest how to start a TikTok trend. D. To introduce some Chinese users on TikTok. 42. According to Paragraph 3, why do some Westerners try Chinese lifestyles? A. To find calm and peace. B. To get closer to nature. C. To change the world around them. D. To prepare for trips to China. 43. What does this new trend show? A. Chinese people love sharing their culture. B. Internet culture is changing quickly. C. Chinese culture has a growing influence. D. New cultures form as people communicate. 44. What might Wired magazine think of the trend? A. It is risky and crazy. B. It is surprising and funny. C. It is strange and unusual. D. It is expected and normal. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to make popular TikTok videos about Chinese habits. B. The “Becoming Chinese” trend shows China’s rising soft power C. Why Chinese lifestyles are better than Western ones. D. Different ways to learn about Chinese traditional culture. C For centuries, Chinese people have used folding fans to cool themselves and have regarded them as a symbol of culture and wisdom. Among them, the Rongchang folding fan, which is from Chongqing’s Rongchang District, is one of the most famous. In 2008, it was listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产) . The history of Rongchang folding fans dates back to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Rongchang became a centre for handmade fan production because of its high-quality bamboo and skilled workers. Over time, the fans have become well-known for being strong and beautiful. Creating a Rongchang folding fan is a highly skilled process. Making each fan requires over 70 steps, including cutting and painting. Workers usually spend years learning these skills to make sure the fans meet high standards (标准) . During the process, one of the most important parts is to choose the material. Workers need to use thin but strong bamboo, making fans easy to carry. At the same time, the material makes Rongchang folding fans special. As dynasties rose and fell, the Rongchang folding fan continually reinvented its cultural role. From being a tool to a cultural symbol, it shows that true craftsmanship (手艺) not only serves practical needs, but also carries cultural meaning. In ancient China, many of Rongchang folding fans were hand-painted with traditional Chinese calligraphy or paintings, turning each one into a piece of art. Poets wrote poems on them, and performers used them in traditional dances and operas. Though fewer people need hand-held fans nowadays, Rongchang folding fans are popular among collectors and are often given as cultural gifts. Old workers are not only training the next generation but also exploring creative designs to attract more young people. Rongchang folding fans have become a living art form that continues to spread to more people. 46. Why did Rongchang become a centre for handmade fan production in the Ming Dynasty? A. Because it had many famous poets. B. Because it was near Chongqing. C. Because it had high-quality bamboo and skilled workers. D. Because fans there were cheap and popular. 47. What makes Rongchang folding fans special? A. Their large size and heavy weight. B. Their thin but strong bamboo. C. Their modern and creative designs. D. Their famous and beautiful paintings. 48. What does the underlined word “reinvented” most probably mean? A. forgot B. changed C. lost D. broke 49. What does the writer think of the future of Rongchang folding fans? A. Hopeful. B. Difficult. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain. 50. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To encourage more people to buy Rongchang folding fans. B. To compare Rongchang folding fans with other types of fans. C. To teach young people how to make a Rongchang folding fan. D. To introduce the history and importance of Rongchang folding fans. 第二节 阅读还原 阅读下面短文，并从方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯，并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。（共5个小题，每小题2分） China is making big efforts to help people control their weight and live healthier lives.
