From delicate lines to bold brushstrokes, the brush is the medium through which the artist’s emotions and techniques flow onto the paper, creating elegant works of art. The most famous brush, the “Huzhou Brush”, is produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. Ink Traditional Chinese ink comes in solid sticks. To produce liquid ink, one grinds(磨)the inkstick against an inkstone with water. The act of grinding symbolizes patience and dedication highly valued in Chinese culture. High-quality ink, originally black but now available in various colors, is most famously produced in Huizhou, Anhui Province. Paper Chinese paper, especially the ancient rice paper, made from sandalwood bark and rice straw, absorbs ink smoothly without bleeding. The paper serves as a canvas for not only artistic efforts but also documentation, making it a vital component in the preservation of history and culture. “Xuan Paper”, the best paper for writing, is made in Xuanzhou, Anhui Province. Inkstones Inkstones, used for grinding ink, were originally simple pottery tools. Later, they became artistic objects carved from stone that reflect the taste and status of their owners. The choice of inkstone is crucial as it can affect the quality and texture of the ink, further enhancing the artistic expression in calligraphy and painting. The most famous inkstone, “Duan Inkstone”, is produced in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province. With these treasures, Chinese people created unique styles of calligraphy and painting, establishing a distinctive expression system. Today, they continue to inspire artists worldwide, bridging tradition and modernity. 1．Why is grinding ink considered meaningful in Chinese culture? A．Because it is a difficult process. B．Because it produces ink in various colors. C．Because it requires a high-quality inkstone. D．Because it reflects valued morals in China. 2．What can we learn about the Four Treasures of the Study? A．The brush is made from bark. B．Ink is only produced in Huizhou. C．“Xuan Paper” is the best paper for writing. D．Inkstones were originally carved objects. 3．Which column in a paper might the passage come from? A．Technology. B．Travel. C．Lifestyle.

Being near water can lower stress and improve wellbeing — a feeling many travellers are now actively seeking. The following are four coastal activities that are worth a try. Coasteering in Australia Born on the rocky Welsh coast around 40 years ago, coasteering, which combines (融合) rock jumping, sea-cliff climbing and wildlife-spotting, has since got widespread attention worldwide. The Margaret River area in Western Australia is a perfect place for coasteering. There, you can have fun on beautiful beaches, see tall rocks made of granite (花岗岩), and find lots of animals in the ocean. E-biking the Shimanami Kaido, Japan An electric motor is transforming two-wheeled adventures, making climbs effortless and longer coastal roads more accessible. This low-impact, high-reward travel style is popular. E-biking your way along the Shimanami Kaido is the final coastal escape, winding through peaceful fishing villages with white sandy beaches and seafood-rich restaurants. Tide (潮汐) pooling in the Oregon coast, US As coastal communities increasingly prioritize (优先) the protection of their natural habitats, educational tours have won popularity. Family-friendly tide pool tours are among the most popular experiences in regions rich in sea life. The rough Oregon coastline is home to one of the Pacific Coast’s most biodiverse ecosystems, which offers a unique opportunity to explore intertidal ecosystems and observe the attractive ocean creatures that live there. Kayak camping in the Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden If you are an adventure r seeking new ways to test your courage, kayak camping may be a nice solution. The Stockholm Archipelago is made up of over 30,000 islands in the Baltic Sea. Most of these islands have no people living on them. People who love adventure can go kayaking and enjoy the freedom of moving around. They can also camp in the wild and see the natural beauty. 1．What do the first and third activities have in common? A．They involve climbing tall rocks made of granite. B．They offer visitors chances to watch ocean lives. C．They receive great popularity among wealthy families. D．They are especially targeted at experienced adventurers. 2．Which of the following activities can allow travellers to enjoy seafood? A．Coasteering in Australia. B．Tide pooling in the Oregon coast, US. C．E-biking the Shimanami Kaido, Japan. D．Kayak camping in the Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden. 3．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A diary. B．A geography book. C．A research paper. D．A guidebook. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四个值得一试的沿海活动，包括每个活动的起源、特色以及适合的人群等。 1．细节理解题。根据第一个活动“Coasteering in Australia”部分中的“There, you can have fun on beautiful beaches, see tall rocks made of granite (花岗岩), and find lots of animals in the ocean. (在那里，你可以在美丽的海滩上尽情游玩，观赏由花岗岩构成的高耸岩石，还能在海洋中发现许多动物)”可知，在澳大利亚的海岸攀岩活动中，游客可以在海洋中发现很多动物；根据第三个活动“Tide (潮汐) pooling in the Oregon coast, US”部分中的“The rough Oregon coastline is home to one of the Pacific Coast’s most biodiverse ecosystems, which offers a unique opportunity to explore intertidal ecosystems and observe the attractive ocean creatures that live there. (俄勒冈州崎岖的海岸线是太平洋沿岸生物多样性最丰富的生态系统之一，这里为探索潮间带生态系统和观察生活在那里的迷人海洋生物提供了独特的机会)”可知，在美国俄勒冈海岸的潮汐池活动中，游客有机会观察生活在那里的海洋生物，由此可见，第一个和第三个活动的共同之处在于它们都为游客提供了观赏海洋生物的机会。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二个活动“E-biking the Shimanami Kaido, Japan”部分中的“E-biking your way along the Shimanami Kaido is the final coastal escape, winding through peaceful fishing villages with white sandy beaches and seafood-rich restaurants.

Passage 8 （2025高一下·湖南怀化·期末）Four Treasures of the Study Brushes The brush, made from animal hair, is the tool bringing life to the paper. From delicate lines to bold brushstrokes, the brush is the medium through which the artist’s emotions and techniques flow onto the paper, creating elegant works of art. The most famous brush, the “Huzhou Brush”, is produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. Ink Traditional Chinese ink comes in solid sticks. To produce liquid ink, one grinds(磨)the inkstick against an inkstone with water. The act of grinding symbolizes patience and dedication highly valued in Chinese culture. High-quality ink, originally black but now available in various colors, is most famously produced in Huizhou, Anhui Province. Paper Chinese paper, especially the ancient rice paper, made from sandalwood bark and rice straw, absorbs ink smoothly without bleeding. The paper serves as a canvas for not only artistic efforts but also documentation, making it a vital component in the preservation of history and culture. “Xuan Paper”, the best paper for writing, is made in Xuanzhou, Anhui Province. Inkstones Inkstones, used for grinding ink, were originally simple pottery tools. Later, they became artistic objects carved from stone that reflect the taste and status of their owners. The choice of inkstone is crucial as it can affect the quality and texture of the ink, further enhancing the artistic expression in calligraphy and painting. The most famous inkstone, “Duan Inkstone”, is produced in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province. With these treasures, Chinese people created unique styles of calligraphy and painting, establishing a distinctive expression system. Today, they continue to inspire artists worldwide, bridging tradition and modernity. 1．Why is grinding ink considered meaningful in Chinese culture? A．Because it is a difficult process.
