期末复习之阅读回答问题16篇 （广州专用） The Water-Splashing Festival is one of the most important traditional celebrations of the Dai people in southern China. It usually falls in mid-April and lasts three to seven days. The festival marks the Dai New Year and is a time for cleaning, blessing, and joy. The most famous activity is, of course, splashing water. People throw water at each other using buckets, bowls, or even water guns. The water is believed to wash away bad luck and bring good health and happiness in the new year. Everyone becomes a target. No one gets angry when they are soaked; instead, laughter fills the streets. Besides splashing water, there are many other activities. People dress up in their traditional clothes. They visit temples to pray and offer food to the monks. In some villages, people hold dragon boat races and light lanterns on the river. The festival is not just about fun. It also has a deep cultural meaning. The Dai people believe that water represents (代表) purity and kindness. By splashing water, they express good wishes to others.

He makes long travel videos of places forgotten by history. Most of them run over 20 minutes, yet millions of people love them.     In March 2025, Xiaozhong shared a video about a forgotten place—Pingyuan Province. The place only lasted from 1949 to 1952. Today, few people remember it—not even those living in Xinxiang, the capital of Pingyuan. With a map from the time, Xiaozhong walked through the city, meeting locals and asking questions. Slowly, the lost history came back to life. One big discovery was the People’s Victory Canal (灌溉渠). It was important for managing the Yellow River during the early years of the People’s Republic of China. The Yellow River used to flood (发洪水) and hurt many people. But after the canal was finished in 1952, it helped stop the floods. While filming, Xiaozhong met an old man. Later, the man’s grandson saw the video and left a warm message. Things like this are very special to Xiaozhong. “These small meet-ups, online and in person, are very meaningful,” he said. Xiaozhong’s interest in unknown places comes from his own background (背景). He is Hakka (客家人) and grew up in Puning, Guangdong, where Hakka and Chaoshan cultures mix. As a child, he felt he didn’t belong to (属于) either culture and felt he was forgotten by both. But now, through travel, he learns about others—and himself. “Every journey teaches me something,” Xiaozhong said. “The more I see of the world, the more I understand who I am. The world is wide, and full of voices waiting to be heard.” 1．How long do most of Xiaozhong’s travel videos last? 2．When did Xiaozhong share the video about Pingyuan Province? 3．How did the People’s Victory Canal help people? 4．What does Xiaozhong think of those small meet-ups online and in person? 5．How does Xiaozhong learn about himself? 【答案】1．Most of his travel videos last over 20 minutes./They last over 20 minutes. 2．He shared the video about Pingyuan Province in March 2025./In March 2025. 3．It helped stop the Yellow River floods and protect people from floods. 4．He thinks they are very meaningful. 5．He learns about himself through travel. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了旅行博主小钟把探访冷门古迹的兴趣做成职业，讲述他的经历、作品与人生感悟。 1．根据第一段中的“Most of them run over 20 minutes, yet millions of people love them.”可知，他的大部分视频时长在20分钟以上。 2．根据第二段中的“In March 2025, Xiaozhong shared a video about a forgotten place—Pingyuan Province.”可知，2025年3月，小钟分享了平原省的视频。 3．根据第三段中的“One big discovery was the People’s Victory Canal (灌溉渠)…The Yellow River used to flood (发洪水) and hurt many people.

Yu Min was born in Tianjin in 1926. In 1946, Yu went to Peking University to study physics. In 1961, when Yu was given the task of researching the hydrogen bomb, he accepted it without thinking. For the next 28 years, he kept his work a secret and stayed hidden from the public. Even his wife didn’t know his job. To develop China’s own hydrogen bomb quickly, Yu worked tirelessly. He guided his team to create breakthroughs and form a complete design of the hydrogen bomb after three months of calculations (计算). After working in a hard environment for a long time, his body became weak. But he never gave up. On 16 October 1964, China’s first atomic bomb exploded (爆炸) successfully.

Yu came back to public view in 1999, getting the “Two Bombs, One Satellite Merit Award” for his work, together with some other scientists such as Sun Jiadong, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Xuesen and Deng Jiaxian.

The most popular hobbies among students are reading, sports, painting and music. 45% of the students hope to work in fields related to their hobbies. 30% of students just take hobbies as daily relaxation and have no plan to turn them into careers. 25% of students have no clear hobbies or career plans. The survey also finds some problems. Many students like certain hobbies, but they are not willing to make efforts to improve relevant skills. They only enjoy the fun of hobbies but refuse professional training. Besides, some students change their hobbies very often.

He makes long travel videos of places forgotten by history. Most of them run over 20 minutes, yet millions of people love them.     In March 2025, Xiaozhong shared a video about a forgotten place—Pingyuan Province. The place only lasted from 1949 to 1952. Today, few people remember it—not even those living in Xinxiang, the capital of Pingyuan. With a map from the time, Xiaozhong walked through the city, meeting locals and asking questions. Slowly, the lost history came back to life. One big discovery was the People’s Victory Canal (灌溉渠). It was important for managing the Yellow River during the early years of the People’s Republic of China. The Yellow River used to flood (发洪水) and hurt many people. But after the canal was finished in 1952, it helped stop the floods. While filming, Xiaozhong met an old man. Later, the man’s grandson saw the video and left a warm message. Things like this are very special to Xiaozhong. “These small meet-ups, online and in person, are very meaningful,” he said. Xiaozhong’s interest in unknown places comes from his own background (背景). He is Hakka (客家人) and grew up in Puning, Guangdong, where Hakka and Chaoshan cultures mix. As a child, he felt he didn’t belong to (属于) either culture and felt he was forgotten by both. But now, through travel, he learns about others—and himself. “Every journey teaches me something,” Xiaozhong said. “The more I see of the world, the more I understand who I am. The world is wide, and full of voices waiting to be heard.” 1．How long do most of Xiaozhong’s travel videos last? 2．When did Xiaozhong share the video about Pingyuan Province? 3．How did the People’s Victory Canal help people? 4．What does Xiaozhong think of those small meet-ups online and in person? 5．How does Xiaozhong learn about himself? Yu Min was an important Chinese nuclear physicist, and he is known as the “father of the Hydrogen Bomb (氢弹)”. Yu Min was born in Tianjin in 1926. In 1946, Yu went to Peking University to study physics. In 1961, when Yu was given the task of researching the hydrogen bomb, he accepted it without thinking. For the next 28 years, he kept his work a secret and stayed hidden from the public. Even his wife didn’t know his job. To develop China’s own hydrogen bomb quickly, Yu worked tirelessly. He guided his team to create breakthroughs and form a complete design of the hydrogen bomb after three months of calculations (计算). After working in a hard environment for a long time, his body became weak. But he never gave up. On 16 October 1964, China’s first atomic bomb exploded (爆炸) successfully. Later, on 17 June 1967, China’s first hydrogen bomb exploded, making China the fastest country to go from atomic bomb to hydrogen bomb, much quicker than the USA (about 7.5 years), France (about 8.5 years) or the UK (about 4.5 years). Yu came back to public view in 1999, getting the “Two Bombs, One Satellite Merit Award” for his work, together with some other scientists such as Sun Jiadong, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Xuesen and Deng Jiaxian. In 2015, Yu won the National Science and Technology Award. In January 2019, Yu passed away, leaving his deep love for the country and his memorable contributions. 1．Where was Yu born? 2．What did Yu study at university? 3．How long did Yu keep his work a secret? 4．When did China’s first atomic bomb explode successfully? 5．What award did Yu win in 2015? 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 On April 13, Chinese picture book artist Cai Gao won the Hans Christian Andersen Award (国际安徒生奖).
