East or West Left or right Up or down East Right West Left Down When going shopping,Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei.A theory says that in the Tang Dynasty,there were two popular markets in Chang'an,the national capital at the time.One was called the East Market,and the other was called the West Market.When shopping,people usually went to the East Market first,and then went to the West Market.As time went by,people started to describe shopping as maidongxi. We use shangcesuo to mean "go to the bathroom"and xiachufang to mean "o to the kitchen".Why?In ancient times,houses were laid out (in a certain way.The gate of the house would face south,with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part.On maps,north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom.In Chinese,we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia.So people would say 第7页共14页 a^“x"1.%o¤ 2025-2026学年第二学期期末考试卷 they're going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to (directions but also social positions.For example,people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. Most people today are right-handed.They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks.This was true in old times as well.So in ancient China, "left"was related to(与有关联)being different,,such as in yijianxiangzuo.If people don't accept commn beliefs(信念)，westill say they are following the_▲path, When shaking hands,it's important to know which hand to use.In most cultures,the right hand is generally used for a handshake.For example,in some countries,such as India and Nepal,the left hand is considered unclean.However,if you are in a culture where the left hand is used,you'd better do as the locals do. 51.Why does the writer mention shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo at the beginning? A.To tell a story. B.To introduce the topic. C.To give an example. D.To solve a mystery. 52.Which of the following Chinese expression can be used as an example in"Where to buy things'”? A.东边日出西边雨。 B.任尔东西南北风。 C.青山横北郭，白水绕东城。 D.东市买骏马，西市买鞍鞯。 53.Which word can be put in▲_？ A.left B.right C.top D.bottom 54.Which picture shows the layout of houses in ancient China according to the passage?

The film is based 82 real stories of overseas Chinese.It focuses on an elderly Chaoshan grandma who spent half her life 83 (wait)for letters from her husband in Southeast Asia.The special letters called qiaopi are traditional mails with money,which were recognized by UNESCO in 2013. There is a84(surprise)twist (in the story.After the grandmother's grandson faces financial troubles in Thailand,he starts to uncover the 85 (true).To his shock,he discovers that the person exchanging letters with his "Amah" (grandma)for nearly 20 years was not his long-gone grandfather, 86 a stranger-a kind-hearted woman named Xie Nanzhi.To protect the Amah from the pain of losing her loved one,Xie 87(secret)wrote letters pretending to be the grandfather for two decades. The film's emotional power also comes from88(it)use of the Teochew dialect. Over 95%of the dialogue is in this local language.The movie also shows many local customs, such as drinking Kungfu tea,eating olive vegetables,and taking part in traditional parades. This film 89 (direct)Lan Hongchun said the film is not just"a love letter to grandma"but "a love letter to all overseas Chinese and to our homeland".By telling a story that mixes family love with a sense of 90(nation)duty,the film shows that the Chaoshan people's hard work,honesty,and love for their country are qualities that can touch anyone's heart. 第13页共14页 回 a^“"1.%。a 2025-2026学年第二学期期末考试卷 IX.书面表达（满分15分） 91.“人生没有白走的路，每一步都藏着未来的伏笔。”成长是一个积累的过程，每一段 经历都有意义，都能助你成长。这段经历也许是你读了一本好书，体会一次情绪低落的 感受，参加一次有意义的志愿者活动。假如学校公众号以My Story in My Growth为 题征稿，请选择1项经历，讲述你的成长故事，并谈谈你的感受。 要求： 写作要点： 1.你的成长故事；2.你的感受。 要求：1.不少于100词 2.覆盖所有要点，可适当发挥 3语句通顺，逻辑清晰，书写规范 My Story in My Growth 第14页共14页 回 a^“6"1.%。a
