The first episode was made by a group of hotel-service students. Instead of reading a list of animal names, they opened with a question: 'If someone asks your animal sign, what story can you share?' The question immediately made the recording sound like a conversation rather than a lecture. The group divided the episode into three parts. In the first part, they explained the 12-year cycle with a simple example: a person born in 2006 is under the sign of Dog, and 2018 is also a Dog year. In the second part, they compared four symbols. Ox suggested steady work, Tiger suggested bravery, Sheep suggested peace, and Rooster suggested firmness. In the third part, they told the legend of Rat and Ox, but they used short pauses after important events so listeners could follow the order. After the recording, their teacher praised the clear structure but asked them to change one sentence. A student had said, 'People born in the year of Tiger are always brave.' The teacher explained that always was too strong. The group changed it into 'Tiger is often connected with bravery.' This small change made the introduction more respectful. The program later received many messages from younger students. Some shared their birth-year stories; others asked how to introduce signs to foreign friends. The group learned that a good cultural podcast needs facts, structure and careful language. More importantly, it should invite listeners to join the conversation. 21. Why did the first episode begin with a question? A. To make the recording feel more like a conversation. B. To test whether listeners could name all animals. C. To avoid giving any information about the zodiac. D. To ask listeners to stop sharing stories. 22. What can we learn about the second part of the episode? A. It compared several signs by their symbolic qualities. B. It only explained one Dog year. C. It corrected every grammar mistake. D. It invited visitors to buy museum tickets. 23. Why did the teacher ask the group to change the sentence about Tiger? A. The group forgot to mention the animal name. B. The sentence was too short for a podcast. C. The word always made the statement too absolute. D. Tiger should be connected only with peace. 24. What happened after the program was broadcast? A. The radio station stopped all culture programs. B. Listeners refused to share birth-year stories. C. The teacher asked students to remove facts. D. Younger students sent messages and questions. 25. What is the writer's main purpose in the text? A. To prove podcasts should use difficult words. B. To show how a student group made a respectful cultural podcast. C. To list the exact years of all animal signs. D. To explain why legends should not be told. 【答案】21.A 22.A 23.C 24.D 25.B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道式说明文，介绍学校广播站生肖英文播客的制作过程。学生通过问题导入、分层结构、传说叙述和谨慎措辞，让文化介绍更像交流，也更尊重听众和具体个体。 【详解】21. 细节理解题。第一段说明问题导入让录音听起来像 conversation rather than a lecture。 22. 细节理解题。第二段第二部分比较 Ox、Tiger、Sheep、Rooster 的象征品质。 23. 因果推理题。第三段指出 always 过于强烈，因此改成 often connected with。 24. 细节理解题。最后一段说明年轻学生发来信息，有人分享故事，有人提问。 25. 写作目的题。全文展示学生如何制作结构清楚、语言谨慎的文化播客，B项符合。 C During an exchange activity, Wang Ke guided two guests from Singapore around the school culture room. On one wall hung twelve animal pictures. The guests stopped and asked why the pictures were arranged in a circle. Wang Ke smiled, but he suddenly felt nervous. He knew the order, yet he was not sure how to explain it without sounding childish. He took a deep breath and began with a familiar example. 'The animal signs form a 12-year cycle,' he said. 'For example, 2006 and 2018 are both Dog years.' The guests nodded. Encouraged, Wang Ke continued to explain several symbols. He said Ox often stood for hard work and Dog for trustiness. When he introduced Dragon, one guest asked whether everyone in a Dragon year must be strong. Wang Ke almost answered yes, but he remembered his teacher's advice about careful words. 'Not exactly,' he said. 'These are traditional symbolic meanings. They can help us start a conversation, but they do not decide a person's whole character.' The guest smiled and said that this explanation was balanced. Then Wang Ke invited them to choose one sign and write two keywords beside it. One guest chose Rabbit and wrote careful and gentle; the other chose Horse and wrote purposeful and energetic. After the visit, Wang Ke wrote in his reflection that a good guide should do more than remember facts. He should notice listeners' questions, adjust his language and leave space for different ideas. That afternoon, the twelve pictures on the wall no longer looked like simple animals to him. They looked like twelve small doors to communication. 26. Why did Wang Ke feel nervous at first? A. He forgot where the culture room was. B. He did not know how to explain the circular pictures properly. C. The guests refused to look at the pictures. D. The teacher asked him to stop guiding. 27. How did Wang Ke make the 12-year cycle easier to understand? A. By asking the guests to memorize all birth years. B. By drawing a new poster during the visit. C. By giving the example of 2006 and 2018 Dog years. D. By reading a long paragraph about history. 28. What does the guest's question about Dragon test Wang Ke's ability to do? A. To use careful language instead of absolute judgment. B. To sell culture-room tickets quickly. C. To prove Dragon is better than other signs. D. To avoid answering cultural questions. 29. What did the guests do after Wang Ke's balanced explanation? A. They chose signs and wrote keywords. B. They left without saying anything. C. They corrected the order of the cycle. D. They asked him to remove the Dragon picture. 30. What is the main idea of Wang Ke's reflection? A. A guide should speak as fast as possible to finish early. B. A guide should tell visitors one fixed answer about every sign. C. A guide should avoid examples when explaining culture. D. A guide should memorize facts, respond to listeners and respect different ideas. 【答案】26.B 27.C 28.A 29.A 30.D 【导语】本文是一篇人文交际类记叙文，讲述王可在交流活动中向来访客人介绍生肖文化的经历。他从紧张到能够用例子、谨慎措辞和互动任务完成讲解，体现了文化沟通中的事实准确、语言调整和尊重意识。 【详解】26. 细节理解题。第一段说明他知道顺序，但不确定如何解释才不显得幼稚。 27. 细节理解题。第二段用2006和2018同为Dog年解释十二年循环。 28. 推理判断题。客人问 Dragon 年出生者是否一定强大，考查他说话是否避免绝对判断。 29. 细节理解题。第三段末尾说明客人选择生肖并写下关键词。 30. 主旨理解题。最后一段指出好讲解员需记事实、关注问题、调整语言并保留不同想法空间。 D When a cultural symbol travels from one language to another, it may lose some nuance. The Chinese zodiac is a good example. In Chinese, a person may talk about an animal sign with family memory, festival customs and friendly jokes. In English, however, listeners who know little about the tradition may first hear only an animal name. A speaker therefore needs to add context. Context can be added in three ways. First, give structure. Explain that the zodiac is a 12-year cycle starting with Rat and ending with Pig. Second, give examples. Instead of saying 'many meanings exist', mention that Ox is connected with hard work or Sheep with peace. Third, give limits. Make it clear that these meanings are symbolic ideas, not fixed descriptions of all people born in the same year. The underlined word nuance means a small difference in meaning, feeling or tone. Without nuance, a cultural introduction may become too simple. For instance, saying 'Rabbit people are careful' sounds like a rule, while saying 'Rabbit often symbolizes carefulness' sounds more balanced. The second sentence keeps the cultural meaning but leaves space for real people. For vocational students, this ability is practical. They may introduce local culture to customers, classmates or online partners. If they only translate words, the message may be flat. If they explain structure, examples and limits, the message becomes clearer and more respectful. Good cultural communication is not a one-way performance. It is a bridge built by accurate information and careful listening. 31. What problem is mentioned in Paragraph 1 when the zodiac is introduced in English? A. Listeners may hear only animal names without enough context. B. The animal order changes completely in English. C. Family stories cannot be shared in any language. D. English speakers never ask questions about culture. 32. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about a good introduction? A. It should hide limits to sound more confident. B. It should combine structure, examples and careful limits. C. It should replace examples with long lists of years. D. It should avoid explaining symbolic meanings. 33. What does the underlined word 'nuance' mean in the passage? A. A large mistake in spelling. B. A small difference in meaning or tone. C. A secret order of the animals. D. A fixed rule for everyone. 34. Why is 'Rabbit often symbolizes carefulness' better than 'Rabbit people are careful'? A. It uses fewer English words. B. It turns a symbol into a strict rule. C. It removes the cultural meaning of Rabbit. D. It sounds more balanced and leaves space for real people. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Translating Animal Names Word by Word B. Keeping Nuance in Zodiac Communication C. Why Rabbit Is the Only Careful Sign D. The Fastest Way to Memorize the Cycle 【答案】31.A 32.B 33.B 34.D 35.B 【导语】本文是一篇社科科普说理文，讨论生肖文化从中文语境进入英文表达时可能丢失的细微含义。文章提出通过结构、例子和限制性表达补充语境，使文化介绍更准确、平衡且具有尊重感。 【详解】31. 细节理解题。第一段指出不熟悉传统的听者可能只听到动物名称，因此需要补充语境。 32. 推理判断题。第二段提出三种补充语境方式：结构、例子和限制，B项概括准确。 33. 词义猜测题。第三段直接解释 nuance 是 meaning、feeling 或 tone 的细小差异。 34. 推理判断题。第三段比较两句，第二句更 balanced，并为真实的人保留空间。 35. 主旨标题题。全文围绕跨语言介绍生肖时保留 nuance 展开，B项最合适。 三、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to think that telling a Chinese zodiac story in English meant translating every sentence word for word. This idea changed after I joined a school storytelling contest. My topic was the legend of Rat and Ox. In my first draft, I wrote many details but forgot to make the order _______ 36 _______. My classmate could not tell why Rat reached the palace first. She advised me to build the story around three scenes: the river, Ox's help and Rat's final jump. I revised the draft and added short pauses _______ 37 _______ each scene. During the second practice, I made another mistake. I said, 'Rat was clever, so people born in Rat years are always clever.' My teacher stopped me _______ 38 _______. She explained that symbolic meanings should be introduced carefully. A sign may give people a first _______ 39 _______, but it should not become a fixed label. I changed the sentence into 'Rat is often connected with cleverness in the story.'

I believe this is a better way to _______ 44 _______ culture. A small animal sign can open a large conversation if we use it _______ 45 _______. 36. A. clear B. heavy C. silent D. strange 37.

Today I would like to introduce the Chinese zodiac signs. They form a 12-year cycle, and each year is named after an animal, such as Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit and Dragon. Different signs are connected with different symbolic meanings. For example, Ox is often connected with hard work, while Tiger may stand for bravery and strength. Dog can remind people of trustiness, and Sheep is usually a symbol of peace. However, these meanings are cultural ideas, not fixed rules. We should not judge a person only by his or her animal sign. I hope this introduction helps you understand Chinese traditional culture better. You are welcome to share your own animal sign or a similar cultural story with us. 【词汇积累】12-year cycle 十二年循环；be named after 以……命名；be connected with 与……有关；symbolic meaning 象征意义；stand for 代表；fixed rule 固定规则；judge 判断；traditional culture 传统文化。 【句式拓展】1. Different signs are connected with different symbolic meanings. 可替换为：Different signs carry different symbolic meanings. 2. We should not judge a person only by his or her animal sign. 可替换为：It is not proper to judge a person only according to his or her animal sign. 【点睛】范文采用讲解稿格式，先欢迎听众并介绍十二年循环，再举例说明生肖象征意义，随后强调文化符号不能等同固定规则，最后邀请交流，体现了清晰、礼貌、开放的文化表达。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 编写说明：本套试卷紧扣《英语 基础模块3》（语文版2022版）教材，以教材单元为基准精准覆盖核心考点。 每个单元设置AB卷，A卷为基础巩固卷，侧重基础考点训练，帮助学生扎实掌握知识要点；B卷为能力提升卷，注重知识整合与全面检测，引导学生构建知识网络。全书设计4份综合测试卷，模拟实战情境，聚焦解题能力突破，全面提升应试能力与知识应用水平。 《英语 基础模块3》（语文版2022版）《单元过关卷》 Unit 7 Chinese Zodiac Signs B卷·能力提升 考试时间：120分钟 满分：100分 班级_____姓名_____学号_____成绩_____ 一、情景交际（共15小题；满分20分） 第一节 读下列10个短对话，从题后所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 1. —Some visitors think the zodiac simply tells fortune.

The first episode was made by a group of hotel-service students. Instead of reading a list of animal names, they opened with a question: 'If someone asks your animal sign, what story can you share?' The question immediately made the recording sound like a conversation rather than a lecture. The group divided the episode into three parts. In the first part, they explained the 12-year cycle with a simple example: a person born in 2006 is under the sign of Dog, and 2018 is also a Dog year. In the second part, they compared four symbols. Ox suggested steady work, Tiger suggested bravery, Sheep suggested peace, and Rooster suggested firmness. In the third part, they told the legend of Rat and Ox, but they used short pauses after important events so listeners could follow the order. After the recording, their teacher praised the clear structure but asked them to change one sentence. A student had said, 'People born in the year of Tiger are always brave.' The teacher explained that always was too strong. The group changed it into 'Tiger is often connected with bravery.' This small change made the introduction more respectful. The program later received many messages from younger students. Some shared their birth-year stories; others asked how to introduce signs to foreign friends. The group learned that a good cultural podcast needs facts, structure and careful language. More importantly, it should invite listeners to join the conversation. 21. Why did the first episode begin with a question? A. To make the recording feel more like a conversation. B. To test whether listeners could name all animals. C. To avoid giving any information about the zodiac. D. To ask listeners to stop sharing stories. 22. What can we learn about the second part of the episode? A. It compared several signs by their symbolic qualities. B. It only explained one Dog year. C. It corrected every grammar mistake. D. It invited visitors to buy museum tickets. 23. Why did the teacher ask the group to change the sentence about Tiger? A. The group forgot to mention the animal name. B. The sentence was too short for a podcast. C. The word always made the statement too absolute. D. Tiger should be connected only with peace. 24. What happened after the program was broadcast? A. The radio station stopped all culture programs. B. Listeners refused to share birth-year stories. C. The teacher asked students to remove facts. D. Younger students sent messages and questions. 25. What is the writer's main purpose in the text? A. To prove podcasts should use difficult words. B. To show how a student group made a respectful cultural podcast. C. To list the exact years of all animal signs. D. To explain why legends should not be told. C During an exchange activity, Wang Ke guided two guests from Singapore around the school culture room. On one wall hung twelve animal pictures. The guests stopped and asked why the pictures were arranged in a circle. Wang Ke smiled, but he suddenly felt nervous. He knew the order, yet he was not sure how to explain it without sounding childish. He took a deep breath and began with a familiar example. 'The animal signs form a 12-year cycle,' he said. 'For example, 2006 and 2018 are both Dog years.' The guests nodded. Encouraged, Wang Ke continued to explain several symbols. He said Ox often stood for hard work and Dog for trustiness. When he introduced Dragon, one guest asked whether everyone in a Dragon year must be strong. Wang Ke almost answered yes, but he remembered his teacher's advice about careful words. 'Not exactly,' he said. 'These are traditional symbolic meanings. They can help us start a conversation, but they do not decide a person's whole character.' The guest smiled and said that this explanation was balanced. Then Wang Ke invited them to choose one sign and write two keywords beside it. One guest chose Rabbit and wrote careful and gentle; the other chose Horse and wrote purposeful and energetic. After the visit, Wang Ke wrote in his reflection that a good guide should do more than remember facts. He should notice listeners' questions, adjust his language and leave space for different ideas. That afternoon, the twelve pictures on the wall no longer looked like simple animals to him. They looked like twelve small doors to communication. 26. Why did Wang Ke feel nervous at first? A. He forgot where the culture room was. B. He did not know how to explain the circular pictures properly. C. The guests refused to look at the pictures. D. The teacher asked him to stop guiding. 27. How did Wang Ke make the 12-year cycle easier to understand? A. By asking the guests to memorize all birth years. B. By drawing a new poster during the visit. C. By giving the example of 2006 and 2018 Dog years. D. By reading a long paragraph about history. 28. What does the guest's question about Dragon test Wang Ke's ability to do? A. To use careful language instead of absolute judgment. B. To sell culture-room tickets quickly. C. To prove Dragon is better than other signs. D. To avoid answering cultural questions. 29. What did the guests do after Wang Ke's balanced explanation? A. They chose signs and wrote keywords. B. They left without saying anything. C. They corrected the order of the cycle. D. They asked him to remove the Dragon picture. 30. What is the main idea of Wang Ke's reflection? A. A guide should speak as fast as possible to finish early. B. A guide should tell visitors one fixed answer about every sign. C. A guide should avoid examples when explaining culture. D. A guide should memorize facts, respond to listeners and respect different ideas. D When a cultural symbol travels from one language to another, it may lose some nuance. The Chinese zodiac is a good example. In Chinese, a person may talk about an animal sign with family memory, festival customs and friendly jokes. In English, however, listeners who know little about the tradition may first hear only an animal name. A speaker therefore needs to add context. Context can be added in three ways. First, give structure. Explain that the zodiac is a 12-year cycle starting with Rat and ending with Pig. Second, give examples. Instead of saying 'many meanings exist', mention that Ox is connected with hard work or Sheep with peace. Third, give limits. Make it clear that these meanings are symbolic ideas, not fixed descriptions of all people born in the same year. The underlined word nuance means a small difference in meaning, feeling or tone. Without nuance, a cultural introduction may become too simple. For instance, saying 'Rabbit people are careful' sounds like a rule, while saying 'Rabbit often symbolizes carefulness' sounds more balanced. The second sentence keeps the cultural meaning but leaves space for real people. For vocational students, this ability is practical. They may introduce local culture to customers, classmates or online partners. If they only translate words, the message may be flat. If they explain structure, examples and limits, the message becomes clearer and more respectful. Good cultural communication is not a one-way performance. It is a bridge built by accurate information and careful listening. 31. What problem is mentioned in Paragraph 1 when the zodiac is introduced in English? A. Listeners may hear only animal names without enough context. B. The animal order changes completely in English. C. Family stories cannot be shared in any language. D. English speakers never ask questions about culture. 32. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about a good introduction? A. It should hide limits to sound more confident. B. It should combine structure, examples and careful limits. C. It should replace examples with long lists of years. D. It should avoid explaining symbolic meanings. 33. What does the underlined word 'nuance' mean in the passage? A. A large mistake in spelling. B. A small difference in meaning or tone. C. A secret order of the animals. D. A fixed rule for everyone. 34. Why is 'Rabbit often symbolizes carefulness' better than 'Rabbit people are careful'? A. It uses fewer English words. B. It turns a symbol into a strict rule. C. It removes the cultural meaning of Rabbit. D. It sounds more balanced and leaves space for real people. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Translating Animal Names Word by Word B. Keeping Nuance in Zodiac Communication C. Why Rabbit Is the Only Careful Sign D. The Fastest Way to Memorize the Cycle 三、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to think that telling a Chinese zodiac story in English meant translating every sentence word for word.
