B School reporter Chen Yu interviewed Mr. Han, a culture teacher who helps students prepare English introductions about traditional Chinese festivals and folk customs. When asked why the Chinese zodiac is still useful for young people, Mr. Han said it gives students a friendly door into culture. A student may not know a long history book, but he or she can usually name the animal sign of family members and begin a conversation from there. Mr. Han reminded students not to introduce the zodiac as a simple test of personality. He said, 'A sign may create a first impression, but real people are richer than one label.' For example, Ox is often connected with hard work, Tiger with bravery and Rabbit with carefulness. These meanings can help speakers organize ideas, yet they should not be used to judge a person quickly. In his class, students first draw a small chart of the 12-year cycle. Then they choose two signs and compare their symbolic meanings. After that, they tell a short story, such as how Rat won first place in a race. Finally, they practise pauses when reading aloud, because pauses make long sentences clearer and give listeners time to understand. Mr. Han believes that telling Chinese stories in English is not about using difficult words. It is about accurate facts, polite explanation and enough respect for different listeners. 'When students can explain a familiar symbol clearly,' he said, 'they become more confident in sharing culture.' 21. Why does Mr. Han call the zodiac a friendly door into culture? A. It replaces all history books. B. It helps students begin with familiar family signs. C. It asks students to remember every legend first. D. It is used only in formal speeches. 22. What does Mr. Han mean by saying real people are richer than one label? A. Every sign has only one correct meaning. B. People should avoid talking about animal signs. C. A label can decide a person's future fully. D. A sign should not be used to judge a person simply. 23. Which classroom step comes before telling a short zodiac story? A. Choosing and comparing two symbolic signs. B. Testing listeners with difficult words. C. Correcting every visitor's personality. D. Reading a long history book aloud. 24. Why does the class practise pauses when reading aloud? A. To make the speech sound faster. B. To hide uncertain facts from listeners. C. To help listeners follow long sentences. D. To shorten every cultural story. 25. Which is the best title for the text? A. A Race Between Rat and Ox B. Using Zodiac Signs to Tell Culture Clearly C. How to Draw Twelve Animals Quickly D. The Most Difficult English Speech C When the culture club prepared for the open day, Lin Tao wanted to draw a large Dragon on the front poster. He thought Dragon was the strongest sign and would easily catch visitors' eyes. His partner Su Min, who was born in the year of Rabbit, suggested adding smaller pictures of other signs. Lin Tao refused at first. 'One powerful picture is enough,' he said. During practice, the teacher asked each student to explain one sign. Su Min spoke about Rabbit carefully. She said Rabbit could remind people to notice details before making decisions. Another classmate introduced Sheep as a sign of peace, while a boy born in the year of Horse talked about purposefulness and moving forward. Lin Tao listened and slowly realized that strength was not the only valuable quality. The next day, Lin Tao changed the poster. In the center he kept the Dragon, but around it he drew Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit and the other animals in a circle. Under each picture, he wrote two English keywords. He also placed a short note at the bottom: 'Different signs show different good qualities. Together they make a richer story.' On the open day, a visitor stopped before the poster and asked why the animals were arranged in a circle. Lin Tao explained the 12-year cycle and then invited Su Min to introduce Rabbit. Their teamwork made the display warmer than a single bright picture. Lin Tao learned that promoting culture means listening to different voices as well as speaking proudly. 26. What was Lin Tao's first idea for the front poster? A. To use one large Dragon picture. B. To draw only Rabbit and Sheep. C. To remove every animal name. D. To write no English keywords. 27. Why did Su Min suggest adding other signs? A. She wanted to hide the Dragon poster. B. She thought visitors disliked strong pictures. C. She hoped the display could show more qualities. D. She needed more time to finish homework. 28. What made Lin Tao change his poster design? A. He heard classmates explain different symbolic meanings. B. He lost the drawing of the Dragon. C. He was told to copy another group's work. D. He found the open day had been canceled. 29. What can we infer from the visitor's question on the open day? A. The visitor already knew every legend. B. The circular arrangement attracted attention. C. The poster failed to show any order. D. The visitor wanted to buy the poster. 30. What does Lin Tao mainly learn from the experience? A. A cultural display should include respect for different voices. B. Only the strongest symbol can tell a good story. C. English keywords are less useful than large pictures. D. Teamwork makes cultural explanation less clear. D The Chinese zodiac is often introduced as a 12-year cycle labelled with animals. However, its value is more than helping people remember years. For many families, asking about a person's animal sign is a gentle way to start a talk about age, memory and family stories. The question sounds lighter than asking directly how old someone is, so it can make a first meeting more comfortable. Symbols work well because they are short, vivid and easy to share. When people say Ox suggests hard work or Dog suggests trustiness, they are not writing a full report about a person. They are using a small cultural picture to open a conversation. The underlined word labelled means marked or named with a sign. In this case, each year is named with an animal, such as Rat, Ox or Tiger. Still, symbols need careful explanation. If a speaker says that every person born in one year must have the same character, listeners may misunderstand the culture. A better speaker uses words such as often, may and can, and explains that symbolic meanings are traditional ideas rather than fixed rules. This careful language protects both culture and people. Today, vocational students may meet customers, partners or online friends from different places. A clear explanation of zodiac signs can show cultural confidence, but respectful communication matters just as much. The best introduction does not force others to believe a symbol. It invites them to compare, ask and share. In this way, the zodiac becomes a bridge between stories, not a wall between people. 31. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To prove people should ask age directly. B. To list all animals in the cycle. C. To compare the zodiac with school subjects. D. To explain why asking animal signs can start a comfortable talk. 32. According to Paragraph 2, why are symbols useful in communication? A. They can replace every long explanation. B. They are vivid cultural pictures that open conversation. C. They make all people have the same character. D. They stop listeners from asking questions. 33. What does the underlined word 'labelled' in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Marked or named with a sign. B. Hidden carefully from others. C. Changed into a different language. D. Counted without any order. 34. Why should a speaker use words such as often, may and can? A. To make the speech sound uncertain about facts. B. To avoid talking with foreign listeners. C. To show symbols are not fixed rules for everyone. D. To make each sentence much longer. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Why Every Sign Has One Meaning B. How to Remember Birth Years Fast C. A Wall Between Different People D. Chinese Zodiac Signs as Cultural Bridges 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。 Last month, our class prepared a Chinese zodiac corner for the school culture week.

When asked why the Chinese zodiac is still useful for young people, Mr. Han said it gives students a friendly door into culture. A student may not know a long history book, but he or she can usually name the animal sign of family members and begin a conversation from there. Mr. Han reminded students not to introduce the zodiac as a simple test of personality. He said, 'A sign may create a first impression, but real people are richer than one label.'

He thought Dragon was the strongest sign and would easily catch visitors' eyes. His partner Su Min, who was born in the year of Rabbit, suggested adding smaller pictures of other signs. Lin Tao refused at first. 'One powerful picture is enough,' he said. During practice, the teacher asked each student to explain one sign. Su Min spoke about Rabbit carefully. She said Rabbit could remind people to notice details before making decisions. Another classmate introduced Sheep as a sign of peace, while a boy born in the year of Horse talked about purposefulness and moving forward. Lin Tao listened and slowly realized that strength was not the only valuable quality. The next day, Lin Tao changed the poster. In the center he kept the Dragon, but around it he drew Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit and the other animals in a circle. Under each picture, he wrote two English keywords. He also placed a short note at the bottom: 'Different signs show different good qualities. Together they make a richer story.' On the open day, a visitor stopped before the poster and asked why the animals were arranged in a circle. Lin Tao explained the 12-year cycle and then invited Su Min to introduce Rabbit. Their teamwork made the display warmer than a single bright picture. Lin Tao learned that promoting culture means listening to different voices as well as speaking proudly. 26. What was Lin Tao's first idea for the front poster? A. To use one large Dragon picture. B. To draw only Rabbit and Sheep. C. To remove every animal name. D. To write no English keywords. 27. Why did Su Min suggest adding other signs? A. She wanted to hide the Dragon poster. B. She thought visitors disliked strong pictures. C. She hoped the display could show more qualities. D. She needed more time to finish homework. 28. What made Lin Tao change his poster design? A. He heard classmates explain different symbolic meanings. B. He lost the drawing of the Dragon. C. He was told to copy another group's work. D. He found the open day had been canceled. 29. What can we infer from the visitor's question on the open day? A. The visitor already knew every legend. B. The circular arrangement attracted attention. C. The poster failed to show any order. D. The visitor wanted to buy the poster. 30. What does Lin Tao mainly learn from the experience? A. A cultural display should include respect for different voices. B. Only the strongest symbol can tell a good story. C. English keywords are less useful than large pictures. D. Teamwork makes cultural explanation less clear. 【答案】26.A 27.C 28.A 29.B 30.A 【导语】本文是一篇人文叙事类记叙文，讲述林涛在开放日生肖海报设计中从只突出龙的力量，到理解不同生肖象征不同品质的过程。故事强调文化展示既要自信表达，也要倾听和尊重多样声音。 【详解】26. 细节理解题。第一段说明林涛想在海报正面画一条很大的龙。 27. 推理判断题。苏敏建议加入其他生肖，后文展示 Rabbit、Sheep、Horse 等不同品质，可知她希望内容更丰富。 28. 因果推理题。第二段中同学们解释不同象征意义后，林涛意识到力量并非唯一价值。 29. 推理判断题。访客询问圆形排列原因，说明这种设计引起了注意。 30. 主旨理解题。结尾指出推广文化既要自豪表达，也要倾听不同声音，A项准确。 D The Chinese zodiac is often introduced as a 12-year cycle labelled with animals. However, its value is more than helping people remember years. For many families, asking about a person's animal sign is a gentle way to start a talk about age, memory and family stories. The question sounds lighter than asking directly how old someone is, so it can make a first meeting more comfortable. Symbols work well because they are short, vivid and easy to share. When people say Ox suggests hard work or Dog suggests trustiness, they are not writing a full report about a person. They are using a small cultural picture to open a conversation. The underlined word labelled means marked or named with a sign. In this case, each year is named with an animal, such as Rat, Ox or Tiger. Still, symbols need careful explanation. If a speaker says that every person born in one year must have the same character, listeners may misunderstand the culture. A better speaker uses words such as often, may and can, and explains that symbolic meanings are traditional ideas rather than fixed rules. This careful language protects both culture and people. Today, vocational students may meet customers, partners or online friends from different places. A clear explanation of zodiac signs can show cultural confidence, but respectful communication matters just as much. The best introduction does not force others to believe a symbol. It invites them to compare, ask and share. In this way, the zodiac becomes a bridge between stories, not a wall between people. 31. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To prove people should ask age directly. B. To list all animals in the cycle. C. To compare the zodiac with school subjects. D. To explain why asking animal signs can start a comfortable talk. 32. According to Paragraph 2, why are symbols useful in communication? A. They can replace every long explanation. B. They are vivid cultural pictures that open conversation. C. They make all people have the same character. D. They stop listeners from asking questions. 33. What does the underlined word 'labelled' in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Marked or named with a sign. B. Hidden carefully from others. C. Changed into a different language. D. Counted without any order. 34. Why should a speaker use words such as often, may and can? A. To make the speech sound uncertain about facts. B. To avoid talking with foreign listeners. C. To show symbols are not fixed rules for everyone. D. To make each sentence much longer. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Why Every Sign Has One Meaning B. How to Remember Birth Years Fast C. A Wall Between Different People D. Chinese Zodiac Signs as Cultural Bridges 【答案】31.D 32.B 33.A 34.C 35.D 【导语】本文是一篇社科科普说理文，说明中国生肖不仅用于纪年，也能作为轻松开启交流的文化符号。文章强调象征意义要谨慎表达，不能把生肖当作固定规则，并指出清晰、尊重的介绍能让生肖成为文化沟通的桥梁。 【详解】31. 段落作用题。第一段通过比较直接问年龄和询问属相，说明后者能让初次交流更轻松。 32. 细节理解题。第二段指出符号短小、生动、易分享，是开启谈话的小文化图像。 33. 词义猜测题。后文说明每一年用 Rat、Ox、Tiger 等动物命名，因此 labelled 指“被标记或命名”。 34. 推理判断题。第三段说明 often、may、can 能避免把象征意义说成固定规则。 35. 主旨标题题。全文围绕生肖如何成为尊重交流的桥梁展开，D项最准确。 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。 Last month, our class prepared a Chinese zodiac corner for the school culture week.

In Chinese culture, the Ox is often a symbol of hard work and patience. It reminds people of farmers who work carefully in the fields and workers who do their jobs step by step. I like the Ox because its meaning is useful in my study and life. When I meet a difficult task, I tell myself to be steady and never give up easily. Success does not always come quickly, but patient practice can make a real difference. The Chinese zodiac is not only a way to remember years. It also carries interesting stories and good qualities. If we explain it clearly in English, more people can understand Chinese traditional culture. 【词汇积累】Chinese zodiac sign 中国生肖；symbol 象征；hard work 勤奋；patience 耐心；step by step 逐步地；give up 放弃；make a difference 产生影响；traditional culture 传统文化。 【句式拓展】1. The Ox is often a symbol of hard work and patience. 可替换为：The Ox often stands for hard work and patience. 2. If we explain it clearly in English, more people can understand Chinese traditional culture. 可替换为：Clear English explanations can help more people understand Chinese traditional culture. 【点睛】范文先点明最想介绍的生肖，再说明象征意义和个人喜爱原因，最后升华到用英语讲好中国传统文化。结构清晰，语言难度适合中职学生仿写。 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 $
