Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was 6 to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being 7 just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a (an) 8 for nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I was 9 . I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault, 10 .

I 12 that “ahorita” has many definitions (释义), we should 13 the culture. When someone from Mexico says “ahorita,” it should almost never be taken 14 ; its meaning changes greatly with 15 . As a linguist (语言学家) told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when 16 an offer. Difficulty in explaining what I have come to call “Ahorita Time” is a 17 of different cultural understandings of time. Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed.

3D digital map of Derry’s historic walled city. Dating back to the early 1600s, the Walls of Derry are Northern Ireland’s largest historic landmark and Derry was the last walled city to be built in Europe. The Walls of Derry are famous for never being broken into, making the city the only completely intact (完好无损的) walled city in the island of Ireland. In 2022 Derry’s Walls were among Northern Ireland’s most visited attractions, with 577,000 taking the mile-long walkway around the inner city. The online project is led by the University of Bradford, working alongside several Irish universities and local authorities. Professor Andrew Wilson, from the University of Bradford, who leads the project, said the map had been created with the “latest technologies” in terms of 3D imagery. “All of the data we have produced and shared has the ability to offer a fully immersive (沉浸式的) experience.” he said. His team used vehicle-mounted laser scanning systems, drones (无人机) and mobile mapping, to “capture these walled towns in great detail”. The map allows people to zone in on some of Derry’s best-known landmarks including the Guildhall and St Columb’s Cathedral and learn more about the city’s history, including its connections to the shirt-making industry. But he said the work goes far beyond a technological achievement. “It’s about connecting communities and preserving heritage in a way that’s accessible to everyone,” he said. “By creating a detailed digital copy of Derry, we’re safeguarding centuries of history while opening up new opportunities for education, tourism and regeneration.” The Mayor of Derry City, Ruairi McHugh, said the map marked “an exciting new chapter in how we preserve, celebrate and share our wonderful heritage”. “This groundbreaking 3D digital modelling project represents a combination of our proud past with advanced technology, allowing people from across the world to experience the beauty and historical significance of our walled city,” he said. 21．What is the main focus of the online project? A．Repairing the virtual Walls of Derry. B．Actively promoting tourism in Derry. C．Digitally preserving Derry’s walled city. D．Providing online courses about Derry’s history. 22．Which of the following best describes the Walls of Derry? A．They are the oldest walls in Europe. B．They are rebuilt as a popular tourist spot. C．They are around the largest city in Ireland. D．They are well protected throughout history. 23．What did Andrew Wilson say about the map? A．It can provide a new travel experience. B．It is based on old historical records. C．It is created with simple technologies. D．It focuses on the city’s shirt-making history. 24．What is Ruairi McHugh’s attitude toward the 3D digital map project? A．Doubtful and cautious. B．Proud and optimistic. C．Neutral and objective. D．Critical and disappointed. 25．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Detailed Map for Derry B．How to Visit the Walls of Derry C．Ancient Architecture in Northern Ireland D．Exploring Derry’s Walls in a Digital World 【答案】21．C 22．D 23．A 24．B 25．D 【导语】文章主要介绍了研究人员利用最先进的扫描技术，为北爱尔兰历史悠久的德里城墙城市制作了高精度3D数字地图，文章介绍了该项目的实施背景、核心内容、存在意义以及相关人士对项目的评价。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“By creating a detailed digital copy of Derry, we’re safeguarding centuries of history while opening up new opportunities for education, tourism and regeneration. (通过创建德里的详细数字副本，我们在保护数百年历史的同时，也为教育、旅游和城市复兴创造了新机遇。)”可知，该项目的核心是数字化保存德里的城墙城市。 22．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The Walls of Derry are famous for never being broken into, making the city the only completely intact (完好无损的) walled city in the island of Ireland. (德里城墙以从未被攻破闻名，这让它成为爱尔兰岛唯一一座完好无损的城墙城市。)”可知，德里城墙在历史中一直被完好保护。 23．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“All of the data we have produced and shared has the ability to offer a fully immersive (沉浸式的) experience. (我们生成并共享的所有数据能够提供完全沉浸式的体验。)”，结合第五段中的“opening up new opportunities for education, tourism and regeneration   (为教育、旅游和复兴创造新机遇)”可知，该地图可以提供全新的旅行体验。 24．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The Mayor of Derry City, Ruairi McHugh, said the map marked “an exciting new chapter in how we preserve, celebrate and share our wonderful heritage”. “This groundbreaking 3D digital modelling project represents a combination of our proud past with advanced technology, allowing people from across the world to experience the beauty and historical significance of our walled city,” he said. (德里市市长鲁艾里·麦克休表示，该地图“标志着我们保护、庆祝和分享宝贵文化遗产的一个令人振奋的新篇章”。他说：“这一开创性的3D数字建模项目将我们引以为傲的过去与先进技术相结合，使来自世界各地的人们能够体验到我们这座城墙城市的美丽及其历史意义。”)”可知，Ruairi McHugh对该项目既感到骄傲，又对其价值与前景持乐观态度。 25．主旨大意题。全文围绕研究人员为德里古城墙制作3D数字地图展开，核心是让人们可以在数字世界探索这座历史古城，根据文章第一段“Researchers using state-of-the-art scanning technology have produced a highly detailed 3D digital map of Derry’s historic walled city. (研究人员使用最先进的扫描技术，为德里历史悠久的城墙城市制作了一幅高度精细的3D数字地图。)”可知，D选项“在数字世界中探索德里城墙”符合核心主旨。 B Building a Harmonious Multicultural City Modern cities are melting pots of different cultures. People from various countries, religions, and backgrounds live side by side. Cultural integration is the process by which newcomers adopt aspects of the host culture while also contributing their own traditions. Successful integration requires effort from both sides. Long-time residents must be tolerant and open-minded, while newcomers need to learn the local language and customs. When integration works, a city becomes richer and more interesting. Protecting local culture is equally important. Traditional customs such as festivals, crafts, and food can be lost when cities modernize too quickly. Governments can support local artists, preserve historic buildings, and teach traditional skills in schools. At the same time, exposure to foreign culture through travel, media, and immigration broadens perspectives. Trying new foods, celebrating different holidays, and learning about other histories reduce prejudice and stereotypes. Cultural diversity is a strength, not a weakness. Teams of people from different backgrounds are often more creative because they bring different viewpoints. Cultural exchange programs, such as student exchanges or international festivals, build bridges between communities. These programs allow people to experience foreign culture without leaving their city. To live harmoniously in a diverse city, certain qualities are necessary. A tolerant person does not judge others by their appearance or beliefs. A responsible citizen follows laws, pays taxes, and helps neighbors. A law-abiding person respects rules even when no one is watching. All residents must adapt to new social norms while maintaining their own identity. This balance is not easy, but it is essential for peace. In the end, a successful city is not measured by its tallest building, but by how well its residents treat each other. 26．What does cultural integration require from both sides? A．Newcomers to give up their own culture completely. B．Long-time residents to be tolerant and newcomers to learn local customs. C．Only newcomers to change. D．Only long-time residents to change. 27．How can governments protect local culture? A．By supporting local artists and preserving historic buildings. B．By banning foreign films. C．By stopping all modernization. D．By ignoring traditional customs. 28．Why is cultural diversity considered a strength? A．Because everyone is the same. B．Because diverse teams bring different viewpoints and are more creative. C．Because it causes more conflict. D．Because it reduces tourism. 29．What is a quality of a tolerant person? A．Judging others by appearance. B．Not judging others by their beliefs or appearance. C．Refusing to speak to foreigners. D．Only caring about themselves. 30．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Building a harmonious multicultural city requires integration, tolerance, and respect. B．All cultures should stay separate. C．Foreign culture is better than local culture. D．Traditional customs should be abandoned. 【答案】26．B 27．A 28．B 29．B 30．A 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了多元城市需推进文化融合、守护本土文化。文化多样性利于创新，居民包容守规、平衡自身文化与新规，方能共建和谐都市。 【详解】26．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Long-time residents must be tolerant and open-minded, while newcomers need to learn the local language and customs.(长期居民必须宽容和思想开放，而新来者需要学习当地的语言和习俗。)”可知，文化融合需要双方共同努力。 27．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Governments can support local artists, preserve historic buildings, and teach traditional skills in schools.(政府可以支持当地艺术家，保护历史建筑，并在学校教授传统技能。)”可知，政府可以通过支持当地艺术家和保护历史建筑来保护本土文化。 28．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Teams of people from different backgrounds are often more creative because they bring different viewpoints.(来自不同背景的人组成的团队通常更具创造力，因为他们带来了不同的观点。)”可知，文化多样性之所以被视为一种优势，是因为它能带来不同的视角并激发创造力。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段中“A tolerant person does not judge others by their appearance or beliefs.( 一个宽容的人不会根据别人的外表或信仰来评判他们。)”可知，不以貌取人或不以信仰评判他人是宽容之人的品质。 30．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕“建设和谐的多元文化城市”展开，分别论述了文化融合需要双方努力、保护本土文化与接触外来文化同等重要、文化多样性是优势，以及居民需要具备宽容、守法和尊重等品质。选项A“建设一个和谐的多元文化城市需要融合、宽容和尊重”最能准确概括文章主旨。 C The UNESCO (联合国教科文组织)has recognized the Chinese art of paper cutting on its Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名单). But paper cutting is at the risk of disappearing. Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant (移民), who loves paper cutting, worked hard to celebrate the ancient art form. With a strong interest in paper cutting, Ms. Woo held a paper cutting exhibition at a shopping center near Washington. “I really love it. I get so much fun by doing it. I am just kind of hoping that more people will learn about this art which is about to disappear. I think it’s time to take action. So I held it.” Voyo Woo began to study paper cutting when she was a 14-year-old girl in southeastern China. Voyo Woo’s teacher gave her extra training after class because Voyo Woo discovered a special love for it. Later, her beautiful paper cuttings won second prize in a national painting competition. “Paper is the easiest material that you can find. You can just turn it into beautiful art. I think it is like magic to me.” Ms. Woo came to the USA after she finished college in 2008. She has been invited to show the art at a wide collection of events. She also has shown her skill and works at famous museums like the Smithsonian Institution’s Freer and Sackler art museum in Washington. “I saw so many people coming to me and asking me. They were amazed. I think it is important to introduce the art form to American people or anyone who is interested.” Ms. Woo placed examples of her art around her as she displayed paper cutting at the shopping center. Ann Russ, a shopper, was attracted by the fine nature of the work. She said it put her at case. “I appreciate Chinese art because I find it very beautiful. It is almost relaxing to put that much effort into it. It is amazing that Chinese art can be favored by people from other cultural backgrounds,” Ms. Russ said. 31．What is a challenge faced by paper cutting as mentioned in the passage?

Today the bride (新娘) carries flowers but long ago she carried strong-smelling grass. This was to frighten away the evil spirits and to cover the smell of people who do not wash often. People also used to believe that the bride brought good luck, so they would try to get something from her. Today, the bride will offer the guests some good luck by throwing the flowers to them after the wedding. It is said that if you catch the flowers, you will be the next one to get married. Of course, many of the single girls at a wedding try to catch the flowers. In early times, the bridesmaids (伴娘) and the bride all wore similar dresses. This was to confuse the evil spirits. Now bridesmaids still wear similar dresses but the bride wears a different dress that is often white. Many brides wear veils (面纱) over their faces. This comes from a time when the young couple was not allowed to see each other before the wedding. The families were afraid that the bridegroom might not like the bride. So he was only allowed to lift her veil just before the wedding. By this time it was too late to refuse to marry her. Brides often wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”. In earlier times, if the bride didn’t do this, she felt she would be in danger from the evil spirits. Wearing “something old” represents the journey between being single and being married. “Something new” represents the change from being a child to being an adult. “Something borrowed” means if you borrow something from a happily married couple, it will bring you good luck. And “something blue” comes from a time when the edge of the bride’s dress was blue which represented purity. 36．The passage mainly tells us ________. A．today’s wedding customs B．the history of wedding customs C．why brides wear veils D．what brides wear at weddings 37．Why did the bride carry strong-smelling grass in the past? A．To keep the evil spirits and unpleasant smell of some people away. B．To cover the unpleasant smell of her and keep the evil spirits away. C．To bring good luck to the bridesmaids.

Jasmine Cho, 35, does. A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies. It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”. Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said. Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?” One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s. “It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout (核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.” Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor. Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively. “Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.” 41．What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture?(No more than 10 words) 42．What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? (No more than 3 words) 43．Why does Cho think cookies are a useful tool to promote Asian-American culture? (No more than 10 words) 44．What is the author’s dream about her cookies art? (No more than 10 words) 45．How are you inspired by the story? Put it in your own words. (No more than 25words) 【答案】41．An/One elective course she took at college. 42．Express/Convey/Communicate. 43．Because she thinks cookies are liked by many people. Or: Because she thinks everyone likes cookies. Because she thinks nobody dislikes cookies. 44．To inspire people to be creative and think positively. 45．I will look inward to discover my passion or love and make full use of what I have to make a better world. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jasmine Cho用烘焙技术制作饼干，设计饼干肖像，促进亚裔美国文化。 【详解】41．考查细节理解。根据第四段“An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her.(大学里的一门课程——讲述亚裔美国移民经历的课程——让她经历了一次情感上的触动)”可知，在大学选修的一门课程促使Cho对亚裔美国人文化产生了兴趣。故答案为An/One elective course she took at college. 42．考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“So many emotions came up”以及后文““It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said. (“那种情绪就像混合着愤怒、解脱、力量感和悲伤……”Cho说道。)”可知，情绪太多无法用言语来表达/传达/交流。故划线词意思是“用言语来表达/传达/交流”。故答案为Express/Convey/Communicate. 43．考查细节理解。根据第五段““Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?”(Cho说，“饼干实在是太有吸引力了。谁不喜欢饼干呢？”)”可知，Cho认为饼干是推广亚裔美国人文化的有效手段是因为她认为很多人喜欢饼干。或者：因为她认为每个人都喜欢饼干。因为她认为没有人不喜欢饼干。故答案为Because she thinks cookies are liked by many people. Or: Because she thinks everyone likes cookies. Because she thinks nobody dislikes cookies. 44．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively.(Cho希望她的饼干艺术能够继续激励人们发挥创造力，保持积极的心态)”可知，作者希望她的饼干艺术作品可以激发人们发挥创造力并保持积极的心态。故答案为To inspire people to be creative and think positively. 45．考查开放题。根据“你从这个故事中获得了怎样的启发？请用你自己的话来表达。”可回答：我会从内心探寻自己的热情或热爱，并充分利用我所拥有的去创造一个更美好的世界。故答案为I will look inward to discover my passion or love and make full use of what I have to make a better world. B Over 100 expats (侨民) from 40 countries gathered in Beijing’s Chaoyang District to explore traditional Chinese culture through the practice of tai chi, also known as taijiquan. Wang Shiting, Secretary of the Party Committee at China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU), noted that tai chi, a form of intangible cultural heritage, has become a cultural bridge that connects people from different countries. “We are delighted to see tai chi lovers worldwide enthusiastically practicing in communities, parks, sporting venues and other places, with tai chi gaining increasing admiration from people across the globe,” Wang added. Her remarks were delivered at the Taijiquan Salon for Diplomats in China.

Zhang Yuping, Director of the Wushu Sports Management Center, expressed hopes for collaboration with countries around the world to advance wushu culture and realize the vision of “building friendship through martial arts and achieving shared harmony,” declaring that tai chi may appear simple but is actually highly challenging and requires profound inner focus and discipline. She also expressed her hope that such events encourage friendly cooperation and help to deepen mutual understanding. During the event, participants moved outdoors to practice tai chi together. Many said they had learned a lot from the experience. 46．Why did more than 100 expats gather in Beijing’s Chaoyang District? (No more than 10 words) 47．What kind of cultural heritage is tai chi? (No more than 8 words) 48．What does the underlined word “collaboration” mean? (One word) 49．What is tai chi like in essence though it looks simple? (No more than 10 words) 50．What are the benefits of holding such tai chi events? (No more than 10 words) 【答案】46．To explore traditional Chinese culture via tai chi. 47．A form of intangible cultural heritage. 48．Cooperation. 49．Highly challenging with focus and discipline. 50．Deepen understanding and boost cooperation. 【导语】百余名外籍人士在北京参加太极拳沙龙。相关负责人表示，太极拳是文化桥梁，能增进国际友好与彼此理解。 【详解】46．细节理解题。根据第一段“Over 100 expats (侨民) from 40 countries gathered in Beijing’s Chaoyang District to explore traditional Chinese culture through the practice of tai chi, also known as taijiquan.(来自40个国家的100多名侨民齐聚北京朝阳区，通过练习太极拳感受中国传统文化。)”可知，他们聚集于此是为了通过太极拳探索中国传统文化。 47．细节理解题。根据第二段“Wang Shiting, Secretary of the Party Committee at China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU), noted that tai chi, a form of intangible cultural heritage, has become a cultural bridge that connects people from different countries.(外交学院党委书记王士婷表示，太极拳作为非物质文化遗产，已然成为联结各国人民的文化桥梁。)”可知，太极拳属于非物质文化遗产。 48．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Zhang Yuping, Director of the Wushu Sports Management Center, expressed hopes for collaboration with countries around the world to advance wushu culture and realize the vision of “building friendship through martial arts and achieving shared harmony,” declaring that tai chi may appear simple but is actually highly challenging and requires profound inner focus and discipline. (国家体育总局武术运动管理中心主任张玉萍表示，希望同世界各国开展合作，弘扬武术文化，实现“以武会友、和合共生”的愿景。她指出，太极拳看似简单，实则极具难度，需要内心高度专注与自律。)”以及后文“encourage friendly cooperation(鼓励友好合作)”可推断，collaboration含义为“合作”，与cooperation同义。 49．细节理解题。根据第四段“...tai chi may appear simple but is actually highly challenging and requires profound inner focus and discipline.(……太极拳看似简单，实则难度极高，需要深厚的内心专注力与自律心性。)”可知，太极拳本质难度高，需要专注与自律。 50．细节理解题。根据第四段“She also expressed her hope that such events encourage friendly cooperation and help to deepen mutual understanding.(她同时希望这类活动能够促进友好交流合作，加深彼此理解。)”可知，举办活动可以深化理解并促进合作。 4 / 18 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 语篇组合练（中华传统文化与文明交流） （考试时间：70分钟 试卷满分：100分） 一、完形填空 When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well.

Dating back to the early 1600s, the Walls of Derry are Northern Ireland’s largest historic landmark and Derry was the last walled city to be built in Europe. The Walls of Derry are famous for never being broken into, making the city the only completely intact (完好无损的) walled city in the island of Ireland. In 2022 Derry’s Walls were among Northern Ireland’s most visited attractions, with 577,000 taking the mile-long walkway around the inner city. The online project is led by the University of Bradford, working alongside several Irish universities and local authorities. Professor Andrew Wilson, from the University of Bradford, who leads the project, said the map had been created with the “latest technologies” in terms of 3D imagery. “All of the data we have produced and shared has the ability to offer a fully immersive (沉浸式的) experience.” he said. His team used vehicle-mounted laser scanning systems, drones (无人机) and mobile mapping, to “capture these walled towns in great detail”. The map allows people to zone in on some of Derry’s best-known landmarks including the Guildhall and St Columb’s Cathedral and learn more about the city’s history, including its connections to the shirt-making industry. But he said the work goes far beyond a technological achievement. “It’s about connecting communities and preserving heritage in a way that’s accessible to everyone,” he said. “By creating a detailed digital copy of Derry, we’re safeguarding centuries of history while opening up new opportunities for education, tourism and regeneration.” The Mayor of Derry City, Ruairi McHugh, said the map marked “an exciting new chapter in how we preserve, celebrate and share our wonderful heritage”. “This groundbreaking 3D digital modelling project represents a combination of our proud past with advanced technology, allowing people from across the world to experience the beauty and historical significance of our walled city,” he said. 21．What is the main focus of the online project? A．Repairing the virtual Walls of Derry. B．Actively promoting tourism in Derry. C．Digitally preserving Derry’s walled city. D．Providing online courses about Derry’s history. 22．Which of the following best describes the Walls of Derry? A．They are the oldest walls in Europe. B．They are rebuilt as a popular tourist spot. C．They are around the largest city in Ireland. D．They are well protected throughout history. 23．What did Andrew Wilson say about the map? A．It can provide a new travel experience. B．It is based on old historical records. C．It is created with simple technologies. D．It focuses on the city’s shirt-making history. 24．What is Ruairi McHugh’s attitude toward the 3D digital map project? A．Doubtful and cautious. B．Proud and optimistic. C．Neutral and objective. D．Critical and disappointed. 25．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Detailed Map for Derry B．How to Visit the Walls of Derry C．Ancient Architecture in Northern Ireland D．Exploring Derry’s Walls in a Digital World B Building a Harmonious Multicultural City Modern cities are melting pots of different cultures. People from various countries, religions, and backgrounds live side by side. Cultural integration is the process by which newcomers adopt aspects of the host culture while also contributing their own traditions. Successful integration requires effort from both sides. Long-time residents must be tolerant and open-minded, while newcomers need to learn the local language and customs. When integration works, a city becomes richer and more interesting. Protecting local culture is equally important. Traditional customs such as festivals, crafts, and food can be lost when cities modernize too quickly. Governments can support local artists, preserve historic buildings, and teach traditional skills in schools. At the same time, exposure to foreign culture through travel, media, and immigration broadens perspectives. Trying new foods, celebrating different holidays, and learning about other histories reduce prejudice and stereotypes. Cultural diversity is a strength, not a weakness. Teams of people from different backgrounds are often more creative because they bring different viewpoints. Cultural exchange programs, such as student exchanges or international festivals, build bridges between communities. These programs allow people to experience foreign culture without leaving their city. To live harmoniously in a diverse city, certain qualities are necessary. A tolerant person does not judge others by their appearance or beliefs. A responsible citizen follows laws, pays taxes, and helps neighbors. A law-abiding person respects rules even when no one is watching. All residents must adapt to new social norms while maintaining their own identity. This balance is not easy, but it is essential for peace. In the end, a successful city is not measured by its tallest building, but by how well its residents treat each other. 26．What does cultural integration require from both sides? A．Newcomers to give up their own culture completely. B．Long-time residents to be tolerant and newcomers to learn local customs. C．Only newcomers to change. D．Only long-time residents to change. 27．How can governments protect local culture? A．By supporting local artists and preserving historic buildings. B．By banning foreign films. C．By stopping all modernization. D．By ignoring traditional customs. 28．Why is cultural diversity considered a strength? A．Because everyone is the same. B．Because diverse teams bring different viewpoints and are more creative. C．Because it causes more conflict. D．Because it reduces tourism. 29．What is a quality of a tolerant person? A．Judging others by appearance. B．Not judging others by their beliefs or appearance. C．Refusing to speak to foreigners. D．Only caring about themselves. 30．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Building a harmonious multicultural city requires integration, tolerance, and respect. B．All cultures should stay separate. C．Foreign culture is better than local culture. D．Traditional customs should be abandoned. C The UNESCO (联合国教科文组织)has recognized the Chinese art of paper cutting on its Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名单). But paper cutting is at the risk of disappearing. Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant (移民), who loves paper cutting, worked hard to celebrate the ancient art form. With a strong interest in paper cutting, Ms. Woo held a paper cutting exhibition at a shopping center near Washington. “I really love it. I get so much fun by doing it. I am just kind of hoping that more people will learn about this art which is about to disappear. I think it’s time to take action. So I held it.” Voyo Woo began to study paper cutting when she was a 14-year-old girl in southeastern China. Voyo Woo’s teacher gave her extra training after class because Voyo Woo discovered a special love for it. Later, her beautiful paper cuttings won second prize in a national painting competition. “Paper is the easiest material that you can find. You can just turn it into beautiful art. I think it is like magic to me.” Ms. Woo came to the USA after she finished college in 2008. She has been invited to show the art at a wide collection of events. She also has shown her skill and works at famous museums like the Smithsonian Institution’s Freer and Sackler art museum in Washington. “I saw so many people coming to me and asking me. They were amazed. I think it is important to introduce the art form to American people or anyone who is interested.” Ms. Woo placed examples of her art around her as she displayed paper cutting at the shopping center. Ann Russ, a shopper, was attracted by the fine nature of the work. She said it put her at case. “I appreciate Chinese art because I find it very beautiful. It is almost relaxing to put that much effort into it. It is amazing that Chinese art can be favored by people from other cultural backgrounds,” Ms. Russ said. 31．What is a challenge faced by paper cutting as mentioned in the passage? A．The popularity of interest in paper cutting in today’s art. B．The risk of paper cutting disappearing in the future. C．The high costs for paper cutting exhibitions. D．The difficulty in learning paper cutting. 32．Why did Voyo Woo exhibit her paper cutting work in the USA? A．To win national painting competitions. B．To describe her new hobby to the public. C．To introduce and preserve the art of paper cutting. D．To celebrate her personal achievement in paper cutting. 33．What can we learn from Voyo Woo’s early experience with paper cutting? A．She learned paper cutting after coming to the USA． B．She was trained by a professional artist in Washington. C．She began to study paper cutting in southeastern China. D．She disliked paper cutting at first but later developed a passion for it. 34．How did Voyo Woo manage to develop her paper cutting skills? A．By traveling to various countries. B．By attending art classes in college. C．By taking part in various art competitions. D．By practicing and receiving extra training. 35．What can we know from Ann Russ’s statement about Chinese art? A．She is disinterested in Chinese art. B．She thinks it’s valued within Chinese culture. C．She appreciates its beauty and finds it calming. D．She is not sure of the appeal to diverse cultures. D Most of us don’t know the reasons anymore but people today follow them because they are good fun. Today the bride (新娘) carries flowers but long ago she carried strong-smelling grass. This was to frighten away the evil spirits and to cover the smell of people who do not wash often. People also used to believe that the bride brought good luck, so they would try to get something from her. Today, the bride will offer the guests some good luck by throwing the flowers to them after the wedding. It is said that if you catch the flowers, you will be the next one to get married. Of course, many of the single girls at a wedding try to catch the flowers. In early times, the bridesmaids (伴娘) and the bride all wore similar dresses. This was to confuse the evil spirits. Now bridesmaids still wear similar dresses but the bride wears a different dress that is often white. Many brides wear veils (面纱) over their faces. This comes from a time when the young couple was not allowed to see each other before the wedding. The families were afraid that the bridegroom might not like the bride. So he was only allowed to lift her veil just before the wedding. By this time it was too late to refuse to marry her. Brides often wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”. In earlier times, if the bride didn’t do this, she felt she would be in danger from the evil spirits. Wearing “something old” represents the journey between being single and being married. “Something new” represents the change from being a child to being an adult. “Something borrowed” means if you borrow something from a happily married couple, it will bring you good luck. And “something blue” comes from a time when the edge of the bride’s dress was blue which represented purity. 36．The passage mainly tells us ________. A．today’s wedding customs B．the history of wedding customs C．why brides wear veils D．what brides wear at weddings 37．Why did the bride carry strong-smelling grass in the past? A．To keep the evil spirits and unpleasant smell of some people away. B．To cover the unpleasant smell of her and keep the evil spirits away. C．To bring good luck to the bridesmaids. D．To throw it exactly to the bridesmaids. 38．What do we know about the wedding customs in the past from the third paragraph? A．The bridesmaids wore completely different dresses from the brides. B．The bridesmaids also needed to wear veils over their faces. C．The groom could refuse to marry his bride if he didn’t like her. D．The groom and the bride didn’t see each other until the wedding 39．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．In order to avoid evil spirits, the bride had to wear her veil. B．In wedding customs, blue is the symbol of purity. C．Single girls are very happy to catch the bride’s flowers. D．The bride and her bridesmaids dressed similarly. 40．All of the following are mentioned in this passage EXCEPT________. A．brides’ flowers B．brides’ clothes C．grooms’ clothes D．brides’ veils 三、阅读表达 A Do you think cookies can tell stories? Jasmine Cho, 35, does.
