When 14-year-old Zhang Li from Chengdu felt stressed about her upcoming exams, she didn’t turn to her phone or video games. Instead, she picked up her knitting needles (编织针) and a ball of soft, blue wool.
“I’m making a scarf for my mom,” Zhang Li explained, her fingers moving quickly. “The repeated movements are very calming. When I focus on each stitch (针脚), I forget about my worries for a while.”
Zhang Li is one of a growing number of Chinese teenagers who are discovering the benefits of traditional crafts like knitting, embroidery (刺绣), and paper-cutting. These activities, once seen as old-fashioned, are becoming popular ways to reduce stress and improve mental well-being.
Experts say there are good reasons for this trend. “Crafts require focus and patience,” says Dr. Wang, a child psychologist. “This kind of focus is similar to meditation. It helps calm the mind and reduce anxiety. Also, the feeling of creating something with your own hands brings a sense of achievement.”
Many schools have noticed this positive effect. The Sunshine Middle School in Shanghai started a “Mindful Crafts” club last term. “We have over 60 students now, both boys and girls,” said the club’s teacher, Ms. Zhao. “They come to relax, share their work and support each other. It’s not just about the final product, but the peaceful process.”
For Zhang Li, finishing the scarf for her mom was a proud moment. “Seeing her wear something I made with my own hands makes me really happy,” she smiled. “It’s a much better feeling than getting a high score on a game.”
16. Why did Zhang Li start knitting according to the passage?
A. To make money for her family. B. To reduce her stress about school exams.
C. To prepare a gift for her mother’s birthday. D. To learn a new skill from her grandmother.
17. What does the underlined word “meditation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. A quiet activity that helps you relax and clear your thoughts
B. A fast-paced sport that improves physical strength
C. A type of loud music that energizes people
D. A game that requires quick thinking and competition
18. What do experts say about doing crafts like knitting?
A. It helps calm the mind similar to meditation. B. It is mainly useful for creating beautiful things.
C. It is a modern way to communicate with friends. D. It is a waste of time that could be used for studying.
19. Which of the following is TRUE about the “Mindful Crafts” club?
A. It was started by Dr. Wang, a child psychologist. B. It only accepts girls who are interested in knitting.
C. Students join it to relax and share their craft works. D. It pays more attention to the final products than the process.
20. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Most boys are not interested in traditional crafts.
B. Taking up traditional crafts helps improve students’ grades.
C. Traditional crafts are becoming more popular than video games in China.
D. Doing crafts brings a greater sense of happiness than playing games for Zhang Li.
【答案】16. B 17. A 18. A 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了很多青少年通过手工编织进行减压放松这种流行趋势,专家分析了其中的积极原因及一些学校也通过开设手工社团帮助学生缓解压力。
【16题详解】
根据第一段“When 14-year-old Zhang Li from Chengdu felt stressed about her upcoming exams... Instead, she picked up her knitting needles...”可知,她开始编织是为了缓解考试带来的压力。
【17题详解】
根据“It helps calm the mind and reduce anxiety.”可知,这种专注能帮助平静大脑、减少焦虑,因此meditation 指的是一种帮助放松和理清思绪的安静活动。选项A“A quiet activity that helps you relax and clear your thoughts”符合题意。
【18题详解】
根据“This kind of focus is similar to meditation. It helps calm the mind and reduce anxiety”可知,专家认为做手工有助于像冥想一样平静心灵,减少焦虑。

根据最后一段“It’s a much better feeling than getting a high score on a game”可知,对她而言,做手工带来的幸福感比玩游戏得分更高。选项D“Doing crafts brings a greater sense of happiness than playing games for Zhang Li.”符合题意。
C
Have you ever seen a painting over 5 meters long? Along the River During the Qingming Festival is one of China’s most famous traditional paintings. It was created by Zhang Zeduan, a talented artist from the Song Dynasty.
Unlike typical landscape paintings that focus on mountains and rivers, this artwork shows the daily life of ordinary people. The scroll (卷轴) is like a “video” of ancient times. It shows a bustling (喧闹的) scene of Bianjing, the capital city at that time. From farmers selling vegetables to businessmen trading goods, the painting perfectly captures the social life of the Northern Song Dynasty.
One of the most interesting details is the “ancient delivery man.” Near a hotel called “Shiqian Jiaodian”, a man wearing an apron (围裙) is rushing down the street. He’s holding two bowls of rice in one hand and chopsticks in the other. It’s believed to be China’s earliest image of a “food delivery guy.” The food service industry was already highly developed in the Song Dynasty!
Another highlight is the arch (拱形的) bridge. Under it, a large boat is struggling to pass through. The people on the boat are shouting, while the boatmen on the shore are waving to guide them. The moments make the painting look alive—as if we’re watching real life from over 900 years ago.
Besides, the painting also hides clever business ideas. Near the hotel, “Shiqian Jiaodian”, a lantern box with candles inside hangs at the door—like a Northern Song “neon sign” (霓虹灯)—to attract customers at night. Also, some teahouses even wrote dish names on their walls, creating the world’s earliest “menu” to help guests order easily. These show how lively and creative daily life was in Bianjing.
Today, the original painting is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing. It’s not just a piece of art; it’s also a valuable historical document (文献) that helps us learn about the life and culture of ancient China.
21. What is special about Along the River During the Qingming Festival compared with typical landscape paintings?
A. It was painted in the Ming Dynasty. B. It is much shorter than other scrolls.
C. It focuses on the lives of common people. D. It only shows natural scenery.
22. Why does the writer mention the “ancient delivery man”?
A. To show that people in the Song Dynasty liked fast food.
B. To show the food service industry was rather advanced then.
C. To explain how to become a delivery man.
D. To compare ancient food with modern food.
23. Which of the following is TRUE about the “Shiqian Jiaodian” in the painting?
A. It was the only hotel that sold wine in Bianjing.
B. It provided free delivery service for all citizens.
C. It used a candle-lit lantern box as a sign to interest night customers.
D. It was a hotel that hung dish names on the wall to help guests order.
24. What can we know about the original painting in the last paragraph?
A. It is the first or real version of the painting kept in Beijing. B. It is a copy made by a machine.
C. It is a picture drawn by a student. D. It is an old building in Beijing.
25. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The history of the Song Dynasty.
B. The differences between ancient and modern delivery services.
C. How to run a hotel in ancient Bianjing.
D. A Scroll of Life: the story and details behind the famous painting.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. C 24. A 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍名画《清明上河图》,它由宋代张择端创作,和传统山水画不同,描绘北宋汴京百姓日常生活,文中介绍了画里古代外卖员、拱桥、酒楼商业巧思等有趣细节,原作现藏北京故宫,它既是艺术品也是研究古中国生活文化的珍贵史料。
【21题详解】
第二段对比说明:“Unlike typical landscape paintings that focus on mountains and rivers, this artwork shows the daily life of ordinary people”,这直接说明和传统山水画相比,《清明上河图》的特别之处在于聚焦普通百姓的生活。
【22题详解】
第三段结尾点明用意:“It’s believed to be China’s earliest image of a ‘food delivery guy.’ The food service industry was already highly developed in the Song Dynasty!”,作者提及“古代外卖员”是为展现当时餐饮服务行业已经相当发达。
【23题详解】
第五段描述酒楼细节:“Near the hotel, ‘Shiqian Jiaodian’, a lantern box with candles inside hangs at the door—like a Northern Song ‘neon sign’—to attract customers at night”,由此可知十千脚店用内置蜡烛的灯笼箱作招牌,吸引夜间客人。
【24题详解】
最后一段介绍原作现状:“Today, the original painting is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing”,original painting意为“原作、真迹”,说明这幅画的原版真品收藏在北京。
【25题详解】
全文整体围绕《清明上河图》这幅画卷展开,依次介绍画作背景、市井生活细节、画中趣味场景、古代商业创意与文物价值,D选项“A Scroll of Life: the story and details behind the famous painting”能完整概括全文内容,是最佳标题。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了中国传统工艺——风筝制作的历史、用途、材料、制作难度及文化意义,强调这一古老艺术在现代化进程中依然充满活力。
【36题详解】
句意:它是一种有着两千多年悠久历史的古老艺术形式。表示“具有……历史”需用介词with。
【37题详解】
句意:风筝被认为是世界上最早的飞行物体之一。“one of+名词复数”表示“……之一”,此处用复数形式objects。
【38题详解】
句意:它们最初被用来传递信息,甚至测量距离。固定搭配“be used to do sth.”表示“被用来做某事”,强调用途和目的,故用不定式to send。
【39题详解】
句意:框架轻巧结实;封面绘有龙或花等彩色图案。主语“the cover”与动词“paint”之间为被动关系(封面被绘制),且描述客观事实,应用一般现在时的被动语态“is/are+过去分词”。主语为单数,故填is painted。
【40题详解】
句意:它们是好运的最传统的象征之一。空格后为名词“symbols”,需填形容词作定语。此处“among the”常与最高级搭配,表示“在……中最……的之一”,强调这些象征在传统性上的突出地位。因此将“traditional”变为最高级“most traditional”,意为“最传统的象征之一”。
【41题详解】
句意:然而,制作风筝需要耐心和技巧。此处需填主语成分,表示“制作风筝”这件事。英语中常用动名词作主语,表示抽象或一般性动作,故填making。
【42题详解】
句意:潍坊被广泛认为是中国风筝之乡。空格修饰动词“known”,需用副词形式。形容词“wide”意为“宽的”,副词“widely”意为“广泛地”,符合句意。
【43题详解】
句意:尽管现代生活发生了很大变化,但风筝艺术依然充满活力。前后句存在“让步—转折”逻辑关系,前半句承认现代生活变化大,后半句说明风筝艺术依然活跃,需用连词“Though”或“Although”引导让步状语从句,句首首字母大写。
【44题详解】
句意:放风筝就像是把一个彩色的梦想放飞在蓝天中。空格后为单数可数名词“dream”,且此处表示泛指“一个彩色的梦想”,“colorful”为辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词“a”。
【45题详解】
句意:就像风筝本身一样,这种古老的艺术继续乘着时间的风,连接着历史与自然。空格前为“the kite”,空格后为逗号和主句,需要反身代词强调“风筝本身”,表示“就它自己而言”。kite的反身代词为itself。

When 14-year-old Zhang Li from Chengdu felt stressed about her upcoming exams, she didn’t turn to her phone or video games. Instead, she picked up her knitting needles (编织针) and a ball of soft, blue wool.
“I’m making a scarf for my mom,” Zhang Li explained, her fingers moving quickly. “The repeated movements are very calming. When I focus on each stitch (针脚), I forget about my worries for a while.”
Zhang Li is one of a growing number of Chinese teenagers who are discovering the benefits of traditional crafts like knitting, embroidery (刺绣), and paper-cutting. These activities, once seen as old-fashioned, are becoming popular ways to reduce stress and improve mental well-being.
Experts say there are good reasons for this trend. “Crafts require focus and patience,” says Dr. Wang, a child psychologist. “This kind of focus is similar to meditation. It helps calm the mind and reduce anxiety. Also, the feeling of creating something with your own hands brings a sense of achievement.”
Many schools have noticed this positive effect. The Sunshine Middle School in Shanghai started a “Mindful Crafts” club last term. “We have over 60 students now, both boys and girls,” said the club’s teacher, Ms. Zhao. “They come to relax, share their work and support each other. It’s not just about the final product, but the peaceful process.”
For Zhang Li, finishing the scarf for her mom was a proud moment. “Seeing her wear something I made with my own hands makes me really happy,” she smiled. “It’s a much better feeling than getting a high score on a game.”
16. Why did Zhang Li start knitting according to the passage?
A. To make money for her family. B. To reduce her stress about school exams.
C. To prepare a gift for her mother’s birthday. D. To learn a new skill from her grandmother.
17. What does the underlined word “meditation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. A quiet activity that helps you relax and clear your thoughts
B. A fast-paced sport that improves physical strength
C. A type of loud music that energizes people
D. A game that requires quick thinking and competition
18. What do experts say about doing crafts like knitting?
A. It helps calm the mind similar to meditation. B. It is mainly useful for creating beautiful things.
C. It is a modern way to communicate with friends. D. It is a waste of time that could be used for studying.
19. Which of the following is TRUE about the “Mindful Crafts” club?
A. It was started by Dr. Wang, a child psychologist. B. It only accepts girls who are interested in knitting.
C. Students join it to relax and share their craft works. D. It pays more attention to the final products than the process.
20. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Most boys are not interested in traditional crafts.
B. Taking up traditional crafts helps improve students’ grades.
C. Traditional crafts are becoming more popular than video games in China.
D. Doing crafts brings a greater sense of happiness than playing games for Zhang Li.
C
Have you ever seen a painting over 5 meters long? Along the River During the Qingming Festival is one of China’s most famous traditional paintings. It was created by Zhang Zeduan, a talented artist from the Song Dynasty.
Unlike typical landscape paintings that focus on mountains and rivers, this artwork shows the daily life of ordinary people. The scroll (卷轴) is like a “video” of ancient times. It shows a bustling (喧闹的) scene of Bianjing, the capital city at that time. From farmers selling vegetables to businessmen trading goods, the painting perfectly captures the social life of the Northern Song Dynasty.
One of the most interesting details is the “ancient delivery man.” Near a hotel called “Shiqian Jiaodian”, a man wearing an apron (围裙) is rushing down the street. He’s holding two bowls of rice in one hand and chopsticks in the other. It’s believed to be China’s earliest image of a “food delivery guy.” The food service industry was already highly developed in the Song Dynasty!
Another highlight is the arch (拱形的) bridge. Under it, a large boat is struggling to pass through. The people on the boat are shouting, while the boatmen on the shore are waving to guide them. The moments make the painting look alive—as if we’re watching real life from over 900 years ago.
Besides, the painting also hides clever business ideas. Near the hotel, “Shiqian Jiaodian”, a lantern box with candles inside hangs at the door—like a Northern Song “neon sign” (霓虹灯)—to attract customers at night. Also, some teahouses even wrote dish names on their walls, creating the world’s earliest “menu” to help guests order easily. These show how lively and creative daily life was in Bianjing.
Today, the original painting is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing. It’s not just a piece of art; it’s also a valuable historical document (文献) that helps us learn about the life and culture of ancient China.
21. What is special about Along the River During the Qingming Festival compared with typical landscape paintings?
A. It was painted in the Ming Dynasty. B. It is much shorter than other scrolls.
C. It focuses on the lives of common people. D. It only shows natural scenery.
22. Why does the writer mention the “ancient delivery man”?
A. To show that people in the Song Dynasty liked fast food.
B. To show the food service industry was rather advanced then.
C. To explain how to become a delivery man.
D. To compare ancient food with modern food.
23. Which of the following is TRUE about the “Shiqian Jiaodian” in the painting?
A. It was the only hotel that sold wine in Bianjing.
B. It provided free delivery service for all citizens.
C. It used a candle-lit lantern box as a sign to interest night customers.
D. It was a hotel that hung dish names on the wall to help guests order.
24. What can we know about the original painting in the last paragraph?
A. It is the first or real version of the painting kept in Beijing. B. It is a copy made by a machine.
C. It is a picture drawn by a student. D. It is an old building in Beijing.
25. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The history of the Song Dynasty.
B. The differences between ancient and modern delivery services.
C. How to run a hotel in ancient Bianjing.
D. A Scroll of Life: the story and details behind the famous painting.
