Yingge dance has just become more popular. During the past Spring Festival, a team of Yingge dancers from South China’s Guangdong Province amazed people in London. The sound of drums, gongs and shouts echoed (回响) throughout London’s streets. It is the first time that the Yingge dance, a national cultural heritage (文化遗产) in China, has been performed overseas.
A viewer named Lucy said, “Watching the dance was like stepping into a different world with the vivid colors, the lively expressions of the dancers. We don’t get to see things like that here. I was left in amazement by the ancient dance.” “We’ve waited for 300 years for the dance group to come to Europe. I have to say, it was well worth the wait. It has stood out,” said another viewer, Nina.
Meaningfully translated as the “Songs of Heroes” dance, the 300-year-old dance rose from Chaozhou—Shantou region in Guangdong. Based on the stories of the 108 heroes of Liangshan Mountain from the classic novel Outlaws of the Marsh, with Shuihu Zhuan as its Chinese name, this folk art mixes a variety of forms, from martial (军事的) arts and Chinese opera to dance.
The lead dancer, “Shi Qian”, holds a snake in his hands, whose style of dancing is thought to drive off ghosts. Other performers each dress as one of the 108 heroes. They also wear different opera-style makeups, according to their roles. Dancers wave a pair of short sticks and make powerful movements. They hit the sticks together now and then while walking and dancing.
The coach, Chen Laifa, is a national-level inheritor of Yingge dance. ① “When it first appeared 300 years ago, Yingge was a celebration of the success of goodness over evil, and nowadays it is seen as a peace messenger,” said Chen. “We would like to make this spirit known to the British people and, at the same time, as the spreading of our culture.”

Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries.
But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road.
The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like papermaking were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China.
Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It can not be seen anywhere else.
The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things.

There were several kinds of greetings in ancient China. Among them, the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite common. Today, though Chinese would usually shake hands when meeting friends, people would still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the traditional Chinese New Year.
The fist-and-palm salute is a typical Chinese etiquette (礼节) with a history of more than 3,000 years. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, their hands were always ready to hold together.
Holding hands together showed that people could feel relaxed. Later it became the etiquette when meeting each other and showing thanks. In modern China, the fist-and-palm salute has been used a lot on traditional occasions.
What are the steps for the fist-and-palm salute? Firstly, stand straight. If you are a man, let your right hand be a half fist, and then your left hand hold your right hand in front of your chest. Watch each other in the eyes, raise both of your hands to your brow, bend down and shake your hands toward each other gently for three times. Meanwhile, you could say some lucky greeting words such as “gong xi fa cai (Wish you much money)”, “ni hao (Hello)”, “xing hui (Nice to meet you)”, “xin nian kuai le (Happy New Year)” according to different occasions. It’s believed that people considered the left as the important side for men in Chinese history, while for women, the important side is the right. So, if you are a woman, you should make the fist-and-palm salute in the other way—put your right hand on your left hand. At last, please remember when someone makes the fist-and-palm salute to you, you need to do it back as well.

In the busy streets of Shanghai, a young woman wearing traditional Chinese ethnic (民族的) clothing turns heads. But to everyone’s surprise, this woman isn’t Chinese—she’s 56 (America). And her name is Mahoney.
Mahoney 57 (live) in Shanghai since she was a child. From folk dance to traditional food, she has always had a deep love for Chinese culture. The 58 (long) she stays in China, the more she loses herself in its beauty. Now 21, Mahoney studies Chinese language and literature at East China Normal University. Her social media series (系列), “Foreigners Challenge: Wearing All 56 Chinese Ethnic Clothes,” has made her popular online.
The series begins 59 a video of her wearing traditional Mongolian clothing. One moment, Mahoney is in her usual clothes. 60 , she soon shows up in a beautiful Mongolian robe (长袍). As she walks down the street, many people stop 61 (take) photos with her, and some ask her questions to learn more about what she’s wearing.
Over the 62 (follow) months, Mahoney explored many other ethnic clothes. She didn’t just wear them. Each time, she looked into the culture and history behind the clothes. Sometimes, she even traveled to visit the ethnic groups. In Guizhou, for example, Mahoney dressed as a Dong girl and 63 (join) the locals in singing and dancing during a traditional festival.
Mahoney says this challenge isn’t just about fashion. It’s also about bridging diverse cultures. Indeed, her 64 (friend) in the U.S. knew little about China’s rich traditions until they saw her videos.
Lately, Mahoney has started a new “Foreigners Challenge.” She wants to try 100 of China’s intangible cultural heritages (非物质文化遗产). For her, it is more than fun. She hopes her videos will encourage more people to take 65 closer look at Chinese culture.

Yingge dance has just become more popular. During the past Spring Festival, a team of Yingge dancers from South China’s Guangdong Province amazed people in London. The sound of drums, gongs and shouts echoed (回响) throughout London’s streets. It is the first time that the Yingge dance, a national cultural heritage (文化遗产) in China, has been performed overseas.
A viewer named Lucy said, “Watching the dance was like stepping into a different world with the vivid colors, the lively expressions of the dancers. We don’t get to see things like that here.

It has stood out,” said another viewer, Nina.
Meaningfully translated as the “Songs of Heroes” dance, the 300-year-old dance rose from Chaozhou—Shantou region in Guangdong. Based on the stories of the 108 heroes of Liangshan Mountain from the classic novel Outlaws of the Marsh, with Shuihu Zhuan as its Chinese name, this folk art mixes a variety of forms, from martial (军事的) arts and Chinese opera to dance.
The lead dancer, “Shi Qian”, holds a snake in his hands, whose style of dancing is thought to drive off ghosts. Other performers each dress as one of the 108 heroes. They also wear different opera-style makeups, according to their roles. Dancers wave a pair of short sticks and make powerful movements. They hit the sticks together now and then while walking and dancing.
The coach, Chen Laifa, is a national-level inheritor of Yingge dance. ① “When it first appeared 300 years ago, Yingge was a celebration of the success of goodness over evil, and nowadays it is seen as a peace messenger,” said Chen. “We would like to make this spirit known to the British people and, at the same time, as the spreading of our culture.”

Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries.
But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road.
The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like papermaking were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China.
Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It can not be seen anywhere else.
The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things.

四、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
There were several kinds of greetings in ancient China. Among them, the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite common. Today, though Chinese would usually shake hands when meeting friends, people would still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the traditional Chinese New Year.
The fist-and-palm salute is a typical Chinese etiquette (礼节) with a history of more than 3,000 years. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, their hands were always ready to hold together.
Holding hands together showed that people could feel relaxed. Later it became the etiquette when meeting each other and showing thanks. In modern China, the fist-and-palm salute has been used a lot on traditional occasions.
What are the steps for the fist-and-palm salute? Firstly, stand straight. If you are a man, let your right hand be a half fist, and then your left hand hold your right hand in front of your chest. Watch each other in the eyes, raise both of your hands to your brow, bend down and shake your hands toward each other gently for three times. Meanwhile, you could say some lucky greeting words such as “gong xi fa cai (Wish you much money)”, “ni hao (Hello)”, “xing hui (Nice to meet you)”, “xin nian kuai le (Happy New Year)” according to different occasions. It’s believed that people considered the left as the important side for men in Chinese history, while for women, the important side is the right. So, if you are a woman, you should make the fist-and-palm salute in the other way—put your right hand on your left hand. At last, please remember when someone makes the fist-and-palm salute to you, you need to do it back as well.

Mahoney 57 (live) in Shanghai since she was a child. From folk dance to traditional food, she has always had a deep love for Chinese culture. The 58 (long) she stays in China, the more she loses herself in its beauty. Now 21, Mahoney studies Chinese language and literature at East China Normal University. Her social media series (系列), “Foreigners Challenge: Wearing All 56 Chinese Ethnic Clothes,” has made her popular online.
The series begins 59 a video of her wearing traditional Mongolian clothing. One moment, Mahoney is in her usual clothes. 60 , she soon shows up in a beautiful Mongolian robe (长袍). As she walks down the street, many people stop 61 (take) photos with her, and some ask her questions to learn more about what she’s wearing.
Over the 62 (follow) months, Mahoney explored many other ethnic clothes. She didn’t just wear them. Each time, she looked into the culture and history behind the clothes. Sometimes, she even traveled to visit the ethnic groups. In Guizhou, for example, Mahoney dressed as a Dong girl and 63 (join) the locals in singing and dancing during a traditional festival.
Mahoney says this challenge isn’t just about fashion. It’s also about bridging diverse cultures. Indeed, her 64 (friend) in the U.S. knew little about China’s rich traditions until they saw her videos.
Lately, Mahoney has started a new “Foreigners Challenge.” She wants to try 100 of China’s intangible cultural heritages (非物质文化遗产). For her, it is more than fun. She hopes her videos will encourage more people to take 65 closer look at Chinese culture.
