The corner was not very large, but it needed clear signs, clean tables and simple English notes. Some teenagers drew zodiac animals, while others wrote short introductions about their meanings. At first, several helpers only knew the animal names. They could say Rat, Ox and Tiger, but they did not know how to explain the ideas behind them. A volunteer teacher then told them that Ox is connected with hard work and Tiger with bravery. She also shared the story of Rat and Ox crossing the river. The teenagers listened carefully and began to improve their notes. On the opening day, two visitors from another city stopped in front of the pictures. One helper introduced the 12-year cycle in simple English. Another helper explained that asking about an animal sign can be a polite way to start a friendly talk. The visitors smiled and asked more questions. After the activity, the helpers felt proud. They found that learning culture was useful, and sharing it in clear words could make old stories lively again. 26. What did the teenagers help prepare? A. A sports meeting. B. A cooking lesson. C.

It is a cultural language that helps people talk about time, wishes and personal qualities. Each animal sign carries a symbolic meaning. For example, Ox reminds people of hard work, Rabbit of carefulness, and Dog of trustiness. These meanings are easy to remember because they come from long-time observation of animals and daily life. In daily communication, zodiac signs can make a conversation warmer. When people ask about someone's animal sign, they are often trying to start a friendly talk rather than asking age directly. Of course, the question should be asked politely, especially when people do not know each other well. A smile and a short explanation can make the talk comfortable. Zodiac culture is also useful in creative activities. Young people may draw animal signs, make paper-cuts, design postcards or tell legends in English. These tasks help them put culture into practice. When a student explains why Dragon is a symbol of strength and good wishes, the listener learns both a word and a cultural idea. In this way, traditional culture can enter modern study, community service and even future tourism work. 31. What does Ox remind people of? A. Changeability. B. Carefulness. C. Peace. D. Hard work. 32. Why may people ask about someone's animal sign? A. To sell postcards. B. To start a friendly talk. C. To decide a test score. D. To stop a meeting. 33. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The symbolic meanings. B. The animal pictures. C. The creative tasks. D. The tourism workers. 34. Which creative activity is mentioned in the passage? A. Repairing machines. B. Taking a bus. C. Making paper-cuts. D. Planting rice. 35. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To ask people to remember every animal story. B. To compare all calendars in the world. C. To tell students not to ask questions. D. To explain the meanings and uses of zodiac culture. 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍十二生肖的象征意义、交际价值和实践应用，考查细节理解、代词指代和写作目的判断。 【详解】31.细节理解题。根据第一段“Ox reminds people of hard work”可知，牛让人想到勤劳。 【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第二段“trying to start a friendly talk”可知，询问生肖常用于开启友好交流。 【详解】33.词义猜测题。前句提到“Each animal sign carries a symbolic meaning”，后句说明这些意义容易记住，因此they指“象征意义”。 【详解】34.细节理解题。根据第三段“make paper-cuts”可知，文中提到剪纸活动。 【详解】35.写作目的题。文章围绕生肖文化的含义和用途展开说明，D项最符合。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分。） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，并填入空白处。 A Drawing-and-Writing Task A culture club asked students to finish a drawing-and-writing task about one zodiac animal.

Why teenagers dislike stories. C. Teenagers learning and sharing zodiac culture. D. A competition about animal food. Text 3 The Chinese zodiac is more than a way to mark years. It is a cultural language that helps people talk about time, wishes and personal qualities. Each animal sign carries a symbolic meaning. For example, Ox reminds people of hard work, Rabbit of carefulness, and Dog of trustiness. These meanings are easy to remember because they come from long-time observation of animals and daily life. In daily communication, zodiac signs can make a conversation warmer. When people ask about someone's animal sign, they are often trying to start a friendly talk rather than asking age directly. Of course, the question should be asked politely, especially when people do not know each other well. A smile and a short explanation can make the talk comfortable. Zodiac culture is also useful in creative activities. Young people may draw animal signs, make paper-cuts, design postcards or tell legends in English. These tasks help them put culture into practice. When a student explains why Dragon is a symbol of strength and good wishes, the listener learns both a word and a cultural idea. In this way, traditional culture can enter modern study, community service and even future tourism work. 31. What does Ox remind people of? A. Changeability. B. Carefulness. C. Peace. D.
