It’s a traditional Chinese art form. It shows the wisdom of many Chinese people through many centuries. Leaf-vein embroidery is from Guizhou Province. This art form first appeared (出现) during the Song Dynasty. Local people used it to create beautiful artwork and even send messages to each other. Yang Li, a master (大师) of leaf-vein embroidery, is always working on learning and teaching the skill. Leaf-vein embroidery is very difficult. First, artists must carefully choose the best leaves from special plants in the mountains. Then they need to dry the leaves for about 20 days until they become soft. Finally, they draw something beautiful on the leaves and embroider (绣) them. “Each piece takes weeks to finish,” Yang Li said. “The leaves are easy to break, so we can’t make even one small mistake.” This traditional art form faces big challenges today. Yang Li said that only about 20 people in her city could finish the whole leaf-vein embroidery process by themselves. “Young people like modern jobs with better pay,” she said sadly. She wanted to do something for this art. To save this tradition, Yang Li works very hard to teach others. She opened a factory in 2011 and trained more than 500 women, even many from poor areas. In 2022, she also started using the internet (网络) to show young people about leaf-vein embroidery. Her student Yang Xinyu helps her make short videos online.

Take a rest, look out of the window or just use your phone? Did you ever think about what other things you could do on the train? Well, some trains in China become a place for learning about Chinese culture (文化). Tourists on the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Heilongjiang had a chance to meet five artists from the Oroqen (鄂伦春族). Gulayier Ente, one of the artists, dressed in traditional clothes and sang Oroqen songs. The beautiful music made people cheerful. “For me, this experience is wonderful. Being closer to tourists and chatting with them helped us all enjoy ourselves,” said Gulayier. The train started running in January 2025 to celebrate the Chinese New Year. During the train journey, artists showed their skills like making birch bark (桦树皮) paintings besides singing and dancing. “We can watch special shows and learn about Chinese culture. It’s really exciting!” said Ms. Zhang, a tourist from Guizhou. In fact, there are more Chinese art shows on trains, including Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing and tea-picking operas (采茶戏) from Guangxi, and so on. Trains go across most areas of China, so they are great for sharing Chinese culture with more people. Different from museums, trains can bring cultural experiences directly to people. However, there are still some difficulties. For example, the space on trains is a little small, and people get on and off at each station. Train workers need to work harder to integrate (融入) Chinese culture into train journeys. 36．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions.

A．What tourists think of the artists’ shows. B．When tourists can enjoy the Chinese culture. C．Why Chinese culture is important to the world. D．How to better show Chinese culture on trains. 【答案】36．C 37．A 38．B 39．D 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍中国部分火车（如哈尔滨至漠河的K7041次列车）成为移动的文化课堂，通过展示鄂伦春族歌舞、桦树皮画等民间艺术，让旅客在旅途中体验中国传统文化，并探讨了这种创新形式的意义与挑战。 36．细节理解题。根据文中“What do you usually do when you’re on the train…Did you ever think about...?”可知，作者通过连续提问引出主题，故选C。 37．主旨大意题​​ 。根据文中“Tourists...had a chance to meet artists...dressed in traditional clothes and sang...chatting with them helped us all enjoy ourselves”可知，本段核心是传统文化在列车上的生动展示，故选A。 38．细节理解题。根据文中“It’s really exciting!”可知，张女士的感受是“兴奋的”，故选B。 39．推理判断题。根据文中“Trains go across most areas of China, so they are great for sharing Chinese culture with more people”及全文对列车传播文化的描述可知，写作目的是说明列车成为人与文化的桥梁，故选D。 40．推理判断题​​。根据末段“Train workers need to work harder to integrate Chinese culture into train journeys”可知，下文可能继续探讨如何优化列车上的文化展示方式，故选D。 D When Mrs. White happily told the class about a trip to the Opera House for a ballet performance (表演), the students were really excited.

Even the rubbish bins were made of porcelain. We were 17 at all of these things. How wonderful! At the museum, we learned about how to make porcelain. First, workers need to shape the porcelain clay into something, like pots. Then, the workers use a special paint called ceramic glaze (陶瓷釉) to 18 pictures on it. It takes them many hours to finish it. After that, the workers will put the pieces into a kiln (窑) and burn (煅烧) them at a very 19 temperature for 12 to 24 hours. 20 the workers take the pieces out after they cool down. As the saying goes, 21 only comes through hard work. It’s easy to see that making porcelain is very difficult and costs much time. But the workers’ hard work made beautiful things.

It’s a traditional Chinese art form. It shows the wisdom of many Chinese people through many centuries. Leaf-vein embroidery is from Guizhou Province. This art form first appeared (出现) during the Song Dynasty. Local people used it to create beautiful artwork and even send messages to each other. Yang Li, a master (大师) of leaf-vein embroidery, is always working on learning and teaching the skill. Leaf-vein embroidery is very difficult. First, artists must carefully choose the best leaves from special plants in the mountains. Then they need to dry the leaves for about 20 days until they become soft. Finally, they draw something beautiful on the leaves and embroider (绣) them. “Each piece takes weeks to finish,” Yang Li said. “The leaves are easy to break, so we can’t make even one small mistake.” This traditional art form faces big challenges today. Yang Li said that only about 20 people in her city could finish the whole leaf-vein embroidery process by themselves. “Young people like modern jobs with better pay,” she said sadly. She wanted to do something for this art. To save this tradition, Yang Li works very hard to teach others. She opened a factory in 2011 and trained more than 500 women, even many from poor areas. In 2022, she also started using the internet (网络) to show young people about leaf-vein embroidery. Her student Yang Xinyu helps her make short videos online. Yang Xinyu said, “I want to help keep it alive.” 31．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By giving an example. D．By using numbers. 32．Where is leaf-vein embroidery from? A．Guizhou. B．Yunnan. C．Fujian. D．Jiangxi. 33．How long do artists need to dry the leaves until they become soft? A．For about 5 days.B．For about 10 days. C．For about 20 days. D．For about 30 days. 34．What does the underlined word “process” mean in Chinese?

A．Unit 1 Sound Body, Sound Mind B．Unit 2 The World of Art C．Unit 3 School Life D．Unit 4 Our Blue Planet C What do you usually do when you’re on the train? Take a rest, look out of the window or just use your phone? Did you ever think about what other things you could do on the train? Well, some trains in China become a place for learning about Chinese culture (文化). Tourists on the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Heilongjiang had a chance to meet five artists from the Oroqen (鄂伦春族). Gulayier Ente, one of the artists, dressed in traditional clothes and sang Oroqen songs. The beautiful music made people cheerful. “For me, this experience is wonderful. Being closer to tourists and chatting with them helped us all enjoy ourselves,” said Gulayier. The train started running in January 2025 to celebrate the Chinese New Year. During the train journey, artists showed their skills like making birch bark (桦树皮) paintings besides singing and dancing. “We can watch special shows and learn about Chinese culture. It’s really exciting!” said Ms. Zhang, a tourist from Guizhou. In fact, there are more Chinese art shows on trains, including Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing and tea-picking operas (采茶戏) from Guangxi, and so on. Trains go across most areas of China, so they are great for sharing Chinese culture with more people. Different from museums, trains can bring cultural experiences directly to people. However, there are still some difficulties. For example, the space on trains is a little small, and people get on and off at each station. Train workers need to work harder to integrate (融入) Chinese culture into train journeys. 36．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions.

C．To ask more people to learn to make birch bark paintings. D．To show trains can be a bridge between people and culture. 40．What may the writer talk about in the next paragraph? A．What tourists think of the artists’ shows. B．When tourists can enjoy the Chinese culture. C．Why Chinese culture is important to the world. D．How to better show Chinese culture on trains.

Even the rubbish bins were made of porcelain. We were 17 at all of these things. How wonderful! At the museum, we learned about how to make porcelain. First, workers need to shape the porcelain clay into something, like pots. Then, the workers use a special paint called ceramic glaze (陶瓷釉) to 18 pictures on it. It takes them many hours to finish it. After that, the workers will put the pieces into a kiln (窑) and burn (煅烧) them at a very 19 temperature for 12 to 24 hours. 20 the workers take the pieces out after they cool down. As the saying goes, 21 only comes through hard work. It’s easy to see that making porcelain is very difficult and costs much time. But the workers’ hard work made beautiful things. On the last day of our trip, we went to Taoxichuan Art Avenue (大道). Many porcelain lovers were there making their 22 porcelain works. Tourists 23 the market and picked out works they liked.

It’s a traditional Chinese art form. It shows the wisdom of many Chinese people through many centuries. Leaf-vein embroidery is from Guizhou Province. This art form first appeared (出现) during the Song Dynasty. Local people used it to create beautiful artwork and even send messages to each other. Yang Li, a master (大师) of leaf-vein embroidery, is always working on learning and teaching the skill. Leaf-vein embroidery is very difficult. First, artists must carefully choose the best leaves from special plants in the mountains. Then they need to dry the leaves for about 20 days until they become soft. Finally, they draw something beautiful on the leaves and embroider (绣) them. “Each piece takes weeks to finish,” Yang Li said. “The leaves are easy to break, so we can’t make even one small mistake.” This traditional art form faces big challenges today. Yang Li said that only about 20 people in her city could finish the whole leaf-vein embroidery process by themselves. “Young people like modern jobs with better pay,” she said sadly. She wanted to do something for this art. To save this tradition, Yang Li works very hard to teach others. She opened a factory in 2011 and trained more than 500 women, even many from poor areas. In 2022, she also started using the internet (网络) to show young people about leaf-vein embroidery. Her student Yang Xinyu helps her make short videos online. Yang Xinyu said, “I want to help keep it alive.” 31．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By giving an example. D．By using numbers. 32．Where is leaf-vein embroidery from? A．Guizhou. B．Yunnan. C．Fujian. D．Jiangxi. 33．How long do artists need to dry the leaves until they become soft? A．For about 5 days.B．For about 10 days. C．For about 20 days. D．For about 30 days. 34．What does the underlined word “process” mean in Chinese? A．局势 B．证明 C．设想 D．工序 35．In which unit of a textbook can we read the text? A．Unit 1 Sound Body, Sound Mind B．Unit 2 The World of Art C．Unit 3 School Life D．Unit 4 Our Blue Planet C What do you usually do when you’re on the train? Take a rest, look out of the window or just use your phone? Did you ever think about what other things you could do on the train? Well, some trains in China become a place for learning about Chinese culture (文化). Tourists on the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Heilongjiang had a chance to meet five artists from the Oroqen (鄂伦春族). Gulayier Ente, one of the artists, dressed in traditional clothes and sang Oroqen songs. The beautiful music made people cheerful. “For me, this experience is wonderful. Being closer to tourists and chatting with them helped us all enjoy ourselves,” said Gulayier. The train started running in January 2025 to celebrate the Chinese New Year. During the train journey, artists showed their skills like making birch bark (桦树皮) paintings besides singing and dancing. “We can watch special shows and learn about Chinese culture. It’s really exciting!” said Ms. Zhang, a tourist from Guizhou. In fact, there are more Chinese art shows on trains, including Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing and tea-picking operas (采茶戏) from Guangxi, and so on. Trains go across most areas of China, so they are great for sharing Chinese culture with more people. Different from museums, trains can bring cultural experiences directly to people. However, there are still some difficulties. For example, the space on trains is a little small, and people get on and off at each station. Train workers need to work harder to integrate (融入) Chinese culture into train journeys. 36．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions.

C．To ask more people to learn to make birch bark paintings. D．To show trains can be a bridge between people and culture. 40．What may the writer talk about in the next paragraph? A．What tourists think of the artists’ shows. B．When tourists can enjoy the Chinese culture. C．Why Chinese culture is important to the world. D．How to better show Chinese culture on trains.
