Chinese Paper-Cutting: A Traditional Art
Paper-cutting is one of China’s oldest traditional folk arts. It has a history of more than 1,500 years. People use scissors or knives to cut paper into different patterns, such as flowers, animals and characters.
Paper-cutting originated in the Han Dynasty. At first, people used it for religious ceremonies(宗教仪式). Later, it became popular in daily life. During festivals, people put paper-cuts on windows, doors and walls to celebrate. For example, during the Spring Festival, people cut paper into the shape of “Fu”(福)and stick it on doors to wish for good luck. During weddings, red paper-cuts of double happiness(双喜)are used to express joy.
Paper-cutting varies from region to region in China. In northern China, paper-cuts are usually bold and simple; in southern China, they are more delicate and detailed. For example, paper-cuts from Shaanxi Province are known for their large size and bright colors, while those from Guangdong Province are famous for their fine patterns.
Today, paper-cutting is not only a traditional art but also a cultural symbol of China. It has been listed as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage(世界非物质文化遗产)by UNESCO. Many artists are working to protect and develop this art. They have created new paper-cut patterns that combine traditional and modern elements. For example, some artists cut paper into patterns of Chinese astronauts and high-speed trains to show China’s development.
Paper-cutting is also popular around the world. Every year, many foreign visitors come to China to learn paper-cutting. Some foreign artists even create paper-cuts with their own cultural elements, which helps promote cultural exchange between China and other countries.
1. How long is the history of Chinese paper-cutting?
A. More than 500 years. B. More than 1,000 years.
C. More than 1,500 years. D. More than 2,000 years.
2. What did people use paper-cutting for at first?
A. Religious ceremonies. B. Daily decoration.
C. Wedding celebrations. D. Festival gifts.
3. What is the characteristic of paper-cuts from Shaanxi Province?
A. Delicate and detailed. B. Bold and simple.
C. Small and colorful. D. Fine and modern.
4. Why do some artists create paper-cuts of astronauts and high-speed trains?
A. To make more money. B. To show China’s development.

4. 细节理解题。答案依据:文章第四段提到 “They have created new paper-cut patterns that combine traditional and modernelements. For example, some artists cut paper into patterns of Chinese astronauts and high-speed trains to showChina’s development.”(许多艺术家创作了融合传统与现代元素的新剪纸图案,例如,一些艺术家将纸剪成中国宇航员和高铁的图案,以展示中国的发展)。选项分析:选项 B“To show China’s development”(为了展示中国的发展)与原文中 “to show China’sdevelopment” 的目的表述完全一致;A(为了赚更多钱)、C(为了吸引外国游客)、D(为了赢得艺术比赛)均未在文中提及,属于无中生有,因此 B 为正确答案。

Chinese Paper-Cutting: A Traditional Art
Paper-cutting is one of China’s oldest traditional folk arts. It has a history of more than 1,500 years. People use scissors or knives to cut paper into different patterns, such as flowers, animals and characters.
Paper-cutting originated in the Han Dynasty. At first, people used it for religious ceremonies(宗教仪式). Later, it became popular in daily life. During festivals, people put paper-cuts on windows, doors and walls to celebrate. For example, during the Spring Festival, people cut paper into the shape of “Fu”(福)and stick it on doors to wish for good luck. During weddings, red paper-cuts of double happiness(双喜)are used to express joy.
Paper-cutting varies from region to region in China. In northern China, paper-cuts are usually bold and simple; in southern China, they are more delicate and detailed. For example, paper-cuts from Shaanxi Province are known for their large size and bright colors, while those from Guangdong Province are famous for their fine patterns.
Today, paper-cutting is not only a traditional art but also a cultural symbol of China. It has been listed as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage(世界非物质文化遗产)by UNESCO. Many artists are working to protect and develop this art. They have created new paper-cut patterns that combine traditional and modern elements. For example, some artists cut paper into patterns of Chinese astronauts and high-speed trains to show China’s development.
Paper-cutting is also popular around the world. Every year, many foreign visitors come to China to learn paper-cutting. Some foreign artists even create paper-cuts with their own cultural elements, which helps promote cultural exchange between China and other countries.
