They carry the history, emotions and traditions of our nation. Different festivals have unique customs and celebrations, which have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. 传统节日是中华文化的瑰宝，承载着民族的历史、情感与传统。不同的节日有着独特的习俗与庆祝方式，历经千年，代代相传。 Many people think festival customs are just simple activities, but they have deep cultural meanings. For example, people eat mooncakes and admire the full moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, which stands for family reunion and harmony. On the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat zongzi and hold dragon boat races to honor the great ancient poet Qu Yuan. 很多人认为节日习俗只是简单的活动，实则蕴含深厚的文化内涵。例如，中秋节吃月饼、赏圆月，象征阖家团圆、和睦美满；端午节吃粽子、赛龙舟，是为了纪念伟大的古代诗人屈原。 These traditional customs are not only cultural symbols, but also spiritual bonds for Chinese people. No matter where people go, traditional festivals can remind them of their hometown and family, bringing them warmth and a sense of belonging. 这些传统习俗不仅是文化符号，更是中国人的精神纽带。无论人们身在何方，传统节日都能唤起人们对家乡和亲人的思念，给予人们温暖与归属感。 However, with the development of modern life, some traditional festival customs are gradually fading away. Many teenagers prefer foreign festivals and know little about traditional Chinese festivals and their meanings. 然而，随着现代生活的发展，部分传统节日习俗正逐渐淡化。不少青少年偏爱外国节日，对中国传统节日及其内涵知之甚少。 It is our duty as teenagers to protect and inherit traditional festival culture.

Today, sachets have been developed into different shapes, like tiger heads, monkeys and so on.”可知提到了香囊的形状，即a；根据“When making sachets, people first cut the cloth into different shapes. That makes them into bags with flowers and animals on these bags. Then they fill bags with wormwood and other herbal medicines. Finally, they hang bands on the top of the bags and fix red, blue and purple silks at the bottom.”可知提到了制作香囊的方法，即c；根据“In order to prevent diseases and keep healthy, the old usually wear plant-shaped sachets, such as lotus flowers and apples. These sachets usually stand for happiness and health. As for children, they like to wear animal-shaped sachets. Their sachets can not only protect them from diseases, but also make their holiday clothes more beautiful.”可知提到了佩戴香囊的意义，即d。文章未提及制作香囊的成本，即b未提到。所以提到的是acd，故选C。 17．篇章结构题。第一段主要讲述了云南牟定县人民每年都会用香囊来庆祝端午节，总领全文；第二、三段分别讲述了香囊的形状及制作方法；第四段介绍了佩戴香囊的规则及寓意，升华主题，所以文章结构是第一段总起，二三段和四段分别从不同方面进行阐述，结构为①/②③/④。故选A。 18．推理判断题。通读全文并根据第一段中“Every year, people in Mouding County (县), Yunnan Province become busy as the coming of the Dragon Boat Festival.

These numbers aren’t just for counting; they carry cultural meanings and make the artworks balanced and meaningful. Take the “double happiness” (双喜) paper-cutting, a common design for weddings, as an example. The pattern is made of 10 small squares: 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom, and 2 in the middle. Why 10? In Chinese culture, 10 stands for “perfection”—it comes from the idea that “heaven has 9 layers and earth has 1,” combining to make 10, a number that symbolizes wholeness. Also, the two “xi” (喜) characters in “double happiness” each have 12 strokes. The total 24 strokes represent “24 solar terms” in a year, a symbol of hope for a life full of good seasons, as the solar terms have guided farming and daily life for thousands of years. Another classic design is the “lotus with fish” (荷花鱼). The lotus flower in the cut has 16 petals (花瓣). Old paper-cutters say 16 is a “lucky even number”—it’s double 8, and 8 is connected to “prosperity” (wealth) because the Chinese character for 8 looks like it’s opening up, suggesting growth and expansion. The fish next to the lotus has 5 fins: 2 on its back, 2 on its sides, and 1 on its tail. The number 5 here represents the “five elements” (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) in Chinese philosophy. It’s believed that if the five elements are in balance, the family will be healthy and free from misfortune. However, keeping these number rules alive is getting hard. Young people who learn paper-cutting often focus more on the patterns than the hidden numbers, as they rarely hear the old stories behind the counts. Some even simplify the designs—for example, using 8 petals for the lotus instead of 16—to make cutting easier. To protect this tradition, some craftsmen now write down the number secrets in books and teach them in workshops. They don’t just show how to cut the shapes; they explain the connections between numbers and ancient beliefs, hoping that the next generation will not only cut beautiful paper but also carry on the cultural wisdom in the numbers. 19．Why does the number 10 symbolize “perfection” in the “double happiness” paper-cutting? A．It matches the 10 small squares in the pattern’s structure. B．It comes from the ancient idea of “heaven (9) + earth (1) = wholeness.” C．It represents the 10 layers of meaning in wedding traditions. D．It is the total number of strokes of the two “xi” characters. 20．What can we infer about young people’s simplified paper-cut designs? A．They make the designs more popular among foreign audiences. B．They help pass down the cultural meaning of the original numbers. C．They may lead to the loss of the hidden number-related wisdom. D．They show young people’s creativity in improving traditional crafts. 21．The writer mentions the “24 solar terms” and “five elements” in the passage to ________. A．prove that Chinese paper-cutting is older than other traditional arts B．explain why the numbers in paper-cutting have cultural value C．compare different cultural symbols used in wedding and daily designs D．show how paper-cutting patterns guide people’s farming and daily life 22．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Ancient Chinese beliefs about numbers have changed the way paper-cutting is made. B．Chinese paper-cutting’s hidden numbers carry cultural wisdom but face risks of not being passed down. C．The “double happiness” and “lotus with fish” are the most important paper-cutting designs. D．Craftsmen are trying to save traditional paper-cutting by writing down cutting techniques. 【答案】19．B 20．C 21．B 22．B 【导语】本文主要讨论了剪纸图案中数字的文化含义及传承困境。 【详解】19．细节理解题。根据“In Chinese culture, 10 stands for ‘perfection’—it comes from the idea that ‘heaven has 9 layers and earth has 1,’ combining to make 10, a number that symbolizes wholeness.”可知，数字10象征“完美”，源于“天有9层，地有1层，相加为10”的传统观念。故选B。 20．推理判断题。根据“Young people who learn paper-cutting often focus more on the patterns than the hidden numbers, as they rarely hear the old stories behind the counts. Some even simplify the designs—for example, using 8 petals for the lotus instead of 16—to make cutting easier.”可知，年轻人常简化设计（如将16瓣莲花改为8瓣），这虽便于制作，但可能忽略数字背后的文化含义，因此简化设计可能导致隐含的数字智慧失传。故选C。 21．推理判断题。根据“Also, the two ‘xi’ (喜) characters in ‘double happiness’ each have 12 strokes. The total 24 strokes represent ‘24 solar terms’ in a year, a symbol of hope for a life full of good seasons, as the solar terms have guided farming and daily life for thousands of years.”可知，文中通过“24节气”和“五行”等概念，解释了剪纸中数字（如24画、5片鱼鳍）的文化象征意义，旨在说明这些数字并非随意选择，而是承载着深厚的文化价值。故选B。 22．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕中国剪纸中隐藏的数字及其文化含义展开，同时指出这些数字智慧面临传承困难，最后提及手工艺人正通过记录和教学努力保护这一传统。B选项概括了文章主旨。故选B。 Passage4 选词填空 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后用方框中所给的适当形式填空，每个词限用一次。 community  add  feel  we  first  look  chair  festival  symbol  but  although The sweetest memory of my childhood is about a round table.

The most common tradition is to make a New Year’s resolution. Many people choose to focus on (专注于) their health and fitness (健身) when making a New Year’s resolution. Some decide to eat healthier foods, while others are going to exercise more regularly. Some people even decide to stop smoking as part of their resolution.

Keeping it is another challenge. It’s difficult to keep. It needs planning, decisions, and sometimes even professional (专业的) help.

Passage6 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 As visitors from other countries, you may see something special at places like parks and streets when you visit China. They are paintings made of hot, liquid (液体) brown sugar. These paintings are called sugar paintings. They are not only beautiful to look at but also delicious to eat. With their bright colours and fun shapes, they are very popular, especially with kids. A sugar painting is a traditional Chinese art with a history of over 500 years. It started during the Ming dynasty and became even more popular in the Qing dynasty. At first, people used sugar to make small animal shapes for some special activities. Over time, this sugar art puts skills from Chinese shadow puppet (皮影戏) and paper-cutting together to become the sugar painting today. To make a sugar painting, artists use brown or white sugar, a pot, a bronze spoon, a marble slab, a spatula and a wooden stick. First, they melt (融化) the sugar in a pot until it becomes liquid. Then, they use the spoon to draw thin lines with the liquid sugar on the marble. The artist works quickly because the sugar will become hard when it cools. In just a few minutes, they can create a beautiful picture of a bird, fish, dragon, or other shapes. Once the painting is done, the artist uses the spatula to lift it off the marble, adds a wooden stick for holding, and gives it to the buyer. Isn’t this a wonderful traditional art? If you visit China, don’t forget to try a sugar painting! 39．What makes sugar paintings popular? 40．When did people start to make a sugar painting? 41．How many things do artists need to make a sugar painting? 42．Why do artists work quickly when making a sugar painting? 43．Who is this article for? 【答案】 39． Their bright colours and fun shapes. 40．During the Ming dynasty. 41．Six. 42．Because the sugar will become hard when it cools. 43．Visitors from other countries who visit China. 【导语】本文介绍了中国传统艺术糖画，包括其受欢迎的原因、历史起源、制作所需材料与步骤，并建议来中国的外国游客尝试糖画。 【详解】39．根据“With their bright colours and fun shapes, they are very popular, especially with kids”可知糖画有鲜艳的颜色和有趣的形状，这让它们很受欢迎。故填Their bright colours and fun shapes. 40．根据“A sugar painting is a traditional Chinese art with a history of over 500 years. It started during the Ming dynasty”可知糖画始于明朝。故填During the Ming dynasty. 41．根据“To make a sugar painting, artists use brown or white sugar, a pot, a bronze spoon, a marble slab, a spatula and a wooden stick”可知制作糖画需要红糖或白糖、一口锅、一个铜勺、一块大理石板、一把刮刀和一根木棍，共六样东西。故填Six. 42．根据“The artist works quickly because the sugar will become hard when it cools”可知艺术家制作糖画时动作快是因为糖冷却后会变硬。故填Because the sugar will become hard when it cools. 43．根据“As visitors from other countries, you may see something special at places like parks and streets when you visit China”可知这篇文章是写给来中国的外国游客的。故填Visitors from other countries who visit China. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 6 Celebrations 单元阅读精练 模块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 270 介绍传统节日庆祝仪式的意义，阐述传统习俗对文化传承、情感凝聚的重要价值，倡导青少年尊重并传承传统民俗文化。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 260 讲述非遗传统手工艺的发展现状，说明传统技艺在新时代的创新与传承，展现传统文化的生命力与时代魅力。 实战演练 Passage1 完形填空 记叙文 280 记叙作者跟随长辈学习传统节日习俗、了解民俗文化的经历，在亲身实践中感受传统文化的魅力与温度。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 255 介绍春节、端午、中秋等传统节日的核心习俗，分析传统节日在现代生活中的文化价值与精神意义。 Passage3 阅读理解 记叙文 265 讲述一名中学生参与传统文化宣讲活动，向同学和外国友人介绍中国民俗、传播传统文化的暖心故事。 Passage4 选词填空 说明文 220 阐述传统文化传承的重要性，说明青少年是文化传承的主力军，呼吁新时代少年守护传统、弘扬国粹。 Passage5 任务型阅读 说明文 235 分享青少年传承传统文化的实用方式，指导学生在生活中践行、传播传统民俗与传统技艺。 Passage1 Passage1 English 中文翻译 Traditional festivals are the treasure of Chinese culture. They carry the history, emotions and traditions of our nation. Different festivals have unique customs and celebrations, which have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. 传统节日是中华文化的瑰宝，承载着民族的历史、情感与传统。不同的节日有着独特的习俗与庆祝方式，历经千年，代代相传。 Many people think festival customs are just simple activities, but they have deep cultural meanings. For example, people eat mooncakes and admire the full moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, which stands for family reunion and harmony. On the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat zongzi and hold dragon boat races to honor the great ancient poet Qu Yuan. 很多人认为节日习俗只是简单的活动，实则蕴含深厚的文化内涵。例如，中秋节吃月饼、赏圆月，象征阖家团圆、和睦美满；端午节吃粽子、赛龙舟，是为了纪念伟大的古代诗人屈原。 These traditional customs are not only cultural symbols, but also spiritual bonds for Chinese people. No matter where people go, traditional festivals can remind them of their hometown and family, bringing them warmth and a sense of belonging. 这些传统习俗不仅是文化符号，更是中国人的精神纽带。无论人们身在何方，传统节日都能唤起人们对家乡和亲人的思念，给予人们温暖与归属感。 However, with the development of modern life, some traditional festival customs are gradually fading away. Many teenagers prefer foreign festivals and know little about traditional Chinese festivals and their meanings. 然而，随着现代生活的发展，部分传统节日习俗正逐渐淡化。不少青少年偏爱外国节日，对中国传统节日及其内涵知之甚少。 It is our duty as teenagers to protect and inherit traditional festival culture.

That makes them into bags with flowers and animals on these bags. Then they fill bags with wormwood and other herbal medicines. Finally, they hang bands on the top of the bags and fix red, blue and purple silks at the bottom.”可知提到了制作香囊的方法，即c；根据“In order to prevent diseases and keep healthy, the old usually wear plant-shaped sachets, such as lotus flowers and apples.

These numbers aren’t just for counting; they carry cultural meanings and make the artworks balanced and meaningful. Take the “double happiness” (双喜) paper-cutting, a common design for weddings, as an example. The pattern is made of 10 small squares: 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom, and 2 in the middle. Why 10? In Chinese culture, 10 stands for “perfection”—it comes from the idea that “heaven has 9 layers and earth has 1,” combining to make 10, a number that symbolizes wholeness. Also, the two “xi” (喜) characters in “double happiness” each have 12 strokes. The total 24 strokes represent “24 solar terms” in a year, a symbol of hope for a life full of good seasons, as the solar terms have guided farming and daily life for thousands of years. Another classic design is the “lotus with fish” (荷花鱼). The lotus flower in the cut has 16 petals (花瓣). Old paper-cutters say 16 is a “lucky even number”—it’s double 8, and 8 is connected to “prosperity” (wealth) because the Chinese character for 8 looks like it’s opening up, suggesting growth and expansion. The fish next to the lotus has 5 fins: 2 on its back, 2 on its sides, and 1 on its tail. The number 5 here represents the “five elements” (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) in Chinese philosophy. It’s believed that if the five elements are in balance, the family will be healthy and free from misfortune. However, keeping these number rules alive is getting hard. Young people who learn paper-cutting often focus more on the patterns than the hidden numbers, as they rarely hear the old stories behind the counts. Some even simplify the designs—for example, using 8 petals for the lotus instead of 16—to make cutting easier. To protect this tradition, some craftsmen now write down the number secrets in books and teach them in workshops. They don’t just show how to cut the shapes; they explain the connections between numbers and ancient beliefs, hoping that the next generation will not only cut beautiful paper but also carry on the cultural wisdom in the numbers. 19．Why does the number 10 symbolize “perfection” in the “double happiness” paper-cutting? A．It matches the 10 small squares in the pattern’s structure. B．It comes from the ancient idea of “heaven (9) + earth (1) = wholeness.” C．It represents the 10 layers of meaning in wedding traditions. D．It is the total number of strokes of the two “xi” characters. 20．What can we infer about young people’s simplified paper-cut designs? A．They make the designs more popular among foreign audiences. B．They help pass down the cultural meaning of the original numbers. C．They may lead to the loss of the hidden number-related wisdom. D．They show young people’s creativity in improving traditional crafts. 21．The writer mentions the “24 solar terms” and “five elements” in the passage to ________. A．prove that Chinese paper-cutting is older than other traditional arts B．explain why the numbers in paper-cutting have cultural value C．compare different cultural symbols used in wedding and daily designs D．show how paper-cutting patterns guide people’s farming and daily life 22．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Ancient Chinese beliefs about numbers have changed the way paper-cutting is made. B．Chinese paper-cutting’s hidden numbers carry cultural wisdom but face risks of not being passed down. C．The “double happiness” and “lotus with fish” are the most important paper-cutting designs. D．Craftsmen are trying to save traditional paper-cutting by writing down cutting techniques. 【答案】19．B 20．C 21．B 22．B 【导语】本文主要讨论了剪纸图案中数字的文化含义及传承困境。 【详解】19．细节理解题。根据“In Chinese culture, 10 stands for ‘perfection’—it comes from the idea that ‘heaven has 9 layers and earth has 1,’ combining to make 10, a number that symbolizes wholeness.”可知，数字10象征“完美”，源于“天有9层，地有1层，相加为10”的传统观念。故选B。 20．推理判断题。根据“Young people who learn paper-cutting often focus more on the patterns than the hidden numbers, as they rarely hear the old stories behind the counts. Some even simplify the designs—for example, using 8 petals for the lotus instead of 16—to make cutting easier.”可知，年轻人常简化设计（如将16瓣莲花改为8瓣），这虽便于制作，但可能忽略数字背后的文化含义，因此简化设计可能导致隐含的数字智慧失传。故选C。 21．推理判断题。根据“Also, the two ‘xi’ (喜) characters in ‘double happiness’ each have 12 strokes. The total 24 strokes represent ‘24 solar terms’ in a year, a symbol of hope for a life full of good seasons, as the solar terms have guided farming and daily life for thousands of years.”可知，文中通过“24节气”和“五行”等概念，解释了剪纸中数字（如24画、5片鱼鳍）的文化象征意义，旨在说明这些数字并非随意选择，而是承载着深厚的文化价值。故选B。 22．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕中国剪纸中隐藏的数字及其文化含义展开，同时指出这些数字智慧面临传承困难，最后提及手工艺人正通过记录和教学努力保护这一传统。B选项概括了文章主旨。故选B。 Passage4 选词填空 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后用方框中所给的适当形式填空，每个词限用一次。 community  add  feel  we  first  look  chair  festival  symbol  but  although The sweetest memory of my childhood is about a round table.

Passage6 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 As visitors from other countries, you may see something special at places like parks and streets when you visit China. They are paintings made of hot, liquid (液体) brown sugar. These paintings are called sugar paintings. They are not only beautiful to look at but also delicious to eat. With their bright colours and fun shapes, they are very popular, especially with kids. A sugar painting is a traditional Chinese art with a history of over 500 years. It started during the Ming dynasty and became even more popular in the Qing dynasty. At first, people used sugar to make small animal shapes for some special activities. Over time, this sugar art puts skills from Chinese shadow puppet (皮影戏) and paper-cutting together to become the sugar painting today. To make a sugar painting, artists use brown or white sugar, a pot, a bronze spoon, a marble slab, a spatula and a wooden stick. First, they melt (融化) the sugar in a pot until it becomes liquid. Then, they use the spoon to draw thin lines with the liquid sugar on the marble. The artist works quickly because the sugar will become hard when it cools. In just a few minutes, they can create a beautiful picture of a bird, fish, dragon, or other shapes. Once the painting is done, the artist uses the spatula to lift it off the marble, adds a wooden stick for holding, and gives it to the buyer. Isn’t this a wonderful traditional art?
