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 the 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 (石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive (独特的). 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 (合作) 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. 1．Who invented silk in ancient China?

Passage 3 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Teenagers and Traditional Culture Nowadays, more and more teenagers are showing great interest in traditional Chinese culture. A recent survey among 1,000 students in a middle school shows that about 80% of them have taken part in activities about traditional culture, such as making dumplings, learning calligraphy, or visiting museums. One of the reasons is that the government and schools are paying more attention to cultural education. Many schools have set up clubs for students to experience traditional arts. For example, students can learn to play traditional musical instruments like the erhu and guzheng. They can also practice Chinese kung fu or paper cutting after class. Besides school activities, social media also plays an important role. Many teenagers watch short videos about traditional culture on the Internet. These videos, often made by young people, introduce ancient skills in a fun and modern way. As a result, more teenagers begin to understand and love their own culture. However, some experts point out that teenagers should not only watch but also practice. “True cultural confidence comes from deep understanding and personal experience,” said one expert. “We hope more teenagers can really get into the culture, not just for fun.” 1．How many students in the survey have probably joined in traditional culture activities?

People usually play it with a bow. While playing, players sit and hold the erhu on their legs. They move the bow quickly between the two strings to make beautiful music. The erhu can produce all kinds of sounds. It can sound bright and happy for lively folk songs, and it can also sound quiet and sad. One of the most famous erhu pieces is《Erquan Yingyue》. Abing, a great blind folk musician, created this piece many years ago. When people listen to it, many of them feel deeply moved. The music tells about his hard life and his true feelings. Now the erhu is getting popular around the world. Lots of foreign music lovers fall in love with its special soft sound. Some Western musicians even write new music for the erhu.

They usually save half of their earnings and spend the other half on things they love, such as comic books or sports equipment. In Japan, parents focus on teaching children the importance of saving from a young age. Most Japanese teenagers have their own bank accounts and save most of their pocket money for education or travel. In China, more and more teenagers start learning about financial management.

Passage 6 British Manners and Customs British manners are known for being polite but reserved. The British are famous for their “stiff upper lip”—they try to remain calm and not show too much emotion. This is reflected in their greetings. A simple “Hello” or “Good morning” is common, and a handshake is usually short and firm. Hugging or kissing is generally reserved for close friends and family. Another important custom is queuing. The British take queuing very seriously. Jumping the queue is considered extremely rude. People wait patiently in line for buses, at shops, and even in pubs. It is one of the few places where strangers might start a conversation, often about the weather. In Britain, “sorry” is used frequently. If someone bumps into you, both of you might say sorry. This habit is seen as a way to avoid conflict and show politeness. Some visitors find this amusing because the person who is not at fault still apologizes. 1．What is the “stiff upper lip” described as? A．A way of showing emotion.

Passage 7 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is magic to me. My interest in it came from my experience. Years ago, I often had headaches, and my life was seriously influenced. I tried many different methods. However, none of them worked. Luckily, I met with a doctor of TCM during my trip in China. He advised me to take some Chinese medicine. So I did. To my surprise, my pain was gone within a week. Later, I found that TCM could be of great help to some illnesses lasting for a long time, such as sleeping problems or physical pains. The helpful methods in TCM also caught my wife’s interest. With her support, I’m running a website to introduce TCM. I want to help people understand that if they have some health problems, they can try TCM. All these experiences with TCM led me to study ancient Chinese philosophy (哲学) , for many TCM ideas, such as yin and yang, and qi, were directly inspired (启发) by it. Since then, I have stepped onto the road to learning about Chinese culture. 1．What made the writer interested in TCM? __________________________________________________ 2．What was wrong with the writer years ago? ___________________________________________________ 3．How did the TCM doctor help the writer? _________________________________________________ 4．What problems can TCM help with? ________________________________________________ 5．What can we do to spread TCM? ________________________________________________ Passage 8 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The guzheng is one of the most amazing traditional Chinese musical instruments.

Recently, a primary school in Suzhou introduced Tai Chi into its PE classes. The school invited a master to teach the students. At first, the students found it boring compared to running or playing basketball. However, after a few weeks, they began to enjoy it. "Tai Chi helps me calm down when I feel stressed about exams," said Wang Lin, a fifth-grade student. The school noticed that students who practice Tai Chi regularly have better focus in class and fewer conflicts during breaks. It teaches them patience and respect. Moreover, the school organizes Tai Chi performances during festivals. Parents are invited to watch, and sometimes they join in. This activity not only promotes physical health but also strengthens the bond between the school, families, and the community.

Unlike badminton, which uses a racket, jianzi is played using only the feet, knees, chest, or head to keep a weighted shuttlecock in the air. It is simple, fun, and requires no expensive equipment. In recent years, jianzi has entered many schools as part of PE classes. In a primary school in Guangzhou, students have jianzi lessons twice a week. At first, many students found it difficult to control the shuttlecock. However, with practice, they improved quickly. “Jianzi helps me relax after long hours of study,” said Li Ming, a sixth-grade student. “It also improves my balance and concentration.” The school often holds jianzi competitions. During breaks, students gather on the playground to kick jianzi together. This activity not only strengthens their bodies but also helps them build friendships. Teachers notice that students who play jianzi regularly are more active and have better communication skills. Furthermore, jianzi is becoming popular worldwide. There are now international jianzi competitions, attracting players from Europe, Asia, and America. It serves as a cultural bridge, introducing Chinese traditions to the world.

My father believes in keeping traditions alive, while my mother thinks it’s important to adapt to new environments. They agree on one thing though: culture is about love, respect, and family.

It uses leather puppets to create shadows on a screen while telling stories, often with music. In the past, shadow puppetry was very popular in rural China. During festivals or harvest seasons, villagers would gather to watch performances. The stories were often about historical events, folk tales, or legends. It was not just entertainment; it was a way to pass on culture and values. However, with the rise of modern entertainment like television and the Internet, shadow puppetry has faced challenges. Fewer young people are interested in learning this skill, and many master puppeteers are aging. To save this art, the government and artists are taking action. Wang Bianjiang, a 70-year-old master, has opened a training school in Shaanxi. “I want to pass on this skill to the younger generation,” he says. He has trained over 100 students in the past five years. Moreover, modern technology is being used.

Passage 4 Being a Good Host Around the World Being a good host is important in every culture, but the rules can be quite different. In China, hosts often prepare a lot of food and insist that guests eat more. It is polite to put food on guests’ plates to show care. In Japan, hosts are very attentive and make sure guests are comfortable. They often serve tea and snacks. In Middle Eastern cultures, hosts may offer food and drinks multiple times, and it is polite to accept at least a little. In many Western countries, hosts tend to be more casual. They may ask guests what they would like to drink and let guests serve themselves. It is common to have a “potluck” where each guest brings a dish. In some cultures, it is polite to bring a gift like wine or flowers. In others, it is not expected but appreciated. The most important thing is to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Understanding these differences can help us avoid embarrassing situations. When you are invited to someone’s home, it’s a good idea to ask about local customs if you are unsure. A good guest is always respectful and appreciative. 1．In China, what do hosts often do to show care for guests? A．Ask guests to bring their own food. B．Put food on guests’ plates. C．Serve themselves. D．Only offer tea. 2．In Middle Eastern cultures, what is polite to do when food is offered? A．Refuse everything. B．Accept at least a little. C．Only accept drinks.

D．A party with only desserts. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Hosting is the same in all cultures. B．Different cultures have different host customs. C．Guests should always bring gifts. D．Western hosts are better than Eastern hosts. 5．What advice does the writer give to guests? A．Always bring a gift. B．Ask about local customs if unsure. C．Never refuse food. D．Only visit Western homes. Many people believe that eating well and exercising are the only keys to health. However, cultural practices around the world show that health is about more than just diet and physical activity. In some Mediterranean countries, the tradition of having a “siesta” or midday nap is common. This short rest is believed to improve memory, reduce stress, and boost productivity later in the day. In Scandinavian countries, the concept of “friluftsliv” (open-air life) encourages people to spend time outdoors regardless of the weather. This connection with nature is considered essential for mental well-being. In many South American communities, social gatherings and dancing are part of daily life. These activities not only provide physical exercise but also strengthen social bonds, which are important for emotional health. The lesson from these diverse practices is clear: health is not just about what we eat or how we exercise, but also about how we rest, connect with nature, and relate to others. A truly healthy lifestyle integrates all these aspects. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．The importance of diet and exercise only. B．Cultural practices that contribute to health beyond diet and exercise. C．Why Mediterranean countries have the best health. D．How to take a proper nap. 2．What is a “siesta” in Mediterranean countries? A．A type of food. B．A midday nap. C．A traditional dance. D．A form of exercise. 3．What does “friluftsliv” encourage people to do? A．Eat more vegetables. B．Spend time outdoors regardless of weather. C．Avoid social gatherings. D．Sleep during the day. 4．What is the role of social gatherings in South American communities according to the passage? A．They are a waste of time. B．They only provide physical exercise. C．They strengthen social bonds and emotional health. D．They are not common. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．Health is only about diet and exercise. B．Different cultures have different valuable health practices. C．Mediterranean people are healthier than others. D．Social bonds are not important for health. Passage 6 阅读短文，回答后面的问题。 Cultural Differences in Gift-Giving Gift-giving is an important part of many cultures, but the customs can be very different. In China, gifts are often given during festivals, birthdays, and special occasions. When receiving a gift, it is polite to refuse it once or twice before accepting it. This shows modesty. It is also important to present gifts with both hands as a sign of respect. In China, certain gifts should be avoided, such as clocks, because they symbolize death. In Western countries, gifts are also given on special occasions. However, people usually open gifts immediately in front of the giver and express thanks. It is not common to refuse a gift. Wrapping paper is often colorful and festive. In some Western cultures, gifts like flowers, wine, or books are popular choices. Understanding these differences can help us avoid awkward situations. When in doubt, it’s always best to ask about local customs. 1．In China, how should you present a gift? ________________________________________________ 2．Why should clocks be avoided as gifts in China? _________________________________________________ 3．In Western countries, what do people usually do when they receive a gift? ____________________________________________ 4．What are some popular gift choices in Western cultures mentioned in the passage? ______________________________________________ 5．What is the author’s advice for dealing with different gift-giving customs? _______________________________________________________ Passage 7 Though China’s national football team misses the 2026 World Cup, China’s intangible cultural heritage shines brightly on this global sports stage. It is the first time that Chinese traditional handcrafts have been widely included in the World Cup’s official licensed goods (官方授权产品). Many kinds of heritage works mix old skills with modern football spirit perfectly. Zhuang brocade from Guangxi, one of China’s four famous brocades, is made into footballs, jerseys and dolls. Its mascot doll carries a football, standing for good wishes. Other works cover Yi embroidery (彝绣), hemp weaving (麻编), boxwood carving (黄杨木雕), lacquerware (螺钿漆器), fahua porcelain (珐华瓷), Huzhou writing brushes (湖笔)  and paper-cutting. Each craft has a long history and special traditional patterns, designed into useful and popular World Cup gifts. This overseas spread of heritage shows China’s culture and business wisdom. First, the World Cup offers a worldwide platform for old crafts to meet foreign buyers at low cost. Second, creative design turns old craftworks into useful, collectible trendy goods.

They are the brush, inkstick, paper, and inkstone. Each has a long history and unique features. The brush, usually made of bamboo and animal hair, is the most important tool. It can produce strokes of various thicknesses and styles. The inkstick is made of soot and glue. To make liquid ink, calligraphers grind the inkstick with water on the inkstone. This grinding process is slow and requires patience, but it produces high-quality ink. The paper used in calligraphy is often xuanzhi, which comes from Xuancheng in Anhui. It is soft, durable, and absorbent, making it ideal for ink. Xuanzhi can preserve the ink’s colour and texture for hundreds of years. These four tools are not just tools; they are part of the artistic experience. Calligraphers believe that using high-quality tools helps them express their emotions more freely. Today, even with modern technology, many artists still prefer these traditional tools. 1．What are the “Four Treasures of the Study”? ______________________________________________________ 87．What is the inkstick made of? ______________________________________________________ 88．How do calligraphers make liquid ink? _____________________________________________________ 89．Why is xuanzhi paper ideal for calligraphy? _________________________________________________ 90．Why do many artists still prefer traditional tools today? ___________________________________________________ ( 1 / 13 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Culture shapes us 阅读理解&阅读问答题型专练（话题：人与社会——艺术） 热点题型概览 核心模块 阅读理解（选择题） 阅读问答（任务型阅读・简答题） 题型解读 1. 中考标准设置：一篇短文配 4–5 道单项选择题；体裁以说明文、建议类记叙文为主； 2. 核心题型：细节查找、词义猜测、推理判断、主旨大意、作者观点态度； 3. 文本围绕“人与社会 — 艺术文化”主题命题，素材包含中外传统节日、非遗艺术、乐器、民俗礼仪、文化交流、青少年文化认知等。 1. 中考主流题型：一篇短文配 5 道简答题，分简答与完整句作答两类，常设置词数限制； 2. 考查信息筛选、语言转述、概括表达能力；常出现 why /what/how 类特殊疑问句； 3. 素材以中外民俗、传统技艺、文化习俗、跨文化交际短文为主。 解题技巧 1. 先读题干划关键词，带着问题回原文定位； 2.细节题忠于原文，杜绝主观臆断； 3.利用上下文线索猜测文化类生词（非遗、乐器、风俗名词、动词短语）； 4.区分事实信息与推理结论，警惕绝对化选项； 5. 首尾段、段落首句辅助概括主旨； 6. 最后回读核对选项与题干逻辑匹配度。 1. 定位题干关键词，锁定原文答案区域；2. 按需精简答案，严格遵守词数限制，避免摘抄整段； 3. 注意时态、人称转换，问答时态保持一致； 4. why 类题目优先捕捉 because 引导的原因；how 类抓取方式类动词； 5. 概括类题目不能只摘抄零散细节； 6. 写完检查语法、大小写、标点规范。 命题预测 - 单元话题 中外传统节日习俗；非遗传统艺术（皮影、太极、毽子、古筝、二胡）；丝绸之路文化交流；各国礼仪待客风俗；中医药文化；青少年接触传统文化现象；家庭多元文化。 传统技艺的现状与传承；不同国家的风俗差异；文化交流互鉴；青少年对待传统文化的态度；传统艺术的价值与保护。 命题预测 - 核心考点 高频考点：同义句转换、代词指代辨析、形容词 / 副词词义辨析；条件 / 让步状语从句理解；长难句拆分；概括段落主旨；区分事实与观点。 高频考点：信息提炼与同义改写；特殊疑问词对应回答规范；非谓语动词、固定搭配运用；段落信息归纳；细节综合概括；时态一致性。 题型夯基提升 巩固基础·专项突破 Passage 1 On New Year’s Eve (跨年), people in Italy (意大利) throw (扔) old things out of their houses.

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 the 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 (石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive (独特的). 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 (合作) 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. 1．Who invented silk in ancient China?

A recent survey among 1,000 students in a middle school shows that about 80% of them have taken part in activities about traditional culture, such as making dumplings, learning calligraphy, or visiting museums. One of the reasons is that the government and schools are paying more attention to cultural education. Many schools have set up clubs for students to experience traditional arts. For example, students can learn to play traditional musical instruments like the erhu and guzheng. They can also practice Chinese kung fu or paper cutting after class. Besides school activities, social media also plays an important role. Many teenagers watch short videos about traditional culture on the Internet. These videos, often made by young people, introduce ancient skills in a fun and modern way. As a result, more teenagers begin to understand and love their own culture. However, some experts point out that teenagers should not only watch but also practice. “True cultural confidence comes from deep understanding and personal experience,” said one expert. “We hope more teenagers can really get into the culture, not just for fun.” 1．How many students in the survey have probably joined in traditional culture activities? A．About 80. B．About 200. C．About 800. D．About 1,000. 2．What can students do in the school clubs according to Paragraph 2? A．They can learn to make short videos. B．They can learn traditional musical instruments. C．They can visit foreign countries. D．They can learn modern dancing. 3．What does the underlined word “These” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Schools. B．Short videos about traditional culture. C．Teenagers. D．Ancient skills. 4．What is the expert’s suggestion for teenagers? A．They should make more short videos. B．They should only watch traditional culture programs. C．They should practice and understand the culture deeply. D．They should set up more clubs in schools. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Teenagers’ Hobbies in the Internet Age B．The Importance of School Clubs C．How to Make Short Videos D．Teenagers’ Growing Interest in Traditional Culture 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文介绍如今越来越多青少年对中华传统文化产生兴趣，分析现象形成的两大原因，并引用专家观点提出相关建议。 【详解】1．根据文章第一段“A recent survey among 1,000 students in a middle school shows that about 80% of them have taken part in activities about traditional culture”可知，总人数1000人，80%参与活动，计算得出大约800人。 2．根据文章第二段“For example, students can learn to play traditional musical instruments like the erhu and guzheng.”可知，校园俱乐部开设的体验项目，学生能够学习二胡、古筝等传统乐器。 3．根据文章第三段“Many teenagers watch short videos about traditional culture on the Internet. These videos, often made by young people, introduce ancient skills in a fun and modern way.”可知，前一句提到青少年在网上观看传统文化短视频，后一句的“These videos”承接上文，因此代词“These”指代和传统文化有关的短视频。 4．根据文章第四段“However, some experts point out that teenagers should not only watch but also practice. ‘True cultural confidence comes from deep understanding and personal experience,’ said one expert.”可知，专家认为青少年不能仅仅观看相关内容，更要动手实践，依靠亲身经历深入理解传统文化。 5．文章开篇点明当下青少年热衷传统文化，中间分析学校、网络带来的影响，结尾给出专家建议，全文围绕青少年对传统文化兴趣不断提升这一核心展开。D项适合作标题。 Passage 4 The erhu is one of the most well‑known traditional Chinese musical instruments.

A simple “Hello” or “Good morning” is common, and a handshake is usually short and firm. Hugging or kissing is generally reserved for close friends and family. Another important custom is queuing. The British take queuing very seriously. Jumping the queue is considered extremely rude. People wait patiently in line for buses, at shops, and even in pubs. It is one of the few places where strangers might start a conversation, often about the weather. In Britain, “sorry” is used frequently. If someone bumps into you, both of you might say sorry. This habit is seen as a way to avoid conflict and show politeness. Some visitors find this amusing because the person who is not at fault still apologizes. 1．What is the “stiff upper lip” described as? A．A way of showing emotion.

Unlike badminton, which uses a racket, jianzi is played using only the feet, knees, chest, or head to keep a weighted shuttlecock in the air. It is simple, fun, and requires no expensive equipment. In recent years, jianzi has entered many schools as part of PE classes. In a primary school in Guangzhou, students have jianzi lessons twice a week. At first, many students found it difficult to control the shuttlecock.

It uses leather puppets to create shadows on a screen while telling stories, often with music. In the past, shadow puppetry was very popular in rural China. During festivals or harvest seasons, villagers would gather to watch performances. The stories were often about historical events, folk tales, or legends. It was not just entertainment; it was a way to pass on culture and values. However, with the rise of modern entertainment like television and the Internet, shadow puppetry has faced challenges. Fewer young people are interested in learning this skill, and many master puppeteers are aging. To save this art, the government and artists are taking action. Wang Bianjiang, a 70-year-old master, has opened a training school in Shaanxi. “I want to pass on this skill to the younger generation,” he says. He has trained over 100 students in the past five years. Moreover, modern technology is being used. Some artists create digital shadow puppets and share short videos online, attracting millions of views. Shadow puppetry is more than just a show; it is a living history book. By protecting it, we are protecting our cultural roots. 1． How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By giving a definition. C．By asking a question. D．By showing a picture. 2． What does the underlined word “master” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．A person who is skilled at something. B．A person who teaches in a school. C．A person who owns a company. D．A person who watches a show. 3． What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The history of shadow puppetry. B．The challenges shadow puppetry faces. C．The efforts to protect shadow puppetry. D．The influence of modern technology. 4． According to the text, why was shadow puppetry important in the past? A．It helped people make money. B．It was a way to pass on culture. C．It improved villagers’ skills. D．It replaced television and the Internet. 5． What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To introduce the history of Shaanxi. B．To encourage people to learn puppetry. C．To call on people to protect cultural heritage. D．To compare traditional and modern entertainment. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍皮影戏这一非物质文化遗产，讲述它过往的流行价值、当下遭遇的传承困境，以及政府与艺人采取的保护举措，呼吁大家守护这类文化遗产、守住文化根脉。 【详解】1．根据原文第一段“Shadow puppetry (皮影戏), an ancient form of storytelling, has been listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. It uses leather puppets to create shadows on a screen while telling stories, often with music.”，开篇先对皮影戏的概念、形式进行界定说明，也就是下定义的方式开篇。 2．根据原文第三段“Fewer young people are interested in learning this skill, and many master puppeteers are aging.”，master此处修饰皮影戏表演者，指代精通皮影技艺的老手艺人，对应“擅长某件事的人”。 3．原文第四段讲述非遗传承人办学收徒、运用数字化技术线上传播皮影戏，这些都是保护皮影戏的各类举措。 4．根据原文第二段“It was not just entertainment; it was a way to pass on culture and values.”，过去皮影戏的重要意义在于传承文化与价值观。 5．文章结尾点明“By protecting it, we are protecting our cultural roots.”，作者借皮影戏的案例，呼吁大众保护非物质文化遗产。 Passage 4 Being a Good Host Around the World Being a good host is important in every culture, but the rules can be quite different. In China, hosts often prepare a lot of food and insist that guests eat more. It is polite to put food on guests’ plates to show care. In Japan, hosts are very attentive and make sure guests are comfortable. They often serve tea and snacks. In Middle Eastern cultures, hosts may offer food and drinks multiple times, and it is polite to accept at least a little. In many Western countries, hosts tend to be more casual. They may ask guests what they would like to drink and let guests serve themselves. It is common to have a “potluck” where each guest brings a dish. In some cultures, it is polite to bring a gift like wine or flowers. In others, it is not expected but appreciated. The most important thing is to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Understanding these differences can help us avoid embarrassing situations. When you are invited to someone’s home, it’s a good idea to ask about local customs if you are unsure. A good guest is always respectful and appreciative. 1．In China, what do hosts often do to show care for guests? A．Ask guests to bring their own food. B．Put food on guests’ plates. C．Serve themselves. D．Only offer tea. 2．In Middle Eastern cultures, what is polite to do when food is offered? A．Refuse everything. B．Accept at least a little. C．Only accept drinks. D．Leave immediately. 3．What is a “potluck” in Western countries? A．A type of restaurant. B．A dish that is cooked together. C．A meal where each guest brings a dish. D．A party with only desserts. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Hosting is the same in all cultures. B．Different cultures have different host customs. C．Guests should always bring gifts. D．Western hosts are better than Eastern hosts. 5．What advice does the writer give to guests? A．Always bring a gift. B．Ask about local customs if unsure. C．Never refuse food. D．Only visit Western homes. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了不同国家和文化中待客之道的差异，包括中国、日本、中东以及西方国家的不同习俗，并给出了一些给客人的建议。 【详解】1．第一段提到“In China, hosts often prepare a lot of food and insist that guests eat more. It is polite to put food on guests‘ plates to show care.”，因此中国主人通常把食物放在客人盘子里以表示关心。 2．第一段提到“In Middle Eastern cultures, hosts may offer food and drinks multiple times, and it is polite to accept at least a little.”，因此在中东文化中，礼貌的做法是至少接受一点食物。 3．第二段提到“It is common to have a ‘potluck’ where each guest brings a dish.”，明确了potluck是每位客人都带一道菜的聚餐形式，因此“potluck”是指每位客人带一道菜来的聚餐。 4．全文围绕不同文化中待客之道的差异展开，“不同文化有不同的待客习俗”最能概括文章主旨。 5．最后一段提到“When you are invited to someone’s home, it’s a good idea to ask about local customs if you are unsure.”，因此作者给客人的建议是如果不确定就询问当地习俗。 Passage 5 Many people believe that eating well and exercising are the only keys to health. However, cultural practices around the world show that health is about more than just diet and physical activity. In some Mediterranean countries, the tradition of having a “siesta” or midday nap is common. This short rest is believed to improve memory, reduce stress, and boost productivity later in the day. In Scandinavian countries, the concept of “friluftsliv” (open-air life) encourages people to spend time outdoors regardless of the weather. This connection with nature is considered essential for mental well-being. In many South American communities, social gatherings and dancing are part of daily life. These activities not only provide physical exercise but also strengthen social bonds, which are important for emotional health. The lesson from these diverse practices is clear: health is not just about what we eat or how we exercise, but also about how we rest, connect with nature, and relate to others. A truly healthy lifestyle integrates all these aspects. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．The importance of diet and exercise only. B．Cultural practices that contribute to health beyond diet and exercise. C．Why Mediterranean countries have the best health. D．How to take a proper nap. 2．What is a “siesta” in Mediterranean countries? A．A type of food. B．A midday nap. C．A traditional dance. D．A form of exercise. 3．What does “friluftsliv” encourage people to do? A．Eat more vegetables. B．Spend time outdoors regardless of weather. C．Avoid social gatherings. D．Sleep during the day. 4．What is the role of social gatherings in South American communities according to the passage? A．They are a waste of time. B．They only provide physical exercise. C．They strengthen social bonds and emotional health. D．They are not common. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．Health is only about diet and exercise. B．Different cultures have different valuable health practices. C．Mediterranean people are healthier than others. D．Social bonds are not important for health. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“健康的多元内涵”展开，指出健康不仅仅是合理饮食和锻炼，还涉及休息、与自然相处、社交联系等文化实践。文章通过地中海地区的午睡传统、北欧的户外生活方式、南美的社交舞蹈等例子，说明不同文化中的健康实践各有价值。 【详解】1．全文通过多个文化实例说明健康不仅是饮食和锻炼，还涵盖休息、亲近自然和社交联系等，因此主旨是“超越饮食和锻炼的健康文化实践”。 2．第一段“In some Mediterranean countries, the tradition of having a ‘siesta’ or midday nap is common.”，明确说明siesta是午间小睡。 3．第一段“In Scandinavian countries, the concept of ‘friluftsliv’ ... encourages people to spend time outdoors regardless of the weather.”，明确说明friluftsliv鼓励人们无论天气如何都要花时间在户外。 4．第二段“social gatherings and dancing ... not only provide physical exercise but also strengthen social bonds, which are important for emotional health.”，明确说明社交聚会能加强社会联系和情感健康。 5．全文列举了不同国家的健康实践（午睡、户外活动、社交舞蹈），说明不同文化有各自有价值的健康实践。 Passage 6 阅读短文，回答后面的问题。 Cultural Differences in Gift-Giving Gift-giving is an important part of many cultures, but the customs can be very different. In China, gifts are often given during festivals, birthdays, and special occasions. When receiving a gift, it is polite to refuse it once or twice before accepting it. This shows modesty. It is also important to present gifts with both hands as a sign of respect. In China, certain gifts should be avoided, such as clocks, because they symbolize death. In Western countries, gifts are also given on special occasions. However, people usually open gifts immediately in front of the giver and express thanks. It is not common to refuse a gift. Wrapping paper is often colorful and festive. In some Western cultures, gifts like flowers, wine, or books are popular choices. Understanding these differences can help us avoid awkward situations. When in doubt, it’s always best to ask about local customs. 1．In China, how should you present a gift? ________________________________________________ 2．Why should clocks be avoided as gifts in China? _________________________________________________ 3．In Western countries, what do people usually do when they receive a gift? ____________________________________________ 4．What are some popular gift choices in Western cultures mentioned in the passage? ______________________________________________ 5．What is the author’s advice for dealing with different gift-giving customs? _______________________________________________________ 【答案】1．You should present gifts with both hands. 2．Because clocks symbolize death in Chinese culture. 3．They usually open gifts immediately in front of the giver and express thanks. 4．Flowers, wine, or books. 5．When in doubt, it’s always best to ask about local customs. 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国和西方国家在送礼习俗上的文化差异，包括礼物呈现方式、接受礼物的态度、特定礼物的禁忌以及打开礼物的时间，并建议在有疑问时主动询问当地习俗以避免尴尬。 【详解】1．第一段倒数第二句明确说明在中国送礼物的呈现方式：“It is also important to present gifts with both hands as a sign of respect.”，答案是原文直接信息，直接提取即可。 2．第一段最后一句明确说明在中国应避免送钟的原因：“...such as clocks, because they symbolize death.”，答案是原文直接信息，直接提取即可。 3．第二段第二句明确说明西方国家的人收到礼物时的通常做法：“...people usually open gifts immediately in front of the giver and express thanks.”，答案是原文直接信息，直接提取即可。 4．第二段最后一句明确说明西方文化中常见的礼物选择：“...gifts like flowers, wine, or books are popular choices.”，答案是原文直接信息，直接提取即可。 5．最后一段明确说明作者的建议：“When in doubt, it’s always best to ask about local customs.”，答案是原文直接信息，直接提取即可。 Passage 7 Though China’s national football team misses the 2026 World Cup, China’s intangible cultural heritage shines brightly on this global sports stage. It is the first time that Chinese traditional handcrafts have been widely included in the World Cup’s official licensed goods (官方授权产品).

They are the brush, inkstick, paper, and inkstone. Each has a long history and unique features. The brush, usually made of bamboo and animal hair, is the most important tool. It can produce strokes of various thicknesses and styles. The inkstick is made of soot and glue. To make liquid ink, calligraphers grind the inkstick with water on the inkstone. This grinding process is slow and requires patience, but it produces high-quality ink. The paper used in calligraphy is often xuanzhi, which comes from Xuancheng in Anhui. It is soft, durable, and absorbent, making it ideal for ink. Xuanzhi can preserve the ink’s colour and texture for hundreds of years. These four tools are not just tools; they are part of the artistic experience. Calligraphers believe that using high-quality tools helps them express their emotions more freely. Today, even with modern technology, many artists still prefer these traditional tools. 1．What are the “Four Treasures of the Study”? ______________________________________________________ 87．What is the inkstick made of? ______________________________________________________ 88．How do calligraphers make liquid ink? _____________________________________________________ 89．Why is xuanzhi paper ideal for calligraphy? _________________________________________________ 90．Why do many artists still prefer traditional tools today? ___________________________________________________ 【答案】1．The brush, inkstick, paper, and inkstone. 2．Soot and glue. 3．They grind the inkstick with water on the inkstone. 4．Because it is soft, durable, and absorbent. 5．Because they believe high-quality tools help express emotions more freely. 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统书画工具“文房四宝”的构成、材料及使用方式，并解释了它们在现代仍受青睐的原因。 【详解】1．根据第一段第二句“They are the brush, inkstick, paper, and inkstone.”可知，文房四宝是笔、墨、纸、砚。 2．根据第二段第三句“The inkstick is made of soot and glue.”可知，墨条由烟灰和胶制成。 3．根据第二段第四句“To make liquid ink, calligraphers grind the inkstick with water on the inkstone.”可知，书法家将墨条在砚台上加水研磨。 4．根据第三段第二句“It is soft, durable, and absorbent, making it ideal for ink.”可知，宣纸柔软、耐用且吸墨性强，因此适合书法创作。 5．根据最后一段第二句“Calligraphers believe that using high-quality tools helps them express their emotions more freely.”可知，他们相信高质量的工具能帮助更自由地表达情感。 ( 1 / 13 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Culture shapes us 阅读理解&阅读问答题型专练（话题：人与社会——艺术） 题型夯基提升 巩固基础·专项突破 Passage 1 1．D 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C Passage 2 1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．C Passage 3 1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．D Passage 4 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D Passage 5 1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．D Passage 6 1．B 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．B Passage 7 1．His experience. 2．He often had headaches. 3．He advised the writer to take some Chinese medicine. 4．Some long-lasting illnesses. 5．We can introduce it to people around us.
