It is often called the universal language of the world. A piece of soft music can comfort tired hearts, while passionate music can inspire people to move forward. Music has the magic to change people’s moods and bring positive energy to daily life. Many people believe that musical talent is innate, but practice plays a more important role. Learning a musical instrument is always challenging. It requires repeated practice, careful observation and strong finger strength. Excellent musicians never stop practicing. They create new works based on their life experience and bring endless beauty to the world. Music also helps people recall precious memories. A familiar melody can easily bring back past stories and warm moments. It connects people’s emotions and shortens the distance between strangers. As an important part of human culture, music will always accompany human development and bring endless spiritual power. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 29．Why is music called a universal language? A．It is easy to learn. B．It needs no words and touches all people. C．It only has soft styles. D．It can change people’s habits. 30．What does learning a musical instrument need most?

Most people usually pay little attention to Chou. However, it is a very important part in traditional Chinese operas. The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly. In the past, the Chou performer was the first one to get dressed and have his make-up done. Usually there are two kinds of Chou on the stage, Wen Chou and Wu Chou. Wen Chou often has a white patch (小块) painted around his nose and takes the roles of fisherman, boatman, servant and so on. The other kind is Wu Chou. Wu Chou performers often wear tight clothing (紧身衣) and move quickly. They are good at martial arts (武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in loud voices and play humorous roles, for example, kind thieves. Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language, instead of singing skills. Whether they look ugly or beautiful, whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage, Chou roles are all humorous characters in funny faces. They use the roles of Chou to bring out the good qualities in people. Maybe it is the charm (魅力) of traditional Chinese operas. Next time, when you are enjoying a traditional Chinese opera, you can probably understand the different beauty behind it. 33．The role of Chou is important in traditional Chinese operas because ________. A．most people usually pay much attention to it B．it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly C．the Chou performer was the first to get dressed D．it is funny and makes people laugh and feel happy 34．Which picture is the role of Chou in traditional Chinese operas?

A．dancing skills and spoken parts B．spoken parts and body language C．painting skills and spoken parts D．singing skills and body language 36．What can be the best title of the passage? A．Roles in Chinese Operas B．Chou in Chinese Operas C．Stories about Chinese Operas D．History of Chinese Operas 【答案】33．B 34．C 35．B 36．B 【导语】本文主要介绍中国传统戏曲里的丑角，阐述丑角在戏曲中的重要地位、文丑与武丑两类丑角的外形特点和表演风格，以及丑角依靠念白、肢体语言逗乐观众、彰显人性美好品质的独特魅力。 【详解】33．第一段“The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly”，直接说明丑角在中国传统戏曲里十分重要的原因是它完美融合了美与丑。 34．第二段介绍文丑特征：“Wen Chou often has a white patch painted around his nose”，丑角独有的标志是鼻子周围画白色小块，对应图片C。 35．第三段写明表演方式：“Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language”，表明丑角通常依靠念白和肢体语言逗观众发笑。 36．全文围绕丑角展开，从丑角的重要性、分类、表演特色与独特魅力逐层介绍，全文核心叙述对象是戏曲丑角，因此最佳标题为Chou in Chinese Operas。 D What do you think of being 80 years old? For Cai Gao, it is still the perfect age to explore new possibilities! On April 13, Cai became the first Chinese picture book artist to receive the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest international children’s book award. The night she received the news, Cai’s thoughts were not on the prize or herself, but on the people and the land that shaped her. Born in 1946 in Changsha, Cai was deeply influenced by the folk stories her grandmother shared with her. They became her earliest inspiration to draw. “She loved life, and made our daily life feel like a celebration,” Cai says. “Thanks to my grandmother. Art is not such a big deal for me because it is never far from life,” she says. To many people’s surprise, Cai never had the opportunity to attend art school and didn’t start drawing picture books until her 30s. However, Cai considers her childhood experiences—playing in the yard, listening to her grandmother’s nursery rhymes, and watching theater plays—as the “best education”. “I’m lucky to have had all of that,” she says. In her 20s, Cai first worked as a teacher in a village school. Although there are many challenges, she still found beauty in her life and never gave up her passion for art. At the age of 36, Cai finally became an art editor (编辑) for children’s books. Now, in her books, you can still sense the beauty, just like the world in the eyes of kids. “I never aim too high. I just let everything happen step by step naturally,” Cai once said in a speech. There’s no need to rush. As long as you keep loving what you do, your dream will bloom in its own time—even at 80. 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 37．What first inspired Cai Gao to start drawing? A．The theater plays she watched in her 20s. B．The art books she read at school. C．The folk stories told by her grandmother. D．The children she taught in a village school. 38．What is the right order of the following events? ①Cai worked as an art editor for children’s books. ②Cai’s grandmother told folk stories and nursery rhymes to her. ③Cai received the Hans Christian Andersen Award. ④Cai became a teacher in a village school. A．④→②→③→① B．①→③→②→④ C．③→②→④→① D．②→④→①→③ 39．What does the “best education” mean? A．Going to a top art school is not important at all. B．The life she lived as a child teaches her a lot about art. C．She regrets not getting a better education when she was young. D．Only children can truly understand what art really is. 40．Which words can best describe Cai Gao according to the passage? A．Passionate and thankful. B．Proud and impatient. C．Cold and careless. D．Talented but uninterested. 【答案】37．C 38．D 39．B 40．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国绘本艺术家蔡皋的人生经历与创作理念，并展现了她在80岁获得国际安徒生奖的故事。 【详解】37．根据原文第三段“Born in 1946 in Changsha, Cai was deeply influenced by the folk stories her grandmother shared with her. They became her earliest inspiration to draw.”可知，蔡皋最早的绘画灵感来自奶奶讲的民间故事，对应选项C。 38．按时间顺序梳理：②：童年时期，奶奶给她讲民间故事和童谣（最早）；④：20多岁时，她在乡村学校当老师；①：36岁时，她成为儿童图书的美术编辑；③：80岁时，她获得安徒生文学奖（最晚）。因此正确顺序是：②→④→①→③，对应选项D。 39．根据原文第四段“However, Cai considers her childhood experiences—playing in the yard, listening to her grandmother’s nursery rhymes, and watching theater plays—as the ‘best education’.”可知，蔡皋认为童年的生活经历（玩耍、听童谣、看戏）就是最好的教育，这些经历教会了她很多关于艺术的东西，对应选项B。 40．passionate（热爱的）：文中提到她从未放弃对艺术的热情，坚持创作直到80岁，说明她对艺术充满热爱；thankful（感恩的）：获奖当晚，她首先想到的是塑造她的人和土地，还多次提到感谢奶奶，说明她心怀感恩。因此，最能描述她的词是passionate and thankful，对应选项A。 E 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。 International Chinese Language Day 2026 was celebrated on April 20.

She said that Chinese martial arts dramas first made her want to learn about China. For her, Chinese poems have a special magic. “ 43 It leaves room for you to think and feel yourself,” she explained. “So when you read a poem, you are not just reading words—you enter the scene and the feeling.” Even with new technology, learning Chinese is changing. Xu Kun talked about how AI and digital tools can help. “ 44 ” he said. “We are building an online teaching platform (平台). It will bring Chinese learning to every corner of the world.” 45 From Xi’an to Beijing, from Costa Rica to Gibraltar, young people everywhere are finding that learning Chinese is not just about grammar.

In the early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it  was called the “Tang  Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were introduced to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting paper and painting patterns (图案). It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to introduce the art. 56．How many Asian countries were Chinese oil  paper umbrellas introduced to? 57．Which place in China is known for making oil paper umbrellas? 58．How long does it take to make an oil paper umbrella? 59．Why did Liu Weixue learn this traditional art? 60．What do you think of Liu Weixue? 【答案】56．Five./5. 57．Yuhang (in Hangzhou). 58．At least a week. 59．Because he wanted to bring the art to life. 60．I think he is creative. 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统手工艺品——油纸伞的历史、制作工艺以及传承人刘伟学对这门传统技艺的创新与推广。 【详解】56．第一段指出油纸伞先传入日本和韩国（2个），后又传入越南、泰国和老挝（3个），共5个亚洲国家，因此答案是Five/5。 57．第二段开头明确指出“Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years”，因此答案是Yuhang (in Hangzhou)，这是原文直接信息。 58．第二段末尾指出“It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella”，答案即原文原句提取。 59．第三段提到刘伟学从祖父处学到这门手艺，并说“I want to bring the art to life”，这就是他学习这门传统艺术的原因，属于原文直接引语。 60．开放题，答案不唯一。结合文中刘伟学改进伞面用纸、减轻伞重、走进学校和各地活动推广等行为，可评价他有创意、有传承精神、有责任感等，言之有理即可。 七、书面表达（15分） 61．假定你是李华，你市下月将接待美国中学生交流团，并举办“中国传统艺术节”(Chinese Traditional Art Festival)。该活动现招募英语出色的志愿者，你希望成为其中的一员。请你结合提示内容，给活动外事负责人张先生写一封英文自荐信。词数80左右。 What kind of person you are:☆ friendly ☆ ...

A piece of soft music can comfort tired hearts, while passionate music can inspire people to move forward. Music has the magic to change people’s moods and bring positive energy to daily life.

They create new works based on their life experience and bring endless beauty to the world. Music also helps people recall precious memories.

Most people usually pay little attention to Chou. However, it is a very important part in traditional Chinese operas. The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly. In the past, the Chou performer was the first one to get dressed and have his make-up done. Usually there are two kinds of Chou on the stage, Wen Chou and Wu Chou. Wen Chou often has a white patch (小块) painted around his nose and takes the roles of fisherman, boatman, servant and so on. The other kind is Wu Chou. Wu Chou performers often wear tight clothing (紧身衣) and move quickly. They are good at martial arts (武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in loud voices and play humorous roles, for example, kind thieves. Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language, instead of singing skills. Whether they look ugly or beautiful, whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage, Chou roles are all humorous characters in funny faces. They use the roles of Chou to bring out the good qualities in people. Maybe it is the charm (魅力) of traditional Chinese operas. Next time, when you are enjoying a traditional Chinese opera, you can probably understand the different beauty behind it. 33．The role of Chou is important in traditional Chinese operas because ________.

For Cai Gao, it is still the perfect age to explore new possibilities! On April 13, Cai became the first Chinese picture book artist to receive the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest international children’s book award. The night she received the news, Cai’s thoughts were not on the prize or herself, but on the people and the land that shaped her. Born in 1946 in Changsha, Cai was deeply influenced by the folk stories her grandmother shared with her. They became her earliest inspiration to draw. “She loved life, and made our daily life feel like a celebration,” Cai says. “Thanks to my grandmother. Art is not such a big deal for me because it is never far from life,” she says. To many people’s surprise, Cai never had the opportunity to attend art school and didn’t start drawing picture books until her 30s. However, Cai considers her childhood experiences—playing in the yard, listening to her grandmother’s nursery rhymes, and watching theater plays—as the “best education”. “I’m lucky to have had all of that,” she says. In her 20s, Cai first worked as a teacher in a village school. Although there are many challenges, she still found beauty in her life and never gave up her passion for art. At the age of 36, Cai finally became an art editor (编辑) for children’s books. Now, in her books, you can still sense the beauty, just like the world in the eyes of kids. “I never aim too high. I just let everything happen step by step naturally,” Cai once said in a speech. There’s no need to rush. As long as you keep loving what you do, your dream will bloom in its own time—even at 80. 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 37．What first inspired Cai Gao to start drawing?

She said that Chinese martial arts dramas first made her want to learn about China. For her, Chinese poems have a special magic. “ 43 It leaves room for you to think and feel yourself,” she explained. “So when you read a poem, you are not just reading words—you enter the scene and the feeling.” Even with new technology, learning Chinese is changing.

In the early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it  was called the “Tang  Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were introduced to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting paper and painting patterns (图案). It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to introduce the art. 56．How many Asian countries were Chinese oil  paper umbrellas introduced to? 57．Which place in China is known for making oil paper umbrellas? 58．How long does it take to make an oil paper umbrella? 59．Why did Liu Weixue learn this traditional art? 60．What do you think of Liu Weixue? 七、书面表达（15分） 61．假定你是李华，你市下月将接待美国中学生交流团，并举办“中国传统艺术节”(Chinese Traditional Art Festival)。该活动现招募英语出色的志愿者，你希望成为其中的一员。请你结合提示内容，给活动外事负责人张先生写一封英文自荐信。词数80左右。 What kind of person you are:☆ friendly ☆ ...
