The Power of Folk Music
Folk music is one of the oldest forms of music in human history. It is the music of the people, passed down from generation to generation. Unlike pop music, which is often created for commercial purposes, folk music tells the stories of ordinary people’s lives, struggles, and dreams.
In China, folk music has a rich and diverse tradition. Different regions have their own unique styles and instruments. For example, the erhu, a two-stringed instrument, is often used in northern Chinese folk music, while the pipa is more common in the south. Each instrument has its own distinct voice and can express a wide range of emotions.
One of the most famous Chinese folk musicians is Abing, a blind erhu player from Wuxi. Despite his difficult life, he created some of the most beautiful and moving music in Chinese history. His most famous piece, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on the Second Spring), is still loved by millions of people today.
Folk music is not just about the past. Many modern musicians are now mixing folk elements with pop, rock, and electronic music to create new and exciting sounds. This shows that folk music is alive and continues to evolve. It reminds us of our roots while also inspiring us to look forward to the future.
So the next time you hear a folk song, take a moment to listen carefully. You might just discover a story that has been waiting to be heard.

Passage 6
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Traditional Chinese culture is now becoming more and more popular all over the world.
As a foreigner from Canada, I’m a lover of Chinese culture. Several years ago, during a visit to a small village near Suzhou, I found some teenage girls were learning the traditional art of embroidery (刺绣). For centuries, Suzhou has been famous for its wonderful embroidery. Young girls there start to learn the art from an early age. I watched these “modern” girls working for a while. After one of the girls just finished a piece of work, I bought it as a gift for my brother. He felt quite happy and hung it in the living room in Canada.
What makes both Chinese and foreigners love embroidery so much? The work shows us the great skills of craftsmen (工匠). It may look simple, but in fact it is the result of years of hard work. As one Chinese artist said, “One minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage.”
Many colleges in China are offering courses on traditional Chinese culture these years. The students who study traditional Chinese culture in colleges may not become true masters in the future. However, with lots of people’s hard work, nowadays, lots of traditional Chinese culture is coming back to life.

Passage 7
14-year-old Li Hua lives in a small town in Guizhou. Her mother is a master of Miao embroidery, a traditional craft with a history of over 2,000 years. Every evening, Li Hua watches her mother sit by the window, stitching beautiful patterns of flowers and birds onto cloth with colourful threads.
At first, Li Hua thought embroidery was boring and old-fashioned. She preferred playing video games or watching short videos on her phone. But last year, her school organised a trip to a local museum where they saw many ancient Miao embroidery pieces. The guide explained that each pattern tells a story about the Miao people’s history and beliefs. Li Hua was amazed by the beauty and the cultural meaning behind the craft.
From that day on, Li Hua changed her mind. She asked her mother to teach her the basic stitches. At first, her fingers often got pricked by the needle, and the threads got tangled. But she didn’t give up. She practised for an hour every day after school. Now, she can stitch simple patterns like butterflies and flowers.
Li Hua also has a new idea: she wants to combine Miao embroidery with modern fashion. She is designing a series of phone cases and small bags with traditional Miao patterns. "I hope more young people will like this craft if we make it useful in daily life," she said. Her mother is very proud of her, and the local cultural centre has invited Li Hua to teach other children during the summer holiday.

Passage 8
The Senior School Entrance Exams for Chinese Junior 3 students used to be mainly about academic subjects such as Chinese, Maths, English, etc. But starting from 2022, there are also tests in Music. This policy aims to encourage primary and secondary schools to provide more fine music classes because a new study shows that music education is really important in school education. Here are some ideas on how music plays an important role in school education.
Music helps with Maths and Science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide. Students also use Science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn’t. Besides students also use
Science to understand how music is produced by vibration (振动) and why.
Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in foreign languages. Students must learn to translate these foreign words to understand what they are singing about.
Students learn a huge amount of cooperation of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. For example, students must use motor (肌肉运动的) skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind (管乐器) players must learn breath control and be in good shape to sing and play.
Students learn about Art through music. Some famous pieces of music were inspired by important pieces of art, and students learn about the artist and styles as they’re playing the music.
Music education also brings higher thinking. Students have to be aware of what every musician does at every time. In this way, it develops cooperation as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning.

Passage 10
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Inner painting (内画), a kind of traditional Chinese art, is a national-level intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Inner painting artists traditionally create works on the inner surface of glass bottles by using special fine brushes. The brushes must be able to enter the tiny bottles. It has a long history and there are mainly four leading places: Beijing, Hebei, Shandong and Guangdong.
When we look at the inner painting of an object, we experience an amazing beauty. Designs on the painting often express people’s wishes for good luck and a happy life. The most popular designs are landscapes, flowers and birds.
The production of inner painting is difficult because it requires high precision (精确度) and the process of painting is totally reversed (反向的). During painting, there is no room for corrections. And a shaky hand leads to mistakes. Only those skilled and confident in their abilities can paint well. Most artists need to learn inner painting for years before creating great and fine pieces.
Inner painting has its advantages because it is so special. But it also faces challenges such as reducing market needs, and fewer learners and talented artists to help it develop.
Luckily, today’s artists are trying to make inner painting more popular in our lives. One of the artists invented a new type of brush, and drawing can be faster now. Some young artists are using social media to help more people learn about inner painting skills.
In the future, the inner painting artists wish that people can know more about the art. They also hope inner painting courses can be offered at school for young people to take.

Passage 2
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
The Power of a Simple Idea
In a small workshop in Anxi, a young man named Lin Wei was watching his grandmother make tea. She picked the leaves by hand, dried them in the sun, and rolled them carefully. The process had remained almost unchanged for centuries. Lin Wei wondered: Could technology make this better?
That question led to four years of hard work. Lin Wei studied how tea leaves change at different temperatures and humidity levels. He designed a machine that could control these conditions precisely. With this machine, tea makers can now produce tea of more consistent quality, regardless of the weather.
But Lin Wei didn’t stop there. He realized that many traditional crafts face the same challenge—they rely too much on the skill of individual workers. So he started a workshop where young people can learn traditional skills while also using modern tools. “The idea is not to replace tradition with technology,” he explains, “but to use technology to preserve and improve it.”
His story shows that great ideas don’t always have to be completely new. Sometimes, the best ideas are about connecting old traditions with new possibilities. This is especially true in China, where thousands of years of history meet the rapid development of modern technology.
As Lin Wei says, “The past gives us roots. The future gives us wings. The power of ideas is in knowing how to grow both.”
1.What did Lin Wei notice about tea-making in Anxi?
A.The process had remained almost unchanged for centuries.
B.The tea leaves were not picked by hand anymore.
C.The tea was not popular with young people.
D.The process was too simple.
2.What did Lin Wei design to improve tea-making?
A.A new type of tea leaf. B.A machine to control temperature and humidity.
C.A faster way to pick tea leaves. D.A machine to dry tea leaves in the sun.
3.What does Lin Wei believe about technology and tradition?
A.Technology should replace tradition completely.
B.Tradition is more important than technology.
C.Technology can be used to preserve and improve tradition.
D.Tradition and technology cannot work together.
4.What does the underlined sentence “The past gives us roots. The future gives us wings.” mean?
A.We should forget the past and only look forward.
B.We should value both our traditions and new ideas.
C.We should choose between tradition and technology.
D.We should only focus on the future.
5.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Traditional crafts are disappearing.
B.Technology is always better than tradition.
C.Great ideas can come from connecting old and new.
D.Tea-making is the most important traditional craft.
Passage 3
Since the Warring States Period (战国时代), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.
Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done.
However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters.
For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on.
1.What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Valuable and expensive. B.Useful and cheap.
C.Special but worthless. D.Simple but priceless.
2.When did sugar painting appear?
A.In the Warring States Period. B.In the Tang Dynasty.
C.In the Yuan Dynasty. D.In the Ming Dynasty.
3.Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly?
A.To show their excellent skills. B.To avoid syrup becoming hard.
C.To protect the spoon and the table. D.To reduce people’s waiting time.
4.What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards today’s sugar painting according to Paragraph 4?
A.Uncaring. B.Doubtful. C.Worried. D.Unclear.
5.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Introducing the Art of Sugar Painting
B.Improving the Taste of Sugar Painting
C.Effects of the Sugar Producing Technology
D.Ways to Change the Future of Sugar Painting
Passage 4
Printing was invented many years ago. And woodblock printing, known as the “living fossil (化石)” in the printing history, still has its traditional charm today.
During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Buddhism (佛教) became very popular in China. There was a strong need to produce a large number of Buddhist scriptures (经文), and copying by hand could not meet the rising demand. Therefore, ancient Chinese craftsmen (工匠) came up with a new way to make lots of copies—woodblock printing. In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), woodblock printed books were quite popular.
Traditional woodblock printing can be divided into four main steps: writing, carving (雕刻), printing, and binding (装订). Each of these steps includes many smaller tasks, and in total, about 30 steps are needed to create a woodblock print.
Carving is at the heart of woodblock printing because this step can make or break the final print. Skilled craftsmen carve characters and pictures to create raised areas or lines. They will hold ink for printing.
One famous example of woodblock printing is The Diamond Sutra(《金刚经》). It’s considered the “earliest dated printed book” and is stored in the British Library. This ancient art form not only shows the wisdom of Chinese people but also the beauty of Chinese craftsmanship over the centuries.
Before printing, writing allowed people to share their thoughts. But it was the invention of printing that made knowledge a shareable fruit for humankind.
1.When was woodblock printing first created?
A.Two thousand years ago.
B.In the Song Dynasty.
C.Three thousand years ago.
D.In the Tang Dynasty.
2.What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Standard. B.Conditions.
C.Charm. D.Need.
3.Which English saying can explain the importance of carving?
A.No pain, no gain.
B.A miss is as good as a mile.
C.Burn the candle at both ends.
D.Many hands make light work.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To compare different types of printing.
B.To recommend a woodblock printed book.
C.To introduce a kind of traditional Chinese printing.
D.To explain the importance of ancient craftsmen.
5.How is the passage organized?
A.By comparing different printing methods.
B.By listing the steps of woodblock printing in detail.
C.By following the order of time and importance.
D.By analyzing the causes and effects of printing.

After nine years, the popular Disney movie Zootopia is back with its sequel (续集), Zootopia 2. It was released (上映) in Chinese cinemas on November 26, 2025. The story once again follows Judy Hopps, a smart and brave rabbit police officer, and Nick Wilde, a clever fox. They team up to protect their city.
Zootopia is a special modern city where all kinds of animals live together. Tall giraffes walk next to tiny mice. Different areas, like the hot Sahara Square and the cold Tundratown, are made for different animals. The city’s main idea is “anyone can be anything”, which makes it seem like a perfect home. However, the peace is broken when a blue bamboo snake (蓝竹蛇) named Gary steals a secret old book during the city’s birthday party. Judy and Nick soon find out that Gary is not working alone. There is a hidden leader behind his plan. To find this person, they must even run and hide from their own police friends. This tests their friendship greatly.
Fans are happy to see their favorite characters again, including Flash, the slow sloth (树懒), and Gazelle, the famous star. They also meet new faces, such as a family of Arctic shrews who often break the law. The movie also shows new places in Zootopia, like the “West Market” and some dark underground areas.
Just like the first movie, Zootopia 2 is not only fun but also talks about important ideas like prejudice (偏见) and understanding. It shows that true friendship comes from trust.

If you have ever seen a celebration of the Chinese New Year, you may have seen a large, colorful lion dance to the sounds of drums. Of course, it is not a real lion. It’s actually skilled dancers in costume, performing a lion dance.
The lion dance is a traditional part of Chinese culture. It is often performed on the eve of the Chinese New Year. It’s also performed on other special occasions, like weddings. The dance is thought to bring good luck and success.
While there are many different stories of how the lion dance began, one story traces back to a village in China hundreds of years ago. The story says that the villagers were attacked by a monster called Nian. A lion scared the Nian away. But a year later, the Nian returned, and this time the lion was unable to help. So the villagers created the lion costume of their own. The fake (假的) lion danced, and scared the Nian away. For this reason, people perform the lion dance on the night before the Chinese New Year.
There are two different styles of the lion dance. In a southern lion dance, the dancers base their performance on a lion’s behavior. The lion may scratch (挠) or shake its body. The dance can be funny. The other style is the northern lion dance. This style is closely related to the martial art. It includes rolling and jumping. Both styles require skill and practice to perform. And both are very interesting to watch!

Chinese fans are excited to see Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde return in Zootopia 2, which came out on November 26 in China and the US.
Back in 2016, Zootopia (the first film) told the story of animal detectives in a city full of different kinds of animals. It was a great success and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at the 89th Academy Awards.
Disney spent nearly ten years preparing Zootopia 2. “In the first film, the two leads—Judy, a rabbit, and Nick, a fox—were partners for only about 48 hours. They hadn’t got used to working together, so they still had a lot to learn about each other,” said co-director Jared Bush. “Judy and Nick are very different, and in this film, they face a new challenge, they need to find out if they can really work well as a team for a long time.”
Co-director Byron Howard added that they didn’t want Nick to lose his quick mind and wisdom, and they also wanted Judy to keep her idealism. “They are smart characters, so they often have competition with each other,” he said.
This time, Judy and Nick meet Gary De’Snake—the first reptile in Zootopia—and get involved (卷入) in a mystery. They are forced to work secretly in new areas of the city, where their partnership is tested more than ever before.
We can be sure of one thing: Zootopia 2 is not just another adventure (冒险) for the two police partners. It is a journey full of excitement, fun and warmth, and it will remind everyone why they loved this unusual pair from the very beginning.

The Power of Folk Music
Folk music is one of the oldest forms of music in human history. It is the music of the people, passed down from generation to generation. Unlike pop music, which is often created for commercial purposes, folk music tells the stories of ordinary people’s lives, struggles, and dreams.
In China, folk music has a rich and diverse tradition. Different regions have their own unique styles and instruments. For example, the erhu, a two-stringed instrument, is often used in northern Chinese folk music, while the pipa is more common in the south. Each instrument has its own distinct voice and can express a wide range of emotions.
One of the most famous Chinese folk musicians is Abing, a blind erhu player from Wuxi. Despite his difficult life, he created some of the most beautiful and moving music in Chinese history. His most famous piece, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on the Second Spring), is still loved by millions of people today.
Folk music is not just about the past. Many modern musicians are now mixing folk elements with pop, rock, and electronic music to create new and exciting sounds. This shows that folk music is alive and continues to evolve. It reminds us of our roots while also inspiring us to look forward to the future.
So the next time you hear a folk song, take a moment to listen carefully. You might just discover a story that has been waiting to be heard.

Traditional Chinese culture is now becoming more and more popular all over the world.
As a foreigner from Canada, I’m a lover of Chinese culture. Several years ago, during a visit to a small village near Suzhou, I found some teenage girls were learning the traditional art of embroidery (刺绣). For centuries, Suzhou has been famous for its wonderful embroidery. Young girls there start to learn the art from an early age. I watched these “modern” girls working for a while. After one of the girls just finished a piece of work, I bought it as a gift for my brother. He felt quite happy and hung it in the living room in Canada.
What makes both Chinese and foreigners love embroidery so much? The work shows us the great skills of craftsmen (工匠). It may look simple, but in fact it is the result of years of hard work. As one Chinese artist said, “One minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage.”
Many colleges in China are offering courses on traditional Chinese culture these years. The students who study traditional Chinese culture in colleges may not become true masters in the future. However, with lots of people’s hard work, nowadays, lots of traditional Chinese culture is coming back to life.

Passage 7
14-year-old Li Hua lives in a small town in Guizhou. Her mother is a master of Miao embroidery, a traditional craft with a history of over 2,000 years. Every evening, Li Hua watches her mother sit by the window, stitching beautiful patterns of flowers and birds onto cloth with colourful threads.
At first, Li Hua thought embroidery was boring and old-fashioned. She preferred playing video games or watching short videos on her phone. But last year, her school organised a trip to a local museum where they saw many ancient Miao embroidery pieces. The guide explained that each pattern tells a story about the Miao people’s history and beliefs. Li Hua was amazed by the beauty and the cultural meaning behind the craft.
From that day on, Li Hua changed her mind. She asked her mother to teach her the basic stitches. At first, her fingers often got pricked by the needle, and the threads got tangled. But she didn’t give up. She practised for an hour every day after school. Now, she can stitch simple patterns like butterflies and flowers.
Li Hua also has a new idea: she wants to combine Miao embroidery with modern fashion. She is designing a series of phone cases and small bags with traditional Miao patterns. "I hope more young people will like this craft if we make it useful in daily life," she said. Her mother is very proud of her, and the local cultural centre has invited Li Hua to teach other children during the summer holiday.

Passage 8
The Senior School Entrance Exams for Chinese Junior 3 students used to be mainly about academic subjects such as Chinese, Maths, English, etc. But starting from 2022, there are also tests in Music. This policy aims to encourage primary and secondary schools to provide more fine music classes because a new study shows that music education is really important in school education. Here are some ideas on how music plays an important role in school education.
Music helps with Maths and Science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide. Students also use Science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn’t. Besides students also use
Science to understand how music is produced by vibration (振动) and why.
Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in foreign languages. Students must learn to translate these foreign words to understand what they are singing about.
Students learn a huge amount of cooperation of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. For example, students must use motor (肌肉运动的) skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind (管乐器) players must learn breath control and be in good shape to sing and play.
Students learn about Art through music. Some famous pieces of music were inspired by important pieces of art, and students learn about the artist and styles as they’re playing the music.
Music education also brings higher thinking. Students have to be aware of what every musician does at every time. In this way, it develops cooperation as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning.
1.When did China start to include Music tests in Senior School Entrance Exams?
___________________________________________________________
2.How many good points about the music education are talked about?
___________________________________________________________
3.Why can music help parts of the body work better together?

Passage 10
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Inner painting (内画), a kind of traditional Chinese art, is a national-level intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Inner painting artists traditionally create works on the inner surface of glass bottles by using special fine brushes. The brushes must be able to enter the tiny bottles. It has a long history and there are mainly four leading places: Beijing, Hebei, Shandong and Guangdong.
When we look at the inner painting of an object, we experience an amazing beauty. Designs on the painting often express people’s wishes for good luck and a happy life. The most popular designs are landscapes, flowers and birds.
The production of inner painting is difficult because it requires high precision (精确度) and the process of painting is totally reversed (反向的). During painting, there is no room for corrections. And a shaky hand leads to mistakes. Only those skilled and confident in their abilities can paint well. Most artists need to learn inner painting for years before creating great and fine pieces.
Inner painting has its advantages because it is so special. But it also faces challenges such as reducing market needs, and fewer learners and talented artists to help it develop.
Luckily, today’s artists are trying to make inner painting more popular in our lives. One of the artists invented a new type of brush, and drawing can be faster now. Some young artists are using social media to help more people learn about inner painting skills.
In the future, the inner painting artists wish that people can know more about the art. They also hope inner painting courses can be offered at school for young people to take.

5.If your school offers an inner painting course, would you like to take it or not? Why?

【答案】1.On the inner surface of glass bottles. 2.People’s wishes for good luck and a happy life. 3.Because it requires high precision and the process of painting is totally reversed. 4.By using social media. 5.Yes. Because inner painting is a precious national-level intangible cultural heritage worth learning.

Passage 2
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
The Power of a Simple Idea
In a small workshop in Anxi, a young man named Lin Wei was watching his grandmother make tea. She picked the leaves by hand, dried them in the sun, and rolled them carefully. The process had remained almost unchanged for centuries. Lin Wei wondered: Could technology make this better?
That question led to four years of hard work. Lin Wei studied how tea leaves change at different temperatures and humidity levels. He designed a machine that could control these conditions precisely. With this machine, tea makers can now produce tea of more consistent quality, regardless of the weather.
But Lin Wei didn’t stop there. He realized that many traditional crafts face the same challenge—they rely too much on the skill of individual workers. So he started a workshop where young people can learn traditional skills while also using modern tools. “The idea is not to replace tradition with technology,” he explains, “but to use technology to preserve and improve it.”
His story shows that great ideas don’t always have to be completely new. Sometimes, the best ideas are about connecting old traditions with new possibilities. This is especially true in China, where thousands of years of history meet the rapid development of modern technology.
As Lin Wei says, “The past gives us roots. The future gives us wings. The power of ideas is in knowing how to grow both.”
1.What did Lin Wei notice about tea-making in Anxi?
A.The process had remained almost unchanged for centuries.
B.The tea leaves were not picked by hand anymore.
C.The tea was not popular with young people.
D.The process was too simple.
2.What did Lin Wei design to improve tea-making?
A.A new type of tea leaf. B.A machine to control temperature and humidity.
C.A faster way to pick tea leaves. D.A machine to dry tea leaves in the sun.
3.What does Lin Wei believe about technology and tradition?
A.Technology should replace tradition completely.
B.Tradition is more important than technology.
C.Technology can be used to preserve and improve tradition.
D.Tradition and technology cannot work together.
4.What does the underlined sentence “The past gives us roots. The future gives us wings.” mean?
A.We should forget the past and only look forward.
B.We should value both our traditions and new ideas.
C.We should choose between tradition and technology.
D.We should only focus on the future.
5.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Traditional crafts are disappearing.
B.Technology is always better than tradition.
C.Great ideas can come from connecting old and new.
D.Tea-making is the most important traditional craft.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.C 4.B 5.C
【导语】本文讲述了安溪年轻人林伟的故事。他观察到传统制茶工艺几百年未变,于是经过四年努力研发出能精准控制温度和湿度的机器,提高了茶叶质量的稳定性。更重要的是,他创办工作坊,倡导用现代技术保护和改良传统工艺,而非取代它。文章主旨在于说明伟大的创意往往源于将古老传统与现代可能性相结合。
【详解】1.根据第一段内容“The process had remained almost unchanged for centuries.”,可知林伟注意到制茶过程几个世纪以来几乎没变。
2.根据第二段内容“He designed a machine that could control these conditions precisely.”(这里的conditions指代前一句提到的temperatures and humidity levels),可知他设计了一台能控制温度和湿度的机器。
3.根据第三段林伟的解释“The idea is not to replace tradition with technology... but to use technology to preserve and improve it.”,可知他认为技术可以用来保护和改良传统。
4.划线句“The past gives us roots. The future gives us wings.”意为“过去赋予我们根基,未来赋予我们翅膀”。结合上下文,roots象征传统和历史,wings象征创新和未来。这句话强调我们要同时重视传统和新思想,二者相辅相成。

Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire.
Passage 3
Since the Warring States Period (战国时代), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.
Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done.
However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters.
For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on.
1.What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Valuable and expensive. B.Useful and cheap.
C.Special but worthless. D.Simple but priceless.
2.When did sugar painting appear?
A.In the Warring States Period. B.In the Tang Dynasty.
C.In the Yuan Dynasty. D.In the Ming Dynasty.
3.Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly?
A.To show their excellent skills. B.To avoid syrup becoming hard.
C.To protect the spoon and the table. D.To reduce people’s waiting time.
4.What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards today’s sugar painting according to Paragraph 4?
A.Uncaring. B.Doubtful. C.Worried. D.Unclear.
5.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Introducing the Art of Sugar Painting
B.Improving the Taste of Sugar Painting
C.Effects of the Sugar Producing Technology
D.Ways to Change the Future of Sugar Painting
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C 5.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国非物质文化遗产——糖画的历史渊源、制作工艺以及当前面临失传的现状,呼吁人们记住和传承这一传统艺术。
【详解】1.根据第二段“the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes”,既然只有皇室成员才能享用,说明当时的糖非常稀有、有价值且昂贵。因此“precious”意为“珍贵且昂贵的”,“Valuable and expensive.”符合语义。
2.根据第二段最后一句“In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.”,糖画出现在明朝。
3.根据第三段中“Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly.”,快速制作是为了避免糖浆变硬。
4.根据第四段中“it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently”以及“What’s worse”等表述,可以看出作者对糖画目前的生存状况感到担忧和惋惜。
5.通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了糖画的定义、历史起源、制作过程、现状以及其文化价值,旨在向读者介绍糖画这一民间艺术。“介绍糖画艺术”最符合文章主旨。
Passage 4
Printing was invented many years ago. And woodblock printing, known as the “living fossil (化石)” in the printing history, still has its traditional charm today.
During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Buddhism (佛教) became very popular in China. There was a strong need to produce a large number of Buddhist scriptures (经文), and copying by hand could not meet the rising demand. Therefore, ancient Chinese craftsmen (工匠) came up with a new way to make lots of copies—woodblock printing. In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), woodblock printed books were quite popular.
Traditional woodblock printing can be divided into four main steps: writing, carving (雕刻), printing, and binding (装订). Each of these steps includes many smaller tasks, and in total, about 30 steps are needed to create a woodblock print.
Carving is at the heart of woodblock printing because this step can make or break the final print. Skilled craftsmen carve characters and pictures to create raised areas or lines. They will hold ink for printing.
One famous example of woodblock printing is The Diamond Sutra(《金刚经》). It’s considered the “earliest dated printed book” and is stored in the British Library. This ancient art form not only shows the wisdom of Chinese people but also the beauty of Chinese craftsmanship over the centuries.
Before printing, writing allowed people to share their thoughts. But it was the invention of printing that made knowledge a shareable fruit for humankind.
1.When was woodblock printing first created?
A.Two thousand years ago.
B.In the Song Dynasty.
C.Three thousand years ago.
D.In the Tang Dynasty.
2.What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Standard. B.Conditions.
C.Charm. D.Need.
3.Which English saying can explain the importance of carving?
A.No pain, no gain.
B.A miss is as good as a mile.
C.Burn the candle at both ends.
D.Many hands make light work.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To compare different types of printing.
B.To recommend a woodblock printed book.
C.To introduce a kind of traditional Chinese printing.
D.To explain the importance of ancient craftsmen.
5.How is the passage organized?
A.By comparing different printing methods.
B.By listing the steps of woodblock printing in detail.
C.By following the order of time and importance.
D.By analyzing the causes and effects of printing.
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.B 4.C 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国传统木版印刷术的起源、发展、制作步骤、关键工艺及其历史价值。
【详解】1.根据文章第二段中“During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Buddhism (佛教) became very popular in China. There was a strong need to produce a large number of Buddhist scriptures (经文), and copying by hand could not meet the rising demand. Therefore, ancient Chinese craftsmen (工匠) came up with a new way to make lots of copies—woodblock printing.”可知,木版印刷术是在唐朝时期被发明创造的。
2.根据文章第二段中“There was a strong need to produce a large number of Buddhist scriptures (经文), and copying by hand could not meet the rising demand.”可知,前文提到有强烈的“需求 (need)”,后文说手工抄写无法满足日益增长的“demand”,因此demand在此处意为“需求”,与Need同义。
3.根据文章第四段中“Carving is at the heart of woodblock printing because this step can make or break the final print.”可知,雕刻是关键步骤,决定了印刷品的成败,意味着不能有丝毫差错。谚语“A miss is as good as a mile.”意为“失之毫厘,谬以千里”,强调了精确度的重要性,符合语境。
4.通读全文可知,文章围绕木版印刷术展开,介绍了其历史背景、制作流程、代表作品及意义,旨在介绍一种中国传统印刷术。
5.文章第二段按时间顺序(唐朝、宋朝)介绍了木版印刷的发展;第四段和第六段强调了雕刻步骤的重要性及印刷术对人类知识传播的重要性。因此,文章是按照时间顺序和重要性来组织的。

After nine years, the popular Disney movie Zootopia is back with its sequel (续集), Zootopia 2. It was released (上映) in Chinese cinemas on November 26, 2025. The story once again follows Judy Hopps, a smart and brave rabbit police officer, and Nick Wilde, a clever fox. They team up to protect their city.
Zootopia is a special modern city where all kinds of animals live together. Tall giraffes walk next to tiny mice. Different areas, like the hot Sahara Square and the cold Tundratown, are made for different animals. The city’s main idea is “anyone can be anything”, which makes it seem like a perfect home. However, the peace is broken when a blue bamboo snake (蓝竹蛇) named Gary steals a secret old book during the city’s birthday party. Judy and Nick soon find out that Gary is not working alone. There is a hidden leader behind his plan. To find this person, they must even run and hide from their own police friends. This tests their friendship greatly.
Fans are happy to see their favorite characters again, including Flash, the slow sloth (树懒), and Gazelle, the famous star. They also meet new faces, such as a family of Arctic shrews who often break the law. The movie also shows new places in Zootopia, like the “West Market” and some dark underground areas.
Just like the first movie, Zootopia 2 is not only fun but also talks about important ideas like prejudice (偏见) and understanding. It shows that true friendship comes from trust.

Passage 7
If you have ever seen a celebration of the Chinese New Year, you may have seen a large, colorful lion dance to the sounds of drums. Of course, it is not a real lion. It’s actually skilled dancers in costume, performing a lion dance.
The lion dance is a traditional part of Chinese culture. It is often performed on the eve of the Chinese New Year. It’s also performed on other special occasions, like weddings. The dance is thought to bring good luck and success.
While there are many different stories of how the lion dance began, one story traces back to a village in China hundreds of years ago. The story says that the villagers were attacked by a monster called Nian. A lion scared the Nian away. But a year later, the Nian returned, and this time the lion was unable to help. So the villagers created the lion costume of their own. The fake (假的) lion danced, and scared the Nian away. For this reason, people perform the lion dance on the night before the Chinese New Year.
There are two different styles of the lion dance. In a southern lion dance, the dancers base their performance on a lion’s behavior. The lion may scratch (挠) or shake its body. The dance can be funny. The other style is the northern lion dance. This style is closely related to the martial art. It includes rolling and jumping. Both styles require skill and practice to perform. And both are very interesting to watch!

Passage 8
阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题,每小题答案不超过8个单词。
Chinese fans are excited to see Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde return in Zootopia 2, which came out on November 26 in China and the US.
Back in 2016, Zootopia (the first film) told the story of animal detectives in a city full of different kinds of animals. It was a great success and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at the 89th Academy Awards.
Disney spent nearly ten years preparing Zootopia 2. “In the first film, the two leads—Judy, a rabbit, and Nick, a fox—were partners for only about 48 hours. They hadn’t got used to working together, so they still had a lot to learn about each other,” said co-director Jared Bush. “Judy and Nick are very different, and in this film, they face a new challenge, they need to find out if they can really work well as a team for a long time.”
Co-director Byron Howard added that they didn’t want Nick to lose his quick mind and wisdom, and they also wanted Judy to keep her idealism. “They are smart characters, so they often have competition with each other,” he said.
This time, Judy and Nick meet Gary De’Snake—the first reptile in Zootopia—and get involved (卷入) in a mystery. They are forced to work secretly in new areas of the city, where their partnership is tested more than ever before.
We can be sure of one thing: Zootopia 2 is not just another adventure (冒险) for the two police partners. It is a journey full of excitement, fun and warmth, and it will remind everyone why they loved this unusual pair from the very beginning.
