By blending her family’s heritage with contemporary techniques, she ensures this traditional craft not only survives but thrives. After earning a degree in French and a master’s in trade in France, Yang worked in Paris importing crafts and artworks. Yet after five years, she realized this path wasn’t what she truly wanted. “I often felt like a wanderer in a foreign land. I missed the warmth of home,” she said. “Most importantly, my mother is an intangible cultural heritage bearer. As her only child, it’s up to me to continue this legacy.” In 2016, she returned to Linhai and took over the Zhang Xiujuan Paper Cutting Museum, which was founded by her mother. Linhai paper-cutting, recognized as part of Zhejiang’s intangible cultural heritage since 2007, was in need of both preservation and innovation. The traditional paper is vulnerable to humidity and fading, which greatly influenced the preservation of the art. To tackle this problem, Yang experimented with new materials like silk and cashmere cotton, securing 13 national patents for her innovations. “Our silk paper-cutting was a breakthrough because we patented the process of using silk instead of paper, giving the material a new meaning,” she said. Yang has creatively integrated traditional techniques with modern applications, designing patterns for contemporary products such as bags, coasters, earrings and cloud shoulders. She aims to make the art functional and relevant to everyday life. She also launched initiatives to teach Linhai paper-cutting to villagers, providing new income opportunities for them. Over 150 training sessions have been held, with more than 2,000 participants completing the courses. Yang also offers live-streamed classes to international audiences, having taught over 1,000 people from countries like the US, Spain and Hungary. “In the future, we aim to transform Linhai paper-cutting from mere wall art into something young people appreciate. By integrating it into everyday scenes, we believe it can gain wider recognition,” Yang said. 24．(2.5分)Why did Yang Yuxiao return to her hometown? A．To escape the loneliness in France. B．To carry on her mother’s legacy. C．To expand her importing business. D．To open a paper-cutting museum. 25．(2.5分)What problem did Yang solve for paper-cutting? A．Its poor resistance to weather. B．Its high production cost. C．Its difficulty in finding materials. D．Its lack of modern designs. 26．(2.5分)What has Yang done to promote Linhai paper-cutting? A．She exports related crafts and artworks abroad. B．She applies it to daily goods and teaches others. C．She holds exhibitions to show the new techniques. D．She hires the local villagers to teach paper-cutting. 27．(2.5分)What does Yang’s story show us? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．East or west, home is the best. C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．Where there’s a will, there’s a way. （本题10分）Founded by singer, author and broadcaster Cerys Matthews, the Good Life Experience is all about connecting guests with things that really matter, through music, food, literature, ideas, workshops and the great outdoors. It’s a festival that feels both timely and necessary. In an age of deliberately designed online lives, it offers something genuine: the chance to light a campfire, learn a craft from an expert, share stories face-to-face, or simply enjoy a moment of collective silence under the stars. The event, held on a beautiful country estate in Wales, is built on the belief that happiness is found in participation and creation, not just consumption. Its programme, accordingly, is a thoughtfully curated (筹办) mix of the hands-on and the inspirational. You might find yourself learning to forge a knife one hour, and listening to a celebrated author read by the river the next. There are workshops in leatherworking and woodcraft, opportunities to try wild swimming, and countless campfires around which strangers become friends through conversation. The food stalls prioritize local and seasonal produce, and the music stages feature everything from folk to soul, often inviting audience participation. “We wanted to create a space where people could switch off from the digital noise and reconnect with their own hands, minds, and with each other,” says Matthews. “It’s about the joy of making something, the satisfaction of learning a skill your ancestors might have known, and the deep connections that form when you share that experience. ” The festival challenges the modern idea of entertainment as a passive activity. It’s a cure for the speed and isolation of contemporary life, promoting slowness, skill-sharing, and community. It’s an example of a richer, more connected way of living. 28．(2.5分)Why did the author describe the festival as timely and necessary? A．Because it promotes Welsh tourism. B．Because it was founded by a famous singer. C．Because it promotes hands-on activities. D．Because it resists artificial online lives. 29．(2.5分)What is the core value of the Good Life Experience? A．Passive enjoyment of wonderful scenery. B．Consumption of expensive local produce. C．Active participation and mutual connection. D．Promotion of digital entertainment culture. 30．(2.5分)What can we learn about the programs of the festival? A．They focus only on practical craft skills. B．They encourage audience involvement. C．They are mainly commercial performances. D．They are designed for professional artists. 31．(2.5分)What can we infer from Cerys Matthews’ words? A．She hopes people can escape digital distractions. B．She thinks ancestors’ skills are outdated. C．She prefers online interaction to face-to-face talks. D．She aims to make the festival a commercial success. （本题10分）As India’s most important festival of the year, Diwali is a time to celebrate the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Widely celebrated among more than a billion people from a variety of beliefs, the five days of Diwali are marked by prayer, feasts, fireworks, family gatherings, and helping those in need. For some, Diwali is also the beginning of a new year. So widely is it celebrated that it has no single origin story. In Hinduism (印度教) alone, there are several versions of tales about the Hindu god Vishnu, who brings back the balance of good and evil in times of trouble. Even other religions (宗教) in India have their own Diwali stories too. But Diwali is perhaps best known for the brightly burning clay lamps (灯盏) that people line up outside their homes on the night of the new moon to invite the presence of Lakshmi, wife of Vishnu, the goddess of wealth. What a scene to have a sea of lamps lit and placed in rows along the walls of temples and houses, and floating on rivers and streams. Homes are decorated, and floors inside and out are covered with beautiful designs made of colored rice, sand, or flowers. The doors and windows of houses are kept open in the hope that Lakshmi will find her way inside and bless the residents with wealth and success. Diwali is generally a time for visiting, exchanging gifts, wearing new clothes, feasting, feeding the poor, and setting off fireworks. Among others, gambling (赌博), especially in the form of card games, is encouraged as a way of ensuring good luck in the coming year. Traditionally, in honor of Lakshmi, the female player always wins. The spirit of Diwali extends beyond a single tradition. However it is celebrated, the spirit of Diwali is universal — the belief that, eventually, light will overcome darkness. 32．(2.5分)What is the main idea of Paragraph one? A．Diwali is celebrated by people with the same beliefs. B．Diwali marks the beginning of a new year for everyone. C．Diwali is India's most important festival with various celebrations. D．Diwali focuses on family gatherings and helping the poor. 33．(2.5分)Why do people keep doors and windows open during Diwali? A．To welcome Lakshmi. B．To let fresh air in. C．To display their decorations. D．To allow fireworks smoke to escape. 34．(2.5分)What is the purpose of gambling during Diwali according to the passage? A．To ensure good luck. B．To win money for the poor. C．To test one's fortune. D．To celebrate family reunions. 35．(2.5分)What does the passage mainly intend to tell readers? A．The historical origin and development of the Diwali festival. B．How Diwali is celebrated differently by various religions in India. C．The cultural customs and central values behind the Diwali festival. D．Why Lakshmi is regarded as the most important goddess during Diwali. （本题12.5分）Teaching your children about world cultures helps them appreciate the differences in people and their traditions. 36(2.5分) Instead, use your imagination to explore the world without even needing a suitcase.

It was a quiet evening in my childhood. My grandmother, who loves traditional Chinese music, took out her old guzheng and sat next to me. When she softly played the strings, she created gentle and pleasant musical notes. She smiled and said, “Today, let’s start your journey with this traditional Chinese instrument.” At first, I found it really hard. My fingers felt rigid (坚硬的) and clumsy on the strings, and the songs I played were disorderly and incorrect, nothing like the wonderful music Grandma made. My finger ends often turned red and painful after practicing for a while, and I even wanted to stop trying several times. However, Grandma never criticized me. She patiently changed my finger movements and taught me basic playing methods. She also told me the history of the guzheng and the feelings hidden in every traditional Chinese song. As time went on, I went abroad for my high school education. Far away from home, I kept the guzheng as my valuable partner. I set aside time to practice every weekend, losing myself in the soft melodies (旋律) of the instrument. Little by little, my playing skills got better. I could play many traditional songs well, and my fingers moved freely on the strings. I also loved this traditional instrument more deeply and felt the special warmth and rich cultural beauty of Chinese traditional music in every note. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, my school held an international cultural exchange activity. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Through this experience, I realized the power of sharing. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Let’s Celebrate!（较易版01） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分） Where does the conversation probably take place?

By blending her family’s heritage with contemporary techniques, she ensures this traditional craft not only survives but thrives. After earning a degree in French and a master’s in trade in France, Yang worked in Paris importing crafts and artworks. Yet after five years, she realized this path wasn’t what she truly wanted. “I often felt like a wanderer in a foreign land. I missed the warmth of home,” she said. “Most importantly, my mother is an intangible cultural heritage bearer. As her only child, it’s up to me to continue this legacy.” In 2016, she returned to Linhai and took over the Zhang Xiujuan Paper Cutting Museum, which was founded by her mother. Linhai paper-cutting, recognized as part of Zhejiang’s intangible cultural heritage since 2007, was in need of both preservation and innovation. The traditional paper is vulnerable to humidity and fading, which greatly influenced the preservation of the art. To tackle this problem, Yang experimented with new materials like silk and cashmere cotton, securing 13 national patents for her innovations. “Our silk paper-cutting was a breakthrough because we patented the process of using silk instead of paper, giving the material a new meaning,” she said. Yang has creatively integrated traditional techniques with modern applications, designing patterns for contemporary products such as bags, coasters, earrings and cloud shoulders. She aims to make the art functional and relevant to everyday life. She also launched initiatives to teach Linhai paper-cutting to villagers, providing new income opportunities for them. Over 150 training sessions have been held, with more than 2,000 participants completing the courses. Yang also offers live-streamed classes to international audiences, having taught over 1,000 people from countries like the US, Spain and Hungary. “In the future, we aim to transform Linhai paper-cutting from mere wall art into something young people appreciate. By integrating it into everyday scenes, we believe it can gain wider recognition,” Yang said. 24．(2.5分)Why did Yang Yuxiao return to her hometown? A．To escape the loneliness in France. B．To carry on her mother’s legacy. C．To expand her importing business. D．To open a paper-cutting museum. 25．(2.5分)What problem did Yang solve for paper-cutting? A．Its poor resistance to weather. B．Its high production cost. C．Its difficulty in finding materials. D．Its lack of modern designs. 26．(2.5分)What has Yang done to promote Linhai paper-cutting? A．She exports related crafts and artworks abroad. B．She applies it to daily goods and teaches others. C．She holds exhibitions to show the new techniques. D．She hires the local villagers to teach paper-cutting. 27．(2.5分)What does Yang’s story show us? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．East or west, home is the best. C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 【答案】24．B 25．A 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文讲述了杨雨潇放弃巴黎的国际贸易工作，回到家乡浙江传承并创新临海剪纸，通过改良材料、设计文创产品、开设课程等方式，让这一非遗技艺重焕生机的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Most importantly, my mother is an intangible cultural heritage bearer. As her only child, it’s up to me to continue this legacy. (最重要的是，我的母亲是非物质文化遗产传承人，作为她唯一的孩子，我有责任传承这份遗产)”可知，杨雨潇回到家乡是为了传承母亲的非遗事业。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“The traditional paper is vulnerable to humidity and fading, which greatly influenced the preservation of the art. To tackle this problem, Yang experimented with new materials like silk and cashmere cotton (传统纸张易受潮褪色，严重影响了这项技艺的保存。为解决这一问题，杨雨潇尝试了丝绸、羊绒棉等新材料)”可知，她解决了传统剪纸不耐潮湿、易褪色的问题，即抗自然环境影响能力差的问题。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段“Yang has creatively integrated traditional techniques with modern applications, designing patterns for contemporary products such as bags, coasters, earrings and cloud shoulders. She aims to make the art functional and relevant to everyday life. She also launched initiatives to teach Linhai paper-cutting to villagers (杨雨潇创造性地将传统技艺与现代应用结合，为包、杯垫、耳环、云肩等现代产品设计图案。她旨在使这种艺术具有实用性，并与日常生活相关联。她还发起项目，向村民教授临海剪纸)”可知，她通过将剪纸应用于日用品和教授他人剪纸来推广这项技艺。 27．推理判断题。第二段“As her only child, it’s up to me to continue this legacy. (作为她唯一的孩子，我有责任传承这份遗产)”点明了她传承非遗的决心。第三段“To tackle this problem, Yang experimented with new materials like silk and cashmere cotton, securing 13 national patents for her innovations.

It’s a festival that feels both timely and necessary. In an age of deliberately designed online lives, it offers something genuine: the chance to light a campfire, learn a craft from an expert, share stories face-to-face, or simply enjoy a moment of collective silence under the stars. The event, held on a beautiful country estate in Wales, is built on the belief that happiness is found in participation and creation, not just consumption. Its programme, accordingly, is a thoughtfully curated (筹办) mix of the hands-on and the inspirational. You might find yourself learning to forge a knife one hour, and listening to a celebrated author read by the river the next. There are workshops in leatherworking and woodcraft, opportunities to try wild swimming, and countless campfires around which strangers become friends through conversation. The food stalls prioritize local and seasonal produce, and the music stages feature everything from folk to soul, often inviting audience participation. “We wanted to create a space where people could switch off from the digital noise and reconnect with their own hands, minds, and with each other,” says Matthews. “It’s about the joy of making something, the satisfaction of learning a skill your ancestors might have known, and the deep connections that form when you share that experience. ” The festival challenges the modern idea of entertainment as a passive activity. It’s a cure for the speed and isolation of contemporary life, promoting slowness, skill-sharing, and community. It’s an example of a richer, more connected way of living. 28．(2.5分)Why did the author describe the festival as timely and necessary? A．Because it promotes Welsh tourism.

Widely celebrated among more than a billion people from a variety of beliefs, the five days of Diwali are marked by prayer, feasts, fireworks, family gatherings, and helping those in need. For some, Diwali is also the beginning of a new year. So widely is it celebrated that it has no single origin story. In Hinduism (印度教) alone, there are several versions of tales about the Hindu god Vishnu, who brings back the balance of good and evil in times of trouble. Even other religions (宗教) in India have their own Diwali stories too. But Diwali is perhaps best known for the brightly burning clay lamps (灯盏) that people line up outside their homes on the night of the new moon to invite the presence of Lakshmi, wife of Vishnu, the goddess of wealth. What a scene to have a sea of lamps lit and placed in rows along the walls of temples and houses, and floating on rivers and streams. Homes are decorated, and floors inside and out are covered with beautiful designs made of colored rice, sand, or flowers. The doors and windows of houses are kept open in the hope that Lakshmi will find her way inside and bless the residents with wealth and success. Diwali is generally a time for visiting, exchanging gifts, wearing new clothes, feasting, feeding the poor, and setting off fireworks. Among others, gambling (赌博), especially in the form of card games, is encouraged as a way of ensuring good luck in the coming year. Traditionally, in honor of Lakshmi, the female player always wins. The spirit of Diwali extends beyond a single tradition. However it is celebrated, the spirit of Diwali is universal — the belief that, eventually, light will overcome darkness. 32．(2.5分)What is the main idea of Paragraph one? A．Diwali is celebrated by people with the same beliefs. B．Diwali marks the beginning of a new year for everyone. C．Diwali is India's most important festival with various celebrations.

It was a quiet evening in my childhood. My grandmother, who loves traditional Chinese music, took out her old guzheng and sat next to me. When she softly played the strings, she created gentle and pleasant musical notes. She smiled and said, “Today, let’s start your journey with this traditional Chinese instrument.” At first, I found it really hard. My fingers felt rigid (坚硬的) and clumsy on the strings, and the songs I played were disorderly and incorrect, nothing like the wonderful music Grandma made. My finger ends often turned red and painful after practicing for a while, and I even wanted to stop trying several times. However, Grandma never criticized me. She patiently changed my finger movements and taught me basic playing methods. She also told me the history of the guzheng and the feelings hidden in every traditional Chinese song. As time went on, I went abroad for my high school education. Far away from home, I kept the guzheng as my valuable partner. I set aside time to practice every weekend, losing myself in the soft melodies (旋律) of the instrument. Little by little, my playing skills got better. I could play many traditional songs well, and my fingers moved freely on the strings. I also loved this traditional instrument more deeply and felt the special warmth and rich cultural beauty of Chinese traditional music in every note. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, my school held an international cultural exchange activity. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Through this experience, I realized the power of sharing. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, my school held an international cultural exchange activity. Eager to share the charm of Chinese traditional culture, I signed up for a guzheng performance. On the activity day, I stepped onto the stage confidently. When my fingers glided across the strings, gentle and elegant melodies spread through the hall. Many foreign classmates came to ask about the guzheng’s history and playing skills, and I shared my knowledge and experience with them happily. Through this experience, I realized the power of sharing. Music knows no cultural boundaries and serves as a universal language connecting people from all over the world. The guzheng is more than an instrument for me. It is a precious cultural bridge that lets the world witness the beauty of Chinese traditional art. I truly cherish this special way to spread and inherit our splendid culture. Small as the instrument is, it carries the profound essence of our traditional culture. I am determined to keep promoting Chinese folk music to more people in the future. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者幼时跟随奶奶学习古筝，历经练习的艰辛不曾放弃，出国求学后仍坚持弹奏，最终在国际文化交流活动中演奏并分享中国文化的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者报名古筝表演、登台演奏，以及演出结束后外国同学前来询问古筝相关知识，作者热情分享的场景。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者感悟到音乐不分国界，古筝不只是乐器，更是传播中华文化的桥梁，并立志继续推广中国传统民乐。 2.续写线索：登台演奏——交流讲解——感悟共享——文化桥梁——立志传播 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①报名参加：sign up for/register for ②珍视：cherish/treasure 情绪类 ①渴望的：eager/longing ②愉快地：happily/cheerfully/delightedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】It is a precious cultural bridge that lets the world witness the beauty of Chinese traditional art.
