（2024·湖南长沙·二模）
Sui Xin and her friends spent an afternoon roasting nuts and fruits around a coal stove (炉子) while enjoying freshly boiled white tea.

To promote tea culture among the young, traditional teahouses have turned into new-style ones to meet the tastes of young people. The decoration (装饰) of some stores shows a combination (结合) of traditional Chinese styles and youthful design, such as Heytea’s Zhongguancun store in Beijing. Tea makers and modern teahouses are also trying to introduce tea culture to more people by creating new drinks and related (相关的) products to highlight local cultures and history. The drinks and products do catch a lot of people’s attention.

Passage 2
（2024·陕西宝鸡·二模）
As an old saying goes in Xunpu, Fujian province, “Put flowers in your hair in this life and you’ll also be pretty in the afterlife.” In the past, all the women in the small fishing village had long hair, and then they put colorful and special floral (花的) headdresses on their hair. The headdress is known as zanhua. Zanhua was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
As a child, Huang Rongbing would watch his mother comb (梳理) her long and thick hair. After forming a bun at the back of her head, she would put colorful lowers into her hair, the 34-year-old recalled.
The headdress inspired Huang’s career (职业) choice. In 2016, he and his older sister opened a salon. There, tourists can get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zanhua,” said Huang.
The increase in tourist visits has made Huang happy. That’s because it not only keeps the business busy but also helps spread the history and culture behind zanhua headwear.
After going through the full zanhua experience, Hu Titi, one of Huang’s customers, even brought zanhua culture to Paris in France last year. Under the Eifel Tower, she shot photos and
videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair.
Huang said the women of Xunpu are hard-working, warm-hearted and brave. They are famous for catching the best seafood. “When they put a zanhua on their head, they express their wish for happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope,” he added.

Passage 3
（2024·山东泰安·二模）
Eating and drinking in China can be an enjoyable cultural experience. However, there are likely to be many surprises along the way. We would like to prepare you for, and even warn you of, the main differences between eating and drinking in China and in the West.
Be prepared for your Chinese host placing food in your bowl, usually without even asking.
The host will often put chicken legs or other parts of the meal in the guest’s bowl. Though Westerners may see this as interfering (干涉) with one’s independence and personal space, it is a sign of hospitality (好客) in China.
Though in the West it is sometimes considered rude to put one’s elbows on the dining table, this is quite acceptable in China, especially when eating noodles. However, you may want to avoid this in some restaurants. Using your own antiseptic wipes (消毒湿巾) may help to put your mind at ease in some situations.
In China it is also common practice to spit things out on the table or the floor. However, in more upper-market restaurants in China or in the West, people usually use one of the methods below rather than spitting. Using chopsticks, forks, or tissues (餐巾纸) is a polite way around the problem. You might want to ask for a side plate or an extra bowl for the bones (骨头), etc. Be warned if seeing piles of things that came out of someone’s mouth may put you off your food. You may want to order dishes with no bones.
We realize Westerners usually come to China to experience things you don’t have at home. Our customers usually want to eat different things. If you want to enjoy Chinese food and experience the eating and drinking in China, see our recommended (被推荐的) China tours.
9．What can we infer from the paragraph 2-3

C．Westerners usually put their elbows on the table.
D．Chinese always put their elbows on the dinner table.
10．What does the underlined word “spit” in paragraph 4 mean

Passage 4
（2024·天津和平·二模）Look at the pictures of cute rabbits dressed in lion dance costumes. Can you guess what they are used for Are they toys Well, if you think so, think again. These cute “rabbits” are actually huabobo. It has been a popular traditional food in Shandong Province for more than 300 years.
Usually, huabobo is four or even six times bigger than mantou. It has become a necessary part of some important events. Local women use tools like knives, scissors and pens to shape the dough (生面团) into ducks, dragons, peaches, etc, before having them steamed. Then they color them. Their bright and beautiful colors are generally considered to express good wishes.
For example, huabobo in the shapes of rabbits and tigers is usually given to children to express the wish that a boy will be as strong as a tiger and a girl as lovely and clever as a white rabbit. And huabobo in the shape of yuan yang represents the wish that a newly-married couple will live happily together to an old age.
Huabobo is normally sweet in taste. The way to make huabobo has been passed down from generation (一代人) to generation in Shandong Province.
Huabobo tastes good, but most huabobo shops only serve it locally. That detail caught the attention of Zang Chaiyuan, a 25-year-old girl from Yantai. She wanted to introduce huabobo to more people.
Zang’s love for huabobo has also led her to create new shapes. She also uses natural fruit and vegetable juice to color huabobo. What’s more, she has found a way to store huabobo for over two months, making it more convenient to send it to other cities.
Using her creative works, Zang has managed to breathe new life into the traditional huabobo, allowing more young people to understand and taste this traditional food.

Fibromyalgia is a long-lasting health problem, which makes people feel of pain and have trouble sleeping. It can make them feel bad both in their bodies and minds. Some researchers wanted to see if Tai Chi, a special kind of exercise that uses slow movements to help both body and mind, could help people with fibromyalgia feel better. They studied 226 people with fibromyalgia for a year. Some did regular (常规) exercises, and others did Tai Chi, which can be done by anyone, no matter their physical limits.
Before starting, the researchers checked how much pain and stress each person had. They chose patients who had a lot of pain and had been dealing with fibromyalgia for about nine years. They divided them into two groups: one did regular exercises, and the other did Tai Chi. Both groups exercised twice a week for an hour. After either 12 or 24 weeks of classes, they were told to practice at home for at least 30 minutes every day. The researchers checked on them every month. They also asked how much pain and other problems the patients had in the beginning, after
12 and 24 weeks, and after the whole year.
The results showed that the Tai Chi groups, especially those who practiced for 24 weeks, had less pain than the regular exercise groups. The Tai Chi groups also felt less stressed and were better at dealing with their problems. They attended their Tai Chi classes more often.
Tai Chi is about moving slowly to exercise all parts of the body. It helps with balance and controlling movements. It also helps with feelings and behavior. The researchers said, “Tai Chi helped patients with fibromyalgia feel better in their minds and bodies, which might be better for them in the long run.”

Passage 12
（2024·甘肃武威·三模）Sherry Gao is pouring coffee made from Yunnan beans, hoping that her coffee shop in the city of Pasadena, California introduces you to your new favorite coffee and turns your opinions about Chinese coffee beans upside down.
_________ But Gao hopes that throwing light on Yunnan-sourced coffee could expose customers to the coffee-producing region and help to break down prejudice against the beans,
which for tens of years were mostly used for instant products.
“We wanted to highlight Chinese coffee because a lot of people never had Chinese coffee before,” Gao said. “Some have the prejudice that it’s bad or cheap, but that’s not the case anymore. It’s been changing so much over the last decade.” Recent producing process, such as the addition of fruit, is leading Yunnan’s coffee to better results. “Every time a new product comes in, it tastes better than the last one,” Gao said.

And the turn of the century and the 2010s saw a sharp growth with international companies investing in the coffee planting. But in the last 10 to 15 years, tastes and need for special and high-grade coffees appeared, especially from local growers and shops. The domestic demand for China-grown coffee has risen so rapidly that Gao says it’s now much more expensive.
To further connect with the community, Gao hopes to hold classes for Yunnan coffee introduction. After all, she says, the Yunnan coffee tastes excellent when made in one’s own kitchen with a pour-over system. She hopes it’s only a matter of time before Yunnan coffee becomes popular among the homemade coffee lovers.

Passage 15
（2024·云南昆明·一模）By drawing pictures on a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea art, has become popular recently. Zhang Zhifeng, an inheritor(传承人) of chabaixi, noticed from a TV show that many people showed great interest in this art.
Chabaixi can create different pictures such as bamboos and mountains. There are many steps, from grinding (磨碎) tea, pouring boiled water, stirring (搅拌) the mixture, to finally drawing the pictures. After seven times of pouring water and stirring, there will be enough dark foam (泡沫). Then we can draw pictures on it with clear water and a stick. The process of drawing, or diancha, must be finished in 20 minutes before the foam disappears.
“Chabaixi is one of the many forms of tea art in China. It becomes popular not only because it is a special Chinese tradition, but also because it gives us a window to see people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty.” Zhang said.
Years ago, this special art was close to disappearing completely. Zhang Zhifeng started researching the origins (起源) of chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the art back in 2009 after years of testing and practicing. Chang thought it was really meaningful. In 2017, this art was listed as part of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产).
“This art is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it disappear. It is our duty to pass it on,” Zhang said.

Passage 16
（2024·云南·一模）In China, the year 2024 is known as long nian in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. Over a long period of time, it has been called the Year of the Dragon in English. But actually, there are a lot of differences between the Chinese long and the Western dragon.
The Chinese long is made up of parts of some gentle animals, such as a rabbit’s eyes and an ox’s ears. In Chinese mythology, long is able to fly. In addition, it can also spray (喷洒) water from its mouth to create rain.
However, in Western culture, a dragon breathes fire and has the body of a snake and big wings of a bat. What’s more, you will find most of the Western dragons in dark colors because they usually stand for evil (邪恶). As a result, normally at the end of the stories, the evil dragon will be beaten by the superheroes.
What makes such differences In fact, they have something to do with the cultural differences. In Chinese Confucian (儒家的) ideas, kindness and harmony (和谐) are very important. It is our duty to help each other and live a peaceful life. Western culture, on the other hand, prefers individual heroism (个人英雄主义). Whenever something terrible happens, there will be a superhero who is brave enough to stand out, fight against the enemy on his own, and, of course, save the whole world.
In recent years, Chinese have tried to translate long in another way. For example, Zhejiang’s Loong Air has already written long as Loong. One of the reasons is that Loong sounds the same as the Chinese character long. Besides, the letters “oo” in the word Loong look like the two big eyes of the animal, which makes it easier to memorize this word.
Anyway, no matter how long is translated, there is one thing for sure: the Chinese long is different from the Western dragon, and it is a symbol of good luck.
Wish you and your family the best in the Year of Loong!
67．Which of the following is the picture of a Western dragon
A．B． C． D．
68．According to the Chinese Confucian ideas, what might be the reason for long to spray water
A．To fight against the evil dragon. B．To help the farmers in the dry weather.
C．To show its power and ability. D．To make itself the superhero in this world.
69．Which of the following is True according to the passage
A．A dragon breathes fire and has the body of a bat.
B．2024 is the year of Loong in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar.
C．The Western dragon is a symbol of good luck.
D．Long can’t fly because it has no wings.
70．________ make Loong the new translation of the Chinese character long according to the passage.
A．The historical background and cultural meaning
B．The historical background and spelling
C．The pronunciation and spelling
D．The cultural meaning and pronunciation
71．In which part of a magazine may we find this passage

Passage 17
（2024·重庆忠县·一模）The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest wonders of the world. The entire wall, which has many branches, is about 8,800 kilometers long. It stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west.
The construction was begun during the Warring States Period, which was about 2,500 years ago. The states of Qin, Wei, Zhao, Qi, Yan and Zhongshan all built walls to protect their people. The first emperor, Qin Shihuang, joined all these smaller walls together to make the Great Wall.
These early walls that were made of packed earth and wood wore away in the rain and wind. Few of these walls remain. Most of the Great Wall that can be seen today was built during the Ming dynasty. It was made of stone and brick that would last longer.
The Great Wall was first built by ancient people to separate them from their enemies. Those Ming dynasty rulers did not expect that it would later be used to bring tourists into China. It is said that he who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. The Great Wall is a treasure of Chinese civilization and it is regarded as a symbol of the Chinese nation.

Passage 18

In Song Dynasty, women used to wear the horse-face skirts when they rode donkeys or horses. The openings make it convenient for women to get on and off them. In the next hundreds of years, these skirts have become more and more beautiful. In 2022, many hanfu lovers began to spread the knowledge of the skirts. This helped more people learn about traditional Chinese clothes. “For us, wearing the skirts is not just for fashion,” said Mao, one of the hanfu lovers, “It also shows our love for Chinese culture.”
Recently, the skirts have gotten even more popular. Many famous Chinese people have worn them to international events. And during this past Spring Festival, lots of young people wore the skirts when they went on trips.
People in other countries like these skirts, too. Chinese clothing factories have gotten a lot of orders for them from abroad. A report studied how popular the skirts were among foreign users of some short video apps. What did the report find Last year, users from more than 90 countries shared something about the skirts!

Passage 19
（2024·贵州遵义·二模）There is a place in China that can help outsiders better understand the Chinese philosophy (哲学) of dealing with human relationships. It is a 100-meter-long alley in Tongcheng City, Anhui Province, which is called “Six-chi-wide Alley,” and behind its name lies an interesting story.
During the ding Dynasty, there were two neighboring families, the Zhangs and the Wus, arguing over the boundary (界线) of their houses. The hangs had a family member holding an important position in the palace, who was the well-known minister, Zhang Ying. So they sent a letter to ask him for help. Zhang Ying read the letter and requested his own family to move its wall about one meter, or three chi back from their neighbors. And the hangs did as told to. The Wus were so touched that they gave up three chi of their land in return. And the alley was named “Six-chi-wide Alley” accordingly.
The story shows the traditional Chinese wisdom (智慧) of Qīn Rén Shàn Lín, or developing neighborliness (睦邻友好). The key of “Qīn Rén Shàn Lín” lies in “Rén”. Confucius, the great educator, once explained that the meaning of “Rén” is “to love others.” It means to show care from the heart, starting with those closest to us. And it extends (延展) to sincerely caring for other people.
Chinese people believe that neighbors are like lips and teeth. We should not care about only one’s own interests and pass on difficulties to others. As a multi-ethnic nation with the highest number of neighboring countries, developing neighborliness has played an important role in the development of China.
81．Which of the following is the picture of “Six-chi-wide Alley”
A． B． C．
82．How does the writer bring out the idea of developing neighborliness
A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By asking questions.

Passage 20
（2024·江苏常州·一模）
①The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表）, it uses characters (汉字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important part in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols existed (存在), but only Chinese characters are still in use today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed.
②Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time.
③However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.
④Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by putting two or more characters together. For example, “rest” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed
for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other.
⑤Though these kinds of characters show meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced (发音). Therefore, a way was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
⑥In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to a large number of people, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China's mainland.
85．How did the writer introduce the Chinese characters
A．By giving examples B．By providing causes
C．By expressing opinions D．By comparing (比较) facts
86．The sentence “Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.” would best be placeed at the beginning of ________.
A．Paragraph 5 B．Paragraph 4 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 2
87．What can we learn from the passage
A．Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, which are easier than before.
B．Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people.
C．Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and are still in use today like other ancient symbols.
D．Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.
88．What might be the best title for the passage
A．The difference between Chinese and Western language
B．How to form Chinese characters
C．The development of Chinese characters
D．The history of the Chinese language
