My Olympic volunteering journey started last September. I was excited as I was myself a
sports fan and my home country has not hosted a competition like this. It was a great chance
for me to both watch and serve the Olympics.
After getting trained through the Internet and spending two weeks in quarantine (隔离), I
began to volunteer inside the Wukesong Sports Center. The Center hosted ice hockey games
for both men’s and women’s teams. My job was to guide the audience (观众) to their seats
and answer their questions. I was wild with joy to be present and watch my first-ever Olympic
games live, on the ice. All the games were interesting, and I watched them whenever my
volunteering duties would allow.
In our free time, we had pleasant conversations. It was the best chance for us foreign
students to learn more about the Chinese New Year celebrations, and this year, to celebrate it
together with our Chinese friends. It was really a big festival. We had special Chinese dishes
like dumplings, fish and spring rolls. I also tried to write Chinese characters.
I decided to make the most of the chance and introduce my African and Rwandan
customs to other volunteers. I showed to them the real Africa that they had never seen on TV
before. From geography to social life, I made them understand more about Africa by giving
examples of my hometown. It was a great platform (平台) for us young people to share both
our cultures and futures.
As an international volunteer for Beijing 2022, I was given a special experience to help
others and more importantly, to learn about the spirit of the Winter Olympic Games. I’ll never
forget it.
24. Which was one of the reasons why the writer volunteered in Beijing 2022
A. He was a fan of sports.
B. He was free in winter.
C. He wanted to learn Chinese.
25. What did the writer’s duties as a volunteer include
A. Guiding the teams to their places.
B. Cleaning the Center after the games.
C.Answering questions from the audience.
26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4
A. The Chinese Spring Festival.
B. The Beijing Winter Olympics.
C. The Wukesong Sports Centre.
27. Why does the writer write the passage
A. To share his Olympic volunteering experiences.
B. To express the strong love for his home country.
C. To show the spirit of the Winter Olympic Games.

The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese art. It has a history of over 1,000 years in
China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the“Tang
Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam,
Thailand and Laos. However, as steel-ribbed(钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century,
the hand- made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. As a
result, they were turned into decorative artifacts(装饰性工艺品).
Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years.
They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo,a coating of Tung oil(桐油). They need to take
more than 70 steps. It takes at least a week to make an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas
were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List(非物质文化遗产名录) 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.
In 2017, Liu opened an online shop to sell oil paper umbrellas.
Now Liu’s shop has more than 80,000 followers. He hopes the art can be passed on. He
goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to show
more people about the art.
28．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A．The styles of oil paper umbrellas.
B．The history of oil paper umbrellas.
C．The materials of oil paper umbrellas.
29．What made the oil paper umbrella become decorative artifacts(装饰性工艺品)
A．There were few materials.
B．Steel-ribbed(钢骨的) umbrellas appeared.
C．Fewer people could make them.
30．Why did Liu Weixue learn the art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas
A．To find a better job.
B．To open an online shop.
C．To bring the art to life.
31．What can we infer(推断) from the text
A．The oil paper belongs to modern art.
B．It is easy to make an oil paper umbrella.
C．Liu Weixue is a creative and hard-working man.

After the haircut, they’d review the books, from the characters and vocabulary to the

time to read with their kids. He had a talk with his neighbour Mr. Smith, “You have four kids,
and you are so （43） that sitting down and listening to them read is the last thing you have
time to do. Just bring in your kids and let them read to me.”
Holmes added, “I, too, （ 44 ） the free snip-and-reads. Last month, there was a
seven-year-old boy, Bob, who tried hard to read through his book, stuttering over words, and
then I asked the boy to take the book home and practice. （45）the kid came back a few days
later, he read it with no problems. That inspires (鼓舞) me,” said Holmes.

When people say Chinese culture, we often think of paper cutting. Paper cutting is an art
form with a long history in China. Traditional paper-cuts were first put on windows for
decoration（装饰）. That is why paper-cuts are also called “window flowers”. Most paper-cuts
are made of red paper, because red means good luck in Chinese culture. Today, people use
paper-cuts to decorate not only windows, but also doors and other furnitur（e 家具）Sometimes,
people use them as gifts.
Paper-cuts are popular because of their expressions of good wishes and hopes. During
the Spring Festival, for example, many people put up paper-cuts of the Chinese character（汉
字） “Fu” upside down on the door.（58）他们希望这会给他们带来好运。 At wedding
ceremonie（s 婚礼）, you can always see paper-cuts of the character “Xi”. It means that the new
couple can enjoy happiness together.
Paper cutting has developed into different styles in different parts of China.Paper-cuts
from the north of China usually have interesting shapes. In southern China, people prefer
paper-cuts with the themes（主题）of flowers, fruit, birds and fish.
Learning paper cutting is very easy.With a piece of paper and a knife or a pair of scissors,
you can try to make your own paper-cuts.（60）Although paper cutting is easy to start with,
you need a lot of practice to become really good at it.
