一、 阅读理解。(共12小题,每小题2.5分,满分30分)
A[传统文化] ★★★
昆 曲
  What makes an art form last for over 600 years? Kunqu Opera, one
of China’s oldest and most beautiful traditional operas, has done just that.
However, like many traditional Chinese art forms, Kunqu Opera once
faced challenges. Modern culture, like pop music and movies, took the
centre stage, and fewer young people were interested in Kunqu Opera.





  But things are changing now. With schools teaching traditional art and
performers using social media, a new generation has started discovering the
beauty of Kunqu Opera through online videos and live shows.
  Fang Qian is one of these young fans. “Kunqu Opera is like a seed
(种子) that grows as I learn more about it,” she says. “The more I
study it, the more I discover about other parts of Chinese culture, like
literature(文学), calligraphy, music, and painting. This helps me
understand my cultural roots(根) gradually.”





  Fu Jin, a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts
(中国戏曲学院), explains why Kunqu Opera is so special. “Among
all Chinese operas, Kunqu Opera is one of the most beautiful and best-
known,” he says. “It shows many parts of traditional Chinese culture,
such as ways of thinking, social values, and lifestyles.” What cheers
Professor Fu is that more young people are now falling in love with Kunqu
Opera. They find it beautiful and amazing.
  Today, Kunqu Opera is not just a part of history—it’s a living treasure
that connects us with China’s rich culture. I believe it will become popular at
home and abroad with growing support from the youth.





( A )1. What challenge did Kunqu Opera face?
A. Young people showed less interest in it.

C. People had little chance to know about it.
D. It was hard to combine with modern technology.

B(2025 金华联考改编)★★★
  13-year-old Sarah sits in her yard, laying out her handmade crafts
(手工制品) on the table. There are baskets, flower pots, and cloth
bags—all made of recycled materials. They are not just creative objects;
they’re part of Sarah’s project to make a greener community.
  Two years ago, Sarah passed by a park near her house every day after
school. Plastic bottles, empty cans, and broken toys littered the roadside.
Seeing this, Sarah felt sad.





  One afternoon, Sarah noticed some kids selling orange juice at the
park. People stopped to buy it. That was when Sarah got an idea.
  “Mum, what if we sell handmade crafts?” she asked excitedly that
evening. “Then we can buy trees for our neighbourhood with the
money!”
  With her mum’s help, Sarah started making crafts with great interest,
using old boxes, plastic bottles and empty cans. Every day after school,
she sat in her yard, waiting for customers. At first, no one came. Sarah
felt down, but she didn’t give up.





  Later, people began to come. A kind woman bought a cloth bag,
saying it was perfect for shopping. Kids liked the flower pots, and one boy
even asked Sarah to make him a special basket for his toys. By the end of the
first month, Sarah had made $150! She bought 30 small trees. Together
with her parents, she planted the trees around the park and along the
sidewalks.





  Now, the neighbourhood looks nicer, and the birds have more places
to rest. Sarah even teaches her friends how to make eco-friendly(环保
的) crafts after school. They organize sales every month to raise money for
new projects like bird feeders.
  This year, Sarah shared her story at a local community event.
“Making a greener community is important,” she said proudly. “If
everyone helps a little, we can make our life better.” She believes that no
effort is too small when it comes to caring for the environment.

C (2025 福建改编)★★★
  As we often use eyes to touch nature, most of us “lose” the ability to
listen to the world.
  Peter writes music. He likes sounds and uses natural sounds as part of
his music. He often went out to the wild with his microphone and recorded
interesting sounds to put in movies or to use in his own songs. Instead of
trying to capture just the sound of one animal or bird, he recorded the sound
of everything altogether—the animals, the trees, the wind and the earth.
He called these recordings “soundscapes”—the sound of a certain place.
Every soundscape Peter recorded had a lot of information.





  Back in his workshop, Peter used a computer to make a picture of all
the sounds going on in a place. Each animal, bird and insect had its own
place on the picture—its own notes in the music. The busier the picture, the
richer the life in that place. “While a picture may be worth 1,000 words,
a soundscape is worth 1,000 pictures,” Peter said. “Our ears tell us the
sound of every leaf and animal and speak to the natural sources(来源) of
our lives, which may hold the secrets of love for all things, especially our
own humanity.”





  But not everything is satisfying. When Peter began recording over forty
years ago, he could record for ten hours and get one hour of usable material
good enough for a movie. Now, because of human activities, it can take
up to 1,000 hours or more to get the same thing. Some of the places he has
recorded over the years have slowly fallen silent. His sound pictures show
that although nature might look the same to humans, it has lost part of its
orchestra(管弦乐队).
  So next time you are in the forests, try another way to look—shut your
eyes, and listen.





( B )9. What does the underlined word “capture” in Paragraph 2
mean?
A. Shut. B. Catch. C. Touch. D. Check.
( D )10. What is a sound picture in the text?
A. The sound of every leaf and animal in nature.
B. The sound recorded in the natural environment.
C. A picture of music with sounds of 1,000 animals.
D. A picture of music with natural sounds in a place.
B
D





( C )11. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Recording sounds needs less material.
B. Sound pictures are the same as before.
C. Some beautiful sounds in nature are lost.
D. Human activities improve recording results.
C





( B )12. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Nature is the source of our future.
B. Nature has wonders to be heard.
C. Making music enriches our lives.
D. Making music needs information.

  Have you ever wondered whether bamboo is a tree or a kind of grass?
It is a kind of grass in the science of plant. Bamboo is really a wonder of
nature. This fast-growing plant can be seen everywhere and is widely used.





  Bamboo has got many advantages, leading to its common uses for
thousands of years. Bamboo is often used to produce daily products, such
as chairs, beds and tables. What’s more, bamboo can be made into a kind
of material for clothes. Bamboo can even be used as an excellent building
material because it grows fast and it is strong.





  Bamboo is easy to decay(腐烂), so people have to add chemicals
(化学物质) to make bamboo-based materials(竹基材料) stay for a
long time. But these chemicals are bad for the environment. Chinese
scientists have kept improving technologies to deal with this disadvantage.
Here is a good example. In 2016, a Chinese research team in Nanjing
began to work on new bamboo technologies. Later, the team succeeded in
developing a new bamboo technology.





  The new technology is a heat treatment. This treatment removes decay
-causing matters out of bamboo without adding chemicals that are harmful
to the environment. At the same time, the structure(结构) of bamboo is
well kept. As a result, new bamboo-based materials were produced and
chosen as an excellent building material to build the scenic platforms(观景
平台) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge—the world’s largest sea-
crossing bridge. Since the new bamboo-based materials were used on the
platforms, they have stood sunlight, seawater and even the natural
disasters. Now, the scenic platforms still remain as strong as ever.
Bamboo will play a more important role in people’s life.

1. Bamboo is a kind of in the of plant.

Dear friends,
  My name is Li Hua. As we know, we have only one earth. But in
recent years, many disasters happened on the earth and unusual weather
appeared very often. All these bad things were caused by the terrible
environment, but the terrible environment was caused by humans. As
students, what should we do?





  







    First, we need to spread some knowledge to protect our
environment. For example, we can give talks on how important the
environment is. It’s bad for our health to live in a bad environment.
Second, we’re supposed to save water and energy in our daily life.
Third, in order to reduce air pollution, it’s better to go to school by
bus, by bike or on foot. Fourth, the garbage can be divided into four
categories: recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. Before putting
the garbage into the dustbins, we should learn how to sort it.





  If we all keep doing these things, I believe the environment will be
better and better. Let’s try our best!
And we can use reusable bags instead of plastic bags. Last but not least,
no business, no killing. It should be noted that there are never wild
animals as food because they are part of the environment. It’s time for us
to protect wild animals.

Have you ever wondered whether bamboo is a tree or a kind of grass? It is a kind of grass in the science of plant. Bamboo is really a wonder of nature. This fast-growing plant can be seen everywhere and is widely used.
Bamboo has got many advantages , leading to its common uses for thousands of years. Bamboo is often used to produce daily products , such as chairs , beds and tables. What’s more , bamboo can be made into a kind of material for clothes. Bamboo can even be used as an excellent building material because it grows fast and it is strong.
Bamboo is easy to decay(腐烂), so people have to add chemicals (化学物质) to make bamboo-based materials(竹基材料) stay for a long time. But these chemicals are bad for the environment. Chinese scientists have kept improving technologies to deal with this disadvantage. Here is a good example. In 2016 , a Chinese research team in Nanjing began to work on new bamboo technologies. Later , the team succeeded in developing a new bamboo technology.
The new technology is a heat treatment. This treatment removes decay -causing matters out of bamboo without adding chemicals that are harmful to the environment. At the same time , the structure(结构) of bamboo is well kept. As a result , new bamboo-based materials were produced and chosen as an excellent building material to build the scenic platforms(观景平台) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge—the world’s largest sea- crossing bridge. Since the new bamboo-based materials were used on the platforms , they have stood sunlight , seawater and even the natural disasters. Now , the scenic platforms still remain as strong as ever.
Bamboo will play a more important role in people’s life.

My name is Li Hua. As we know , we have only one earth. But in recent years , many disasters happened on the earth and unusual weather appeared very often. All these bad things were caused by the terrible environment , but the terrible environment was caused by humans. As students , what should we do?
First, we need to spread some knowledge to protect our environment. For example, we can give talks on how important the environment is. It’s bad for our health to live in a bad environment.
Second, we’re supposed to save water and energy in our daily life.
Third, in order to reduce air pollution, it’s better to go to school by bus, by bike or on foot. Fourth, the garbage can be divided into four categories: recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. Before putting the garbage into the dustbins, we should learn how to sort it.
And we can use reusable bags instead of plastic bags. Last but not least,no business, no killing. It should be noted that there are never wild animals as food because they are part of the environment. It’s time for us to protect wild animals.

What makes an art form last for over 600 years? Kunqu Opera , one of China’s oldest and most beautiful traditional operas , has done just that. However , like many traditional Chinese art forms , Kunqu Opera once
faced challenges. Modern culture , like pop music and movies , took the centre stage , and fewer young people were interested in Kunqu Opera.
But things are changing now. With schools teaching traditional art and performers using social media , a new generation has started discovering the beauty ofKunqu Opera through online videos and live shows.

C (2025 福建改编)★★★
As we often use eyes to touch nature , most of us “lose ” the ability to listen to the world.
Peter writes music. He likes sounds and uses natural sounds as part of his music. He often went out to the wild with his microphone and recorded interesting sounds to put in movies or to use in his own songs. Instead of trying to capture just the sound of one animal or bird , he recorded the sound of everything altogether—the animals , the trees , the wind and the earth. He called these recordings “soundscapes ”—the sound of a certain place. Every soundscape Peter recorded had a lot of information.
Back in his workshop , Peter used a computer to make a picture of all the sounds going on in a place. Each animal , bird and insect had its own place on the picture—its own notes in the music. The busier the picture , the richer the life in that place. “While a picture may be worth l ,000 words , a soundscape is worth l ,000 pictures , ” Peter said. “Our ears tell us the sound of every leaf and animal and speak to the natural sources(来源) of our lives , which may hold the secrets of love for all things , especially our own humanity. ”
But not everything is satisfying. When Peter began recording over forty years ago , he could record for ten hours and get one hour of usable material good enough for a movie. Now , because of human activities , it can take up to 1 ,000 hours or more to get the same thing. Some of the places he has recorded over the years have slowly fallen silent. His sound pictures show that although nature might look the same to humans , it has lost part ofits orchestra(管弦乐队).
So next time you are in the forests , try another way to look—shut your eyes , and listen.
( B )9. What does the underlined word “capture ” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Shut. B. Catch. C. Touch. D. Check.
( D )10. What is a sound picture in the text?
A. The sound of every leaf and animal in nature.
B. The sound recorded in the natural environment.
C. A picture of music with sounds of l ,000 animals.
D. A picture of music with natural sounds in a place.
( C )11. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Recording sounds needs less material.
B. Sound pictures are the same as before.
C. Some beautiful sounds in nature are lost.
D. Human activities improve recording results.
( B )12. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Nature is the source of our future.
B. Nature has wonders to be heard.
C. Making music enriches our lives.
D. Making music needs information.
