三、阅读理解
Paper-cutting is one of the most popular traditional Chinese folk arts. It has a history of more than 1,500 years. People started to do paper-cutting in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Later, it became popular during the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Paper-cutting is usually made of red paper. Red is a symbol of good luck in Chinese culture. People often put paper-cuts on windows, doors and walls during festivals like the Spring Festival. They are also used for decoration at weddings and other happy events.
The themes of paper-cuts are usually about nature, animals, flowers and stories from Chinese history. For example, people often cut pictures of fish because "fish" sounds like "surplus" in Chinese, meaning having more than enough.

五、任务型阅读
Cultural heritage includes buildings, artworks, traditions and more. It is an important part of our history and helps us understand our ancestors' lives. However, many cultural heritage sites are facing problems like pollution, natural disasters and human damage.
In China, the government has made laws to protect cultural heritage. For example, the Great Wall is protected by strict rules. Visitors are not allowed to climb some parts of it to prevent damage. Also, many museums have been built to display artworks and historical objects, so that people can learn about them without touching the real ones.
Besides, it's not just the government's job to protect cultural heritage. Everyone can play a part. We can learn more about cultural heritage, tell others about its importance, and follow the rules when visiting heritage sites. For example, we shouldn't draw on ancient buildings or take away stones from historical sites.
Protecting cultural heritage is protecting our history and identity. It helps us keep our traditions alive and pass them on to future generations.

六、书面表达(参考范文)
Dear Tom,
Thanks for your letter. I'm glad to tell you about my favorite traditional Chinese art. My favorite is paper-cutting. It's a folk art with a history of over 1,500 years. People usually use red paper to cut beautiful pictures of animals, flowers or lucky symbols, which are often put up during festivals for good luck.
At our school, we have an Intangible Cultural Heritage Club. Every Friday afternoon, we learn paper-cutting from an old local artist. Last month, our school held an exhibition of our works, and many students and parents came to visit. It was really exciting to share our creations.
I'm looking forward to your reply and hope you can come to China to experience these wonderful arts one day.
Yours,
Li Hua
