主题：蹴鞠
(2023·湖南长沙·联考一模改编)
短文导读：本文介绍了有关蹴鞠的发展以及相关历史。
读写综合
A. 回答问题
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题，并把答案写在横线上。
The FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022. But the love for soccer is still very much alive and well in Zibo, Shandong Province. Zibo is called “the home of soccer ball”. It's the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju. In 2004, cuju was accepted by FIFA—as the earliest form of soccer.
The Chinese character cu means to kick. Ju means an ancient type of leather ball. It has feathers (羽毛) inside. The ancient Chinese historical text Intrigues of the Warring States (《战国策》) says cuju was a form of entertainment among common people. But during the Han Dynasty, soldiers played cuju for army training. During the Tang Dynasty, women played cuju at the royal court(朝廷) for the entertainment of the emperors.
It entered the golden age in the Song Dynasty when it became popular among every class. Yet, the 2,000-year-old game slowly got out of people's lives during the Ming Dynasty.
Li Weipeng, 34, from Linzi District of Zibo, is a seventh-generation inheritor(传承人) of cuju. He has been practicing cuju skills for 18 years. Mastering different cuju skills is not easy. “At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling(颠) a ball. It was tiring,” Li told China Daily. He now can juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row.
Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li's job. The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi District. “Students show great interest in playing cuju. It encourages me to promote(推广) the ancient sport,” Li said.
1. Where did cuju first appear
_______________________________________________2. What does the Chinese character “ju” mean
______________________________________________________________________________________________

The Chinese character “ju”/ It means an ancient type of leather ball. / An ancient type of leather ball.

5. Who show great interest in playing cuju according to Li, players or students

阅读理解B
My Olympic volunteering journey started in September, 2021. I was excited as I was 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 Beijing Winter Olympics.
After getting trained through the Internet and spending two weeks in quarantine, 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 to their seats and answer their questions. I was wild with joy to 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(卢旺达的) 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 chance 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.
( )1. 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.
D. He liked traveling around.
A
( )2. What was the writer's duty as a volunteer
A. Guiding the teams to their places.
B. Cleaning the center after the games.

( )3. When could the writer learn more about Chinese New Year celebrations
A. In his work time.
B. Before he went home.
C. In his free time.
D. Before he became the volunteer.

A. The Chinese Spring Festival.

主题：中国古老武术——太极
短文导读：文章介绍了中国的一种古老的武术——太极，它也是中国文化的一个标志。
传统文化主题阅读理解
If you walk through a park in the morning or in the evening, you might see a lot of people doing very slow but beautiful exercise. In fact, they are doing Tai Chi.
“Tai Chi is an ancient martial art. It is a common kind of exercise in China. More than 100 million people in over 150 countries practice Tai Chi. Recently UNESCO has added Tai Chi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List(非遗名录). Many Tai Chi fans were happy to hear of it. This will make Tai Chi more popular around the world.
It's true that doing Tai Chi is good for our health. It can make us walk and move more freely and it can also make us stronger. Also it helps us to take deep and long breaths.
Tai Chi also pays attention to the harmony(协调) between yin and yang. It shows how the ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang: dark and light, soft and hard. As we see in the picture, a white spot (点)is in the black area and a black spot is in the white area. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow again in spring. Everything keeps changing—that is how the world works.
Tai Chi carries old Chinese philosophy(哲学), such as being in harmony with nature and using softness to beat hardness. It has become a symbol of Chinese culture.
