Language is the bridge that
connects people everywhere. On April 20, people around the world celebrated the
United Nations Chinese Language Day. To mark the occasion, the UN Office at
Geneva, Switzerland, organized the first Chinese Language Video Festival
(CLVF).
Participants from 27
countries, including the US, the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, took
part in the one-hour special event, sharing their passion for the Chinese
language and culture through short videos. Over 340 video submissions (提交) told touching stories about a civilized,
modern and youthful China through participants' personal experiences in the
country.
Though some people find the
language difficult to learn, most find it to be rewarding.
For M. Yousaf from Pakistan,
learning Chinese gave him a better perspective (视角) and insight into the culture. "Learning Chinese is not just
learning a language. It's a language of one of the biggest populations in the
world,"Yousaf said. "If you know this language, you know the
civilization and mind of the people."
Of course the language itself
is unique, particularly considering it's tonal (音调的) foundation.
"Tones are important
because a lot of Chinese syllables (音节) sound similar or even the same - the tone changes their meaning," said Mike Fuksman, an
American living in Beijing.
Tо remember Chinese
characters, you can connect them with pictures and make some short stories. Many
people find it is important to use imagination when learning Chinese. For
example, the Chinese character for "tea" has some lines of grass, the
roof of a house and people drinking tea.
Learning any language comes
with benefits, particularly for those who are always looking to learn more.
Since some languages have
"loanwords (外来词)"from
Chinese, it may be easier for one to pick up Korean or Japanese after studying
Chinese. It helped me so much when I started learning Japanese," said
Yerdana.
26.What is the function of Paragraph 3
A.To tell the purpose of the festival.
B.To summarize the above paragraphs.
C.To introduce the following paragraphs.
D.To explain the events of the celebration.
27.How can learners remember Chinese characters according to the passage
A.Making notes. B.Practicing writing.
C.Living in China. D.Using imagination.
28.What is the benefit of learning Chinese according to Yerdana
A.Great help in learning Japanese.
B.Good development of learning ability.
C.A good understanding of the people.
D.A better insight into the Chinese culture.
29.What is the text mainly about
A.The method of learning Chinese.
B.How to write Chinese characters well.
C.The benefits of learning foreign cultures.
D.A new festival and some stories about learning Chinese.

Chinese Paper Cutting or Jianzhi is the first type of paper-cutting design, since paper was invented in China during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It's a unique visual art of Chinese handicrafts. The art form later spread to other parts of the world with different areas adopting their own cultural styles. After hundreds of years' development, now they've become a very popular means of decoration among country folks, especially women. The paper-cuts are also used to decorate doors and windows, and therefore they are sometimes referred to as "chuang hua", meaning window flowers. Paper-cuts are chiefly used as decorations. However, today, Chinese paper-cuts are also used for religious and ceremonial purposes, and they're buried with the dead and burned at funerals.
Chinese people believe the red paper-cuts on the door can bring good fortune and happiness to the whole family. The paper-cuts are more often seen during traditional Chinese festivals, particularly in Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival. They're also given as gifts to friends or other family members.
Paper-cuttings aren't produced by machine, but by hand. There're two methods of manufacture: one uses scissors, the other uses knives. Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers of paper o a relatively soft foundation. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the paper with a sharp knife he usually holds vertically (垂直地). The advantage of knife-cutting is that considerably more paper cuttings can be made in one operation than with scissor cuttings.
It's easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but difficult to master it with perfection. One must grasp the knife in an upright fashion and press evenly on the paper with some strength. Flexibility is required but any hesitation will damage the whole image.
People find hope and comfort in expressing wishes with paper-cutting. For instance, for a wedding ceremony, red paper-cuttings are a traditional decoration on the tea set, the dressing table glass, and on other furniture. A big red paper character "Xi" (happiness) is a traditional must on the newly-wed's (新婚夫妇) door.
30.What can we learn about paper-cuts
A.They vary from area to area.
B.They were invented by females.
C.They are mainly used as presents.
D.They can't be used in funerals.
31.What does the underlined word "motif" in paragraph 4 mean
A.Line. B.Pattern. C.Photo. D.Foundation.
32.What is the key to perfect knife cuttings
A.The type of knives. B.The knife skill.
C.The amount of paper. D.The quality of paper.
33.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Paper-cutting: Chinese Folk Art
B.Paper-cutting: Famous in China
C.Paper-cuts: Various in Different Culture
D.Paper-cuts: Widely Used in Ceremonies

30.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"It's a unique visual art of Chinese handicrafts. The art form later spread to other parts of the world with different areas adopting their own cultural styles."它是中国手工艺品中独特的视觉艺术。这种艺术形式后来传播到世界其他地区,不同地区采用了自己的文化风格。可知,剪纸因地区而异。故选A。
31.考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的"Following a pattern"按照一个图案;以及"with a sharp knife"用一把锋利的刀。可知,按照一个图案,艺术家用一把锋利的刀把图案切割到纸上。可推知划线词 motif是"图案,花样"之意,故选B。
32.考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段"It's easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but difficult to master it with perfection. One must grasp the knife in an upright fashion and press evenly on the paper with some strength.

33.考查标题归纳。根据第一段"Chinese Paper Cutting or Jianzhi is the first type of paper-cutting design, since paper was invented in China during the Eastern Han Dynasty."中国的剪纸是第一种剪纸设计,因为纸是在东汉时期在中国发明的;以及全文可知,本文介绍了中国的传统工艺——剪纸艺术。"剪纸:中国民间艺术"适合作本文标题。故选A。

Language is the bridge that
connects people everywhere. On April 20, people around the world celebrated the
United Nations Chinese Language Day. To mark the occasion, the UN Office at
Geneva, Switzerland, organized the first Chinese Language Video Festival
(CLVF).
Participants from 27
countries, including the US, the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, took
part in the one-hour special event, sharing their passion for the Chinese
language and culture through short videos. Over 340 video submissions (提交) told touching stories about a civilized,
modern and youthful China through participants' personal experiences in the
country.
Though some people find the
language difficult to learn, most find it to be rewarding.
For M. Yousaf from Pakistan,
learning Chinese gave him a better perspective (视角) and insight into the culture. "Learning Chinese is not just
learning a language. It's a language of one of the biggest populations in the
world,"Yousaf said. "If you know this language, you know the
civilization and mind of the people."
Of course the language itself
is unique, particularly considering it's tonal (音调的) foundation.
"Tones are important
because a lot of Chinese syllables (音节) sound similar or even the same - the tone changes their meaning," said Mike Fuksman, an
American living in Beijing.
Tо remember Chinese
characters, you can connect them with pictures and make some short stories. Many
people find it is important to use imagination when learning Chinese. For
example, the Chinese character for "tea" has some lines of grass, the
roof of a house and people drinking tea.
Learning any language comes
with benefits, particularly for those who are always looking to learn more.
Since some languages have
"loanwords (外来词)"from
Chinese, it may be easier for one to pick up Korean or Japanese after studying
Chinese. It helped me so much when I started learning Japanese," said
Yerdana.
26.What is the function of Paragraph 3
A.To tell the purpose of the festival.
B.To summarize the above paragraphs.
C.To introduce the following paragraphs.
D.To explain the events of the celebration.
27.How can learners remember Chinese characters according to the passage
A.Making notes. B.Practicing writing.
C.Living in China. D.Using imagination.
28.What is the benefit of learning Chinese according to Yerdana
A.Great help in learning Japanese.
B.Good development of learning ability.
C.A good understanding of the people.
D.A better insight into the Chinese culture.
29.What is the text mainly about
A.The method of learning Chinese.
B.How to write Chinese characters well.

Chinese Paper Cutting or Jianzhi is the first type of paper-cutting design, since paper was invented in China during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It's a unique visual art of Chinese handicrafts. The art form later spread to other parts of the world with different areas adopting their own cultural styles. After hundreds of years' development, now they've become a very popular means of decoration among country folks, especially women. The paper-cuts are also used to decorate doors and windows, and therefore they are sometimes referred to as "chuang hua", meaning window flowers. Paper-cuts are chiefly used as decorations. However, today, Chinese paper-cuts are also used for religious and ceremonial purposes, and they're buried with the dead and burned at funerals.
Chinese people believe the red paper-cuts on the door can bring good fortune and happiness to the whole family. The paper-cuts are more often seen during traditional Chinese festivals, particularly in Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival. They're also given as gifts to friends or other family members.
Paper-cuttings aren't produced by machine, but by hand. There're two methods of manufacture: one uses scissors, the other uses knives. Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers of paper o a relatively soft foundation. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the paper with a sharp knife he usually holds vertically (垂直地). The advantage of knife-cutting is that considerably more paper cuttings can be made in one operation than with scissor cuttings.
It's easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but difficult to master it with perfection. One must grasp the knife in an upright fashion and press evenly on the paper with some strength. Flexibility is required but any hesitation will damage the whole image.
People find hope and comfort in expressing wishes with paper-cutting. For instance, for a wedding ceremony, red paper-cuttings are a traditional decoration on the tea set, the dressing table glass, and on other furniture. A big red paper character "Xi" (happiness) is a traditional must on the newly-wed's (新婚夫妇) door.
