二、阅读理解
2．（2018·全国卷Ⅲ）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
C
While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said.
"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created," he said.
"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, "said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
（1）Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.
A．following the latest world trend B．getting international recognition
C．working harder than ever before D．relying on foreign architects
（2）What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most
A．Its hilly environment. B．Its large size.
C．Its unique style. D．Its diverse functions.
（3）What made Wang's architectural design a success
A．The mixture of different shapes. B．The balance of East and West.
C．The use of popular techniques. D．The harmony of old and new.
（4）What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang
A．Spread them to the world. B．Preserve them at museums.
C．Teach them in universities. D．Recreate them in practice.
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）D
（4）D
【解析】【分析】这是一篇人物传记，主要介绍了获得普利策奖的中国建筑师王澍的独特的建筑风格——他的建筑独具匠心，能够唤起往昔，却又不直接使用历史的元素。
（1）推理判断。根据题干中的winning of the prize将答案定位在第二段中的won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize，通过对本段的研读我们可知普利策奖是建筑届的诺贝尔奖，而他是第一个获得此荣誉的中国人，从而可以推断出王澍得到了世界的认可，故答案为B。
（2）推理判断。题干中的the CAA Xiangshan campus在第三段，但是与题干中的impressed most相对应的信息却在第四段中的Many visitors were amazed by ，所以通过认真研读第四段我们发现The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities和Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types可知中国美院香山校园以自己独一无二的风格给人留下很深的印象，故答案为C。
（3）细节理解。根据题干中的 Wang's architectural design可知应定为到第五段最后一句This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素)，所以他的设计成功的原因在于把现代艺术与传统中国元素结合起来，modern and traditional 即old and new，而mixture即harmony，故答案为D。
（4）推理判断。根据最后一段中The study of traditions should be combined with practice可知王澍主张对传统的研究应该与实践相结合，故答案为D。
【点评】这是一篇人物传记，介绍中国建筑师的建筑风格，答题时根据问题确定关键词，对关键词所在文字认真分析研读，找到与文章内容表达一致的选项即为答案。
（2024·昆明模拟）阅读理解
Many westerners find it so interesting that they always see Chinese people carry a vacuum(真空) cup no matter which season it is. If you go to a restaurant in western countries, they usually serve you a cup of cold water, sometimes even with ice. And every time when Chinese people ask the waiter if they can change to hot water, actually they may receive a strange look from the waiter or people nearby. Hot water Seriously Why do Chinese people drink hot water The answer may exist in the following aspects.
Actually, water quality became a matter of debate in the 1930s in China, when the water supplies were polluted. In order to prevent people from infectious diseases, the government suggested people drinking boiled water, because they considered it a way to kill off bacteria. They always boiled water daily and stored it in a kettle to keep the water warm for the day. Even now, you can find hot water devices everywhere, in schools, factories, and government departments across the country.
Besides, it is well known that Chinese people prefer hot meals every day. Therefore, some parents always teach their children to drink hot water with meals, because they think mixing cold liquids with hot meals is really bad for the stomach, and cold liquids may solidify fats in your stomach, which can cause digestive problems, while hot liquids aid in digestion.
According to the traditional Chinese medicine, health is due to an internal balance of Yin and Yang. In the Yin-Yang theory, water is Yin-type while hot stuff is Yang-type, drinking hot water can enrich Yin and tonify(滋补)Yang in your body, keeping Yin and Yang in banlance. If you have cold symptoms(症状) or other Yin-type imbalances such as frequent chills, thirst, depression or sleepiness, hot water plays the role of the Yang and brings your body back into balance. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine always tell patients to drink more hot water.

7．（2020·安徽模拟）阅读理解
When film was first invented in the
late 1800s and early 1900s, movie-goers could actually see images of far-away
places, like China, and that fueled interest in the area. Throughout history,
many Chinese Americans are devoted in this area. Now, the back room of the
Formosa Cafe looks like a museum that honors the works of Chinese Americans and
their contributions to Hollywood. Chinese stereotypes (刻板印象)
Stereotypes of the Chinese in America were strengthened by
the otherness of U. S. China towns in the late 1800s and early 1900s. There was
an idea that the Chinese was the "yellow peril", who you couldn't
trust. And that resulted in the character called Fu Manchu. Fu Manchu was an
evil character who wanted to destroy the western world. He appeared in movies
and in a television series.
In 1926, Charlie Chan, a Chinese investigator from Hawaii,
appeared for the first time in a movie. This created a different, yet still
problematic Asian stereotype.
Yellow
face" actors
Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu may have been Chinese characters,
but the actors were usually white men made up to look like Asian. Actors Sidney
Toler, Roland Winters and Ross Martin all played Charlie Chan. Yellow face meant
they actually yellowed up their skin. White actors just played the lead
characters in The Good Earth, a 1937 film about Chinese farmers. Asian
actors had parts in the film, but they needed bankable actors, however, there
were no Asian American bankable actors.
China
factors
Over the years, Asian and Chinese Americans did find work in
Hollywood, and a few earned a star on the Hollywood Walk for Fame. Hollywood is
also changing the way it presents the Chinese culture. As the biggest market
for movies outside the U. S, Hollywood has been making films that will not
offend movie-goers in China or the country's government. The industry has been
careful not to show the Chinese as evil. Co-productions between Hollywood and
Chinese companies put Chinese characters and China in a favorable or
satisfactory way.
（1）Why is the back room of the Formosa Caf6 mentioned
A．To show appreciation for Chinese American filmmakers.
B．To display the richness of Chinese American films.
C．To attract more customers to enjoy coffee in the Formosa Caf6.
D．To recommend a place to mover-goers to learn Chinese American films.
（2）What can be known about Charlie Chan
A．He could be found in a TV series.
B．He was an actor bearing evil reputation.
C．He represented investigators from Hawaii.
D．He wasn't much appreciated by movie-goers then.
（3）What can be concluded about Chinese American films
A．Chinese actors were preferred in casting Chinese roles.
B．They focused on evil Chinese eager to ruin America.
C．China factors are positively viewed in them.
D．They have been introducing Chinese stereotypes.
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国电影发展史上的中国元素，突出强调电影中的中国角色，随着时代的变迁已有了根本的改变，中国元素得到美国电影界的尊重。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Throughout history, many Chinese Americans are devoted in this area. Now, the back room of the Formosa Cafe looks like a museum that honors the works of Chinese Americans and their contributions to Hollywood.”纵观历史，许多华裔美国人都致力于这一领域。现在，Formosa Cafe的陈列室看起来像是一个纪念华裔美国人作品及其对好莱坞贡献的博物馆。)可知通过列举Formosa Cafe的陈列室来表达对华裔美国电影人的努力的赞赏之情。故选A。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“There was an idea that the Chinese was the ‘yellow peril', who you couldn't trust.及In 1926, Charlie Chan, a Chinese investigator from Hawaii, appeared for the first time in a movie. This created a different, yet still problematic Asian stereotype.”有一种观念认为华人是“黄祸”，你不能相信他们。1926年，来自夏威夷的中国调查员Charlie Chan首次出现在一部电影中。这创造了一个不同的，但仍然有问题存在的亚洲刻板印象。可知Charlie Chan在当时仍然属于对亚洲人的刻板印象的角色，为不受人欢迎的角色，故选D。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu may have been Chinese characters, but the actors were usually white men made up to look like Asian.”可知当时是美国本土人演中国角色，故A项排除；B项出处为Fu Manchu这一具体角色特征，不能以点代面；根据最后一段中的“Hollywood has been making films that will not offend movie goers in China or the country's government. The industry has been careful not to show the Chinese as evil.”好莱坞一直在制作不会冒犯中国或中国政府的电影。这个行业一直小心翼翼，不把中国人展示为是邪恶的形象。可知美国电影人不会在电影里冒犯中国，他们对中国人的印象已经有了很大的改观，所以D项排除，故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

Recently a growing
number of foreign universities, such as the University of Cambridge, are accepting
China's gaokao results as one of their admission standards. Is the Chinese
college entrance exam being recognized globally Forum readers share their
opinions:
Cecilia Zhang (China)
The gaokao is a really
tough exam. If possible, it can be used as one of the indicators(指标) for foreign universities, in addition to other indicators, such as
how well they speak the target language. The students, who perform well in the
gaokao, also have the ability to successfully adapt to Western styles of
education. I believe accepting the gaokao as an indicator is a win-win for Chinese
students and overseas universities.
Wchao 37 (US)
In fact gaokao is
perhaps much more difficult than the SAT or ACT exams. You can get a perfect score
of 1600 on the SAT but not in the gaokao, partly because the SAT is a
machine-scored multiple-choice exam. Do you know anyone that has ever achieved
a perfect score in the gaokao
Harry 01 (UK)
Hundreds of students
from China have entered universities in the UK using their gaokao scores, which
require that their knowledge of English be above a certain level This measure
has benefited specific groups of students from various backgrounds in China.
Mbursian (Canada)
In order to attend a
university in an English-speaking country, a student needs to have an acceptable
band score on the IELTS. Most importantly, students need an acceptable
knowledge of the language spoken in any country they plan to study in. Now the
Chinese gaokao is closer to meeting the requirements of different countries.
8．Who believes accepting the Chinese gaokao benefits both native students and universities abroad
A．Cecilia Zhang. B．Wchao 37.
C．Harry 01. D．Mbursian.
9．What is most important for Chinese students planning to study abroad
A．The IELTS score. B．Enough test preparation.
C．The Chinese gaokao score. D．Knowledge of the native language.
10．What does the text intend to tell the readers
A．The gaokao will replace other tests.
B．The gaokao is becoming globally accepted.
C．The gaokao is the most difficult of all tests.
D．The University of Cambridge made a good decision.
【答案】8．A
9．D
10．B

8．考查细节理解。根据 Cecilia Zhang (China) 部分中的“I believe accepting the gaokao as an indicator is a win-win for Chinese students and overseas universities.”我认为接受高考作为一个指标对中国学生和海外大学来说是双赢的。可知，Cecilia Zhang认为接受高考是双赢的。故选A。
9．考查细节理解。根据 Mbursian (Canada) 部分中的“Most importantly, students need an acceptable knowledge of the language spoken in any country they plan to study in.”最重要的是，学生需要对他们计划在任何国家学习的语言有一个可接受的知识。可知，对于计划出国留学的中国学生来说，当地语言知识是最重要的。故选D。
10．考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“Recently a growing number of foreign universities, such as the University of Cambridge, are accepting China's gaokao results as one of their admission standards. Is the Chinese college entrance exam being recognized globally ”最近，越来越多的外国大学，如剑桥大学，将中国的高考成绩作为录取标准之一。中国的高考是否得到了全球的认可 以及文章主要内容可知，围绕着高考正逐渐被全球接受展开。故选B。
（2023·模拟）阅读理解
The Chinese new year begins on 22 January, 2023 and lasts until 9 February, 2024. While most of Asia celebrates the year of the rabbit, Vietnam celebrates the year of the cat. In the Chinese zodiac(十二生肖), there are 12 animals, and the 4th animal is the rabbit; while in the Vietnamese zodiac, the 4th position is occupied by the cat. How the cat covered for the rabbit in Vietnam's zodiac is still the subject of debate.
It was said the Jade Emperor organized a race across a river for all the animals in the world. The first 12 to reach the other side would appear in the zodiac. In the Chinese version of the story, the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water. The rat won the race, turning the two animals into enemies. That is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. However, in the Vietnamese version—which did not have a rabbit—the cat could swim and ended up arriving.
One possible explanation for replacing rabbit with cat might have to do with language. In old Chinese, there is a word tied to the sign of the rabbit that is pronounced mao(卵). The pronunciation is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat.
Quyen Di, a lecturer at UCLA, said the custom has to do with the landscape of Vietnam. "Initially, the Chinese lived in the savanna(稀树草原) area, while the Vietnamese lived in the lowland area. The people of the savanna prefer a nomadic life, close to the wilderness, and they chose the rabbit as an animal that lived in the wild fields. In contrast, the lowland people of Vietnam consider rabbits as animals that are used for food and chose the cat because they believe cats are friends living in their house.
This year, many Vietnamese are buying new cat-themed cases for their mobile phones. And one of the top Google searches in Vietnam is "why there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac".
11．What does the underlined phrase "covered for" in paragraph 1 refer to
A．took charge of. B．fought for.
C．took the place of. D．depended on.
12．What can we learn from the Vietnamesc zodiac story

14．D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了越南生肖与中国生肖的区别，重点介绍了猫和兔子。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
11．考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的"In the Chinese zodiac (十二生肖), there are 12 animals, and the 4th animal is the rabbit; while in the Vietnamese zodiac, the 4th position is occupied by the cat. "在中国的十二生肖中，有12种动物，第四种是兔子；而在越南十二生肖中，第四位是猫。可知，与中国的12生肖中第4位是兔子不同的是，在越南的12生肖中，第4位是猫，即：兔的位置被猫代替了，由此可推测covered for意思为"取代，代替"。故选C。
12．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"In the Chinese version of the story, the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water. The rat won the race, turning the two animals into enemies. That is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. However, in the Vietnamese version — which did not have a rabbit — the cat could swim and ended up arriving. "在中文版的故事中，当老鼠把猫推入水中时，猫和老鼠骑着牛过河时，老鼠把猫推入了水中。老鼠赢得了比赛，这将两只动物变成了敌人。这就是为什么从那以后猫一直在猎杀老鼠。然而，在越南版本中——没有兔子——猫可以游泳并最终到达。可知，由于在越南的生肖中没有兔子，所以猫游过河并获得了第四名。故选C。
13．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"In contrast, the lowland people of Vietnam consider rabbits as animals that are used for food and chose the cat because they believe cats are friends living in their house. "相比之下，越南的低地人认为兔子是用来做食物的动物，他们选择猫是因为他们认为猫是住在他们家的朋友。可知，越南人在选择生肖中的动物时，猫的选择受到了他们的生存环境的影响。生活在低地区的人认为兔子是可以用来作为食品的动物，而猫则是作为他们家里的朋友而存在的动物。故选A。
14．考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，文章介绍了越南生肖与中国生肖的区别，重点介绍了猫和兔子。文章提供了关于越南猫年起源的信息，并探讨了替换的可能原因。"越南猫年的起源"符合做本文的标题。故选D。
三、任务型阅读
15．（2018·莆田模拟）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you got sick, did your parents and doctors make you drink a "terrible soup" , but it can really make you feel better in several days. The "soup" is actually a kind of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

They also teach TCM knowledge to local people. Now, there are over 100,000 TCM clinics, with about 300,000 TCM workers around the world.
TCM came from China thousands of years ago. It is based on the Chinese philosophy (哲学) of yin and yang.
Humans should follow the natural rules to stay healthy. Old Greece and Egypt created western medicine. . Western doctors check people's height, weight, blood pressure and body temperature.
. "Bringing together western medicine and TCM can use collective knowledge, rather than create competition between them. It can develop the great effects of both of them," said Bernhard Schwartlander, a World Health Organization representative in China.
On Dec 6, a government document reported that 86 countries and regions are now developing TCM together with China. In 2015, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize. . Today, with more and people paying attention to TCM, it will definitely have a bright future.
A. Let's see some facts and figures
B. It might be a bad drinking experience
C. It is difficult to compare which one is better
D. Then the idea took shape in Europe in the 19th century
E. There are many women of great achievements in history
F. Many people believe western medicine is more effective than TCM
G. It's because she made an important drug using traditional Chinese medicine
【答案】B；A；D；C；G
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中药和西药的发展历史及其治疗依据。中西药应当结合起来治疗病人;并且文中还介绍了目前中药正被世界各国越来越重视。
（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“ but it can really make you feel better in several days.”可知该空应是表达“虽然这种汤味道难喝”;但是几天后，会让你康复。B. It might be a bad drinking experience“喝这种汤是一种很糟的经历”符合题意，故选B。
（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“China has 10 TCM centers abroad, such as in France and the United States. Doctors give TCM treatment to local people there. They also teach TCM knowledge to local people. Now, there are over 100,000 TCM clinics, with about 300,000 TCM workers around the world.”，下文是用事实和数据来证明中药在全世界的受欢迎的程度。故A. Let's see some facts and figures“咱们来看一下一些事实和一些数据”符合语境，故选A。
（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“ TCM came from China thousands of years ago”可知，上文介绍中药的发展历史和药效原理，下文介绍的是西药，但是缺少对西药的历史介绍;故D. Then the idea took shape in Europe in the 19th century“西药是19世纪在欧洲形成的”符合上下文逻辑。故选D。
（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Bringing together western medicine and TCM can use collective knowledge, rather than create competition between them. It can develop the great effects of both of them,”“把中药和西药结合起来使用，而不是相互竞争”可反推该空表达的是两种药的比较;C. It is difficult to compare which one is better“很难比较哪种药物更好”符合逻辑，故选C。
（5）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“ Chinese scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize”可知屠呦呦获诺贝尔奖，所以下文应该讲获奖原因和中药的关系。故G. It's because she made an important drug using traditional Chinese medicine“那是因为她用传统中药发明了一种非常重要的药物”符合上下文逻辑。故选G。
【点评】本题要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

21．句意：他们想要寻找的是一个心灵的精神世界，在这个世界里，大自然恰好提供了基本的元素。 nature provides exactly basic elements nature provides exactly basic elements是限制性定语从句，先行词是a spiritual world，在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。

C
While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said.
"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created," he said.
"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, "said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
（1）Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.
A．following the latest world trend B．getting international recognition
C．working harder than ever before D．relying on foreign architects
（2）What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most
A．Its hilly environment. B．Its large size.
C．Its unique style. D．Its diverse functions.
（3）What made Wang's architectural design a success
A．The mixture of different shapes. B．The balance of East and West.
C．The use of popular techniques. D．The harmony of old and new.
（4）What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang
A．Spread them to the world. B．Preserve them at museums.
C．Teach them in universities. D．Recreate them in practice.

Many westerners find it so interesting that they always see Chinese people carry a vacuum(真空) cup no matter which season it is. If you go to a restaurant in western countries, they usually serve you a cup of cold water, sometimes even with ice. And every time when Chinese people ask the waiter if they can change to hot water, actually they may receive a strange look from the waiter or people nearby. Hot water Seriously Why do Chinese people drink hot water The answer may exist in the following aspects.
Actually, water quality became a matter of debate in the 1930s in China, when the water supplies were polluted. In order to prevent people from infectious diseases, the government suggested people drinking boiled water, because they considered it a way to kill off bacteria. They always boiled water daily and stored it in a kettle to keep the water warm for the day. Even now, you can find hot water devices everywhere, in schools, factories, and government departments across the country.
Besides, it is well known that Chinese people prefer hot meals every day. Therefore, some parents always teach their children to drink hot water with meals, because they think mixing cold liquids with hot meals is really bad for the stomach, and cold liquids may solidify fats in your stomach, which can cause digestive problems, while hot liquids aid in digestion.
According to the traditional Chinese medicine, health is due to an internal balance of Yin and Yang. In the Yin-Yang theory, water is Yin-type while hot stuff is Yang-type, drinking hot water can enrich Yin and tonify(滋补)Yang in your body, keeping Yin and Yang in banlance. If you have cold symptoms(症状) or other Yin-type imbalances such as frequent chills, thirst, depression or sleepiness, hot water plays the role of the Yang and brings your body back into balance. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine always tell patients to drink more hot water.

When film was first invented in the
late 1800s and early 1900s, movie-goers could actually see images of far-away
places, like China, and that fueled interest in the area. Throughout history,
many Chinese Americans are devoted in this area. Now, the back room of the
Formosa Cafe looks like a museum that honors the works of Chinese Americans and
their contributions to Hollywood. Chinese stereotypes (刻板印象)
Stereotypes of the Chinese in America were strengthened by
the otherness of U. S. China towns in the late 1800s and early 1900s. There was
an idea that the Chinese was the "yellow peril", who you couldn't
trust. And that resulted in the character called Fu Manchu. Fu Manchu was an
evil character who wanted to destroy the western world. He appeared in movies
and in a television series.
In 1926, Charlie Chan, a Chinese investigator from Hawaii,
appeared for the first time in a movie. This created a different, yet still
problematic Asian stereotype.
Yellow
face" actors
Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu may have been Chinese characters,
but the actors were usually white men made up to look like Asian. Actors Sidney
Toler, Roland Winters and Ross Martin all played Charlie Chan. Yellow face meant
they actually yellowed up their skin. White actors just played the lead
characters in The Good Earth, a 1937 film about Chinese farmers. Asian
actors had parts in the film, but they needed bankable actors, however, there
were no Asian American bankable actors.
China
factors
Over the years, Asian and Chinese Americans did find work in
Hollywood, and a few earned a star on the Hollywood Walk for Fame. Hollywood is
also changing the way it presents the Chinese culture. As the biggest market
for movies outside the U. S, Hollywood has been making films that will not
offend movie-goers in China or the country's government. The industry has been
careful not to show the Chinese as evil. Co-productions between Hollywood and
Chinese companies put Chinese characters and China in a favorable or
satisfactory way.
（1）Why is the back room of the Formosa Caf6 mentioned
A．To show appreciation for Chinese American filmmakers.
B．To display the richness of Chinese American films.
C．To attract more customers to enjoy coffee in the Formosa Caf6.
D．To recommend a place to mover-goers to learn Chinese American films.
（2）What can be known about Charlie Chan
A．He could be found in a TV series.
B．He was an actor bearing evil reputation.
C．He represented investigators from Hawaii.
D．He wasn't much appreciated by movie-goers then.
（3）What can be concluded about Chinese American films
A．Chinese actors were preferred in casting Chinese roles.
B．They focused on evil Chinese eager to ruin America.
C．China factors are positively viewed in them.
D．They have been introducing Chinese stereotypes.

Recently a growing
number of foreign universities, such as the University of Cambridge, are accepting
China's gaokao results as one of their admission standards. Is the Chinese
college entrance exam being recognized globally Forum readers share their
opinions:
Cecilia Zhang (China)
The gaokao is a really
tough exam. If possible, it can be used as one of the indicators(指标) for foreign universities, in addition to other indicators, such as
how well they speak the target language. The students, who perform well in the
gaokao, also have the ability to successfully adapt to Western styles of
education. I believe accepting the gaokao as an indicator is a win-win for Chinese
students and overseas universities.
Wchao 37 (US)
In fact gaokao is
perhaps much more difficult than the SAT or ACT exams. You can get a perfect score
of 1600 on the SAT but not in the gaokao, partly because the SAT is a
machine-scored multiple-choice exam. Do you know anyone that has ever achieved
a perfect score in the gaokao
Harry 01 (UK)
Hundreds of students
from China have entered universities in the UK using their gaokao scores, which
require that their knowledge of English be above a certain level This measure
has benefited specific groups of students from various backgrounds in China.
Mbursian (Canada)
In order to attend a
university in an English-speaking country, a student needs to have an acceptable
band score on the IELTS. Most importantly, students need an acceptable
knowledge of the language spoken in any country they plan to study in. Now the
Chinese gaokao is closer to meeting the requirements of different countries.
8．Who believes accepting the Chinese gaokao benefits both native students and universities abroad
A．Cecilia Zhang. B．Wchao 37.
C．Harry 01. D．Mbursian.
9．What is most important for Chinese students planning to study abroad
A．The IELTS score. B．Enough test preparation.
C．The Chinese gaokao score. D．Knowledge of the native language.
10．What does the text intend to tell the readers
A．The gaokao will replace other tests.
B．The gaokao is becoming globally accepted.
C．The gaokao is the most difficult of all tests.
D．The University of Cambridge made a good decision.

The Chinese new year begins on 22 January, 2023 and lasts until 9 February, 2024. While most of Asia celebrates the year of the rabbit, Vietnam celebrates the year of the cat. In the Chinese zodiac(十二生肖), there are 12 animals, and the 4th animal is the rabbit; while in the Vietnamese zodiac, the 4th position is occupied by the cat. How the cat covered for the rabbit in Vietnam's zodiac is still the subject of debate.
It was said the Jade Emperor organized a race across a river for all the animals in the world. The first 12 to reach the other side would appear in the zodiac. In the Chinese version of the story, the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water. The rat won the race, turning the two animals into enemies. That is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. However, in the Vietnamese version—which did not have a rabbit—the cat could swim and ended up arriving.
One possible explanation for replacing rabbit with cat might have to do with language. In old Chinese, there is a word tied to the sign of the rabbit that is pronounced mao(卵). The pronunciation is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat.
Quyen Di, a lecturer at UCLA, said the custom has to do with the landscape of Vietnam. "Initially, the Chinese lived in the savanna(稀树草原) area, while the Vietnamese lived in the lowland area. The people of the savanna prefer a nomadic life, close to the wilderness, and they chose the rabbit as an animal that lived in the wild fields. In contrast, the lowland people of Vietnam consider rabbits as animals that are used for food and chose the cat because they believe cats are friends living in their house.
This year, many Vietnamese are buying new cat-themed cases for their mobile phones. And one of the top Google searches in Vietnam is "why there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac".
11．What does the underlined phrase "covered for" in paragraph 1 refer to
A．took charge of. B．fought for.
C．took the place of. D．depended on.
12．What can we learn from the Vietnamesc zodiac story
A．The Jade Emperor showed favor to the cat.
B．The rabbit fell into the river in the zodiac race.
C．The cat finished fourth by swimming across the river.
D．The rat and the rabbit were enemies in ancient times.
13．According to Quyen Di, what made the Vietnamese choose the cat
A．Their living environment.
B．Their language pronunciation.
C．Their lifestyle of raising cats as pets.
D．Their custom of hunting rabbits for food.
14．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．The History of the Chinese Zodiac
B．Ways of Celebrating the Year of the Rabbit
C．The Popularity of Chinese Traditional Culture
D．The Origin of the Year of the Cat in Vietnam
