With a sweet smell coming from the pot, Tsewang, 74, stirred the soup ladle from time to time at her Singpori home. She was cooking “gutu”, a kind of soup made of flour and a traditional dish for the night of the 29th of the12th month in the Tibetan calendar.

It is the third Tibetan New Year for Yuan Yubing from Shanghai. Yuan came to Tibet to learn Thangka painting in 2017 and married Losang Samkhar, her studio teacher, the following year.
“I was more of a spectator when I first celebrated the festival,” Yuan said. But after years of living here, Yuan has already known all kinds of customs of the Tibetan New Year.
Yuan and her mother-in-law have cleaned up the windows at home, and all the New Year’s goods are ready. She has even replaced her mother-in-law to cook for the family for New Year’s Eve. “Coming to Tibet makes me feel that my heart has found a home,” she said.

（2022 秋·高一单元测试）While most TV stations try to attract viewers by producing reality shows, Henan TV has become famous by promoting ( 推广) traditional culture through Chinese dance. Henan TV produced several dance pieces introducing traditional culture for traditional festivals, such as Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess (《洛神水赋》), an underwater dance for the Dragon Boat Festival, and Guardian Warriors of Longmen (《龙门金刚 》), a dance piece supported by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes(石窟).
“These pieces have got nearly 30 billion hits,” says Yao Wei, vice director of Henan TV. “It’s a huge success for Henan TV.”

（2023 春·陕西宝鸡·高一统考期末）When you think of America, what symbols come to your mind first
Perhaps one of the most famous symbols of the US is fast food. Fast-food restaurants became popular when people began driving cars around the country. Many of the earliest fast-food restaurants were drive-ins where people ate in their cars while they were parked. However now drive-throughs have become popular because people need to keep up with the speed of modern life. With a drive-through, you can just drive up to a window, pick up the food, and then drive away. About 20% of all American meals are eaten in the car, and Americans spend about 10% of their income on fast food. No wonder America is called the “Fast-Food Nation”!
When it comes to seeing a game in person, baseball is by far the most popular sport in America. In a typical year, more people attend baseball games than football and basketball games combined. And for most people, baseball is “America’s game” in a way that football and basketball are not, because it is a special symbol of the American spirit. For one thing, while baseball is a team sport, every player can be a hero or star. For another, almost anyone can play baseball, even if you do not have great skills or ability. Finally, there is nothing more American than eating a hot dog while watching a baseball game on a hot summer afternoon. Baseball still is the “national pastime” .
Jazz is often called “America’s music” . It is a music style completely created in the Unite States by African American musicians. Jazz music broke through the colour barriers, and has become a key part of American culture. One early jazz pioneer was the trumpet player Louis Armstrong (1901-1971). Perhaps more than any other person, Armstrong helped spread jazz beyond its home in New Orleans to the rest of the United States, and to the world. Jazz musicians freelly make up their own music to express their own feelings, even while playing in a group. This freedom and individuality make jazz a popular symbol of America.
There are many other symbols of America, such as the Statue of Liberty, Hollywood, and Broadway. These are but a few symbols that show something of American culture.
20 ．Which of the following is not a cultural symbol of America
A ．The dragon B ．Baseball C ．Jazz music D ．Hollywood
21 ．When did fast food get popular in the USA
A ．When Louis Armstrong spread jazz to the rest of America.
B ．When people watched a baseball game.
C ．When people began driving cars around the country.

C ．it can show how strong you are when you play it
D ．people can meet their friends when they go to a baseball game 23 ．With jazz a musician can express their own .

（2023 春·广东揭阳·高一统考期末）Weekends are a time to relax and a chance to leave your work behind and have some me time instead. But working from home has tended to blur ( 模糊) the lines between people’s personal space and workspace and many people are feeling stressed by the middle of the week. That’s why accepting the Swedish tradition of lill rdag or “little Saturday” might be the answer to getting through the week.
This midweek celebration isn’t a vacation day; it’s more like a pause or break after work on Wednesdays to do something like enjoying a meal with your family or just watching an interesting TV show. “You let yourself enjoy something,” said Hanna Hedenius living in Stockholm. “You can see people celebrating on social media. On Instagram, you’ll see a picture of a glass of wine and some cheese, or ice cream, on Wednesday because people have a reason just to do it.”
There’s a national radio show that plays popular music on Wednesdays and there’s a podcast with topics that connect to the celebration of “little Saturday”. While not every Swede practices lill rdag, most do see the pause as a way of getting through the workweek.
Self-care is important for people’s body and mind. Paula Gill Lopez, a professor of Fairfield University in Connecticut, told Everyday Health that the need for self-care is conspicuous. “We have an epidemic of anxiety and depression,” she said. “Everybody feels it.”
Self-care and wellness activities can range from eating healthy foods, to exercising, to taking time to relax. Many people don’t make time to care for themselves and that’s where lill rdag comes in.
“Something like lill rdag can be quite wise in helping people relax,” said Constanze Leineweber, associate professor at the Stress Research Institute of Stockholm University. “You can become encouraged with smaller goals within the week which you can reach and get a reward for.”
So if you’re feeling stressed, have a happy lill rdag!
27 ．Why may people use lill rdag as a way to get through a week
A ．They are under a lot of pressure at work.
B ．They want more time to work from home.
C ．They are easily affected by Swedish culture. D ．They want chances to share their workspace.
28 ．What does Hanna Hedenius mainly talk about in Paragraph 2
A ．The origin of lill rdag. B ．The requirements of lill rdag.
C ．The importance of lill rdag. D ．The celebrations of lill rdag.
29 ．What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Paragraph 4 mean
A ．Amazing. B ．Different. C ．Obvious. D ．Possible.
30 ．What’s Constanze Leineweber’s attitude towards lill rdag
A ．Approving. B ．Uncaring. C ．Doubtful. D ．Dismissive.

（2023 春·重庆·高一统考期末）The 2023 Tibetan New Year falls on Feb 21, almost a month after the Spring Festival.

Just like the Spring Festival, the Tibetan New Year marks the perfect opportunity for Tibetans to reunite with their relatives and friends.

It is the third Tibetan New Year for Yuan Yubing from Shanghai. Yuan came to Tibet to learn Thangka painting in 2017 and married Losang Samkhar, her studio teacher, the following year.
“I was more of a spectator when I first celebrated the festival,” Yuan said. But after years of living here, Yuan has already known all kinds of customs of the Tibetan New Year.
Yuan and her mother-in-law have cleaned up the windows at home, and all the New Year’s goods are ready. She has even replaced her mother-in-law to cook for the family for New Year’s Eve. “Coming to Tibet makes me feel that my heart has found a home,” she said.

（2022 秋·高一单元测试）While most TV stations try to attract viewers by producing reality shows, Henan TV has become famous by promoting ( 推广) traditional culture through Chinese dance. Henan TV produced several dance pieces introducing traditional culture for traditional festivals, such as Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess (《洛神水赋》), an underwater dance for the Dragon Boat Festival, and Guardian Warriors of Longmen (《龙门金刚 》), a dance piece supported by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes(石窟).

（2023 春·陕西宝鸡·高一统考期末）When you think of America, what symbols come to your mind first
Perhaps one of the most famous symbols of the US is fast food. Fast-food restaurants became popular when people began driving cars around the country. Many of the earliest fast-food restaurants were drive-ins where people ate in their cars while they were parked. However now drive-throughs have become popular because people need to keep up with the speed of modern life. With a drive-through, you can just drive up to a window, pick up the food, and then drive away. About 20% of all American meals are eaten in the car, and Americans spend about 10% of their income on fast food. No wonder America is called the “Fast-Food Nation”!
When it comes to seeing a game in person, baseball is by far the most popular sport in America. In a typical year, more people attend baseball games than football and basketball games combined. And for most people, baseball is “America’s game” in a way that football and basketball are not, because it is a special symbol of the American spirit. For one thing, while baseball is a team sport, every player can be a hero or star. For another, almost anyone can play baseball, even if you do not have great skills or ability. Finally, there is nothing more American than eating a hot dog while watching a baseball game on a hot summer afternoon. Baseball still is the “national pastime” .
Jazz is often called “America’s music” . It is a music style completely created in the Unite States by African American musicians. Jazz music broke through the colour barriers, and has become a key part of American culture. One early jazz pioneer was the trumpet player Louis Armstrong (1901-1971). Perhaps more than any other person, Armstrong helped spread jazz beyond its home in New Orleans to the rest of the United States, and to the world. Jazz musicians freelly make up their own music to express their own feelings, even while playing in a group. This freedom and individuality make jazz a popular symbol of America.
There are many other symbols of America, such as the Statue of Liberty, Hollywood, and Broadway. These are but a few symbols that show something of American culture.
20 ．Which of the following is not a cultural symbol of America
A ．The dragon B ．Baseball C ．Jazz music D ．Hollywood
21 ．When did fast food get popular in the USA
A ．When Louis Armstrong spread jazz to the rest of America.
B ．When people watched a baseball game.
C ．When people began driving cars around the country.
D ．When drive-throughs became popular.

C ．it can show how strong you are when you play it
D ．people can meet their friends when they go to a baseball game 23 ．With jazz a musician can express their own .

The Edinburgh International Festival

（2023 春·广东揭阳·高一统考期末）Weekends are a time to relax and a chance to leave your work behind and have some me time instead. But working from home has tended to blur ( 模糊) the lines between people’s personal space and workspace and many people are feeling stressed by the middle of the week. That’s why accepting the Swedish tradition of lill rdag or “little Saturday” might be the answer to getting through the week.
This midweek celebration isn’t a vacation day; it’s more like a pause or break after work on Wednesdays to do something like enjoying a meal with your family or just watching an interesting TV show. “You let yourself enjoy something,” said Hanna Hedenius living in Stockholm. “You can see people celebrating on social media. On Instagram, you’ll see a picture of a glass of wine and some cheese, or ice cream, on Wednesday because people have a reason just to do it.”
There’s a national radio show that plays popular music on Wednesdays and there’s a podcast with topics that connect to the celebration of “little Saturday”. While not every Swede practices lill rdag, most do see the pause as a way of getting through the workweek.
Self-care is important for people’s body and mind. Paula Gill Lopez, a professor of Fairfield University in Connecticut, told Everyday Health that the need for self-care is conspicuous. “We have an epidemic of anxiety and depression,” she said. “Everybody feels it.”
Self-care and wellness activities can range from eating healthy foods, to exercising, to taking time to relax. Many people don’t make time to care for themselves and that’s where lill rdag comes in.
“Something like lill rdag can be quite wise in helping people relax,” said Constanze Leineweber, associate professor at the Stress Research Institute of Stockholm University. “You can become encouraged with smaller goals within the week which you can reach and get a reward for.”
So if you’re feeling stressed, have a happy lill rdag!
27 ．Why may people use lill rdag as a way to get through a week
A ．They are under a lot of pressure at work.
B ．They want more time to work from home.
C ．They are easily affected by Swedish culture. D ．They want chances to share their workspace.
28 ．What does Hanna Hedenius mainly talk about in Paragraph 2
A ．The origin of lill rdag. B ．The requirements of lill rdag.
C ．The importance of lill rdag. D ．The celebrations of lill rdag.
29 ．What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Paragraph 4 mean
A ．Amazing. B ．Different. C ．Obvious. D ．Possible.
30 ．What’s Constanze Leineweber’s attitude towards lill rdag
