You might think of it as a scene from martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting.
Over 2,000 years ago, the high quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of
bamboo's lower price. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Yang Liu, a 25 year old inheritor of bamboo drifting, learned it at seven. “Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not be buoyant (有浮力的) enough to float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell in the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said.
The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 18 years, she has drifted all year round, in cold winter and hot summer. As hanfu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful scene. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “I'm extremely proud to get responses from viewers that bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It's my mission to keep it alive and known to more people,” Yang Liu says.
1. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A. Bamboo drifting involves lots of skills.
B. Nanmu was delivered to the north by land.
C. Bamboo was costly in Guizhou 2,000 years ago.
D. The martial arts movie is a form of cultural heritage.

答案及解析:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了国家级非物质文化遗产项目独竹漂。
1. A 推理判断题。根据第一段“You might think of it as a scene from martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting. (当你看到人们站在竹竿上顺流而下时,你可能会认为这是武侠片里的场景,但实际上这是一种非物质文化遗产:独竹漂。)”以及第二段末句“Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021. (由于掌握这一动作需要巨大的力量和平衡,独竹漂于2021年被列入国家非物质文化遗产名录。)”可知,独竹漂需要很多技能。故选A。
2. A 推理判断题。根据第三段最后三句“Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole…until I knew how to handle the most difficult part (让我们的脚牢牢地站在狭窄的竹竿上是关键,所以我们应该通过不断改变角度来对抗水流。在练习的过程中,我多次失去平衡掉进水里。一旦我摔倒了,我就再试一次,直到我知道如何处理最困难的部分)”可知,在狭窄的竹竿上站稳是关键,杨柳在练习独竹漂时会因失去平衡而摔倒。由此可推知,独竹漂最大的挑战是保持平衡。故选A。
3. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“‘I'm extremely proud to get responses from viewers that bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It's my mission to keep it alive and known to more people,’ Yang Liu says. (‘我非常自豪地收到观众的回应,他们认为独竹漂让可能与不可能之间的界限变得模糊。我的使命是让它保留下去,让更多人知道它,’杨柳说。)”可知,从观众那里得到的反响是独竹漂让“可能”和“不可能”之间的界限变得模糊,由此可推知,观众认为独竹漂是不可思议的。故选C。
4. A 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“You might think of it as a scene from martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting. (当你看到人们站在竹竿上顺流而下时,你可能会认为这是武侠片里的场景,但实际上这是一种非物质文化遗产:独竹漂。)”以及第三段倒数第二三句“Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell in the water many times while practicing. (让我们的脚牢牢地站在狭窄的竹竿上是关键,所以我们应该通过不断改变角度来对抗水流。在练习的过程中,我多次失去平衡掉进水里。)”可知,文章主要介绍了国家级非物质文化遗产项目独竹漂。而优雅地在竹子上保持平衡体现了独竹漂的特点,最适合作文章标题。故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2025·山东济南)
What is heritage The word can be difficult to define. Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years. __1__ It can also be the customs, traditions, and values shared by groups of people. One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups. These are the tangible(有形的), the natural, and the intangible.
__2__ It can include many human made objects that hold cultural value. Some examples are national monuments and works of art. Many ancient sites are also part of this group. On a smaller scale, a family home can be part of an individual's heritage.
Many parts of the natural world are also important to cultural heritage. This can include bodies of water, plant life, landforms and more. One example is the Nile River. __3__ Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in many cultures.
The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can't feel through touch. Maybe you've read about forms of dance, like Flamenco dancing. You might know about the music of Mariachi Bands or holidays like Eid. These are all examples of intangible heritage. __4__
Exploring your own heritage can be fun. It can help you learn about yourself, your family, and your ancestors. But it's also important to learn about the heritage of others. __5__ It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others!
A. They are treasures that can be touched.
B. What tangible items can be part of heritage
C. However, heritage isn't limited to concrete objects.
D. Languages, holidays and customs also make the list.
E. Therefore, it's difficult to protect them from fading away.
F. Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures.
G. It has been part of cultural heritage in many African nations for centuries
答案及解析:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了遗产是由家庭或其他群体传承多年的东西。然而,遗产并不局限于具体的物品,它也可以是一群人共有的习俗、传统和价值观。
1. C 根据下文“It can also be the customs, traditions, and values shared by groups of people. (它也可以是一群人共享的习俗、传统和价值观。)”可知,此处应指遗产不局限于某种东西,与C项“However, heritage isn't limited to concrete objects. (然而,遗产并不局限于具体的物品。)”符合题意。故选C。
2. B 根据上文“These are the tangible(有形的), the natural, and the intangible. (这三类分为有形的、自然的和无形的。)”及下文“It can include many human made objects that hold cultural value. (它可以包括许多具有文化价值的人造物。)”,再结合下文中列举的人造物品的例子,包括“national monuments and works of art”、“ancient sites”等;由此可知,本段主要讲述哪些是有形的遗产,B项“What tangible items can be part of heritage (哪些有形物品可以成为遗产的一部分 )”符合题意。故选B。
3. G 本段主要介绍自然遗产。根据上文“One example is the Nile River. (尼罗河就是一个例子。)”可知,空处应该会继续讲述与尼罗河有关的内容。G项“It has been part of cultural heritage in many African nations for centuries. (几个世纪以来,它一直是许多非洲国家文化遗产的一部分。)”承接上文,符合题意。故选G。
4. D 本段主要介绍无形的遗产。上文提到了舞蹈、音乐等无形的遗产,D项“Languages, holidays and customs also make the list. (语言、节日、习俗也榜上有名。)”承接上文,介绍了其他的无形遗产,符合题意。故选D。
5. F 根据上一句“But it's also important to learn about the heritage of others. (但了解他人的遗产也很重要。)”及下文“It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others! (它还可以引导你找到与他人可能有共同点的东西!)”可知,空出应该是介绍了解他人的遗产的好处,F项“Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures. (这样做可以帮助你更深入地了解其他文化。)”承上启下,符合题意。故选F。
Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2025·安徽马鞍山)
I was moving as fast as I could, stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven jetty(栈桥). Far ahead, I could see the back of my brother's sandy hair and the bright orange of his shorts.
“Too slow, sister!” I heard Sam yell as he hopped with ease.
“I'll show him,” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks, scraping my ankle. “Ouch!” I yelled. I tried to wiggle(扭动) my foot out, but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock and that's when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone, the color of water, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket. Sam squinted(眯着
眼睛看) in the sun.Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the
summer I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket, pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I was dizzy, but I didn't want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business.
“Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival! It happened to be perfect for sand art!”
“Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!” They were antique little pigs and cost only 50 cents.
My family calls me their “little collector”. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”. Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the window of the candy shop, I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window's glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555 9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought.
注意:写作词数应为150个左右。
Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought.________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop.__
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One possible version:
Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. So far, there were a variety of things like mini cola bottles and shakers. I stared at the stone, so clean and polished. Could it be Chrissy's Was it a very special necklace Should I return it to her I paced back and forth in the room anxiously, not knowing what to do. Having struggled for a long time, I finally decided to call the number on the poster and get in touch with Chrissy. I told her that I might have something that belonged to her and made an appointment with her.
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. We were drinking milkshakes and sharing an order of sweet potato fries. Looking at the blue stone in her hand with her tearful eyes, she told me that the necklace was a gift from her mom before she got sick and she was grateful to me for returning the necklace to her. “Holding onto it somehow makes things a little better,” she said. I couldn't agree more with her. It dawned on me that I became “a treasure girl” instead of “a trash girl” called by the mean kids at school.
【详解】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者平时总是喜欢收集一些破破烂烂、奇奇怪怪的小东西。有一次,作者和哥哥们在栈桥的下面发现了一条项链,她悄悄地把它放进了自己口袋里。后来在回家的路上,作者看到了Chrissy所刊登的失物招领,她发现自己所捡到的东西正是Chrissy所丢的项链。于是,作者回到家内心挣扎,最终归还项链,由别人口中的“垃圾女孩”变成拾金不昧的“宝贝女孩”的故事。
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“一回到家,我就把项链放在我专门放特殊物品的地方,陷入了沉思。”可知,第一段可描写作者内心是否要归还项链的挣扎心理,以及作者最终决定要归还项链。
②由第二段首句内容“十五分钟后,我坐在糖果店,Chrissy的对面。”可知,第二段可描写作者归还物品时的情景以及她和Chrissy之间的对话,以及最终作者的感悟。
2. 续写线索:作者内心挣扎——下定决心归还——Chrissy交代项链的来历——Chrissy感动不已——作者最终感悟
