三． 阅读理解
A
During the years of game making, there have been a number of games. Many old games have gone since modern games came out.
Teachers at a primary school asked their students to write articles about
games they knew and were surprised by the results. Half of the 50 children in
one of the classes wrote about online games.
It is easy to see that traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope
games are unfamiliar to many of today's schoolchildren. They like to play
computer games, especially in the cities, with the rising popularity of TV, the Internet, video and online games.
An educationist said, "Traditional games used to be so popular, but over just a few years, kids have forgotten them. It's sad."
The games that many parents once played were generally outdoor activities which were enjoyed by students during breaks or after school. They usually needed several partners and just a little space.
Jump rope games, for example, have always been popular in many countries around the world. A kind of jump rope game, played with rubber bands(橡皮筋) which are connected together to make a long rope, is played in many countries.
Rubber band jumping was once very popular in primary schools. Girls loved playing this game. It can help kids practise their jumping skills and develop coordination(协调性), and also help them meet lots of friends.
It is common these days to see primary school students spending their breaks in the classroom. They are busy with their studies.
"When we were young, we played many different outdoor games, but today's children don't know what to play or how to play," a 40-year-old mother said. "They don't know what teamwork is."
Being worried by the situation, educational officers have tried to make some programmes to educate children on traditional games.
( )1. How are traditional games today?
A. Today's children don't like traditional games.
B. Traditional games are missing one by one.
C. Traditional games aren't so easy as computer games.
D. Modern games are more useful than old games.
( )2. The meaning of the underlined word "unfamiliar" here is "_______"
A. not known B. not helpful C. unimportant D. not interesting
( )3. The traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games_______.
A. can be played only in schools B. can be played only outdoors
C. usually need a few partners D. need a very large space
( )4. Today's schoolchildren don't know how to play traditional games mainly because_____.
A. they are busy with their studies B. they don't like them at all
C. their parents don't let them do that D. the games are difficult to learn
( )5. Which of the following is the writer's opinion?
A. Traditional games should take the place of modern games.
B. Schoolchildren shouldn't be busy with their lessons.
C. Without playing traditional games, children don't know what teamwork is.
D. The whole society should try to educate children on traditional games.
B

七．任务型阅读
Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional(传统的) art. These usually try to represent the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common(普通的) things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.
According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Paper cutting has been around for more than 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors.The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.
Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.
