(2022高三上·大同月考)阅读理解
By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi, an
ancient Chinese tea trick dis-played in a recent TV drama, has gone viral
for its apparent similarity with modern latte art (咖啡拉花艺术). However,
ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing completely.
Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner of chabaixi, found scenes of chabaixi in the
drama aroused great interest among ordinary people.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains
or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding (碾碎) tea
for fine powder to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth,
and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because
people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But
when the water touches the surface of whipped (搅打起泡沫的)
tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process
before the drawing is known as the tea-making tech-nique, diancha, the quality
of which is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
"Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making
techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is that not only this technique
is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people's lifestyle
in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways
resemble what we have now, "Zhang said.
Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was
listed as part of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was
recovered by Zhang Zhifeng, who spent nearly 30 years studying and researching
the origins and making of tea, but for him it was all worth-while.
"This technique is key to the tea culture of the Song
Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it fade. This technique must be passed
on to the next generations so they can understand its history," Zhang said.
1.What do the underlined words "gone viral" in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Received good protection. B.Become popular quickly.
C.Started declining gradually. D.Maintained highly competitive.
2.What do we know about chabaixi
A.It is painted with whipped milk.
B.It develops based on latte art.
C.It mainly describes beautiful scenery.
D.It involves complicated tea-making skills.
3.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.The origin of chabaixi. B.The uniqueness of chabaixi.
C.The significance of chabaixi. D.The development of chabaixi.
4.What can we infer about Zhang Zhifeng
A.He teaches people the tea culture of the Song Dynasty.
B.He is leading young generations to innovate chabaixi.
C.He encourages people to pass on the technique of chabaixi.
D.He is committed to developing chabaixi through media.

San
Francisco chef Cecilia Chiang, who was a pioneer of Chinese cuisine in the
United States, died Wednesday. She was 100. Chiang was the owner, chef and
mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin. She
is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a
celebrity chef before celebrity chefs were popularized.
Chiang,
who was born near Shanghai, came from an upper-class Chinese family. Although
She wasn't shy about acknowledging her good fortune, she faced other
difficulties. Convincing the dining public that Chinese food didn't have to be
Thursday's cheap take-out option, Chiang had her work cut out for her.
“Most
Americans; including American-born Chinese, they didn't know about Chinese
food,” Chiang explained in an interview with CNN Travel in 2018. Never having been
to China, they needed to be educated on the difference. The year was 1961, and
Chiang insisted on snowing diners the delicate side of Chinese food. The
restaurant's wine list, filled with Chinese cultural elements, was part of her
strategy. Chiang said she wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To
do this, she also needed to be fully aware of aesthetics (美学).
The
Mandarin, which would later occupy a much larger space in Ghirardelli Square,
wasn't like other Chinese restaurants. “Is this a Chinese restaurant ” Chiang
said people asked her all the, time. The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or
chow mein, two standard dishes on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the
time. But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid. In fact, her early brushes
with Chinese food in America had left her unimpressed and determined to show
San Francisco what Chinese food was really like.
Not
only was Chiang a woman trying to run a restaurant in a male-controlled
industry, but She was also attempting to educate diners. Changing people's
minds was complicated. And, Chiang, who had been retired some 20 years when she
died, at one point remarked that not a single existing restaurant could compare
to the Mandarin.
(1)What does the underlined part mean in the second paragraph
A.Chiang had to give up her job. B.Chiang refused to be involved.
C.Chiang faced a challenging task. D.Chiang achieved her aim with ease.
(2)What strategy did Chiang take to upgrade the Mandarin
A.Taking full advantage of her family background.
B.Combining dining experience with Chinese culture.
C.Including two standard Chinese dishes on the menu.
D.Expanding the Mandarin business in different areas.
(3)What is the author's main purpose in writing the text
A.To remember Cecilia Chiang and her contributions.
B.To introduce the Mandarin started by Cecilia Chiang.
C.To promote Chinese cuisine culture in the USA
D.To change people's minds toward Chinese restaurants.
(4)Which words can best describe Cecilia Chiang
A.Daring and generous. B.Capable and artistic.
C.Ambitious and grateful. D.Noble and caring.
【答案】(1)C

(1)考查句义猜测。根据第二段中的“Although She wasn't shy about acknowledging her good fortune, she faced other difficulties.”尽管她并不羞于承认自己的好运,但她也面临着其他困难,可知,Chiang在推广中国菜时遇到了麻烦;以及“Convincing the dining public that Chinese food didn't have to be Thursday's cheap take-out option”Chiang说服就餐的公众不必将中国菜当做便宜的外卖食品,可知,在美国人眼里中国菜是便宜的外卖食品。可推知,老外对于中国菜存在偏见,想要推广中国菜困难重重,所以划线句表达的意思就是“Chiang面临了一份富有挑战性的任务”。故选C。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The restaurant's wine list, filled with Chinese cultural elements, was part of her strategy.”餐厅的酒单上充满了中国文化元素,这也是她的策略之一,可知,Chiang通过将中国元素融合到餐厅里,以此来推广自己的餐厅。故选B。
(3)考查推理判断。根据第一段“San Francisco chef Cecilia Chiang, who was a pioneer of Chinese cuisine in the United States, died Wednesday. She was 100. Chiang was the owner, chef and mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin. She is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a celebrity chef before celebrity chefs were popularized. ”旧金山厨师Cecilia Chiang星期三去世,她是美国中餐的先驱。她享年100岁。Cecilia Chiang是旧金山“Mandarin”餐厅的老板、主厨和幕后策划者,这家餐厅改变了餐饮业的格局。她被广泛认为是把真正的中国菜带到了美国,在名厨普及之前,她是一位名厨,可知,美国中餐的开拓者Cecilia Chiang去世享年一百岁,Cecilia Chiang所开设的餐馆“Mandarin”改变了美国人对于中餐的看法并且改变了餐饮业的格局。由此推知,本文是为了纪念Cecilia Chiang和她所取得的成就。故选A。
(4)考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“The restaurant's wine list, filled with Chinese cultural elements, was part of her strategy. Chiang said she wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To do this, she also needed to be fully aware of aesthetics”餐厅的酒单充满了中国文化元素,这是她策略的一部分。Chiang说她想提升中式餐饮的体验。要做到这一点,她也需要充分意识到美学,可知,Chiang运用美学知识在酒店增加中国元素,从而取得成功。由此可推断Chiang非常有艺术性;再结合最后一段中的“And, Chiang, who had been retired some 20 years when she died, at one point remarked that not a single existing restaurant could compare to the Mandarin.”去世时已经退休20年了,她曾说,现在没有一家餐厅能与Mandarin餐厅相比,可知,她所开设的Mandarin餐厅取得了巨大的成功,由此可推断,Chiang非常有能力。故选B。

By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi, an
ancient Chinese tea trick dis-played in a recent TV drama, has gone viral
for its apparent similarity with modern latte art (咖啡拉花艺术). However,
ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing completely.
Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner of chabaixi, found scenes of chabaixi in the
drama aroused great interest among ordinary people.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains
or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding (碾碎) tea
for fine powder to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth,
and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because
people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But
when the water touches the surface of whipped (搅打起泡沫的)
tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process
before the drawing is known as the tea-making tech-nique, diancha, the quality
of which is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
"Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making
techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is that not only this technique
is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people's lifestyle
in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways
resemble what we have now, "Zhang said.
Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was
listed as part of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was
recovered by Zhang Zhifeng, who spent nearly 30 years studying and researching
the origins and making of tea, but for him it was all worth-while.
"This technique is key to the tea culture of the Song
Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it fade. This technique must be passed
on to the next generations so they can understand its history," Zhang said.
1.What do the underlined words "gone viral" in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Received good protection. B.Become popular quickly.
C.Started declining gradually. D.Maintained highly competitive.
2.What do we know about chabaixi
A.It is painted with whipped milk.
B.It develops based on latte art.
C.It mainly describes beautiful scenery.
D.It involves complicated tea-making skills.
3.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.The origin of chabaixi. B.The uniqueness of chabaixi.
C.The significance of chabaixi. D.The development of chabaixi.
4.What can we infer about Zhang Zhifeng
A.He teaches people the tea culture of the Song Dynasty.
B.He is leading young generations to innovate chabaixi.
C.He encourages people to pass on the technique of chabaixi.
D.He is committed to developing chabaixi through media.

The Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 closed on February 20. More than an event, the Games are also for exchanging goodwill and friendship. The design details of various elements such as the medals, emblem(图案) and mascots(吉祥物) serve this purpose. Let's take a look at these Chinese elements through the designs.
Medals
The front side of the Winter Olympic medals was based on the ancient Chinese jade concentric circle pendants, with five rings representing "the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of people's hearts". The opposite side of the medals was inspired from a piece of Chinese jadeware(玉器) called "Bi", a double jade disc with a round hole in the center.
Emblem
Inspired by the Chinese character "冬" for "winter", the upper part of the emblem resembles a skater and its lower part a skier. The ribbon-like decoration in between mainly symbolizes the host country's rolling mountains, Games venues, ski courses and skating rinks.
The blue color in the emblem represents dreams, the future and the purity of ice and snow, while red and yellow—the colors of China's national flag – present passion, youth and vitality.
Mascots
Bing Dwen Dwen, the cute mascot of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, attracts attention with the panda's full-body "shell" made out of ice. The inspiration came from traditional Chinese snack "ice-sugar gourd," (tanghulu), while the shell also resembles a space suit—embracing new technologies for a future of countless possibilities. "Bing" is the Chinese character for ice, which symbolizes purity and toughness. Dwen Dwen is a common nickname in China for children that suggests they are lovely, healthy and clever.

San
Francisco chef Cecilia Chiang, who was a pioneer of Chinese cuisine in the
United States, died Wednesday. She was 100. Chiang was the owner, chef and
mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin. She
is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a
celebrity chef before celebrity chefs were popularized.
Chiang,
who was born near Shanghai, came from an upper-class Chinese family. Although
She wasn't shy about acknowledging her good fortune, she faced other
difficulties. Convincing the dining public that Chinese food didn't have to be
Thursday's cheap take-out option, Chiang had her work cut out for her.
“Most
Americans; including American-born Chinese, they didn't know about Chinese
food,” Chiang explained in an interview with CNN Travel in 2018. Never having been
to China, they needed to be educated on the difference. The year was 1961, and
Chiang insisted on snowing diners the delicate side of Chinese food. The
restaurant's wine list, filled with Chinese cultural elements, was part of her
strategy. Chiang said she wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To
do this, she also needed to be fully aware of aesthetics (美学).
The
Mandarin, which would later occupy a much larger space in Ghirardelli Square,
wasn't like other Chinese restaurants. “Is this a Chinese restaurant ” Chiang
said people asked her all the, time. The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or
chow mein, two standard dishes on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the
time. But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid. In fact, her early brushes
with Chinese food in America had left her unimpressed and determined to show
San Francisco what Chinese food was really like.
Not
only was Chiang a woman trying to run a restaurant in a male-controlled
industry, but She was also attempting to educate diners. Changing people's
minds was complicated. And, Chiang, who had been retired some 20 years when she
died, at one point remarked that not a single existing restaurant could compare
to the Mandarin.
(1)What does the underlined part mean in the second paragraph
A.Chiang had to give up her job. B.Chiang refused to be involved.
C.Chiang faced a challenging task. D.Chiang achieved her aim with ease.
(2)What strategy did Chiang take to upgrade the Mandarin
A.Taking full advantage of her family background.
B.Combining dining experience with Chinese culture.
C.Including two standard Chinese dishes on the menu.
D.Expanding the Mandarin business in different areas.
(3)What is the author's main purpose in writing the text
A.To remember Cecilia Chiang and her contributions.
B.To introduce the Mandarin started by Cecilia Chiang.
C.To promote Chinese cuisine culture in the USA
D.To change people's minds toward Chinese restaurants.
(4)Which words can best describe Cecilia Chiang
A.Daring and generous. B.Capable and artistic.
C.Ambitious and grateful. D.Noble and caring.
