备考2023年高考英语二轮专题：阅读理解(传统文化)
备考2023年高考英语二轮专题：阅读理解（传统文化）一、阅读理解(共34题；共74分)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．（2分）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．（2分）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．（2分）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．（2分）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.阅读理解Once Popular Sports in Ancient Capital Xi'anThe ancient capital Xi'an in Northwest China's Shaanxi province is holding the National Games.

答案：CBIf you followed the 2016 Olympic Games, you may have noticed that several athletes, including US swimmer Michael Phelps, had circular bruises on their bodies. These bruises were the result of “cupping (拔火罐) therapy”， a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy. Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it about twice a week since, reported ABCNews. Another US swimmer, Dana Vollmer, also believes that “it really helps withblood flow”．However, some have said that the supposed health effects result from people'sfeeling that the treatment works, rather than any physical effect of the treatment.To figure out cupping therapy has any physical effect, last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a false treatment was provided.In the study, the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the false treatment. But in the false treatment, the cups had a hole at the top so that theycouldn't create the proper suction (吸力)．The tested patients, who suffered from a disorder that caused a lot of pain,were told that they would receive either traditional cupping or “soft cupping”.But they were not informed that the socalled “soft cupping” was a false treat ment.It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping theyhad received. In both groups, patients also experienced about the same reductionsin pain. “ The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come fromfactors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself，” the researcherstold the Live Science website.The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered. “But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people,the therapy can be used as part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises, nutritional choices and lifestyle changing，” Dr Brent Bauer, directorof the US Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program at Mayo Clinic, told Live Science.[语篇解读] 本文主要介绍了中国传统医疗方式拔火罐的实际疗效问题。
