24、This is a story of two Chinese bowls, one old and one new, and how they became famous.

A man in the US state of Connecticut went to a yard sale and saw a small bowl. It was blue and white and had pretty flowers on it. It also looked very old. The man paid $35 for it and decided to do some research. He found that the bowl was one of the first examples of blue-and-white clay art made in Jingdezhen, China’s “porcelain capital (瓷都)”. It belonged to the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Museum experts say the emperor’s little rice bowl is an important historical artifact (文物). It is worth as much as $500, 000.

The other bowl is bigger and has a less interesting story. It is red and white, and also has pretty flowers on it. It is for sale online in America for $60. The seller says it can be filled with fruits or flowers and used as a pretty home object. However, when Chinese netizens were surfing online, they found that the bowl was something once very common in every home — a toilet. Several tens of years ago, you would see people carrying these pretty bowls to the neighborhood toilet early in the morning and emptying them. You can still buy these bowls today in small shops for about 4 dollars each.

The story of the two bowls tells us that the value of something isn’t always related to its use. A bowl, after all, is just a bowl. Perhaps the seller of the toilet bowl could ask for an even higher price if he said it had once been used by an emperor.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about the small bowl?

A．An American paid four dollars for it.

B．It could be filled with fruits and flowers.

C．It was one of the emperor’s rice bowls.

D．It was red and white with pretty flowers on it.

【2】Why is the small bowl so valuable today?

A．Because it had pretty flowers on it.

B．Because it’s an important historical artifact.

C．Because museum experts offer a high price.

D．Because it was made in China’s “porcelain capital”.

【3】What does the underlined word “netizens” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Persons who use the Internet a lot.

B．Persons who do housework.

C．Young people who like modern things.

D．People who like collecting emperors’ things.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The big bowl is still very common in every home.

B．The value of something always depends on its use.

C．People can pay $35 for the big bowl in small shops in China.

D．Something that was used by an emperor is worth much money.

25、①Qinqiang Opera is one of the carliest forms of opera in China. It started from the ancient folk songs and dances of the Han people in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. According to historical records, the local opera dates all the way back to the Qin Dynasty. Qinqiang Opera shows the daily life and feelings of ancient Chinese people. In 2006, Qinqiang Opera was added to national intangible heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录).

②Hou Yan, 48, the master of Qinqiang Opera started learning it from her mother when she was 4 years old. Training in the basic skills of Qinqiang Opera is very challenging. In 1985, Hou studied at an art school in Ningxia where teachers were very strict with students. Leg stretching (伸展), waist bending (弯曲) and somersaults (翻筋斗) were just some of her daily training routines. Her hard work paid off. Hou became a performer with a troupe (剧团) at the age of 16.

③But since 1993, the sweeping trend (趋势) of pop and Western music has hit Qinqiang Opera hard. The troupe was closed and Hou had no choice but to leave the opera stage she loved.

④After 1995, however, China has made great efforts to develop its traditional culture. Hou returned to the stage in 2000 and devoted herself to the opera form. “I knew I’d planted my roots on the opera stage,” said Hou. Now, Hou’s team presents hundreds of Qinqiang Opera performances every year in the towns and villages of Ningxia. The average age of Hou’s opera team is 30. In 2021, they staged about 150 school performances.
