中考总复习一般分为三轮：
1、第一轮复习为基础知识的单元、章节复习。通过第一轮的复习，使学生系统掌握基础知识、基本技能和方法，形成明晰的知识网络和稳定的知识框架。
2、第二轮复习打破章节界限实行大单元、小综合、专题式复习。第二轮复习绝不是第一轮复习的压缩文档，而是一个知识点综合、巩固、完善、提高的过程。复习的主要任务及目标是：完成各部分知识的条 理，归纳，糅合，使各部分知识成为一个有机的整体。

①Chinese calligraphy (书法) was nce cnsidered an imprtant part f the schl curriculum (课程). Hwever, fr many reasns, sme peple think it’s less imprtant t teach this art frm at schl nw. In this article, I will lk at bth the prs and cns (赞成与反对) f learning Chinese calligraphy at schl.
②One reasn why Chinese calligraphy shuld be learned at schl is that it is an imprtant frm f culture expressin. Clearly, it is nt just abut practicing handwriting. It is als abut cnnecting with a traditinal Chinese art frm. When students learn this art in class, they will becme mre interested in the wrks f famus Chinese artists.
③Anther reasn is that it may help students t develp patience. At the times f high technlgy, students are getting less patient fr traditinal classrm learning. By intrducing Chinese calligraphy int the classrm. students’ patience can be imprved because they have t practice fcusing n each brush mvement.
④Frm the abve, it can be seen that there are clear advantages. Hwever, thers think there are sme disadvantages. The first ne is that it has little t d with students’ life. Living in a mdern age, pens and paper will lse their imprtance. S, wuldn’t it be a backward (倒退) step if students were asked t spend their valuable time at schl learning Chinese calligraphy?
⑤The secnd argument against learning Chinese calligraphy at schl is that it takes a lng time t master. The time at schl is better spent n mre imprtant subjects. After all, learning Chinese calligraphy can always be dne as an after-schl activity if students are really interested in it.
⑥In my pinin, the advantages far utweigh the disadvantages. This special art frm is ne f China’s natinal treasures. It als helps t enrich students’ life and imprve their sense f beauty. S withut dubt, it is wrth being included in the schl curriculum.

In the Chinese histry, writing tls play an imprtant rle. Amng them, the writing brush is the first ne that shuld be paid attentin t.
The beginning f the writing brush in China can date back t the Nelithic age (新石器时代), while it is ppular during the Warring States perid (战国时期). The tl is widely used in Chinese writing and painting.
Nwadays, many primary schls have calligraphy classes (书法课) where teachers teach students hw t use the writing brush t enjy Chinese traditinal culture. The sft brush can leave strng lines n paper.

Fr many Chinese artists, the brush is mre than a writing tl. “When I pick up the writing brush, suddenly my ideas and even stries build a relatinship with the brush,” said Liu Qinghe, a famus Chinese artist.

Every week in China, millins f peple will sit in frnt f their TV watching teenagers cmpete in the Chinese Characters Dictatin Cmpetitin, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee (拼写比赛). In this challenge, yung cmpetitrs must write Chinese characters by hand. T prepare fr the cmpetitin, the cmpetitrs usually spend mnths studying dictinaries.
Perhaps the shw’s ppularity shuld nt be a surprise. Alng with gunpwder (火药) and paper, many Chinese peple cnsider the creatin f Chinese calligraphy t be ne f their primary cntributins t civilizatin. Unfrtunately, all ver the cuntry, Chinese peple are frgetting hw t write their wn language withut cmputerized help. Sftware n smart phnes and cmputers allws users t type in the basic sund f the wrd using the Latin alphabet (拉丁字母表). The crrect character is chsen frm a list. The result? It’s pssible t recgnize characters withut remembering hw t write them.
But there’s still hpe fr the writing brush. China’s Ministry f Educatin wants children t spend mre time learning hw t write.
In ne Beijing primary schl we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decrated classrm with traditinal Chinese paintings hanging n the walls.

The Chinese new year begins n 22 January 2023 and lasts until 9 February 2024. While mst f Asia celebrates the year f the rabbit, Vietnam (越南) celebrates the year f the cat. In the Chinese zdiac (十二生肖), there are 12 animals, and the 4th animal is the rabbit; while in the Vietnamese zdiac, the 4th psitin is gt by the cat.

Ancient strytellers said the Jade Emperr rganized a race acrss a river fr all the animals in the wrld. The first 12 t reach the ther side wuld appear in the zdiac.

That is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. Hwever, in the Vietnamese versin—which did nt have a rabbit—the cat culd swim and ended up arriving.
One pssible explanatin fr replacing rabbit with cat might have t d with language. In ld Chinese, there is a wrd tied t the sign f the rabbit that is prnunced ma (卯). The prnunciatin is similar t mè, the Vietnamese wrd fr cat.
Quyen Di, a lecturer at UCLA, said peple f Vietnam cnsider rabbits as animals that are used fr fd and chse the cat because they believe cats are friends living in their huse.
