Stories and Art of Chinese Fans

You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners. But in ancient China，hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool.

Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes，such as round and square. They were also made from a11 kinds of materials．Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans(羽毛扇) showed the owner’s high status．Sandalwood(檀香)fans could send out a sweet smell.

Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into art works，in which tuanshan (round fans)and zheshan(folded fans)were the most common．

In the shape of a full moon，tuanshan was usually made of silk．They had beautiful birds and flowers on them．Women especially those in the imperial palace(皇宫),liked to use them．Meanwhile,men，especially the literati(文人)，used zheshan．The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them．It was a way for them to show off their ability in literature,painting and handwriting．Almost anything can be painted on zheshan．

Today，Chinese people still use these fans，only not many people write or paint on them any more．Next time when you are waving a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.

这篇短文给我们介绍的是中国各种各样的手扇，它不仅是一个人们用来保持凉爽的工具，还代表了中国悠久、丰富的历史和文化。

【1】根据短文第二段中Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make.可知，棕榈叶做成的扇子既便宜而且容易制作。由此可知这里应填Cheap，形容词，“便宜的”。

【2】根据短文第二段中Feather fans(羽毛扇) showed the owner’s high status可知，羽毛做成的扇子可以显示主人的地位非常高。由此可知这里填Feather fans。

【3】根据短文第二段中Sandalwood(檀香)fans could send out a sweet smell.可知，檀香扇可以散发出香味。由此可知这里应填a sweet smell。

【4】根据短文第三段中In the shape of a full moon，tuanshan was usually made of silk．可知，团扇是满月的形状，故这里填a full moon。

【5】根据短文第三段中Meanwhile,men，especially the literati(文人)，used zheshan．The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them可知，折扇比较受男人，尤其是文人的喜爱。折扇常用纸制成，他们喜欢在上面画画、写诗。由此可知这里应填poems，“诗”。

这是一篇说明文，给我们介绍了我们国家各种各样的手扇，它不仅是人们纳凉的一种工具，还有着丰富的历史和文化。短文主题明确，第一段引出了文章的话题，第二段和第三段介绍了手扇的不同形状、质地以及使用的人群；最后一段重申主题，总结文意。后面的题目是完成表格，这张表格中列出了各种质地和形状的手扇，我们需根据文意，在空格上填写适当的单词或短语。做题时，应先通读全文，掌握大意；然后根据表格中所列的扇子的类型，定位到文章中，搜索信息，填写适当的词或短语。例如第1小题，这个空说的是棕榈叶的扇子的特点，因此我们用Palm leaf fans作为关键词，就可以快速定位到文章的第二段中，找到答案。再如第4小题，这个题目问的是tuanshan的特点，用它定位到短文的第三段中就可以找到答案。
