Ⅴ. 阅读理解。(本题共20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分)
A
根据短文内容,判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。
Why do we say maidongxi instead of mainanbei, yijian xiangzuo instead of yijian xiangyou, and shangcesuo instead of xiacesuo? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind.
Where to buy things
When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi, instead of mainanbei. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi.
Left or right
In Chinese, we say yijian xiangzuo when we have different opinions. Why is it not yijian xiangyou?
Most people are right - handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hands to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in Chinese, “left” is always thought to be different, such as yijian xiangzuo.
Up or down
We use shangcesuo instead of xiacesuo to mean “go to the bathroom”. Why?
In ancient times, houses were laid out in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house. On maps, north is usually at the top. In Chinese, we talk about “the north” as shang. So people would say they were going “up” to the bathroom rather than going “down” to the bathroom.
(F)1. In the Tang Dynasty, people usually went shopping in the West Market first.
(T)2. People think that “left” means being different in Chinese.
(T)3. In ancient times, Chinese people built their houses with the gates facing south.
(F)4. On maps, north is usually at the top, so Chinese people describe it as xia.
(F)5. This passage is mainly about the changes of Chinese words.
