三、(2025·苏州市立达中学期中)阅读表达。
Today, teenagers in Suzhou can learn about their city's history in fun new ways. Museums and artists are using simple online tools to share traditions.
Suzhou Museum now has online lantern-making for festivals. Students click to choose colours and patterns, making digital lanterns while hearing stories about their meanings. For example, red lanterns stand for good luck, and rabbit shapes connect to the Moon Festival tales. Another project lets students take online walks along old streets. They can "walk" through Pingjiang Road and see how silk shops looked 500 years ago. Old photos pop up to compare the past and present. For Kunqu Opera, there are free short videos teaching easy moves like "holding a fan". Each video lasts 3—5 minutes, perfect for busy students.
A school survey shows that 60% of students like learning in this way because "it's like playing a game". One boy said, "I finally understand why our city is called the Venice of China after the online canal tour!" But 70% of grandparents say real-life activities are better. "Sitting together to make lanterns is happier than doing it alone online," said Mr Zhang, a 68-year-old cook. He added, "We laugh and share stories while our hands are busy."
Teachers advise mixing online and real-life activities. For example, visit Hanshan Temple first, touch the ancient walls, smell the incense (香气), and then use a phone app to listen to stories about its 1, 000 - year - old bell. Some schools even organize "culture days" where students try online tools in class, and then make real lanterns at home.
