热考素材 中华优秀传统文化 Most Tujia people live in houses built on stilts,
a traditional house style. People like to build them on hillsides with bamboo or
wood. There are usually t 1 floors, with the ground floor used for raising
animals or keeping farm tools, and the other for living. In fact, such b 2
were common in southern China in ancient times.
In most cases, the s 3 floor has three rooms—a central sitting room and two smaller ones.
The sitting room is for m 4 visitors, working or relaxing. The rooms next to the central s 5
are the bedrooms.
But why do the Tujia people build houses in the air? Well, it has something to do with w 6
they live. Most Tujia people live in the Wuling Mountains. The w 7 there is humid and often
hot in summer. People can f 8 cooler and more comfortable living in a higher house. Also,
higher houses can protect people from floods and d 9 creatures, such as snakes.
As a symbol of Tujia people's c 10 , the house built on stilts meets the need of people's
material life and spiritual life. It decorates its natural surroundings and makes itself a part of
nature.

首字母填空
本文介绍了土家族的民族建筑——吊脚楼。吊脚楼一般有两层，一楼用于储存东西或喂养动物，二楼用于居住。
1. two 根据后文“with the ground floor used for raising animals or keeping farm tools, and the other for living”可知，一层用于储存东西或喂养动物，另一层用于居住，所以通常是两层。
2. buildings 前文提到 houses built on stilts，这里指代这种建筑，谓语动词 were 是复数形式，所以用 buildings。
3. second 上文提到有两层，这里说第二层通常有三个房间。
4. meeting 客厅是用来会见访客的，for 是介词，后接动词-ing 形式。meet visitors 表示“会见访客”。
5. space the rooms next to the central space 表示“挨着中央空间的房间”。
6. where 根据后文“Most Tujia people live in the Wuling Mountains.”可知，这里说的是与他们居住的地点有关，用 where 引导宾语从句。
7. weather 根据 humid and often hot in summer 可知，描述的是天气。
8. feel 住在更高的房子里人们能感觉更凉爽舒适。can 是情态动词，后接动词原形，故填 feel。
9. dangerous 根据 such as snakes 可知，这些是危险的生物，修饰名词 creatures 用形容词 dangerous。
10. culture 根据前文对土家族传统建筑的描述可知，这种吊脚楼是土家族文化的一种象征。
