B
When I was young, I loved paper cutting and I was pretty good at it. As I grew up, I became busy and didn’t have much time for it. Later, I stopped doing it.
However, the news I came across online touched my heart and changed my mind. A little girl from Jieyang, Guangdong was practicing lion dance when a professional lion dance performance team (专业舞狮表演队) passed by. As soon as they saw the girl practicing, they started to beat drums and gongs for her and quickly she did a lion dance in return. People around all cheered for her. Her love for the ancient Chinese culture evoked my strong memories of paper cutting.
I remembered the happy times of making paper cuttings with my teacher and friends in the club. When I was ten, I joined the paper cutting club. Every Monday and Friday, I learned to make paper cuttings there. Our teacher, Ms. Li, was very talented. With a pair of scissors and a piece of paper, she could create lively works (作品). That amazed us. And we learned much from her. Together, we created lots of works. They covered many topics, including animals, flowers and things about Chinese history. Every time we held a paper cutting show, our works attracted many visitors. The girl in the news encouraged me to go on with paper cutting. I want to be an inheritor (继承者) of the ancient Chinese culture. Together with other inheritors, I hope to pass down our excellent culture.

答案解析：
24. 答案：B
解析：根据文中“As soon as they saw the girl practicing, they started to beat drums and gongs for her and quickly she did a lion dance in return.”可知，表演队为女孩敲锣打鼓后，女孩回以一段舞狮表演，所以答案是B选项。
25. 答案：A
解析：上文提到女孩对中国古代文化的热爱这一情景，接着说唤起了“我”对剪纸的强烈记忆，“brought back”有“唤起，使回忆起”的意思，符合此处语境；“took away”是“拿走”；“cut off”是“切断”；“depended on”是“依靠”，都不符合此处要表达的意思，所以“evoked”意思是A选项“brought back”。
26. 答案：C
解析：第三段主要围绕作者十岁加入剪纸俱乐部后，在俱乐部里跟老师学习剪纸、一起创作作品以及举办剪纸展等这些快乐经历展开描述，所以主要讲的是作者制作剪纸的快乐时光，C选项正确；这段并没有着重讲剪纸的历史、剪纸步骤以及成立剪纸俱乐部的计划，A、B、D选项不符合题意。
27. 答案：C
解析：由文中“I loved paper cutting and I was pretty good at it.”可知作者小时候擅长剪纸，A选项错误；文中未提及现在作者练习剪纸的频率，B选项无法得出；从“I want to be an inheritor (继承者) of the ancient Chinese culture.”能看出作者希望成为剪纸（作为中国古代文化一部分）的传承者，C选项正确；根据“The girl in the news encouraged me to go on with paper cutting.”可知看完新闻后作者决定继续剪纸，而不是学习舞狮，D选项错误。所以正确答案是C选项。
