He dreamed about learning the discipline and visiting China one day. In 2016, Darrin, who was a university student majoring in material science in Cameroon, started to learn Chinese at the Confucius Institute(孔子学院). Aside from martial arts, he got to know about the country through photos and videos. After a year of learning Chinese, Darrin arrived in Kaifeng, as a language student at Henan University. “When I saw the kung fu masters' practice, it was like a dream come true. I was told that martial arts is more than the powerful movements. Like self­defense, it is about a way of life, which is full of Chinese philosophy，” says Darrin. Since 2017, Darrin has entered many martial arts competitions, especially for tai chi, and won a number of awards. He says that tai chi helps him become strong and healthy, stay in good shape and develop excellent concentration, “Tai chi helps me gain my balance, physically and mentally，” says Darrin. “It changed me.” Besides tai chi, Darrin also learned to perform Yuju Opera, which is known for its melodic singing, amazing martial arts movements and stories. In 2017, Darrin watched a Yuju Opera performance, Hua Mulan, for the first time after arriving in Kaifeng. “The story is full of drama. The singing of the performers and the live band were full of energy，” recalls Darrin, who later studied Yuju Opera with artist Li Shujian, “Since Yuju Opera is performed in the Henan dialect, he had to learn the dialect first. He learned and practiced very hard，” says Li. In 2019，Darrin performed Yuju Opera on the popular TV show, Li Yuan Chun, produced and broadcast by Henan TV. Under his Chinese name, Liu Bianjing, Darrin won second place in one of the TV shows. Darrin notes that Kaifeng was formerly known as Bianjing in ancient China. “I have made lots of rinds here and I am considering living and working in China after graduation，” says Darrin. 4．How did Darrin know about China besides Chinese martial arts?

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在喀麦隆长大的Darrin从小就对中国武术着迷。他梦想着有一天能学习中国武术并到访中国，最终他梦想成真。 4．D　[细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Aside from martial arts, he got to know about the country through photos and videos.”可知，除了武术，他还通过照片和视频了解了中国。] 5．A　[段落大意题。根据第四段大意可知，自2017年以来，Darrin参加了武术比赛，特别是太极拳比赛，并获得了多个奖项。他说，太极拳可以帮助他变得强壮、健康、保持良好的状态并培养出色的注意力。据此可知，本段主要介绍的是太极拳对他的影响。] 6．B　[推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，Darrin以他的中文名字刘汴京在一档电视节目中获得第二名。他说，开封以前在中国古代被称为汴京。据此可知，他称自己为汴京，是表达对这座城市的热爱。] 7．C　[推理判断题。根据文章大意可知，喀麦隆的Darrin对中国武术着迷，并在武术领域取得了很多奖项后，又潜心学习汉语、豫剧，并获奖。由此可知，他雄心勃勃又多才多艺。] C (2024·河南高三校考)While most TV stations try to attract viewers by producing reality shows, Henan TV has become famous by promoting (推广) traditional culture through Chinese dance. Henan TV produced seven dance pieces introducing traditional culture for traditional festivals, such as “Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess (《洛神水赋》)”， a two­minute underwater dance for the Dragon Boat Festival. “Guardian Warriors of Longmen (《龙门金刚 》)”， a dance piece supported by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes(石窟)． “These pieces have gotten nearly 30 billion hits，” said Yao Wei, director of the TV station. “It's a huge success for Henan TV.” On Nov. 1, 2021, Yao was invited to talk about how the TV station had produced the hit dance pieces at a three­day forum (论坛) centering on the research of Chinese dance. The pieces were popular with audiences, most of whom are members of Gen Z, (people born between 1995 and 2009), Yao said. “It's been over forty years since the country's reform(改革) and opening­up and the younger generations have grown up with open minds. They love Chinese culture and are proud of it，” said Yao. “What we need to do is present Chinese culture and tradition in interesting ways for those young people.” Yao added that Henan TV has been producing shows promoting traditional culture, such as traditional operas and kung fu, for nearly 30 years. “To allure younger audiences, we are also changing our shows. One of the keys is to produce them with creativity，” Yao said. “For example, the latest technology and special stage settings, like underwater scenes, have become our new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture.” Another key to successfully reaching younger audiences is using social media to promote their shows. “Social media is being shaped and driven by young people. It's a powerful form of communication. When they watch short videos, they easily become interested in an eye­catching video，” Yao said. 8．What can we learn about the seven dance pieces produced by Henan TV?

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了河南卫视近年来通过中国舞蹈来推广传统文化，对此河南卫视电视台解释说，当下需要以有趣的方式向年轻人展示中国的传统文化。 8．B　[推理判断题。根据第一段“Henan TV produced seven dance pieces introducing traditional culture for traditional festivals, such as ‘Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess(《洛神水赋》)’，a two­minute underwater dance for the Dragon Boat Festival.”中的“a two­minute underwater dance”以及倒数第三段“‘To allure younger audiences, we are also changing our shows. One of the keys is to produce them with creativity，’Yao said.”可推断，这7个舞蹈是以一种创造性的方式呈现的。] 9．A　[观点态度题。根据第四段“The pieces were popular with audiences, most of whom are members of Gen Z, (people born between 1995 and 2009), Yao said.”可推断，Z一代这代人对这些作品很感兴趣。] 10．C　[词义猜测题。根据划线词后“‘One of the keys is to produce them with creativity，’Yao said.‘For example, the latest technology and special stage settings, like underwater scenes, have become our new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture.’”可知，通过最新的技术和特殊的舞台布景，已经成为我们讲述中国传统文化故事的新方式，一定会吸引年轻的观众。所以划线词此处指“吸引”。] 11．D　[写作目的题。通读全文，结合第一段中“While most TV stations try to attract viewers by producing reality shows, Henan TV has become famous by promoting (推广)traditional culture through Chinese dance.”再结合下文提到河南电视台为传统节日制作了7个介绍传统文化的舞蹈节目，很受观众欢迎可知，本文的写作目的是介绍河南电视台制作的舞蹈系列节目的成功。] D (2024·福建永春一中月考)Jeremy from America cannot understand why a lady he met outside the Hyde Park in London said, “Ooh, isn't it cold？”， and he thinks of this behaviour as a distinctively English concern about the weather. In fact, the female was just trying to strike up a conversation with Jeremy. Not necessarily a long conversation—just an exchange of greetings. It is not always quite that obvious, but all English weather conversations have a distinctive structure conducted according to unwritten but accepted rules. The unpredictable nature of our weather ensures that there is always something new to comment on, or perhaps most importantly, agree about. We have already established that weather­speak greetings like “Cold, isn't it？” require the response expressing agreement, as in “Yes, isn't it？” .It would be very rude to respond with “No, actually it's quite mild.” or “It's pretty hot to me.” If you deliberately break the rule, you will find that the atmosphere becomes rather tense and awkward. There may be an uncomfortable silence. Most likely, they will either change the subject or continue talking about the weather among themselves politely, if coldly, ignoring your faux_pas. There is, however, one situation in which English weather­speakers are not required to observe the agreement rule at all and that is the male­bonding argument, particularly the pub­argument. In the special environment of the pub, constant disagreement—not just on the weather, but on everything else as well—is a means of expressing friendship. While we may spend much of our time complaining about our weather, foreigners are not allowed to criticize it. Indeed, this brings us to the weather as family rule. In this respect, we treat the English weather like a member of our family：one can complain about the behavior of one's own children or parents, but any blame from an outsider is unacceptable. The weather may be one of the few things about which the English are still unconsciously and unashamedly patriotic (爱国的)． 12．Why did the lady comment on the weather to Jeremy? A．To build up friendship. B．To begin a casual chat. C．To send seasonal greetings. D．To express dissatisfaction. 13．What does the underlined phrase “faux pas” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Improper response. B．Careless attitude. C．Rude interruption. D．Frequent complaint. 14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Male bonding in pubs. B．Argument about weather. C．Exception to the agreement rule. D．Making friends by disagreement. 15．What is the best title for this text? A．Politeness Tips for Foreigners B．Accepted Rules in Social Life C．English Politeness in Weather Conversation D．Hidden Rules of English Weather Conversation [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国人在谈论天气时是按照未成文但被人们普遍接受的规则进行的，谈论天气是英国人一种独有的情怀。 12．B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In fact, the female was just trying to strike up a conversation with Jeremy. Not necessarily a long conversation — just an exchange of greetings.”可知，实际上这名女性只是想与Jeremy搭一下话。不必是长时间的对话，只是互相问好。因此这位女士和Jeremy谈论天气只是为了开始一个随意的聊天。] 13．A　[词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“The unpredictable nature of our weather ensures that there is always something new to comment on, or perhaps most importantly, agree about.”可知，我们天气的不可预测性确保我们始终有新的东西可以评论，或者说最重要的是要达成对天气的共识。由此可知，人们在谈论天气时，双方往往会有一致的看法。由“If you deliberately break the rule, you will find that the atmosphere becomes rather tense and awkward. There may be an uncomfortable silence.”可知，如果你故意违反规则，你会发现气氛将变得非常紧张和尴尬。可能会有令人不舒服的沉默。因此说话双方就要做出选择，即下文的“他们很可能会改变话题，或者继续礼貌地谈论天气”。如果对话氛围不好的话，他们自然会忽略你的回应。因此，这说明你的回应是不合适的，即违背了人们默认的规则。即划线短语意为“不当的回应”。 ] 14．C　[段落大意题。根据第三段中的“There is, however, one situation in which English weather­speakers are not required to observe the agreement rule at all and that is the male­bonding argument, particularly the pub­argument. In the special environment of the pub, constant disagreement—not just on the weather, but on everything else as well—is a means of expressing friendship.”可知，在一种情况下，英国谈论天气的人不需要遵守规则，这是发生在男人的小圈子里的，尤其是在酒吧。在酒吧的特殊环境中，天气上的不断的分歧和在其他方面所有的分歧都是表达友谊的一种手段。即第3段主要讲的是遵守天气对话规则的例外。] 15．D　[标题归纳题。通读全文尤其是第一段的“all English weather conversations have a distinctive structure conducted according to unwritten but accepted rules”可知，所有关于天气的对话都是按照未成文但被人们普遍接受的规则进行的。文章接下来具体地对该规则进行了解释，因此本文的最佳标题是“英国人天气对话的潜规则”。] Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2024·山东济南市高三模拟)It seems a bit strange to imagine ancient Egyptians celebrating their birthdays with layered cakes topped with lighted candles.__1__ The first birthday cakes were nothing of what they are today and weren't even called birthday cakes.__2__At that time only they could afford to celebrate with something sweet. That is how cake became associated with special occasions. Ancient Egyptians are credited with“inventing”the birthday celebration. And ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition but rightfully realized that a dessert would make the celebration all the more meaningful. So they baked moon­shaped cakes to offer up to the moon.__3__ It wasn't just the ancient Egyptians and Greeks who celebrated with sweet cakes.__4__And it's believed that the original birthday cake came from them. Rather than just celebrating birthdays, though，ancient Rome was known for celebrating all things with a cake including wedding，but there was an exception—the birthdays celebrated were only for men who were citizens，and they had to be famous. Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from the 18th­century German celebration. On the morning of a child's birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the child's age plus one.__5__The birthday child would make a wish，try to blow out all the candles in one breath，and dig in. A．Ancient Romans also had their traditions. B．Rather，they were symbolic of the noble class. C．Ancient Greeks made the first birthday cakes. D．On birthday，children would eat cakes made by their mums. E．They also decorated the cakes to make them shine like the moon. F．This extra candle was called the light of hope for another new year. G．However, they're the ones who first came up with the idea to do so. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蛋糕的起源以及它的发展史。 1．G　[根据上文“It seems a bit strange to imagine ancient Egyptians celebrating their birthdays with layered cakes topped with lighted candles.”说明这是古埃及人的一种怪异的想法，结合选项G项“However, they're the ones who first came up with the idea to do so.(然而，他们是最先提出这个想法的人。)”上下文紧密连接，和上文意思一致，其中they指代的就是ancient Egyptians。] 2．B　[根据上文“The first birthday cakes were nothing of what they are today and weren't even called birthday cakes.”说明过去的生日蛋糕与今天的生日蛋糕完全不同。下文“At that time only they could afford to celebrate with something sweet. That is how cake became associated with special occasions.”说明蛋糕的特殊性。故可推断空格处内容为过去的蛋糕和现在的蛋糕的不同的原因。结合选项B项“Rather，they were symbolic of the noble class.(相反，它们是贵族阶级的象征。)”解释不同的原因，上下文语意连贯。] 3．E　[根据上文“So they baked moon­shaped cakes to offer up to the moon.”说明对蛋糕的设计和用意。结合选项E项“They also decorated the cakes to make them shine like the moon.(他们还装饰蛋糕，使它们像月亮一样发光。)”说明对蛋糕的装饰，上下文意思一致，是对上文的语意的递进，上下文语意连贯。] 4．A　[根据上文“It wasn't just the ancient Egyptians and Greeks who celebrated with sweet cakes.”；下文“And it's believed that the original birthday cake came from them.”可推断空格处内容为还有其他国家或者地方有这样的传统习俗。结合选项A项“Ancient Romans also had their traditions.(古罗马人也有自己的传统。)”符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。] 5．F　[根据上文“On the morning of a child's birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the child's age plus one.”说明点燃蜡烛的寓意。下文“The birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in.”也是说明蜡烛的用意。故可推断空格处内容与蜡烛有关。结合选项F项“This extra candle was called the light of hope for another new year.(这支额外的蜡烛被称为新的一岁的希望之光。)”符合此推断，说明蜡烛的寓意，和上下文内容一致，上下文语意连贯。] 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
