“When I was young, I told my mother that I would go to China to learn kung fu one day. She didn’t believe it at the time. When I got there, I immediately called her and said, ‘Mom, guess where I am. I’m at the Shaolin Temple!’,” says Max Yollando, a young man from Coted’Ivoire, sharing his attachment for Chinese culture.
Yollando is also known as Yanming, the Chinese name he was given by his teacher at the Shaolin Temple, where the “Shaolin kung fu” was born, and which today is like a magnet (磁铁) for fans from all over the world.
At the time, Yollando was a student at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny University in Abidjan. Motivated by his passion for Chinese culture, he signed up at the Confucius Institute to study Chinese. In late 2016, he had the opportunity to visit the temple in Henan Province on a three-month exchange. This experience defined his close relationship with traditional Chinese culture.
After returning to Cote d’Ivoire, Yollando continued to practice Chinese and study traditional Chinese culture. In July 2017, he returned to the Shaolin Temple again and remained there for six years. His years at the temple reading, exercising, practicing kung fu and meditation (冥想) greatly changed him, and allowed him to better understand and appreciate traditional Chinese culture.
He says the most impressive things he noticed that rooted in Chinese culture are the love of work, respect and recognition. At the end of 2022, when he completed his studies at the temple, he began working at a Shaolin cultural center in Zambia. The first of its kind in Africa, the center is home to 30 orphans (孤儿), who are taught Chinese language and traditional Chinese culture, including kung fu, as part of the course.
For Yollando, the purpose of studying Chinese culture was to be able to return to Africa to introduce Chinese values to his compatriots (同胞). “The culture fascinated me because in China, people make an effort to work better, and they are very respectful and grateful to their family and country,” he says.
4. Which can replace the underlined word “attachment” in paragraph 1?
A. Confusion. B. Disappointment. C. Affection. D. Investigation.
5. What made Yollando truly related to traditional Chinese culture?
A. Learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute.
B. Visiting the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province.
C. Reading traditional Chinese culture books.
D. Working at a Shaolin cultural center.
6. Which of the following can best describe Yollando?
A. Brave. B. Determined. C. Humorous. D. Organized.
7. What can we learn about the Shaolin cultural center in Zambia?
A. Its courses are all about Chinese culture. B. It was funded by the Shaolin Temple.
C. It is an official authorized agency. D. It is a charity.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了来自科特迪瓦的Max Yollando从小热爱中国功夫,在少林寺学习了六年,回到非洲后,他致力于传播中国传统文化。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“When I was young, I told my mother that I would go to China to learn kung fu one day. She didn’t believe it at the time. When I got there, I immediately called her and said, ‘Mom, guess where I am. I’m at the Shaolin Temple!’(我小时候告诉妈妈,有一天我会去中国学习功夫。当时她不相信。当我到了那里,我立刻打电话给她说,‘妈妈,猜猜我在哪里。我在少林寺!’)”可推知,这是Max Yollando在分享自己对中国文化喜爱,推测划线单词表示“喜爱”,与Affection意义相近。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In late 2016, he had the opportunity to visit the temple in Henan Province on a three-month exchange. This experience defined his close relationship with traditional Chinese culture. (2016年底,他有机会参观了河南省的寺庙,进行了为期三个月的交流。这段经历决定了他与中国传统文化的密切关系)”可知,参观河南少林寺并进行交流这一经历使得Max Yollando接触中国传统文化,真正与中国传统文化紧密相连。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was young, I told my mother that I would go to China to learn kung fu one day. She didn’t believe it at the time. When I got there, I immediately called her and said, ‘Mom, guess where I am.

This experience defined his close relationship with traditional Chinese culture. (2016年底,他有机会参观了河南省的寺庙,进行了为期三个月的交流。这段经历决定了他与中国传统文化的密切关系)”以及第四段“In July 2017, he returned to the Shaolin Temple again and remained there for six years.

C
A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections(注射)and other unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated(接种疫苗)against COVID-19. Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting vaccinated.
The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate(膨胀)in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while subjected to a medium heat stimulation, experienced less pain in the test than those who did not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply by lessening the experience of pain through using the robot.
The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured cortisol levels from the participants’ saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed.
The study proved that holding the robot can case the experience of patients who were receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.
8. What is the function of the robot?
A. To assist doctors in injecting accurately.
B. To help relieve people’s pain from injections.
C. To evaluate patients’ physical and mental health.
D. To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
9. What does the underlined word “lessening” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Detecting.
B. Increasing.
C. Recording.
D. Decreasing.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Methods of testing the effectiveness of the robot.
B. Reasons for conducting the experiment on the robot.
C. The advantages of the new robot in the medical field.
D. The process of reducing people’s fear of injections.
11. What will researchers probably do next?
A. Evaluate the risk of the robot.
B. Develop other devices for medical treatment.
C. Promote the application of the robot.
D Carry out more tests on the robot.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本的一项最新研究:可穿戴的软体机器人可以帮助减轻痛苦和保护人们免受焦虑。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety.(该机器人的目的是帮助减轻疼痛和保护人们免受焦虑)”可知,机器人的功能是帮助人们减轻注射带来的疼痛。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply(试验证明,疼痛和焦虑感可以大大减轻)”和“the experience of pain(痛苦的体验)”可以推知,此处应该是指“减轻”痛苦的体验,所以推测出画线词是“减轻”的意思。故选D项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. (研究小组以握紧手的姿势为基础,检查了参与者在特定条件下使用可穿戴机器人时的效果)”可知,本段主要是讲测试机器人有效性的方法。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.(研究团队希望通过这项研究来改进机器人在疼痛情况下的使用,例如进行医疗注射或类似情况)”可推知,研究人员下一步可能会促进机器人的应用。故选C项。
D
A smoke bomb from a party started a major blaze (火焰) near Los Angeles in September,just one of many recent wildfires ignited (引燃) by people. Now, an analysis of satellite data shows human-caused blazes spread much faster and kill more trees than ones ignited by lightning.
Fire has always been a part of California’s natural history. But several centuries of human settlement have created new conditions that promote its spread.Studies have shown human ignition is to blame for 84% of all wildfires in the United States,and 97% of all those that threaten homes.
Human-caused fires always seemed more extreme, says Stijn Hantson,a fire ecologist at the University of California,Irvine,who led the new research. But measurements of how fast they spread and their impacts on ecosystems (生态系统) in California had not been explored, he notes.
To examine those differences, Hantson and his colleagues analyzed satellite data for 214 wildfires in California between 2012 and 2018.Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns,the team reports.The faster spreading fires also burned more violently and killed “double or triple” the trees as lightning-caused ones.
However, there is no fundamental difference in the chemistry of a human-caused blaze. “A fire is a fire” Hantson says. “It’s the surrounding things that matter.” Causes of fires ranging from improperly thrown cigarettes to sparking (冒火花) power lines could ignite a blaze on any given day, he says, while lightning strikes and dry thunderstorms only happen seasonally.
The researchers tracked meteorological data and found that human-caused fires were more likely to start on days with extreme weather conditions,and were more associated with drier,less-forested landscapes. This adds to scientists’ understanding of how humans are extending the fire season, says Nathan Mietkiewicz, an ecologist with the National Ecological Observation Network.
12. The author uses some data in paragraph 2 to show that ________.
A. wildfires are mostly caused by humans
B. most wildfires threaten people’s homes
C. wildfire is a part of California’s natural history
D. wildfires break out frequently in the United States
13. What’s the purpose of Hantson’s research?
A. To prove how extreme human-caused fires are.
B. To find out the causes and solutions of wildfires.
C. To explore the speed and effects of wildfires caused by humans.
D. To examine the differences between a human-caused blaze and a nature-caused one.
14. How is the result presented in paragraph 4?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing cause and effect.
D. By giving definitions.
15. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Human-caused fires and lightning-caused fires are basically different.
B. Lightning strikes and thunderstorms can always lead to wildfires.
C. Wildfires only happen in dry,less-forested areas.
D. Humans are to blame for the extended fire season.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇短文主要介绍了人为引发的火灾比起由闪电引发的火灾传播更快,对生态系统的影响更大。研究人员通过分析卫星数据发现,在加利福尼亚州的214起火灾中,人为引发的火灾每天传播大约1.83公里,比闪电引发的火灾传播速度快两倍。人为引发的火灾还更加猛烈,对树木的破坏程度是闪电引发火灾的两到三倍。此外,研究人员还发现,人为引发的火灾更容易在极端天气条件下发生,并且更多发生在干燥、森林覆盖较少的地区。这些研究结果有助于科学家们对人类如何延长火灾季节的理解。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Studies have shown human ignition is to blame for 84% of all wildfires in the United States, and 97% of all those that threaten homes(研究表明,美国84%的野火和97%的威胁家园的野火都是人为点火造成的)”可知,作者在第二段中使用了一些数据来表明野火大多是由人类引起的。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But measurements of how fast they spread and their impacts on ecosystems (生态系统) in California had not been explored, he notes.(但他指出,没有人研究过它们传播速度有多快,以及它们对加州生态系统的影响。)”及第四段“Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns, the team reports(人为引起的火灾通常每天蔓延约1.83公里,比闪电燃烧的速度快两倍多。)可知,汉森研究的目的是探索人类引起的野火的速度和影响。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns, the team reports.The faster spreading fires also burned more violently and killed “double or triple” the trees as lightning-caused ones. (研究小组报告称,人为引起的火灾通常每天蔓延约1.83公里,比闪电燃烧的速度快两倍多。火势蔓延得更快,燃烧得也更猛烈,闪电造成的树木死亡的数量是树木的“两倍或三倍”) ”可知,第四段主要通过对比来展示结果。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This adds to scientists’ understanding of how humans are extending the fire season, says Nathan Mietkiewicz, an ecologist with the National Ecological Observation Network(这增加了科学家对人类如何延长火灾季节的理解,”国家生态观察网络的生态学家内森·米特凯维奇说)”可推断,火灾季节延长应归咎于人类。故选D。

【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:一位专家预测:“人们参观游戏中出现的地方的这种趋势将不仅仅是一时的热情,而是一种长期的文化和经济力量。”固定结构not A but B意为“不是A,而是B”,用于强调but后的内容。故填but。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“There’s no way I’m leaving vacation early for Junior Varsity (JV) tennis tryouts (初中网球校队选拔赛) ,” my 14-year-old daughter Emily said. “I doubt whether I’ll make the team.”
“Do you want to be on the team?” I asked.
“I do, but I’ll probably get cut.”
As a little girl, Emily was fearless. But like many middle schoolers, she’ d started to become more cautious and less willing to make mistakes. My husband and I always said to our fearless daughter, “Honey, why not put yourself out there?”
Her brother Ben, then 15, looked up from his phone.
“Well, you know, you should try out for JV. You definitely won’t make the team if you don’t have a try,” he said.
“Are you out of your mind?” Emily asked. “If I take the challenge, what if I fail?”
“If you don’t take the challenge, what if you regret?” he responded.
We encouraged her to take risks, to own her goals, to learn from failure and to bounce back from disappointment. Finally, she was determined to tell the coach to have a try.
The night before JV tryouts, the coach emailed the player and explained the process. Each day, the girls could challenge the person directly above them on the ladder. At the end of the week, the top 12 players would make the team.
Emily came downstairs to show me the email, highlighting one data point in particular. “I told you,” she said. “I really am ranked the lowest. Number 25 out of 25 players.”
“Look on the bright side.” I said. “You’ve got nowhere to go but up.”
The next morning, she seemed a little nervous, and I patted her gently as encouragement. I drove her to the school playground, comforting “Come on, you have the whole week to find the result.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
When I picked her up that afternoon, she was noticeably calmer.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One week later, Emily, landing at Number 15, was cut from the tryout.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
When I picked her up that afternoon, she was noticeably calmer. She said she beat Number 24. “How did you make it?” I asked with curiosity. “I encouraged myself to look on the bright side instead of focusing on the final result.” she poured out her delight with her eyes filled with light and hope. Over the course of the week, she continued to challenge up, Number 22, Number 19... Obviously, the other girls were all technically better, but she spared no efforts to fight for every strike. To our relief, she didn’t give up halfway, but moved forward bravely with the tryout proceeding.
One week later, Emily, landing at Number 15, was cut from the tryout. I searched my mind for any possible word to comfort her, but in vain. However, she said with a determined look, “That’s OK. I have push myself out there.” What she really cared about was no longer the result itself but the fighting process. She accomplished more than what she had expected. Number 15, for her, was a sign to show a brand - new herself, overcoming her fear and stepping out of her comfort zone. Emily’s experience, for us, is a reminder: Learn to take risks, have the courage to fail and go down fighting.

“When I was young, I told my mother that I would go to China to learn kung fu one day. She didn’t believe it at the time. When I got there, I immediately called her and said, ‘Mom, guess where I am. I’m at the Shaolin Temple!’,” says Max Yollando, a young man from Coted’Ivoire, sharing his attachment for Chinese culture.
Yollando is also known as Yanming, the Chinese name he was given by his teacher at the Shaolin Temple, where the “Shaolin kung fu” was born, and which today is like a magnet (磁铁) for fans from all over the world.
At the time, Yollando was a student at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny University in Abidjan. Motivated by his passion for Chinese culture, he signed up at the Confucius Institute to study Chinese. In late 2016, he had the opportunity to visit the temple in Henan Province on a three-month exchange. This experience defined his close relationship with traditional Chinese culture.
After returning to Cote d’Ivoire, Yollando continued to practice Chinese and study traditional Chinese culture. In July 2017, he returned to the Shaolin Temple again and remained there for six years. His years at the temple reading, exercising, practicing kung fu and meditation (冥想) greatly changed him, and allowed him to better understand and appreciate traditional Chinese culture.
He says the most impressive things he noticed that rooted in Chinese culture are the love of work, respect and recognition. At the end of 2022, when he completed his studies at the temple, he began working at a Shaolin cultural center in Zambia. The first of its kind in Africa, the center is home to 30 orphans (孤儿), who are taught Chinese language and traditional Chinese culture, including kung fu, as part of the course.
For Yollando the purpose of studying Chinese culture was to be able to return to Africa to introduce Chinese values to his compatriots (同胞). “The culture fascinated me because in China, people make an effort to work better, and they are very respectful and grateful to their family and country,” he says.
4. Which can replace the underlined word “attachment” in paragraph 1?
A. Confusion. B. Disappointment. C. Affection. D. Investigation.
5. What made Yollando truly related to traditional Chinese culture?
A. Learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute.
B. Visiting the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province.
C. Reading traditional Chinese culture books.
D. Working at a Shaolin cultural center.
6. Which of the following can best describe Yollando?
A. Brave. B. Determined. C. Humorous. D. Organized.
7. What can we learn about the Shaolin cultural center in Zambia?
A. Its courses are all about Chinese culture. B. It was funded by the Shaolin Temple.
C. It is an official authorized agency. D. It is a charity.
C
A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections(注射)and other unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated(接种疫苗)against COVID-19. Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting vaccinated.
The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate(膨胀)in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while subjected to a medium heat stimulation, experienced less pain in the test than those who did not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply by lessening the experience of pain through using the robot.
The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured cortisol levels from the participants’ saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed.
The study proved that holding the robot can case the experience of patients who were receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.

A smoke bomb from a party started a major blaze (火焰) near Los Angeles in September,just one of many recent wildfires ignited (引燃) by people. Now, an analysis of satellite data shows human-caused blazes spread much faster and kill more trees than ones ignited by lightning.
Fire has always been a part of California’s natural history. But several centuries of human settlement have created new conditions that promote its spread.Studies have shown human ignition is to blame for 84% of all wildfires in the United States,and 97% of all those that threaten homes.
Human-caused fires always seemed more extreme, says Stijn Hantson,a fire ecologist at the University of California,Irvine,who led the new research. But measurements of how fast they spread and their impacts on ecosystems (生态系统) in California had not been explored, he notes.
To examine those differences, Hantson and his colleagues analyzed satellite data for 214 wildfires in California between 2012 and 2018.Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns,the team reports.The faster spreading fires also burned more violently and killed “double or triple” the trees as lightning-caused ones.
However, there is no fundamental difference in the chemistry of a human-caused blaze. “A fire is a fire” Hantson says. “It’s the surrounding things that matter.” Causes of fires ranging from improperly thrown cigarettes to sparking (冒火花) power lines could ignite a blaze on any given day, he says, while lightning strikes and dry thunderstorms only happen seasonally.
The researchers tracked meteorological data and found that human-caused fires were more likely to start on days with extreme weather conditions,and were more associated with drier,less-forested landscapes. This adds to scientists’ understanding of how humans are extending the fire season, says Nathan Mietkiewicz, an ecologist with the National Ecological Observation Network.
12. The author uses some data in paragraph 2 to show that ________.
A. wildfires are mostly caused by humans
B. most wildfires threaten people’s homes
C. wildfire is a part of California’s natural history
D. wildfires break out frequently in the United States
13. What’s the purpose of Hantson’s research?
A. To prove how extreme human-caused fires are.
B. To find out the causes and solutions of wildfires.
C. To explore the speed and effects of wildfires caused by humans.
D. To examine the differences between a human-caused blaze and a nature-caused one.
14. How is the result presented in paragraph 4?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing cause and effect.
D. By giving definitions.
15. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Human-caused fires and lightning-caused fires are basically different.
B. Lightning strikes and thunderstorms can always lead to wildfires.
C. Wildfires only happen in dry,less-forested areas.
D. Humans are to blame for the extended fire season.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“There’s no way I’m leaving vacation early for Junior Varsity (JV) tennis tryouts (初中网球校队选拔赛) ,” my 14-year-old daughter Emily said. “I doubt whether I’ll make the team.”
“Do you want to be on the team?” I asked.
“I do, but I’ll probably get cut.”
As a little girl, Emily was fearless. But like many middle schoolers, she’ d started to become more cautious and less willing to make mistakes. My husband and I always said to our fearless daughter, “Honey, why not put yourself out there?”
Her brother Ben, then 15, looked up from his phone.
“Well, you know, you should try out for JV. You definitely won’t make the team if you don’t have a try,” he said.
“Are you out of your mind?” Emily asked. “If I take the challenge, what if I fail?”
“If you don’t take the challenge, what if you regret?” he responded.
We encouraged her to take risks, to own her goals, to learn from failure and to bounce back from disappointment. Finally, she was determined to tell the coach to have a try.
The night before JV tryouts, the coach emailed the player and explained the process. Each day, the girls could challenge the person directly above them on the ladder. At the end of the week, the top 12 players would make the team.
Emily came downstairs to show me the email, highlighting one data point in particular. “I told you,” she said. “I really am ranked the lowest. Number 25 out of 25 players.”
“Look on the bright side.” I said. “You’ve got nowhere to go but up.”
The next morning, she seemed a little nervous, and I patted her gently as encouragement. I drove her to the school playground, comforting “Come on, you have the whole week to find the result.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
When I picked her up that afternoon, she was noticeably calmer.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One week later, Emily, landing at Number 15, was cut from the tryout.
