Zhang Kui first learned he could perfectly mimic (模仿) the sounds of animals when he was a child. The 29-year-old, who grew up in a poor family in Qiyang, Hunan Province, today is a full-time performer of Kouji.
Zhang was 15 when his father died in 2003. He dropped out of school and joined his uncle’s theater. Zhang bought CDs to study how to mimic the sounds of musical instruments and animals. He performed shortly afterward at a small theatre. “Although I wasn’t that skilled, I got a lot of applause.It was my first time on the stage.And then more and more audience came to watch my performances,” he said.
He moved to Guilin in 2004, where he found work as a waiter at a karaoke bar. In 2005, Zhang went to Guangdong Province and performed outside supermarkets to sell shampoo. “They paid me less, so I had to perform at bars at night,” said Zhang.He also worked as a construction worker. In 2007, he went to Beijing to learn from Niu Yuliang, a Beijing Kouji master. He worked as a gatekeeper to pay his way. He went to Niu on weekends and during the holidays to learn.
Zhang’s skills improved and he has since performed on more than 20 television programs. In September 2013, he was invited to Switzerland, and in 2014, he performed in Africa, Europe and North America.
Last year, he made a short film about the art and said it was the first film on the subject. The film will be on this year, and he said he hoped to draw more attention to the art. He also plans to give lectures on this traditional art at universities.

With more and more kids picking up bats and gloves, efforts to build a “baseball ecosystem” in China continue to produce impressive results. And with Major League Baseball (MLB) a key contributor to the drive, Chinese kids are learning from the very best in the business.
“The baseball environment has changed greatly since MLB entered the Chinese market. When we first came to China in 2007, the baseball population in the country was very limited,” said Tony Qi, managing director of MLB China. “But in 2019, the active baseball population had reached over 20 million. When we first organized the youth baseball match in five Chinese cities in 2008, each city had only one age group to take part. But this year we have 20 cities, and in some cities we have competitions for five age groups.”
Around 400 teams have taken part in the MLB China Cup, a nationwide youth competition designed to encourage kids to take up baseball. During one recent season in Beijing, there were about 100 teams that wanted to take part in the MLB Cup. So, MLB, the Chinese Baseball Association and local baseball organizations are all working together for a brighter Chinese baseball future.
Audiences have also been attracted by the 2020 documentary Tough Out, which tells the lives of a group of Chinese teenagers whose lives are changed through baseball. “In the documentary, the kids build a new home in their baseball team, together with their coaches in a Beijing suburb,” said Qi. “The notion (观念) of home is very important in baseball culture. Through baseball, these kids gained home, friendship and confidence. They also gained the courage to fight against the hard situations they found themselves in. We’re planning to produce more content like this to make baseball culture popular.”

A. By sorting out the facts. B. By listing benefits.
C. By making comparisons. D. By stressing importance.

A. To show Chinese baseball future.
B. To inspire kids to learn baseball.
C. To award more prizes to the youth.
D. To work with local baseball organizations.

B. It gives kids courage to take part in baseball matches.
C. It has greatly changed the life of Chinese teenagers.

推理判断题。根据第二段中Qi所说的话“When we first came to China in 2007, the baseball population in the country was very limited (当我们2007年第一次来到中国时,这个国家的棒球人群的数量非常有限)”和“But in 2019, the active baseball population had reached over 20 million.

Born in a musical family in 1925 in New Orleans, Renald Richard spent his childhood filled with music. At the age of 13, he went to see a band perform at a church where he fell in love with trumpet. So he started lessons on it, and later played it in the high school band. After high school, he was sent into military service and played his trumpet in the United States Navy Band. After ending up studying music at Xavier University of Louisiana, he played clubs on the famous Bourbon Street and also toured with many bands.
In 1954, Richard was approached by Jeff Brown, the manager of musician Ray Charles. He invited Richard to join Ray Charles’ new band. “To be selected by Ray Charles was an honor to me. Ray Charles was exacting.” said Richard, “He was a perfectionist and was rather demanding about his music.”
Renald Richard toured all over the South and West with Ray Charles. Sitting in the back seat of the car on the way to a concert, Richard wrote the song “I Got a Woman” for Charles, which became Ray Charles’ first number one radio hit. In 1954,Renald Richard left Ray Charles’ band. However, he stayed friendly with Ray Charles over the years. He became the high school’s band director in his hometown until 1962. Four years later, he moved again to New York City. Over the years, Richard has written many other songs that have been recorded by artists including Joe Turner, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley to name a few. Living now in Southern Florida, Richard is still active at the age of 92. As you can see, Renald Richard’s musical days are by no means near an end.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了中国诗歌的两种基本类型以及诗歌的发展。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:现代中国诗歌指的是现代风格的诗歌,而不是用中国古典语言写的传统诗歌。refer to是固定搭配意为“提到,指的是”。故填to。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:现代中国诗歌指的是现代风格的诗歌,而不是用中国古典语言写的传统诗歌。分析句子结构可知write在句中应用非谓语动词形式,the traditional poetry与write之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填written。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国古典诗歌的一个高潮出现在唐代,在这一时期,中国诗歌几乎融入了文学阶层职业和社会生活的方方面面。此处为“介词+关系代词”结构非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the Tang Dynasty,作介词during的宾语,指物,故用关系代词which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:中国古典诗歌的一个高潮出现在唐代,在这一时期,中国诗歌几乎融入了文学阶层职业和社会生活的方方面面。修饰名词life应用形容词social,作定语。故填social。
【40题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:与传统押韵的中国诗歌不同,现代中国诗歌通常没有特定的模式。pattern为可数名词,前无限定词,故用复数。故填patterns。
【41题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:诗歌在1919年五四运动后发生了革命。poetry与revolutionize之间是被动关系,又是发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态。主语为Poetry,谓语用单数。故填was revolutionized。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:20世纪早期的诗人如胡适、徐志摩和郭沫若试图通过采用西方模式来打破中国诗歌的传统。由Eary20th-century可知,用一般过去时。故填sought。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:诗歌在中国一直受到高度重视。修饰been held应用副词consistently作状语。故填consistently。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国文化中,诗歌提供了一种公开和私下表达深层情感的形式,让同行、读者和学者洞察中国作家的内心生活。分析句子结构可知offer在句中应用非谓语动词形式,且poetry与offer之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。故填offering。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:西方人也发现这是一个有趣和令人愉快的研究领域。field为可数名词,表示泛指且interesting是发音以元音音素开头的单词,应用an。故填an。

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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally.

With more and more kids picking up bats and gloves, efforts to build a “baseball ecosystem” in China continue to produce impressive results. And with Major League Baseball (MLB) a key contributor to the drive, Chinese kids are learning from the very best in the business.
“The baseball environment has changed greatly since MLB entered the Chinese market. When we first came to China in 2007, the baseball population in the country was very limited,” said Tony Qi, managing director of MLB China. “But in 2019, the active baseball population had reached over 20 million. When we first organized the youth baseball match in five Chinese cities in 2008, each city had only one age group to take part. But this year we have 20 cities, and in some cities we have competitions for five age groups.”
Around 400 teams have taken part in the MLB China Cup, a nationwide youth competition designed to encourage kids to take up baseball. During one recent season in Beijing, there were about 100 teams that wanted to take part in the MLB Cup. So, MLB, the Chinese Baseball Association and local baseball organizations are all working together for a brighter Chinese baseball future.
Audiences have also been attracted by the 2020 documentary Tough Out, which tells the lives of a group of Chinese teenagers whose lives are changed through baseball. “In the documentary, the kids build a new home in their baseball team, together with their coaches in a Beijing suburb,” said Qi. “The notion (观念) of home is very important in baseball culture. Through baseball, these kids gained home, friendship and confidence. They also gained the courage to fight against the hard situations they found themselves in. We’re planning to produce more content like this to make baseball culture popular.”
8. How does the author show the great change of baseball environment in China?
A. By sorting out the facts. B. By listing benefits.
C. By making comparisons. D. By stressing importance.
9. Why is the MLB China Cup designed?
A. To show Chinese baseball future.
B. To inspire kids to learn baseball.

A. It attracts more people to live in Beijing suburbs.
B. It gives kids courage to take part in baseball matches.
C. It has greatly changed the life of Chinese teenagers.
D. It plays a part in making baseball popular in China.
