For her, 15 these skills and theories was not about becoming a TCM doctor but rather about hugging a new lifestyle. She is not an (a) 16 example of young people becoming interested in TCM. With the rise of various social media, young people can 17 get the knowledge of TCM through videos and 18 channels. More and more young people are willing to try TCM. A survey by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3 percent of the 1,000 young people who 19 it had tried different TCM treatments. “I have seen a 20 number of young people come to me for neck and back pains, which are usually related to the elderly,” said Ma Huifang, a TCM doctor.

Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV often report boxing matches. Professional (职业的) boxers get a lot of attention, and successful boxers are treated as huge heroes. It seems to me that some people find it interesting. When they watch a boxing match, they imagine what it’s like to win, and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. Sometimes fans cheer for a boxer because the boxer comes from their own country, and if the boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. I don’t understand why they like aggressive (富于攻击性的) sports like boxing. Maybe because they feel to be aggressive from time to time, but they cannot show the feeling in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this feeling. However, there is a bad side to boxing. It can be a very dangerous sport. Although boxers wear gloves and even helmets during the matches, there are often accidents. Boxers often hurt their heads badly and, sometimes, they are even risking their lives. As for me, I don’ t like aggressive sports like boxing. I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV, and we celebrated more people from non-aggressive sports as heroes. Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people is not something that should be regarded as a sport. 29．The writer started the passage by ______. A．listing facts B．giving examples C．asking questions D．comparing changes 30．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．Some boxers are regarded as heroes. B．Boxing can make people be winners. C．Boxing is popular among some people. D．People have different opinions about boxing. 31．Why doesn’t the writer like boxing? A．The writer doesn’t like competitive sports. B．The writer thinks boxing shouldn’t be a sport. C．The writer thinks boxing is popular and interesting. D．The writer thinks boxing is aggressive and dangerous. C Have you ever watched a silent film and tried to guess what the characters were saying? Body language, like facial expressions, is the mirror of a person’s feelings. It helps us communicate without saying much at all. Sometimes we can share the common sense from culture to culture. Turning red-faced shows one’s anger, shock, or excitement. The wide eyes with a half-opened mouth mean surprise. Also, some other body movements can express the same meanings in different cultures. For example, being back in one’s seat and yawning at a talk show people are not interested, and looking at the watch from time to time in a conversation means people have something to do in a hurry. However, not all body languages can show the same meanings in different cultures. What holds true for Indians may not be the same in Africa. First of all, in some cultures, people respect and encourage the direct eye contact. In English, there is a saying, “Don’t trust anyone who won’t look at you in the eye.” In many countries, direct eye contact between two people is considered important. According to most Western cultures, if a person looks directly at you, it is a sign that the person is honest and sincere and even can be trusted. While many cultures believe that direct eye contact from a child to an adult is an act of disrespect. The OK sign, which is commonly used in many cultures, also has different meanings across the cultures. It means agreement in North American culture. But to French, it means “zero” or “valueless”, not “fine” or “OK”. Touching is another example. At times, saying hello could turn into a disaster if one does not consider the use of touch in another culture. A general and accepted way of saying “Hello” in Western culture is a simple handshake. A great deal of importance has been placed on how one should shake hands. So, the next time you decide to travel to another country, besides looking up places to visit, a quick search or a book can also guide you on how to use proper body languages to better communicate with the local people, and avoid being impolite to them during your stay! 32．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．A silent film. B．The mirror. C．Body language. D．A person’s feeling. 33．According to the passage, which one has the similar meaning from culture to culture? A．Turning red-faced. B．Direct eye contact. C．The OK sign. D．A simple handshake. 34．Which picture shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Body language is more important. B．Body language helps you go travelling. C．Body language changes among cultures. D．Body language influences communication. D Dancing is popular all over the world. People dance in theaters, in parks or in their own living room. But Yang Liu, a woman in Guizhou, dances in an unusual place. Her stage is a single bamboo pole. Yang is a performer of bamboo drifting (独竹漂). It is a traditional skill in the girl’s hometown. In ancient times, the local people crossed the rivers by riding on a bamboo pole. Now bamboo drifting has developed into a folk sport. Yang started to learn bamboo drifting at the age of seven. The bamboo pole is very slippery and it never completely stops moving. Yang fell into the water again and again. But the girl didn’t want to give up. She always got back up on the pole and tried again. She practiced hard every day for three years. Finally, she was able to keep her balance on the pole. But Yang didn’t just stop there. She wanted to live out her dream of becoming a dancer on a bamboo pole. The girl practiced many difficult movements on the pole. She failed countless times, but she never stopped trying. Her hard work finally paid off. Now 27. Yang has made a name for herself as a dancer on a bamboo pole. People can’t believe their eyes whenever they watch her performances. Through Yang’s dances, many people now know about bamboo drifting. They have discovered the beauty of this traditional skill. 36．We can learn from the article that bamboo drifting ______. A．has become a folk sport B．is popular all over the world C．can be found only in Guizhou D．helped local people cross rivers 37．How long did it take Yang to find balance on a bamboo pole? A．A year.

Once upon a time, dragons were strong but didn’t have horns (角). They could fly in the sky and swim in the sea. The dragon wanted to be the leader, more than the Tiger King. So, it battled with the tiger, but neither could win. The Jade Emperor decided to end their fight. So he asked them both to heaven. On his way to heaven, the dragon borrowed horns from a rooster. In heaven, the Jade Emperor was impressed by both the dragon and the tiger. He made both of them kings: the dragon of the sea and the tiger of the land. That’s how the dragon joined the animal signs. The dragon stayed in the water, keeping the horns to show his power. After hearing this, the rooster became angry, so we can still see roosters with red faces today. The dragon is not only the magical creature in the Chinese animal signs, but it’s very important in Chinese culture. It symbolizes power and magic. Emperors called themselves Sons of the Dragon, because dragons represent wildness, wisdom, and spirituality, with many stories about them. I wish you all a life as grand as a dragon’s, reaching for dreams with wisdom. 注：（答案不超过七个词） 61．Did the dragon win the battle with the tiger at first? 62．Why did the dragon keep the horns from the rooster? 63．Who was crowned (加冕) King by the Jade Emperor? 64．What does the underlined word “symbolize” mean in English? 65．What spirit can you learn from the dragon? 六、书面表达（满分20分） 好的文明习惯往往能体现个人文明素养。作为中学生，我们应善待他人、乐于助人、待人诚信……。请以“Being a Civilized (文明的) Student”为题，用英语写一篇短文，介绍你的看法和实际做法，发表在你校英语论坛上。 要求：1．词数90左右； 2．内容完整通顺，不得出现真实姓名等个人信息。 Being a Civilized Student __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
