It started with people dancing in the street rather than in studio（练功房）. Break dancing and the Melbourne Shuffle are two examples of street dance. Many of the hip-pop dances are popular street dance. Even rave dancing is a type of street dance. Street dance changes and improves all the time as people try different moves. It is a form of dancing that boys really enjoy. A school in Britain has seen how street dance has helped its pupils. They introduced it as a subject at school. Dance teachers went to the school to teach the students how to perform. The dances were rehearsed at lunch breaks and after school. Many of the students were from homes with many problems. The students also used to behave badly. When the street dance classes started, it seemed to solve many of these problems. The students felt that they could express their feelings in dancing. If they were angry, they could do some of the dance moves and throw away those feelings. If they were angry at something, dancing helped them to be more peaceful. Another good thing was that the students felt better about themselves. The students focused on other subjects more. They got better grades. Taking part in the street dance also taught the students to work better with others. They needed discipline（纪律）to come to practice and to learn the dance steps. They entered a dance competition and won! This was very good for them. The younger students began following them. They are active role models.

Along with its perfect performance, the background music which was played by the ancient instrument—Qin was also a highlight. One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven-string zither（弦）, also known as the guqin, one of the four arts—along with go, calligraphy and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and represents China’s solo musical instrument tradition. At first, the guqin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in the Zhou dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang. Ambience was important in playing the Chinese zither. Usually, it was practiced in quiet setting and never for public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes（回音）from the mountains, until the musician found himself at one with nature. Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered ideal（理想的）for playing the guqin. Wang Wei（701—761）, a highly talented man of the Tang dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most. Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements（《梅花三弄》）, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank（《平沙落雁》）and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute（《胡笳十八拍》）. Now, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（人类非物质文化遗产）in 2003. 16．Today, the guqin has _________ strings.

From line drawing to coloring, he gradually felt a stronger and deeper connection with the character. “Sometimes, I failed to get myself out of the character and just cannot stop crying. Such immersive experiences make me even more deeply respect the character,” said Zhang Han.

The IOC is trying to make the Games more “youthful”, with sports that young people do in their spare time. “We want to take sport to the youth.” said IOC President Thomas Bach. To be added to the Olympics, a sport must be practised by men in at least 75 countries on four continents (洲) and by women in no fewer than 40 countries on three continents. Also, it should be competitive and requires training just like other sports. Dancers need to have strong upper body and core strength. “It’s great that it gives us more recognition as a sport,” said British break dancer Karam . 回答下面5个问题， 每题答案不超过6个词。 51．What has been added into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games? 52．When did the dance style first appear? 53．Did Michael Jackson like this dance style? 54．Who was crazy about the dance style? 55．What do dancers need to practise breaking ? 六、书面表达(本大题共1小题，共10分) 56．假设你是李梅，你的新西兰笔友Jack希望你能推荐一部中国经典电影作品。请根据以下内容，用英语介绍你推荐的电影并陈述理由。 Name              MULAN Movie Introduction   join the army, dress up like.…, take one’s place, .….

It started with people dancing in the street rather than in studio（练功房）. Break dancing and the Melbourne Shuffle are two examples of street dance. Many of the hip-pop dances are popular street dance. Even rave dancing is a type of street dance. Street dance changes and improves all the time as people try different moves. It is a form of dancing that boys really enjoy. A school in Britain has seen how street dance has helped its pupils. They introduced it as a subject at school. Dance teachers went to the school to teach the students how to perform. The dances were rehearsed at lunch breaks and after school. Many of the students were from homes with many problems. The students also used to behave badly. When the street dance classes started, it seemed to solve many of these problems. The students felt that they could express their feelings in dancing. If they were angry, they could do some of the dance moves and throw away those feelings. If they were angry at something, dancing helped them to be more peaceful. Another good thing was that the students felt better about themselves. The students focused on other subjects more. They got better grades. Taking part in the street dance also taught the students to work better with others. They needed discipline（纪律）to come to practice and to learn the dance steps. They entered a dance competition and won! This was very good for them. The younger students began following them. They are active role models. Today bands have formed that combine（结合）singing with street dance. Street dance is becoming a popular culture. 11．How many types of street dance are mentioned? A．2. B．3. C．4.

Along with its perfect performance, the background music which was played by the ancient instrument—Qin was also a highlight. One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven-string zither（弦）, also known as the guqin, one of the four arts—along with go, calligraphy and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and represents China’s solo musical instrument tradition. At first, the guqin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in the Zhou dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang. Ambience was important in playing the Chinese zither. Usually, it was practiced in quiet setting and never for public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes（回音）from the mountains, until the musician found himself at one with nature. Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered ideal（理想的）for playing the guqin. Wang Wei（701—761）, a highly talented man of the Tang dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most. Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements（《梅花三弄》）, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank（《平沙落雁》）and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute（《胡笳十八拍》）. Now, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（人类非物质文化遗产）in 2003. 16．Today, the guqin has _________ strings.

Breaking might be one of the very strange sports to be added to the Games, as it’s often seen as more of an art form than a sport. The dance style first appeared on the streets of New York in the 1970s. In the 1980s, breaking swept around the world when it was adopted (采用) by pop stars such as Michael Jackson. Young people worldwide were crazy about such kind of dance style. Over the past few years, there has been a talk that the Olympic Games have become less interesting to young people. The IOC is trying to make the Games more “youthful”, with sports that young people do in their spare time. “We want to take sport to the youth.” said IOC President Thomas Bach. To be added to the Olympics, a sport must be practised by men in at least 75 countries on four continents (洲) and by women in no fewer than 40 countries on three continents. Also, it should be competitive and requires training just like other sports. Dancers need to have strong upper body and core strength. “It’s great that it gives us more recognition as a sport,” said British break dancer Karam . 回答下面5个问题， 每题答案不超过6个词。 51．What has been added into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games? 52．When did the dance style first appear? 53．Did Michael Jackson like this dance style? 54．Who was crazy about the dance style? 55．What do dancers need to practise breaking ? 六、书面表达(本大题共1小题，共10分) 56．假设你是李梅，你的新西兰笔友Jack希望你能推荐一部中国经典电影作品。请根据以下内容，用英语介绍你推荐的电影并陈述理由。 Name              MULAN Movie Introduction   join the army, dress up like.…, take one’s place, .….

I’d like to recommend a movie to you called Mulan. It tells about a Chinese girl, Hua Mulan. She made a decision to take her father’s place when he was asked to join the army. She dressed up like a man and behaved so bravely that nobody considered her as a girl. Mulan is my favorite for the following reasons. First, we can find a completely different Chinese girl. Second, Mulan showed her love for her family and country, which is worth learning. Last but not least, the movie teaches us everyone can be successful as long as he tries his best.
