Some locals are astonished by receiving traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from a foreigner, but Walker is confident in his path. He is among a growing number of foreigners engaging in TCM, mixing their Western backgrounds with ancient Chinese healing arts. Walker, from Britain, came to China in 2015, drawn by martial arts. While learning Shaolin kung fu in Henan, he developed a curiosity about Chinese culture and medicine. After a year of intensive Chinese study, he signed up in Henan University of Chinese Medicine. Now a graduate student specializing in acupuncture, he has treated over a thousand patients. “He is skilled in heartbeat diagnosis (诊断) and acupuncture,” says his teacher, Professor Yu Dongdong. “He can practise independently.” Under his Chinese name “Wuyan.” Bruno has become an online hit on the video-sharing platform Douyin, gathering over 900,000 followers. Balancing his roles as practitioner and internet celebrity, he presents local culture in fluent Henan dialect (方言), often alongside his local girlfriend. “Your grasp of the Henan dialect is even more authentic than mine,” comments one follower. Apparently, his cultural involvement has endeared him to many. He also treated his grandmother’s health problems with acupuncture, leading to her swift recovery. With his growing fan base, Brano feels a responsibility. “Posting videos was just a pastime, but now I want to participate in more meaningful projects,” he says. He plans to create bilingual videos promoting TCM and sharing stories of ancient Chinese medical experts. “I’m devoted to spreading awareness of TCM and its far-reaching cultural significance,” he adds. Whether in China or Britain, he plans to devote himself to TCM. “I will do anything to help people through TCM. That’s my calling.” 4. What does Bruno’s words imply in paragraph 1? A.

(英国学生布鲁诺·沃克在中国郑州对一名患者进行针灸治疗后说：“我并没有格格不入，我在属于我的地方。”)”可知，Bruno认为自己适合现在的环境。由此推知，他对目前的情况感到满足。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While learning Shaolin kung fu in Henan, he developed a curiosity about Chinese culture and medicine. After a year of intensive Chinese study, he signed up in Henan University of Chinese Medicine. (在河南学习少林功夫时，他对中国文化和医学产生了好奇心。经过一年深入的中文学习，他报名参加了河南中医药大学)”可知，Bruno在学习少林功夫时，对中国文化和中医产生了兴趣，从而决定学习中医。故选D项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Under his Chinese name “Wuyan.” Bruno has become an online hit on the video-sharing platform Douyin, gathering over 900,000 followers. Balancing his roles as practitioner and internet celebrity, he presents local culture in fluent Henan dialect (方言), often alongside his local girlfriend. “Your grasp of the Henan dialect is even more authentic than mine,” comments one follower. Apparently, his cultural involvement has endeared him to many. He also treated his grandmother’s health problems with acupuncture, leading to her swift recovery. (布鲁诺在视频分享平台抖音上走红，拥有90多万粉丝。他平衡了从业者和网络名人的角色，用流利的河南方言展示了当地文化，经常和他当地的女朋友在一起。一位追随者评论道：“你对河南方言的掌握甚至比我的更地道。”显然，他的文化参与使他深受许多人的喜爱。他还用针灸治疗了祖母的健康问题，使她迅速康复)”可知，第三段提到Bruno因在社交媒体上的表现和流利的方言表达，吸引了众多粉丝；他的文化融合使他在线上线下获得认可，强调了他在网络和现实生活中的人气。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了外国人Bruno通过学习和推广中医实现了文化融合，展现了中医作为独特文化方式的魅力，因此本文目的是突出中医中的一种独特文化融合现象。故选A项。 C College It means that you are finally going to leave your parents’ nest and experience a lot of personal freedom and independence. You’ll wear whatever you want. You’ll make new friends. And you are definitely ready to enjoy your time in “paradise”. However, college might be different than you have considered. When an English speaking contest was held in Beijing, about two-thirds of the 62 college students recalled their frustrations about their life in college. Many of them said they didn’t know what they were supposed to do in college. “Most of the time, I lingered around in my dorm, idling hours and hours away, watching entertainment shows or soap operas on the Internet, or chatting with roommates, ”Huang Xuan, 23, from Guangxi University, said of his first two years of college life. However, one day his mum asked him about his future plans after college. It was then that he realised his future would be ruined if he kept up such self-indulgence. Li Yan, 20, from Shenzhen University, suffered a loss of not being one of the “marked” students. She was neither the chairman of the Student Union nor the one with the highest scholarship. Sun Tingting, 21, from Suzhou University of Science and Technology, dominated all the exams with the highest scores, but she felt confused because when she was free, she could think of nothing else to do and no one else to talk to. Zhang Xin, 19, from Beijing Foreign Studies University, began to re- examine what “college” means after she noticed many graduates from elite schools ending up in a job that does not pay well. “Our future is not guaranteed by our college, but rather by how we reshape ourselves in college.” “Young people are experiencing ‘growing pains’,” said Li Fang, a mental health consultant. In the process of self-discovery, she thinks many Chinese young people suffer more than their peers in the West. Their independence comes much later. They are so used to relying on their parents that when independence suddenly comes in college, it can be difficult. “Relax,“ Li advised. “This is part of growing up.” 8. The underlined expression “idling hours and hours away” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”. A. killing time B. making use of time C saving time D. valuing time 9. Which of the following frustrations of college students are NOT mentioned in the passage? A. They are no longer the “best” students. B They have no friends to talk to in their spare time. C. They have trouble communicating with their parents. D. They realise that good college doesn’t guarantee a good job. 10. According to Li Fang, why do many Chinese young people suffer more than their peers in the West? A. They often abandon themselves to watching TV or shows on the Internet. B. They are accustomed to counting on their parents before coming to college. C. They have never left their parents’ nests. D. They are definitely ready to enjoy their time in college. 11. What is Li Fang’s advice to young people? A. Learn from their peers in the West. B. Consult a psychologist. C. Relax and consider this as part of growing up. D. Stop relying on their parents and learn to take responsibility. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种社会现象：许多大学生不知道在大学应该做什么。作者分析了其中的一些原因。 【8题详解】 词语猜测题。划线部分下文“watching entertainment shows or soap operas on the Internet, or chatting with roommates (在网上看娱乐节目或肥皂剧，或与室友聊天)”可知，这些事情都是在打发时间，第三段中划线部分的意思是“消磨时间”。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。文章第五段讲到“Li Yan, 20, from Shenzhen University, suffered a loss of not being one of the “marked” students. (20岁的李燕来自深圳大学，她因不在“被标记”学生之列而倍感失落)”、“but she felt confused because when she was free, she could think of nothing else to do and no one else to talk to. (但她感到困惑，因为当她有空的时候，她想不出其他事情可做，也没有其他人可以说话。)”以及“ Zhang Xin, 19, from Beijing Foreign Studies University, began to re- examine what “college” means after she noticed many graduates from elite schools ending up in a job that does not pay well. “Our future is not guaranteed by our college, but rather by how we reshape ourselves in college.”(19岁的张欣来自北京外国语大学，当她注意到许多名校毕业生最后都找到了收入不高的工作后，她开始重新审视“大学”的含义。“我们的未来不是由大学来保证的，而是由我们在大学里如何重塑自己来保证的。”)”可知，在大学生的挫折中，没有提到的是他们与父母交流有困难。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段讲到“Their independence comes much later. They are so used to relying on their parents that when independence suddenly comes in college, it can be difficult. (他们的独立来得更晚。他们如此习惯于依赖父母，以至于当独立在大学里突然到来时，可能会很困难。)”可知，根据李方的观点，许多中国年轻人比他们的西方同龄人遭受更多的痛苦是因为他们习惯于在上大学之前依靠父母。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到““Relax,“ Li advised. “This is part of growing up.”(‘放轻松，’李劝道‘这是成长的一部分。’)”可知，李方给年轻人的建议是“放松，把这当成成长的一部分”。故选C。 D Amsterdam has long had a problem with people throwing away bikes in the city’s rivers. But now, people will be able to park their bikes underwater and actually get them back thanks to a new underwater bike parking area. The city is hoping to ease bike parking by adding thousands of bike parking spots under Amsterdam’s Central Station. The Open Haven Front storage is set to open on January 26 with free bike parking for up to 24 hours, and inexpensive long-term options available as well. It also comes with easy access to the Central Station for those who need to commute (通勤) by bus or train, plus easy on-foot access to work in the busy part of the city. “It’s great that people can jump on their bikes, get to the station and continue their journey seamlessly.” Jeroen Wienen, a spokesperson for ProRail, said of the project in an interview. “The Netherlands is a real cycling country. A lot of people come to the station by bike, and we don’t want all those bikes lying around.” This new underwater station took several years and more than 60 million Euros to build. The shelters will be the largest in the city, with the Open Haven Front storage able to take 7,000 bicycles. To build the station, a lake had to be emptied to make room for the underwater storage facility, but when you live in a country where there are more bikes than people, finding a place to store them all is pretty important. In fact, another facility for an extra 4,000 bikes — cheaper at only 25 million Euros to build — also recently opened in Amsterdam. In recent years, the city invested (投资) 85 million Euros in bike parking alone! And perhaps more important than simply adding bike storage was the idea of closing the gap between cycling and train travel. Making the two run smoothly together allows more people to cycle to the train station, rather than driving to work. 12. What worries the Amsterdam government according to paragraph 1? A. Road safety. B. Heavy traffic. C. Car pollution. D. Bike parking. 13. What can be learned about the Open Haven Front storage? A. It is above a river. B. It is really affordable. C. It is the largest worldwide. D. It provides cheap bikes to ride. 14. What does the underlined word “seamlessly” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Slowly. B. Smoothly. C. Aimlessly. D. Awkwardly. 15. What does the author want to show by using the numbers in paragraph 4? A. The government’s huge contribution to the project. B. The challenge of building the station. C. The function of the station project. D. The role of bikes in Amsterdam. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了阿姆斯特丹新建的水下自行车停车场及其对城市交通的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Amsterdam has long had a problem with people throwing away bikes in the city’s rivers. But now, people will be able to park their bikes underwater-and actually get them back thanks to a new underwater bike parking area.(长期以来，阿姆斯特丹一直存在一个问题，那就是人们会把自行车扔进城市的河流里。但现在，人们将能够把自行车停放在水下，而且实际上还能取回来，这都得益于一个新的水下自行车停车区)”可知，阿姆斯特丹政府担心的是自行车停车问题。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Open Haven Front storage is set to open on January 26 with free bike parking for up to 24 hours, and inexpensive long-term options available as well.(“开放避风港前沿”停车场定于 1 月 26 日开放，提供长达 24 小时的免费自行车停放服务，同时也有价格实惠的长期停车选择)”可知，Open Haven Front存储设施非常实惠。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子“It’s great that people can jump on their bikes, get to the station and continue their journey(人们可以跳上自行车，到达车站，继续他们的旅程，这真是太棒了)”以及后面的句子“The Netherlands is a real cycling country. A lot of people come to the station by bike, and we don’t want all those bikes lying around.(荷兰是一个真正的自行车王国。很多人都是骑自行车来车站的，而我们不希望看到这些自行车到处乱停乱放)”可知，人们骑自行车到车站，然后能顺利地继续他们的旅程是很棒的。所以划线单词seamlessly意思是 “顺利地”，与 smoothly 同义。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This new underwater station took several years and more than 60 million Euros to build. The shelters will be the largest in the city, with the Open Haven Front storage able to take 7,000 bicycles.(这座新的水下车站耗时数年，造价超过 6000 万欧元。这些停车处将成为该市最大的停车处，其中 “开放避风港前沿” 停车场可容纳7000 辆自行车)”以及“In fact, another facility for an extra 4,000 bikes — cheaper at only 25 million Euros to build — also recently opened in Amsterdam. In recent years, the city invested (投资) 85 million Euros in bike parking alone!(事实上，阿姆斯特丹最近还启用了另一处可额外停放4000 辆自行车的设施，其建造成本较低，仅为2500万欧元。近年来，该市仅在自行车停放设施上就投入了8500 万欧元！)” 可知，作者列举建造新的水下车站花费数年时间和超过6000万欧元、建造另一个能停放4000 辆自行车的设施花费2500万欧元以及近年来该市仅在自行车停车方面就投资8500万欧元这些数字，是为了表明政府对这个项目的巨大投入和贡献。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Community spirit is a powerful thing.

Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand his conservative nature, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone. One day, after class, Ms Lau approached Alex with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart skipped a beat, the prospect of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure if he had the courage to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith. Under Ms Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. Ms Lau became his mentor(导师), teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone. The day of departure arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel amazed as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own.

B “I am not out of place, I am where I belong.” says British student Bruno Walker, after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a patient in Zhengzhou, China. Some locals are astonished by receiving traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from a foreigner, but Walker is confident in his path. He is among a growing number of foreigners engaging in TCM, mixing their Western backgrounds with ancient Chinese healing arts. Walker, from Britain, came to China in 2015, drawn by martial arts. While learning Shaolin kung fu in Henan, he developed a curiosity about Chinese culture and medicine. After a year of intensive Chinese study, he signed up in Henan University of Chinese Medicine. Now a graduate student specializing in acupuncture, he has treated over a thousand patients. “He is skilled in heartbeat diagnosis (诊断) and acupuncture,” says his teacher, Professor Yu Dongdong. “He can practise independently.” Under his Chinese name “Wuyan.” Bruno has become an online hit on the video-sharing platform Douyin gathering over 900,000 followers. Balancing his roles as practitioner and internet celebrity, he presents local culture in fluent Henan dialect (方言), often alongside his local girlfriend. “Your grasp of the Henan dialect is even more authentic than mine,” comments one follower. Apparently, his cultural involvement has endeared him to many. He also treated his grandmother’s health problems with acupuncture, leading to her swift recovery. With his growing fan base, Brano feels a responsibility. “Posting videos was just a pastime, but now I want to participate in more meaningful projects,” he says. He plans to create bilingual videos promoting TCM and sharing stories of ancient Chinese medical experts. “I’m devoted to spreading awareness of TCM and its far-reaching cultural significance,” he adds. Whether in China or Britain, he plans to devote himself to TCM. “I will do anything to help people through TCM. That’s my calling.” 4. What does Bruno’s words imply in paragraph 1? A.

To encourage the use of dialects in promoting TCM. C College. It means that you are finally going to leave your parents’ nest and experience a lot of personal freedom and independence. You’ll wear whatever you want. You’ll make new friends. And you are definitely ready to enjoy your time in “paradise”. However, college might be different than you have considered. When an English speaking contest was held in Beijing, about two-thirds of the 62 college students recalled their frustrations about their life in college. Many of them said they didn’t know what they were supposed to do in college. “Most of the time, I lingered around in my dorm, idling hours and hours away, watching entertainment shows or soap operas on the Internet, or chatting with roommates, ”Huang Xuan, 23, from Guangxi University, said of his first two years of college life. However, one day his mum asked him about his future plans after college. It was then that he realised his future would be ruined if he kept up such self-indulgence. Li Yan, 20, from Shenzhen University, suffered a loss of not being one of the “marked” students. She was neither the chairman of the Student Union nor the one with the highest scholarship. Sun Tingting, 21, from Suzhou University of Science and Technology, dominated all the exams with the highest scores, but she felt confused because when she was free, she could think of nothing else to do and no one else to talk to. Zhang Xin, 19, from Beijing Foreign Studies University, began to re- examine what “college” means after she noticed many graduates from elite schools ending up in a job that does not pay well. “Our future is not guaranteed by our college, but rather by how we reshape ourselves in college.” “Young people are experiencing ‘growing pains’,” said Li Fang, a mental health consultant. In the process of self-discovery, she thinks many Chinese young people suffer more than their peers in the West. Their independence comes much later. They are so used to relying on their parents that when independence suddenly comes in college, it can be difficult. “Relax,“ Li advised. “This is part of growing up.” 8. The underlined expression “idling hours and hours away” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”. A. killing time B. making use of time C. saving time D. valuing time 9. Which of the following frustrations of college students are NOT mentioned in the passage? A. They are no longer the “best” students. B They have no friends to talk to in their spare time. C. They have trouble communicating with their parents. D. They realise that good college doesn’t guarantee a good job. 10. According to Li Fang why do many Chinese young people suffer more than their peers in the West? A. They often abandon themselves to watching TV or shows on the Internet. B. They are accustomed to counting on their parents before coming to college. C. They have never left their parents’ nests. D. They are definitely ready to enjoy their time in college. 11. What is Li Fang’s advice to young people? A. Learn from their peers in the West. B. Consult a psychologist. C. Relax and consider this as part of growing up. D. Stop relying on their parents and learn to take responsibility. D Amsterdam has long had a problem with people throwing away bikes in the city’s rivers. But now, people will be able to park their bikes underwater and actually get them back thanks to a new underwater bike parking area. The city is hoping to ease bike parking by adding thousands of bike parking spots under Amsterdam’s Central Station. The Open Haven Front storage is set to open on January 26 with free bike parking for up to 24 hours, and inexpensive long-term options available as well. It also comes with easy access to the Central Station for those who need to commute (通勤) by bus or train, plus easy on-foot access to work in the busy part of the city. “It’s great that people can jump on their bikes, get to the station and continue their journey seamlessly.” Jeroen Wienen, a spokesperson for ProRail, said of the project in an interview. “The Netherlands is a real cycling country. A lot of people come to the station by bike, and we don’t want all those bikes lying around.” This new underwater station took several years and more than 60 million Euros to build. The shelters will be the largest in the city, with the Open Haven Front storage able to take 7,000 bicycles. To build the station, a lake had to be emptied to make room for the underwater storage facility, but when you live in a country where there are more bikes than people, finding a place to store them all is pretty important. In fact, another facility for an extra 4,000 bikes — cheaper at only 25 million Euros to build — also recently opened in Amsterdam. In recent years, the city invested (投资) 85 million Euros in bike parking alone! And perhaps more important than simply adding bike storage was the idea of closing the gap between cycling and train travel. Making the two run smoothly together allows more people to cycle to the train station, rather than driving to work. 12. What worries the Amsterdam government according to paragraph 1? A. Road safety. B. Heavy traffic. C. Car pollution. D. Bike parking. 13. What can be learned about the Open Haven Front storage? A. It is above a river. B. It is really affordable. C. It is the largest worldwide. D. It provides cheap bikes to ride. 14. What does the underlined word “seamlessly” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Slowly. B. Smoothly. C. Aimlessly. D. Awkwardly. 15. What does the author want to show by using the numbers in paragraph 4? A. The government’s huge contribution to the project. B. The challenge of building the station. C. The function of the station project. D. The role of bikes in Amsterdam. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Community spirit is a powerful thing.

As a shy and unnoticed student, he felt like a lone wolf, struggling against the complexities of high school life. Ms Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his otherwise dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand his conservative nature, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone. One day, after class, Ms Lau approached Alex with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart skipped a beat, the prospect of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure if he had the courage to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith. Under Ms Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions.
