For one overseas student who has been in China for over a decade, learning the moves and culture associated with Chinese martial arts(武术) has been his most valuable experience.
So uley mane Hima Oumarou, a Nigerien student at Hebei University in Baoding, Hebei province, first came to the university in 2012 as an undergraduate, not only for an education, but also to achieve his dream of learning the Chinese martial art of kung fu. He became a fan of kung fu after watching movies starring famous martial artists such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
During his studies in Baoding, Oumarou joined the university’s martial arts association and studied under Duan Shuxing, one of the association’s instructors. Following Duan’s instructions, Oumarou began to practice basic moves in 2015, including Eight Extremities Fist, or bajiquan, as well as the associated art of tai chi.
“Learning martial arts has not been easy because I was not young when I started,” the 36-yea--old said, adding that he was forced to overcome difficulties and make more of an effort to learn more advanced moves.
As far as his instructor is concerned, Oumarou is hardworking and energetic. “He always trains hard and has made great progress in the past seven years,” Duan said.
So far Oumarou has mastered multiple boxing techniques and knows how to use many traditional Chinese weapons.
Apart from the skills he’s learned, martial arts have brought him more. He has made many Chinese friends through learning kung fu and has been to many places around China to participate in competitions.
Oumarou is now a doctoral student and is expected to graduate this year. In the future, he plans to open a kung fu center in Niger after he graduates, and to become an instructor and teach youngsters martial arts. He thinks that will also help him better understand the spirit of martial arts, and also become a cultural communicator between China and Niger.
4. What can we learn about Oumarou from paragraph 1 and paragraph 2
A. He went abroad to realize his dream over ten years ago.
B. He came to China only to learn Chinese martial arts.
C. He had a terrible experience travelling around China.
D. He had a passion for kung fu after becoming an actor.
5. Why is learning martial arts challenging to Oumarou
A. He didn’t set out to practice martial arts at an early age.
B. He took a negative attitude toward learning martial arts.
C. He encountered an extremely impatient instructor.

A year after Walt Disney made history with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, its artists were struggling to find the right design for Bambi, the tale of a young deer. The film’s production team realized they needed a style that highlighted almost all of the leaves, flowers and mushrooms in their first feature-length animated(动画的)film.
Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display as a new exhibit at New York City’s Museum. In 1938, the Walt Disney Studio hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. After reading the story of Bambi, he saw an opportunity to break out of his humdrum job. He said to himself “This is all outdoor scenery. And I’m a landscape painter. This will be great!”
Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolor and pastels(蜡笔)to make sketches that bring the feeling of forest scenes with simple strokes of color and special attention to light and shadow. Wong’s sketches attracted Disney and became the guide for Bambi’s background artists, who were later trained to imitate his style. “His expression was a great leap forward for the medium,” writes John Lasseter, the chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. “Where other films were literal, Bambi was expressive and emotional.” In 2001,Wong was named “Disney Legend”, and he received the recognition as the true lead artist.
He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement, including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California. “People admire his works because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a really small part of his life,” says his youngest daughter. “He considers himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time.”
8. Why did Walt Disney’s artists notice Tyrus Wong
A. He was good at drawing cartoon characters.
B. He won a prize at a museum in New York.
C. His style was suitable for the animated film Bambi.
D. His work could be used to advertise Walt Disney’s films
9. What does John Lasseter think of Tyrus Wong’s paintings
A. They were literal and detailed.
B. They conveyed thoughts effectively.
C. They showed the legend of Walt Disney.
D. They displayed the progress of the medium.
10. What can we learn about Tyrus Wong from the last paragraph
A. He was devoted to art during his lifetime.
B. He had been busy his whole life.
C. He gave up art after retirement.
D. He liked to purchase toys and kites.
11. How does the author introduce Tyrus Wong
A. By analyzing cause and effect.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following time order.
D. By listing examples.
D
Research shows students learn better when they’re well nourished. Healthy eating has been linked to higher grades, better memory, faster information processing and improved health leading to better school attendance, according to registered dietitian Elisa Zied, author of Feed Your Family Right. On the contrary, unhealthy eating habits can negatively affect learning. Researchers have studied many areas related to eating and learning.
Skipping breakfast can have a negative impact on learning. A higher percentage of breakfast eaters passed a biology exam in one study of college students. It’s also important to eat a high-quality breakfast. In a study of students between the ages of twelve and thirteen, the average mark increased as breakfast quality improved.
Even with breakfast, the brain can run out of fuel before lunch. In one study of students between the ages of seven and nine, having a mid-morning snack improved memory. The children who ate a smaller breakfast and lunch but consumed a mid-morning snack experienced a smaller decline in immediate and delayed memory. Attention wasn’t affected, however. Zied recommends yogurt with blueberries; this fruit has been proven to be linked to better memory in studies. A hard-boiled egg is also a good snack choice.
Kids who eat healthily are more likely to attend school. Without proper nutrition and adequate calories, students often don’t have enough energy to power the brain, resulting in tiredness and learning problems. In fact, alertness (机敏) improved significantly in students eating breakfast in one study of high school students published in the journal Pediatrics.
A study of public school students published in the Journal of School Health linked high intake of sweetened drinks, such as sugary sodas, to lower scores in math tests. A diet high in junk food and sugary sodas is also linked to childhood obesity, which could result in lower cognitive (认知的) functioning, according to the Yale University research. On the other hand, students with healthy eating habits are less likely to be overweight and more likely to learn well.
12. What is an effective way for students to improve their memory
A. Eating a big lunch on a regular basis. B. Staying away from junk food in daily life.
C. Eating something healthy at about 10: 00 am. D. Adding yogurt with strawberries to their daily diet.
13. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A. Students will have better attendance at school after eating healthily.
B. Students will have a good performance as long as they are well fed.
C. A high-quality breakfast will make a difference to students’ learning.
D. Every student has a strong awareness of eating breakfast.
14. What would happen to students who eat much junk food
A. They would become less confident at school. B. They would grow too overweight to work out.
C. They would become unwilling to attend school. D. They would fall behind other students at school.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The advantages of healthy eating habits. B. The impacts of eating habits on students’ learning.
C. Some suggestions on how to learn better. D. The link between diets and health.

An impossible peace
Once upon a time, on a piece of land there lived giants and dragons, who had been enemies for years on end. However, after years of bloody fights, they had learned a lot. They were no longer so foolish as to wage wars with terrible battles in which thousands died. Now, every year they held bowling matches instead. A giant competed against a dragon. Whoever lost would become the winner’s slave. If a dragon won, he could use the giant’s muscles for all that heavy lifting. If a giant won, he would have free flights and fire for the whole year.
That was how they prevented their deaths and yet with the match going round and round, they hated each other more and more. Every year the winners were so cruel to the losers, in revenge (报复) for the time they had lost. The losers would be at the mercy of the winners, giants tired from lifting loads while dragons worn out from constant flying and breathing fire. There came a time when what mattered most was not winning the bowling match, but not losing.
Yonk the Giant was the best bowler, and the most afraid. He had never lost. Many dragons had been his slaves and they were dying to see him lose so they could get their revenge. This was why Yonk was terrified of losing. Especially since last year’s match, when he missed his first ever strike, he had decided that something had to change.
The following year he won again. When he arrived home, his slave dragon feared the worst but Yonk did nothing bad to him, for he had a different idea in mind.
“This year you will not be my slave. We will go bowling and I will teach you all of my techniques and secrets. But you must promise me one thing: when you win your match next year, you will not be cruel to your giant. Do the same as I am doing with you.”
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。
The dragon gladly accepted.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Much later Yonk lost his first bowling match but he was no longer afraid of losing.

A year after Walt Disney made history with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, its artists were struggling to find the right design for Bambi, the tale of a young deer. The film’s production team realized they needed a style that highlighted almost all of the leaves, flowers and mushrooms in their first feature-length animated(动画)film.
Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display as a new exhibit at New York City’s Museum. In 1938, the Walt Disney Studio hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. After reading the story of Bambi, he saw an opportunity to break out of his humdrum job. He said to himself “This is all outdoor scenery. And I’m a landscape painter. This will be great!”
Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolor and pastels(蜡笔)to make sketches that bring the feeling of forest scenes with simple strokes of color and special attention to light and shadow. Wong’s sketches attracted Disney and became the guide for Bambi’s background artists, who were later trained to imitate his style. “His expression was a great leap forward for the medium,” writes John Lasseter, the chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. “Where other films were literal, Bambi was expressive and emotional.” In 2001,Wong was named “Disney Legend”, and he received the recognition as the true lead artist.
He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement, including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California. “People admire his works because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a really small part of his life,” says his youngest daughter. “He considers himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time.”
8. Why did Walt Disney’s artists notice Tyrus Wong
A. He was good at drawing cartoon characters.
B. He won a prize at a museum in New York.
C. His style was suitable for the animated film Bambi.
D. His work could be used to advertise Walt Disney’s films
9. What does John Lasseter think of Tyrus Wong’s paintings
A. They were literal and detailed.
B. They conveyed thoughts effectively.
C. They showed the legend of Walt Disney.
D. They displayed the progress of the medium.
10. What can we learn about Tyrus Wong from the last paragraph
A. He was devoted to art during his lifetime.
B. He had been busy his whole life.
C. He gave up art after retirement.
D. He liked to purchase toys and kites.
11. How does the author introduce Tyrus Wong

Research shows students learn better when they’re well nourished. Healthy eating has been linked to higher grades, better memory, faster information processing and improved health leading to better school attendance, according to registered dietitian Elisa Zied, author of Feed Your Family Right. On the contrary, unhealthy eating habits can negatively affect learning. Researchers have studied many areas related to eating and learning.
Skipping breakfast can have a negative impact on learning. A higher percentage of breakfast eaters passed a biology exam in one study of college students. It’s also important to eat a high-quality breakfast. In a study of students between the ages of twelve and thirteen, the average mark increased as breakfast quality improved.
Even with breakfast, the brain can run out of fuel before lunch. In one study of students between the ages of seven and nine, having a mid-morning snack improved memory. The children who ate a smaller breakfast and lunch but consumed a mid-morning snack experienced a smaller decline in immediate and delayed memory. Attention wasn’t affected, however. Zied recommends yogurt with blueberries; this fruit has been proven to be linked to better memory in studies. A hard-boiled egg is also a good snack choice.
Kids who eat healthily are more likely to attend school. Without proper nutrition and adequate calories, students often don’t have enough energy to power the brain, resulting in tiredness and learning problems. In fact, alertness (机敏) improved significantly in students eating breakfast in one study of high school students published in the journal Pediatrics.
A study of public school students published in the Journal of School Health linked high intake of sweetened drinks, such as sugary sodas, to lower scores in math tests. A diet high in junk food and sugary sodas is also linked to childhood obesity, which could result in lower cognitive (认知的) functioning, according to the Yale University research. On the other hand, students with healthy eating habits are less likely to be overweight and more likely to learn well.
12. What is an effective way for students to improve their memory
A. Eating a big lunch on a regular basis. B. Staying away from junk food in daily life.
C. Eating something healthy at about 10: 00 am. D. Adding yogurt with strawberries to their daily diet.
13. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A. Students will have better attendance at school after eating healthily.
B. Students will have a good performance as long as they are well fed.
C. A high-quality breakfast will make a difference to students’ learning.
D. Every student has a strong awareness of eating breakfast.
14. What would happen to students who eat much junk food
A. They would become less confident at school. B. They would grow too overweight to work out.
C. They would become unwilling to attend school. D. They would fall behind other students at school.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The advantages of healthy eating habits. B. The impacts of eating habits on students’ learning.
C. Some suggestions on how to learn better. D. The link between diets and health.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍独处给人们带来的种种益处和几个简单的独处策略。
【16题详解】
设空句上文指出“孤独”不同于“独处”，下文“The latter offers a chance to direct attention to self-care and self-discovery without outside influences or expectations from others.(后者提供了一个机会，把注意力集中在自我照顾和自我发现上，而不受外界的影响或他人的期望。)”说明了独处的特点，关键词“The latter”指代上文中“独处”。E项“The former is marked by negative feelings (前者的特点是消极情绪)”说明了孤独的特点，关键词“The former”指代上文中“孤独”，与下文构成对比关系。故选E项。
【17题详解】
下文“just as people learn social skills to guide themselves in the world of relationships successfully(就像人们学习社交技巧来成功地在人际关系中引导自己一样)”中提出人们需要“学习社交技巧”来“在人际关系中引导自己”，句中连词as意为“就像；正如”，表达了一种类比关系，由此推知，上文中也会提到一种相似的关系。F项“There are skills associated with its capacity(有一些技巧与它的能力相关)”是指“独处”也需要一些“技巧”来引导，表达了相似的意思，句中“skills”与下文“social skills”相照应。故选F项。
【18题详解】
设空句是段首小标题。根据段中“In solitude, buried feelings, memories, or problems can surface. Rather than avoid being discouraged by them, you can learn to engage in the regulation with curiosity, using the private time to explore your feelings without judgment.

【19题详解】
上文“People who enjoy solitude are willing to self-reflect.(喜欢独处的人愿意自我反省。)”提出独处的人愿意自我反省，G项“They spend time considering behavior patterns(他们花时间考虑行为模式)”与下文“reflecting on their values, or considering the bigger picture.(……反思他们的价值观，或者考虑更大的图景。)”构成完整句子，说明喜欢独处的人如何进行反省，句中“considering...”与下文中“reflecting on...”和“considering...”构成并列关系。故选G项。
【20题详解】
下文“if you begin to feel lonely or your thoughts turn to self-harm. (如果你开始感到孤独，或者你的想法变成了自我伤害。)”假设了一种极端情况，D项“Break your solitude and turn for support (打破你的孤独，寻求支持)”给出应对策略：当你感到孤独，深感折磨时，应及时走出独处并寻求帮助，照应段首小标题中“exit solitude”。故选D项。

【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：茶传播到世界各地后，作为人类共同的文化瑰宝，得到了全球最高级别的认可。动词spread和主语之间是被动关系，在介词After后，应用其动名词的被动式，作宾语。故填being spread。
【38题详解】

【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：与朋友和家人围坐在一起，有一个炉子，一些茶，水果和茶点在桌子上，人们可以聊天，看周围的风景，并沉浸在传统的中国文化中，一起煮茶。此处为非谓语，动词sit和主语之间是主动关系，故用其现在分词作状语，表伴随。句首字母大写，故填Sitting。
【45题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：最吸引我的是煮茶时温暖的气氛。分析可知，此处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指代事物，应用连接代词what引导从句，意为“……的事”。句首字母大写，故填What。

47. 阅读下面短文，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。
An impossible peace
Once upon a time, on a piece of land there lived giants and dragons, who had been enemies for years on end. However, after years of bloody fights, they had learned a lot. They were no longer so foolish as to wage wars with terrible battles in which thousands died. Now, every year they held bowling matches instead. A giant competed against a dragon. Whoever lost would become the winner’s slave. If a dragon won, he could use the giant’s muscles for all that heavy lifting. If a giant won, he would have free flights and fire for the whole year.
That was how they prevented their deaths and yet with the match going round and round, they hated each other more and more. Every year the winners were so cruel to the losers, in revenge (报复) for the time they had lost. The losers would be at the mercy of the winners, giants tired from lifting loads while dragons worn out from constant flying and breathing fire. There came a time when what mattered most was not winning the bowling match, but not losing.
Yonk the Giant was the best bowler, and the most afraid. He had never lost. Many dragons had been his slaves and they were dying to see him lose so they could get their revenge. This was why Yonk was terrified of losing. Especially since last year’s match, when he missed his first ever strike, he had decided that something had to change.
The following year he won again. When he arrived home, his slave dragon feared the worst but Yonk did nothing bad to him, for he had a different idea in mind.
“This year you will not be my slave. We will go bowling and I will teach you all of my techniques and secrets. But you must promise me one thing: when you win your match next year, you will not be cruel to your giant. Do the same as I am doing with you.”
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。
The dragon gladly accepted.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Much later Yonk lost his first bowling match but he was no longer afraid of losing.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The dragon gladly accepted. Yonk kept his promise and he spent the entire year without flying or warming himself with the dragon’s fire breathing. The dragon also kept his promise and both did exactly the same every year afterwards. Yonk’s idea became so popular that within just a few years, many giants and dragons were spending their days bowling together. They forgot about their battles and cruelty and treated each other as friends rather than enemies.
Much later Yonk lost his first bowling match but he was no longer afraid of losing. Because he knew in his heart that there would be no more revenge since he had been friends with his “dragon slaves”. By putting a stop to the enslavement of dragons, he had ended their hatred and sowed the seeds of almost impossible peace between giants and dragons. Building true peace requires those who feel they have the right to attack to take steps towards forgiveness and understanding.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了巨人和龙之间化敌为友的故事：很久很久以前，巨人和龙每年都举行保龄球比赛，谁输了，谁就成为胜利者的奴隶，年复一年，赢家愈发残酷，输家不堪重负，巨人扬克害怕输了被奴役，所以他想终止仇恨，播下和平的种子，于是和他的奴隶龙约法三章：龙不必当奴隶，教龙打保龄球，条件是来年赢了比赛要和善对待输家，这种想法在几年内变得流行，扬克不再害怕输掉比赛，因为他和他的龙奴隶已经成为朋友。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“龙欣然接受了”可知，第一段可描写扬克与他的龙奴之间约法三章以终止仇恨建立和平关系，这个想法慢慢在其他的巨人和龙之间流行起来，开始有友谊的迹象。
②由第二段首句内容“很久以后，扬克输掉了他的第一场保龄球比赛，但他不再害怕输了。”可知，第二段可描写扬克确信他和他的“龙奴隶”已经化敌为友，结束了他们的仇恨，播下了几乎不可能实现的和平的种子。
2.续写线索：彼此遵守承诺——想法流行起来——人龙化敌为友——Yonk不惧怕输了比赛——确信和平已建立——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①流行起来：become popular / gain popularity
②使……结束：end sth / bring sth to an end
③察觉到，意识到：feel / perceive
