A

When talking about fishing in China, Jiang Tai Gong is very likely to be the first name that would come to people’s mind.

The story happened in the late years of the Shang dynasty. Jiang Tai Gong once served the king of Shang dynasty, and began to hate him for tyranny from the bottom of heart. Jiang Tai Gong was a genius in military tactics and government management. He lived near the Weihe River about 3,000 years ago. The area was the feudal estate of Count Ji Chang. Jiang Tai Gong knew Ji Chang was very ambitious, so he hoped to get Ji’s attention.

He often went fishing at the Weihe River, but he would fish in an unusual way. He hung a straight fishhook, without bait, three feet above the water. Lookers-on were curious about it, and Jiang Tai Gong explained, “I would like to take honestly rather than to ask for with the knees down. I fish not for the fish but for the nobility (高贵).” Later words traveled to Count Ji. He sent a soldier to invite him. Jiang Tai Gong ignored the solider, going on with fishing, and was talking to himself, “Fishing, fishing, no fish has been hooked. A shrimp is up to mischief (恶作剧).” The soldier reported this back to Ji Chang, who became more interested in this man. Then, Count Ji sent an official to invite him. It didn’t work. Finally Ji Chang realized Jiang may be a genius, so he went to invite Jiang Tai Gong himself. Jiang saw his sincerity and honesty and finally decided to work for him. In the end, Jiang Tai Gong helped Count Ji and his offspring build a great power and build  Zhou dynasty — a great dynasty.

Today, people use the old idiom There are always fish willing to be caught by angler Jiang Taigong to describe someone who willingly falls in a trap or does something no matter what the result is. This idiom has been passed on from generation to generation. To some degree, it could be regarded as a part of Chinese philosophy.

26．Why did Jiang Tai Gong give up serving the king of Shang Dynasty?

A．Because Jiang was too old to serve the king. B．Because the king treated his people rudely.

C．Because Jiang was an ambitious person. D．Because the king didn’t need Jiang any more.

27．How did Jiang Tai Gong fish?

A．He fished with a straight hook in the water. B．He fished without bait above the water.

C．He fished with bait to plead for fish. D．He fished with a usual fishhook without bait.

28．What docs the underlined part “a shrimp” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．a kind of animal B．a small fish C．the soldier D．the official

29．Which of the followings can we use the idiom to describe?

A．Linda, who still trusts people that tell lies B．Annie, who is always willing to help others

C．Leo, who enjoys setting taps for others D．Tommy, who does things after thinking twice

B

One fine day the Warthogs（疣猪）were walking among some trees.

“Remember,” said Mr. Warthog, “this is a dangerous place. Always stick to the paths and never go off exploring things that don’t concern you.”

Suddenly, a terrible noise came into their ears.

“Baby Warthog, I’ve warned you before,” said Mrs. Warthog. “Say pardon when you burp!”

“That wasn’t me,” said Baby Warthog. “It was the lion up there!”

Sure enough, a lion was hanging upside down from the tree above them. He was caught in a trap（陷阱）.

“Please,” said Lion, “let me down. I’ve been up here for three days and I think I’m hungry and thirsty to death.” “How silly do you think we are?” said Mr. Warthog. “If we let you down, you will eat us!” “I promise I won’t!” pleaded Lion. “I am so weak for lack of food, so I am as harmless as a small cat.” So the Warthogs undid the trap and set the Lion free.

“Thank you so much,” said Lion. “Dear Mr. Warthog, sweet Mrs. Warthog and lovely, delicious, good-enough-to-eat Baby Warthog, I am so grateful, I could just gobble you up!”

Mrs. Warthog didn’t like the sound of that. She didn’t like the way Lion was looking at Baby Warthog and licking his lips either. “Like this?” said Mrs. Warthog, and she pulled hard so that the rope went tight and Lion was once again hanging upside down from the tree.

“What did you do that for?” said Lion.

“My family and I set you free,” said Mrs. Warthog, “and you were going to thank us by eating Baby Warthog here! What an ungrateful guy you are!” The Warthogs turned their backs and walked away with their noses in the air. Lion hung upside down like that for another three days until Grass Mouse came by.

“Excuse me,” said Lion, who was now so weak for lack of food that his voice was just a whisper. “Would you please be kind enough to help me down? I promise I won’t hurt you.”

Grass Mouse’s mother had told him to stay away from lions, but she had also said that he should always help other animals in trouble. Grass Mouse climbed up the tree and with his sharp front teeth he gnawed through the rope that was holding Lion.

“Thank you so much,” said the Lion when he was back on solid ground.

Lion wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice, so instead of thinking about eating Grass Mouse, he promised to help him whenever he is in trouble.

30．The Warthogs decided to help Lion at first because ________.

A．They liked Lion B．They were afraid of Lion

C．Lion promised not to hurt them D．Lion looked weak

31．Why did Mrs. Warthog trap lion again?

32．Which of the following is wrong according to the story?

A．The Lion was trapped twice.

B．Mr. Warthog is clever and brave and loves her baby.

C．The lion stayed upside down from the tree for at least a week.

D．The Lion decided not to eat Grass Mouse.

33．What is the moral（寓意）of the story?

A．Be grateful to those who help us. B．Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

C．Still water runs deep. D．All roads lead to Rome.

C

What goes into mind when you think of kung fu, also known as wushu? Maybe the image of Shaolin monks fighting with a serious look in their eyes, or popular children’s movies like Kung Fu Panda. But are they really kung fu?

Recently, Laurence J. Brahm, a documentary filmmaker from the United States, explored this question in Searching for Kung Fu. In the movie, Brahm began a journey of a kung fu pilgrimage（朝圣）, traveling to cities in China and the US to search for the origin（起源） and value of kung fu.

Brahm himself is a kung fu lover who has been practicing for more than 40 years. For him, practicing this craft was more than fun.

Around 10 years ago, Brahm was unable to use one of his legs for about two years. But by practicing martial arts （武术） “very, very slowly”, he was able to recover step by step. Now, kung fu has become a daily activity for him.

“Martial arts can help us connect our body, connect our blood flow, and also help connect us into our environment to increase our awareness.” Brahm said.

Still others find other meanings in the practice.

“Chinese kung fu is full of Chinese philosophies（哲学）and core（核心）values,” Hong Kong actor Bruce Leung told Xinhua.

⑧Non-fight is one of these values, which is shown both in the name and the practice. Wu, is made up of two characters—age, meaning “dagger-ax”, and zhi, meaning “to stop”. So, the meaning of kung fu in Chinese is the art of stopping fighting. Kung fu artists always end up with baoquan. This lets each person know that there is nothing hidden and shows trust.

Brahm’s sees Kung fu as “a mirror of Chinese culture”.

The traditional values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people. Why does China want to be in harmony with other nations? “Its part of the psychology（心理） of the Chinese people. It’s also national psychology.” Brahm told Xinhua.

Bralm also believes that today’s world needs to restart equal exchanges between countries, and that culture and sports, such as kung fu, can serve as a great channel and bridge.

34．What does Laurence J. Brahm explore in Searching for kung Fu?

A．Styles of kung fu. B．People’s impressions of kung fu.

C．Functions of kung fu. D．The history and meaning of kung fu.

35．Which of the following would Brahm agree with about kung fu except ________?

A．It’s a way to kill time. B．It’s a way to make money.

C．It’s a way to stay healthy. D．It’s a way to keep awake.

36．The purpose of Paragraph ⑧ is to explain ________.

A．the core value of Chinese kung fu B．the history of Chinese kung fu

C．the structure of the Chinese word “wu” D．the beginning movement in kung fu

37．Which of the following proves kung fu is “a mirror of Chinese culture”?

A．It influences China’s policy about sports.

B．It can spread Chinese culture worldwide.

C．It shows the importance of Chinese culture.

D．Its values are seen in China’s attitude（态度）to other countries.

Race walking shares many advantages with running, research shows, while most likely causing fewer injuries. ___41___

Race walkers are conditioned(有条件的) athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk. The sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing. ___42___ It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity.

___43___ According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour. It is about twice as many as walking wold burn, although fewer than running.

___44___ According to a research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step. But race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.

As a result, some of the injuries related to running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. ___45___ Therefore people with a history of such injuries might want to be careful when doing the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first ask a coach or experienced racer to learn proper skills. It takes some practice.

A．Meanwhile, one foot remains in contact with the ground at all times.

B．Like running, race walking requires physical strength.

C．But the sport’s strange form places much stress on the ankles and hips.

D．It does, however, have its own problems.

E．However, race walking doesn’t pound the body as much as running does.
