本文属于人物故事类记叙文。此类文章一般是通过一个贯穿全文的线索，把不同的事物、人物串联起来。该线索可能是一个物体、一件事、一句话或作者的某种情感等。本文则是一篇以时间为主线的文章，阅读时应注意查找提示时间的关键词、句，如When my friend first suggested that ...; After the first class ...; One year later; The first few tai chi classes ...; After learning the basics of tai chi ...等。再根据这些关键词、句来梳理文章脉络，把握作者学习太极拳前后生理和心理的变化。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．I always believed tai chi was for old people.
赏析：本句中的“always”贴切地表达出作者对于太极拳长期以来的看法，为后文讲述对太极拳认知的改变埋下伏笔。
2．After the first class, however, I had to admit that I had been wrong about tai chi.It was amazing!
赏析：be wrong about意为“误解……；在……方面是错的”，此处用于表示作者认识到自己原来对太极拳的认知存在错误。“It was amazing！”中的“amazing”一词表达了作者对太极拳看法的改变。amaze (vt.使人惊奇，让人惊喜)一词，其-ing形式表示“令人惊喜的”，其-ed形式表示“感到惊奇的”。-ing形式的形容词常用于修饰事物，表示事物的性质或特征；而-ed形式的形容词常用于修饰人，表示人的心理状态。
3．One year later, I can honestly say it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally.
赏析：本句中的“honestly”表明作者的心声，强调了太极拳确实对其身心健康起到了重要作用。
4．Luckily, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind while performing the routine.
赏析：本句中使用副词luckily作评注性状语，表达了作者的心情：对教练及时发现自己的问题并加以矫正感到庆幸不已。正是教练的帮助让作者避免了半途而废，最终才能从太极拳的学习中获得益处。
5．With these requirements of tai chi in mind, I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved ...
赏析：本句中的“to my satisfaction”准确表达了作者对自己的学习进度感到满意，学习太极拳的兴趣更加浓厚。“to＋one's＋情感名词”主要表示某人由于某事的发生而唤起其内心的某种情感，常译为“令某人……的是，使某人感到……的是”。
[提能训练]　(完成句子)
①My deskmate ________________ during class.

幸运的是，这两个人在事故中都没有受伤。

使每个人都满意的是，我们班在英语演讲比赛中获得了一等奖。
(二)赏句式之高
1．When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi.
赏析：此处，when引导的时间状语从句中包含连接副词where引导的宾语从句。高级句式的恰当运用使得文章句式更丰富多变，表达效果更鲜明，更能彰显作者的语言功底。
2．I sleep better at night, and I am more energetic during the day.I feel happier and more confident.
赏析：此处在描写太极拳带给自己的积极影响时，使用了“better、 more energetic、 happier、 more confident”等一系列比较级，对身心的变化进行了对比说明。
3．Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay cool in stressful situations.
赏析：本句中使用了现在分词短语“enabling me to stay cool in stressful situations”作结果状语，表达了太极拳训练给作者带来的好处。相对于结果状语从句，现在分词的使用简化了句式结构，让表达更灵活。
4．I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me.
赏析：本句中使用了“I am sure ...”引导的复合句，给句子增加了亮点。sure一词的使用与前文作者的犹豫不决相呼应，准确地表达了作者对于太极拳态度的变化。

(三)赏衔接之顺
When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school, I hesitated. I always believed tai chi was for old people.After the first class, however, I had to admit that I had been wrong about tai chi.It was amazing! One year later, I can honestly say it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally.Just as importantly, practising tai chi has inspired me to explore the Chinese culture behind it.
赏析：本段使用了时间顺序词first、 after the first class和one year later将几个事件衔接起来，以时间为线索描述了事情的发展和情感的变化过程。常用的表示时间顺序的词语有：at first、 then、 later、 afterwards、 meanwhile、 finally、 at last、 in the end、 eventually等。段尾的“Just as importantly”起到衔接过渡的作用，自然地引出了作者的另一个观点，顺畅地导入了后文的内容。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
No history of Wushu in the West African state of Liberia would be complete without mentioning one man.He has devoted his life to Chinese martial arts.As a martial arts lover, Pewee Russian was determined to change his country's perception of Chinese martial arts, seen by many as a violent foreign culture.
Against all difficulties, Russian devoted his life to learning Wushu and by the late 1990s he was becoming an expert.At that time, fewer than five people in the entire country were taking an interest in Wushu, he says.As a boy, Russian lived with his foster parents, who attempted to distract him from martial arts.He found it “tiring and challenging” to keep his mind on Wushu.They told him that learning martial arts was a dead end, but nevertheless he persisted.
When civil war began ravaging the country at the end of 1990, it proved a setback for his Wushu studies.When the war was over, after more than 15 years, Wushu was almost extinct.However, Russian still carried the passion in his heart.
“One of the things that really drew me closer to Chinese martial arts is the discipline, the culture — it makes your mind disciplined.I think Wushu is my calling，” he says.
In 2010, the Chinese embassy in Monrovia awarded him a short-term study course at the Shaolin Temple.When he returned to his country in 2011，Russian led efforts to establish the Liberia National Wushu Association.He won an international medal on behalf of his country in 2016 at the Zhengzhou International Shaolin Wushu Festival.Since then, as a master, he has been inspiring others to share his enthusiasm.Russian is now the face of martial arts in Liberia.
However, Russian still regrets failing to attend the Beijing Olympics in 2008.He was the third best martial artist on the African continent that year but lack of finance kept him away from the Games.
To make up for this lost opportunity, he is working diligently to train the next generation of champions, ensuring that he keeps the spirit of Wushu alive in the country.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一个武术爱好者Russian，包括他对中国武术的热爱，他学习武术遇到的重重困难和阻力及其获奖的经历，以及他在自己国家创办武术联盟的经历。
1．What do we know about Pewee Russian？
A．He got a medal in the Beijing Olympics.
B．He thought Wushu can help protect his country.
C．He is now his country's representative of Wushu.
D．He was the third best martial artist in his country.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Russian is now the face of martial arts in Liberia.”可知，Russian现在是利比里亚武术的代表。
√
2．What difficulties did Pewee Russian face when learning Wushu？
A．His foster parents didn't support him.
B．Wushu almost disappeared in Africa.
C．He lacked money for his Wushu studies.
D．His country started a war against another country.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，Russian和他的养父母住在一起，他们试图分散他对武术的注意力。他们告诉他学武术是没有前途的。由此可推知，他的养父母并不支持他学习武术。
√
3．Which of the following can best describe Pewee Russian？
A．Crazy and reliable.
B．Generous and hard-working.
C．Persistent and considerate.
D．Passionate and determined.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，Russian对于武术有着强烈的热情；根据最后一段内容可知，Russian在自己国家发扬武术精神的决心非常大。
√
4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A．To spread Chinese culture.
B．To introduce a Wushu lover.
C．To encourage Sino-African relations.
D．To promote values of martial arts.
解析：写作意图题。文章讲述了Russian对武术的热爱，学习武术遇到的重重困难和阻力，他到中国学习武术及获奖的经历，还讲述了他在自己国家创办武术联盟的经历。这些内容都是为了向读者介绍一个武术爱好者的经历。

Walking is the best form of exercise.It is good for the upper respiratory (与呼吸有关的) system and the legs.It helps us control our weight and blood sugar.Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people.Personally I try to walk at least 5 miles daily.
As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen.Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina (耐力)．However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk.It is for this reason that I will strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy.I originally (最初) started walking around Xiamen because I didn't have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake.
I have also made many friends during my walks.It's not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route.These days, if I _____ my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn't come.
skip
I'll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me.I really didn't know what to say, so I just replied that I didn't mind.I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers.There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了散步是最好的运动形式，它有利于身体健康，也有助于人们的社会交往。
5．Why did the author have to take a walk at the very beginning？
A．He wanted to build up his strength.
B．He enjoyed walking.
C．He had no car.
D．He wished to make friends.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I originally started walking around Xiamen because I didn't have a car”可知，作者最初在厦门不得不走路是因为那时候没车。
√
6．What does the underlined word “skip” in the third paragraph probably mean？
A．Jump lightly.　　　　　 B．Give up.
C．Leave alone. D．Change quickly.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的后半部分讲那些商店的人或许想知道作者为什么没有去散步可知，此处指作者哪怕有一天没去散步，由此可知，画线词意为“不参加，不做”，与B项词义相近。
√
7．Why does the author tell us his walking experience in the last two paragraphs？
A．To share the unforgettable experience with us.
B．To show us the meaning of walking in social contact.
C．To tell us how to develop the habit of walking.
D．To explain to us why a usual walk takes him as long as 2 or 3 hours.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后两段内容可知，作者在散步过程中结识了许多不同的朋友，由此可推知，作者是想告诉我们散步在社交方面的意义。
√
8．What's the main idea of the text？
A．Walking does us good.
B．Walking improves health.
C．Walking helps to communicate.
D．Cycling differs from walking.
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，散步既有利于我们的身体健康，也有助于我们与别人交往，B项和C项只涉及了其中一方面的内容，D项不符合文章大意，本文并不以比较骑车与散步的不同为主。故A项符合本文主旨。
√
C
No matter how many steps you take each day, your health benefits add up. But those who take 7,000 steps a day may be adding years to their lives.
New research found that middle-aged adults who took that many steps daily were up to 70 percent less likely to die at a younger-than-expected age than those whose movement total fewer than 7,000 steps a day. The study,
which involved 2,110 middle-aged adults who wore a step-counting device and then were tracked for nearly 11 years, was published in the journal JAMA Network Open. How fast participants walked (referred to as their step intensity) did not affect _________________. Rather, those who walked more lived longer. The researchers found, however, that taking more than 10,000 steps a day — the number often cited as a daily goal for health — produced no further drop in mortality risk.
their mortality risk
Physical activity like walking is considered one of the most important things people can do to improve their well-being, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A former CDC director described physical activity as the closest thing we have to a wonder drug.Among its benefits, walking can reduce risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and depression and it can help control weight and improve sleep.It is considered good for your bones,
muscles, heart and brain. Although walking is considered safe for most people, those who have any concerns should check with their doctor before launching any new physical activity routine. For adults generally, national guidelines focus on time spent on an activity rather than number of steps, recommending 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, such as walking.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了步行的好处。
9．In which column of a newspaper can we find this text？
A．Style.　　　　　　 B．Opinion.
C．Sports. D．Health and Science.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“No matter how ...their lives.”并结合全文可知，本文主要探讨与健康有关的话题。故本文可能选自报纸的“健康与科学”栏目。
√
10．What does the underlined part “their mortality risk” in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．What health benefits they got.
B．Whether physical activities worked for them.
C．How long they could live.
D．Their risk of dying.
解析：根据画线词后的“Rather, those who walked more lived longer.”可知，走得快并不能影响他们的“mortality”风险，而走得多的人才能活得更久，所以“their mortality risk”与“lived longer”的意思相对，指的是他们的死亡风险。
√
11．What can we learn from the text？
A．The research spanned through the whole life of 2,110 middle-aged adults.
B．Walking speed matters as much as how many steps one has taken.
C．Walking more than 10,000 steps a day brings similar health benefits as 7,000.
D．National guidelines offer the adults the recommendation on number of steps.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，每天步行超过1万步与每天步行7 000步所带来的益处相似。
√
12．Which of the following is the best title for this text？
A．How to Extend Your Lifespan
B．7,000 Steps Lengthen Your Life
C．Benefits of Physical Activities
D．Walking and Its Restrictions
解析：标题归纳题。根据各段段首句可知，本文主要介绍了步行的好处，以及每天走7 000步有助于延年益寿。故B项适合作文章标题。

No history of Wushu in the West African state of Liberia would be complete without mentioning one man.He has devoted his life to Chinese martial arts.As a martial arts lover, Pewee Russian was determined to change his country's perception of Chinese martial arts, seen by many as a violent foreign culture.
Against all difficulties, Russian devoted his life to learning Wushu and by the late 1990s he was becoming an expert.At that time, fewer than five people in the entire country were taking an interest in Wushu, he says.As a boy, Russian lived with his foster parents, who attempted to distract him from martial arts.He found it “tiring and challenging” to keep his mind on Wushu.They told him that learning martial arts was a dead end, but nevertheless he persisted.
When civil war began ravaging the country at the end of 1990, it proved a setback for his Wushu studies.When the war was over, after more than 15 years, Wushu was almost extinct.However, Russian still carried the passion in his heart.
“One of the things that really drew me closer to Chinese martial arts is the discipline, the culture — it makes your mind disciplined.I think Wushu is my calling，” he says.
In 2010, the Chinese embassy in Monrovia awarded him a short-term study course at the Shaolin Temple.When he returned to his country in 2011，Russian led efforts to establish the Liberia National Wushu Association.He won an international medal on behalf of his country in 2016 at the Zhengzhou International Shaolin Wushu Festival.Since then, as a master, he has been inspiring others to share his enthusiasm.Russian is now the face of martial arts in Liberia.
However, Russian still regrets failing to attend the Beijing Olympics in 2008.He was the third best martial artist on the African continent that year but lack of finance kept him away from the Games.
To make up for this lost opportunity, he is working diligently to train the next generation of champions, ensuring that he keeps the spirit of Wushu alive in the country.

Walking is the best form of exercise.It is good for the upper respiratory (与呼吸有关的) system and the legs.It helps us control our weight and blood sugar.Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people.Personally I try to walk at least 5 miles daily.
As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen.Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina (耐力)．However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk.It is for this reason that I will strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy.I originally (最初) started walking around Xiamen because I didn't have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake.
I have also made many friends during my walks.It's not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route.These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn't come.
I'll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me.I really didn't know what to say, so I just replied that I didn't mind.I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers.There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.

No matter how many steps you take each day, your health benefits add up. But those who take 7,000 steps a day may be adding years to their lives.
New research found that middle-aged adults who took that many steps daily were up to 70 percent less likely to die at a younger-than-expected age than those whose movement total fewer than 7,000 steps a day.The study, which involved 2,110 middle-aged adults who wore a step-counting device and then were tracked for nearly 11 years, was published in the journal JAMA Network Open. How fast participants walked (referred to as their step intensity) did not affect their_mortality_risk. Rather, those who walked more lived longer. The researchers found, however, that taking more than 10,000 steps a day — the number often cited as a daily goal for health — produced no further drop in mortality risk.
Physical activity like walking is considered one of the most important things people can do to improve their well-being, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A former CDC director described physical activity as the closest thing we have to a wonder drug.Among its benefits, walking can reduce risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and depression and it can help control weight and improve sleep.It is considered good for your bones, muscles, heart and brain.Although walking is considered safe for most people, those who have any concerns should check with their doctor before launching any new physical activity routine.For adults generally, national guidelines focus on time spent on an activity rather than number of steps, recommending 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, such as walking.

A．The research spanned through the whole life of 2,110 middle-aged adults.
B．Walking speed matters as much as how many steps one has taken.
C．Walking more than 10,000 steps a day brings similar health benefits as 7,000.
D．National guidelines offer the adults the recommendation on number of steps.
12．Which of the following is the best title for this text
A．How to Extend Your Lifespan

1．选C　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Russian is now the face of martial arts in Liberia.”可知，Russian现在是利比里亚武术的代表。
2．选A　推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，Russian和他的养父母住在一起，他们试图分散他对武术的注意力。他们告诉他学武术是没有前途的。由此可推知，他的养父母并不支持他学习武术。
3．选D　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，Russian对于武术有着强烈的热情；根据最后一段内容可知，Russian在自己国家发扬武术精神的决心非常大。
4．选B　写作意图题。文章讲述了Russian对武术的热爱，学习武术遇到的重重困难和阻力，他到中国学习武术及获奖的经历，还讲述了他在自己国家创办武术联盟的经历。这些内容都是为了向读者介绍一个武术爱好者的经历。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了散步是最好的运动形式，它有利于身体健康，也有助于人们的社会交往。
5．选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I originally started walking around Xiamen because I didn't have a car”可知，作者最初在厦门不得不走路是因为那时候没车。
6．选B　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的后半部分讲那些商店的人或许想知道作者为什么没有去散步可知，此处指作者哪怕有一天没去散步，由此可知，画线词意为“不参加，不做”，与B项词义相近。
7．选B　推理判断题。根据文章最后两段内容可知，作者在散步过程中结识了许多不同的朋友，由此可推知，作者是想告诉我们散步在社交方面的意义。
8．选A　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，散步既有利于我们的身体健康，也有助于我们与别人交往，B项和C项只涉及了其中一方面的内容，D项不符合文章大意，本文并不以比较骑车与散步的不同为主。故A项符合本文主旨。

10．选D　根据画线词后的“Rather, those who walked more lived longer.”可知，走得快并不能影响他们的“mortality”风险，而走得多的人才能活得更久，所以“their mortality risk”与“lived longer”的意思相对，指的是他们的死亡风险。
11．选C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，每天步行超过1万步与每天步行7 000步所带来的益处相似。
12．选B　标题归纳题。根据各段段首句可知，本文主要介绍了步行的好处，以及每天走7 000步有助于延年益寿。故B项适合作文章标题。
