Although he died almost 40 years ago, Bruce Lee is still considered the greatest and most influential kung fu performer of the 20th century. His films brought traditional Hong Kong kung fu movies to a new level of popularity, and introduced kung fu to millions of people in the West.Born in the USA in 1940, Lee returned to his native Hong Kong before his first birthday. As a teenager, the highly intelligent boy was accepted into one of Hong Kong’s most famous middle schools but he paid little attention to his studies. He was more interested in sports, especially kung fu, and hanging out with his street-gang friends. In 1959, Lee got into trouble with the police for fighting. His mother, fearing he would end up in prison, sent him to the USA. Two years later, he began studying at a university there.While still a student, Lee opened his own kung fu school, teaching a new fighting style he had developed. What made Lee’s style different was that it used power, strength and, quick-action attacks. It also combined (融合) Japanese, Korean and South American fighting styles with traditionalslow-moving Chinese kung fu.Among Lee’s students were several famous actors who, impressed by his good-looks and fighting skill, encouraged him to start acting. Over the next five years Lee achieved some success in America. But his dream of introducing his fighting style into American movies was not accepted by local film makers who thought western audiences were not interested in kung fu.Determined to prove them wrong, Lee returned to Hong Kong in 1970. There he made two films Fists of Fury (1971) and Way of the Dragon (1972), using his kung fu ideas and techniques. The movies were huge hits worldwide, making Lee an international star and symbol of kung fu. These were followed by what is widely considered the greatest kung fu movie of all time, Enter the Dragon (1973). Tragically however, Lee suddenly and mysteriously died while making his next movie Game of Death. He was only 33 years old.1. As a teenager, Lee was very .A. quietB. hard-workingC. braveD. smart2. Why was Lee sent to America?A. His parents wanted him to study at university there.B. He wanted to develop a new American fighting style.C. His family feared he was getting into too much trouble in Hong Kong.D. He was determined to become a successful and popular actor there.3. How was Lee’s style of kung fu different from the traditional C hinese style?A. It was much faster.B. It was easier to learn.C. It made people more powerful.D. It was much more dangerous.4. What was Lee’s dream according to the passage?A. To develop a new style of kung fu.B. To become a famous movie star.C. To make movies using his fighting style.D. To teach Americans kung fu.5. According to the passage, how many kung fu movies did Lee complete in his lifetime?A. TwoB. ThreeC. Four.D. Five.参考答案1—5、DCACB二、完形填空。

汉字书写危机Can you write the Chinese characters “ganga” (embarrassment) correctly? Do you know how to write characters like “tiaozhou” (broom)?If you can’t, you’re not alone. Nowadays, most people are typing into computers instead of writing on paper. We type Chinese characters largely according to their pronunciation. The result is to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.In 2013, China Youth Daily did a survey of 2,517 people, in which 98.9 percent said they had once forgotten how to write a common Chinese character.Compared to adults, teenagers are better at writing Chinese characters because they spend more time learning and practicing at school. However, the impact of digital technology cannot be ignored, according to He Yu, head of a research team for Chinese teaching at a Beijing high school.“Many students are obsessed (沉迷于)with digital devices such as electronic dictionaries and computers to help with their studies. Overuse of these tools will make students too lazy to think and write,” He said. Such worries have brought about a popular TV showtitled Chinese Spelling Hero, which focuses on Chinese character writing among teenagers. In April,the Ministry of Education called for better calligraphy (书法) education in schools. Organizations like the China Calligraphers Association are also working to train more teachers in calligraphy.Interestingly, calligraphy teachers can’t always avoid the effects of modern technology. Shen Bin is a calligraphy teacher at a primary school in Beijing. She admitted that it’s common for teachers like her to forget certain words.“The calligraphy class is also a good chance for me to remember how to write,” she said.1. There are ____ people who can’t write “ganga” correctly according to the passage.A. fewB. noC.many D. a few2. We type Chinese characters largely according to their ____.A. spellingB. pronunciationC. meaningD. shape3. In the survey _____ people said they had once forgotten how to write a common Chinese character.A. 2,517B. 98.9C.252 D. 21894. Which of the following is RIGHT?A. Compared to adults, teenagers are worse at writing Chinese characters.B. Overuse of the electric tools will make students too lazy to think and write.C. The popular TV show titled Chinese Spelling Hero focuses on Chinese character writing among adults.D. Calligraphy teachers can always avoid the effects of modern technology.5. The best title of the passage is _____.A. Chinese Spelling HeroB. Write to RememberC. Interesting ChineseD. Calligraphy Teachers【参考答案】1-5 CBDBB二、单项选择。

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The shipping department should pay me back£12, so you owe me the money,”she said to Harry Jenks, the young man who was working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely, “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How c ould he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Confused and embarrassed, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her, “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“Yes,” she answered, shyly, “The beach was lovely. And I can swim, too!”“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”“I’m four,” the child said proudly, “I’ll be four and a half.”Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said, “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”“Er, well…”woman looked at the child, “I mean… she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe£1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”1. What happened to the woman?A. She had to buy the return ticket in Jersey.B. She had to return home a day earlier.C.

In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colours. Have you ever wondered why?Locusts(蝗虫) are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than enemies. The reason is that the colours of locusts change with the colours of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to yellow or brown as crops do. Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colours similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colourful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark–coloured and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colours different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.Have you ever noticed any even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.1.According to the passage, most soil insects ______ .A. do not have bright coloursB. change their colours with the soilC. do not appear in the daytimeD. eat colourful insects like butterflies and bees2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in the passage?A. liveB. sleepC. find foodD. lay eggs3. What does the underlined word “This” refer to?A. They move quietly through forests.B. Their colours are similar to the trees.C. Their enemies can’t find them easily.D. They change the colours withthe crops.4.The ink fish ______ so that its enemies will not see it .A. changes its colourB. appears only at nightC. hides itself in the sea rocksD. makes the water around it black5.What can we learn from the passage?A.

AHave you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors(感觉器)all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems(卫星导航系统)are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven(天堂)? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical(道德的)decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made–should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car –but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popula r on our roads.1.
