21、 What comes to mind when you think of kung fu? If your mind is filled with images of Shaolin monks, Bruce Lee, or Kung Fu Panda, you wouldn't be wrong. But for Laurence J. Brahm, an American documentary filmmaker, the first thing that springs to mind is the concept of non-violence.
As Brahm explained, if you break down the character "wu" it consists of two characters: one is "ge" meaning dagger-axe; the other is"zhi" meaning to stop. So, the meaning of martial arts in Chinese is not the art of fighting, a concept that many people take for granted. On the contrary, he said, kung fu is the art of stopping fighting.
Brahm's relationship with kung fu dates back to the 1970s when he was a karate student in Hawaii. "My master always told me that if you want to fully understand karate, you have to go to Shaolin in China. That's where the origin is, "Brahm said. In 1981,he managed to visit the Shaolin Temple, situated at the foot of the Songshan Mountain in Central China, for the very first time. He left the mountain, a little disappointed at not finding the martial-arts spirit he expected. But his passion for kung fu and his desire to find out more were stronger than ever before.
Over the years he trained in many different styles, such as tai chi, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do to understand all of them. "Martial arts can help us connect our body, connect our neural system, connect our blood flow, and also help connect us into our environment to increase our awareness. Martial arts is moving meditation (冥想)," Brahm said, his eyes bright and intense.
But to him, kung fu's charm and values are far more than that. He combined the knowledge from many masters and scholars with his own experience as a practitioner and tutor to extract 12 key principles and values of the martial arts: perseverance, roots, loyalty, respect, harmony, change, balance, centering, emptiness, flow, pragmatism, non-violence.
"Kung fu, in my eves, is a mirror of Chinese culture.” Brahm said “The traditional values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people.”
【1】What does Paragraph 2 really want to tell us?
A.The character “ge” means “to stop”.
B.Kung fu is the “art of non-violence”.
C.The character “wu” consists of two characters.
D.Martial arts in Chinese means the “art of fighting”.
【2】How did Brahm manage to get the idea of kung fu’s values?
A.He visited the Shaolin Temple in 1981.
B.He trained in many different styles over the years.
C.His master told him about it when he was in Hawaii.
D.He joined his knowledge and his experience together.
【3】According to the passage, which word can best describe Brahm?
A.Determined.
B.Energetic.
C.Confident.
D.Friendly.
22、 In the search for clean, renewable energy to meet our ever-increasing needs, wind power might seem to be the perfect option. Since ancient times, wind power has been used to move ships, pump water and grind grain. Around the end of the 19th century, the invention of the wind turbine(涡轮机)made it possible to use wind to generate electricity. Now large-scale installations of wind turbines, called wind farms, create and develop clean electricity for people around the world. Yet despite the advantages that wind energy offers, challenges to using this renewable resource can be found.
The first advantage of wind power is that it truly is a renewable resource. No matter how much wind we use to generate electricity, we will never deplete the supply. This is its greatest advantage over non-renewable resources like coal or oil. However, wind does not provide a constant supply of energy. Even the windiest places on Earth have periods of calm. Without a strong wind, wind turbines are not able to produce electricity. That means that wind power isn’t feasible as a single source of electricity. It can only work with other sources that supply power.
Wind power is a clean source of energy, meaning it produces electricity without environmentally harmful missions. This is in contrast to conventional power plants that burn fuel to generate power, thereby producing pollution. But that isn’t to say that wind power doesn’t have an environment impact. The large spinning blades of a wind turbine can be fatal to birds and bats. The turbines also create noise pollution. The sound produced through normal operation can be annoying or disturbing to people that live near.
Fortunately, wind turbines are particularly well suited for areas far from homes and cities. The large towers that provide the base for the wind turbines also have a small footprint, which means that they don’t take up a lot of space. With all of the challenges of wind power, it obviously cannot be the sole solution for clean energy production. But the advantages of wind power generation shouldn’t be forgotten in the search for clean, renewable energy.
【1】What do we know about wind energy from the text?
A.Creating electricity with the wind is a non-renewable method of power generation.
B.Wind power has many advantages because it can be the only method we use to create electricity.
C.Although wind energy is a clean source of energy, it has an impact on the environment.
D.The wind turbines are ideal for areas nearby homes and cities.
【2】What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.important
B.accessible
C.necessary
D.reasonable
【3】Which word best describes the author’s attitude to wind energy?
A.Skeptical
B.Objective
C.Ambiguous
D.Disapproving
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Advantages and Challenges of Wind Energy.
B.Wind Energy: A Clean and Renewable Source.
C.The Development and Utilization of Wind Energy.
D.The Prospect of Wind Energy.

24、I was just a boy. And he was just my dad.
It was the 1950s. We were a small family. My parents were attentive(贴心的), caring and devoted to one another. Then suddenly, when I was 9, half of my safe and comfortable world disappeared. Dad died that morning. It was a heart attack.
A child wants to know why such things should happen. For a child, however, there can be no satisfying answers. But with adulthood, I gradually began to learn more about my dad.
He had grown up in a large family on the family farm. When war broke out in 1939, he joined the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. He was 31. He was sent overseas to southern England, where Canadian soldiers continued training while waiting for a call to action. During that time, he used his occasional(偶尔的)weeklong leaves to visit Scotland. There he met my mother, and they married in April 1942. I remember that Dad often had to go up to the veteran's(退伍军人的)hospital in Winnipeg each year. Something about his heart.
Many years later, I became more curious about his wartime and postwar experience, hoping it would help me know who he was. I sent a request to the National Archives for his postwar medical records. One day I came home from work to find a thick package at my door. It was more than 800 pages of my dad's medical records. I was overwhelmed.
So here was my dad's story, which I hadn't fully known.
This was the dad who survived years of cold conditions and lack of food in a prisoner-of-war camp in Poland. This was the dad who survived death marches(行军)in the cold winter of 1945, as the Germans paraded(游街示众)their POWs(战俘)around the countryside. This was the dad who spent 391 days in the hospital after the war. It was why he died at 50, leaving his wife and two sons behind.
The child in me could never understand why he would leave me. The adult could now forgive him for having done so. But I can't forgive war itself for the losses it causes, not only on the men and women who actively serve but on the generations yet to be born.
【1】What can we learn about the author's father?
A.He opposed war in all forms.
B.He married before going overseas.
C.He had to check his heart regularly after the war.
D.He was forced to join the army at 31.
【2】How did the author feel after reading the medical records?

D.Shocked and heartbroken.

A.He was persuaded by his brother to do so.
B.He understood what his father had gone through.
C.He remembered his father's care for him.
D.He experienced the same pain as his father had.
【4】What does the author want to convey from the article?
A.Soldiers deserve our respect.
B.A strong body means everything.
C.War brings disastrous pain for generations.
D.A father's love is important for a family.
