Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is，of course， .But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West，I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films.Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world.The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U.S.and elsewhere.
However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group.Wu-Tang Clan，founded in the early 1990s in New York City，is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.
In their songs，they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan - a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name - and Shaolin Temple.I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan - little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu.However，the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me.There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in life. "Be formless，shapeless，like water，" he once said.By this，he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties.I think this is a good way to deal with life.

When Kevin fell to the ground，the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid.Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day，but at the last minute，her shift（换班）at the hospital had been changed to see her son's performance.She was given the night off.Penny bent over the senseless boy，his face already starting to turn blue，giving CPR，breathing into his mouth and giving chest compression.And he revived in the end.

Mrs.Kelly had said these things，but she had said so to a number of dancers in order to encourage them because she believed it's important to get students inspired.Anna was also inspired by her words to be winner and beat everyone else.However，Mrs Kelly actually preferred that Anna just liked to dance on the stage.
"Students!Students!"Mr.Kelly called to the small group of girls around Anna."I'd like to introduce to you our new student，Sally.She loves dancing as you do.I hope you all take time to say hi to her nicely."
Anna looked at Sally with dancing shoes in her hands.Sally did not have a dancer's body：She was short，with legs that looked like they belonged to a frog instead of an eleven-year-old girl.Anna felt relaxed and was sure this girl would not dance well.
In the following weeks，however，it turned out that Anna made a wrong guess about Sally's dancing performance.In fact，Sally was not jut a good dancer，but an amazingly gifted dancer.She danced in beautiful ways that Anna thought was impossible for such a short girl.
What's more，Sally was a nice girl.She often helped girls with difficult dance moves.She was active，She was smart，and everyone liked her.It seemed that Sally was taking everything away from Anna.
Anna was sad and mad.The school ballet team would pick out the best dancer in only two weeks.She worried that Sally would win the contest and become the best dancer.注意：（ 1）所续写短文词数应为150左右；

本文是一篇应用文。主要讲述了不同的学习应用软件，目的是帮助学生娱乐和学习。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
4~6.【答案】B、C、D
【解析】（1）B.词义猜测题。根据第一段Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is，of course，a silly belief.许多西方人认为中国人都懂功夫。这当然是一种愚蠢的想法。可知，"a silly belief" 指代的上文提到的"Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu"（许多西方人都认为中国人都知道如何做功夫）。可知，B.All Chinese people can do kung fu. （所有中国人会功夫）正确。故选B。
（2）C.细节理解题。根据第三段However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group. 然而，我个人对功夫的兴趣实际上是受到一个嘻哈团体的启发。可知，作者对功夫的兴趣来源于一个流行乐队。C.A US hip hop group. （一个美国嘻哈乐团）正确。故选C。
（3）D.细节理解题。根据第四段句Wu-Tang Clan ，founded in the early 1990s in New York City ，is one of the most influential hip hopgroups in history.In their songs ，they sometimes mention philosophical （哲学的） concepts that come from Wudangquan-a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name-and Shaolin Temple. 武当派成立于20世纪90年代初的纽约，是历史上最有影响力的嘻哈组合之一。在他们的歌曲中，他们有时会提到来自武当权和少林寺的哲学概念。可知，在武当派的歌曲中，有时会提到一些武当拳和少林寺中的哲学观念。武当拳是中国的一种武术，也是乐队名字的由来。因此他们的歌曲中会体现出中国文化。可知，D.They have Chinese culture in their songs.（他们的歌曲中有中国文化）正确。故选D。
本文是一篇社会文化类阅读，主要讲述了中国功夫对西方人有很大的影响。本文作者受一支嘻哈乐队的影响，对中国功夫产生了浓厚的兴趣，而中国功夫背后蕴含的一些观念帮助作者战胜了生活中的很多困难。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。
7~10.【答案】A、C、D、B
【解析】（1）A.写作意图题。根据第一段"Some say everyday miracles （奇迹） are predestined （注定的）— the right time for the appointed meeting. （有人说每天都有奇迹命中注定——恰好的时间注定的相遇。它可以发生在任何地方）"及下文通过凯文和彭妮互相救助的故事，阐述了奇迹是命中注定的，在任何地方都可能发生。由此推知，作者写这篇文章是为了向我们说明A项"miracles are predestined and they can happen anywhere（奇迹是命中注定的，在任何地方都可能发生）"。故选A项。
（2）C.细节理解题。根据第三段"He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time. （他在学校努力学习，业余时间在当地一家餐馆洗碗，为上大学攒钱）"可知，凯文为了上大学攒钱，业余时间在当地一家餐馆兼职。故选C项。
（3）D.推理判断题。根据第三段"Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day，but at the last minute，her shift （换班） at the hospital had been changed to see her son's performance.She was given the night off. （彭妮•布朗本来不打算那天去，但在最后一刻，她改了在医院的班次去看她儿子的表演。她被放了一夜假）"可知，彭妮换了班，那天晚上她休息了一晚，因为她去看儿子比赛，并为他加油。故选D项。
（4）B.情感态度题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段"In 2001，11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster，New York. （2001年，11岁的凯文•斯蒂芬在纽约兰开斯特为他弟弟的小联盟球队担任球童）"以及第五段"Kevin，now 18，was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming，customers in confusion，employees rushing toward a table（现年18岁的凯文正在厨房工作，这时他听到人们尖叫，顾客们困惑不解，员工们冲向桌子） "可知，根据故事发生的时间线，凯文在11岁的时候在球场受伤，受到了佩妮的急救，经历七年以后，18岁的凯文在餐馆打工的时候，利用学习的急救知识救了被食物噎住的一个女人，当他发现这个女人正是曾经救过自己的彭妮时，心情一定是非常惊讶的。A.happy高兴的；B.surprised惊讶的；C.sad伤心的；D.worried担心的。故选B项。
这是一篇记叙文。本文通过凯文和彭妮互相救助的故事，阐述了奇迹是命中注定的，在任何地方都可能发生。
阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意，因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料；其次细读题材，各个击破，掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性，对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。
11~15.【答案】E、C、A、B、F
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据上文To live a long and healthy life could be the dream for most of us.Unfortunately，diseases and other problems may shorten our life，making the dream impossible.（健康长寿可能是我们大多数人的梦想。不幸的是，疾病和其他问题可能缩短我们的寿命，使梦想不可能实现。）可知E项"然而，我们的梦想可以通过遵循特定的饮食来实现"符合语境，都提及了实现梦想。故选E。
（2）推理判断题。根据上文When it comes to eating，many studies have shown that a special way of eating will obviously reduce the risk of serious diseases and some cancers. （说到饮食，许多研究表明，一种特殊的饮食方式将明显降低患严重疾病和某些癌症的风险。）可知有一种饮食方式可以延长寿命，可知后文是说很多人都在用这种饮食方式，G项"许多遵循这种饮食模式的人也会选择健康的生活方式"承接上文，符合语境。故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据下文For example，they take regular exercise and avoid junk foods.These choices are very helpful in making life longer.Those who follow this way of eating usually have lower blood pressure，and lower risk of developing cancers and lower chances of heart diseases.（例如，他们经常锻炼，避免吃垃圾食品。这些选择对延长寿命非常有帮助。遵循这种饮食方式的人通常血压更低，患癌症的风险更低，患心脏病的几率更低。）可知这里举了一些例子，A项"以下是一些有益的建议，让你吃得更好"能起到概括作用。故选A。
（4）推理判断题。根据下文It is proven that diets rich in such nutrition can protect us against obesity，cancers and heart diseases，which consequently leads to good health.（事实证明，富含这种营养的饮食可以保护我们免受肥胖、癌症和心脏病的影响，从而带来健康。）可知富含纤维和蛋白质的食物可以预防肥胖等疾病，可知前文是说蔬菜提供很多纤维和蛋白质。B项"这些饮食含有大量的纤维和植物蛋白"符合语境。故选B。
（5）推理判断题。根据下文They have a longer life than meat-eaters with fewer health issues along the way.（它们比肉食者寿命更长，健康问题也更少。）知吃素比吃肉更长寿，所以前文是说吃素的人更长寿，F项"总之，坚持素食的人可能会活得更长"符合语境。故选F。
本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了如何通过饮食使自己健康长寿。
七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子。解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子。

Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is，of course， .But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West，I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films.Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world.The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U.S.and elsewhere.
However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group.Wu-Tang Clan，founded in the early 1990s in New York City，is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.
In their songs，they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan - a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name - and Shaolin Temple.I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan - little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu.However，the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me.There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in life. "Be formless，shapeless，like water，" he once said.By this，he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties.I think this is a good way to deal with life.
4. What does " " in Paragraph 1 refer to？ ______
A. China is most famous for its kung fu.
B. All Chinese people can do kung fu
C. Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
D. Many Westerners admire kung fu.

B. They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.
C. They performed Chinese martial arts in the U.S.
D. They have Chinese culture in their songs.

50. Anna was the school's best dancer，and this was what she told her parents everyday. "Mrs.Kelly says I am very gifted，"she said，"She says maybe I will be the best dancer in our ballet（芭蕾）team . "
Mrs.Kelly had said these things，but she had said so to a number of dancers in order to encourage them because she believed it's important to get students inspired.Anna was also inspired by her words to be winner and beat everyone else.However，Mrs Kelly actually preferred that Anna just liked to dance on the stage.
"Students!Students!"Mr.Kelly called to the small group of girls around Anna."I'd like to introduce to you our new student，Sally.She loves dancing as you do.I hope you all take time to say hi to her nicely."

本文是一篇应用文。主要讲述了不同的学习应用软件，目的是帮助学生娱乐和学习。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
4~6.【答案】B、C、D
【解析】（1）B.词义猜测题。根据第一段Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is，of course，a silly belief.许多西方人认为中国人都懂功夫。这当然是一种愚蠢的想法。可知，"a silly belief" 指代的上文提到的"Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu"（许多西方人都认为中国人都知道如何做功夫）。可知，B.All Chinese people can do kung fu. （所有中国人会功夫）正确。故选B。
（2）C.细节理解题。根据第三段However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group. 然而，我个人对功夫的兴趣实际上是受到一个嘻哈团体的启发。可知，作者对功夫的兴趣来源于一个流行乐队。C.A US hip hop group. （一个美国嘻哈乐团）正确。故选C。
（3）D.细节理解题。根据第四段句Wu-Tang Clan ，founded in the early 1990s in New York City ，is one of the most influential hip hopgroups in history.In their songs ，they sometimes mention philosophical （哲学的） concepts that come from Wudangquan-a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name-and Shaolin Temple. 武当派成立于20世纪90年代初的纽约，是历史上最有影响力的嘻哈组合之一。在他们的歌曲中，他们有时会提到来自武当权和少林寺的哲学概念。可知，在武当派的歌曲中，有时会提到一些武当拳和少林寺中的哲学观念。武当拳是中国的一种武术，也是乐队名字的由来。因此他们的歌曲中会体现出中国文化。可知，D.They have Chinese culture in their songs.（他们的歌曲中有中国文化）正确。故选D。
本文是一篇社会文化类阅读，主要讲述了中国功夫对西方人有很大的影响。本文作者受一支嘻哈乐队的影响，对中国功夫产生了浓厚的兴趣，而中国功夫背后蕴含的一些观念帮助作者战胜了生活中的很多困难。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

（2）C.细节理解题。根据第三段"He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time. （他在学校努力学习，业余时间在当地一家餐馆洗碗，为上大学攒钱）"可知，凯文为了上大学攒钱，业余时间在当地一家餐馆兼职。故选C项。
（3）D.推理判断题。根据第三段"Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day，but at the last minute，her shift （换班） at the hospital had been changed to see her son's performance.She was given the night off. （彭妮•布朗本来不打算那天去，但在最后一刻，她改了在医院的班次去看她儿子的表演。她被放了一夜假）"可知，彭妮换了班，那天晚上她休息了一晚，因为她去看儿子比赛，并为他加油。故选D项。

这是一篇记叙文。本文通过凯文和彭妮互相救助的故事，阐述了奇迹是命中注定的，在任何地方都可能发生。
阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意，因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料；其次细读题材，各个击破，掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性，对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。

（4）推理判断题。根据下文It is proven that diets rich in such nutrition can protect us against obesity，cancers and heart diseases，which consequently leads to good health.（事实证明，富含这种营养的饮食可以保护我们免受肥胖、癌症和心脏病的影响，从而带来健康。）可知富含纤维和蛋白质的食物可以预防肥胖等疾病，可知前文是说蔬菜提供很多纤维和蛋白质。B项"这些饮食含有大量的纤维和植物蛋白"符合语境。故选B。
（5）推理判断题。根据下文They have a longer life than meat-eaters with fewer health issues along the way.（它们比肉食者寿命更长，健康问题也更少。）知吃素比吃肉更长寿，所以前文是说吃素的人更长寿，F项"总之，坚持素食的人可能会活得更长"符合语境。故选F。
