Liu Wei is a Confucius Institute (孔子学院) kung fu teacher at the University of Sierra Leone (塞拉利昂). To help his students learn kung fu well, Liu puts lots of efforts into researching and improving his teaching methods. He teaches martial arts (武术) in a creative way, making learning more enjoyable.
Liu Wei’s students were introduced to kung fu through movies and TV shows. Kung fu movies and TV shows are very popular among them. That’s where Liu Wei has got his new ideas of teaching. He uses movie clips (片段) in class to help students learn kung fu better. “Martial arts classes should not be just about martial arts skills,” Liu said. He also teaches students the Chinese language and other knowledge he considers necessary for their overall martial arts development. He encourages his students to take part in all kinds of cultural exchange (交流) activities, including martial arts performances and traditional Chinese festivals.
“I used to think kung fu was just for movies. Now I have a better understanding of its spirit,” one of Liu’s students, Georgiana, said. After meeting Liu, many students expressed a strong wish to visit China.
So far, Liu has taught nearly 1,000 students. “In the future, I want to build a ‘martial arts bridge’ between China and Sierra Leone,” he said. “I hope more and more people come to China to enjoy the beauty of rich Chinese culture.”
1.1. How does Liu Wei make his martial arts classes more enjoyable?
A By taking part in TV shows.
B By using movie clips in class.
C By celebrating Chinese festivals.
D By making movies about kung fu.
解析:选B。B 细节理解 文章第一段提到“He teaches martial arts in a creative way, making learning more enjoyable.” 紧接着第二段解释了他如何做到这一点:“He uses movie clips in class to help students learn kung fu better.” 因此,使用电影片段是使课堂更有趣的具体方法。A选项(参加电视节目)、C选项(庆祝中国节日)和D选项(制作功夫电影)均与“使课堂更有趣”这一具体问题的答案不符。
2.2. What is Liu Wei like according to the passage?
A Shy and strict.
B Kind and humorous.
C Honest and old-fashioned.
D Creative and hard-working.
解析:选D。D 细节理解题 文章描述了刘伟的多个特点:Hard-working (勤奋的): 第一句即提到“puts lots of efforts into researching and improving his teaching methods”。Creative (有创造力的): 第一段明确提到“in a creative way”,第二段具体阐述了他利用电影片段教学这一创新方法。其他选项:A(害羞和严格)、B(善良和幽默)、C(诚实和守旧)在文中均未体现或作为主要特点被描述。
3.3. What can we learn from the passage?
A Georgiana became a kung fu star after meeting Liu Wei.
B Liu Wei puts lots of efforts into spreading Chinese culture.
C Liu Wei seldom cares about students’ overall development.
D Liu Wei’s students knew about kung fu after visiting China.
解析:选B。B 推理判断题 这是对文章核心内容的概括。刘伟不仅是教授功夫技能(第一段),他还教授中文、组织文化交流活动、鼓励学生了解中国文化(第二段),并立志搭建中塞“武术桥梁”(第四段)。这一切都表明他致力于传播中国文化。A选项(乔治亚娜成为功夫明星)文中未提及。C选项(刘伟很少关心学生的全面发展)与第二段他教授中文等“必要知识”并鼓励学生参与活动的描述完全相反。D选项(刘伟的学生在访问中国后才了解功夫)与第二段开头“通过电影电视了解功夫”的事实不符。
4.4. Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A The Beauty of Chinese Culture.
B Chinese Movies and Kung Fu Learning.
C A Martial Arts Teacher in Sierra Leone.
D Traditional Chinese Festivals in Sierra Leone.
解析:选C。C 主旨大意题 整篇文章围绕刘伟——一位在塞拉利昂大学孔子学院教授功夫的老师展开,讲述了他的教学方法、理念、影响和抱负。因此,这个标题最能概括全文内容。A选项(中国文化之美)过于宽泛。B选项(中国电影与功夫学习)和D选项(塞拉利昂的中国传统节日)都只是文章提到的局部细节,不能涵盖全文主旨。
