For one overseas student who has been in China for over a decade,learning the moves and culture associated with Chinese martial arts has been his most valuable experience.

Souleymane Hima Oumarou, a Nigerien student at Hebei University in Baoding, Hebei Province, first came to the university in 2012 as an undergraduate, not only for education, but also to achieve his dream of learning the Chinese martial art of kung fu.He became a fan of kung fu after watching movies starring famous martial artists such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

During his studies in Baoding, Oumarou joined the university's martial arts association and studied under Duan Shuxing,one of the association's instructors.Following Duan's instructions, Oumarou began to practice basic moves in 2015, including Eight Extremities Fist,orbajiquan,as well as the associated art of tai chi.

“Learning martial arts has not been easy because I was not young when I started,”the 36-year-old said, adding that he was forced to overcome difficulties and make more of an effort to learn more advanced moves.

Ⅱ.補全信息

If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime,you will see people,mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood.__1__Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States Period.While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess,there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty,Xiangqi was a popular game in China.__2__And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.

And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played.Like Western chess,the object of the game is to capture the other player's“king”.Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.

__3__Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board,which the elephants cannot cross.__4__This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war.The war was so influential that“the Chu River and the Han Boundary”has become a metaphor(隱喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies.When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke,able to hear the beating of war drums.__5__

A.Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines.

B.During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.

C.It is called“the Chu River and the Han Boundary”.

D.The game is called Xiangqi,a game for ordinary people.

E.There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.

F.An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.

G.Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.

Ⅵ.讀后續(xù)寫

閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。

Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing,especially when you're 13 years old.I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything.I was quite disappointed, to say the least.And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish,walking across campus with a false smile on my face.I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile.No matter where you are, a smile will always be understood.A smile is universal.At that very moment,however,I felt my mother's advice didn't work.

On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year-old on the first day of school:where would I sit at lunch? Who would I talk to? Not to mention,how would I make friends when I didn't even speak the language?My heartbeat quickened,and I felt nervous.Still,I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.

When the teacher introduced me to the class as the“American girl”, 10 sets of hands immediately shot up.Some students had questions,and others wanted to practice their English with me.Because I didn't speak much Chinese yet,I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese.Despite the attention, I wasn't sure how much of it was positive.It was almost as if they weren't sure what to make of me and I was being examined.Then again,who could blame them? After all,I was the first American ever to attend the school.So essentially,we were all first timers.

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右。
