the most popular topics of discussion among foreigners talking about china. as a discipline of kung fu with the largest number of practitioners in china, tai chi is gaining popularity worldwide. tai chi is sweeping the world thanks to its deep cultural roots and the health benefits coming from practicing it.the philosophy of tai chi features the concept of yin and yang, which is typical of confucianism and taoism. tai chi also takes in ideas from traditional chinese medicine, including anatomy (解剖学) and physiology (生理学). it is a practice that couples hardness with softness, and it is a perfect example of traditional chinese culture.through lasting practice, learners begin to feel the positive impact (影响) of tai chi on their health. unlike kung fu practices that focus on attacking and defending against enemies, tai chi focuses more on shaping good characters and keeping fit. by practicing tai chi, people will feel an improvement in their physical and psychological health by promoting a balance between yin and yang within their bodies. this is similar to western medicines improving peoples self-healing ability and immune system.tai chi is playing an important role in presenting chinese culture to the rest of the world, acting like a bridge between china and other countries. recent years have seen a lot of international communication on tai chi. in provinces like hebei, henan, shanxi and shaanxi, where tai chi teaching and learning are particularly active, local governments and non-governmental institutions often organize activities and competitions for learners and fans to attend and participate in. large sporting events hosted by china such as the asian games and olympics have featured tai chi performances or contests. these activities have opened a window for the outside world to know more about tai chi, paving the way for its overseas wide spread.today, tai chi not only belongs to china, but also to the whole world and to everyone who loves it.24. why is tai chi becoming popular around the world?a. chinese culture spreads quickly.b. a good many people practice it.c. foreigners show more interest in it.d. it has deep culture roots and health benefits.25. what does tai chi represent?a. the ideas of medicine.b. the traditional chinese culture.c. the characteristic of yin and yang.d. a practice of hardness and softness.26. according to paragraph 3, tai chi practice is to .a. restore peoples immune systemb. help people keep healthy and get good charactersc. defend the body from being attackedd. improve peoples self-healing ability27. what can be inferred from paragraph 4?a. tai chi has become a sport event.b. tai chi is active only in central china.c. tai chi promotes cross-culture communications.d. tai chi opens a window for people to know about the world.chumans are much worse at estimating risk than we think we are. while we overestimate the risk of rare but disastrous occurrences, such as being attacked by a shark, many of us seriously underestimate the risk of behaviors that reduce our lifespan (寿命), such as smoking.in fact, there are two types of risks acute and chronic. acute risks are those that may kill you immediately, such as a car accident.chronic risks dont kill you immediately but rob you of your life a little at a time. if you choose to eat an unhealthy diet, for instance, you may appear to be getting away with this, but you risk developing illnesses in future that may shorten your life.the problem is we value things much less when they occur in the future. distant events are abstract we dont know how and when they might affect us - so we care less about them.take smoking for example. it is just about the worst choice you can make for your health. every two cigarettes that you smoke takes 30 minutes off your lifespan.in contrast, eating vegetables is clearly very good for you, with each serve increasing your lifespan by two hours. this is a massive health gain and clearly should be a strong motivator for you to eat healthily.drinking coffee is also good for you, though with limited health gains. each cup of coffee (assuming you drink reasonably), is associated with approximately a ten-minute gain in your lifespan.even drinking alcohol may add to your lifespan, with each serve adding 30 minutes to the length of your life. but this health gain is only true for the first drink; following drinks shorten lifespan. alcohol also causes an acute risk when consumed in excess. too much drinking gives you a 25 in one million chance of sudden death.we shouldnt be too nervous about exposure to risks. life is all about making decisions about risks and rewards, and we all have a different starting point for what we consider acceptable risks to take. even if we dont always make the healthiest decisions, at least we can make ones that are fully informed.28. which of the following belongs to acute risks?a. eating junk food every day.b. being hit in a plane crash.c. staying up late every night.d. being too much overweight.29. why do people often ignore chronic risks?a. they can often get away with them.b. they can rid themselves of their side effects.c. they dont reduce their lifespan.d. they will not cause immediate death.30. which habit will shorten your lifespan?a. eating vegetables every day.b. smoking only one cigarette a day.c. drinking a cup of coffee every day.d. drinking alcohol reasonably.31. what does the underlined phrase “in excess” in the 8th paragraph mean?a. at random.b. in need.c. more than enough.d. ahead of time.dbinge-watching (刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode of a tv show one after another. with developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now watch their favorite shows directly on the internet at their convenience.this behavior is nothing new. in fact, “binge-watching” has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. the entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available at the same time. once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode.however, this wonderful gift may in fact be poisonous. recent research from british media ofcom suggests that this behavior may have become a hindrance (障碍). out of the more than half of british adults who watch more than one episode of a show in a row, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have failed to do their household chores. next well be missing work!bingeing has other connectionsbinge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking, all of which are often associated with compulsive (强迫性的) behavior, a lack of control and possible route to addiction. lindsey fussell, consumer group director at ofcom, said, “the days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” if people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence (疏忽) in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?the large amount of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. it offers us opportunities to better understand the world we live in, educate ourselves and enjoy much needed downtime. however, like any behavior done to an extreme degree, it can become dangerous. and when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning-then it becomes a problem. so, whats the answer? neither a tiny amount, nor too much. after all, as the old proverb says, a little of what you fancy does you good.32. which of the following can not make binge-watching possible nowadays?a. the increases in technology.b. the demand of tv viewers.c. the development of the internet.d. the rise of on-demand entertainment companies.33. what effects can binge-watching bring about if you have formed the habit?a. positive.b. negative.c. neutral.d. unclear.34. which of the following is not connected with bingeing?a. some uncontrollable behaviors.b. watching too much.c. leading to negligence in many things.d. waiting a week for the next episode.35. we can quit binge-watching by .a. educating ourselvesb. doing something goodc. watching neither too little nor too muchd. better understanding the world we live in第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。every art lover
