He is a Shifu, a Chinese word literally meaning a master, mentor or senior practioner of martial arts. Tokuda has reason to be proud. He has been involved with Chinese martial arts for almost four decades. After learning them at the martial arts school in New Mexico State, today he is among the most experienced kung fu teachers of the school. Practicing martial arts two to three hours and helping students improve their skills have bee Tokuda39。s daily routine. He expects to practice and teach martial arts for the rest of his life. I39。m still learning. It39。s worth more than a lifetime to learn Chinese martial arts, he said. Once I started, I just couldn39。t stop. I think it39。s also the magic of Chinese culture. Tokuda was sent to the martial arts school when he was 10. He still remembers how unwilling he was when starting out. My father had always wanted to learn Chinese martial arts but never got the chance, so he put his kid in, he said. I was so afraid at that time because I thought kung fu was all about fighting. But things changed after he learned that martial arts were more than punching and kicking. One of the things martial arts teach me is overing adversity, Tokuda said. As a little kid, my first lesson was like, oh, look, this is a thing that I can get through by diligence, perseverance(毅力)and dedication, and that was priceless for my life. Learning Chinese martial arts opened a gateway for him to better understand Chinese culture because he could hear a lot of ancient Chinese kung furelated stories. It is like in America, where we hear stories about knights in shining armor and King Arthur and noble deeds done, he said. I feel martial arts preserve something of ancient China that can39。t be found in books. They are sort of an oral history. Tokuda has also been invited to various events in his home state to showcase traditional Chinese culture, including the dragon dance and lion dance, which he also learnt at the martial arts school. Because of this, he is now considered a cultural envoy (使者) in the eyes of the public.(1)Tokuda didn39。t want to learn kung fu because he had thought it was __________.

He has been involved with Chinese martial arts for almost four decades. ”Tokuda從事中國武術近40年,可以推斷他的堅持;第三段中的“Practicing martial arts two to three hours and helping students improve their skills have bee Tokuda39。s daily routine. He expects to practice and teach martial arts for the rest of his life. ”幫助學生提高他們的技能已經成為Tokuda每天的例行公事,他希望在他的余生中練習和教授武術,可以推斷他對自己事業(yè)的熱愛與奉獻。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。9.閱讀理解 The origin of “holiday” is easy to see, ing from “holy day”, a day of particular religious significance, often celebrating the life of a saint (圣徒), during which no work was to be done.
