But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American living in California, this legendary character has been a part of his identity (身份). He has spent the past thirty years mastering Peking Opera, becoming an excellent foreign performer in this traditional Chinese art, and getting the nickname "Western Monkey King".
His lifelong love for Peking Opera began by chance. In 1993, 32-year-old Pourazar attended a performance at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall and was immediately attracted. "I was crying," he recalled. "I had a deep love for different art forms before, including acting, dancing, and movement. But at that moment, everything else faded away. I saw all these arts in Peking Opera." With the help of the head of the Chinese troupe (剧团), Pourazar entered an opera school in Beijing. Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles (武角) of the art.
Starting as an adult was not easy. "My classmates were all children," he said. "As an adult without any basic skills, it is very hard for you to practice the movements." Besides the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language was another challenge. "I was reciting the words and songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming," Pourazar added. "Though it was painful, I enjoyed every moment," he said.
Over the years, he has been introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international people, taking Chinese performers to perform in different countries. He has also been teaching courses in the US and bringing Peking Opera to Western learners. To better connect with Western learners, he has translated some classic plays such as "The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven" into English versions.
"I want to be a bridge between cultures," he said, reflecting on his multicultural background.
(1)、What made Pourazar fall in love with Peking Opera?A、His childhood love for different art forms. B、The great help from opera performers. C、A great performance at a London theatre. D、His learning at an opera school in Beijing.(2)、What does the underlined phrase "faded away" in Para 2 mean?A、disappeared gradually B、beat heavily C、happened suddenly D、spread slowly(3)、Which of the following is NOT the challenge Pourazar faced as a beginner?A、His physical conditions. B、His learning method. C、His basic skills. D、His language ability.(4)、Which part of the newspaper may the passage be taken from?A、Travel Experience B、Sports Field C、Interesting People D、Culture World3. 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。The lion dance is an important art form in China. It is performed at many festivals, especially Chinese New Year. Many believe it brings good luck and prevents bad spirits. It is a way to create a festive atmosphere (气氛).
The dance is often performed by two artists dressed in a lion costume. The one in the front is the head and front limbs. The one behind is the back and hind legs. As the dance includes many difficult movements, the artists need to practice kung fu to perform it well.
The lion dance experienced a peak (巅峰) in popularity during the Tang Dynasty, when it was one of the court dances. But its history dates back longer. Historical records show that it was being performed as early as the Han Dynasty.
The dance's origins are not certain. Some say an emperor dreamed of a strange animal after a war. He wanted to know what it was. His advisors told him that this animal was a lion. The emperor thought it was a gift from heaven and asked people to make this animal. The "lion models" were used in the future battles to encourage soldiers.
Others say that the lion dance had to do with Emperor Zhang of Han. At that time, a lion was sent to the emperor. It was so difficult to control that it ended up being beaten to death by court servants. To avoid being punished, two servants dressed up as the lion and copied its behavior.
As time goes by, two kinds of lion dances developed, the northern and the southern. The northern lion looks more real, while the southern lion looks more like a dragon. The northern lion makes great use of its prancing legs. The southern lion makes dramatic head thrusts to the sound of drums and gongs. Whichever form it takes, it stands for power and wisdom in Chinese culture.
(1)、What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A、What the lion dance is about. B、How people perform the lion dance. C、Where the lion dance is performed. D、Why people create the lion dance.(2)、What can be learned about the lion dance?A、It is performed on Christmas Day. B、It experiences a very hard time. C、It develops two kinds in North China. D、It is a symbol of power and wisdom.(3)、Why did the writer mention two emperors?A、To deacribe the emperors' fear to the lion. B、To show the emperors' love to the dance. C、To show the beginning of the Lion D、To tell the importance of the Lion Dance.(4)、What's the best title for the passage?A、A Tradition of Good Luck and Courage B、A Dance of Freedom and Beauty C、An Animal of Speed and Power D、An Emperor of Power and Wisdom4. 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。From social relationships to work challenges, Chinese people are turning to DeepSeek to deal with different personal matters. They describe sharing their thoughts and receiving helpful responses (回应) from the popular chatbot. As a rising trend on social media, AI therapy (疗法) is changing the way people look for mental health support. But can AI really replace a human therapist (治疗学家)?
Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental health care in 2024 did not receive it, with problems including cost and being short of providers, according to Huntington Psychological (心理) Services. Daniel Lowd, a professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help solve the absence of therapy services. "If people can find some support and thoughts by talking to Chatbots, then I think that's wonderful," Lowd told Newsweek.
Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people's needs for emotional support. By using basic knowledge of psychotherapy, DeepSeek can help with some mental problems through comforting responses. However, he points out that AI cannot completely replace experts because the human touch is important for therapeutic services. Therapists develop a deeper understanding of people's emotions and needs through communication, which allows them to offer more helpful treatment plans.
The use of AI in psychotherapy also has made people question if its answers can be trusted. "AI chatbots will respond as therapists if asked, without any of the management, training or responsibility of a human counselor (顾问)," Richard Lachman, a professor told Newsweek.
Experts believe the key to AI therapy lies in proper government management. Wysa, for example, is a mental health app that offers therapeutic conversations with an AI chatbot. In 2022, it worked with the UK's National Health Service, following a list of strict standards. As AI becomes more a part of our lives, understanding its influence on human psychology means finding a balance between what's helpful and what's dangerous, Euronews reported.
(1)、How does the writer develop the first paragraph?A、By giving an example. B、By telling a story. C、By comparing two facts. D、By imagining a scene.(2)、How can AI help in mental health care according to Daniel Lowd?A、By offering more medical costs. B、By solving the absence of therapy services. C、By training professional teachers. D、By replacing all human therapists.(3)、Why does Li Yong believe AI cannot fully replace human therapists?A、Because AI chatbots are short of basic knowledge of psychotherapy. B、Because AI chatbots cannot provide comforting responses. C、Because Human therapists better understand emotions and needs. D、Because Human therapispts can follow strict government rules well.(4)、What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A、The importance of the management for AI therapy. B、The influence of AI chatbots in human psychology. C、The introduction to a popular mental health app. D、The differences between AI and human therapists.二、第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第二节 任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
