It

26、is perhaps one of the most widely known martial arts, because many films include its techniques. There are hundreds of styles taught all over the world, although they can be loosely divided into two camps: Shaolin style kung fu, and other techniques, some of which have a history that outdates the Sh

27、aolin order.Shaolin kung fix has its origins in the fifth century. Like some other martial arts, it began in religious temples, where the monks sought a mind and body discipline (訓練方法). In addition to the fighting style, it also includes mental exercises and religious practices designed to balance t

28、he whole body.Shaolin temples resembled universities, integrating a wide range of subjects of study. Therefore, traditional Shaolin styles such as Wing Chun, Crane, Praying Mantis, and Hung Gar took knowledge from fields outside martial arts, such as the healing arts and meditation. Supporters for S

29、haolin styles believe that they are more rounded martial arts styles, and that learners will benefit from them on a whole body level.Other fighting styles, some of which predate the Shaolin style, are also lumped under the kung fu umbrella. They include Pa-Kua, Eagle Claw, and Eight Drunken Immortal

30、s styles. These disciplines are not considered to be Shaolin style because they did not originate in temples and are focused primarily on fighting techniques.Whether Shaolin or otherwise, kung fu is characterized by self defense strategies that turn the energy of an attacker against him or her.

35、.24（8分） A new study suggests climate conditions in the Sahara Desert, one of hottest, driest and most deserted areas in the world, have changed from wet to dry a about every 20,000 years.But previous evidence has suggested the Sahara did not always experience such extreme heat and dry conditions. At

36、 times, the Sahara Ranged to a very wet climate. This permitted plants and animals to develop and grow and led to the creation of human settlements. Now, they have discovered more evidence, which, the lead researcher David Mc Gee says, supports the idea that the Saharas climate kept changing between

37、 wet and dry about every 20,000,years.McGee reported these climate changes were mainly driven by changes in the Earths(地軸)as the planet travels round the sun .This process affects the amount of sunlight between seasons. Every 20,000 years the Earth receives more strong summer sunlight. When the Eart

38、hs axis changes again, the amount of sunlight is reduced. This season change happened continuously every 20,000 years. The other part of the season produced rainy conditions, resulting in a wetter, greener, plant-rich environment. When the rainy activity weakens, the climate becomes hot and dry, lik

39、e the Sahara remains today.The scientists based their research on dust collected from ocean sediment(沉積物)in the Atlantic Ocean bottom off the coast of West Africa. The dust contained layers (層)of ancient sediment built up over millions of years. Each layer could contain traces of Saharan dust as wel

40、l as the remains of life forms. This information was used to assess over what time period the dust had built up. This led to the overall finding that the Saharan changes from wet to dry climates happened every 20,000 years.David McGee said that today we only see the Sahara Desert as an extremely des

41、erted and “inhospitable” place. The new study suggests that the areas climate has changes between grasslands and a much wetter environment, and back to dry climates, even over the last quarter million years. McGee says he thinks the latest research can be valuable in studying the Saharas history as

42、it relates to human settlement.1、What does the new study find about the Sahara Desert?AIt is one of the hottest, driest and most deserted areas in Africa.BIt always experiences extreme conditions because of its position.CIts climate changes between wet and dry about every 20,000 years.DIts environme

43、ntal conditions stop plants and animals from surviving.2、What is the direct reason for Saharas climate changes?ARainy activity.BSolar radiation.CHuman activity.DGlobal environment.3、How did the researchers acquire the evidence?ABy analyzing ocean life.BBy studying Saharas history.CBy collecting dust

44、 on the coast.DBy examining mean sediment.4、What does the underlined word “inhospitable” probably mean?AUnsuitable to live.BInsignificant lo study.CUnable to explore.DImpossible to change.25（10分）John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station.
