学科网(北京)股份有限公司INTEGRATIVE ACUPUNCTURE IN CHINESE MEDICINE
"I am not delusional," declares Dr. Li Ming, after treating a patient with traditional Chinese acupuncture. "I am
pioneering a new frontier." Despite the skepticism from some peers, Dr. Li remains undeterred by their occasional
ridicule. He stands among a select group of Chinese medical practitioners who are embracing an integrative
approach to healing—melding the wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine with modern medical science.
Dr. Li, an alumnus of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, initially pursued a more conventional path in his
medical career. His journey towards alternative therapies began two decades ago when he was plagued by severe
back pain. Conventional treatments offered him little respite. It was through acupuncture, an age-old Chinese
medical technique, that he found remarkable improvement after just a few sessions. This personal experience
inspired him to explore its potential for his patients. After years of dedicated study and practice, he started
integrating these methods into his treatments.
Consider the case of Zhang Wei's father, who suffered from chronic migraines. Zhang was at the brink of despair,
ready to concede to the relentless pain, but Dr. Li's integrative approach not only alleviated his symptoms but also
significantly improved his quality of life. Similarly, Chen Yu recounts how her mother, after a stroke, regained
mobility and speech function following a series of acupuncture sessions.
Dr. Li is convinced that the integrative approach to acupuncture will gain broader acceptance, and historical trends
seem to support his optimism: Since the establishment of the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine in 1990,
its membership has surged from a handful to thousands. "The profound effectiveness of this integrative practice
sometimes astonishes even me," Dr. Li admits. "I am committed to exploring every avenue to aid my patients. That
is the essence of my vocation."
4. What is the opinion of some of Dr. Li's colleagues regarding his methods?
A. They consider him unconventional.
B. They perceive him as overly strict.
C. They admire his courage. D. They find him impolite.
5. What motivated Dr. Li to explore acupuncture for his patients?
A. His academic training in acupuncture.
B. The influence of a fellow practitioner.
C. His personal benefits from acupuncture.
D. A desire to reduce medical costs for patients.
6. What is the main focus of paragraph 3?
A. The procedural details of acupuncture treatment.
第3页,共11页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司B. The intricacies involved in a medical practitioner's work.
C. The rarity of certain diseases in patients.
D. The tangible benefits of integrative medicine.
7. Why does the author refer to the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine?
A. To validate Dr. Li's perspective.
B. To highlight the association's significance.
C. To commend the dedication of medical practitioners.
D. To promote the cause of patient advocacy.

PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC GAMES VENUE DESIGN
"Innovation is not just about technology; it's about the human experience," says Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the lead
architect for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. "We are crafting spaces that will be etched in the collective memory."
His vision is to create venues that are not only functional but also a testament to the spirit of the Games. Yet, the
path to realizing this vision is fraught with challenges, as it requires balancing aesthetics with sustainability and
legacy.
Wilmotte, renowned for his work that blends modernity with tradition, is faced with the task of designing venues
that will host the world's most prestigious sporting event. His approach is to reimagine the urban landscape,
creating spaces that are both iconic and adaptable, ensuring they serve Paris beyond the Games.
The design process for the Olympic venues is a complex interplay of form and function. The benefits of thoughtful
architectural design are particularly evident when the focus shifts from simple structures to those that demand a
higher level of conceptual integration—such as venues that can be repurposed for community use post-Games.
The differences in the design of traditional stadiums and the innovative venues for Paris 2024 are partly related to
the physical properties of the materials and the spatial arrangement. With the new venues, there is a tactile quality
to the spaces, along with a visual narrative that tells the story of the Games and the city's heritage.
But equally important is the conceptual aspect. The design team has proposed a theory of "spatial engagement,"
suggesting that the venues should not only accommodate events but also engage visitors in a dialogue with the city
and its culture.
While the allure of new technology is undeniable, and many are tempted to rely solely on digital renderings and
simulations, the tangible experience of the spaces cannot be replicated. Architects have found that when people
physically engage with a space, they form a deeper connection and memory of the event.
第4页,共11页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司The Paris 2024 venues, with their integration of technology, art, and architecture, all play a role in shaping the
Olympic experience. However, for creating an environment where the spirit of the Games is fully realized and the
legacy is meaningful, the design team must not assume that all design approaches are equivalent, even when they
aim to achieve the same objectives.
8. What does the phrase "shine through" in paragraph 2 imply?
A. The benefits are short-lived.
B. The benefits are difficult to articulate.
C. The benefits become readily apparent.
D. The benefits are ready for implementation.
9. What does the "spatial engagement" theory assume?
A. Venues should be treated as simple containers for events.
B. Venues are easy to understand in terms of their design.
C. People choose venues randomly based on their design.
D. Venues should engage visitors in a meaningful way.
10. Why are technological tools increasingly used in the design process?
A. They can capture the public's imagination.
B. They are more convenient to use in the design phase.
C. They help develop more advanced architectural solutions.
D. They provide more information than traditional design methods.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Multiple design approaches should be considered.
B. Designers should create their own unique materials.
C. Traditional design methods cannot be entirely replaced.
D. The importance of experiential learning in design should not be overlooked.

In the quest to understand and compare the educational paradigms shaping the minds of future generations,
researchers have delved into the intricate dynamics of Chinese and Western pedagogical approaches. Today, the
discourse on education systems is often framed by ideological debates and cultural perspectives. Yet, a new
comprehensive study aims to dissect these systems beyond surface-level observations, exploring the underlying
philosophies and their impact on students.
"With the proliferation of educational theories, it is crucial for us to examine the core principles that drive different
第5页,共11页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司educational systems," said Dr. Li Wei, lead author of the study and a professor of comparative education at the
University of Beijing. "These systems now influence the lives of millions of students worldwide, and as we
increasingly rely on them to shape the minds of our youth, I wanted to know: How do they compare?"
Using a diverse set of educational case studies and outcomes from various countries, Dr. Li and her team
scrutinized the effectiveness and philosophical underpinnings of Chinese and Western education systems.
"We were particularly interested in identifying the factors that contribute to the distinct characteristics of each
system, such as the emphasis on rote learning in some cultures versus the focus on critical thinking in others," said
Dr. Li.
Their study revealed that the educational outcomes are not solely determined by the amount of content covered but
also by the pedagogical approach. Moreover, these systems are biased towards certain types of learners and
intellectual development. This is expected since the educational systems are often a reflection of the cultural values
and societal expectations of the regions they serve.
What can we learn from the comparative analysis of these educational systems?
"A great deal," Dr. Li explained. "Educational policymakers can use our study to inform the development of
curricula that balance the need for knowledge retention with the cultivation of critical thinking skills. To improve
the adaptability of educational systems, we can also encourage the incorporation of diverse teaching methods that
cater to a range of learning styles."
QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION
12. What do we know about the current state of educational records and observations?
A. They are becoming outdated.
B. They are mostly based on theoretical models.
C. They are limited in scope.
D. They are used for comparative analysis.
13. What does Dr. Li's study focus on?
A. Teaching methodologies.
B. Educational infrastructure.
C. Observational data.
D. Student performance metrics.
14. What has led to the differences between the Chinese and Western education systems according to the
study?
A. Cultural and historical factors.

学科网(北京)股份有限公司ㅤIn the quaint town of Clocksville, every resident was obsessed with timekeeping. The town was famous for its
giant clock tower that not only kept perfect time but was also rumored to have magical properties. The townsfolk
believed that the clock had the power to transport anyone who touched its gears to a different time and place.
One day, a young boy named Timmy, curious and adventurous, decided to test the legend. He snuck into the clock
tower late at night, climbed the winding stairs, and reached out to touch the ancient gears. As his fingers made
contact, a bright light engulfed him, and he felt a strange sensation of weightlessness.
When the light faded, Timmy found himself in a world unlike any he had ever seen. He was in a land where time
seemed to flow in reverse, and the people were walking backward, birds flew upside down, and the sun was setting
in the east. Timmy was bewildered but also excited by this strange new world.
He explored the land, trying to understand its rules and how to return home. Along the way, he met a wise old owl
who spoke in riddles and hinted at a way to reverse the effects of the magical clock. The owl told Timmy that he
must find the "Hourglass of Reversal" hidden in the heart of the Timeless Forest.
Timmy ventured into the forest, following the clues given by the owl. After many trials and strange encounters, he
finally found the Hourglass of Reversal. It was a beautiful artifact, shimmering with a soft glow, and it seemed to
hold the power to control time itself.
As Timmy picked up the hourglass, he felt a surge of energy. He knew he had to be careful with his next move. The
owl had warned him that using the hourglass incorrectly could have dire consequences.
P1 "With a deep breath, Timmy turned the hourglass over, hoping against hope that it would work."
