日。
【原文·时文阅读】

With a gentle lift of the hands, a slow rise of the body and a steady bend of the knees, Taijiquan has been
practiced for centuries by people of all ages and backgrounds. More than an exercise, it's a way of life - one that
blends physical health with deep philosophical insight.
读时文精读
Recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an intangible
cultural heritage of humanity in 2020, Taijiquan has reached more than 180 countries and regions.
Now, Taijiquan takes another graceful step onto the global stage. With UNESCO's approval of a resolution on
November 5 designating March 21 as International , this centuries-old art form has a day of its own to be celebrated
around the world.
The decision, made at the 43rd session of the UNESCO General Conference in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, marks
the first time an international day has been named after a martial art within the UN system.
The move signifies the widespread global recognition of the important value of Taijiquan, a treasured traditional
Chinese sport, and is a vivid example of the Global Civilization Initiative in action, Xinhua reported. Delegates said
the establishment of International carries profound significance for improving human health, fostering cross-
cultural understanding and promoting peace and sustainable development worldwide.
Jiang Jiding, director of the Taijiquan Special Committee of the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Safeguarding
Association, told the Global Times on Thursday that the designation by the UN allows the Eastern philosophy of
"overcoming strength with gentleness" and maintaining yin-yang balance to become a shared wisdom for humanity
in coping with modern anxiety.

Passage1 阅读理解
“Taijiquan is a traditional physical practice in China characterized by relaxed, circular movements that work
with breath regulation.” thus reads the introduction of Taijiquan by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization(UNESCO) on its website. Also referred to as T'ai Chi or Chinese boxing, Taijiquan has been
a well-known physical practice worldwide. For a long time, different stories regarding the birthplace of Taijiquan
have made the rounds, focusing mainly on two places-Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province, central China, and
Wenxian County.
A tale tells how a man named Zhang Shanfeng created Taijiquan about 1,000 years ago after witnessing a
fight between a sparrow and a snake, drawing inspiration from the animals' movements. The Wudang Mountain is
known as one of China's major Taoist land-marks. This oldest philosophy of China has had a great impact on
Taijiquan.
The story about its Chenjiagou origin has some more hard proof. In the mid-17th century, a retired general
and village head named Chen Wangting combined his kungfu training with elements of Chinese philosophy to
create Chen style Tai Chi. Popular belief holds that many modern styles of Taijiquan have been derived from the
Chen style. Wenxian is listed as Taijiquan's birthplace on the UNESCO website.
Different from Shaolin Kungfu's powerful approach, Taijiquan looks softer and slower. This soft yet
powerful spirit runs through the style of Chenjiagou, which has about 300 years of Taijiquan history.
The Chen style Taijiquan was passed down the generations. Chen Ziqiang is a direct offspring of Chen
Wangting. His uncle Chen Xiaowang is now a world-renowned T'ai Chi master and his father Chen Xiaoxing, a
leading actor in the video that China submitted to the UNESCO when applying for the honor, also has gained
international fame.
1．What can we know from paragraph 1?
A．Taijiquan benefits our body.
B．Taijiquan is for competition.
C．Taijiquan is in a stressful movement.
D．Taijiquan features quick movements.
2．What does the underlined word “derived” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Declined.
B．Developed.
C．Obtained.
D．Differed.
3．What can we know about Chen style T'ai Chi from the text?
A．The Chen style is softer and slower than modern styles of T'ai Chi

B．The Chen style has a great impact on philosophy of China.
C．It has about 300 years of history.
D．It was created by animals' fight.
4．In which section of newspaper can you read the text?

【长难句分析】
【文章原句】His uncle Chen Xiaowang is now a world-renowned T'ai Chi master and his father Chen Xiaoxing, a
leading actor in the video that China submitted to the UNESCO when applying for the honor, also has gained
international fame.
【句式分析】 这个句子是一个并列复合句。And 前后是两个并列分句，后面的分句中的 a leading actor 是
Chen Xiaoxing 的同位语，that China submitted to the UNESCO when applying for the honor 是定语从句修饰先行
词the video，when applying for the honor 是状语从句的省略。

奖项时提交的视频中领衔出演的演员——同样享誉国际。
Passage2 阅读理解
Tai chi, a centuries-old Chinese martial art and an internationally popular form of exercise, has been added to
the cultural heritage list of the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
As its initial (最初) application was turned down in 2008, for more than 10 years, China has been trying to
have Tai chi — also known as taijiquan — recognised officially by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organisation on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (联合国教科文组
织人类非物质文化遗产代表). At the time, judges told China it had applied for too many listings for Tai chi to be
considered for a place. China was told to reduce its applications from listings, which included tai chi, Shaolin kung
fu, Peking opera and acupuncture (针灸).
According to the Mayo Clinic in the United States, doing Tai chi can reduce stress, anxiety and depression,
improve energy and stamina (耐力), strengthen the immune system (免疫)and reduce joint pain. “It is not just a
sport to make people fit, but also contains Chinese culture and philosophy,” researcher Yan Shuangjun also told
Xinhua News Agency. The application started in 2008 and now we made a victory, which will help this sport to
reach more places.
Tai chi has a massive, devoted global following. Millions of elderly Chinese people practise it every day in
city parks. Each year, tens of thousands of people from other counties come to China to learn it. Gisele Bundchen,
one of the highest-paid models in the world, makes Tai chi into her daily life. Others who have been attracted by its
use in their lives include actors Terence Stamp and Paul Adrian, Bollywood star Kunal Kapoor, and musician RZA
of the Wu Tang Clan — to say nothing of its importance to martial artists such as Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and Jet
Li.
5．What can we learn about the applications in 2008?
A．The first application of tai chi was accepted.
B．Tai chi is a Chinese martial art with a short time.
C．China applied for acupuncture and Peking opera.
D．China thought itself had applied for too many listings.
6．How did Mayo Clinic say about Tai chi?
A．Help people think more quickly.
B．Reduce headache and promote sleep.
C．Lead to some depression and severe joint pain.
D．Help people build up energy and reduce stress.
7．How can we describe Tai chi from the last paragraph ?
A．Healthy.
B．Hard to learn.
C．Welcomed.
D．Time-taking.
8．In which section of a newspaper may this passage appear?
A．Culture.
B．Life style.
C．Education.
D．Custom.

Tai Chi, or Taijiquan in Chinese, is an outstanding part of traditional Chinese culture that is valuable in
promoting health, developing self-defence skills, and improving concentration and overall well-being. Here are five
reasons for you to try Tai Chi.
● Tai Chi is good for both body and mind.
Tai Chi is a gentle martial art that originated in China. It’s called “meditation (冥想) in motion”, because it
involves slow movements with a focus on breathing and on what your body is doing in that moment.
1
● It’s easy on the body.
Tai Chi is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. It is low-impact, meaning there is little risk of damage to
your joints (关节).
2
It’s an exercise that can be easily adapted for less able people, including those in
wheelchairs.
● It may promote brain power.
3
Studies have found that regular Tai Chi can improve cognitive functioning in older people with
dementia (痴呆) and without. Given that it’s considered safe and suitable for the elderly, this is a definite win.
● You can do it at home.
Classes are useful not just for teaching the movements but also for meeting like-minded people.
4
You’re bound to find one that matches your fitness level and exercise preferences.
● It has the feel-good factor.
Practising Tai Chi can reduce one’s stress and anxiety.
5

Chi, according to a research, though further research is needed.
A．Benefits aren’t just physical.
