B
In a lively martial arts(武术) club in Akpro-Misserete, Benin(贝宁), the sound of feet hitting the ground and cries of “Hay-Hah!” fill the air. Damien Degbo, 53, teaches his students kung fu and tai chi there. For him, Chinese martial arts are more than just exercise. They’re a way of life and a bridge between Benin and China.

Degbo teaches his students martial arts on May 18th, 2025
At the age of 13, Degbo watched Chinese martial arts films in Benin’s capital. He loved how these actors fought with beauty and power. That’s when his love of kung fu began.
Degbo joined a private kung fu club and later learnt Chinese at a culture centre. In 2010, he started his own club, Super Shaolin of Benin. In 2014, he got a chance to train at China’s Shaolin Temple. The training was hard, but it taught him a lot about Chinese culture. He learnt how to practise calligraphy, tea preparation and traditional Chinese medicine.
Now, Degbo’s club has more than 350 students. He teaches not only Chinese martial arts but also Chinese culture. Cherif Deen, a student of the kung fu master, says kung fu has changed his life, helping him become stronger and more self-controlled.
Degbo thinks of himself as someone who spreads Chinese culture. He wants to share with young people Chinese good qualities like self-control and respect. As China and Benin get closer, more and more people like Degbo will help build a stronger friendship between the two countries through kung fu.

答案： 24 A 细节理解。根据第一段中“Damien Degbo，53，teaches his students kung fu and tai chi there.”可知，德格博是一位老师。
25 C 细节排序。根据第二段中“At the age of13，Degbo watched Chinese martial arts films in Benin’s capital.”、第三段中“In2010，he started his own club，Super Shaolin of Benin. In2014，he got a chance to train at China’s Shaolin Temple.”和第四段中“Now，Degbo’s club has more than350名 students.”可知，德格博先是因中国武术电影对中国武术产生了兴趣，之后建立了贝宁超级少林俱乐部，接着又去中国少林寺学习，最后他的俱乐部拥有了350多名学生。因此事件发生顺序为④①③②。
26 D 推理判断。根据倒数第二段中“Cherif Deen，a student of the kung fu master，says kung fu has changed his life，helping him become stronger and more self-controlled.”可知，此处举例是为了通过学员的正面反馈来说明练习功夫可以改善人们的生活。
27 A 标题归纳。通读全文可知，全文围绕德格博展开，从其少年爱功夫、创立俱乐部、赴少林寺学习，到如今教授武术、传播中国文化，因此A项“贝宁的一位功夫大师”最适合做文章的标题。
