Li Bai and his romantic poetry
A hundred feet the temple towers;
I can reach out for① the stars in the sky.
But I dare② not speak in a voice loud,
For fear of③ scaring dwellers④ on high.
(“A Night Stay at a Mountain Temple”)
It is believed that this poem was written by Li Bai in his teenage years.【1】 With striking⑤ imagination in expressions like “scaring dwellers on high”,this early poem already displayed signs of a romantic style,which was later to characterize⑥ Li Bai’s poetry 【2】.
【1】it作形式主语,that引导主语从句。
【2】which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词romantic style。
Li Bai’s love of reading and travelling from an early age contributed to⑦ his romantic style.He started studying the classics when he was only five years old,and was reading ancient philosophers of different schools at the age of ten,including Confucianism⑧ and Taoism⑨.By reading books of all kinds,from legends⑩ to historical stories,he familiarized⑪ himself with classical Chinese culture,and more importantly,he acquired the wisdom of previous generations.
Driven by a burning desire for adventure and travel 【3】,Li Bai left home and started to travel around in his early twenties.His footsteps covered almost the whole country.During his travels,he visited famous mountains and great rivers,encountering⑫ different customs and practices【4】.These travelling experiences also nourished⑬ his love of nature and inspired him to write numerous⑭ poems in the romantic style.
Li Bai’s romantic style was also deeply rooted in⑮ the social and historical context in which he lived【5】.Li Bai grew up in the most glorious⑯ period of the Tang Dynasty,a time of economic boom⑰ and social stability⑱.This open and tolerant⑲ atmosphere allowed Li Bai the liberty⑳ to develop a free and unconstrained personality,which,in turn,had a huge impact on his poetic production 【6】.
【5】in which引导定语从句,修饰先行词context。
【6】which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词personality。
Given his personal experiences and the historical background,it is only natural to see that the majority of Li Bai’s poems are characterized by the romantic style【7】.Even the most uninformed reader would not fail to be impressed by the poet’s rich imagination.The moon and stars in the sky,the natural landscape and the figures in legends all become a vehicle for his imagination.Equally impressive is Li Bai’s free expression of strong feelings【8】,which breathes vitality into the lifeless objects he describes,and which distinguishes him from other landscape poets【9】.These features are inseparable from Li Bai’s wide use of exaggeration,metaphor and other artistic techniques.The poem below,written in his fifties【10】,is representative of his romantic style:
【7】it作形式主语,动词不定式短语to see...作真正的主语,that引导宾语从句。
【8】划线句为完全倒装句。
【9】and连接两个which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Li Bai’s free expression of strong feelings。

My silver hair is three thousand feet long,
Because my sorrow is deep and strong.
How can the autumn frost white
Be cast into the mirror bright?
(“Autumn Frost”)
With his extraordinary imagination,free expression of strong feelings and mastery of language,Li Bai is widely recognized as the greatest romantic poet after Qu Yuan.Generations of poets,both in China and abroad,owe a debt to his inspirational poems.One such poet is Ezra Pound,a 20thcentury American poet.He was fascinated by Li Bai’s poems and translated some of them in his 1915 poetry collection entitled Cathay【11】.Today Li Bai’s poetry continues to be enjoyed by countless readers around the world.

李白及其浪漫主义诗歌
危楼高百丈,
手可摘星辰。
不敢高声语,
恐惊天上人。
(《夜宿山寺》)
相传此诗为李白少年时所作。在这首早期作品中,“恐惊天上人”等诗句想象奇绝,已经展现出一种浪漫主义风格,这一风格后来成为李白诗歌的特色。
李白的浪漫主义风格与其自幼喜读书、好游历不无关联。他五岁就诵读经典,十岁读儒道等诸子百家的著作。他博览群书,从传奇故事到历史典故无所不窥,从而对古代经典文化谙熟于心,更重要的是,他从中汲取了先贤们的智慧。
在强烈的探索欲和游历欲的驱使下,他二十几岁便离家周游,足迹几乎遍及海内。他一路寻访名山大川,见识各地文化风俗。这些旅途见闻培养了他对自然的热爱,也让他诗兴大发,写下了无数浪漫主义的作品。
李白的浪漫主义风格亦深植于他所处的社会历史环境中。他长于经济繁荣、国家安定的盛唐。这种开放而包容的氛围,使李白得以率性放达,养成了自由不羁的性格,进而极大地影响了他的诗歌创作。
有如此的个人阅历和历史背景,李白多数作品皆富有浪漫主义色彩就不足为奇了。哪怕再没有文化的读者,也会为诗人丰富的想象力所折服。天上星月、自然景观、传奇人物,他都可借以发挥想象力。同样令人叹服的是李白对强烈情感的恣意抒发,笔下万物都被赋予灵性,这也让他与其他的山水诗人迥然有别。这些特征也离不开他对夸张、比喻等艺术手法的广泛运用。下面这首诗是他五十多岁时所作,是其浪漫主义风格的集中体现:
白发三千丈,
缘愁似个长。
不知明镜里,
何处得秋霜?
(《秋浦歌》)
超尘脱俗的想象,强烈情感的自由抒发,以及对语言的精通,使李白被公认为是继屈原之后最伟大的浪漫主义诗人。他的诗篇滋养着中国乃至海外一代又一代诗人。其中一位便是20世纪美国诗人Ezra Pound。他倾慕李白的诗,选择了多首收入他1915年出版的诗歌集《华夏集》中。时至今日,李白的诗歌仍然为世界各地无数读者所喜爱。

[素能提升]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
He was a poet known for the nostalgia(怀旧)he describes in his poems.Now,it’s time for us to express our nostalgia for this great writer.
On Dec. 14,2017,the famous Chinese poet Yu Guangzhong passed away in Taiwan.Born in 1928 in Nanjing,Jiangsu,Yu studied in Sichuan when he was young.At that time,he had showed great interest in Chinese poems and spent a lot of his free time trying writing poems himself.Then he managed to publish his first poem at the age of 20.A year later,Yu and his family moved to Taiwan.He lived and worked there until his death.
Nostalgia is Yu’s masterpiece in which he expresses his homesickness for the Chinese mainland when he was in Taiwan.
Published in 1971,the poem remains highly popular among Chinese speakers worldwide.Even those who know little about literature are familiar with lines from the poem.The poem is included in Chinese high school textbooks.
Besides his achievements in poetry,Yu was also a successful essay writer,critic and translator.He once translated English poet Siegfried Sassoon’s poem In Me,Past,Present,Future Meet into Chinese.It is regarded as an accurate and powerful translation,in which the most famous line is “心有猛虎,细嗅蔷薇” for “In me the tiger sniffs the rose”.
Yu spent his whole life writing.“The reason why I stick to writing till today comes down to my passion for the Chinese language,” he once said in a 2015 interview.He then added that this passion was strengthened by his love for his mother and his motherland.
Now,let’s appreciate the poem Nostalgia.
When I was young,
Nostalgia was a tiny,tiny stamp,
Me on this side,
Mother on the other side.
When I grew up,
Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket,
Me on this side,
Bride on the other side.
But later on,
Nostalgia was a lowly grave,
Me on the outside,
Mother on the inside.
And at present,
Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait,
Me on this side,
Mainland on the other side.

Eat less meat and dairy.Meat and dairy need a lot of energy to produce.We can protect the environment more if we eat vegetables.If you really can’t stop eating meat,then try to eat meat at most once a week.
Don’t drink coffee from Kcups.Kcups are usually thrown away once you use them for just one time.It greatly harms the environment.If you really love drinking coffee,prepare a cup for it.
Buy local food.Food from somewhere far away needs a lot of energy to be transported.It harms the environment as the food is usually taken to you by trucks,ships or planes.You can visit farmers’ markets to find local vegetables and fruits.
Don’t waste food.Plan your meals so that you don’t cook more than you will eat.Store what you haven’t finished and use them up at your next meal.

Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone,news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey(哈维飓风)on thousands of people caught my eye.I saw many unfortunate events.However,there was also lots of bright news that showed the goodness of mankind.As a reporter,I reported many humaninterest stories when doing my job.That’s why the story about the guys in the bakery(面包店)caught my eye.
When the workers at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days,they didn’t sit there feeling sorry for themselves.They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey.While waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning,the four workers decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for people around the neighborhood.They talked to their manager about their plan over the phone and the manager agreed.
The flood water rose in the street outside.They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread.They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour(面粉)to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread.Although the water kept rising,they continued baking to help more people.By the time the manager managed to get to them,they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to lots of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.
The store manager,Brian Alvarado,told The Independent,“They’ve done more than they should have done.And what they had done has lit a light for people.I feel lucky to have them work in the bakery.”
Whenever a disaster occurs,nobody should feel forlorn.Instead,we should stay hopeful and take positive action to save ourselves and help others.Our acts of kindness will make a big difference to the people in the world as well as the world itself.

(2021·辽宁省大连市高一下学期期中)
There are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flag.So what’s wrong with purple? It’s such a popular color today.Why would no country use it in their flag? The answer is really quite simple.Purple was just for too expensive.
The color purple has been associated with royalty power and wealth for centuries.Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ forbade anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it.Purple’s high status comes from the rarity and cost of the dye(染料)originally used to produce it.Fabric traders got the dye from a small sea snail (海螺)that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean.More than 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of purple; not to mention a lot of work went into producing the dye,which made purple dye so expensive.
Since only wealthy rulers could afford to buy and wear the color,it became associated with the royal family.Sometimes,however,the dye was too expensive even for royalty.Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldn’t allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold.A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold,which equals 56,000 dollars today.Therefore,even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.
The dye became more accessible to lowerclass about a century and a half ago.In 1856,18yearold English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a manmade purple compound(化合物)while attempting to produce an antimalaria drug.He noticed that the compound could be used to dye fabrics,so he patented the dye,manufactured it and got rich.Purple dye was then massproduced so everybody could afford it.
Till now,a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple in their flag.So don’t be making any bets just yet.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几乎没有哪个国家的国旗上有紫色是因为紫色价格昂贵。但在科学家的努力下,终于使紫色变得普通化和大众化。
28.Why was color purple expensive in the past?
A.Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.
B.Because it took a long time to get purple dye from gold.
C.Because purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.
D.Because purple dye used to be rare and hard to produce.
D [细节理解题。根据第二段中“More than 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of purple; not to mention a lot of work went into producing the dye,which made purple dye so expensive.”可知,过去紫色很贵是因为紫色染料过去很稀有,很难生产,故选D项。]
29.Why did Roman Emperor Aurelio forbid his wife to buy a purple scarf?
A.Because of poor quality.
B.Because of long tradition.
C.Because of bad taste.
D.Because of high price.
D [细节理解题。根据第三段中“Third century Roman ...because it cost three times its weight in gold.A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold,which equals 56,000 dollars today.”可知,罗马皇帝Aurelio禁止他的妻子买紫色围巾是因为其昂贵的价格,故选D项。]
30.What is purple’s situation now?
A.Purple has been widely used on national flags.
B.Purple dye is now affordable to ordinary people.
C.Royal family stop using purple because it’s too common.
D.Fewer snails are used to produce purple dye than before.
B [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Purple dye was then massproduced so everybody could afford it.”可知,现在普通人也能买得起紫色染料了,故选B项。]
31.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.No Purple Flags?
B.Purple vs Gold
C.How to Produce Purple Dye?
D.The Birth of Purple Color
A [标题归纳题。根据第一段中“There are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flag...The answer is really quite simple.Purple was just for too expensive.”可知,本文开篇介绍195个国家几乎很少国旗上有紫色,引出紫色价格昂贵的问题,然后分析紫色的发展。A项(没有紫色的国旗?)既概括文章主题又用反问句吸引读者,最适合作文章标题。]

(2021·山东省德州市高一下学期期末)
Contrary to the longheld belief that plants in the natural world are always in competition,new research has found that in severe environments adult plants help smaller ones and grow well as a result.
The research,led by Dr Rocio,studied adult and seedling(幼苗)plants in the ecological desert in the southeast of Spain.Dr Rocio said,“If you’re a seedling in a poor land — the top of a mountain or a sand hill,for example—and you’re lucky enough to end up underneath a big plant,your chances of survival are certainly better than if you landed somewhere on your own.What we have found,which was surprising,is an established large plant,called a ‘nurse’,protects a seedling; it also produces more flowers than the same plants of similar large size growing on their own.”
Other benefits of nurseseedling partnerships include that more variety of plants growing together can have a positive effect on the environment.For example,vegetation areas with nurse plants with more flowers might be able to attract higher numbers of pollinators(传粉者)in an area,in turn supporting insect and soil life and even provide a greater range of different fruit types for birds and other animals.
“The biggest winner for this system of nursing a plant is biodiversity(生物多样性),” Dr Rocio said.“The more biodiverse an area,the greater number of species of plants,insect life,mammals and birds,and the better the chances of longterm healthy functioning of the environment and ecosystems.” This system is winwin for adult and seedling plants in unfavorable environments.
The research is of value to those who manage and protect plants in tough environments.Most home gardeners and farmers plan to ensure their soil and conditions are the best they can be for plant growth,but the findings might be of value to those who garden in bare places.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新的研究发现,在恶劣的环境中,成年植物会帮助较小的植物并因此生长良好。
32.What is a common understanding of plants?
A.They can help each other.
B.They can survive ill conditions.

Benefits of Exercising Outdoors
Compared with traditional indoor workouts,outdoor exercise—sometimes called green exercise—provides more benefits.Here are several benefits of doing your workouts outdoors.
36 The first,and perhaps most important benefit,is that being in nature increases feelings of wellbeing and life satisfaction.In fact,simply being outside and breathing fresh air can make you lighthearted.Research shows that being in nature,also called forest bathing,reduces stress and increases relaxation,and you’ll see greater levels of joy in your life.
It’s free.There are many benefits of working with an exercise professional in a gym or fitness facility,but doing outdoor exercise is a great way to save money. 37 For example,you can choose some common activities such as biking jogging,hiking or playing tennis.
It’s social and increases responsibility. 38 You can also go out with your partner or children at the park for some family fun.If so,you’ve added two main parts to your exercise program: social support and responsibility. 39
It doesn’t take a lot of time to see the benefits.It’s important to note that the benefits of outdoor exercise start at 120 minutes per week. 40 You can have a 25minute walk every workday or a twohour hike on weekends.More time spent exercising outside beyond those 120 minutes will have more benefits,but that’s a great goal for most people.
A.It makes you relaxed and happy.
B.It’s risky but thrilling to get close to nature.
C.You can get support from your family and friends.
D.Both of these are important to a longterm participation.
E.You can do different outdoor workouts without paying a penny.
F.But you don’t have to ride up and down hills at top speed to see results.
G.You can join an outdoor sports club and make new friends every Saturday.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2022·江苏省苏州市高二上学期期末)
It was Christmas 1961.I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my twentyseven third graders eagerly looked forward to the great day of gifts giving.
Each day the children produced some new wonder—strings of popcorn,handmade decorations,and German bells made from wallpaper samples,which we hung from the ceiling.
Through it all she remained distant,watching from a far,seemingly miles away.I wondered what would happen to this quiet child,once so happy,now so suddenly withdrawn.I hoped the celebrations would appeal to her.But nothing did.
We made cards and gifts for mothers and dads,for sisters and brothers,for grandparents,and for each other.At home the students made the popular fried marbles(炸玻璃弹珠)and competed with one another to bring in the prettiest ones.“You put them in a hot frying pan,Teacher.And you let them get real hot,and then you watch what happens inside.But you don’t fry them too long or they break.” So,as my gift to them,I made each of my students little bags for carrying their fried marbles.
And I knew they had each made something for me: bookmarks carefully cut,colored,and sometimes glued together; cards and special drawings; liquid embroidery doilies(桌垫),to name but a few.
The day of giftgiving finally came.We were amazed at our handwork as the presents were exchanged.Through it all,she sat quietly watching.I had made a special bag for her,red and green with white lace.I wanted very much to see her smile.She opened the package so slowly and carefully.I waited but she turned away.I thought I had failed to break the wall she had built around herself.
After school,the children left in little groups,talking about the great day yet to come when longhopedfor gifts would appear beside their trees at home.
She stayed,watching all of the other students get dressed and go out of the door.I sat down in a childsized chair to take a rest,hardly aware of what was to happen.
注意:1.续写词数应为150 左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
She came to me with outstretched hands,bearing a small white box.
Paragraph 2:
In a flash I knew—she had made the fried marble chain for her mother,who had passed away three weeks before.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
She came to me with outstretched hands,bearing a small white box.The little box was unwrapped and slightly soiled,as though it had been held many times by unwashed,childish hands.She said nothing.“For me?” I asked with a weak smile,suddenly feeling very insecure for my thirtyold years.She said not a word,but nodded her head.I took the box and gingerly opened it.There inside,glistening green,a fried marble hung from a golden chain.
Paragraph 2:
In a flash I knew—she had made the fried marble chain for her mother,who had passed away three weeks before.I held out the chain.She took it in both her hands,reached forward,and secured the simple clasp at the back of my neck.She stepped back then as if to see that all was well.I looked down at the shiny piece of glass and the tarnished golden chain,then back at the giver.I meant it when I whispered,“Oh,Maria,it is so beautiful.She would have loved it.” Neither of us could stop the tears.She stumbled into my arms and we wept together.And for that brief moment I became her mother,for she had given me the greatest gift of all: herself.
