People are looking for technology to help save the bees. One example is the robotic bee project called Robo Royale, said Horizon magazine. The European Commission gives money to it.

He started to write poems from the age of seven and was very talented in this field. At that time, before writing a poem, most other poets would first decide on a topic for it. Li, however, was different from them. Every morning, Li carried a bag and rode around on his horse. When he came across something that inspired him, he would immediately write down on paper and put it in the bag. When he returned home in the evening, he would sort out the writing and perfect them. The poet went out almost every day in order to write his poems. His mother was very anxious because Li had been in poor health since he was a child. “You shouldn’t spend all your energy in writing poems,” she said to her son, “Must you exhaust (使精疲力竭) yourself to the end of your life?” Li, however, did not listen to his mother’s advice and continued writing poems. Sadly, his health got worse and in the end, the poet died at the age of 27. In his short life, he left behind many great poems. All of them were created with his life’s energy. 9. What made Li He different from most other poets? A. He always rode a horse. B. He never took others’ advice. C. He perfected his writing again and again. D. He did not decide on the topic of the poem before writing. 10. Which is TRUE about Li He according to the text? A. He didn’t love his mother. B. He spent all his time drawing pictures. C. He was the greatest poet in Tang Dynasty. D. He began to write poems when he was young. 11. What do we know from the fourth paragraph? A. Li He was very healthy. B. Li He always quarreled with his mother. C. Li He’s mother was worried about his health. D. Li He’s mother wanted him to put all his effort to write poems. 12. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Li He and his mother. B. Li He’s love for poems. C. Great poets in Tang Dynasty. D. Poems from Tang Dynasty. 【答案】9. D 10. D 11. C 12. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了李贺对诗歌的热爱。他从小就开始写诗，但由于身体状况欠佳，再加上过分专注写诗，27岁时就不幸离世，但他留下了许多伟大的诗篇。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At that time, before writing a poem, most other poets would first decide on a topic for it. Li, however, was different from them.”可知，在写一首诗之前，大多数其他诗人会先为它确定一个主题。然而，李贺却与他们不同。所以D选项“他在写诗前没有决定这首诗的主题”是使他不同于大多数其他诗人的地方。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous poet named Li He. He started to write poems from the age of seven and was very talented in this field.”可知，李贺是唐朝一位著名的诗人，他从七岁开始写诗，而且在这方面很有天赋。所以D选项“他年幼时就开始写诗”是关于李贺的正确的选项。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据“His mother was very anxious because Li had been in poor health since he was a child.”可知，他的妈妈很是焦虑，因为李贺从小身体就不好。所以C选项“李贺的母亲担心他的健康。”是我们从第四段知道的。故选C。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous poet named Li He. He started to write poems from the age of seven and was very talented in this field.”和最后一段“Li, however, did not listen to his mother’s advice and continued writing poems. Sadly, his health got worse and in the end, the poet died at the age of 27. In his short life, he left behind many great poems. All of them were created with his life’s energy.”可知，文章主要讲述的是李贺对写诗的热爱。所以B选项“李贺对诗的爱”是这篇文章主要谈论的内容。故选B。 D Once upon a time, there was a wise old man who had seven sons. But his sons were always fighting.
