They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are nothing special. But Liu Chi Xiang (Six - chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most famous one. 2 Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, the Zhangs and the Wus, argued over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn't reach an agreement. The Zhang family was angry. Their relative, Zhang Ying, had a position high up in the government. They wrote him a letter, asking for advice. When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside： A letter from far away just for a wall Is not right or good at all. Three chi to your neighbour as a gift Is nothing as time continues to drift. 3 After reading it, the Zhang family felt ashamed. They stepped back three chi for their neighbour. This act deeply moved the Wu family. In return, they decided to do the same thing. They gave up another three chi. And so came the six - chi - wide lane between the two houses. 4 Hundreds of years have passed since then, and the lane is still there. The people of Tongcheng still keep the poem in mind. Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness. 1. What is special about Liu Chi Xiang?（ ） A. It is the narrowest lane in China. B. It has a famous story behind it. C. It is the widest lane in Anhui. D. It is in a very modern city. 1. What was the argument between the Zhangs and the Wus about?（ ） A. The height of their houses. B. The ownership of a wall. C. The dividing line between their houses. D. The design of their houses. 1. What did Zhang Ying do after receiving the letter?（ ） A. He gave some money to solve the problem. B. He came back home to deal with it in person. C. He wrote a poem to reply. D. He asked the government to help. 1. Why did the Zhang family feel ashamed?（ ） A. Because they found their request was not reasonable. B. Because they were not as rich as the Wu family. C. Because they realized they were not friendly enough. D. Because they couldn't win the argument. 1. What can we learn from the story?（ ） A. We should always try to get more land. B. We should use our power to solve problems. C. Kindness can lead to more kindness. D. Poems can help us solve all problems. 答案及解析 1. B解析：根据第一段“Most of them are nothing special. But Liu Chi Xiang (Six - chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most famous one.”以及后文讲述它背后的故事可知，六尺巷的特别之处在于它背后有一个著名的故事，B选项正确。A选项文中未提及它是中国最窄的巷子；C选项未表明它是安徽最宽的巷子；D选项它所在的桐城并非强调是现代城市，所以选B。 2. C解析：由第二段“Two local families, the Zhangs and the Wus, argued over the dividing line between their houses.”可知，两家人争论的是房子之间的分界线，C选项正确。A选项房子高度、B选项一堵墙的所有权、D选项房子的设计，均不符合文意，所以选C。 3. C解析：从第二段“When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside.”可知，张英收到信后写了一首诗作为回复，C选项正确。A选项文中未提及给钱；B选项他没有亲自回家处理；D选项也未提到让政府帮忙，所以选C。 4. A解析：张英的诗表明为一堵墙从远方寄信不太合适，让张家给邻居三尺作为礼物，张家读完诗后感到羞愧，说明他们意识到自己的要求不合理，A选项正确。B选项文中未提及和吴家财富比较；C选项不是因为不友好而羞愧；D选项不是因为没赢得争论而羞愧，所以选A。 5. C解析：文章最后一段“Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness.”点明主题，从这个故事我们可以学到善良能引发更多的善良，C选项正确。A选项与故事倡导的分享、善良相悖；B选项利用权力解决问题不符合故事主旨；D选项诗只是起到启发作用，不能解决所有问题，所以选C。 2、 完形填空。 Narrow lanes are very common in China.

They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are 1.____ (anything) special. But Liu Chi Xiang (Six - chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the 2.____ (famous) one. Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, the Zhangs and the Wus, 3.____ (argue) over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn't reach 4.____ agreement. The Zhang family was angry. Their relative, Zhang Ying, had a position high up in the government. They wrote him a letter, 5.____ (ask) for advice. When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside. A letter from far away just for a wall Is not right or good at all. Three chi to your neighbour as a gift Is nothing as time continues to drift. After 6.____ (read) it, the Zhang family felt ashamed. They stepped back three chi for their neighbour. This act deeply 7.____ (move) the Wu family. In return, they decided to do the same thing. They gave up another three chi.

Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness. This story 9._________ (become) an important part of local culture. It shows the value of harmony and tolerance宽容, 10.____ is also what we should learn from. 1. nothing：此处表示大多数巷子没什么特别的，用nothing符合语境。 2. most famous：前面有定冠词the，且根据语境是说六尺巷可能是最著名的，用famous的最高级most famous。 3. argued：讲述清朝发生的事，用一般过去时，argue的过去式是argued。 4. an：reach an agreement是固定短语，意为“达成协议”，agreement以元音音素开头，所以用an。 5. asking：这里用现在分词asking作伴随状语，表示他们写信的同时还寻求建议。 6. reading：after是介词，后接动词 - ing形式，所以用reading。 7. moved：描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，move的过去式是moved。 8. have passed：since then是现在完成时的标志，其结构为have/has + 过去分词，主语“Hundreds of years”看作一个整体，助动词用have，pass的过去分词是passed，所以填have passed。 9. has become：强调这个故事到现在已经成为当地文化的重要部分，用现在完成时，主语“This story”是第三人称单数，所以用has become。 10. which：这里是非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子，关系词在从句中作主语，用which引导。 四、词汇翻译填空,注意单词的适当形式填空。 I've been feeling 1.______ (相当) 2.________ (有压力的) 3. _______ (最近) because of a problem in my neighborhood.

One day, he comes back and sees the children in his garden. “What are you doing here?” he shouts in a very angry voice. The children run away.

The birds fly about and sing with joy. “How selfish I've been!” he says. “Now I know why spring wouldn't come here.” He knocks down the wall. The children look afraid. “Fear not, little ones,” the Giant says. “It's 10.____ (you) garden now.” 1. with：表示“具有，带有”，“a large garden with soft, green grass”表示“一个有着柔软绿草的大花园”。 2. stand：此句是倒装句，主语是“beautiful flowers”，复数形式，一般现在时，所以用stand。 3. has been：“for a long time”是现在完成时的标志，主语“The Giant”是第三人称单数，所以用has been，表示巨人已经离开很长时间了。 4. builds：and连接并列谓语，closes是一般现在时第三人称单数形式，所以build也用第三人称单数builds。 5. hasn't seen：“since then”是现在完成时的标志，其否定形式为has/have not + 过去分词，主语he是第三人称单数，所以用hasn't seen。 6. no：根据语境，花园仍是冬天，所以没有鸟和花，no表示“没有”，修饰名词。 7. will change：巨人希望天气很快改变，这是对将来情况的一种期望，用一般将来时will + 动词原形change。 8. singing：hear sb./sth. doing sth. 表示“听到某人/某物正在做某事”，这里指巨人突然听到鸟儿正在唱歌，所以用singing。 9. have covered：强调树已经用花朵覆盖了自己这个结果，用现在完成时，主语they是复数，所以用have covered。 10. your：修饰名词garden，要用形容词性物主代词，you的形容词性物主代词是your，表示“你们的”。 四、词汇翻译填空。 In our neighborhood, there is a 1.____ (大的) open space that kids love to play in.

When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside： A letter from far away just for a wall Is not right or good at all.

This act deeply moved the Wu family. In return, they decided to do the same thing. They gave up another three chi.
