With wind it steals in night; Mute (沉默的), it wets everything. Over wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms (显现). Dawn sees saturated (饱和的) reds; The town’s heavy with blooms. —Du Fu —Translated by Xu Yuanchong This famous poem, with four couplets, was written by Du Fu (712-770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature. The very first word, “Good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人化), as if the rain is smart enough to come in time for the farmer’s busy season. When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known. In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier (更热闹). Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom (盛开) after the rain. 19 What’s the Chinese title of the poem Happy Rain on a Spring Night? A. 《春望》 B. 《春夜喜雨》 C. 《夜雨寄北》 D. 《临安春雨初霁》 20. Which word can be used to describe the rain in this poem? A. Busy. B. Dark. C. Quiet. D. Quick. 21. How does the poet show the effect of the rain in the last couplet? A. By comparing flowers before and after the rain. B. By describing the sound of raindrops on flowers. C. By painting a colorful morning scene after the rain. D. By explaining why rain makes flowers grow. 22. What does Du Fu want to show in this poem? A. He’s thankful to nature. B. He loves and enjoys farming. C. He expects the flowers to bloom. D. He is used to living in Chengdu with others. D World Reading Day is held on April 23rd every year. On this day, we are encouraged to read more books. Reading is like opening a window to different worlds. Around 130 million books have been come out in the human history. A reader will read at most 6,000 books in his life. Most of them won’t be so much fun or very unforgettable. Books are like people. We meet many but only a few touch our hearts. Perhaps we will only remember about 30 books. They will be different for each of us, but they affect (影响) us in similar ways. Books make us show our feelings better. When we see a bird flying in the sky, we have a beautiful feeling, but we may find it hard for us to use words to show our feeling and finally we just say, “That’s so nice.” However, a good writer can describe it wonderfully. He shows us the angle (角度) of the wing, the slow movement of the largest branch (树枝) of a tree and the angle of the mouth in a smile. Great writers build bridges for us in order to communicate with each other. They describe the similar experiences of us, and show us what we can share with each other and how we can help each other. They also help us to feel. By reading a book, we meet someone. Perhaps she is very beautiful, young, smart but dying, and we feel sad about her hurt and the unfairness of the world. Or perhaps she is poor, weak but hard-working, and we find the courage (勇气) to face the difficulties in life through her story. 23. How does the writer begin the text? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By telling a story. 24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The bird. B. The feeling. C. The sky. D. The book. 25 Which is TRUE according to this text? A. A person should read as many books as possible. B. A person should read at least 30 books in his life. C. A person can read many books and remember all of them. D. A person may read lots of books but he only remembers some of them. 26. Which of the followings is the best title? A. World Reading Day: April 23rd B. Books Are Like People C. Books Build Bridges D. Books Can Change Your Life 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下面的五个选项中选择四个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Once upon a time, a hippo (河马), lived in a river next to a big tree.
