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. 【答案】19. B 20. C 21. C 22. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一首杜甫的诗歌《春夜喜雨》及其英文翻译与赏析，主要描写了诗人对春雨的喜爱和感激之情，展现了春雨润物无声的特点和雨后花开的美丽景象。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据诗歌标题“Happy Rain on a Spring Night”可知是《春夜喜雨》。故选B。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.”及“When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise.”可知，与夏季的暴风雨不同，春雨在不知不觉中完成了它的任务。当雨来临时，它在夜间出现，不发出任何声音。由此可知，春雨的特点是“安静无声的”。故选C。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据古诗最后一联“Dawn sees saturated (饱和的) reds; The town’s heavy with blooms.”和“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.”可知，诗人通过描绘雨后花开的美景展现春雨的效果。故选C。 【22题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature”及“The very first word, ‘Good’, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain.”可知，杜甫通过诗歌表达了对自然的感恩。故选A。 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 【答案】23. A 24. B 25. D 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了阅读的重要性以及书籍如何影响我们的生活，文章提到世界读书日、阅读的意义、书籍对情感表达的作用以及伟大作家如何帮助我们沟通和感受。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据“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.”可知，作者通过列举数字引入话题。故选A。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“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.”可知，当我们看到一只鸟在天空飞翔时，会有一种美好的感觉，但可能难以用语言表达，最后只说“真美”，然而，优秀的作家能精彩地描述“它”，所以划线部分指代的是“feeling”。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A reader will read at most 6,000 books in his life.”以及“Perhaps we will only remember about 30 books.”可知，人们会读很多书，但只记住其中一部分。故选D。 【26题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了阅读的重要性以及书籍如何影响我们的生活，D项符合。故选D。 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. One day, a bird came and nested (筑巢) in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (羡慕) that he couldn’t think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer. ____27____ He decided that he would come out of the river, climb the tree and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings (翅膀), nor claws (爪子) to climb with.

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.
