March 22 is World Water Day. People think water is the source of all life. Water has been part of Chinese culture for thousands of years. It affects not only the start of Chinese civilization but also many smart ideas in Chinese philosophy.
Chinese civilization is one of the ancient river civilizations in the world. It started thousands of years ago along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. So, Chinese culture has been related to water from the very beginning.
But the relationship between people and water has two sides. Water is very important for life and for growing things. But if we can’t manage it well, it can bring big problems. Knowing how powerful water is, Chinese people have always tried to use it in the best way. For example, Yu, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty in stories, controlled floods. He changed and dug the waterways so that the water could flow into the sea easily. The Dujiangyan irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan was built cleverly. It made full use of the natural features of the place without hurting the environment.
Water also has philosophical meanings in China. These meanings are used to teach people and help rule the country. According to Xunzi (《荀子》), Confucius often thought about water. He believed water had good qualities like fairness and courage. He once said, “Wise people like water; kind people like mountains (智者乐水,仁者乐山)..” So, Confucianism tells people to learn from water and develop their sense of right and wrong. Inspired by water, Laozi came up with the ideas of “using softness to beat hardness (以柔克刚)” and “doing nothing against nature”. These ideas later kept inspiring rulers to follow the laws of nature and respect what people want. Ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi compared a ruler and his people to a boat and water. He said, “Water can carry a boat, but it can also turn the boat over.”
Water is everywhere in our daily life. It is a very important part of Chinese culture. It helps build Chinese civilization.
42.What can we know from the idea of “using softness to beat hardness”?
A.Water is weak and useless.
B.Strength should be used against nature.
C.Hardness is better than softness.
D.Gentleness can be powerful in certain situations.
43.Why is water considered important in shaping Chinese civilization?
A.It is vital for the agricultural sector.
B.It served as inspiration for art and literature.
C.It influenced both the origin of the civilization and wisdom in philosophy.
D.It played a role in China’s technological advancements.
44.What is the author’s attitude towards ancient Chinese water management?
A.Critical. B.Praising. C.Doubtful. D.Uninterested.
45.What is the main idea of the article?
A.How to celebrate World Water Day in China.
B.The history of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers.
C.The role of water in Chinese civilization and philosophy.
D.Water management in China has evolved significantly since ancient times.
【答案】42.D 43.C 44.B 45.C
【导语】本文讲述了水在中国文明发展和哲学中占据核心地位,影响了文明的起源和众多智慧思想。自古以来,中国人就学会利用水资源,并从水中汲取道德和哲学的启示。

44.观点态度题。根据“The Dujiangyan irrigation system in Sichuan was built cleverly. It made full use of the natural features of the place without hurting the environment”等对古代水利工程的描述可知作者持赞赏态度,故选B。
45.主旨大意题。根据全文多次强调“water in Chinese civilization and philosophy”可知,文章核心是水在中国文明和哲学中的作用,故选C。

March 22 is World Water Day. People think water is the source of all life. Water has been part of Chinese culture for thousands of years. It affects not only the start of Chinese civilization but also many smart ideas in Chinese philosophy.
Chinese civilization is one of the ancient river civilizations in the world. It started thousands of years ago along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. So, Chinese culture has been related to water from the very beginning.
But the relationship between people and water has two sides. Water is very important for life and for growing things. But if we can’t manage it well, it can bring big problems. Knowing how powerful water is, Chinese people have always tried to use it in the best way. For example, Yu, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty in stories, controlled floods. He changed and dug the waterways so that the water could flow into the sea easily. The Dujiangyan irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan was built cleverly. It made full use of the natural features of the place without hurting the environment.
Water also has philosophical meanings in China. These meanings are used to teach people and help rule the country. According to Xunzi (《荀子》), Confucius often thought about water. He believed water had good qualities like fairness and courage. He once said, “Wise people like water; kind people like mountains (智者乐水,仁者乐山)..” So, Confucianism tells people to learn from water and develop their sense of right and wrong. Inspired by water, Laozi came up with the ideas of “using softness to beat hardness (以柔克刚)” and “doing nothing against nature”. These ideas later kept inspiring rulers to follow the laws of nature and respect what people want. Ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi compared a ruler and his people to a boat and water. He said, “Water can carry a boat, but it can also turn the boat over.”
Water is everywhere in our daily life. It is a very important part of Chinese culture. It helps build Chinese civilization.
42.What can we know from the idea of “using softness to beat hardness”?
A.Water is weak and useless.
B.Strength should be used against nature.
C.Hardness is better than softness.
D.Gentleness can be powerful in certain situations.
43.Why is water considered important in shaping Chinese civilization?
A.It is vital for the agricultural sector.
B.It served as inspiration for art and literature.
C.It influenced both the origin of the civilization and wisdom in philosophy.
D.It played a role in China’s technological advancements.
44.What is the author’s attitude towards ancient Chinese water management?
A.Critical. B.Praising. C.Doubtful. D.Uninterested.
45.What is the main idea of the article?
A.How to celebrate World Water Day in China.
B.The history of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers.
C.The role of water in Chinese civilization and philosophy.
D.Water management in China has evolved significantly since ancient times.

The Fisherman climbs down the mountain. The Fisherman’s Soul calls to him, “Don’t send me away. Please, don’t send me away.”
“You are not important to me.” says the Fisherman. “Go away. Go where you want. My love is calling me.”
The Fisherman arrives at the seashore. He stands with his back to the moon. He looks at the sea. White arms are calling him. His shadow lies before him. His shadow is the body of his soul.
The Soul speaks again, “Send me away with your heart.”
“How can I love my Mermaid with no heart?” replies the Fisherman.
“Be kind,” says the Soul. “Give me your heart.”
“My heart is for my Mermaid. Go!”
“Can I not also love?” the Soul tries again.
“Go! You are not important to me,” cries the Fisherman. He takes the little knife and he cuts his shadow away from his feet.
The shadow rises and stands before him. The shadow is the same size as the Fisherman.
“Go!” says the Fisherman. “I don’t’ want to see you again.”
“No,” replies the Soul. “I want to meet you again.”
“How?” asks the Fisherman. “You cannot follow me under the sea.”
“Every year I can come back to this place,” says the Soul. “I can call you and you can come.”
“OK,” replies the Fisherman. “I can come.”
The Fisherman jumps into the water. The Tritons blow their horns and the little Mermaid comes to meet him. She kisses him. They go down under the water.
The Soul watches on the beach. He is all alone.
