During the Warring States period (战国时期), a rich man in the State of Chu had a party. There wasn’t enough wine for all the guests, so he decided to have a snake drawing competition. The first person to finish drawing a snake on the ground with a stick would get the wine.
One man was the first to finish his drawing. Seeing that others were still busy, he thought he had enough time. So, he started adding feet to his snake. Just then, another man finished his snake drawing. The second man said, “Snakes have no feet. What you drew isn’t a snake, so the wine is mine.” And he drank the wine. The man who added feet to the snake felt very upset.

【答案】范文:
Talk More, Love Always
Communication is the bridge between hearts.
Last year, I had a quarrel with my best friend over a misunderstanding. For days, we avoided each other until I decided to talk openly. Through honest conversation, we realized our mistakes and reconciled.
This experience taught me that love grows when we dare to express our feelings. In daily life, conflicts are inevitable, but communication can turn them into opportunities for deeper connections. A simple “thank you” or “I’m sorry” can warm relationships. Let’s remember: where words flow, love follows.

第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)
根据短文内容,判断正误(正确“T”,错误“F”)。
During the Warring States period (战国时期), a rich man in the State of Chu had a party. There wasn’t enough wine for all the guests, so he decided to have a snake drawing competition. The first person to finish drawing a snake on the ground with a stick would get the wine.
One man was the first to finish his drawing. Seeing that others were still busy, he thought he had enough time. So, he started adding feet to his snake. Just then, another man finished his snake drawing. The second man said, “Snakes have no feet. What you drew isn’t a snake, so the wine is mine.” And he drank the wine. The man who added feet to the snake felt very upset.
This story teaches us that doing unnecessary things can break a good result. The idiom (习语) “Drawing a Snake and Adding Feet” is used to describe actions that are overdone (做得过火) and end up making things worse.
21. The rich man had the snake drawing competition to test the guests’ drawing skills.
22. The first man who finished drawing the snake drank the wine.
23. The second man got the wine because his snake looked more beautiful.
