There are some Chinese poems that offer clues about Chinese festivals through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of them. Mourning Day Drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day, The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way. Where can a wine shop be found to drown his sad hours? A cowherd (牧童) points to a cot’ mid apricot flowers (杏花). (Translated by Xu Yuanchong Chinese translator) In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks add a sad mood (情绪) to this poem. The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine and get rid of the sad mood. In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction, which vividly describes two people looking far ahead on the rainy day. In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around. He doesn’t describe its details on a rainy day but leaves room for the readers to imagine. Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside. 24. Qingming Festival is in ________. A. spring B. summer C. autumn 25.

You might think, “I’ll use a map on my phone!” But do you know what makes the map work? It’s all thanks to the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (北斗导航卫星系统). It’s a Chinese system that helps people find their way. The BeiDou system started in 1994. Its first two parts, BDS-1 and BDS-2, were finished in 2000 and 2012. When BDS-3 was completed on July 31, 2020, China became the third country in the world to have its own global navigation satellite system.

The plan is: · To send up three test satellites around 2027 · To start building the network by 2029 · To finish the new system by 2035 It will help people find their location very correctly anywhere in the world.

Maybe it sounds strange, but the movement of your mouth can keep some parts of your brain active and stop them from losing focus. ____35____ Sometimes, it reminds us of dangers or changes around us. So, learn to control your focus, and don’t be too hard on yourself when you are not focusing. With these methods, you’ll get better at staying focused! A.

It’s not easy to stay focused. But don’t worry. ____32____ Scientists have found that avoiding noisy things is really important. ____33____ When you study or work, turn off the TV, apps, and make your phone silent. That way, you won’t be influenced by all those notifications (通知) and rings. Brain training also helps. If you do tasks that need you to use your eyes a lot, like doing careful drawings or working on difficult math problems, your brain will be so busy that it won’t have time to think about other things. ____34____ Some simple suggestions work well too. Make a list of all the tasks you need to get done. As you complete each one, carefully cross it off the list. Find a quiet corner just for working or studying, not for playing games or chatting. Oh, and try chewing gum (口香糖)! Maybe it sounds strange, but the movement of your mouth can keep some parts of your brain active and stop them from losing focus. ____35____ Sometimes, it reminds us of dangers or changes around us. So, learn to control your focus, and don’t be too hard on yourself when you are not focusing. With these methods, you’ll get better at staying focused! A. But remember, not paying full attention isn’t all bad. B. So, give your brain good “exercise” often. C. Here are some ways to help. D. Silence is the best friend of focus. E. What makes us daydream a lot? 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何集中注意力。 【32题详解】 根据“It’s not easy to stay focused.
