Tanzi was a viscount in the State of Tan during theSpring and Autumn Period. His aged parents suffered from eye diseases and needed to drink deer's milk as part of their treatment.

本文选取“二十四孝”故事中的四则,包括亲尝汤药、鹿乳奉亲、扇枕温衾和卧冰求鲤。这四则故事的主人公分别是西汉的刘恒、春秋的郯子、东汉的黄香和西晋的王祥,他们堪称孝道典范。
1. B 细节理解题。根据第一段的 For safety reasons, he would test the medicine before he took it to his mother.可知,刘恒亲尝汤药是为了确保安全。
2. B 推理判断题。根据第二段的 He therefore disguised himself in a deerskin and sneaked into a herd of deer in the mountains... Once, when he was taking deer's milk,a hunter mistook him for a deer and was going to shoot him.可知,郯子挤取鹿乳时披着鹿皮,故有被猎人误射的危险。
3. C推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,黄香少年丧母后,夏日他为父扇凉枕席,冬日他以身暖被。这一行为体现了孝道。此外,黄香任魏郡太守时,逢洪灾时倾尽家财赈济灾民,展现了他超越个人利益的奉献精神。故推断最后一句应该是概括黄香的优秀品德。C项“无可匹敌的无私精神与孝道”符合文意。
4. D推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,尽管遭受继母的苛待,王祥仍坚持照料患病的继母和父亲。他甚至克服困难,卧冰求鲤,只为遵守孝道、尽照顾父母的家庭责任。

郯子是春秋时期郯国的一位子爵。他年迈的父母患有眼疾,治疗需要饮用鹿乳。因此,他身披鹿皮伪装,潜入山中鹿群之中获取鹿乳。某次,他取乳时,猎人误以为他为鹿,准备射杀他。他赶忙现身,向猎人说明了实情。猎人敬佩他的孝心,护送他走出了山林。
东汉黄香九岁丧母,夏日他为父扇凉枕席,冬日他以身暖被。长大后任魏郡太守,逢洪灾时倾尽家财赈济灾民,其德行被誉为“天下无双”。
西晋王祥幼年丧母,继母苛待并屡进谗言,致其失宠于父。然父母患病时,他仍悉心照料。某年寒冬,继母欲食鲜鱼,王祥解衣卧冰求鲤,冰融跃出双鲤。他把鱼带回家,继母因此感动。

During the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named YueGuang. He was rich and liked to make friends. He took great delight in inviting his friends home drinking and chatting.
One day, Yue Guang entertained a friend at his home again. After a sip,the friend was about to replace his wine cup on the table when he paused.To his horror, he found a little snake wriggling (蠕动) in the cup he was holding. However, he was too shy to tellYue Guang about it. Instead, he gave an excuse that he didn't feel well and left for home after saying goodbye.
At home, the friend tried to recollect what had happened but the more he thought of the sight of the snake, the more scared he became. Soon he worried himself to illness. Upon hearing of his friend's condition,Yue Guang came to see him and asked what on earth had caused him to become sick. At first, the friend hesitated,but after repeated prodding from Yue Guang, he finally let out the truth: He told Yue Guang that he was scared to illness by the snake he had seen in the wine cup while they had been drinking together at Yue Guang's home the other day.
* As soon as he returned home, the baffled YueGuang singled out the wine jar from which he had drunk with the friend. He shook it violently several times and peeped hard into the mouth, but he failed to find anything but the wine left over therein. He poured it into a cup and sat melancholy where the friend had been seated. He was about to drink when he became alarmed like the friend:a snake was floating in the cup indeed. Rubbing his eyes, he took a closer look and, with a relief, came to the realization that the snake was nothing but a reflection of the bow hanging on the wall nearby.

A. He suddenly realized the snake was real.
B. He failed to recollect what had happened.

晋朝时,乐广宴请好友,友人在饮酒时发现杯中似有蛇影,受惊归家后忧惧成疾。乐广探病得知原委,回家反复试验,发现“蛇影”实为墙上悬挂的弓在酒杯中的倒影。该故事即成语“杯弓蛇影”的由来。
1. C 细节理解题。根据第三段的 the more he thought of the sight of the snake, the more scared he became 可知,朋友因反复回想“蛇影”而愈发恐惧。
2. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段的 the baffled YueGuang singled out the wine jar from which he had drunk with the friend 以及 He poured it into a cup and sat melancholy where the friend had been seated.可知,乐广通过重现饮酒场景发现蛇影实为弓在酒杯中的倒影。
3. B词义猜测题。根据上下文可推知,当时乐广因无法解释蛇影来源而感到困惑,所以回到家后做的第一件事就是一探究竟。故推断画线词意为“困惑的”,和 confused 的意思相近。
4. D推理判断题。该故事核心寓意是“因错觉或疑心引发的误解会导致无端恐慌”,旨在提醒人们不要因错觉而恐慌,要理性求证。

晋朝时期,有一位名叫乐广的男子。他出身富裕,晋喜好结交友人,并热衷于邀请朋友至家中饮酒畅谈。
一日,乐广再次在家中款待友人。友人浅酌一口酒后,正欲将酒杯放回桌面时,动作忽然停滞——他惊恐地发现,自己手持的杯中竟有一条小蛇在扭动。碍于情面,友人未将此事告知乐广,仅推托身体不适,匆匆告辞归家。
归家后,友人反复回想此事,却因杯中蛇影的回忆愈发恐惧,最终忧思成疾。乐广听闻友人生病,亲自登门探访,追问病因。友人起初犹豫,经乐广再三询问,方吐露实情:称前日共饮时,因目睹杯中蛇影受惊致病。
乐广困惑不已,返家后立即找出当日与友人共饮的酒坛。他多次摇晃酒坛,仔细检视坛口,却仅见残酒未现异物。乐广将酒倒入杯中,坐于友人当日席位,正欲举杯时,竟与友人同样惊觉杯中确有蛇影浮动。他揉眼细看,随即释然:所谓“蛇影”实为墙上悬挂的弓之倒影。

One of the most famous tales about Ne Zha involves his battle with the Dragon Kings of the sea.After killing the Dragon King's son to protect his people, Ne Zha found himself facing divine retribution(天谴). 3 Later the Daoist master Taiyi Zhenren gave him a new body made from lotus roots.
Ne Zha’ s rebellious nature and fight against destiny have made him a popular figure in Chinese literature, opera, and film. His modern revival began with Ne Zha (2019), which re-imagined the character as a misunderstood outcast struggling against a prediction that labeled him a villain(反面人物). 4
Beyond its striking animation and action-packed sequences, Ne Zha 2 explores the themes of fate,self-determination, and personal redemption. The character's struggle to define his destiny resonates with audiences, particularly in a rapidly changing China where traditional values intersect with modern aspirations.
5 With its record-breaking performance, Ne Zha 2 not only strengthens its place in cinematic history but also breathes new life into one of China's most enduring legends.

★ Ne Zha is a mythical figure whose story has fascinated audiences for centuries.哪吒是一个神话人物,其故事数百年来一直吸引着观众。
whose引导定语从句,修饰先行词a mythical figure,并在从句中作定语,修饰 story。
· 参考译文:
动画电影《哪吒2》在中国票房大卖,成为有史以动来票房最高的影片。这部电影的成功凸显了哪吒这一角色经久不衰的魅力。
哪吒是一个神话人物,其故事数百年来一直吸引着观众。早在《哪吒2》打破纪录之前,哪吒这一角色就已经深深扎根于中国民间传说之中。他的故事源自明朝小说《封神演义》。据传说,哪吒出生时情况非凡。其母怀胎三年多才生下一个发育完全的孩子。从一开始,哪吒就展现出超自然的能力,能使用诸如风火轮和乾坤圈之类的强大武器。
关于哪吒最著名的传说之一是他与四海龙王的战斗。为了保护自己的族人,哪吒杀死了东海龙王之子,结果自己遭到了天谴。为了不让家人受牵连,他选择了自我牺牲。后来,道教大师太乙真人给了他一个用莲藕做成的新身体。
哪吒的叛逆性格和反抗命运的精神使他成为中国文学、戏曲和电影中的热门人物。《哪吒》(2019)开启了哪吒的现代复兴之路,该片将哪吒重新塑造为一个被误解的弃儿,努力对抗将他视为反派的预言。这部电影的成功为《哪吒2》铺平了道路,拓展了他的故事旅程。
除了令人惊叹的动画和紧张刺激的动作场面,《哪吒2》还探讨了命运、自主决定和个人救赎的主题。哪吒努力定义自己命运的挣扎引起了观众的共鸣,尤其是在传统价值观与现代抱负相互交织的快速变化的中国。
这部电影的巨大成功也彰显了中国动画产业的实力。凭借其破纪录的表现,《哪吒2》不仅在电影史上占据了一席之地,还为中国不朽的传说注入了新的活力。

· 参考答案:
相传汉朝宫女元宵深居宫中,日夜思念家人。东方朔巧设妙计,让皇帝下令正月十五于长安城里张灯结彩。元宵父母循“元宵”宫灯找到了女儿,一家人终得团圆。此后,正月十五做元宵、祭火神便成为传统习俗。
1.B 根据下文可知,元宵思念父母但不得与之相见。由此可推知,她很伤心。calmly意为“镇定地”; bitterly意为“痛苦地”; nervously意为“紧张地”; angrily意为“生气地”。bitterly体现了元宵思念家人的悲伤情绪,符合语境。
2.C 根据第4空后的 meet her parents可推知,元宵进宫后,一直未与她的父母相见。
3.D 根据上文可知,元宵因进入皇宫,导致与父母分离。由此可推知,她因无法尽孝而自责。ungrateful意为“忘恩负义的”,符合语境。
4.A 根据下文可知,东方朔答应元宵会想办法让她和她的父母见面。figure out意为“想出”; give away意为“赠送”; think over意为“仔细考虑”; make up意为“编造”。
5.B 根据下文 People were in a panic可知,谣言迅速传播导致人们恐慌。spread常用于描述疾病、消息、谣言等的扩散或火势、水势等的蔓延,符合语境。
6.A 第一段介绍了东方朔是一位谋臣,此处强调大家对其解决危机的依赖。即,向他寻求解决问题的办法。solution意为“解决办法”,符合语境。
7.C send意为“派遣”,与 the Fire God构成合理的主谓关系,符合神话故事的常见叙事逻辑。第10个空前的 She took out a copy of a decree from the Fire God也印证了此题的答案。
8.B 根据下文情节可知,宫女元宵扮演了仙女的角色。play the part of为固定搭配,意为“扮演……角色”。
9.D follow one's advice意为“听从某人的建议”,符合文中“人们依照东方朔的指示行动”的叙事逻辑。
10.B 根据空前内容可知,元宵持有火神颁布的法令。故此处需选择能体现火神权威的动词。order意为“命令;下令”,符合语境。
11. D trick意为“欺骗”,强调用计谋或手段误导对方,与下文“让神灵误以为城市已陷入火海”的情节一致。
12. A 根据下文 Then,the gods will think the city is already burning可推知,此处需填 lighting以匹配“点燃灯笼制造着火的假象”这一完整的逻辑链。
13.C 此处描述长安城挤满了手持灯笼的人群。Be crowded with为固定搭配,意为“挤满”。
14.D 根据上下文可知,元宵制作的灯笼需要帮助父母找到她,因此灯笼上应包含能直接标识身份的信息。名字能明确指向个人身份,符合“通过标识物实现团聚”的逻辑。
15.A 皇帝因长安城平安无事而喜悦。overjoyed意为“欣喜若狂”,符合语境。

★ It turned out that the lady named Yuan Xiao hadn't been able to see her parents since she entered the palace.原来,这位名叫元宵的女子自入宫后便再未见过父母。“It turned out that…”是固定句式,用于 表示某种出乎意料或最终证实的情况。其中, It是形式主语,真正的主语是 that 引导的从句。
· 参考译文:
东方朔是皇帝(汉武帝)的谋臣。一天,他在游览御花园时,看到一位女子在井边痛哭。
原来,这位名叫元宵的女子自入宫后便再未见过父母。她觉得自己不孝。东方朔心生怜悯,承诺设法让她与家人团聚。
他摆出占卜摊,称“正月十五将有大火降临”。谣言迅速传开,百姓惊慌失措,纷纷向他求助。东方朔告知众人:正月十三,火神将派一位红衣仙子下凡,求她怜悯即可化解灾祸。
他让元宵假扮红衣仙子。元宵身着红裙走入人群,百姓按东方朔的指示向她祈求。她取出火神的“法令”,命人呈交皇帝。
皇帝向东方朔问策。东方朔答道:“陛下可命百姓燃放爆竹、点亮灯笼、并提着灯笼巡游街道,以此迷惑神明,使其误以为城市已陷入火海。”他还建议百姓制作火神最爱的食物——元宵,用以祭祀。
正月十五当日,长安城到处都是提着灯笼的人。元宵特制一盏写有自己名字的灯笼,父母得以与她相见。
长安城安然无恙,皇帝大喜,下诏每年正月十五做元宵、挂灯笼。

1. an 考查冠词。表示泛指,且 influential以元音音素开头,故填 an。
2.who 考查定语从句。引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是 Zengzi,指人,且在从句中作主语,故用 who。

4. crying 考查固定搭配。 keep doing sth意为“一直做某事”。故填 crying。

6. surprised 考查形容词。作表语,且主语是指人的代词,故用 surprised表示“惊讶的”。
7. preparing 考查非谓语动词。 find sb doing sth是固定句型,意为“发现某人正在做某事”。 prepare与宾语her husband之间为主动关系。故填 preparing,与空前 sharpening并列。
8. hurriedly 考查副词。修饰动词 stopped,应用副词作状语。
9. be joked 考查被动语态。A child与 joke之间为被动关系,故用被动语态。此处位于情态动词 cannot后面,故填 be joked。
10. to 考查介词。 make a promise to sb意为“向某人许下承诺”,介词 to后接承诺的对象。此处指曾子的妻子对儿子许下的承诺,儿子是承诺的对象。故填 to。

曾子是公元前505年至公元前432年间一位有影曾响力的中国哲学家,也是孔子的弟子,以诚实著称。
有一天,曾子的妻子正要出门去集市,她的小儿子啼哭缠闹要跟着去。为了安抚儿子,曾子的妻子说:“你在家陪爸爸,好好表现。我回来后,就杀猪给你吃。”
儿子停止了哭闹,同意了母亲的话。
后来,曾子的妻子从集市回来,惊讶地发现曾子正在磨刀准备杀猪,这通常是过节时才会做的事。
她急忙阻止丈夫说:“我只是跟孩子开个玩笑。”
“孩子不可欺。”曾子说:“孩子一无所知,以父母为镜,他从父母那里学习。他听从父母的教导。对孩子撒谎就是教他去欺骗别人。母亲对儿子撒谎,儿子就不会再相信母亲。那她又怎么能教育好儿子呢?”
于是,曾子杀了猪,为晚上准备了一顿丰盛的晚餐,以兑现妻子对儿子的承诺。

During the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named YueGuang. He was rich and liked to make friends. He took great delight in inviting his friends home drinking and chatting.
One day, Yue Guang entertained a friend at his home again. After a sip,the friend was about to replace his wine cup on the table when he paused.To his horror, he found a little snake wriggling (蠕动) in the cup he was holding. However, he was too shy to tellYue Guang about it. Instead, he gave an excuse that he didn't feel well and left for home after saying goodbye.
At home, the friend tried to recollect what had happened but the more he thought of the sight of the snake, the more scared he became. Soon he worried himself to illness. Upon hearing of his friend's condition,Yue Guang came to see him and asked what on earth had caused him to become sick. At first, the friend hesitated,but after repeated prodding from Yue Guang, he finally let out the truth: He told Yue Guang that he was scared to illness by the snake he had seen in the wine cup while they had been drinking together at Yue Guang's home the other day.
* As soon as he returned home, the baffled YueGuang singled out the wine jar from which he had drunk with the friend. He shook it violently several times and peeped hard into the mouth, but he failed to find anything but the wine left over therein. He poured it into a cup and sat melancholy where the friend had been seated. He was about to drink when he became alarmed like the friend:a snake was floating in the cup indeed.

* Ne Zha is a mythical figure whose story has fascinated audiences for centuries. Long before Ne Zha2 broke records, the character of Ne Zha was already deeply rooted in Chinese folklore.

One of the most famous tales about Ne Zha involves his battle with the Dragon Kings of the sea.After killing the Dragon King's son to protect his people, Ne Zha found himself facing divine retribution(天谴). 3 Later the Daoist master Taiyi Zhenren gave him a new body made from lotus roots.
Ne Zha’ s rebellious nature and fight against destiny have made him a popular figure in Chinese literature, opera, and film. His modern revival began with Ne Zha (2019), which re-imagined the character as a misunderstood outcast struggling against a prediction that labeled him a villain(反面人物). 4
Beyond its striking animation and action-packed sequences, Ne Zha 2 explores the themes of fate,self-determination, and personal redemption. The character's struggle to define his destiny resonates with audiences, particularly in a rapidly changing China where traditional values intersect with modern aspirations.
5 With its record-breaking performance, Ne Zha 2 not only strengthens its place in cinematic history but also breathes new life into one of China's most enduring legends.
