With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. —Translated by Xu Yuanchong This famous poem was written by Du Fu (712-770, the Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful for nature. This poem is mainly about the good rain in spring. The very first word, “Good”, shows the poet’s (诗人) joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification, as if the rain was clever enough to come in time for the busy farming season. The rain appears during the night, without making any noise in spring. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known. 51. What’s the name of the poem? It’s ________________________. 52. What did Du Fu’s farming experience teach him when he was living and farming in Chengdu? His farming experience taught him ________________________. 53. What is the poem about? It is about the ________________________ in spring. 54. Which English word means “拟人化” in Paragraph Two? It is “________________________”. 55. When does the rain appear in the poem? It comes during ________________________ without making any noise in spring. Ⅷ. 补全对话 （共5小题，计5分） 根据下面对话中的情境，在每个空白处填入一个适当的语句，使对话恢复完整。 A: Hey, Li Ming.

Some people kill elephants for their ivory. To save them, we should take action. We must stop cutting down forests, never buy things made of ivory, and tell people how important it is to protect elephants. The more people know, the better they will protect these gentle animals. Everyone should play a part in protecting the elephants. That’s all. Thanks a lot. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
