If you have ever been to a Perlman concert you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio (小儿麻痹症) as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches (拐杖) now. That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break — it broke with a loud noise. People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.” But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra (管弦乐队) began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power. Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlm refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing (重新作曲) the piece in his head. When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done. He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.” His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left. 41. Holding a concert is challenging for Perlman because ________. A. he is just a world famous violinist B. he has never performed on stage before C. he is physically disabled as a result of a disease D. he has difficulty in moving his body 42. When Perlman had just begun playing, ________. A. there was something wrong with the violin B. he fell ill suddenly C. an accident happened and caused a disturbance D. a very loud noise arose from the audience 43. If one of the strings suddenly broke, what would an ordinary player do? A. He would cancel the concert. B. He would play another violin. C. Another performer would play instead. D. The concert would be put off. 44. The audience rose and cheered ________. A. to show they are satisfied with Perlman’s performance B. to thank the orchestra for their passionate performance C. to ask Perlman for another performance D. to express their appreciation of Perlman’s creative mind 45. The lesson we draw from the story is that ________. A. we should make the best of what we have B. what we have is more important than what is lost C. we should not care about what is lost D. the way of life is to always live with music C Across the world, language and history are connected. As society and tradition change, new words or phrases are created to show the present cultural understanding. Some old phrases and words simply turn into the accepted usages with their backgrounds forgotten. One such phrase “grandfathered in” has become a common one now. Although it often makes people think of the image of a gray-haired, older gentleman, who gets out of trouble because of his age, it actually means that one person or a business has the right to refuse the new rules. A deeper look into the first use of the phrase shows an interesting story in history. It happened in a town in the 1980s. A new law was passed there not to allow illiterates (文盲) to participate in the making of rules as they couldn’t read or write and might not help in the process. The limit was potent because except for the old and children, there were close to 30 percent of young adults in the town who had little or no education. Being strong and energetic, they made up an important part of the town’s development. Considering that, some officers in the town didn’t readily accept the rule. Instead, they carefully gave their advice to the head of the town. At the same time, they encouraged these young adults to pass the literacy(读写能力)tests. Thus a “grandfather clause(条款)”was added to allow illiterates to participate as long as they or their grandfathers had once been participants. The clause no doubt helped remove the unfairness and benefited all. The phrase “grandfathered in” is of course still widely used today without being limited to a certain field. But even as culture and tradition change, whether we’re aware of it or not, language has the power to hold our history. 46. According to Paragraph 1, what has happened to some old phrase with time going? A. They have got lost in history. B. Few people can use them correctly. C. They are rarely used in popular culture. D. Few people know much about their history. 47. The phrase “grandfathered in” is used nowadays when________. A. an old man dislikes new rules B. a person is free from new rules C. a business has a long history and culture D. a businessman fails to follow the market rules 48. What does the underlined word “potent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Unless. B. Powerful. C. Easy. D. Reasonable. 49. What does the author think of the “grandfather clause” in the history? A. Funny. B. Incorrect. C. Positive. D. Disappointing. 50. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Language and history are always connected. B. The birth of some phrases can be interesting. C. History plays an important role in communication. D. Some phrases are created to show the present culture. D Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience that they knew would include crowds, discomfort and danger. Many would become sick, due to the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives. Yet, despite all this, by the end of the trip many were already planning to return. For these people, climbing Qomolangma is an experience like no other, making some feel weak and others, powerful. British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, “What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy... We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for.” Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although his body would not be found until many years later. It is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life. In 2011, words similar to those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world. “It brings into focus what’s important to you.” He added, “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going. You really have to focus on the one reason that’s most important and unique to you. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical, as well as mental, toughness to push when you want to stop.” With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure, is there also a scientific reason behind this risk-taking? Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be part of human nature, with some of us more likely to take risks than others. Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”, with the “T” standing for “thrill”. Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities, Farley said, “They’ll say, ‘I’m not taking risks, I’m an expert...’ They don’t want to die and they don’t expect to die.” Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result. With this in mind, are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks? It’s totally up to you. 51. Why did many climbers intend to climb Qomolangma again despite high risks? A. They could make a large profit from the climbing. B. The climb brought them special spiritual experience. C. The living condition on the mountain was improved. D. They wanted to prove their climbing skills to others. 52. What can we learn about George Mallory from Paragraph 2? A. He successfully reached the summit of Qomolangma in 1924. B. He thought earning money was the final goal of life. C. He considered adventure a way to enjoy the true meaning of life. D. His body was found immediately after he went missing. 53. According to Alan Arnette, what is the main benefit of climbing Qomolangma? A. It helps people realize what is important to themselves. B. It enables people to make more friends around the world. C. It teaches people how to keep away from life difficulties. D. It builds up people’s ability to forget past failures. 54. What does a person with “Type T” personalities most probably tend to do? A. Stay away from any possible danger. B. Avoid challenges and live a stable life. C. Seek exciting and limit-breaking adventures. D. Follow traditional and safe daily routines. 55. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To warn people against the danger of climbing Qomolangma. B. To explain the attraction of Qomolangma climbing and people’s different attitudes. C. To introduce the history of Qomolangma climbing. D. To argue that mountain climbing is completely meaningless. 四、阅读表达（2×5） What a maginificent horse! Even after more than a thousand years have passed, we can still feel the power within its burning eyes, bared teeth and kicking hooves. Night-Shining White, now kept in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, is regarded as one of the most significant horse paintings in the history of Chinese art. Its artist, Han Gan, is known for his skill in capturing not only the physical features of the animal, but also its inner spirit and strength. Born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty, the young Han Gan had to help support his family by working in a local wine shop. His artistic talent was discovered accidentally when he was sent to the poet Wang Wei’s house to collect payment for some wine. While waiting at the gate, Han Gan used a stick to draw pictures in the dirt and was seen by the poet himself. Wang Wei decided to sponsor the young man to study painting and recommend him to a master. Due to Han Gan’s natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace. The Tang emperors were very fond of horses. This meant that the animal was a frequent subject for artists. At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters. Han Gan’s method, however, was different — he observed the animal itself. He was a frequent visitor to the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time. The horses, whether resting or on the move, offered him plenty of inspiration. The more time he spent observing these animals, the more his understanding of them grew. Day after day, Han Gan painted the horses, his brush presenting every detail that he saw with his own eyes. It is said that when the Emperor asked Han Gan to take a master of horses painting as his teacher, the artist replied, “I have my own teachers, Your Majesty. All the horses in your stables are my very teachers.” Those who saw Han Gan’s horse paintings all sang high praises for his unique skill, saying that his horses “could gallop off the paper”. Even Su Shi, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty, expressed his admiration for Han Gan as a master of horse painting with the words, “The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses.” 56. According to Paragraph 1, why is Night-Shining White still amazing to viewers even after over 1000 years? (No more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 57. What was Han Gan’s early job to support his poor family? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 58. Find one word from the text to replace the underlined word in meaning. (No more than 3 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 59. What made Han Gan’s way of learning horse painting different from other painters of his time? (No more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 60. What quality of Han Gan can we learn from his story? Please give your opinion. (No more than 25 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 五、书面表达（25） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。你的美国朋友Chris就读于天津某国际学校，对中国传统文化非常感兴趣。他给你发来一封邮件，希望你能给他介绍一些关于中国京剧的知识。请你根据以下提示，用英语给Chris写一封回信。 内容包括： （1）简单介绍京剧艺术（①京剧有近二百年的历史 ②中国影响最大的戏种 ③以历史故事为主要演出内容等）； （2）邀请Chris下周与你一起观看京剧演出，感受中国传统文化魅力； （3）请求对方回复。 注意：（1）词数不少于100词； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯; （3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一年级第二学期第二次月考试题 一、单项选择（1×15） 1.

If you have ever been to a Perlman concert you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio (小儿麻痹症) as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches (拐杖) now. That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break — it broke with a loud noise. People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.” But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra (管弦乐队) began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power. Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlm refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing (重新作曲) the piece in his head. When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done. He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.” His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left. 41. Holding a concert is challenging for Perlman because ________. A. he is just a world famous violinist B. he has never performed on stage before C. he is physically disabled as a result of a disease D. he has difficulty in moving his body 42. When Perlman had just begun playing, ________.

If one of the strings suddenly broke, what would an ordinary player do? A. He would cancel the concert. B. He would play another violin. C. Another performer would play instead. D. The concert would be put off. 44. The audience rose and cheered ________. A. to show they are satisfied with Perlman’s performance B. to thank the orchestra for their passionate performance C. to ask Perlman for another performance D. to express their appreciation of Perlman’s creative mind 45. The lesson we draw from the story is that ________. A. we should make the best of what we have B. what we have is more important than what is lost C. we should not care about what is lost D. the way of life is to always live with music 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位小时候身患小儿麻痹症而不得不住拐杖的小提琴家Itzhak Perlman，在一次演出中不小心断了一根琴弦，他并没有像常人一样换一个琴或换一根弦，反而将曲子重新编排为三根弦可以演奏的乐曲。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“He got polio as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches now.(他小时候得了小儿麻痹症，现在不得不拄着两根拐杖走路)”可知，他小时候有小儿麻痹，所以现在不得不拄拐杖走路。由此可知，举办音乐会对他来说是挑战是因为他儿时的疾病使他现在身患残疾。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句“But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break—it broke with a loud noise.(但是，突然间，他小提琴上的一根琴弦断了。你可以听到它破裂的声音——它以一声巨响打破了)”可知，在他开始演奏时，小提琴的琴弦突然断了，即小提琴出了故障。故选A。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段“People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”(人们心想：“他必须起床去找另一把小提琴，或者为这把小提琴找到另一把弦)”可知，通常人们遇到这种情况会换一把小提琴或者换一根琴弦。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“You could see him changing and recomposing the piece in his head.(你可以看到他在脑海中改变和重新组合这首曲子)”可知，因为三根琴弦不能演奏，他在自己的脑海里重新编排了曲子。这与众不同的做法和惊人的作曲能力让观众折服，纷纷站起鼓掌。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。由本文最后一段最后一句“ Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.(也许在我们生活的这个瞬息万变的世界中，我们的任务是制作音乐，首先用我们所拥有的一切，然后，当这不再可能时，用我们剩下的东西制作音乐)”可知，这个故事告诉我们，要善于运用我们现在所拥有的东西。故选A。 C Across the world, language and history are connected. As society and tradition change, new words or phrases are created to show the present cultural understanding. Some old phrases and words simply turn into the accepted usages with their backgrounds forgotten. One such phrase “grandfathered in” has become a common one now. Although it often makes people think of the image of a gray-haired, older gentleman, who gets out of trouble because of his age, it actually means that one person or a business has the right to refuse the new rules. A deeper look into the first use of the phrase shows an interesting story in history. It happened in a town in the 1980s. A new law was passed there not to allow illiterates (文盲) to participate in the making of rules as they couldn’t read or write and might not help in the process. The limit was potent because except for the old and children, there were close to 30 percent of young adults in the town who had little or no education. Being strong and energetic, they made up an important part of the town’s development. Considering that, some officers in the town didn’t readily accept the rule. Instead, they carefully gave their advice to the head of the town. At the same time, they encouraged these young adults to pass the literacy(读写能力)tests. Thus a “grandfather clause(条款)”was added to allow illiterates to participate as long as they or their grandfathers had once been participants. The clause no doubt helped remove the unfairness and benefited all. The phrase “grandfathered in” is of course still widely used today without being limited to a certain field. But even as culture and tradition change, whether we’re aware of it or not, language has the power to hold our history. 46. According to Paragraph 1, what has happened to some old phrase with time going? A. They have got lost in history. B. Few people can use them correctly. C. They are rarely used in popular culture. D. Few people know much about their history. 47. The phrase “grandfathered in” is used nowadays when________. A. an old man dislikes new rules B. a person is free from new rules C. a business has a long history and culture D. a businessman fails to follow the market rules 48. What does the underlined word “potent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Unless. B. Powerful. C. Easy. D. Reasonable. 49. What does the author think of the “grandfather clause” in the history? A. Funny. B. Incorrect. C. Positive. D. Disappointing. 50. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Language and history are always connected. B. The birth of some phrases can be interesting. C. History plays an important role in communication. D. Some phrases are created to show the present culture. 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【分析】本文为一篇说明文。作者认为过去的一些短语虽然现在还在使用，但是意思已经发生了变化，作者通过一个例子说明语言和文化是相连的。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Some old phrases and words simply turn into the accepted usages with their backgrounds forgotten.”（一些旧的短语和单词只是变成了被接受的用法，忘记了它们的背景。）可知，这些人们对于这些短语的背景以及历史了解不够深入，选项D符合题意。故选D。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Although it often makes people think of the image of a gray-haired, older gentleman, who gets out of trouble because of his age, it actually means that one person or a business has the right to refuse the new rules.”（虽然它经常让人们想到一个白发苍苍的年长绅士的形象，因为他的年龄而摆脱了麻烦，但它实际上意味着一个人或一家企业有权拒绝新规定。）可知，“grandfathered in”这个短语现在用在一个人不受新规则的约束的时候。故选B。 【48题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线单词所在句子“The limit was potent because except for the old and children, there were close to 30 percent of young adults in the town who had little or no education.”（这个限制很有效，因为除了老人和孩子，镇上近30%的年轻人几乎没有受过教育。）以及后句“Being strong and energetic, they made up an important part of the town’s development.”（他们身体强壮，精力充沛，是这个城市发展的重要组成部分。）可知，限制的效果是好的。因此选项B符合题意；故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Thus a ‘grandfather clause(条款)’was added to allow illiterates to participate as long as they or their grandfathers had once been participants. The clause no doubt helped remove the unfairness and benefited all.”（因此“祖父条款”被添加到允许文盲参与只要他们或他们的祖父曾经是参与者。这一条款无疑有助于消除不公平，使所有人受益。）可知，作者对于这条款是积极的态度。故选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But even as culture and tradition change, whether we’re aware of it or not, language has the power to hold our history.”（但即使文化和传统在改变，无论我们是否意识到，语言仍有力量保存我们的历史。）可知，作者想告诉我们语言和文化是相连的。故选A。 D Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience that they knew would include crowds, discomfort and danger. Many would become sick, due to the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives. Yet, despite all this, by the end of the trip many were already planning to return. For these people, climbing Qomolangma is an experience like no other, making some feel weak and others, powerful. British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, “What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy... We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for.” Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although his body would not be found until many years later. It is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life. In 2011, words similar to those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world. “It brings into focus what’s important to you.” He added, “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going. You really have to focus on the one reason that’s most important and unique to you. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical, as well as mental, toughness to push when you want to stop.” With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure, is there also a scientific reason behind this risk-taking? Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be part of human nature, with some of us more likely to take risks than others. Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”, with the “T” standing for “thrill”. Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities, Farley said, “They’ll say, ‘I’m not taking risks, I’m an expert...’ They don’t want to die and they don’t expect to die.” Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result. With this in mind, are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks? It’s totally up to you. 51. Why did many climbers intend to climb Qomolangma again despite high risks? A. They could make a large profit from the climbing. B. The climb brought them special spiritual experience. C. The living condition on the mountain was improved. D. They wanted to prove their climbing skills to others. 52. What can we learn about George Mallory from Paragraph 2? A. He successfully reached the summit of Qomolangma in 1924. B. He thought earning money was the final goal of life. C. He considered adventure a way to enjoy the true meaning of life. D. His body was found immediately after he went missing. 53. According to Alan Arnette, what is the main benefit of climbing Qomolangma? A. It helps people realize what is important to themselves. B. It enables people to make more friends around the world. C. It teaches people how to keep away from life difficulties. D. It builds up people’s ability to forget past failures. 54. What does a person with “Type T” personalities most probably tend to do? A. Stay away from any possible danger. B. Avoid challenges and live a stable life. C. Seek exciting and limit-breaking adventures. D. Follow traditional and safe daily routines. 55. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To warn people against the danger of climbing Qomolangma. B. To explain the attraction of Qomolangma climbing and people’s different attitudes. C. To introduce the history of Qomolangma climbing. D. To argue that mountain climbing is completely meaningless. 【答案】51. B 52. C 53. A 54. C 55. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍珠峰攀登极具风险却极具吸引力，并探究其背后的人性原因。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet, despite all this, by the end of the trip many were already planning to return.

Even after more than a thousand years have passed, we can still feel the power within its burning eyes, bared teeth and kicking hooves. Night-Shining White, now kept in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, is regarded as one of the most significant horse paintings in the history of Chinese art. Its artist, Han Gan, is known for his skill in capturing not only the physical features of the animal, but also its inner spirit and strength. Born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty, the young Han Gan had to help support his family by working in a local wine shop. His artistic talent was discovered accidentally when he was sent to the poet Wang Wei’s house to collect payment for some wine. While waiting at the gate, Han Gan used a stick to draw pictures in the dirt and was seen by the poet himself. Wang Wei decided to sponsor the young man to study painting and recommend him to a master. Due to Han Gan’s natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace. The Tang emperors were very fond of horses. This meant that the animal was a frequent subject for artists. At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters. Han Gan’s method, however, was different — he observed the animal itself. He was a frequent visitor to the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time. The horses, whether resting or on the move, offered him plenty of inspiration. The more time he spent observing these animals, the more his understanding of them grew. Day after day, Han Gan painted the horses, his brush presenting every detail that he saw with his own eyes. It is said that when the Emperor asked Han Gan to take a master of horses painting as his teacher, the artist replied, “I have my own teachers, Your Majesty. All the horses in your stables are my very teachers.” Those who saw Han Gan’s horse paintings all sang high praises for his unique skill, saying that his horses “could gallop off the paper”. Even Su Shi, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty, expressed his admiration for Han Gan as a master of horse painting with the words, “The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses.” 56.

While waiting at the gate, Han Gan used a stick to draw pictures in the dirt and was seen by the poet himself. Wang Wei decided to sponsor the young man to study painting and recommend him to a master. Due to Han Gan’s natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace.(他的艺术天赋是accidentally被发现的——当时他被派往诗人王维家中收取酒钱。在门口等候时，韩干用一根棍子在泥土上画画，正好被诗人本人看见。王维决定资助这个年轻人学习绘画，并把他推荐给一位大师。凭借天生的才华和多年的刻苦努力，韩干最终被选中入宫侍奉唐玄宗。)”可知，他的艺术天赋是偶然被发现的。by accident/chance可替换accidentally。 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters.

The horses, whether resting or on the move, offered him plenty of inspiration. The more time he spent observing these animals, the more his understanding of them grew. Day after day, Han Gan painted the horses, his brush presenting every detail that he saw with his own eyes.(当时，学习画马最常见的方法是临摹前代画家的作品。然而，韩干的方法却不同——他观察马本身。他经常造访皇家马厩，甚至搬去与马厩工人同住了一段时间。那些马，无论是休息还是奔跑，都给了他大量的灵感。他观察这些动物的时间越长，对它们的理解就越深。日复一日，韩干画着马，他的画笔呈现出他用自己双眼看到的每一个细节。)”可知，他不临摹前人，亲自观察真实的马匹。 【60题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：从韩干的故事中我们可以学到什么品质？请发表你的意见。（不超过25字）答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我们应该勤奋、细心、有创造力地学习。 五、书面表达（25） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。你的美国朋友Chris就读于天津某国际学校，对中国传统文化非常感兴趣。他给你发来一封邮件，希望你能给他介绍一些关于中国京剧的知识。请你根据以下提示，用英语给Chris写一封回信。 内容包括： （1）简单介绍京剧艺术（①京剧有近二百年的历史 ②中国影响最大的戏种 ③以历史故事为主要演出内容等）； （2）邀请Chris下周与你一起观看京剧演出，感受中国传统文化魅力； （3）请求对方回复。 注意：（1）词数不少于100词； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯; （3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, Knowing that you’re interested in the Beijing Opera, I’m writing to tell you some information about it.
