He played the qin, an ancient Chinese instrument, very well. But he always felt sad, because nobody could really understand his music. 很久以前，中国有一位伟大的音乐家，名叫伯牙。他弹古琴——一种中国古代乐器——技艺精湛。但他总是感到难过，因为没有人能真正听懂他的音乐。 One day, Bo Ya was playing the qin by a river. A woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi stopped and listened. When Bo Ya played music about high mountains, Zhong said, "How wonderful! I can see great mountains standing high!" When Bo Ya played about flowing water, Zhong said, "Amazing! I can hear a long river running fast!" 一天，伯牙在河边弹琴。一位名叫钟子期的樵夫停下脚步倾听。当伯牙弹奏表现高山的乐曲时，钟子期说：“多么美妙啊！我仿佛看到了巍峨耸立的高山！”当伯牙弹奏表现流水的乐曲时，钟子期说：“太令人惊叹了！我仿佛听到了奔腾不息的长河！” Bo Ya was surprised and happy. At last, he found someone who could "hear" his heart through music. The two men became best friends. People call such a friend "zhiyin", a friend who truly understands you. 伯牙又惊又喜。他终于找到了一个能透过音乐“听见”他内心的人。两人成了最好的朋友。人们把这样的朋友称为“知音”——一个真正懂你的朋友。 Later, Zhong Ziqi died. Bo Ya was so sad that he broke his qin. He never played it again. "No one can understand my music now," he said. 后来，钟子期去世了。伯牙悲痛万分，摔碎了自己的琴，从此不再弹奏。他说：“如今没有人能听懂我的音乐了。” The story of Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi is still popular today. It tells us that music is a language of the heart, and a true friend is hard to find. 伯牙与钟子期的故事流传至今。它告诉我们：音乐是心灵的语言，而知音难觅。 【长难句分析】 1．When Bo Ya played music about high mountains, Zhong said, "How wonderful! I can see great mountains standing high!" 翻译：当伯牙弹奏表现高山的乐曲时，钟子期说：“多么美妙啊！我仿佛看到了巍峨耸立的高山！” 分析：when 引导时间状语从句；“How wonderful!”为感叹句；see sb./sth. doing sth. 意为“看到……正在做某事”。 2．Bo Ya was so sad that he broke his qin. 翻译：伯牙悲痛万分，摔碎了自己的琴。 分析：“so＋形容词＋that...”引导结果状语从句，意为“如此……以至于……”；break 的过去式为 broke。 3．It tells us that music is a language of the heart, and a true friend is hard to find. 翻译：它告诉我们：音乐是心灵的语言，而知音难觅。 分析：that 引导宾语从句；and 连接两个并列分句；“be＋形容词＋to do”结构中，动词不定式作状语。 【重难词汇梳理】 musician /mjuˈzɪʃn/ n. 音乐家 ancient /ˈeɪnʃənt/ adj. 古代的 instrument /ˈɪnstrəmənt/ n. 乐器 woodcutter /ˈwʊdkʌtə(r)/ n. 樵夫 flow /fləʊ/ v. 流动 surprised /səˈpraɪzd/ adj. 惊讶的 understand /ˌʌndəˈstænd/ v. 理解；懂得 break /breɪk/ v. 弄坏（broke） die /daɪ/ v. 死；去世 popular /ˈpɒpjələ(r)/ adj. 受欢迎的 heart /hɑːt/ n. 心；内心 true /truː/ adj. 真正的；真实的 Passage2 Drawing Eggs 达·芬奇画蛋 Leonardo da Vinci was a great Italian artist. When he was a boy, he loved drawing very much. So his father sent him to learn from a famous painter, Verrocchio. 列奥纳多·达·芬奇是一位伟大的意大利艺术家。他小时候非常喜欢画画，于是父亲送他去拜著名画家韦罗基奥为师。 On the first day, Verrocchio asked Leonardo to draw eggs. Day after day, Leonardo drew eggs. After some time, he felt bored. "Why do I always draw eggs?" he asked. "They are all the same!" 第一天，韦罗基奥让达·芬奇画鸡蛋。日复一日，达·芬奇不停地画鸡蛋。过了一段时间，他感到厌烦了。“为什么我总画鸡蛋？”他问，“它们不都一样吗！” His teacher smiled and said, "No two eggs are the same. Look at them from different sides, and you will see different shapes. Drawing eggs can train your eyes and hands. Only when you can draw an egg well can you draw anything well." 老师笑着说：“没有两个鸡蛋是相同的。从不同的角度观察，你会看到不同的形状。画鸡蛋能训练你的眼和手。只有把鸡蛋画好，你才能把任何东西画好。” Leonardo understood his teacher's words. He kept drawing eggs every day and became more and more careful and patient. Years later, his hard work paid off. He became one of the greatest artists in the world. His painting Mona Lisa is still loved by people everywhere. 达·芬奇明白了老师的话。他每天坚持画鸡蛋，变得越来越细心、越来越有耐心。多年后，他的努力得到了回报。他成为世界上最伟大的艺术家之一。他的画作《蒙娜丽莎》至今仍为各地的人们所喜爱。 The story tells us: to create something great, we must first learn from small things and keep practicing 这个故事告诉我们：要创造伟大的作品，必须先从小事学起，并坚持练习。 【长难句分析】 1．Look at them from different sides, and you will see different shapes. 翻译：从不同的角度观察它们，你会看到不同的形状。 分析：本句为“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”结构，祈使句相当于条件状语从句，陈述句用一般将来时。 2．Only when you can draw an egg well can you draw anything well. 翻译：只有当你能把鸡蛋画好，你才能把任何东西画好。 分析：“only＋状语从句”置于句首时，主句要部分倒装（can 提到主语 you 之前）。 3．The story tells us: to create something great, we must first learn from small things and keep practicing. 翻译：这个故事告诉我们：要创造伟大的作品，必须先从小事学起，并坚持练习。 分析：动词不定式 to create... 作目的状语；keep doing sth. 意为“持续做某事”。 【重难词汇梳理】 draw /drɔː/ v. 画；绘画 egg /eɡ/ n. 鸡蛋 bored /bɔːd/ adj. 感到无聊的 same /seɪm/ adj. 相同的 side /saɪd/ n. 边；面 train /treɪn/ v. 训练 patient /ˈpeɪʃnt/ adj. 有耐心的 create /kriˈeɪt/ v. 创造 famous /ˈfeɪməs/ adj. 著名的 practice /ˈpræktɪs/ v. 练习 pay off 取得成功；得到回报 keep doing sth. 持续做某事 Passage 1（阅读理解） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Digital Technology Brings Dunhuang Art to Life Dunhuang is a small city in Gansu, China.

At last, he found someone who could "hear" his heart through music. The two men became best friends. People call such a friend "zhiyin", a friend who truly understands you. 伯牙又惊又喜。他终于找到了一个能透过音乐“听见”他内心的人。两人成了最好的朋友。人们把这样的朋友称为“知音”——一个真正懂你的朋友。 Later, Zhong Ziqi died.
