Everything in the plot seemed to 30 , and the story 31 the local folk culture. The author reminded readers to 32 when judging complicated events in life.
五、任务型阅读
根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
“A steed raising red dust won the fair mistress’ smiles. How many steeds bringing her fruit died on the run! (一骑红尘妃子笑,无人知是荔枝来。)” is a famous Tang Dynasty poem.
Ma Boyong got the idea from this poem and wrote The Lychee in Chang’an, a book about an exciting story from ancient China. During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong wanted to please his Consort Yang by transporting (运输) fresh lychees from Lingnan (now Guangdong). However, this simple wish was hard to achieve: lychees would go bad in three days, as the journey was over 2,500 kilometers across mountains and rivers.
The main character, Li Shande, was asked to send the fruit before Consort Yang’s birthday. Though it was difficult, Li refused to give up. “Even if I fail,” he said, “I must know how far I fall short of the goal.”
Li used his wisdom and courage (勇气) to deal with this challenge. He used scientific ways — testing routes, using ice, and inventing a color-coded tracking system (颜色编码追踪系统) to check the fruit’s freshness. After repeated trials (试验), he finished the job of sending lychees in nearly 11 days.
Yet his success came at a price. Li saw how hard common people worked to meet the emperor’s orders. He bravely spoke out against this unfairness.
Though set in the Tang Dynasty, the novel mirrors modern life. Li faced many problems, like not having enough money for a house and dealing with unfair work. These are the same problems young people have today. His story teaches us: real growth comes not just from success, but from never giving up no matter how hard life is.
33.Why does the writer use the poem to start the passage?
34.Why was it difficult to transport lychees to Chang’an?
35.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
36.What was the cost (代价) of Li Shande’s success?
37.What can we learn from Li? (List at least two qualities)
