秋词
Song of Autumn
Liu Yuxi
刘禹锡
Since olden days we feel in autumn sad and drear,
自古逢秋悲寂寥,
我言秋日胜春朝。
But I say spring cannot compete with autumn clear.
晴空一鹤排云上,
On a fine day a crane cleaves the clouds and soars high;
It leads the poet's lofty mind to azure sky.
便引诗情到碧霄。
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
Poems from Tang are very famous in China's history.Today,I'd like to recommend
"Song of Autumn",one of the poems by Liu Yuxi,a famous poet and writer in the mid-
Tang dynasty.
Just as shown in the first line of the poem,most ancient poets liked to describe autumn as a
sad time,but in this poem the season appears differently.In Liu's eyes,autumn,full of life and
hope,is even better than spring.He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and
flying into the blue sky.
With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings,as well as the daily
life of common people,Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words.You may feel it in this
poem.Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong,the poem still reads
not so beautifully as that in Chinese.I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful
as Chinese.
Here is another example..In Liu's essay“An Eulogium on a Humble Cell'”(《陋室铭》),with
fewer than 100 words,he shows a lively picture of his humble cell.However,it also shows how he
was happy with the poor and simple life.People may find it strange that one can feel happy living in
such a humble cell.Learning from his famous sentences,"Be fragrant because of my virtues(
陋室,惟吾德馨)”,I think to be a respectable man is more important than to live in big houses,to
wear beautiful clothes,to enjoy delicious food,and even to gain knowledge.
1.What was autumn like in Liu Yuxi's eyes at that time?
A.It was a sad time.
B.It was rather cloudy
C.It was not so good as spring.
D.It was active and hopeful.
2.Which of the following is the feature of Liu Yuxi's works according to the passage?
A.Expressing personal feelings.
B.Describing daily life of young people.
C.Picturing the blue sky and a crane.
D.Writing songs according to music.
3.How did Liu feel about living in a humble cell in the writer's opinion?
A.Strange.
B.Unhappy.
C.Satisfied.
D.Lonely.
4.Which of the following does the writer think is more important?
A.To be a respectable man.
B.To live in a big house.
C.To wear beautiful clothes.
D.To gain more knowledge.
108ivory products..”可知,许多人愿意为象牙制品支付高
价。由此推知,象牙被认为是珍贵的,precious与
valuable同义。
3.A段落大意题。第三段主要描述象牙因外观独
特、经久耐用而被视为奢侈品,解释了象牙制品受欢
迎的原因。
4.B细节理解题。根据第五段中“The high-tech
ivory is made from synthetic resin and calcium
phosphate particles.It's first...then...Next..."
可知,本段提及了制作Digory的材料和步骤。
5.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中scientists can
protect African elephants by making high-tech
materials可知,作者认为科技能助力野生动物保护。

五、One possible version:
The giant panda is one of the most beloved
animals in the world.It has soft black-and-white fur
and loves eating bamboo.They can eat 10 kilos of
bamboo each day.
Sadly,pandas are endangered because of human
activities and climate change.To protect these
amazing creatures,we need to take action.We should
plant more bamboo forests and avoid buying products
that harm their environment.If we do nothing,these
gentle animals may disappear forever,and our planet
will lose part of its beauty.
Let's take action now!Even small steps,such as
reducing waste and telling others about panda
protection,can make a big difference.
Remember,every small effort counts.
