    　　Du Juan, the 25-year-old painting teacher is now the only graduate of an art school employed to teach students in the nine grades at Wangji School in Dongxiang County(县), Gansu Province．She graduated from Longdong College in Gansu Province in 2009 and began teaching that autumn．

    　　She used to feel impatient towards naughty kids．She had never expected she would become a teacher in a rural(农村的)primary school when she was in high school．

    　　She had great trouble when she first started at the school．Very few of the first-grade students, who were mostly six or seven years old, could understand what she was saying in Mandarin(普通话)．It was not until she held her first painting class that she began to realize that, besides language, one can communicate through pictures．

    　　She well remembers the first time she stood before her class and painted．She drew a scene she guessed most rural children would be familiar with．It described a rabbit hiding under mushrooms(蘑菇)to avoid getting wet in a heavy rain．But she was surprised to see how excited the students became at watching her work．“Wow! A rabbit! It was so much like a real rabbit!” some students shouted．It was the first time that many of the students had seen someone painting．

    　　Before she started painting, the kids were even not able to talk to her because of the language difference．She now shows her students how they can draw the pictures she has copied from books．Sometimes, though, when she asks them about a particular painting, they misunderstand her．She knows there are too many things that they have never seen, and then they have no idea about what she is trying to show them．

    　　Last year, she received a notebook as a good-bye gift from a girl who had graduated from primary school．When she opened it, she saw that the girl had drawn a small flower in different colours at the corner of every page．She has been amazed by the children's cleverness and use of colour．“Beautiful things are always on their minds,” Du said, “The students are just very shy．”

    　　The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival．

    　　The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time．The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere．The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities．Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood(茱萸)and drinking chrysanthemum(菊花)wine have become the traditional activities of the festival．

    　　The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(香气)，and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine．People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill(寒意)in late autumn．So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries．But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities, do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like．

    　　Early in Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival．For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter．The custom evolved(发展成)into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery．

    　　But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain?The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes．The Chinese word for“cake”is“Gao”, a homony of the Chinese word for“high”．Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb．

    阅读理解

    　　China has a wealth of classical literature dating from as far back as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and including the Classics, whose compilation(收集，选编)is attributed to Confucius．Among these, the most important classics in Chinese literature include the Yijing, the Shijing, the Shujing, the Liji, the Chunqiu and the Lunyu．

    　　The earliest and most influential poetic collection was the Chuci, made up mainly of poems by Qu Yuan and his follower Song Yu．The songs in this collection are more lyrical and romantic and represent a different tradition from the earlier written Shijing．During the Han Dynasty, this form developed into the fu, a poem usually composed in rhymed verse except for the introductory and concluding passages, which are often in the form of questions and answers．

    　　Classical poetry in China reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty．The early Tang period was best known for a number of poetic styles including the lushi, an eight-line poem with five or seven words in each line; and the jueju, a four-line poem with five or seven words in each line．The two best-known poets of this period were Li Bai and Du Fu．Li Bai was known for the romanticism in his poetry, while Du Fu was seen as a Confucian moralist with a strict sense of duty toward society．

    　　Later Tang poets developed greater realism and social criticism within their work and improved the art of narration．One of the best known of the later Tang poets was Bai Juyi, whose poems were an inspired yet critical comment of the society of his time．

    　　As the classical style of poetry became redundant(多余的), a more flexible poetic medium, the ci, arrived on the scene．The ci, a poetic form of Central Asian origin based on the tunes of popular songs, was developed to its fullest by the poets of the Song Dynasty．

    According to the passage, in contrast to the Shijing, the Chuciwas ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    different in terms of style and tradition

    B．

    created earlier and considered more influential

    C．

    made up of poems by a larger range of poets

    D．

    more different from the fu during the Han Dynasty

    (2)

    Among the poets mentioned in the passage, whose poems were considered to be romantic?

    [　　]

    A．

    Li Bai and Du Fu．

    B．

    Bai Juyi and Li Bai．

    C．

    Qu Yuan and Li Bai．

    D．

    Du Fu and Qu Yuan．

    (3)

    Compared with poets of early Tang, Bai Juyi’s poems were more ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    flexible and lyrical

    B．

    practical and romantic

    C．

    pessimistic and realistic

    D．

    realistic and critical

    (4)

    [　　]

    A．

    often in the form of questions and answers

    based on the popular poems at that time

    　　John H．Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918．His father died in an accident when John was six．He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks．

    　　Fortunately he had a strong-willed caring mother．John remembered that his mother told him many times,“Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe．”She told him not to depend on others, including his mother．“You have to earn success,”she said．“All the people who work hard don't succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard．”

    　　These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education．She also knew that believing and hard work don't mean everything．So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago．

    　　Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for．John's mother and stepfather could not find work．But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words－-as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School．His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks．

    　　While others discouraged him, John's mother offered him more words to live by：“Nothing beats a failure but a try．”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the ＄500 he needed to start the Negro magazine for blacks．

    　　It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful．He always keeps his mother's words in mind：“Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”

    阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Du Fu, the famous Tang Dynasty poet, is getting the business these days．In response to the 1, 300th anniversary of the poet's birth, the meme, “Du Fu is busy, ” is spreading through the Internet and turning the iconic poet into a figure of fun．

    　　A meme is a cultural phenomenon．It's an idea or image that somehow strikes a chord with Internet users and prompts them to comment on it, change it, or use it in different situations．In Du's case, the meme is a picture of the poet taken from a textbook．The picture shows a very serious Du sitting on a rock, clothed in loose robes．His chin is pointed resolutely upward and his eyes gaze calmly into the distance．It is a picture of a man with a great mind and a heroic spirit．

    　　That image is changed in the meme．Du Fu is now seen holding a gun or listening to an iPod or dressed as a Japanese cartoon character．In today's world, it seems fewer people respect great minds or heroic spirits．

    　　This is sad because it means we are losing our sense of idealism．Du Fu led a life of poverty and humiliation．I visited his thatched cottage in Chengdu and imagined the hardship he endured： the loneliness, the cold, and the hunger．Yet, hardship didn't kill his spirit, and his great poetry reflects his inner strength．

    　　Internet users may find that giving Du Fu the business is entertaining, but it cannot diminish his greatness．And that enduring image of greatness is the one that truly matters．

    (1)

    which expression can be used to replace the underlined part in Para．1?

    [　　]

    A．

    getting along very well with his business

    B．

    getting busier and busier

    A．

    Positive．

    B．

    Critical．

    C．

    Doubtful．

    D．

    Neutral．

    B．

    Du Fu is no longer a famous poet．

    C．

    Du Fu is getting the business．

    D．
