Poems from Tang and Song dynasties, operas from Yuan dynasty, and novels from Ming and Qing dynasties are very famous in China’s history. Today, I’d like to recommend Song of Autumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi(772-842), 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 morning. 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 less than 100 words, he shows a lively picture of his humble cell. However, it also shows how he was pleased 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 sentence, “be fragrant because of my virtues”(斯是陋室, 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.
31. Which dynasty is the poem Song of Autumn written in?
A. Song. B. Yuan. C. Ming. D. Tang.
32. How was autumn in Liu’s eyes at that time?
A. He thought it was a sad time.
B. He thought that autumn was rather cloudy.
C. He thought Spring was better.
D. He thought autumn was a hopeful season.
33. 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 blue sky and a crane.
D. Writing songs according to music.
34. How did Liu feel about living in a humble cell in the writer’s opinion?
A. Strange. B. Unhappy. C. Satisfied. D. Lonely.
35. Influenced by Liu Yuxi, which of the following does the writer think is the most important?
A. To be a respectable man.
B. To live in a big house.
C. To wear beautiful clothes.
D. To gain more knowledge.
【答案】31. D 32. D 33. A 34. C 35. A
【解析】

Now, primary students learn cooking at school. It has been discussed by teachers and parents. Some think that it is a useful skill for students, while others think it’s a waste of time, some even think it’s just a show. But do they really understand cooking?
It’s been said that good cooking is an art form. The truth is that it’s much more than that. Then talking about different foods from all around the world, or cultures and histories of dishes, students are connected to the world and learning history and culture in a new field. Then learning cooking, students measure(称量) materials from time to time, or find oil and water don’t usually mix. Students are also learning maths and science in practice.
The importance of failures in making food is as much as successes. Li Mei, 11, was crazy about the yummy cakes made by her father and wanted to make one on her own. But when taking her cake out, she was frustrated(沮丧的) to find that the cake was hard and black at the bottom. Her father told her when he was 13, he tried to make cakes, but wasted boxes of eggs. Then together with Father, Li Mei found out what had gone wrong and succeeded in making one. Li Mei learned in the failure of cooking, and could be braver to face failures.
Apart from the practical skills, cooking builds character. It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not have tried. Though being good to our health, carrots were hated by 12-year-old Xiao Lei. But he started to love them after he made a salad with them. By cooking, students put down their phones and work together with family members in the kitchen. By cooking, students form the habit of doing labor work. As a part of labor education, cooking is a way to teach kids vital 21st century skills, such as creativity, teamwork and so on. If these skills aren’t taught to today’s students, they might hardly survive in the future.
36. What does the writer think of “learning cooking” in primary schools?
A. It needs better understanding.
B. It’s just a useful skill for students.
C. It’s really a waste of time.
D. It must be canceled as a show.
37. What’s the relationship between cooking and other subjects according to the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
38. What does the writer think of failure in cooking?
A. Cooking can help people avoid failure.
B. There is no failure without success.
C. Failure is as important as success.
D. Cooking is sure to be failure at last.
39. Why does the writer mention the change of Xiao Lei?
A. To show us carrots are good for our health.
B. To encourage kids to work with others.
C. To educate kids to be open to different foods.
D. To teach us how to make a salad with carrots.
40. What does the underlined word vital in the last paragraph mean?

I love snakes, while my mother does not. Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never seen one. Neither has my mother. So where does the fear come from?
To find out the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, cats, flowers and many other things in front of a group of people of all ages, even babies. People found snakes faster than flowers. It wasn’t just snakes. They found “black faces”, another example, spiders(蜘蛛), faster than “safe” things like flowers. It seems we find things that might be dangerous to us faster. Maybe we are born to be afraid of them.
Scientists also found people learned to fear snakes faster. Why did they fear snakes? Most of them said that in their experiences, they were influenced by the scared voice and faces of those who met snakes, but wasn’t bitten by snakes. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it’s dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late.
So why is it important whether we are afraid of snakes or not? It may not matter much to us, but it is really very important to snakes. People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as pandas, but they’re just of the same importance to the environment. Snakes eat insects and mice that are pests(害虫) to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals, so, when we kill snakes, we’re breaking the balance.
How can we reduce our fears to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently. Some volunteer students went on a field trip. With the help of safety tips, everyone could safely touch and hold a snake. It turns out that snakes aren’t so bad when you know the way to stay with them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip weren’t afraid afterwards. In fact, snakes even became some students’ favorite animal. Hmm, maybe I should take my mom on the next field trip.
41. In the writer’s opinion, what are “black faces”?
A. Things make people feel dangerous.
B. Faces of animals in the picture.
C. Things that have black faces.
D. Faces of people in danger.
42. What does the writer mean by saying “we might learn our lesson too late” in the third paragraph?
A. We might never see any snakes.
B. We are not in danger any longer.
C We might not fear snakes any more.
D. We might already be killed by snakes.
43. How do the scientists help people reduce the fear of snakes?
A. By teaching people skills of killing snakes.
B. By driving snakes away through a field trip.
C. By teaching them the right way to stay with them.
D. By giving snakes a chance to show they are good.
44. What can we learn from scientists after reading the passage?
A. Don’t be afraid and find chances in danger.
B. Always remember to give people safety tips.
C. Face failures bravely and never give up trying.
D. Find problems and do research to solve them.
45. Which fits the scientists’ idea best?
People 1._______
So people are afraid of snakes and they 2.______

词句猜测题。分析“After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it’s dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late.”可知，如果我们被蛇咬了才知道它是危险的，我们可能吸取教训太晚了。如果太晚了可能我们可能已经被蛇咬死了。故选D。

任务型阅读
阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。

John: Hello, ChatGPT! I’m John. What can you do to help people? For example, improve their English?
ChatGPT: As an AI(人工智能) language model, I can do many things to help people improve their English. I can offer advice on grammar and vocabulary, help with pronunciation and provide feedback(反馈) on written or spoken English. What’s more, I can take part in conversation with people in English which can help them practice their language skills interestingly and naturally. Would you like me to help you with any problems of your English?
John: No, not at the moment. That sounds even more powerful than some English teachers. So do you think you’ll replace(替代) some human beings in some areas, such as English teachers, news reporters or people who do customer service work?
ChatGPT: No. I don’t think I can replace them completely. Though I can provide useful help in many areas, I am still a machine and there are things only human beings can do. English teaching, news reporting and serving are far more than skills. They are also about feelings, thoughts, cultures and so on. However, I believe that I can be a valuable tool to support and improve the work of human beings in these fields. By working together, better results can be achieved to those we serve.
John: Great. I like your ideas. So my next question is, what advice would you give to human beings in order to be better prepared for the future?
ChatGPT: Good question, John. Here are a few pieces of advice for people to think about. First, develop thinking ability. In a word, instead of copying others’ ideas, you should have your own thoughts. Next, learn to work together with machines. Don’t be afraid of AI, it’s important to know how to work together with machines to improve your own abilities. Then, develop skills only human beings have, like creativity, and empathy(共情). Fourth, keep learning and changing. The world is changing fast and it’s important to stay up to date with the latest development s in technology and other fields. I hope these tips are helpful, John.
