25、判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“A”表示，不符合的用“B”表示。

This famous poem, with four couplets（对句）, was written by Du Fu（712—770, Tang Dynasty）when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful for nature.

The very first word, “Good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification（拟人化）, as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer’s busy season.

When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.

In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.

Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom（盛开）after the rain.

【1】The Chinese title of the poem is “Ye Yu Ji Be”.

【2】The rhyme（韵律）for this poem is ab—ab—cd—cd.

【3】The word “quiet” can be used to describe the rain in this poem.

【4】The sentence “With wind it steals in night” uses personification.

【5】Xu Yuanchong wanted to show that he’s thankful for nature in this poem.

26、   During this summer vacation , I had a 7-day trip in England. On my way back to my motherland China, I spent 48 hours in Dubai, the largest city in the Middle East .

A driver picked me and some other tourists up from the hotel. The views changed as we left the city behind. Our first stop was a large sand pit(坑) . At that pit, people could rent four-wheeled motorbikes and drive around the sand dunes that were hills of sand in the desert.

The dunes spread out as far as the eyes could see. We drove up, down and around them. We stopped for photos and to watch the sun set before heading to the desert camp where dinner was waiting for us.

At the camp, we could choose from several activities to enjoy. Top picks was camel rides. Body painting and taking photos with a falcon(猎鹰) were also fun. Many snacks, drinks and souvenirs were also available to buy. Camels are my favorite animal, so I took a ride. My only disappointment was that the ride wasn’t longer!

In the center of the camp stood a large stage(舞台). Everyone sat on the ground and had a good view of the center of the stage. That night, we belly dancers gave us a wonderful performance on the stage. During the trip in Dubai, I saw many famous buildings and museums. But my trip into the desert was the best part by far.
