25、

Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. Du Fu, known as the Sage of Poetry, lived and wrote in the eighth century, and his work is still available to modern Chinese readers. Du Fu, in fact, is still widely quoted (引用) in China today, and he has had a great influence on Chinese poetry in the past 1,200 years. However, the poet’s complete works weren’t unavailable in English translation in the past.

Conant University Professor Stephen Owen, who spent eight years on The Poetry of Du Fu, a 3,000-page translation published by De Gruyter, has completed the first English translation of the complete works of Du Fu.

Because Du Fu, like Shakespeare, is known for great width — in subject, in the way he uses language to pass on different registers (不同场合用的语言和文体) (see “Out with the Sake, In With the Wine”) and layered (多层次的) meanings — he is one of the most challenging poets to translate. Chinese poetry, a literary tradition in which tenses are absent, pronouns rare, and the use of the singular and plural forms are hard to understand, is well known for seeming ambiguous (模糊不清的) at times. Within that tradition, the interpretation of Du Fu’s work is especially contested. Owen’s critical edition, in which his translations face the original texts, brings a scholarly aid for the first time to English-speaking readers ready to engage with China’s literary lion.

【1】“Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary

tradition.” means “   ”.

A. Du Fu has the same important literary status as Shakespeare in their own countries

B. Du Fu is not as well-known as Shakespeare in China

C. Du Fu is much more famous than Shakespeare in England

【2】The Poetry of Du Fu is translated into English by .

A. Shakespeare B. Du Fu   C. Stephen Owen

【3】The underlined sentence is closer to the original Chinese version “   ”.

A. 零落栖迟一杯酒，主人奉觞客长寿

B. 莫思身外无穷事，且尽生前有限杯

C. 花间一壶酒，独酌无相亲

【4】Chinese poems are hard to translate because of the following factors EXCEPT   .

A. the use of singular and plural forms

B. too many characters

C. tenses and pronouns 

【5】According to the passage, the following statement “   ” is TRUE.

A. The Poetry of Du Fu is the first English translation of the complete works of Du Fu.

B. There was no English translation of Du’s works in the past.

C. Du’s works are out of style in China today.

26、   When the bell rings at 9 o’clock, He Yue, 18, and a group of other students from Jiangsu Xishan Senior High School, crowd into the student community. They quickly put on their work uniforms and act as various workers. They could be a banker, a postman, a radio host or even a leader.

This is part of a project to create a simulated(模拟的) city run by students. Since last year, He Yue has been serving as an office worker for the student bank named K-bank. Unlike other students, she has a busy “job” during the 40-minute break: help prepare for change, fill in forms and record every business. Sometimes, when a great deal of cash such as class funds and money from the student supermarket is “stored”, she needs to count it carefully and report the deal result in time.

Besides that, they also offer students free-interest funds and provide safe money-stored boxes. If students want to start business like designing bookmarks but have no money to buy materials, they can come here to loan. “The number of business is nearly 20,000 yuan a year,” said He. “With so much money, I’ve gradually learned to be more careful and thoughtful.”

He is not the only one serving the school. Also, some students serve the food test center and other parts of the project including cultural and creative product community, radio stations, roasts....All of these come from real life experiences. “Educators must realize that the top goal of education is not just about scoring good grades, but improving useful skills that would allow students to lead a good life, said Tang Jiangpeng, headmaster of Jiangsu Xishan High School.

27、In today’s world of modern science and medicine, a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular---animal friendship.

It is now well-known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets reduces blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy, amusement and caring friendship.

Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin, Ned, had a parrot（鹦鹉）called Sally, and John used to visit it. When he arrived, Ned used to say, ”Hi, John!”We all know parrots copy what they heat. After a few visits, Sally began saying “Hi, John!” when John came into the room. Then, one day, John turned to the parrot and replied “Hi, Sally!”Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.

Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases, animals are use to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases, they are used to teach children to get on well and share with others, and even to teach them about animals.

If you want to know more about animal helper programs ,you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don’t have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.

【1】Which is NOT mentioned as an illness that animals can help with?

A. Fever B. Cancer C. Heart disease D. Blood pressure

【2】The underlined word “mute” in Paragraph3 is closest in meaning to “_________”.

A. a person who speaks slowly B. a person who does not speak

C. a person who cannot hear D. a person who enjoys talking

【3】How can animals help school children according to the passage?

A. They can make children more popular.

B. They can improve children’s memory.

C. They can increase children’s blood pressure.

D. They can teach children the value of sharing.

【4】Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

（①=Para.（自然段）1   ②=para.2 ③=para.3 ④=para.4 ⑤=para.5 ）

A. ①；②；③；④；⑤ B. ①②；③④；⑤

C. ①②；③；④⑤ D. ①；②③；④⑤
