Sometimes the vocabulary is “oldfashioned” or “poetic” in style; often phrases are so compact (紧凑的) and economical that it is difficult to get across; and, not least, a full appreciation of a poem and all its associations requires a deep knowledge of Chinese literature and history. However, with help even a beginner can get to know some Chinese poems and benefit greatly, not only by learning new vocabulary and characters, but by becoming acquainted with one of the richest and most beautiful Chinese literary forms.A good poem to start off with is Jing Ye Si (Quiet Night Thoughts) by Li Bai (Li Po). This wellknown poem can be found in the Penguin Collection of Li Bais and Du Fu (Tu Fu)s poetry translated by Arthur Cooper, the poem along with his translation is presented below.Chuang qian ming yue guang，Yi shi di shang shuang.Ju tou wang ming yue，Di tou si gu xiang.Before my bedThere is brightlit moonlightSo that it seemsLike frost on the ground; Lifting my headI watch the bright moonLowering my headI dream that Im home.Ideally you should get hold of a recording of the poem by a native speaker so that you can hear the sound of the words and phrasing of the lines before they read it. If you focus on listening first, they will be more likely to notice and appreciate the special cadences (节奏) and rhythms used when Chinese poetry is recited (背诵) quite different from the sound of ordinary conversational Chinese.Then study the text, in both pinyin and Chinese characters, and play the recording again so that you can try following the text as you listen.Next you will need to go through the poem line by line: you may recognize simple words such as yue (moon), but you may want to know the translations of less common words. As well as learning new words and studying characters there is also one or two grammar points you can bring out: for example, in chuang qian and di shang, you have illustrations (例证) of the Chinese preposition following its noun (unlike English)In Chinese culture the moon, especially the full autumn moon, very often symbolizes family reunion and celebration. The use of light and weather words here moonlight and frost is very visually evocative (引起回忆的): although the language is simple, it is easy to imagine the poet lying on his bed in the moonlit room.Try to memorize the poem, using the recording of a native speaker as a model. It is an achievement to learn some Chinese poetry by heart and you will never again be at a loss when asked to perform at a Chinese gathering!语篇解读：本文通过李白的静夜思介绍了中文古诗在汉语学习中的作用，以及如何利用古诗学习汉语。4For a beginner to learn Chinese, the difficulty in learning classical Chinese poetry lies in the following EXCEPT _.Athe oldfashioned vocabularyBthe compact and economical phrasesCthe knowledge of Chinese literature and historyDa lack of good translations of poems by Li Bai and Du Fu解析：选D细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知，初学汉语的人学习古诗的难处在于：古诗中有大量的古代词汇和紧凑的短语，需要了解中国的文学和历史。但不包括李白、杜甫的诗歌翻译材料。5Which of the following is the correct order to learn a Chinese poem?aFollow the text as you listen.bListen to its reading by a native speaker.cStudy pinyin and Chinese characters in the text.dRecognize simple words and bring out some grammar points.AcbadBbcadCbcda Dadcb解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章第三段和第四段可知。学习中文古诗首先要“get hold of a recording of the poem by a native speaker so that you can hear the sound .”对应是b。然后“study the text, in both pinyin and Chinese characters”对应c。接着是“try following the text as you listen”对应a。最后是第四段的“As well as learning new words and studying characters there is also one or two grammar points you can bring out”对应d，故答案选B项。6What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?AThe full moon always symbolizes reunion and celebration.BIf you cant remember the poem after learning, youll be at a loss.CPeople at a Chinese gathering are likely to ask others to perform.DThe grammar in English is totally different from that in Chinese.解析：选C推理判断题。由文章最后一段最后一句中“you will never again be at a loss when asked to perform at a Chinese gathering”在中国聚会中当别人要求你表演一个节目时，如果会背古诗，你就不会感到束手无策，故聚会中别人可能会要求你表演节目。7What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?ATo give an introduction to classical Chinese poetry.BTo compare classical Chinese poetry with its translation.CTo emphasize the importance of learning classical Chinese poetry.DTo guide beginners to learn Chinese through classical Chinese poetry.解析：选D写作目的题。根据全文内容可知，文章第一段讲古诗学习对汉语学习的好处，第二段讲你能发现古诗及翻译的书籍，后面的四段则讲如何学习古诗以及学古诗的成就感，答案选D项。CKrubera Cave in the western Caucasus Mountains is the deepest known cave in the world. An international team prepared to descend into Krubera. The team members hoped to be the first cavers to reach a depth of 2,000 meters, brought five tons of equipment and other necessities with them, and established camps at key locations along the route. They worked for up to 20 hours each day.In the third week, progress was blocked at 1,775 meters by a sump a cave passage filled with water that gives cavers few options. There are basically three techniques available: dive through it, empty it, or go around it. Gennadiy Samokhin dove to the bottom but was disappointed. “No chance to get through，” he said. Searching for a way around the sump, Garcia Dils risked entering a waterfall of near freezing water and discovered that his dry suit had holes in it. “The water was so cold I lost the feeling in my fingers，” he said later. He, too, was unsuccessful.Finally, two teammates found a way around the sump through a tight passage they called the Way to the Dream. The team was exhilarated. The passage led to yet another sump at 1,840 meters. After a short test dive, Samokhin emerged, smiling. There was a promising passage, he reported. But it would have to wait. After nearly four weeks, with supplies running low, the team had run out of time and would have to return to the surface.Four weeks later, a team of nine Ukrainian cavers led by Yuri Kasjan went back to Krubera. Following the path opened by the previous team, they reached the sump at 1,840 meters relatively quickly. After much searching, a pit (坑), later named the Millennium Pit, was discovered that allowed them to pass the 2,000meter depth. More pits and passages led them to 2,080 meters, a spot they named Game Over. But the caving game is never over. Deeper caves will probably continue to be discovered and call out to be explored.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。文章讲述了探洞穴者对世界上最深的洞穴库鲁伯亚拉洞穴进行探索的过程。8Why did the team return to the surface after nearly four weeks?AThey were lacking in supplies.BThey had achieved their goal.CThey couldnt go through the sump.DThey gave their task to Yuri Kasjans team.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After nearly four weeks, with supplies running low, the team had run out of time and would have to return to the surface”可知，因为物资逐渐短缺，探洞穴者才被迫返回地面。9What does the underlined word “exhilarated” probably mean in Para.3?ACheerful. BPowerful.CConfused. DExhausted.解析：选A词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“two teammates found a way around the sump through a tight passage they called the Way to the Dream”可知，两名队员找到了通过水坑的通道，所以他们很高兴，故选A项。10Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AGame Over was discovered at 2,000 meters.BThe Way to the Dream begins at 1,840 meters.CThe Millennium Pit passed the 2,080meter depth.DSamokhin found a way around a sump at 1,775 meters.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“progress was blocked at 1,775 meters by a sump”以及第三段中的“two teammates found a way around the sump through a tight passage”可知，Samokhin在1 775米处找到了绕过水坑的通道。11What is the text mainly about?AThe features of Krubera Cave.BFamous caves around the world.CA journey of exploring Krubera Cave.DThe importance of exploring Krubera Cave.解析：选C主旨大意题。本文讲述了探洞穴者对世界上最深的洞穴库鲁伯亚拉洞穴进行探索的过程，故选C项。DGrowing up in Puerto Rico, our family was not different from so many others.

When we visited our family in the countryside a trip that took about two hours in a car, with five children fighting as to who would get a window or the front seat we would break into a song, and somehow the trip would turn into one full of happiness and fun.

I remember the many hours of work. I was facing issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race.

The music showed my familiar rhythms, and the words spoke to my heart. I had found a space to express, celebrate, and share my culture in Philadelphia.
