If there was a drought and the water dried up, the golden ox would appear. It would spew mouthful after mouthful of fresh water until the lake was full again.One summer, there was a dry spell which lasted for eighty-one days. Even the lake bed was visible. Each day, the people longed for the golden ox.They were sitting by the lake one morning waiting, when they suddenly heard a moo as the golden ox appeared, rising from the shallow water on the lake bed. Shaking its head and flicking its tail, it spewed water until the lake was soon full.News of this marvel spread very quickly. When the magistrate heard of it, he held his sides and chuckled gleefully, Its a living treasure! If I present it to the Emperor, hes certain to heap riches and honours on me! so he ordered his servants to drive everyone to the lake and make them drain it. Kill all who refuse! Finally, the lake was dry. On the bed lay the golden ox. It rose up, lifted its head and snorted. Water gushed out of its mouth at the magistrate, engulfing him in huge waves.The lake quickly filled with water. The golden ox never appeared again and the lake was never dry.(from Folktales of the West Lake) 第三页练习参考答案1.Without armed struggle，neither the proletariat，nor the people，nor the Communist Party would have any standing at all in China2.Old and new cadres should learn from and help each other，to make up for each other、deficiencies3.We must cultivate the ability to analyse and solve problems4.This matter needs immediate action.5.He can hardly open his mouth without talking shop6.For many years there has been serious unemployment in that country7.After her friends heard about her family difficulties，they offered her an helping hand.8.Every river has its upper，middle and lower reaches9.People use science to understand and change nature10.We must earnestly help them solve their problems of work and study11.The minority nationalities in our country number more than thirty million12.I didnt go to town yesterday both because of the nasty weather and the fact that I was not feeling myself. 13.After being good neighbours for years，they cant bear to part from each other 14.

It is one of the citys famous historic sites.What interests people most about the bridge are the stone lions carved on the columns of the bridge railings. Each column is topped with a big lion surrounded by many smaller ones. The smallest is only a few centimeters high. Some of them stand on the heads or backs of the bigger ones; some lie under their feet or nestle in their embrace. Others reveal only half a head, or only a mouth, vivid and lively they are depicted in different postures-sitting, lying standing or crouching.A saying in Beijing goes: The stone lions on Lugou Bridge are too many to be counted. The stories told about them are most interesting. One says that one of the stone lions is always swaying so that it cant be seen clearly and counted. Another says that it is impossible to count the lions exactly because some are hidden and cant be seen. And if an exact count was really made, all the lions would run away.These are mere legends, no doubt. But there are such a lot of stone lions on the bridge that nobody made an accurate count in the past. It was not until 1961 that the cultural offices ascertained their exact number as altogether 485. 第四页练习参考答案1.Chians successful explosion of its first atom bomb caused tremendous repercussions throughout the world2.The study of Marxism-Leninism will arm the intellectuals ideologically.3.Exchange of ideas is a vital necessity.4.Communists should be the first to bear hardships and the last to enjoy comforts5.The mastery of language is not easy and requires painstaking effort6.They do not know a thing about factory work，nor about farm work，nor about military affairs7.In fact the destruction of peace in that region resulted from their intervention.8.

Shortly afterwards a Japanese pilot who looked in his sixties came on aboard. Bowing courteously to Captain Fang, he said in fluent Chinese: In token of our friendship for the Chinese people we have designated berths one to ten in Yamashita wharf of our harbour as the area where Chinese ships will enjoy priority in berthing. He laid particular stress on the two characters for Chinese. The Captain cordially held out both hands and said smilingly: Thank you! At that moment, the meaning of the two characters for Chinese suddenly dawned on me with full force. Only with a strong motherland are we entitled to such warm reception while abroad. Later on, I learned from Captain Fang that in many other Japanese seaports there are berths where Chinese ships enjoy similar priority and are invariably received and sent off with cordiality. Though far from our motherland, we feel all the while that she is behind us. We shall always orient our hearts towards our motherland.(from A Young Seamans Diary) 第五页练习参考答案1.Their recent achievements showed the great progress made.2.You had better ask those better informed.3.The communique said that the two sides had unanimous views on all problems discussed.4.It is the only solution possible.5 .All the commune members，young and old，went out to cut wheat6.It is the best thing imaginable.7 .He was the only person awake at the moment8.

While our ship lay at anchor in Japanese harbours, I did see for myself rows upon rows of skyscrapers, overpassing express ways and splendid supermarkets, which dazzled my eyes and filled me with admiration.However, there was, one revealing incident which touched me and left a deep impression on my mind. Before lunch, I saw the Japanese stevedores busy carrying chemical fertilizers into the hold. Even though there was a lot of modern mechanical equipment here for loading and unloading, to my amazement I spotted among the workers some who looked in their sixties still doing strenuous manual labour. During the break after lunch I had a chat with an old worker who was slightly bent. I am 64 now , he said, but. to keep body and soul together, I have to sell my labour like this. Heaving a deep sigh, he pointed his finger to one side of the wharf and said: Look! Anyhow, I am luckier than they. Lifting my eyes I caught sight of three 50-or 60-year-olds, their hair dishevelled and their faces haggard and begrimed, foraging in a garbage can for the scraps dumped by the stevedores. The dismal expression in their eyes made my heart go out to them. At the very sight of them I yearned all the more keenly for my own socialist motherland.(from A Young Seamans Diary) 第六页练习参考答案1.Much has been said on this question.2.Passengers are requested to fill in the customs declaration form here3.New factories and hydro-electric stations of small and medium sizes are being built everywhere in our country4.

This morning Political Commissar Tang asked one of our passengers , an overseas Chinese who had lived in Japan for many years to tell us about Japan. She is over forty, cheerful by nature and very sociable. She said that she has a single sister who is over fifty and used to work as an accountant at a restaurant in Japan. Not long ago, this sister of hers purchased a plot and planned to build a house on it, where she could live when she became too old to work any longer. But as the expenses for building houses kept rising, she came to see that she could never save up enough money for that purpose. If she should sell the plot the tax alone would eat up half of the selling price. She found herself in a dilemma. After repeated discussions between themselves, the two sisters made up their minds to return to their motherland as the best security for their old age. For they are confident that Chinas four modernizations programme will surely succeed. Her words set me thinking. If these two overseas Chinese are so hopeful about the prospects of our modernization, how can we young people who have grown up in new China be any less so? With our ship approaching the estuary of Changjang River, my heart is throbbing with emotions. Oh, dear motherland, you are my motherland after all, be you ever so poor and backward for the time being. As a Chinese youth I have the duty to work industriously and conscientiously to turn you into a land of prosperity and happiness. 第七页练习参考答案1.Again he lapsed into silence.2.Mr. Luo didnt like the noise here3.The days passed quickly，but she worked as hard asever.4.In his absence，I felt very lonely5.The policy of the people is against civil war6.I am glad to see you safe and sound.7.Their supply line was thin and winter was coming on.8.He coughed with embarrassment.9.When you called on me this morning，I was still in bed.10.His lack of consideration for the feelings of others angered everyone present11.Travelling alone，she was sitting still in the corner of the carriage12.It is gravity that keeps us from falling off the earth13.He involuntarily raised his hand to scratch his head14.The thought of returning to his motherland never deserted him.15.Hell certainly come unless he is ill16.She felt too dizzy to remember the way she had come17.He doesnt know it，does he？” No，he doesnt”18.He was never tired of harping upon his arguments once more whenever an opportunity presented itself19.His hint escaped me20.Im afraid you are mistaken.Toward the end of 1949, I returned to Beijing, my native place, after an absence of fourteen years. Though away for so long, I had never stopped thinking about it for a single day. No matter where I was, I would like to write my novel with Beijing as its background. For in my minds eye, Beijing appears to me more intimate, more tangible and more affectionate than any other place I actually see. That is a plain fact.Now, I have been in Beijing for a year. Whatever I have seen during this period has confirmed the fact that our new government is, all in all, a government by the people and for the people. Let me cite a few examples. In the south of Beijing, there was an open ditch known as Dragon Beard Ditch. What a fascinating name! However, it was actually a most stinking ditch. Clustered on both sides of the ditch were broken-down shanties where the labouring people lived in a foul, nauseating atmosphere all the year round. Yet for many years nothing was done to this ditch, as it only ran through a slum area. On several occasions, People did raise funds for its drainage, only to find themselves defrauded of their money by the eactionary officials. Early last summer, the peoples Government undertook to build, alongside the ditch, a covered sewer pipe. The project was completed in the autumn, and the old ditch was filled up. You can well imagine how grateful the people feel towards the Government!(from Dragon Beard Ditch by Lao She )第八页练习参
