三、阅读单选
（一）
Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival for family to pay respect (尊敬) to their ancestors (祖先). People visit their ancestors’ grave sites and offer food, drinks and flowers. There are some Chinese poems showing Chinese history and culture through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of the classic poems in the history of Chinese literature:
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day;
The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way.
Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours
A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers.
In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation of the soul (灵魂) and body, which adds a sad feeling to this poem. The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine (酒) and get away from the sad feeling. Where can I find a good tavern In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction (方向), which describes two people looking far ahead on the rainy day.
In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern. He doesn’t describe its feature on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers’ imagination.
Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside.
36．The Chinese title of this poem is “________”.
A．《清明》 B．《咏柳》 C．《春望》 D．《秋思》
37．The weather on Qingming Festival is always ________.

A．offer food, drinks and flowers to old people
B．pay respect to our ancestors and enjoy the spring

D．find a beautiful place with a lot of flowers around
（二）
Recently, a junior high school sent several students back home because they broke the school uniform（校服）rules. Should students wear school uniforms The Young World magazine held a discussion on this topic（话题）.
Kennedy: The school uniform is very important, because it always reminds me that I am supposed to go out of my way to study hard. It also helps prevent school bullying（欺凌）. If everyone wears the same clothes, it is impossible to laugh at other people’s clothing.
Manson: The uniform has to be earned（获得）through efforts. Students should start school with no uniforms. As they make progress at school, they start wearing it. I always think children need to be proud of their school. The uniform is important for that. So, make students earn it! If they don’t perform well, they should not be allowed to get one.
Moorhead: In my opinion, kids don’t have to wear uniforms. There should be more choices open to kids in education. They ought to develop their own independence and just be themselves. Their personalities would be expressed through their own clothes at school. And different dress could be one way of showing their understanding of beauty. Besides, they make the school lively and colorful.
Patrick: I can see the advantages of wearing school uniforms. They play a very important role in managing schools. However, a school should not depend heavily on uniforms to improve students’ behaviors. Teaching them how to express themselves with confidence（信心）is more important.
41．What does the writer mean to do in Paragraph 1
A．Present an opinion on a subject.
B．Introduce a topic for discussion.
C．Provide a way to solve problems.
42．What is Kennedy in the second paragraph
A．A student. B．A teacher. C．A parent.

My Favorite Traditional Festival
My favorite festival is the Spring Festival. It is one of the most important festival in China which always begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th day. This is a time for family reunions, visiting relatives and friends and exchanging greeting for the coming New Year. It is also a time to ring out the old and ring in the new.
There are various activities in each household to celebrate the spring festival. Days before it, we clean our house with belief that cleaning sweeps bad luck. We also decorate our house with paper cuts and spring couplets. On the eve of the festival, we get together with our family members and have big meals while watching Spring Festival Gala on TV. At midnight, we celebrate the New Year with spectacular fireworks.
I like the Spring Festival because it is the only time in a year that I can sit together with every family member. As we are so busy studying or working. It is such a blissful moment that we look back and look forward to the future. We visit our relatives and friends, wishing each other a happy year and good luck. How happy we are!
