Ⅴ.阅读理解
There are a thousand Mulan in a thousand people’s eyes. As a traditional heroine in China, Mulan was first documented 1,500 years ago in a poem during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420—589). As the only child who is old enough to join the army, she was against the convention(常规) and laws that women cannot be soldiers, and disguised herself as a man to join the army instead of her weak and aged father.The story of Mulan has been told by generations in different forms since then.
“Mulan’s life path is that of a small town girl setting off into the world, which is very similar to the experiences of some women in modern society. It is also a drive for me to draw this book,” says Ye, who has published five picture books since 2013. Ye says young and capable women with strong characters will identify(识别) themselves with Mulan in her book. “They come to big cities from small towns to pursue their dreams, realise their goals, and improve their family situations. They are just like Mulan,” says Ye.
In her research on Mulan for the picture book, Ye found writers in different times have their own interpretation of Mulan.
“In my eyes, the most important thing is not that Mulan is brave enough to go to the battlefield, but that after so many experiences, she still chooses to return to her home town. The emperor gives Mulan plenty of treasure, but she doesn’t want it, and the most precious thing for her is still her family. That touches me deeply,” Ye says.
In the book, Ye has drawn two rabbits and one phoenix(凤凰) as Mulan’s companions. Ye says the phoenix symbolises the power of women, and the rabbits are a metaphor for the feeling of homesickness.
“Mulan now lives in my heart, and I hope in the hearts of people who like her. Every simple, kind and resolute soul is Mulan,” Ye says.

B.Mulan followed the law and joined the army at that time.
C.The emperor gave Mulan plenty of treasure and she accepted it.
D.Mulan is a woman to go to the battlefield in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
( )28.The underlined word “disguised” probably means “ ” in Chinese.
A.装扮 B.化妆 C.武装 D.着装
( )29.What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A.Mulan is brave enough to go to the battlefield.
B.Many young people like Mulan.
C.Mulan’s experiences influence many modern women.
D.Mulan’s life path touches Ye deeply.

Ⅴ.【主旨大意】 千人眼中有一千个木兰。木兰是中国传统的女主人公,1500年前,在南北朝的一首诗中首次被记载下来。作为家里唯一一位够参军年龄的孩子,她不顾女人不能当兵的惯例和法律,装扮成男人代替自己年迈体弱的父亲参军。从那以后,木兰的故事就以不同的形式在每一代人中流传。在叶对木兰画册的研究中,叶发现不同时代的作家对木兰都有自己的解读,不论怎样,木兰精神一直影响着我们。
27.D 判断正误题。根据第一段中“…Mulan was first documented 1,500 years ago in a poem during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.”可知,木兰不是出生于1500年前而是南北朝时期记载的,故A项错误;根据第一段中“she was against the convention and laws that women cannot be soldiers”可知,木兰违背了女人不能参军的惯例和法律,故B项错误;根据第四段中“The emperor gives Mulan plenty of treasure, but she doesn’t want it…”可知C项错误;根据第一段中“…she was against the convention and laws that women cannot be soldiers, and disguised herself as a man to join the army instead of her weak and aged father.”可知D项正确。故选D。
28.A 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“…she was against the convention and laws that women cannot be soldiers, and disguised herself as a man to join the army instead of her weak and aged father.”可知,她不顾女人不能当兵的惯例和法律,装扮成男人代替自己年迈体弱的父亲参军。disguise意为“装扮”。故选A。
29.C 段落大意题。根据第二段中“Mulan’s life path is that of a small town girl setting off into the world, which is very similar to the experiences of some women in modern society.”可知,本段主要介绍木兰的精神以及现代社会里像木兰一样的女性。故选C。
30.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Ye says the phoenix symbolises the power of women, and the rabbits are a metaphor for the feeling of homesickness.”可知,凤凰象征着女性的力量。故选B。
31.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“The emperor gives Mulan plenty of treasure, but she doesn’t want it, and the most precious thing for her is still her family.”可知,她不想要国王给的金银财宝,对她来说最珍贵的是她的家人。故选D。
