三、阅读理解(原创)
(插花艺术)In my history class, we studied the Song Dynasty (960—1279). I learned that scholars (文人) during that time had four types of leisure activities: arranging flowers, hanging scrolled paintings, brewing tea and burning incense (焚香). Our history teacher gave us some fun homework: Choose one of these four things and do it ourselves. Try to learn more about the Song Dynasty.
I chose flower arrangement. Roses were my main choice. I used eucalyptus (桉树) leaves and some other flowers as decorations(装饰). In order to make it look more ancient, I used a tea set as a vase. It seemed so old-time.
The process of arranging flowers was also a way to communicate with nature. When I chose a flower, I had to decide which part to keep and which part to be left out. When I decorated my room with my flower arrangement, I felt fresh and warm.
This was really an exciting and interesting practice. Not only did I experience the elegance of Chinese traditional culture and the aesthetics (美学) of ancient Chinese life, but also I learned to center on the present. Arranging flowers requires a peaceful heart. This is the part I love best about the culture of the Song Dynasty.

【选材理由】 本文介绍的是作者从书中获得了丰富的知识和乐趣,因此他鼓励大家多读书。本文旨在引导学生多读书,读好书,从而成为一个更加优秀的人。
【长难句分析】 The Ugly Duckling told me that although the duck was ugly, it did not give up the love of life and finally became a white swan.
译文:《丑小鸭》告诉我,虽然那只鸭子长得不好看,但它并没有放弃对生活的热爱,最终变成了一只白天鹅。
分析:该句为主从复合句。 主句为“The Ugly Duckling told me”,that引导一个宾语从句。that引导的宾语从句仍是一个主从复合句,其中主句为“it did not give up the love of live and finally became a white swan”,although引导的是让步状语从句。
三、1~5 BDDBC
【选材理由】 本语篇类型为记叙文。本文的主题语境涉及“人与自我”主题下的“自我认识,有意义的学校生活”主题群。语篇主要讲述的是作者的一项历史作业——插花。
【答案与解析】
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段“I learned that scholars (文人) during that time had four types of leisure activities: arranging flowers, hanging scrolled paintings, brewing tea and burning incense (焚香).”可知,宋朝的文人有四种休闲活动:插花、挂画、点茶和焚香。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段“In order to make it look more ancient, I used a tea set as a vase.”可知,为了让插花看起来更古老,作者用了一件茶具当花瓶。
3.D 段落大意题。根据第三段可知,这一段主要讲述的是插花是一种与自然沟通的方式,所以第一句为本段主题句。
4.B 词义猜测题。根据“...the elegance of Chinese traditional culture and the aesthetics (美学) of ancient Chinese life...”可知,elegance和后面的aesthetics相呼应,故elegance与beauty意思相近。
5.C 文章意图题。通读全文可知,这篇文章是为了告诉读者作者从插花中得到的感悟。
【长难句分析】 1.When I chose a flower, I had to decide which part to keep and which part to be left out.
译文:当我选择一朵花时,我必须决定哪些部分该保留,哪些部分该去掉。
分析:句子主干是“I had to decide which part to keep and which part to be left out”,句中“疑问代词+to do”结构作decide的宾语。
2.Not only did I experience the elegance of Chinese traditional culture and the aesthetics (美学) of Chinese life, but also I learned to center on the present.
译文:我不仅体验到了中国传统文化的优雅和中国生活的美学,也学会了专注于当下。
分析:本句是“not only...but also...”引导的部分倒装句,not only 置于句首时,其后的句子通常要用部分倒装形式。

Happiness in My Life
Happiness is important in our life. In fact, happiness is always around us if we put our heart into it.
I'll never forget one thing. One day, I had a bad mark at a math exam. I was afraid to meet my parents. But when I went home later, my parents knew what had happened, and they said to me, “It doesn't matter. Remember we'll be always beside you when you need help. We believe you can do better next time.” I was moved and made up my mind to work harder and harder. At last, I made great progress.
I feel happy. Whenever I'm in trouble, I can feel my parents' love. I want to be a good child and the pride of my parents.
