Confucius's main interest was to find out ways for the government to do a better job of taking good care of the people. Confucius is what English speakers call him now, but when he was a child his name was Kong Qiu. In Chinese, Confucius is Kung Fuzi. He was born in 551 BC (公元前) in Lu State, China, and his parents were poor, although his family had once been rich. They had gotten into trouble with the king, and he had taken away their money and their land.
And when he grew up, people said he was fair, and polite, and loved to learn things, so his family sent him to the big city, to Zhou, where the Zhou king lived, to go to school. Luckily, while he was in Zhou, Confucius got to know Lao Zi, who was later the creator (创始者) of the philosophy of Taoism (道教).
When Confucius finished school, he went back to his home in Lu and became a teacher there. When he was 35 years old, he tried to get involved in politics (介入政治), and maybe get the Duke of Lu to give him some land and money, but when this idea didn't work out Confucius went back to being a teacher. In his fifties he worked as a chief minister (首席宰相) of Lu, but when he saw that the Duke of Lu was not doing a good job, Confucius gave up and left his city.
Confucius spent the rest of his life travelling from town to town around China with his students and friends, giving advice to different rulers (统治者) wherever he went. Often they didn't like his advice! When he was 67, Confucius went back to Lu, and he died there when he was 72 years old.

Our grandparents seem to have magic powers sometimes. Give them a Chinese lunar calendar, and they will know what the weather will be like days or even months later. What's the secret They are following the 24 Solar Terms (节气), which is an important part of Chinese culture. And on Nov. 30, 2016, the United Nations added it to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)．
In ancient times, most Chinese people made their living on farms. So, weather changes were important for them. Without satellites, the Internet or the weather broadcast's help, Chinese ancient people studied the sun's movement with a sundial(日晷仪). They also paid attention to other natural changes such as air temperature, water and crop growth. As early as the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese ancestors had already established four major solar terms. During the Zhou Dynasty, eight solar terms marking the four seasons were established. Until the Han Dynasty, the present 24 solar terms was established completely. The terms became their guide to farming work. For example, the solar term jingzhe(惊蛰) is when insects wake up from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.
The 24 Solar Terms is honored as China's fifth great invention, after paper making, printing, the compass and gunpowder. Now, people still say, “Do not show your feet after hanlu(寒露). ” Why It's because the solar term hanlu marks the coming of cold days.
11．How did the 24 Solar Terms come into being
A．With the help of satellites.
B．With the help of weather broadcast.
C．By learning from people working on farms.
D．By studying the sun's movement and other natural changes.
12．The underlined word “ancestors” means ________.
A．grandparents B．emperors C．ancient people D．great inventors
13．The 24 Solar Terms can be used for ________.
A．changing weather B．learning Chinese history
C．waking up insects D．guiding people in farming work
14．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．our grandparents have magic powers
B．Jingzhe is regarded as the start of cold winter
C．the 24 Solar Terms was established step by step
D．weather changed more often in ancient times than it does now
15．The saying in the last paragraph shows ________.
A．why hanlu marks the coming of cold days
B．how the 24 Solar Terms guides people in their daily lives
C．when the 24 Solar Terms was honored as China's fifth great invention
D．what are five great inventions of China

They say that "travel is the best teacher" and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would finally become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend (传奇人物) around the world.
16．Which of the following best describes Xu's mother
A．Strict but interesting. B．Supportive and open-minded.
C．Helpful and hardworking. D．Kind but uneducated.
17．Xu preferred walking during his travels because ______.
A．it gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people
B．it helped him to save money and travel for a longer time
C．it allowed him to see and study the environment in detail
D．it was the only way to reach the places he was interested in
18．What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake
A．It was the first travel book ever written in China.
B．It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C．It was mainly about the different people of China.
D．It was only made public after Xu died.
19．What is the best title for the passage
A．Xu Xiake's Life Story B．Xu Xiake's Discovery
C．Xu Xiake's Travelling Experience D．Xu Xiake's Book
20．What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life
a. He went on his first journey.
b. His book was finally printed.
c. He returned to his hometown for the last time.
d. He developed an interest in books about other places.
e. He started managing the family farm after his father died.
A．a-e-d-c-b B．d-e-a-b-c C．d-e-a-c-b D．e-d-a-b-c

And on Nov. 30, 2016, the United Nations added it to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)．
In ancient times, most Chinese people made their living on farms. So, weather changes were important for them. Without satellites, the Internet or the weather broadcast's help, Chinese ancient people studied the sun's movement with a sundial(日晷仪). They also paid attention to other natural changes such as air temperature, water and crop growth. As early as the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese ancestors had already established four major solar terms. During the Zhou Dynasty, eight solar terms marking the four seasons were established. Until the Han Dynasty, the present 24 solar terms was established completely. The terms became their guide to farming work. For example, the solar term jingzhe(惊蛰) is when insects wake up from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.
The 24 Solar Terms is honored as China's fifth great invention, after paper making, printing, the compass and gunpowder. Now, people still say, “Do not show your feet after hanlu(寒露). ” Why It's because the solar term hanlu marks the coming of cold days.

They say that "travel is the best teacher" and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would finally become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend (传奇人物) around the world.
16．Which of the following best describes Xu's mother
A．Strict but interesting. B．Supportive and open-minded.
C．Helpful and hardworking. D．Kind but uneducated.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断。根据文中“But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. ” 但他的母亲有不同的想法。了解到儿子对旅行的热爱，并重视他从这些经历中获得的知识，这位现代思维的女性拒绝让儿子呆在家里。她同意徐每年可以出差三个月，那时农活比较少。可知，徐霞客的母亲是一位有着支持和开放的思想的女士。故选B。
17．Xu preferred walking during his travels because ______.
A．it gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people
B．it helped him to save money and travel for a longer time
C．it allowed him to see and study the environment in detail
D．it was the only way to reach the places he was interested in
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解。根据文中“Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. ” 虽然很有钱，但徐霞客拒绝舒适的旅行，他宁愿步行去几乎所有的地方。这样他就可以对环境进行详细的研究，并对自然世界有一个真实的了解。可知，这使他能够详细地观察和研究环境。故选C。
18．What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake
A．It was the first travel book ever written in China.
B．It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C．It was mainly about the different people of China.
D．It was only made public after Xu died.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解。根据文中“When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. ” 当他的日记在他死后的几年里终于被印刷出来时，很多日记已经被毁或丢失。可知，徐霞客的《徐霞客游记》仅仅是在徐死后才公开的。故选D。
19．What is the best title for the passage
A．Xu Xiake's Life Story B．Xu Xiake's Discovery
C．Xu Xiake's Travelling Experience D．Xu Xiake's Book
【答案】A
【解析】标题归纳题。通读整篇短文可知，这篇短文主要讲述了明代旅行作家和地理学家徐霞客的生平事迹。故选A。
20．What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life
a. He went on his first journey.
b. His book was finally printed.
c. He returned to his hometown for the last time.
d. He developed an interest in books about other places.
e. He started managing the family farm after his father died.
A．a-e-d-c-b B．d-e-a-b-c C．d-e-a-c-b D．e-d-a-b-c
【答案】C
【解析】篇章结构。根据文中“Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. ” 徐霞客小时候就对介绍不同地方的书籍产生了兴趣，并想去旅行；根据文中“When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required. ”可知，他父亲去世后，他开始经营家庭农场；根据文中“So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. ” 于是，在20岁那年，在母亲的支持下，徐第一次出发了，不仅留下了母亲，还留下了他的新妻子；根据文中“He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. ” 他于1641年去世，在最后一次回到家乡后不久；根据文中“When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost.”当他的日记在他死后的几年里终于被印刷出来时，很多日记已经被毁或丢失。可知选项C是正确的：正确顺序是：他对介绍其他地方的书产生了兴趣；他父亲去世后，他开始经营家庭农场；他开始了他的第一次旅行；他最后一次回到家乡；他的书终于印出来了。故选C。

Confucius's main interest was to find out ways for the government to do a better job of taking good care of the people. Confucius is what English speakers call him now, but when he was a child his name was Kong Qiu. In Chinese, Confucius is Kung Fuzi. He was born in 551 BC (公元前) in Lu State, China, and his parents were poor, although his family had once been rich. They had gotten into trouble with the king, and he had taken away their money and their land.
And when he grew up, people said he was fair, and polite, and loved to learn things, so his family sent him to the big city, to Zhou, where the Zhou king lived, to go to school. Luckily, while he was in Zhou, Confucius got to know Lao Zi, who was later the creator (创始者) of the philosophy of Taoism (道教).
When Confucius finished school, he went back to his home in Lu and became a teacher there. When he was 35 years old, he tried to get involved in politics (介入政治), and maybe get the Duke of Lu to give him some land and money, but when this idea didn't work out Confucius went back to being a teacher. In his fifties he worked as a chief minister (首席宰相) of Lu, but when he saw that the Duke of Lu was not doing a good job, Confucius gave up and left his city.
Confucius spent the rest of his life travelling from town to town around China with his students and friends, giving advice to different rulers (统治者) wherever he went. Often they didn't like his advice! When he was 67, Confucius went back to Lu, and he died there when he was 72 years old.

But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would finally become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend (传奇人物) around the world.

Confucius's main interest was to find out ways for the government to do a better job of taking good care of the people. Confucius is what English speakers call him now, but when he was a child his name was Kong Qiu. In Chinese, Confucius is Kung Fuzi. He was born in 551 BC (公元前) in Lu State, China, and his parents were poor, although his family had once been rich. They had gotten into trouble with the king, and he had taken away their money and their land.
And when he grew up, people said he was fair, and polite, and loved to learn things, so his family sent him to the big city, to Zhou, where the Zhou king lived, to go to school. Luckily, while he was in Zhou, Confucius got to know Lao Zi, who was later the creator (创始者) of the philosophy of Taoism (道教).
When Confucius finished school, he went back to his home in Lu and became a teacher there. When he was 35 years old, he tried to get involved in politics (介入政治), and maybe get the Duke of Lu to give him some land and money, but when this idea didn't work out Confucius went back to being a teacher. In his fifties he worked as a chief minister (首席宰相) of Lu, but when he saw that the Duke of Lu was not doing a good job, Confucius gave up and left his city.
Confucius spent the rest of his life travelling from town to town around China with his students and friends, giving advice to different rulers (统治者) wherever he went. Often they didn't like his advice! When he was 67, Confucius went back to Lu, and he died there when he was 72 years old.

And on Nov. 30, 2016, the United Nations added it to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)．

They also paid attention to other natural changes such as air temperature, water and crop growth. As early as the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese ancestors had already established four major solar terms. During the Zhou Dynasty, eight solar terms marking the four seasons were established. Until the Han Dynasty, the present 24 solar terms was established completely. The terms became their guide to farming work. For example, the solar term jingzhe(惊蛰) is when insects wake up from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.
The 24 Solar Terms is honored as China's fifth great invention, after paper making, printing, the compass and gunpowder. Now, people still say, “Do not show your feet after hanlu(寒露). ” Why It's because the solar term hanlu marks the coming of cold days.

They say that "travel is the best teacher" and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would finally become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend (传奇人物) around the world.
16．Which of the following best describes Xu's mother
A．Strict but interesting. B．Supportive and open-minded.
C．Helpful and hardworking. D．Kind but uneducated.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断。根据文中“But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. ” 但他的母亲有不同的想法。了解到儿子对旅行的热爱，并重视他从这些经历中获得的知识，这位现代思维的女性拒绝让儿子呆在家里。她同意徐每年可以出差三个月，那时农活比较少。可知，徐霞客的母亲是一位有着支持和开放的思想的女士。故选B。
17．Xu preferred walking during his travels because ______.
A．it gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people
B．it helped him to save money and travel for a longer time
C．it allowed him to see and study the environment in detail
D．it was the only way to reach the places he was interested in
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解。根据文中“Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. ” 虽然很有钱，但徐霞客拒绝舒适的旅行，他宁愿步行去几乎所有的地方。这样他就可以对环境进行详细的研究，并对自然世界有一个真实的了解。可知，这使他能够详细地观察和研究环境。故选C。
18．What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake
A．It was the first travel book ever written in China.
B．It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C．It was mainly about the different people of China.
D．It was only made public after Xu died.

19．What is the best title for the passage
A．Xu Xiake's Life Story B．Xu Xiake's Discovery

A．a-e-d-c-b B．d-e-a-b-c C．d-e-a-c-b D．e-d-a-b-c
【答案】C
【解析】篇章结构。根据文中“Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. ” 徐霞客小时候就对介绍不同地方的书籍产生了兴趣，并想去旅行；根据文中“When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required. ”可知，他父亲去世后，他开始经营家庭农场；根据文中“So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. ” 于是，在20岁那年，在母亲的支持下，徐第一次出发了，不仅留下了母亲，还留下了他的新妻子；根据文中“He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. ” 他于1641年去世，在最后一次回到家乡后不久；根据文中“When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost.”当他的日记在他死后的几年里终于被印刷出来时，很多日记已经被毁或丢失。可知选项C是正确的：正确顺序是：他对介绍其他地方的书产生了兴趣；他父亲去世后，他开始经营家庭农场；他开始了他的第一次旅行；他最后一次回到家乡；他的书终于印出来了。故选C。
