1.鲁迅家里有两个保姆，不知何故，发生了几次口角。鲁迅受不了整天的吵闹，竟病倒了，晚上经常失眠。隔壁的俞芳小姑娘问道：“大先生，你为什么不喝止她们 ”鲁迅微笑着说：“她们闹口角是因为彼此心里都有气，虽然可以暂时压下去，但心里那股“气”是压不下去的，恐怕也要失眠，与其三个人或两个人失眠，那么还不如让我一个人失眠算了。
2.名流免不了被邀请作演讲，鲁迅也不例外。他演讲时旁征博引，妙趣横生，常常被掌声和笑声包围。一次，他从上海回到北平，北师大请他去讲演，题目是《文学与武力》。有的同学已在报上看到过不少攻击他的文章，很为他不平。他在讲演中说：“有人说我这次到北平，是来抢饭碗的，是“卷土重来”；但是请放心，我马上要“卷土重去”了。一席话顿时引得会场上充满了笑声。
3.有一次，鲁迅的侄女在鲁迅家作客，吃晚饭时，她问道：“你和爸爸哪儿都象，就是有那么一点不象。“哪一点不象？”鲁迅问道。“爸爸的鼻子又高又直，你的鼻子又扁又平。”侄女说。“你不知道，”鲁迅笑了笑，“小时候，我鼻子跟你爸爸的是一样的，只是后来才变扁变平了的。”“那是为什么呢？”侄女不解地问。“那是到了后来，我住的环境比较黑暗，到处碰壁，所以把鼻子都碰矮了!”鲁迅说。
4.广州的一些进步青年创办了南中国文学社，希望鲁迅为创刊号撰稿。鲁迅说：“文章还是你们自己先写的好，我以后再写，免得有人说鲁迅来到广州找青年来为自己捧场了。”“我们都是穷学生，如果刊物第一期销路不好，就不一定有力量出第二期了。”文学社青年说。“要刊物销路好很容易，”鲁迅风趣而又严肃地说，“你们可以写文章骂我，骂我的刊物也是销路好的！”
5.鲁迅很喜欢吃糕饼糖果等甜食。有一回，人家送了柿饼给他，他喜欢得不行，藏起来自己偷偷享用，舍不得给别人吃！只有在女士来做客时，才“大方”地拿出来，因为女士们胃口小，只能吃个一两片而已！他还能吃辣椒。在江南水师学堂读书时，有一次他期末考试成绩优异，学校发给他一枚金质奖章，鲁迅没有把奖章作为自我炫耀的标牌，却懂得实惠，跑到鼓楼街把它卖了，买一大串红辣椒回来。每读书至夜深人静、天寒人困之时，就摘下一只辣椒来，分成几截，放进嘴里咀嚼，直嚼得额头冒汗，眼里流泪，嘘唏不已。只觉周身发暖，睡意顿消，于是捧书再读。
6.叶永蓁曾问鲁迅，为什么阿Q是地地道道的中国人，却要取个外国名字呢。鲁迅幽默地说：“阿Q光头，脑后留一条小辫子，这个Q字不正是他的滑稽形象吗？”
7.有个女师大的学生，未经家长允许，竟和别校一男生去逛了公园。她父母知道后，找到学校大吵大闹，指控校方管教不严。那位封建死板的校长“老小姐”，像泼妇一样斥责女学生：“太不像话了!”鲁迅正好经过那里，得知原委后，诙谐地说：“现在风和日丽，这么两位青年学生一块逛公园，有什么不好 那些公园青年人都不准去逛，难道都得成了老太婆、老头子才能去逛吗 ”
8.鲁迅辞厦门大学教授赴广州中山大学任教前，厦门大学校长林文庆为鲁迅饯行，宴席上有资本家在座。林说：“厦大是私立大学，谁出了钱，谁便可以说话。”鲁迅从袋里掏出一个铜板说：“我捐给厦大一个铜板，我要说话。”林闻之语塞。
9.1934年，国民党北平市长袁良下令禁止男女同学同泳。鲁迅看不惯，说：“同学同泳，偶尔皮肉相触，有碍男女大防。不过禁止以后，男女还是同吸着天地间的空气。空气从这个男人的鼻孔呼出来，被那个女人的鼻孔吸进去，又从那个女人的鼻孔呼出来，被另一个男人的鼻孔吸进去，简直淆乱乾坤。还不如下一道命令，规定男女老幼诸色人等，一律戴上防毒面具，既禁空气流通，又防抛头露面!”说着还模拟戴着防毒面具走路状。听讲的人笑得前仰后合。
10.20世纪30年代，一些作家的主观主义毛病很厉害。一次，有人请鲁迅谈谈这一问题，鲁迅没有多说，只讲了两个故事：其一，有个农民，每天都得挑水，一天，他忽然有所感悟道：“皇帝用什么挑水吃的呢 ”后又自言自语：“一定用金扁担的！”其二，有个农妇很想吃柿饼，于是她就想：“皇后娘娘是怎么享福的呢 一定是一觉醒来就下令，快拿一个柿饼来吃吃！

Mark Twain: father of American literature
On the night of Nov 30, 1835, a boy named Samuel Clemens was born in Florida, US. Many years later, the world would know this boy as Mark Twain.
Mark Twain is one of the greatest US writers of all time. Some people even call him the father of American literature.
Like many US writers of his day, Twain had little school education. As a teenager, he worked as a printer. Later, he worked as a riverboat pilot, miner and freelancer for newspapers. These experiences gave him wonderful writing material.
Mark Twain is considered the greatest humorist of his age. His jokes go to the roots of human nature. In 1873, Twain released a book called The Gilded Age. The book made fun of the very wealthy people of the time.
Besides humor, Twain developed a unique writing style that was very American. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885 in the US) describes the adventures of a boy, Huck Finn, and a black slave, Jim. Twain used dialects in the novel, making the character’s speech sound like real Americans: using local dialects, newly invented words, and regional accents.
Twain’s writing style has influenced many writers. “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn,” Ernest Hemingway wrote in 1935.
In 1910, Twain died of heart disease. But his brilliance keeps on shining to this day.

Remember honest Zhou
He is known as the father of modern Chinese literature. But his influence has gone beyond literature to the world of ideas, arts and politics. No wonder Chairman Mao Zedong once called him “the sage of modern China”.
Oct 19 is the 80th anniversary of the death of Zhou Shuren, commonly known for his pen name Lu Xun. Today his writing is still widely read and several of his stories and essays are included in China’s public school curriculum.
As one of the leaders of the New Culture Movement (1915-1923), Lu Xun is known for making honest comments on Chinese institutions, culture and customs.
Take the story From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study for example. The writer wrote about his youth from his playground Baicao Garden to his school the Sanwei Study, where a respected teacher instructed him in Chinese classics. The name “sanwei”, which translates as “three flavors”, refers to comparisons of different types of reading to different types of foodstuffs. Confucian classics are like rice. History books are like dishes. And literature is like sauce and seasoning.
It was in this strict traditional learning environment that he started to form a solid understanding of Chinese feudal society.
So when he wrote his first short story, A Madman’s Diary, he declared war against the broken society. The story made a huge splash in China’s literary world when it was published in 1918 for being among the first to use colloquial language together with the hard-to-read classical language that “serious” authors were meant to write in at the time. The story also turned heads for its extremely critical take on the downside of Chinese tradition, which Zhou compared to cannibalism.
Three years later, another important story, The True Story of Ah Q, was published. It saw Lu Xun look at the Chinese psyche at the time. The writer criticized it through Ah Q, a peasant who always considers himself superior to others even as he is humiliated and finally executed in the end. This characterization was on-the-nose enough that the phrase “the Ah Q spirit” is widely used even today.
“In all of Chinese literature, Lu Xun is … a sharp observer of the era he lived through, and a remaker of language and form,” commented The Guardian newspaper.

（21-22八年级下·广东广州·期末）Many people think of traditional arts, they think of music. And, in China one of the most famous traditional artists is Tan Dun.

At the age of nineteen, he heard Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony(贝多芬第五交响乐) for the first time and decided to be a composer(作曲家). When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing.

Oct 19 is the 80th anniversary of the death of Zhou Shuren, commonly known for his pen name Lu Xun. Today his writing is still widely read and several of his stories and essays are included in China’s public school curriculum.
As one of the leaders of the New Culture Movement (1915-1923), Lu Xun is known for making honest comments on Chinese institutions, culture and customs.
Take the story From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study for example. The writer wrote about his youth from his playground Baicao Garden to his school the Sanwei Study, where a respected teacher instructed him in Chinese classics. The name “sanwei”, which translates as “three flavors”, refers to comparisons of different types of reading to different types of foodstuffs. Confucian classics are like rice. History books are like dishes. And literature is like sauce and seasoning.
It was in this strict traditional learning environment that he started to form a solid understanding of Chinese feudal society.
So when he wrote his first short story, A Madman’s Diary, he declared war against the broken society. The story made a huge splash in China’s literary world when it was published in 1918 for being among the first to use colloquial language together with the hard-to-read classical language that “serious” authors were meant to write in at the time. The story also turned heads for its extremely critical take on the downside of Chinese tradition, which Zhou compared to cannibalism.
Three years later, another important story, The True Story of Ah Q, was published. It saw Lu Xun look at the Chinese psyche at the time. The writer criticized it through Ah Q, a peasant who always considers himself superior to others even as he is humiliated and finally executed in the end. This characterization was on-the-nose enough that the phrase “the Ah Q spirit” is widely used even today.
“In all of Chinese literature, Lu Xun is … a sharp observer of the era he lived through, and a remaker of language and form,” commented The Guardian newspaper.

9．词义猜测题。根据“It saw Lu Xun look at the Chinese psyche at the time.”可知，《阿Q正传》中鲁迅在审视中国人的心灵，在当时中国社会破烂不堪的背景下，鲁迅用阿Q来表达对这种社会和人心灵的批判，即可推断划线单词意为“批判”。故选D。
10．主旨大意题。本文通过总分总的结构介绍了鲁迅作为中国现代文学最有影响力的作家之一，创作了许多著名的文学作品，并通过这些文学作品来揭露当时现实的社会，使其影响力不仅仅存在于文学领域，对现实社会的影响力也是巨大的。故选A。

（21-22八年级下·广东广州·期末）Many people think of traditional arts, they think of music. And, in China one of the most famous traditional artists is Tan Dun.
Tan Dun was born in a small village near Changsha, Hunan in 1957. He spent his early childhood with his grandmother. He worked as a violin player and arranger for a Beijing Opera troupe(京剧团). At the age of nineteen, he heard Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony(贝多芬第五交响乐) for the first time and decided to be a composer(作曲家). When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing. In the middle of 1980s, Tan Dun had a further study on music at Columbia University. Since then, he has lived in New York.
Tan Dun once said in an interview that he only studied Eastern music before the age of twenty, and after twenty he started to be educated in Western music. And by the age of thirty, he deeply understood both traditions. The educational experience gave him the power to create excellent works that connect the traditional and the modern, the East and the West.
Tan Dun has two great inspirations(灵感) for his music. The first is to join together Western and Chinese music. For example, his music for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 came from an old Chinese song and used both traditional Chinese and Western musical tools. His second is to use natural sounds in his music. For example, he created a piece called The Water Concerto in 1998. All the sounds used in the music are made with water.
With his music, Tan Dun tries to find the balance of the music between the East and the West as well as the music and nature.

A．In 1957. B．In 1976. C．In 1980. D．In 1998.

My favourite book
Good books are valuable treasures. Among all the books I’ve read, the Monkey King is my favourite book.
The Monkey King is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West. He is not a normal monkey. In fact, he is brave enough to fight with any bad person and he can always win the fights. So I like to read it.
The book mainly talks about three things. First of all, it tells us why the monkey can make 72 changes and what different animals and objects he can change into. Secondly, the book shows us how the monkey uses his magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear. Last but not least, the book tells us how the monkey fights with bad people. I like to read this part very much because the monkey always tries his best to win the fights.
The book teaches us to be brave when we are in trouble. And it also tells us to keep fighting to help the weak. Most importantly, it tells us to keep trying in our lives and never give up.

I like American country music. I like it because it can remind me that the best things in life are free—laughter, friends, family and the beauty of nature and the countryside. I have introduced it to my classmates. They are also interested in listening to it.
I have learned a lot from my favorite book and music. We should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. What’s more, we should be kind to each other and trust one another.

【答案】例文：
Where there is a will, there is a way
Have you heard of the saying “Where there is a will, there is a way” It means if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will eventually find a way to do it well. The important point is that you must have the will to achieve success.
Take me for example. Speaking English used to be difficult for me. In Grade 7, I couldn’t speak English clearly and my classmates always laughed at me. With my English teacher’s help, I made plans to improve it. I read English texts aloud for an hour every morning. I also made a foreign friend online. I talked to her twice a week. She helped me correct the way I spoke English. Day by day my spoken English improved a lot. Last month I won first prize in my school’s English Speech Contest.
This experience has taught me that nothing is too difficult as long as you make the decision to do it, just the saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way”.
