Happy Rain on a Spring Night
Good rain knows its time right;
It will fall when comes spring.
With wind it steals in night;
Mute, it moistens each thing.
O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads;
In boat a lantern looms.
Dawn sees saturated reds;
The town’s heavy with blooms.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
When Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu (712-770) wrote this poem, he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes he went to farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers.
The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good indeed, as it “knows” the right time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to know that it should come in time for the farmer’s busy plowing (农耕) season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night. Unlike the thunder (雷) and lightning of summer storms, the quiet spring rain makes its contributions (贡献) without being known.
In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy, showing that there will be enough rain during the night. Then the poet imagines: tomorrow morning, all of the flowers in the city will bloom (盛开) after the rain.

It was only after her death from disease on May 15, 1886 that Emily Dickinson received recognition for her poetic achievement. Some of her works appeared in 1890, but it was not until Thomas H. Johnson released all her poetry in 1995 that made her works famous. He published 1,775 of her poems in 1955 in a volume named The Poems of Emily Dickinson.
Emily was born in America in 1830. Her family was well known in the community for their contribution to politics and education. Emily lived most of her life with her grandfather who was famous for having founded and Amherst Academy in 1814 and later Amherst College in 1821.
Emily led a reclusive（隐居的）life, but her childhood was a happy one. She had the special right of being educated at some of the most outstanding women schools in her time and devoted herself to reading all kinds of books.
It was during her college years that Emily started writing. Some of her poems were published with the help of her friends. However, when she tried having her poems published for the first time, she failed and her poems were refused by a magazine. This led Emily to believe that the public would never care for her works, and then she never attempted to have any of her works published again. After the Civil War, Emily left from society and had little contact outside of Amherst.
Emily was very concerned with the subject of nature. Her writings are complex, and for many years people have searched for romantic inspiration, but have not yet understood her works. What is clear, however, is that her works don’t just simply describe something in ways of a narrative（叙事的）style.
Without doubt, Emily’s works have greatly influenced and continue to influence modern society. In her time, her writing style was unique（独一无二的）given that it included the use of dashes and capitalized nouns. None of her works rhymed, and she used unusual comparisons when referring to events and situations. This
nontraditional method of writing has made her one of the most innovative（创新的）poets of the 19th century.
30．What can we learn from paragraph 1
A．Johnson published his poems in 1995. B．The poems of Emily Dickinson were published in 1890.
C．Dickinson’s works were very popular when she was alive. D． Dickinson’s poems enjoyed real recognition after she died.
31．What did Emily do during her childhood
A．She studied in good schools. B．She passed her poems to magazines.
C．She spent much time on politics and education. D．She practiced writing with the help of her friends.
32．What do we know about Emily’s poems
A．They are easy for readers to understand. B．They let modern naturalists to study more.
C．They make much difference to modern society. D．They rhyme well and include many comparisons.
33．What can be the best title for the passage

As a way of passing on knowledge, ideas and creativity, books have played an important part in human civilization (文明) .
In ancient times, there were no books, and people passed on their knowledge by telling stories. The earliest forms of the book were made in Egypt around 3,000 BC． These early scrolls (卷轴), made from animal skins, were used to record stories, laws and history. Later, people learned how to write and make paper. They wrote each word by hand. It took a long time to write just one book, making them rare and expensive.
In the 15th century, the invention of the printing press appeared and changed the book-making business and even the world. This made it possible to print books quickly. Even common people could buy and read books.
In the 20th century, computers and the Internet changed the world again. A new kind of book appeared: the electronic book (e-book). E-books have opened up a new world for books. They are quickly changing people’s reading habits. It is easier for people to buy and sell books online and carry the whole library in their pockets. Therefore, information travels faster and farther.
In a word, the history of the book shows the development of human civilization. From ancient scrolls to e-books, the book has changed to meet the needs of humans. In the future, it is possible that books will continue to change. Now, people have many ways to read books. But, more importantly, people should keep on reading!
34．Before books appeared, how did people pass on their knowledge
A．By dancing. B．By singing.
C．Through storytelling. D．Through scrolls.
35．Why were books expensive in the early days of paper invention
A．Because books were made from expensive animal skins.
B．Because writing one book by hand needed a lot of time.
C．Because the paper was expensive at the beginning.
D．Because people were busy inventing the printing press.
36．What change have e-books brought to humans according to the passage
A．People can read books conveniently anytime for their small sizes.
B．E-books have made it difficult to buy and sell paper books online.
C．People’s reading habits have become faster but less enjoyable.
D．E-books cannot provide the same reading experience as paper books.
37．What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph

Happy Rain on a Spring Night
Good rain knows its time right;
It will fall when comes spring.
With wind it steals in night;
Mute, it moistens each thing.
O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads;
In boat a lantern looms.
Dawn sees saturated reds;
The town’s heavy with blooms.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
When Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu (712-770) wrote this poem, he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes he went to farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers.
The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good indeed, as it “knows” the right time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to know that it should come in time for the farmer’s busy plowing (农耕) season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night. Unlike the thunder (雷) and lightning of summer storms, the quiet spring rain makes its contributions (贡献) without being known.
In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy, showing that there will be enough rain during the night.
Then the poet imagines: tomorrow morning, all of the flowers in the city will bloom (盛开) after the rain.
26．The poet Du Fu died when he was ________ years old.

C．To show the farmer’s busy work. D．To tell the right time of rain coming.

It was only after her death from disease on May 15, 1886 that Emily Dickinson received recognition for her poetic achievement. Some of her works appeared in 1890, but it was not until Thomas H. Johnson released all her poetry in 1995 that made her works famous. He published 1,775 of her poems in 1955 in a volume named The Poems of Emily Dickinson.
Emily was born in America in 1830. Her family was well known in the community for their contribution to politics and education. Emily lived most of her life with her grandfather who was famous for having founded and Amherst Academy in 1814 and later Amherst College in 1821.
Emily led a reclusive（隐居的）life, but her childhood was a happy one. She had the special right of being educated at some of the most outstanding women schools in her time and devoted herself to reading all kinds of books.
It was during her college years that Emily started writing. Some of her poems were published with the help of her friends. However, when she tried having her poems published for the first time, she failed and her poems were refused by a magazine. This led Emily to believe that the public would never care for her works, and then she never attempted to have any of her works published again. After the Civil War, Emily left from society and had little contact outside of Amherst.
Emily was very concerned with the subject of nature. Her writings are complex, and for many years people have searched for romantic inspiration, but have not yet understood her works. What is clear, however, is that her works don’t just simply describe something in ways of a narrative（叙事的）style.
Without doubt, Emily’s works have greatly influenced and continue to influence modern society. In her time, her writing style was unique（独一无二的）given that it included the use of dashes and capitalized nouns. None of her works rhymed, and she used unusual comparisons when referring to events and situations. This nontraditional method of writing has made her one of the most innovative（创新的）poets of the 19th century.
30．What can we learn from paragraph 1
A．Johnson published his poems in 1995. B．The poems of Emily Dickinson were published in 1890.
C．Dickinson’s works were very popular when she was alive. D． Dickinson’s poems enjoyed real recognition after she died.
31．What did Emily do during her childhood
A．She studied in good schools. B．She passed her poems to magazines.

C．They make much difference to modern society. D．They rhyme well and include many comparisons.

As a way of passing on knowledge, ideas and creativity, books have played an important part in human civilization (文明) .
In ancient times, there were no books, and people passed on their knowledge by telling stories.
