青鸟
第四幕
狄蒂尔和梅蒂尔一直在寻找青鸟，他们一行已经踏过了记忆之土、夜宫和森林，现在抵达了幸福之园。
第二场　幸福之园
(一群幸福跑进大厅，唱着：“他们来了！他们看见我们了！”并围着孩子们欢快地跳起舞来。而后，一个头领模样的人走向狄蒂尔，对他伸出了手。)
幸福　你好，狄蒂尔！
狄蒂尔　你是……？
幸福　你认不出我了吗？
狄蒂尔　(有点尴尬)哎呀，是认不出……可我不记得见过你们中的任何一位啊。
(其他幸福哄然大笑。)哟，我们正是你唯一了解的东西啊！我们一直在你周围！我们同你一起吃喝，一起醒来，一起呼吸，一起生活呢！
狄蒂尔　噢……不过我想知道你们的名字叫什么……
幸福　我是你家里幸福的领头人；这些是住在你家的其他幸福。
狄蒂尔　那么，我家里有很多幸福吗？
(所有的幸福都哄然大笑。)
幸福　你们听他在说些什么！他家里是不是有很多幸福？！嘿，幸福多得都要挤不下了！先介绍一下我自己：我是健康幸福，虽不是最漂亮的，但却是最重要的。这个是纯净空气幸福，他几乎是透明的。这个是敬爱父母幸福。这个是蓝天幸福，他自然是身穿蓝衣。这个是森林幸福，你每次走到窗前都能看见他……
狄蒂尔　不好意思，请问你知道青鸟在哪儿吗？
幸福　他不知道青鸟在哪儿！(家里所有的幸福哄然大笑。)
狄蒂尔　(恼火了)是，我就是不知道。有什么好笑的。(又爆出一阵笑声。)
幸福　他不知道，好吧，还能怎么样呢？他和大多数人一样都不可笑……
第六幕
孩子们(狄蒂尔和梅蒂尔)没能找到青鸟，只得同这些神奇的朋友们告别，返回家中。到家后，他们正要和父母讲述自己的奇遇，邻居进来了。邻居生病的女儿想要狄蒂尔的宠物鸟好久了，但直到现在他也不愿意把鸟送人。
第二场　醒来
(邻居贝兰戈上场，是一位拄着一根拐杖的矮小的老妇人。)
狄蒂尔妈妈　你家小姑娘身体怎么样了？
邻居　马马虎虎，还起不了床。可我知道什么能治好她。
狄蒂尔妈妈　对，我也知道；得用狄蒂尔的鸟。喂，狄蒂尔，这下你总该把鸟送给那可怜的小姑娘了吧？
狄蒂尔　我的鸟！咦，它变成了青色！可它是我的小斑鸠啊！颜色怎么比我离开的时候变得更深了！天啊，它肯定是我们一直在找的青鸟！我们走了那么远，没想到它就在这里！给，贝兰戈太太，快把它带给你的小姑娘吧。
邻居　真的？就这样白白送给我了？她该多开心啊！(亲吻狄蒂尔。)
……
(后来，邻居牵着一个小姑娘上场。小姑娘怀抱着狄蒂尔的斑鸠。)
邻居　你们看到这个奇迹了吗？她现在能跑能跳，甚至能飞奔呢！(把小姑娘推到狄蒂尔怀里。)快去谢谢狄蒂尔。
(狄蒂尔笨拙地亲吻了小姑娘以后，两人对视，什么也没说；随后，狄蒂尔轻抚着斑鸠的头。)
狄蒂尔　它的青色够深吗？
小姑娘　是的，我很喜欢它。
狄蒂尔　我还见过更青的鸟，但是你知道的，那些纯青的鸟，真是怎么捉也捉不住。
小姑娘　没关系的；这只就很美了。
狄蒂尔　它吃过东西了吗？我给你看看它是怎么吃东西的 ……
(他想从小姑娘手里接过青鸟，小姑娘本能地拒绝；在争抢的过程中，斑鸠逃掉并飞走了。)
小姑娘　(绝望地大喊)它飞走了！
狄蒂尔　没关系的，不要哭。我会把它抓回来的。(走到舞台前，面向观众致辞。)你们若是有谁找到了它，能请你们好心地把它归还给我们吗？为了以后的幸福，我们需要它。

A
My dad has watermelon-size muscles and enormous hands.He doesn't seem like the kind of person who bakes great bread，but he does.Every Saturday he bakes silently by himself.The rest of the week，he's a car mechanic whose job involves complex lifting，tightening，shaking and hitting.People tend to think of cars as metallic (金属的) members of the family，and Dad seldom lets them down.
I kind of understand Dad's baking routine.Though he's into the work，customers' expectation and heavy work weigh him down.When working on the dough (生面团)，he returns to a life of ease.
I had been feeling stressed out myself since I didn't qualify for the swim team.I thought Dad had found that and he asked me to help and headed to the kitchen.
Though I was surprised，I followed him.Dad took out his mixing bowl，telling me to mix ingredients while he added them.Then he showed me how to process the dough—repeatedly stretching，pounding and folding it.It took ten minutes and a surprising amount of energy to finish.But what came next was harder and more surprising—doing nothing.We put the dough back into the bowl.It took an hour to rise.Then we pressed and stretched it，put it into pans and waited another hour for it to double.“It's hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven，but if you do，the bread will be tough，” Dad explained.
When the dough rose at its own pace，time seemed to slow down.We could do nothing to speed that.As I accepted that，I stopped watching the clock and started enjoying the time.My father taught me how to bake，but I learned something more—appreciate the slow pace of time and let the bread rise.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过描述作者与父亲一起烤面包的经历，不仅展示了烤面包的过程，还反映了作者从这一过程中领悟到的人生哲理——学会欣赏时间的缓慢节奏，让事情自然而然地发展。
1.What can we learn about the author's father
A.He is very talkative.
B.He takes no interest in baking.
C.He is expert at his work.
D.He doesn't like fixing cars.
解析　C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“People tend to think of cars as metallic members of the family，and Dad seldom lets them down.”可知，人们往往把汽车当作家里的金属成员，而爸爸很少让他们失望。这表明爸爸在汽车修理工作方面很专业，能够满足客户的需求。故选C。
2.Why does the author's father make bread every Saturday
A.To get relaxed.
B.To kill the time.
C.To pursue his hobby.
D.To learn a new skill.
解析　A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Though he's into the work，customers' expectation and heavy work weigh him down.When working on the dough，he returns to a life of ease.”可知，虽然父亲热爱汽车修理工作，但顾客的期望和繁重的工作让他感到压力很大。而当他处理生面团时，他又回到了轻松的生活状态。由此可知，父亲每周六烤面包是为了让自己放松，缓解压力。故选A。
3.What is the most difficult part during baking bread according to the author
A.Measuring ingredients.
B.Waiting for the dough to rise.
C.Processing the dough.
D.Controlling the temperature of the oven.
解析　B　细节理解题。根据第四段“But what came next was harder and more surprising—doing nothing...‘It's hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven，but if you do，the bread will be tough，’ Dad explained.”可知，作者认为在烤面包的过程中，最困难的是等待面团发酵。在等待的过程中什么都不能做，需要有足够的耐心，而人们往往很难忍住不把面团直接放进烤箱。故选B。
4.What is the suitable title for the text
A.The Secret of Baking
B.Influence of My Father
C.A Bread Lesson
D.Surprising Leisure Time
解析　C　标题归纳题。根据最后一段中的“My father taught me how to bake，but I learned something more—appreciate the slow pace of time and let the bread rise.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者因为未入选游泳队而感到压力大，父亲邀请作者一起烤面包，教作者如何混合食材、处理面团，作者从等待面团发酵的过程中领悟到要学会耐心等待。所以C项最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
B
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry has profoundly influenced society and culture since its publication.The pursuit of understanding has made it a beloved classic，drawing readers of all ages.The story's ability to convey complex philosophical ideas in a simple and accessible way has made it a valuable tool for educators and parents，and it continues to inspire new generations across the globe.
The Little Prince's planet is home to three volcanoes and a rose，which he loves dearly.However，the rose's pride and his inability to understand her love lead him to leave in search of wisdom.His travels take him to various planets，each inhabited by adults who represent different aspects of the human condition.
On the first planet，he meets a King who believes he controls everything，including the stars.The King's authority is an illusion (幻觉)，teaching the Little Prince about the worthlessness of power.On another planet，he encounters a businessman who is busy counting stars，believing he can own them.This encounter highlights the nonsense of materialism.
The Little Prince's journey continues to a planet where a lamplighter works tirelessly，following a set of rules that no longer make sense.This character illustrates the trap of blindly following routines without questioning their purpose.Finally，on Earth，the Little Prince meets a Fox，who imparts the story's most important lesson：One sees clearly only with the heart.What is essential is invisible to the eye.
The Fox's words lead the Little Prince to understand the true value of his rose，not in her physical appearance，but in the deep emotional connection they share.This realization is the story's climax，as it shifts the Little Prince's perspective on love and relationships.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了《小王子》中不同角色象征的哲学主题及核心思想。
5.What lesson does the Little Prince learn from the King on the first planet
A.The importance of authority.
B.The unreality of power.
C.The value of hard work.
D.The necessity of rules.
