Tang Dynasty poets had sung for three centuries in different tones.They included many well?known poets living in the Tang period,such as Li Bai,Du Fu,Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin.
Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty has collected more than 48,900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets.But it didn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty,poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight.Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield.People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.
Tang Dynasty poets wrote poems to win their fame and also to mould their temperament.They poured out deep feelings for their friends and criticised injustice in the world through poems.
In the Tang Dynasty scholars must be poets.The nobility and common people were their readers.Poets recited poems,songstresses sang poems and other ranks of people,including old women and children,could also read some Tang poems.The atmosphere had affected those foreigners who visited the country at that time.As a result,Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries.Sentimental people were overwhelmed with admiration for it.
Tang poetry serves as a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature.It's a miracle in the history of culture of mankind.The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory.It inherited Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times,blended with the cream of other ethnic peoples and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world.
Tang poetry wasn't the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people.Philosophy and religion,building and sculpture,calligraphy and painting,and music and dance all gained their peaks in development.Tang poetry was a symbol of these creations and a spiritual emblem of the time.
It has become a way of life that has affected the Chinese people for generations.
4.We can conclude from the passage that .
A.only people in the Tang Dynasty created poems
B.in total there were four famous poets in the Tang Dynasty
C.the Tang Dynasty probably existed for about three centuries
D.in the Tang Dynasty most common people were poets
5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

They lived thousands of miles apart,and both died in 1616.This has led to a lot of studies comparing their works,which are still important to this day.
To mark the 400th anniversary of Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare's deaths,an exhibition called Dialogue Across Time and Space:Homage to Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare is being held across 26 Chinese Cultural Centres in different countries from Sept. 1 to December.
Shakespeare's plays are always found in the British school curriculum,while Tang's best?known opera,The Peony Pavilion(《牡丹亭》),continues to be performed worldwide.
Both were “great men in the circle of world drama”,according to Aoki Masaru,who put the works of Shakespeare and Tang together in his 1943 book A History of Chinese Literary Thought.
Both shared a love for a journey of self?discovery.The difference is that Shakespeare's works show people of all backgrounds and classes,while Tang's dramas come from a more aristocratic(贵族的) background.Tang's lines were sung mostly in family theaters.Shakespeare,however,had to sell tickets to whoever would buy them.
That probably affected their writing styles.Though few can touch Shakespeare's range and richness of works,there is one area in which Tang's works may have been better.That's in the use of dreams,not only to tell a story,but also to explore ideas.
The Peony Pavilion is set in the world of the characters' dreams,especially Du Liniang,the young lady who has not seen or gotten to know Liu Mengmei when she falls in love with him.After Liu has dreamed of her,he finds her portrait(肖像画) three years after her death and can't stop thinking about her.
But for Du,a dream is a path to the freedom that young women of ancient China normally didn't have—the freedom to love someone without their families getting in the way.
Shakespeare also famously used the stage to look at Philosophy(哲学) in A Midsummer Night's Dream(《仲夏夜之梦》).But in a sense,the dream was Tang's stage.
7.We can conclude from the article that .
A.Shakespeare's works are much more popular among students than people of other age groups
B.the difference in their writing styles is rooted in their living environments
C.Shakespeare never used the idea of dreams in his dramas
D.Tang's works are more about the lives of the upper class
8.According to the article,dreams in Tang's works .
A.represent Tang's love for freedom
B.are only used to express Tang's support for aristocratic families
C.make the characters seem mysterious and interesting
D.reflect problems young women in ancient China had to face
9.The writer wrote this article mainly to .
A.describe studies of Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare
B.make a comparison between Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare
C.explain why Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare are still famous today
D.explore the use of dreams in Tang and Shakespeare's writings
D

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A young painter lived in a small narrow house, living on painting portraits before he became famous.
One day,a rich man came by and found the painter painting so well that he liked it and asked him to draw a portrait.They agreed on 1,000 dollars.
After a week, the portrait was done.The rich man came to take the painting as agreed on.At this moment, the rich man hit on an evil idea of bullying the unknown young artist.He thought,“The man in the painting is me.If I don't buy this painting,no one will buy it.Why should I pay so much money for it?” So the rich man said to the young painter,“I will only pay 300 dollars to buy this painting.”
The young painter was stunned, for he had never come across such things.He argued strongly on just grounds, expecting the rich man to keep the agreement and to be a trustworthy man.
“I can only pay 300 dollars to buy the painting.Speak no more.” The rich man thought he would win for sure, “I ask you at last, will you sell it 300 dollars or not?”
The young painter knew the rich man deliberately went back on his words, so he felt irritated.He said in a firm tone, “No, I would prefer not to sell the painting rather than to be humiliated by you.Today you break your word and someday you must pay 20 times for it.”
“What a joke!20 times will be 20,000!I won't be stupid to pay 20,000 dollars to buy the painting!”
“Well, we'd better wait and see,” the young artist cried to the rich man who left angrily.
After the stimulation(刺激) of such an incident,the painter moved out of this sad place, studied after acknowledged teachers and worked hard night and day.More than a dozen years later, he finally blazed a new way and became popular in the circle of art.However, the rich man had forgotten the artist's painting and words the next day.
Paragraph 1:
The famous painter decided to hold an exhibition at the very place.
Paragraph 2:
The rich man hurried there, apologized a million times and requested that he buy back his portrait.

Dear Zhang Ke,
I've got your e?mail and think it a wise choice to buy an electronic dictionary.
To begin with,an electronic dictionary much smaller than the common one is convenient to carry.Additionally,you can get what you want in it immediately.Also it has several dictionaries and you can store material as much as possible because there is RAM in it.What makes it outstanding from others is that it can give you a vivid,clear and correct pronunciation.
I do hope my suggestion will be useful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
【故事续写】
Paragraph 1:
The famous painter decided to hold an exhibition at the very place.Many people were attracted to the exhibition to admire the great works.Interestingly, they found something really ridiculous and funny.One of the paintings entitled “Thief” was priced at 20,000 dollars.Strangely,the man in the painting looked exactly the same as the rich man.Words spread and at last they reached the rich man's ears.He recalled the incident and the painter he broke his word with.Suddenly he realized the painter was humiliating him in this way.
Paragraph 2:
The rich man hurried there, apologized a million times and requested that he buy back his portrait.The painter turned his back to him and stood there speechless with many visitors around.The rich man felt so embarrassed and said, “It is my own fault and I deserve it!” Then the painter turned around,handed him the painting and told him it was a free gift for him hoping that he could be a man of good faith.Anyway, for the painter, it was this incident that motivated him to work hard and made him what he was today.
