The finale (终场) of the hit show's second season was shown on Feb. 7 this year.Wu Yishu, 16, who studies at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, came out on top. In an earlier episode (一集) , Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section entitled “Feihualing〞. The game's theme was “yue〞,meaning “moon〞or “month〞 in Chinese. She recited the lines from the Classic of Poetry, the earliest collection of poems in China: “In July, the crickets (蟋蟀) are in the field. In August, they are in the yard. In September they are at the door. In October, they enter and crawl under our beds.〞“I really admire her knowledge of poems,〞 said Huang Zijin, 16, a Senior 2 student from Ningb o High School in Zhejiang Province. “The first time I saw her wearing traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks. She fulfills all my fantasies about classic Chinese women's talents. What's more, she always appears so calm throughout the show, which is very unusual for her age.〞As the old saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance.〞“Learning poems isn't about winning or losing. The power of poetry lies in shaping one's view of life and developing one's inner world,〞 said Li Bo, an expert guest at the Chinese Poetry Conference's second season.When it comes to teaching people about poetry, Li Dingguang, the show's academic advisor, suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic (美学的 ) and emotional sides, and guide the students to lose themselves in the poems' rhythmic (有节奏的) and rhyming lines.“Although the amount of ancient Chinese poetry in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased, many students still learn them for exams,〞 Li Dingguang told China. org. cn. “Therefore, it's important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry.〞语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)?Shouldn't we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why”and“how”questions. According to McLean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbr ella is walking proof of McLean's statement.“If I had not heard the sto ry of the windshield wiper's invention, ”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York C ity. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a builtin device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama. Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?16. By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are________.A.beneficial, because their inventors are famousB.beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC.not useful, because their inventors are less famousD.not useful, though their inventors are famous17. Professor Joan McLean's course aims to________.A.add colour and variety to students' campus lifeB.inform students of the windshield wiper's inventionC.carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD.prepare students to try their own inventions18. Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was________.A.not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB.inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC.due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD.not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures19. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A.How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B.How to Design a Builtin Device for Cleaning the Window?C.Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D.Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?BOnce many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family out from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life?Today I decided to look u p the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave”. As I read on, it also said “a person who is good and noble ”.That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local WalMart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed me by, I said, “How are you today?” Most of the t ime that would be no big deal, but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time.Having been near “the end of my rope”, after my marriage of twenty yearsended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get enough courageto end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in themail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderfulcard probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life andbecame a hero.Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possiblysave a life just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is thatbecoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor.20.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. Why Should You Be a Hero?B.What Exactly Is a Hero?C.I Am a HeroD.Everyone Is a Hero21. From the first paragraph we know that ________.A. the woman was just the one from the family I pulled outB.one of my stories prevented the woman's son from ending his lifeC.the woman couldn't help crying because I had saved her lifeD.the writer was called a hero who had saved a family from an accident22. The underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 4 mea ns the behavior that is________.A. polite and respectfulB.brave and fearlessC.smart and considerateD.cute and kind23. After the writer got divorced, ________.A.he devoted all his life to helping the poor B.he led a very happy lifeC.he led an extremely unhappy and uncomfortable lifeD.he found much pleasure in supporting the homeless24. According to this passage, which of the following can be considered as thebehavior of a hero?A. Holding a door open for someone.B.Sending someone a wonderful card.C.Keeping writing stories for children.D.Being kind to someone who has a hard time.课时作业(十)Ⅰ.1.A 从语境看,句子讲述的是过去的事情,因此第一空要用一般过去时;第二空要用形容词delightful作定语修饰things,表示“令人愉快的事情”。
Module 4 Which English Fine Arts Western Chinese and Pop Arts(建议用时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解A(2017·安阳模拟) For people who suffer from many different mental or social problems, thereare treatments that range from direct medication to all kinds of therapies(治疗)aimed at improving their state of mind. Music therapy, helping people through their responses to music, is one of the most enduring and successfulof these treatments.Music therapy is mostly used to help people with psychological problems. It is used when patients suffer from depression; when patients have difficulties socializing properly, and for children with educational or behavioral problems. It is also used alongside conventional medicine to help motivate patients suffering from severe physical problems.Essentially, music therapy can be divided into three different kinds. The simplest is where patients listen to a piece of music while they are performing another task that they would normally find difficult. Examples include children with learning disabilities or stroke victims performing painful exercises with music on in the background. Alternatively, discussions about music compositions are used to explore difficult personal topics by therapists that use their patients’responses to music.The other two kinds of music therapy are more directly interactive. In the first, therapists use their musical skills to develop the musical ideas their patients come up with about particular themes. In the second, therapists are teachers while the patients experiment directly with music or some kind of sound making.Remarkably, all three of these techniques are extremely effective. Many studiesreport significantly improved healing in sufferers of serious diseases when treatment is combined with music therapy. Although no one is sure why, it seems that music is a universal cure.【文章大意】事实证明, 音乐疗法起到非常有效的作用。
