26、 As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. “We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” said Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, a new BBC documentary(纪录片) broadcast on April 7.
Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard(巫师) Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.
The one-hour film talks about the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the government of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity(繁荣), inclusiveness (包容) and cultural achievement. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion of 755 broke out in the country, Du, the former civil servant(文职人员) at the Tang court, had to take his family on the road as refugees(难民), and put up with starvation and suffering. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages.
“Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone at reflecting(反映) history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are mirrored in his own life and spiritual journey,” Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China, told China Daily.
Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed By Autumn Gales , he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles. ” “That’s why he was honored as a Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times.
【1】According to Para.2, we know Ian McKellen is___________.
A.a narrator in the documentary B.a big fan of Du Fu
C.the director of the documentary D.a British wizard
【2】Why Du Fu is so valuable a poet in the mind of Chinese people?
A.Because he experienced the ups and downs of Tang Dynasty.
B.Because he never stopped and wrote about 1,500 poems.
C.Because his poems are completely kept over the ages.
D.Because his poetry is a good reflection of history.
【3】The poem mentioned in the last paragraph is intended to _________.
A.explain Du Fu’s position in the government
B.show Du Fu’s concern about ordinary people
C.tell the readers what a difficult life Du Fu lived
D.show Du Fu’s intelligence in writing a poem
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Du Fu’s works gain popularity home and abroad.
B.Chinese literature becomes a hit in the UK.
C.China’s Poet Sage appears on the screen in the UK.
D.British people fall in love with Chinese poetry.

28、“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼）in the closet (衣橱）?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet ?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it. ”
“Why pick on my family ?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “ Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes ? ” “ Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “ Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica's mother sank into a faint(晕倒），waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as l mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad. ” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They're both crazy,” she thought.
【1】According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ________.
A．a family honor
B．a family secret
C．a family story
D．a family treasure

B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.

【3】Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was ________.

B．frightened
C．injured
D．surprised
【4】Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.
A．they were crazy

29、 Brazil is the greatest football nation in the world. There are 170 million Brazilians. How many of them are football fans? 100 million! All of them think that they know all about football. This makes life very difficult for the Brazilian team managers. When things go bad for the Brazilian team, the newspapers would demand that the team manager should leave his job. “If we win, they put me in heaven,” a manager once said. “If we lose, they put me in hell (地狱).”
You can’t escape football in Brazil. There are football matches on every street and beach. On television, the results of football matches come before the main news programs. There are six television channels (频道) in Rio de Janeiro. On Sundays each channel shows a different football match.
Brazil is not the richest country in the world, but the government spends lots of money on football. It cost more than one billion pounds to prepare for the 1978 World Cup. That’s 10 pounds for every Brazilian man, woman, and child. And many Brazilians don’t earn as much as 10 pounds a week. Is it worth it?
“Brazil must have a great football team,” says one journalist. “If it costs one billion pounds, that’s all right. If the government doesn’t give us a good team, then it will become unpopular. Football is more than a game in Brazil.”
Football is more than a game in Brazil. This is certainly true in its largest city, San Paulo. The most popular team is Corinthians. Corinthians’ fans are the most loyal and emotional in Brazil. When Corinthians win, production in the Sao Paulo car factories increases by fifteen per cent. When they lose, it drops. At one time Corinthians won the national championship for the first time. For four days fans danced and sang in the streets.
Why are people so loyal to one football team? What makes a football fan? One man says, “Without Corinthians my life would be sad. Corinthians bring some joy and excitement into my life. We all need that, don’t we?”
【1】In paragraph 1, what the manager said means _______.
A.he is respected by newspapers B.he will probably be killed by fans
C.he is judged on his team’s results D.it’s difficult for him to get good scores
【2】All the following statements about the Brazilians and football are true EXCEPT _______.
A.all the Brazilians know all about football
B.football has an influence on politics(政治) in Brazil
C.the Brazilians spend a lot of money on football
D.Corinthians’ fans are always supporting their team
【3】Some people danced and sang in the streets for four days in Sao Paulo because _______.
A.production in the Sao Paulo car factories increased
B.Corinthians won a national football championship
C.Corinthians won the World Cup
D.the newspapers put a team manager in heaven
