二、阅读理解
A famous American poet Robert Frost once said, “Poetry is what gets lost in translation. ”But XuYuanchong, well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.”
Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature.
Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation.
Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama.
Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said.
16．What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong
A．He mastered at least three foreign languages.
B．He translated about 100 Chinese works into English.
C．He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize.
D．He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses.
17．What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Particular. B．Satisfied. C．Inventive. D．Productive.
18．Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4
A．To recommend Xu’s translation works. B．To stress the charm of Chinese poetry.
C．To show Xu’s great translation skills. D．To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.
19．Which of the following words can best describe Xu
A．Thoughtful and modest. B．Generous and objective
C．Creative and open-minded. D．Devoted and hard-working.
Nuclear expert Peng Shilu once said that he only did two things in his entire life: one was to build nuclear submarines (核潜艇), and the other to build nuclear power plants. Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations.
Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power.
In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction.
During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China.
Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions.
20．What does the author imply in the first paragraph
A．Peng took interest in nothing but nuclear power.
B．Peng was actually a very modest person.
C．Peng played a tiny role in building nuclear power plants.
D．Peng was the most important figure in the nuclear field.
21．What does the underlined part in the 2nd paragraph mean
A．Focus on. B．Know about.
C．Turn to. D．Research into.
22．How does the author develop the passage
A．By following the time order. B．By showing the great importance.
C．By providing some similar examples. D．By explaining the process of research.
23．Which of the following is the proper title for the passage
A．China Honors a Nuclear Power Expert

Mr. Selfridge, the Wisconsin-born retailer who left school at 14, rose to become a partner in Marshall Field's, Chicago. 49 in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department stores.

七、书面表达
64．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a hot and wet day in July. I was driving to the local grocery store because the heat had made my bananas go from yellow to brown overnight. My air conditioner in my car was on high, but it still wasn’t cooling me down. Suddenly, the car in front of me signalled that it was pulling off. I pressed on the brakes and slowed down. Out of the corner of my eye I saw several teenagers standing in the summer sun. They weren’t playing, killing time, or hanging around though. They weren’t drinking, smoking, chatting, or looking at their cell phones. They were working on a porch (走廊).
I recognised them immediately as one of the church work camps. For more years than I can remember these young men and women have volunteered their spring and summer vacations to come here and help repair the homes of poor people. I smiled when I saw them there sweating and working hard to do some good in this world. While the news headlines were so full of murder, hate, and violence in our society, these young people were doing their best to share some love and light with others. In my heart and mind I heard the words once again: “I was hungry and you gave me food; I was a stranger and you welcomed me; I was naked (裸体的) and you gave me clothing; I was sick and you took care of me.”
There is so much good we can do in this life. There are so many people we can help. There is so much love we can share.And as long as there is life, there is more to do. Whether it is repairing a house, sharing a smile, offering a hug, adopting a dog, visiting the sick, giving to charity (慈善), praying for others, sharing a kind word, or doing any act of goodness, every single thing we do is precious in the eyes of people.
