资源简介 用英语讲述中国传统文化之传统文化阅读Passage 1阅读理解A主题语境:文明先哲 语篇类型:说明文 词数: 336 建议用时:7分钟There are special moments in history when the world throws up a torrent of genius. Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach.Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison.But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the“Axial Age”. It's here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today.Modern humans have been around for roughly250,000 years, and we've lived in complex societies for at least 6,000 years. Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought. From roughly 800 BC to 200 BC, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas.In Greece, we saw the likes of Socrates, Archimedes,Hippocrates, Plato, and Aristotle. In the Middle East,we got Jewish prophets like Isaiah and Ezekiel, as well as Zoroaster in Persia. In India, we got the Buddha and the writing of the Hindu Upanishads. And in China,Confucianism and Daoism came into their own, as well as the famous Sun Tzu.Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese. What could Lao Tzu's Dao and Aristotle’ s Eudaimonia have in common How are Yahweh and Brahman similar For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found.The greatest of these is the move toward what's called“universalism”. Universal truths, universal religion, and universal morals. * It's the idea that there are certain values and rules that ought to apply to everyone,everywhere, no matter the circumstances.The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population. It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty. This means several important things happened.1 What do the underlined words“pales in comparison” in Paragraph 2 mean A. Becomes more obvious. B. Becomes less important.C. Becomes less interesting. D. Becomes more influential.2 What was the Axial Age mainly about A. Great thoughts. B. Political campaigns.C. Scientific achievements. D. Geographic discoveries.3 What does Jaspers try to stress about these great thinkers A. The similarity of their ideas. B. The difference between them.C. The diversity of their thoughts. D. The significance of their contributions.4 What will the author continue talking about in the paragraphs that follow A. The problems with the Axial Age.B. The great influence of the Axial Age.C. The historical background of the Axial Age.D. The representative figures of the Axial Age.参考答案:“轴心时代”这一概念由德国哲学家卡尔·雅斯贝尔斯提出,它指大约公元前800年至公元前200年之间的一段历史时期。这一时期是人类文明发展的一个重要阶段。1. B 词义猜测题。根据下文 It's here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today.可知,作者对下文提到的“轴心时代”的人物评价更高。也就是说,第一段提到的这些人物比起“轴心时代”的先哲们就相形见绌了。2. A 细节理解题。根据第三段的 From roughly 800 BC to 200 BC, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas.可知,“轴心时代”的最大特点是诞生了很多伟大先哲以及他们的杰出思想。3. A 细节理解题。根据第五段的 For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found.可知, Jaspers重点强调了这些“轴心时代”伟大先哲们思想的共同之处。4. C 推理判断题。最后一段作者提到了“轴心时代”的背景————波斯帝国、迦太基帝国,罗马共和国和中国古代的周朝;根据 This means several important things happened.可推知,下文可能会详细讲述这一时期发生的事情。难句分析It's the idea that there are certain values and rules that ought to apply to everyone, everywhere, no matter the circumstances.其理念在于:某些价值观与准则应当适用于每一个人,无论何时何地、无论何种情形。It's the idea是主句, that引导同位语从句,说明前面the idea 的具体内容。 no matter the circumstances是让步状语, 相当于 no matter what the circumstances are。参考译文:历史上有一些特殊时刻,世界会涌现出大量天才。试想,在短短一个世纪内,世界见证了笛卡尔、莱布尼茨和牛顿的诞生,更不用说莎士比亚、弥尔顿和巴赫了。再想想,在同一代人中,人们可能会遇到俾斯麦、维多利亚女王、玛丽·居里和爱迪生。但与德国哲学家卡尔·雅斯贝尔斯所说的“轴心时代”相比,这一切都显得黯然失色。正是在这个时代,我们找到了人类如今思维方式的根源。现代人类已经存在了大约25万年,而且我们在复杂的社会中生活了至少6000年。然后,在短短六个世纪的时间里,思想领域却发生了一场巨大的爆发。大约从公元前800年到公元前200年,所有主要文明都涌现出了拥有惊人思想的非凡人物。在希腊,我们看到了苏格拉底、阿基米德、希波克拉底、柏拉图和亚里士多德等人物。在中东,出现了以赛亚、以西结等犹太先知,以及波斯的琐罗亚斯德。在印度,佛陀诞生,印度教《奥义书》的撰写完成。而在中国,儒家和道家思想形成体系,同时也涌现出著名的孙子(孙武)。近距离观察,这些思想家看似截然不同。老子的“道”与亚里士多德的“幸福论”有什么共同之处 耶和华与婆罗门又有何相似 但在雅斯贝尔斯看来,当你放宽视野将这些思想家视为一个整体时,便会发现其中存在显著的共性。其中最显著的共同点,是都走向了所谓的“普遍主义”,即普遍真理、普世宗教和普遍道德的出现。其核心理念在于:某些价值观与准则应适用于每一个人,无论何时何地,无论何种情形。轴心时代是一个帝国在版图和人口规模上都向外扩张并变得庞大的时代。这一时期有波斯帝国、迦太基帝国、罗马共和国和中国的周朝。这意味着几件重要的事情发生了。Passage 2 阅读理解B主题语境:杰出人物 语篇类型:说明文 词数: 320 建议用时:7分钟In 2005, the four-volume novel Zhang Juzheng won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, one of China's most prestigious literary accolades.It follows the story of Zhang Juzheng, the famous politician who led the reform of the economy and of official evaluations during the reign of the Ming Dynasty Emperor Wanli.* Zhang Juzheng is widely considered to have carried out one of the most important and influential reforms in the history of China, although he is also seen as controversial.His benevolent rule and strong foreign and economic policies are generally considered by Chinese and Western historians to have brought the Ming Dynasty to its peak.At a young age, Zhang was renowned as a prodigy.He passed the preliminary county level keju test at the age of 12 and enrolled for the provincial examinations the following year. But the chief examiner failed him in order to prevent him from becoming arrogant (傲慢的). Finally,he passed the Imperial Examinations at 22. Knowing his first failure was planned by the chief examiner, he did not hate him but was thankful to him for causing such frustration.Zhang's story is closely linked with that of another major character, Emperor Wanli. In 1573, 10- year- old Zhu Yijun became the 14th emperor of the Ming Dynasty,taking Wanli as the title of his reign. It was his mother, the empress dowager Li, who suggested that he take Zhang as a teacher.The relationship between Zhang and Emperor Wanli is complicated. Zhang taught the young emperor and served him. However, as he grew older, the emperor had his own ambitions.After Zhang's death, many people who hated him for his power, began to criticize and condemn him. The emperor had already retaken full control of the country,and sided with the accusers.Two years after his adviser's death, he criticized Zhang's family seriously,confiscating(没收) all their assets and overturning the record of Zhang's reforms.1 What is Zhang Juzheng famous for A. Literary works. B. Military strategies.C. Economic reforms. D. Scientific achievements.2 Why did Zhang Juzheng fail his first provincial examinations He wasn't well prepared.B. He didn't perform well enough.C. The chief examiner hated him for his arrogance.D. The chief examiner wanted to teach him a lesson.3 How did Emperor Wanli's attitude toward Zhang Juzheng change A. From doubt to trust. B. From hope to despair.C. From respect to hatred. D. From gratitude to sympathy.4 What happened to Zhang Juzheng after his death A. He was unfairly treated. B. He was thought highly of.C. His policies were still carried out. D. His name was completely forgotten.参考答案:张居正是明朝著名的政治家、改革家。文章对其一生做了简要介绍。1. C细节理解题。根据第二、三段可知,张居正是明朝伟大的政治家,他所推行的经济和政治领域的改革挽救了当时岌岌可危的明朝。2. D细节理解题。根据第五段可知,在这次省级考试中,主考官故意没有让张居正通过,其目的是让张居正不要骄傲自满。3. C推理判断题。根据最后三段可知,张居正生前是万历皇帝的老师,去世后遭到万历皇帝的打击迫害。由此可推知,万历皇帝对张居正的态度是从尊敬转变为仇恨。4. A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,在张居正去世后,很多大臣攻击谴责张居正,万历皇帝派人没收了张家的所有财产并推翻了张居正的改革制度。由此可推知,张居正去世后遭到了不公正的对待。难句分析Zhang Juzheng is widely considered to have carried out one of the most important and influential reforms in the history of China, although he is also seen as controversial.张居正被广泛认为推行了中国历史上最重要、最具影响力的改革之一,尽管他也被认为是有争议的。is considered是一般现在时的被动语态; to have carried是动词不定式的完成式,作主语 Zhang Juzheng的补足语。连词 although 引导让步状语从句。参考译文:2005年,四卷本小说《张居正》荣获2005中国最具声望的文学奖项之一——茅盾文学奖。这部小说讲述了著名政治家张居正的故事。他在明朝万历皇帝统治时期主导了经济改革和官员考核制度改革。张居正被广泛认为推行了中国历史上最重要、最具影响力的改革之一,尽管他也被认为是有争议的。他施行仁政,推行强有力的外交和经济政策,中外历史学家普遍认为这些举措将明朝推向了鼎盛时期。张居正在年轻时就以神童著称。他12岁通过县级科举初试,次年报考省级考试。但主考官为防止他心生傲慢,故意未让他通过。最终,他在22岁时通过了科举殿试。得知首次落选是主考官有意为之,他并未心生怨恨,反而感激对方让自己经历了挫折。张居正的故事与另一个主要人物万历皇帝的故事密切相关。1573年,10岁的朱翊钧成为明朝第14位皇帝,以“万历”为年号。他在母亲李太后建议下,拜张居正为师。张居正与万历皇帝的关系错综复杂。张居正曾教导这位年轻的皇帝,并为其效力。然而,随着万历皇帝逐渐长大,他开始有了自己的抱负。张居正去世后,许多因他位高权重而憎恶他的人开始对他进行批评和谴责。此时,万历皇帝已完全收回国家的控制权,并站在指控者一边。在这位首辅去世两年后,皇帝严厉处置了张居正的家族,没收其全部财产,并推翻了张居正改革的成果。Passage 3 七选五阅读主题语境:著名诗人 语篇类型:说明文 词数: 248 建议用时:8分钟The Tang Dynasty was the golden age of Chinese poetry. * In the number of poems and variety of forms,in the beauty of imagery and broadness of themes,Tang poetry surpassed that of all ages before the Tang Dynasty. 1 .Li Bai was born in Suiye in Central Asia, which belonged to Tang Empire.He wrote as many as 900 poems. Some of them describe the life of the people; some describe the magnificent scenery he saw; others express his own wishes and sorrows. 2 . That is why he is called a romantic poet.Du Fu was born in Gong County, Henan. He began to write poems about the sufferings of the poor.Deep sympathy for the people is one of the main characteristics of Du Fu's poems. In this respect he surpassed all earlier poets. 3 , for they reflect the political and military situation of his time, and the life and miseries of the people. He pushed the tradition of realism in poetry to a new level.Two years after Du Fu died, another great poet was born. Bai Juyi, the son of a petty official, was born in Xinzheng, Henan.

E 根据下文 That is why he is called a romantic poet.可知,上文应该解释李白被称为浪漫主义诗人的原因,故E项符合语境。3. A 下文 for they reflect the political and military situation of his time 陈述了一种原因,因此上文应该是一种结果————他的诗被称为“诗史”。故A 项符合语境。4. C 根据上文 Bai Juyi wrote more poems than any other Tang poet— nearly 3,000.可知, C项符合语境。C项中的 them 指代上文提到的白居易写的接近3000首唐诗。5. G 根据下文 which ordinary readers can understand可知,白居易的诗歌通俗易懂,故G项符合语境。难句分析In the number of poems and variety of forms, in the beauty of imagery and broadness of themes, Tang poetry surpassed that of all ages before the Tang Dynasty.无论是从诗歌的数量、形式的多样性,还是从意象之美和主题的广泛程度来看,唐诗都超越了此前的各个时代的诗歌。In the number of ... forms 和 in the beauty of... themes是两个介词短语作状语; Tang poetry... before...是主句, 其中 that 指代前面提到的 poetry。参考译文:唐朝是中国诗歌的黄金时代。无论是从诗歌的数量、形式的多样性,还是从意象之美和主题的广泛程度来看,唐诗都超越了此前的各个时代的诗歌。唐代最著名的诗人有李白、杜甫和白居易。李白出生于中亚碎叶城,该城当时隶属于唐帝国。他创作了多达900首诗。其中一些描写百姓的生活,一些描绘他见过的壮丽景色,还有一些抒发他个人的愿望和哀愁。他的诗以不同寻常的想象力和自由的情感表达而闻名。这就是他被称为浪漫主义诗人的原因。杜甫生于河南巩县。他开始创作关于贫苦百姓苦难的诗歌。对民众的深切同情是杜甫诗歌的主要特点之一,在这方面他超越了所有早期诗人。他的诗作被称为“诗史”,因为它们反映了当时的政治军事局势以及百姓的生活与苦难。他将诗歌中的现实主义传统推向了新的高度。杜甫去世两年后,另一位伟大的诗人诞生了。身为小官吏之子的白居易出生于河南新郑。居易创作的诗歌数量超过任何一位唐代诗人——近3000首。其中许多作品探讨重要的社会和政治问题,且显露出杜甫对他的影响。他也写了许多抒发个人情感的抒情诗。他的两首长篇叙事诗《长恨歌》和《琵琶行》是其中最著名的诗作。他的很多诗歌都寓意深刻,语言简洁,普通读者也能理解。Passage 4完形填空主题语境:杰出人物 语篇类型:记叙文 词数:273 建议用时:12分钟* Sun Wu, also known as Sun Zi or Sun Tzu, was an ancient Chinese general and military strategist, who was widely believed to be the author of The Art of War.In 514 BC, Sun moved to the State of Wu to 1 King Helu there.

Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach.Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison.But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the“Axial Age”. It's here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today.Modern humans have been around for roughly250,000 years, and we've lived in complex societies for at least 6,000 years. Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought. From roughly 800 BC to 200 BC, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas.In Greece, we saw the likes of Socrates, Archimedes,Hippocrates, Plato, and Aristotle. In the Middle East,we got Jewish prophets like Isaiah and Ezekiel, as well as Zoroaster in Persia. In India, we got the Buddha and the writing of the Hindu Upanishads. And in China,Confucianism and Daoism came into their own, as well as the famous Sun Tzu.Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese. What could Lao Tzu's Dao and Aristotle’ s Eudaimonia have in common How are Yahweh and Brahman similar For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found.The greatest of these is the move toward what's called“universalism”. Universal truths, universal religion, and universal morals. * It's the idea that there are certain values and rules that ought to apply to everyone,everywhere, no matter the circumstances.The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population. It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty. This means several important things happened.1 What do the underlined words“pales in comparison” in Paragraph 2 mean A. Becomes more obvious. B. Becomes less important.C. Becomes less interesting. D. Becomes more influential.2 What was the Axial Age mainly about A. Great thoughts. B. Political campaigns.C. Scientific achievements. D. Geographic discoveries.3 What does Jaspers try to stress about these great thinkers A. The similarity of their ideas. B. The difference between them.C. The diversity of their thoughts. D. The significance of their contributions.4 What will the author continue talking about in the paragraphs that follow A. The problems with the Axial Age.B. The great influence of the Axial Age.C. The historical background of the Axial Age.D. The representative figures of the Axial Age.Passage 2 阅读理解B主题语境:杰出人物 语篇类型:说明文 词数: 320 建议用时:7分钟In 2005, the four-volume novel Zhang Juzheng won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, one of China's most prestigious literary accolades.It follows the story of Zhang Juzheng, the famous politician who led the reform of the economy and of official evaluations during the reign of the Ming Dynasty Emperor Wanli.* Zhang Juzheng is widely considered to have carried out one of the most important and influential reforms in the history of China, although he is also seen as controversial.His benevolent rule and strong foreign and economic policies are generally considered by Chinese and Western historians to have brought the Ming Dynasty to its peak.At a young age, Zhang was renowned as a prodigy.He passed the preliminary county level keju test at the age of 12 and enrolled for the provincial examinations the following year. But the chief examiner failed him in order to prevent him from becoming arrogant (傲慢的). Finally,he passed the Imperial Examinations at 22. Knowing his first failure was planned by the chief examiner, he did not hate him but was thankful to him for causing such frustration.Zhang's story is closely linked with that of another major character, Emperor Wanli. In 1573, 10- year- old Zhu Yijun became the 14th emperor of the Ming Dynasty,taking Wanli as the title of his reign. It was his mother, the empress dowager Li, who suggested that he take Zhang as a teacher.The relationship between Zhang and Emperor Wanli is complicated. Zhang taught the young emperor and served him. However, as he grew older, the emperor had his own ambitions.After Zhang's death, many people who hated him for his power, began to criticize and condemn him. The emperor had already retaken full control of the country,and sided with the accusers.Two years after his adviser's death, he criticized Zhang's family seriously,confiscating(没收) all their assets and overturning the record of Zhang's reforms.1 What is Zhang Juzheng famous for A. Literary works. B. Military strategies.C. Economic reforms. D. Scientific achievements.2 Why did Zhang Juzheng fail his first provincial examinations He wasn't well prepared.B. He didn't perform well enough.C. The chief examiner hated him for his arrogance.D. The chief examiner wanted to teach him a lesson.3 How did Emperor Wanli's attitude toward Zhang Juzheng change A. From doubt to trust. B. From hope to despair.C. From respect to hatred. D. From gratitude to sympathy.4 What happened to Zhang Juzheng after his death A. He was unfairly treated. B. He was thought highly of.C. His policies were still carried out. D. His name was completely forgotten.Passage 3 七选五阅读主题语境:著名诗人 语篇类型:说明文 词数: 248 建议用时:8分钟The Tang Dynasty was the golden age of Chinese poetry. * In the number of poems and variety of forms,in the beauty of imagery and broadness of themes,Tang poetry surpassed that of all ages before the Tang Dynasty. 1 .Li Bai was born in Suiye in Central Asia, which belonged to Tang Empire.He wrote as many as 900 poems.
