【题目】There was once a King and he wanted to find out who could paint the best picture of peace. And he would offer a prize to the artist. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.
One picture was of a calm(平静的) lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds. Everyone thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged(崎岖的) and bare(无遮蔽的). Above was an angry sky. And it was raining and lightening. Down the side of the mountain, a waterfall fell quickly. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the King looked carefully, he saw behind the waterfall a bush(矮树丛) growing in a crack(裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest(巢,窝). There, she sat on her nest... in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize?
The King chose the second picture. “Because,” said the King, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.”
【1】What did the King want the artists to do?
________________________________________________________________________
【2】What did everyone think of the 1st picture?
________________________________________________________________________
【3】Why did the King choose the 2nd picture?
________________________________________________________________________
【4】把短文第六自然段中画线句子翻译成汉语。
________________________________________________________________________
【5】给短文拟一个恰当的标题。
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
【1】 To paint the best picture of peace.
【2】 That was a perfect picture of peace.
【3】 Because he thought it had the real meaning of peace.
【4】 宁静意味着身处如此多的烦扰之中,而依然能心存安宁。
【5】 Real Meaning of Peace
【解析】
本文讲的是国王寻找关于和平的最佳画作的故事,在评价环节出现了两幅画作,国王却喜欢那副大众不在意的,画面中充满噪音的,喧闹的画作,后来国王以独特的视角做出了解释,认为真正的平和是内心的平和。
【1】句意:国王希望艺术家做什么?文章首句“There was once a King and he wanted to find out who could paint the best picture of peace.”(曾经有一位国王,他想找出谁可以画出关于和平的最佳画作。),所以可以得出国王的目的,这里用不定式结构来表达目的,填To paint the best picture of peace.
【2】句意:大家对第一张照片的看法是什么?原文“Everyone thought that was a perfect picture of peace.”(每个人都认为这是和平的完美图景),从这里可以得出每个人对第一张图的观点,故填That was a perfect picture of peace.
【3】句意:国王为什么选择第二张照片?原文“Because peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work.”(因为和平并不意味着在没有噪音,麻烦或辛勤工作的地方),这句话是国王做出的解释,可填“他认为这幅画拥有和平的真实含义”,填Because he thought it had the real meaning of peace.
【4】“mean”为“意思是”;“those things”指的是“noise, trouble, or hard work”这些烦扰之事,“be calm in your heart”意思是“内心要宁静,要冷静”,整合起来,就是:宁静意味着身处如此多的烦扰之中,而依然能心存安宁。
【5】本文主要讲的是国王寻找关于和平的最佳画作的故事,在评价环节,国王以独特的视角解释了和平真正的含义,所以标题可以选用Real Meaning of Peace。

The Panama Canal --Connecting Oceans
A short canal saves ships thousands of miles
The Panama Canal (巴拿马运河) is an artificial 51-mile waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. The idea for a Panama Canal dates back to the discovery of the Isthmus of Panama (巴拿马地峡) by Spanish explorer Vasco De Balboa in 1513. He discovered how narrow it was. Only 80.5 kilometres of land separated the Atlantic from the Pacific! The Spanish surveyed the area in hopes of building a canal. But the local government decided it was impossible.
Fast-forward to 1869, Ferdinand De Lesseps had completed the 163-km-long Suez Canal (苏伊士运河), a waterway linking Europe and Asia. France asked him to repeat his success at Panama. He agreed to have a try. When digging started in 1881, Ferdinand De Lesseps thought building a canal across Panama would be easy. But he didn't realize that digging in a jungle (丛林) would be so dangerous. Ferdinand De Lesseps and his team gave up their project after thousands of workers died from diseases caused by mosquitoes(蚊子). American President Theodore Roosevelt quickly took over where the French crew had left off. He bought the canal property (运河的所有权) and sent a team of workers to finish the project. Led by John Stevens, the American team got rid of the mosquitoes. This effort helped the team of nearly 40,000 workers to stay healthy and productive (富有成效的) . The team used powerful steam shovels (蒸汽挖土机) to make a path for the canal. But even with the help of such large equipment(装备), the work progressed slowly. Finally, after nearly 10 years of non-stop digging, the canal successfully opened in 1914.The story didn't make the headlines, though. The public was focused(专注) on World War I. Therefore the canal wasn't dedicated (举行落成典礼) until July 12, 1920. Since the canal first opened, more than 960,000 ships have traveled through it. The Panama Canal has become an important link in global(全球性的)shipping. A journey that used to take months now takes two weeks.
【1】How wide was the Isthmus of Panama which separated the Atlantic from the Pacific?
____________________________________________________________________
【2】Who bought the Panama Canal property?
_________________________________________________________________
【3】What did the team use to make a path for the canal?(in no more than three words)

【4】How long did it take people to complete the work on Panama Canal?(in no more than three words)

【题目】Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children. They see their older children as babies all the time! It can be a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent(依赖于) on them!
In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy knowing that. Because of too much care, their children don't know anything about the world. Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care damages their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents,these children will be in a big trouble!
It is nice that parents show their care to their children. It is nice that children know that their parents' care is out of love. And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much.
【1】According to the writer, the common problem in China is that .
A. many children don't like to go to school
B. some parents do almost everything for their children
C. some parents don't let their children go anywhere
【2】Most Chinese children know little about the world because .
A. their parents take too much care of them

【题目】What can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with the one who hurts him or her. But it’s not a good idea. The best way is to forgive(宽恕)them.
Although it’s not easy for us to forgive people who hurt us, it is possible. “Forgiveness makes you more hopeful. And it’s good for our health,” says Frederic, PhD, the writer of the book called Forgive for God.
But how can we forgive others? It’s really a problem. Let’s see how we can do it? First, think of something beautiful and the people you love. Try to get yourself happy. Second, don’t wait for others to say sorry to you. If the people hurt you, he or she won’t say sorry to you. They may not just want to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. Third, try to see things in others’ shoes. You can write a letter to yourself from the offender’s point.(肇事者的观点) That can make you understand others better and make yourself happier. Don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. And it also makes you more confident.
根据短文内容, 选出最佳答案。
【1】________ steps are mentioned in this article to forgive others.
