D
“A land of mountains and rivers, stretching(绵延) a thousand li; A capital with palaces, guarded by ninefold gates.” is part of a poem written by Luo Binwang. The Tang Dynasty ruled China for almost three hundred years. During the Tang Dynasty, China was the biggest and richest country in the world.
▲ The Tang emperors loved the arts, and especially poetry. Twenty - seven - year - old Xuanzong became emperor. He was skilled in music, poetry and the art of beautiful writing. He liked poets, including two of the most famous poets in Chinese history: Li Bai and Du Fu. Li Bai took life easier while Du Fu was a very serious and hard - working young man who always wanted to be a government official.
A Period of Glory
During the Tang Dynasty, the country was full of creative energy. Foreigners were more welcome than ever before, and the mix of cultures and ideas made China an exciting place.
Tea became very popular during the Tang Dynasty. Everyone loved to drink it. Tea was grown in China, and the traders who sold it became extremely rich. So much money was being used that China was running out of coins(硬币). The traders invented a kind of paper money that they called “flying money”, perhaps because the money flew so fast from one person to the next. This was the first type of paper money in the world.
A number of other inventions also appeared. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the invention of printing led to the creation of books. Hundreds of years would pass before printing was invented in Europe.
An Explosive Discovery
An even more explosive discovery took place in China during the Tang Dynasty. For many centuries, Chinese scientists had tried to create gold and find the secret to living forever. The results of their experiments surprised them—the mixture exploded! The Chinese scientists had discovered gunpowder(火药).
Under the Tang Dynasty the Chinese used the gunpowder not for wars but for creating fireworks. It seems fitting that the wonderful Tang Dynasty should be remembered for giving the world the wonderful gift of fireworks.

解析
【分析】
这是一篇介绍唐朝社会文化的说明文阅读题，解题时可以按照题目顺序逐一对应原文定位信息：1. 第42题判断开篇写作手法，直接定位文章第一段开头，找到作者引入内容的来源，匹配对应的写作方式即可得出答案；2. 第43题选段落小标题，需要概括空后整段的核心内容，排除范围过窄、过大的干扰选项，匹配最贴合段落主旨的标题；3. 第44题询问飞钱的发明目的，定位第四段关于飞钱的介绍，结合当时硬币短缺的背景，推导飞钱的作用就能得到正确结论；4. 第45题推理判断题，将每个选项和原文内容逐一比对，排除和原文矛盾、无中生有的错误选项，就能锁定正确答案。
【解析】
42. 写作手法判断题：文章开篇直接引用了唐代诗人骆宾王的诗句“山河千里国，城阙九重门”引入唐朝相关话题，属于使用引用的写作方式开篇。A选项“做对比”、B选项“讲故事”、C选项“举例子”均不符合开篇特征，因此选D。
43. 段落主旨归纳题：空后段落的核心句为“唐朝帝王喜爱艺术，尤其推崇诗歌”，后续内容围绕唐玄宗精通音律、诗文、书法，以及他和李白、杜甫等知名诗人的相关内容展开，整段核心主题为诗歌与艺术。B选项仅提及帝王过于片面，C选项范围过于宽泛，D选项仅聚焦两位诗人无法覆盖全段内容，因此最适合的标题是A选项。
44. 细节推理题：根据原文第四段可知，唐朝商业繁荣货币流通量极大，市面上硬币存量不足，商人们发明的“飞钱”可以在不同交易者之间快速流转，解决了大额交易中硬币携带不便、存量不足的问题，发明目的是让交易更便捷顺畅。A选项“停止使用硬币”不符合原文表述，B选项“用来书写”完全无关，D选项“让商人变富”不是发明飞钱的目的，因此选C。
45. 文意推断题：逐一核对选项：A选项“书籍最早出现在欧洲”和原文“唐末发明印刷术诞生书籍，数百年后欧洲才出现印刷术”矛盾；B选项“当时找到了炼黄金的方法”和原文“炼丹家试图炼制黄金、寻找长生秘诀，最终意外发明火药”矛盾，并未成功炼出黄金；D选项“唐朝诗人比官员更受欢迎”属于无中生有，原文没有相关表述；C选项“文化和思想的交融让唐朝充满创造力”完全对应原文第三段内容，表述正确，因此选C。
