Farewell (告别) to Liu Yu
By Li Qi
In the eighth moon the reed cold grows; The autumn waves with white crest.
The mast shakes as north wind blows; Why should my guest go to the west?
The rain no longer drops down on hilltop; Out of the door rises the evening tide.
At night along the beach my friend should stop; *Hear a lonely wild goose (大雁) cry by riverside!*
The poem *Farewell to Liu Yu* was an ancient poem written by Li Qi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poem was made up of eight lines, which can be divided into two parts.
The first four lines were the first part of the poem, which started with writing the views. This poet used the cold reeds in the wind to lightly point out the parting emotions (离别情绪). However, in the moment of parting, Li Qi didn’t write the sad views to show his sorrow, but focused on the white waves of the autumn river, describing the environment. This way of writing made this parting poem not so sad.
The second part of the poem expressed Li’s best wishes after Liu Yu’s leaving. He wished that the weather would change from rainy to clear, and the ship would sail with the tide, so that his friend’s journey could go smoothly. Li also did well in turning his feelings into pictures. For example, in the last line, the wild goose is crying, making the parting feeling alive.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文，主要介绍了唐代诗人李颀的诗歌《送刘昱》的赏析。
34. B 推理判断题。根据“In the eighth moon the reed cold grows; The autumn waves with white crest. The mast shakes as north wind blows; Why should my guest go to the west?”可推断，与“west”押韵的是“crest”。故选 B。
35. C 词义猜测题。根据上文及“Li Qi didn't write the sad views to show his sorrow”可推测，sorrow 与 sadness 同义，表示“悲伤”。故选 C。
36. A 推理判断题。画线句“Hear a lonely wild goose cry by riverside!”运用了拟人的修辞手法，描写了大雁的叫声。A 项“雨唱着歌，从云层里跳出来。”也运用了这种手法。故选 A。
37. A 判断正误题。根据“He wished that the weather would change from rainy to clear, and the ship would sail with the tide, so that his friend's journey could go smoothly.”可知，李颀和刘昱是好朋友。故选 A。

【分析】
这是一篇古诗赏析类的英语阅读理解，解题时可以按题型逐个突破：
1. 第34题考英语诗歌押韵规则，首先明确押韵是看单词末尾音节发音相近，回到题干对应的诗句中，对比"west"和四个选项单词的尾音，即可匹配出押韵的词。
2. 第35题是词义猜测题，定位划线词所在的上下文，结合前文提到的送别诗的离别情绪，关联"sad views"的提示，就能推断出划线词的含义。
3. 第36题先分析划线诗句的修辞手法，将大雁赋予人的情绪和动作属于拟人，再逐一判断四个选项的修辞类型，选出同样使用拟人手法的选项即可。
4. 第37题是细节判断题，将每个选项和原文内容逐一比对，排除不符合原文描述的错误选项，就能得到正确答案。
【解析】
34. 推理判断题：英语诗歌押韵要求单词末尾音节发音相近，"west"发音为/west/，尾音为/est/；选项A grow发音/ɡrəʊ/、选项C blow发音/bləʊ/、选项D hilltop发音/ˈhɪltɒp/，均不匹配；只有选项B crest发音/krest/，尾音同为/est/，和west押韵，故选B。
35. 词义猜测题：划线词sorrow所在句提到李颀没有用悲伤的景色来展现他的sorrow，结合这是送别诗、自带离别伤感的属性，可推断sorrow含义为悲伤，对应选项C Sadness；A开心、B兴奋、D惊讶均不符合语境，故选C。
36. 推理判断题：划线句"Hear a lonely wild goose cry by riverside!"将大雁赋予了人才有的"lonely（孤独）"的情绪，使用了拟人的修辞手法。选项A把雨赋予"唱歌、跳跃"的人的动作，同样是拟人修辞；B使用对比修辞，C使用夸张修辞，D使用比喻修辞，均不符合要求，故选A。
37. 判断正误题：逐一核对选项：
A选项：原文提到李颀为友人刘昱送别，还特意祝愿对方旅途顺利，说明二人是好友，表述正确；
B选项：这是送别诗，自带离别情绪，李颀写作时并非开心，表述错误；
C选项：原文提到李颀希望天气从雨天转晴，并非送别时正在下雨，表述错误；
D选项：诗中明确提到"autumn waves"，送别时节是秋天并非春天，表述错误。
综上选A。
