二、阅读理解
When people enjoy the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival, an ancient poem, “Prelude to Water Melody”, is often read. The story of the poem dates back to the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1076. Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, couldn't sleep that night. For seven years, he had been separated from his brother. Looking at the moon and thinking of his brother, he wrote the poem. Here are some famous lines.
Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;
The moon is bright or dim and she may wax(月满) or wane(月缺).
There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.
So let us wish that man will live as long as he can!
Though miles apart, we'll share the beauty she displays.
In the first two lines, the writer compares the life of a man to the changing face of the moon. In Chinese culture, a full moon symbolizes perfection and getting together. When the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones, that's heart-breaking.
Before the comparison, Su Shi complains about the “ruthless” moon and asks her: Why then when people part, is she oft full and bright? However, he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride, just like the moon may not always be bright. That's why the poet says, “There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.”
But should we stand still when facing things we can't change? Su Shi gives his answer:
Change your mind and stay positive. So, we have the last line of the poem. The poet hopes people can avoid getting lost in the sadness of life and instead enjoy the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy, they all can admire the same moon and share her beauty.
()1. What's the Chinese title of the poem Prelude to Water Melody?
A. 《水调歌头》 B. 《望月怀远》
C. 《静夜思》 D. 《月夜忆舍弟》
()2. In which background did Su Shi write this poem?
A. His country was in a war.
B. His family went through a hard time.
C. He hadn't seen his brother for seven years.
D. He was sent to a faraway place as an official.
()3. What did Su Shi compare people's life to in the poem?
A. The rising of the sun.
B. The beautiful flowers.
C. The changing face of the moon.
D. The different sizes of mooncakes.
()4. What does the underlined word “ruthless” probably mean?
A. High up and far away.
B. Changing all the time.
C. Very clear and shining.
D. Unkind and without pity.
()5. What does the poem want to tell us in the end?
