A Spring Morning

This spring morning in bed I'm lying,
Not to awake till the birds are crying.

Spring
(By Thomasashe, the UK)
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king,
Then blooms (开花) each thing, and girls dance in a ring.
Cold a bit not sting (刺痛), the pretty birds do sing,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
(An excerpt)
The first poem might be one of the most famous poems about spring in China. It's simple and easy to keep in mind. Meng writes about more detailed information of the season, including the weather, birds and even sounds. Thomas Nashe's poem celebrates the coming of spring. As spring comes, everything seems to grow actively. Just as a Chinese saying goes, "A year's plan starts with spring."

本题为英语诗歌阅读理解题，包含信息还原、细节理解两类题型，解题思路如下：
1. 第26题：需结合中国古诗《春晓》的英译原文，空缺处与wind并列，对应原诗“夜来风雨声”的“雨”，匹配选项即可；
2. 第27题：需分别提取两首诗中提到的元素，对比找出共同元素，对应选项；
3. 第28题：需分析Thomas Nashe诗歌中描述春天的关键词（如sweet、pleasant、blooms、birds sing等），判断春天的特点，匹配选项。

27. 解析：对比两首诗的元素：第一首诗提到了birds（鸟）和fallen flowers（落花）；第二首诗提到了blooms（开花，对应flowers）和pretty birds（鸟）。共同元素为①flowers和④birds，对应选项C，故选C。
28. 解析：Thomas Nashe的诗歌中用“sweet spring（甜美的春天）”“pleasant king（宜人的主宰）”“blooms each thing（万物开花）”“pretty birds do sing（鸟儿欢唱）”等描述，体现春天欢快的特点，A选项boring（无聊的）、B选项silent（安静的）、C选项comfortable（舒适的）均不符合，D选项cheerful（欢快的）符合，故选D。

七、学科融合·地理 任务型阅读
It's December. The weather is snowy and really cold in the north of China. You can see many children playing with snow. Some of them are making snowmen. Some are skating on the river, because it's so cold that the water in the river freezes (结冰). It's a white world. How beautiful! But in Australia now, the weather is hot. Many people go swimming in the sea. They are having a good time. Jim and his friends are playing soccer near the sea. The sunny weather is really cool to them. They want to swim after playing soccer.
Why do they swim in December? It is winter, isn't it? Yes, it is in China. But it isn't in Australia. That's because we, Chinese and Australians, have different seasons in a year.
