Thoughts on a Tranquil Night
By Li Bai
Before my bed a pool of light—
Can it be hoar-frost(霜) on the ground?
Looking up, I find the moon bright;
Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.

【语篇导读】本文介绍了唐代诗人李白的文学成就以及他的诗《静夜思》。
1. C 提示:代词指代题。根据画线词上一句"He writes about 1,000 poems in his whole life."可知,他一生写了大约1000首诗。"Which one of them do people like best?"意为"在这些诗中人们最喜欢哪一首?"所以them指代的是前面提到的诗。
2. D 提示:推理判断题。根据第三段第二句"It's about missing home very much when you're far from home."可知,《静夜思》这首诗是关于远离家乡时思乡的情感,而不是关于春天的美丽。
3. B 提示:推理判断题。根据第三段可知,诗中诗人一开始看到地上的月光,想知道寒冷的感觉是不是因为地上的霜,此时感觉是寒冷;然后他抬头看到明月,因为月亮让他想到了家乡,所以他感到有点温暖;最后他低下头,感到思乡。所以诗人的情感变化是Cold→Warm→Homesick。
