　　Ⅳ. 阅读理解

　　One-hundred-and-seventh birthdays aren’t usually celebrated for authors who aren’t alive anymore. But Theodor Seuss Geisel — better known as the children’s books author Dr. Seuss —who came into the world on 2 March, 1904, was an unusual man.

　　Like generations of children I was raised on his wonderful stories. But when I now read them to my children it’s not just the childhood memories I enjoy. His writing is brilliant and imaginative and flows with a self-confidence as sure as the words of a Shakespeare poem. Readers ride his characteristic rhythm with an effortless joy that cannot be matched by any other modern writer:

　　You have brains in your head

　　You have feet in your shoes

　　You can steer yourself any direction you choose

　　And will you succeed?

　　Yes indeed, yes indeed!

　　Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.

　　Seuss’s brilliant cartoons and clever words make his books a delight for adults but they appeal most to children of course. His stories teach kids moral lessons but in indirect and entertaining ways.

　　The first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax, written just as the 60s were becoming the 70s. Seuss was ahead of his time, and in this book the dawn of concern for environmental problems are shown as the Lorax “who speaks for the trees” battles against an evil businessman who wants to destroy the forest and make goods “which everyone needs”.

　　It’s not only a warning of the heavy price of environmental destruction, written well before most people had thought to worry, but it’s also a smart analysis of consumer societies: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. ” This is of course a moral message, but not of the kind designed to persuade the youngsters into behavior that adults want.

　　I could go on, but hey, it’s a birthday, and I’m sure you folks have some good toasts to raise for the party. . . 1. What’s the purpose of this passage?

　　A. To introduce Dr. Seuss’s life.

　　B. To analyse Dr. Seuss’s books.

　　C. To describe Dr. Seuss’s writing style.

　　D. To celebrate Dr. Seuss’s achievements.

　　2. Why do adults also enjoy Seuss’s books?

　　A. His words and pictures are imaginative enough to be enjoyed by all.

　　B. His books give children obvious moral messages to learn from.

　　C. He writes about adult topics in a way that is understandable to children.

　　D. He was the first person to write about the environment.

　　3. When was the book The Lorax written?

　　A. Early 1960s.

　　B. Early 1970s.

　　C. Late 1960s.

　　D. Late 1970s.

　　4. Which of the following is true about Seuss?

　　A. Many of the issues he discussed attracted greater concern in later years.

　　B. He is widely considered as the twentieth-century Shakespeare.

　　C. His books are more popular now than when they were first published.

　　D. Most readers thought his ideas were difficult to understand.

　　Ⅴ. 任务型读写

　　阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　“BANG! BANG! ” Setting off firecrackers(爆竹), which has been the most typical custom on the Spring Festival, is the happiest part of the Festival for most Chinese kids. They light the fuse(导火线) nervously, run away in a hurry, cover their ears with their hands and watch the colorful display with a big smile on their faces. Faced with the beautiful scene, they feel they are the happiest ones in the world as if they had never had a more exciting experience.

　　While setting off firecrackers can bring kids so much fun, these firecrackers can also be dangerous. Therefore, many Chinese big cities including Beijing began to ban them in the 1980s. Such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities because the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. As a replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound, too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.

　　This year good news came for teens in Beijing. The ban on firecrackers was cancelled. It will add much fun to the coming Spring Festival in the capital. Hearing the news, many kids were wild with joy.

　　According to Chinese custom, lighting firecrackers is a must during the Spring Festival. People believe the sound of the firecrackers drives away demons and bad luck for the coming year. Their beautiful colours and sound also bring much excitement during this most important traditional Chinese festival.

　　Since the ban, people complained that the Spring Festival was too quiet and not traditional enough. Children lost the fun and grown-ups lost their childhood memories. Some even worried that if the ban continued, the next generation would only know the custom of lighting firecrackers through books. This would be a great loss for traditions.

　　Everybody knows that we can’t give up eating for the slight risk of choking(噎). So in recent years, many cities have resumed the old custom at the request of local residents. This year kids

　　in Beijing will also be able to join in.

　　However, every year there are kids injured by setting off fireworks in a dangerous way. So while enjoying yourself, please bear safety in mind. Don’t light fireworks among crowds, inside a bottle or with a part of your body right over it.

　　No matter how much fun firecrackers are, the most important thing is to keep away from danger. We wish every kid an exciting and safe Spring Festival!

　　Title: Firecrackers back in Beijing on the Spring Festival
