**绝句二首**杜甫

**其一**迟日①江山丽，春风花草香。泥融飞燕子，沙暖睡鸳鸯。**其二**江碧鸟逾白，山青花欲燃。今春看又过，何日是归年？

　　注：①迟日：即春日。杜甫的诗歌中有不少“以诗为画”的作品，上面两首绝句都描绘了如画的春景，但两首诗在写景抒情上各有特点。（1）杜甫这两首诗所表达的感情不相同，各表达了作者什么样的感情？　______________________________（2）两首诗在描写景物的方法上各有什么特点？请作简要分析。　______________________________

**鲁山①山行**梅尧臣适与野情②惬，千山高复低。好峰随处改，幽径独行迷。霜落熊升树，林空鹿饮溪。人家在何许③，云外一声鸡。 

[注]：①鲁山：又名露山，在今河南省鲁山县东北。②野情：喜爱山野景色的情趣。③何许：何处。（1）作者在描写景物时，采取了以动衬静的手法，你从哪里可以看出作者是以“动”衬“静”的？　______________________________（2）欧阳修在《六一诗话》中说，诗家能“含不尽之意见于言外，然后为至矣”。本诗歌尾联是否如此呢？试作简要分析。　______________________________

E In the UK, most children have their midday meal at school, but in many schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school lunch—a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches. Often parents prepare lunches on the basis of what their children want. Cathy, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches, because they say they hate school dinners. I make 3 packed lunches every morning, so we’re like a sandwich bar in our kitchen in the morning.” However, another mother, Susan, made her choice based on the nutritious value of the food. She said, “My daughter always has school dinners. I think she probably gets healthier food by having a cooked lunch at school than she would if I made sandwiches.” But how healthy are school dinners？ Kaz, a father, wasn’t impressed with them. “Fizzy （有泡沫的) drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.” The question of how healthy school food is was brought to Jamie Oliver, who launched a campaign to improve children’s nutrition, after spending a year working in a school kitchen. The TV series about the campaign won an award this week. He was horrified （惊恐的) at the junk food he saw being served, which included burgers, pizza and chips.  He decided to ban the junk, and started cooking good stews （炖菜) and curries for the children instead. Jamie improved the school dinners in that particular school, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food. Then he put pressure on the government to improve the standards of school food across the country. And it looks as if the changes have begun. 57 What would be the best title for the passage？ A. School Dinners      B. Healthy Food C. Dinners in the UK     D. Research on Dinners

Mike Maietta was eating lunch when he got a text message from his mom. “Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!” Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So Mike and his parents are considering offers from several other colleges and are calculating the costs of tuition, housing and holiday trips home. This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs and plunging house prices have changed family spending. “We’re excited that Mike got into eight great schools,” said Mike’s father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if you consider going to school out of state, you’ve got to think about all of the other costs: moving, flying back and forth for the holidays. You’re looking at about $3,000 a year, just for travel.” As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping help packages can be increased. Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope from New York University （NYU). Although she has always wanted to live in Manhattan, she is seriously considering the University of California San Diego （UCSD), because of the high cost in New York. “The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “My mom doesn’t want me to have a big debt when I graduate, and I don’t want that either. I’d have to take out a loan of $15,000. I’ll check and see if there’s any way that NYU can offer me any financial aid.” More than 7.6 million American students have filled out the Free Application for Students Aid, a 19.9 percent increase over last year. This month the Federal Department of Education urged college financial aid officers to give more help to certain families. A record 30,428 students applied for 2,300 places at Stanford, partly because the university increased financial aid for families earning below $10,000.

A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal（正面的) attack — when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who
36 a traffic jam on his way to work shortly  37 receiving an ultimatum（最后通牒) about being late for work. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s being late — serious illness at home — he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t  38 any longer. His supervisor（主管) was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal
39  .
Yes, the boss was. When Sam entered the office at 9:35, it was as  40 as a locker room（更衣室)— everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor  41 him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin （露齿笑) and  42 out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m   43 a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm？”
The room burst into  44  . The supervisor clamped off（忍住) a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had  45 his job — with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet  46  ignored, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want  47 his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel.
