Are fables (寓言故事) and fairy tale (童话故事) different or the same? They are both stories for kids, but fables are stories for adults as well.

Fairy tales are usually stories for children, often about magic characters such as fairies(仙女) and giants(巨人). Sometimes the characters are animals.

This is a song millions of Americans hear on New Year’s Eve. This is a song we hear in some classic movies like The Gold Rush (1925), Waterloo Bridge (1931) and It’s a Wonderful Life (1946). This is a song that has different versions(版本) around the world. It is called Auld Lang Syne.
Actually, Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version by Scottish poet Robert Burns was published in 1796. The title Auld Lang Syne is believed to be an old Scottish way of saying “a long time ago”. The opening lines of the song “Should auld acquaintance be forgotten, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgotten, and auld long syne?” mean we should have a drink to remember whatever is passing, and remember old friends. In Scotland, on New Year’s Eve it’s a tradition to play the song with its national instrument called bagpipe. Bagpipe makes special sound and it has a special look, with a bag at the bottom and one or several pipes connected to the bag. And the bagpiper, who plays this instrument, is required to wear Scottish traditional clothes kilts.
When the Scots moved to America in the 1800s, they brought the song with them. But the Canadian bandleader Guy Lombardo made it well-known to the public. In 1965, he explained to a reporter of Life Magazine how he connected the song with New Year’s Eve: “Auld Lang Syne is our theme song. We end every dance with it.”
41．Auld Lang Syne in Scotland probably means ________.
A．a new year B．a music band C．an old friend D．a long time ago
42．Why do people sing Auld Lang Syne when New Year is coming?
A．To hope for good luck. B．in memory of Robert Burns.
C．To celebrate Christmas. D．in memory of the past.
43．Which picture shows bagpipe?
A． B． C． D．
44．Why is Guy Lombardo mentioned in the passage?
A．He created the song Auld Lang Syne.
B．He made the song Auld Lang Syne more popular.
C．He brought the song Auld Lang Syne to America.
D．He was the first to sing the song Auld Lang Syne.
45．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．a famous Canadian bandleader B．the history of Scotland
C．the song Auld Lang Syne D．a way of celebrating the new year

四、阅读判断(共5分)
During the Jin Dynasty(265-420), there was a child named Che Yin. He was smart and loved to read. He grew up in a poor family and couldn’t pay for the lamp oil to study at night.
One night, he saw fireflies outside his house and came up with an idea. He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung the bag up as a lamp. It was said that he spent all of his summer nights reading like this.
Another child named Sun kang who lived during the same period also loved reading. One night during winter, Sun used up all of his lamp oil and couldn’t study at night. When he suddenly woke up at midnight, he saw the snow reflecting the moonlight outside his house. His first thought was “Oh, I can use the reflected light to read!” He took out his books and read, even though it was freezing cold.
Both of these kids later became successful government officials. People were touched by their hard-working spirit. Their stories inspired the Chinese idiom nangying yingxue(囊萤映雪) or “to read by the light of bagged fireflies or the reflected light of snow”.
In the past, people had a harder time studying than we do now. They had to copy books by hand because books were rare at that time. For poor families, paper and writing brushes were too expensive. Students even had to travel over mountains and rivers in order to find a good teacher. However, these conditions did not stop young minds from learning knowledge.
判断正(A)误(B )

53．Neither of the two children was hard-working.
54．Che yin and Sun Kang wrote the Chinese idiom nangying yingxue.
55．The poor learning conditions didn’t stop young children from studying.

Are fables (寓言故事) and fairy tale (童话故事) different or the same? They are both stories for kids, but fables are stories for adults as well.
A fable is a story, passed down from grandparents to parents and then to children. People can learn much from it. The characters are mostly animals and nature. They can talk and act like humans. The most famous fables were written by a man called Aesop. There are around 600 fables in Aesop’s Fables. The Fox and the Grapes and The Tortoise and the Hare are two examples.
Fairy tales are usually stories for children, often about magic characters such as fairies(仙女) and giants(巨人). Sometimes the characters are animals.

This is a song millions of Americans hear on New Year’s Eve. This is a song we hear in some classic movies like The Gold Rush (1925), Waterloo Bridge (1931) and It’s a Wonderful Life (1946). This is a song that has different versions(版本) around the world. It is called Auld Lang Syne.
Actually, Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version by Scottish poet Robert Burns was published in 1796. The title Auld Lang Syne is believed to be an old Scottish way of saying “a long time ago”. The opening lines of the song “Should auld acquaintance be forgotten, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgotten, and auld long syne?” mean we should have a drink to remember whatever is passing, and remember old friends. In Scotland, on New Year’s Eve it’s a tradition to play the song with its national instrument called bagpipe. Bagpipe makes special sound and it has a special look, with a bag at the bottom and one or several pipes connected to the bag. And the bagpiper, who plays this instrument, is required to wear Scottish traditional clothes kilts.
When the Scots moved to America in the 1800s, they brought the song with them. But the Canadian bandleader Guy Lombardo made it well-known to the public. In 1965, he explained to a reporter of Life Magazine how he connected the song with New Year’s Eve: “Auld Lang Syne is our theme song. We end every dance with it.”
41．Auld Lang Syne in Scotland probably means ________.
A．a new year B．a music band C．an old friend D．a long time ago
42．Why do people sing Auld Lang Syne when New Year is coming?
A．To hope for good luck. B．in memory of Robert Burns.
C．To celebrate Christmas. D．in memory of the past.
43．Which picture shows bagpipe?
A． B． C． D．
44．Why is Guy Lombardo mentioned in the passage?
A．He created the song Auld Lang Syne.
B．He made the song Auld Lang Syne more popular.
C．He brought the song Auld Lang Syne to America.
D．He was the first to sing the song Auld Lang Syne.

During the Jin Dynasty(265-420), there was a child named Che Yin. He was smart and loved to read. He grew up in a poor family and couldn’t pay for the lamp oil to study at night.
One night, he saw fireflies outside his house and came up with an idea. He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung the bag up as a lamp. It was said that he spent all of his summer nights reading like this.
Another child named Sun kang who lived during the same period also loved reading. One night during winter, Sun used up all of his lamp oil and couldn’t study at night. When he suddenly woke up at midnight, he saw the snow reflecting the moonlight outside his house. His first thought was “Oh, I can use the reflected light to read!” He took out his books and read, even though it was freezing cold.
Both of these kids later became successful government officials. People were touched by their hard-working spirit. Their stories inspired the Chinese idiom nangying yingxue(囊萤映雪) or “to read by the light of bagged fireflies or the reflected light of snow”.
In the past, people had a harder time studying than we do now. They had to copy books by hand because books were rare at that time. For poor families, paper and writing brushes were too expensive. Students even had to travel over mountains and rivers in order to find a good teacher. However, these conditions did not stop young minds from learning knowledge.
