Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here2017年无锡市中考英语试题

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

【译文】雪夜林畔小驻（译）余光中

 想来我认识这座森林，

 林主的庄宅就在邻村，

 却不会见我在此驻马，

 看他林中积雪的美景。

 我的小马一定颇惊讶：

 四望不见有什么农家，

 偏是一年最暗的黄昏，

 寒林和冰湖之间停下。

 它摇一摇身上的串铃，

 问我这地方该不该停。

 此外只有轻风拂雪片，

 再也听不见其他声音。

 森林又暗又深真可羡，

 但我还要守一些诺言，

 还要赶多少路才安眠，

 还要赶多少路才安眠。

Delia was a young pianist. Her husband Joe was a talented young painter. They lived in a small flat in New York.

Each of them was taking lessons - Joe with a famous art teacher，and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford，but …when you love your art，nothing’s too much.

But soon, the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more.

Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano — and he was going to pay her $50 an hour.

“Delia,” Joe said, “I’d be much happier if you kept up your lessons. ” Delia said that it didn’t matter. She said, “When I’ve made some money, I’ll start again. When you love your art, nothing’s too much.”

A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took $200 from his pocket. “I met a man from Vermont，” he said, “who bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more!”

Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was burned. He asked her what had happened. “Oh,” said Delia. “My student, Sally, asked me to pour some coffee for her. So I did - and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand.”

Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he asked. She took a deep breath and started to cry. “Oh Joe — I couldn’t get any students so I got a job in a coffee shop. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can’t work any more. I’m sorry,Joe - but we’ll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”www.ccutu.com

Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been working in a drugstore (药店），and today someone came from the coffee shop to buy cream for a woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you — well，I guessed.”

They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art ..,”

Delia put her fingers to his lips (嘴唇). “No, Joe,” she said, “just ‘When you love ...’”

31.How did Joe most probably feel when he first knew about Delia’s plan?

A. Proud but a bit afraid.              B. Excited but a bit angry.

C. Curious but a bit sad.              D. Cheerful but a bit worried

A. When you love your art, you can’t tell lies. B When you love someone, you can t tell lies.

Rock art is the name given to pictures drawn on rock by ancient peoples. In the American Southwest, rock art can be seen on the walls of caves and mountains. Many of these places are in the Four Comers area, where the states of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico meet. More than 7,000 rock art places have been found just in Utah, where the area’s dry climate （气候）has helped keep the art.

There are three forms of rock art. The first is petroglyphs，which are pictures carved (雕刻）into the surface of rock. A sharp (尖利的）stone may have been used as a carving tool. A heavy stone may have been used to hit the sharp stone into the surface. The second form of rock art is pictographs, which are pictures painted on the rock. The paint was made from plants and trees. The artists painted with fingers, brushes made from hair, or bird bones. The third kind of rock art is geoglyphs, which are designs made in the ground by taking away stones.

Some rock art shows faces, hands, animals, and trees. Other pictures are symbols such as lines, circles, and squares. Some scientists think these symbols marked the location of water or good hunting grounds. Some think the symbols were put there during special celebrations. Others think the symbols showed the movement of planets and stars. Still others believe that they are just doodles.

Some rock art may be a form of writing. Large scenes are shown on mountains. Some scenes seem to tell a story. A hunting scene may include animals and people with hunting tools. A scene with many people holding hands could mean friendship. Rock art in caves may have been a way to decorate the artist’s home.

Some rock art in the Southwest is about 200 years old. Other rock art may be 10,000 years old. Scientists think an ancient people called the Anasazi created the older works. They were farmers and lived in caves.

34.The writer mainly wants

A. to introduce an ancient art form              B.              to describe pictures drawn on rock

C. to tell the history of a certain area              D.              to solve the mystery of old symbols

35.According to the passage, what are "doodles" probably like?

A. They are carelessly written or drawn.              B.              They show different symbols.

C. They are carefully chosen or designed.              D.              They have special meanings.

36.What can we learn about rock art?

A.The artists were usually farmers and lived in caves.

B.It requires special paint made from plants and trees.

C.Most of it describes the daily life of ancient peoples.

D.Utah has the largest collection of it in the Southwest.

What can we infer (推断）from the passage?

A.Petroglyphs are the easiest to be washed away by rain.

B.Artists of modem times can copy rock art rather easily.

C.The works created by the Anasazi must be pictographs.

D.Places like rainforests are not ideal for keeping rock art.

Did you know that years have their own colors? Pantone Color Institute is an organization that gives companies advice about color. And every year，it picks one that represents trends (趋势）in international culture.

This year，Pantone’s color is a bright shade of green that it calls “greenery”. Greenery makes people think of nature and growth. The color represents hope of changing one’s life for the better or care for the environment. Red, orange and yellow are considered “warm” colors while blue，green and purple are “cool” But greenery has elements (元素）of both; it s green, but it also includes a lot of yellow. This makes it able to go well with many other colors.

Pantone’s researchers start choosing the color of the year about nine months before the year begins. They look for a color that is already being used more and more often. To decide the color 〇f the year, they look beyond fashion and home decorating. They study art, movies and lots of other things. They pick one color they expect to stay popular and announce their choice in December for the following year.www.ccutu.com

You’re likely to see greenery a lot in 2017. When you do, let it encourage you to enjoy nature and start something new.

参考词汇：正能量（positive energy)              世界冠军（world champion)

I think it is full of positive energy.

It tells a story about a father and two daughters. In the film, the father wants to realize his world champion dream by training his two daughers hard . At first, the two girls don’t agree. However, their father is very strcit with them. They finally make a big success.

After the film, many people discuss whether parents should decide their children’s future.

I suggest our parents should guide us to choose our own life. When we have difficulty making decisions, they should give us wiser advice.
