　　Tang poetry is so excellent and of such a large sum that it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time.It appeals so many people all over the world that more and more Tang poems have been translated into other languages，mostly into English.Nevertheless，since the translatability of poetry has been the most controversial(引起爭論的)issue in the translation circle，whether a Tang poem is translatable or not is now still in debate.

　　An American poet Robert Frost ever said，“Poetry is what gets lost in translation.”In this sense，something in Tang poetry will get lost after being translated into English.Here comes the untranslatability(不可翻譯)of Tang poems in English translation.Tang poetry is the harmonious unity of beautiful sound，well-balanced form and implicit sense so that it is very difficult to translate them into other languages satisfactorily.English is intonation(語調)language while Chinese is tone language so that they are dissimilar in sound；English spelling words are alphabetic writing while Chinese square characters are ideographic(表意文字)so that they are dissimilar in form；English was born and develops in western cultural background while Chinese in oriental so that they are dissimilar in sense.Based on the differences above，a conclusion is made naturally in the article that in the process of translating Tang poems into English，there is some untranslatability，namely，sound untranslatability，form untranslatability and sense untranslatability.In fact，the study on the untranslatability of Tang poetry still has a great room for development，as it remains an unsolved problem.In this case，however，talking about the untranslatability of Tang poems in English translation is not against the translation work of Tang poems but for the better translations of them.

　　A．Tang poetry is a kind of new culture existing in China

　　(2024山東,C)You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.That’s why he created Lampbrella,a lamp post with its own rain—sensing umbrella.

　　The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once,I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘篷)built into a street lamp.”he said.

　　The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.

　　In addition to the rain sensor,there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.

　　According to the designer,the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed,so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians.Besides,it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike.Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people.Being installed(安裝) at 2 metres off the ground,it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.

　　While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production,Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department,and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

　　1.For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?()

　　A.To predict a heavy rain.

　　B.To check the weather forecast.

　　C.To protect people from the rain.

　　D.To remind people to take an umbrella.

　　2.What do we know from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?()

　　A.His creation was inspired by an experience.

　　B.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.

　　C.Street lamps are protected by canopies.

　　D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.

　　3.Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?()

　　A.motor→canopy→sensors

　　B.sensors→motor→canopy

　　C.motor→sensors→canopy

　　D.canopy→motor→sensors

　　4.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?()

　　A.Its moving speed. B.Its appearance.

　　C.Its installation. D.Its safety.

　　5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?()

　　A.The designer will open a company to promote his product.

　　B.The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.

　　C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.

　　D.The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

　　語篇解讀:一次雨天的所見所聞激發了Belyaev的靈感,他發明了一種用傳感器控制的燈傘,使行人免遭雨淋。

　　答案及剖析:1.C　細節理解題。根據第一段的最后兩句可知,他發明這種燈傘的目的是讓行人免遭雨淋。

　　2.A　推理判斷題。根據第二段的內容可知,Belyaev講述了他發明燈傘的過程,是在圣彼得堡的一次下雨時的見聞激發了他的靈感,故A項正確。

　　3.B　細節理解題。根據文章的第三段內容可知,傳感器可以感知雨水的降落,然后燈傘里的電動馬達就會根據需要把傘打開或者關閉,由此可知,其順序為:傳感器——馬達——傘篷。

　　4.D　推理判斷題。第五段中提到幾個關鍵詞語:低速行駛;不會對行人造成傷害,使行人免遭雷擊;離地面兩米。這些都是安全方面的問題,故D項正確。

　　5.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“Belyaev says...insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk...”可知,他認為自己的發明可以被安裝在任何有許多行人的街道上,這表明他對他的發明的實用性充滿信心。

　　【疑難詞匯解讀】

　　1.shelter n.庇護,遮蔽;庇護所;避難處

　　An old hut gave shelter from the storm.

　　一間舊茅舍成了躲避風雨的地方。

　　2.install vt.安裝,設置(裝備)

　　They’ve installed the new computer network at last.

　　他們終于安裝了新計算機網絡。

　　【長難句子分析】

　　and

　　雖然沒有把燈傘投入生產的計劃,但Belyaev說他最近把他的發明介紹給了一個莫斯科的部門,并堅持說他的發明可以被安裝在任何有許多行人但是沒有傘篷可以避雨的街上。

　?。?024高考閱讀理解）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的選項中選出最佳選項。

　　One windy spring day，I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth.As the strong winds gusted against the kites，a string kept them in check.

　　Instead of blowing away with the wind，they arose against it to achieve great heights.They shook and pulled，but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牽引)，facing upward and against the wind.As the kites struggled and trembled against the string，they seemed to say，“Let me go！Let me go！I want to be free！” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string.Finally，one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.“Free at last，” it seemed to say.“Free to fly with the wind.”

　　Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind.It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush.“Free at last”．Free to lie powerless in the dirt，to be blown helplessly along the ground，and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.

　　How much like kites we sometimes are.There always exist misfortunes and restrictions，rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength.Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition.Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained.If we keep all the commandment(戒律)，we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.

　　Let us each rise to the great heights，recognizing that some of the prohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve.
