B从后边的over her lunch hours可知，此处应选pubs（酒店）。18. A从上文的notes一词和下文的to finish the book可知，此处表示Harry Potter那本书的“章节”。19. D此处表示定居下来以后着手完成她的书。表示“着手干某事”常用set out to do sth和set about doing sth两个短语，由后边的不定式结构推断出选D。set off表示“动身，出发”；set up意为“建立”。20. D离开她们狭小而又寒冷的公寓。Part 阅读理解基础篇A开始时间：_ After four months running, the national childrens singing competition has come to an end in Beijing, but the wonderful songs and music still remain in the air.One of the ideas growing out of the event is to sing Chinas Tang poems. The movement has given great inspiration to those who compose songs for children. Excerpts from well-known poems of Li Bai, one of Chinas greatest poets, are perfectly mixed with music of the 21st century. As these children sing, its how they find pictures and songs in the ancient poems. “Reading Poems of Tang Dynasty” is a golden award winner of the 2007 national composing competition for childrens song. Winning again at this years nationwide childrens singing competition, the song will be collected in an album which contains another 20 pieces inspired by the famous ancient poems. Famous composer Gu Jianfen says theres no better way to attract the younger generation than through singing, especially when asking them to memorize the legacy of their ancestors. Gu Jianfen, composer, said, “When we recorded the song, we discovered how involved the children were. Their sincere feelings and true thoughts let us learn the innocence of young hearts. For me, nothing is more precious than this.”Singing is also one great way for those young minds to sing out their gratitude to their parents, teachers and those who care for them.

Her ancestral home is in Weihai, Shandong Province. Gu graduated from the Composition Department of Northeast Music School in 1955.

The master poets of Tang Dynasty (618-907), for example, are rightfully known as some of the world's best poets.It was therefore surprising and somewhat disappointing that, upon coming to China to teach writing at a university in mid-2006, I discovered that the average Chinese learner was far more interested in King Kong than the subtle yet profoundly insightful poetry of the Tang Dynasty genius Li Bai; or that when I mentioned Mulan (the heroine of an early Chinese), I was told about a Disney animated adaptation of the story. Have the Chinese-especially the youth-lost all interest in the literary masterpieces of their own language as a result of the greedy impact of popcorn Western culture?My fears were somewhat decreased when I found out that Chinese primary school students still learn Tang Dynasty poems; that cultural events associated with the lives of literary icons-such as the Dragon Boat Festival-are celebrated each year; and that sites commemorating writers and their words-such as the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, the inspiration for many generations of Chinese poets-are popular and well-preserved attractions. I was also pleased to gradually discover that not all Chinese youths are as crazy about throwaway popular culture as it first appeared and that many are in fact very enthusiastic about great poets and novelists. But the problem remains that I have not been able to discover anything altogether new or exciting about either classical or contemporary Chinese writing in spite of having lived in a Chinese metropolis for more than a year. Tips:subtle adj. 微妙的 profoundly adv. 深深地 icon n. 肖像；偶像 commemorate vt. 纪念 It was therefore surprising and somewhat disappointing that, upon coming to China to teach writing at a university in mid-2006, I discovered that the average Chinese learner was far more interested in King Kong than the subtle yet profoundly insightful poetry of the Tang Dynasty genius Li Bai; or that when I mentioned Mulan (the heroine of an early Chinese), I was told about a Disney animated adaptation of the story.本句中，it只是形式主语，真正的主语是后面that引导的从句。upon coming to China相当于as soon as I came to China。Discovered后面跟了两个that引导的宾语从句。句意：因而，令我吃惊甚至有点失望的是，2006年中我一来到中国在一所大学教学就发现，一般的中国学生对金刚的兴趣远远大于唐朝天才李白的微妙但是蕴藏很深的诗歌，或者当我提起木兰（中国早期的女英雄），他们告诉我迪斯尼动画故事里的片段。The Yellow Crane Tower Yellow Crane Tower is the symbol of Wuhan. It is located on the Snake Hill in Wuchang, at the south bank of Yangtze River; it is called one of the three most famous towers in southern China, together with Yueyang Tower in Hunan Province and Tengwang Tower in Jiangxi Province. The net height of the main building of the tower is 51.4 meters. It has five stories, of which each displays poems and essays by poets and writers, fairy tales, and legends. 体裁：议论文 总词数：277建议用时：5 mins1. What do you think the writer is? A.

Tang Shi San Bai Shou 300 Tang Poems is a compilation of poems from this period made around 1763 by Heng-tang-tui-shi Sun Zhu of the Qing dynasty.
