There were many famous poets living in the Tang period such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of about 48,900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it didn’t cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.‎ During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.‎ In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems; women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.‎ Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It’s a miracle in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful ‎ empire with a vast territory. It inherited Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, and was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn’t the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people. Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting and music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement.‎ ‎21．It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that_____________.‎ A. there were more than 48,900 poems written in Tang Dynasty B. in total there were four famous poets in the Tang Dynasty C. only people in the Tang Dynasty created poems D. in the Tang Dynasty most common people were poets ‎22．The underlined word “adjacent” in Paragraph 3 probably means_______________.‎ A. neighboring B. strong C. poor D. rich ‎23．What does the author really want to tell us in Paragraph 3?‎ A.

Some other kinds of spiritual wealth in the Tang Dynasty.‎ C. The significance and influence of the Tang Dynasty.‎ D. The editors of Poems of the Tang Dynasty.‎ The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.‎ He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day.‎ They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.‎ He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets—nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.‎ At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.‎ While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along it, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said “Ding－Dong－Dong”,“Ding－Dong－Dong” again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he made other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.‎ Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hello! I’m going swimming, but you can’t go, can you?”‎ No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom’s mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.‎ Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, you’ve got to work, hey？”‎ Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, it’s you, Ben! I wasn’t noticing.”‎ ‎“Say—‘I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could? But of course you’d rather work—wouldn’t you? Of course you would.”‎ Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said, “What do you call work？”‎ ‎“Why, isn’t that work？”‎ Tom went back to his whitewashing, and answered carelessly.‎ ‎“Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.”‎ ‎“Oh come, now, you don’t mean to say that you like it？”‎ The brush continued to move.‎ ‎“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it. Does a boy get a chance to ‎ whitewash a fence every day？”‎ Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said，“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”‎ Tom thought for a moment, and was about to agree, but he changed his mind.‎ ‎“No—no—it won’t do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.”‎ ‎“No—is that so? Oh come, now—let me just try. Only just a little.”‎ ‎“Ben, I’d like to, but if it isn’t done right, I’m afraid Aunt Polly …”‎ ‎“Oh, I’ll be careful. Now let me try. Say—I’ll give you the core of my apple.”‎ ‎“Well, here—No, Ben, now don’t. I’m afraid …”‎ ‎“I’ll give you all of it.”‎ Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought it for a dead rat—and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures.‎ And he had not worked. He had had a nice idle time all the time, with plenty of company, and the fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadn’t run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.‎ He had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get.‎ ‎25．How many characters are mentioned in this story?‎ A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7‎ ‎26．Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets?‎ A. Because he was tired and wanted to play with his toys B. Because he wanted to throw his toys away C. Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys D.
