If you are asked to name some national emblems of China, the dragon will probably be one of the famous images that pop into your head. We Chinese often consider ourselves "the descendants（后代）of the dragon." It is not unfamiliar to you that your parents hope that you "may become the dragon".

　As a mythical（神秘的）creature, the dragon is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Traditionally, dragons are considered to govern rainfall. They have the power to decide where and when the rain falls. In addition, the dragon is a symbol of imperial （帝王的）power. The emperors thought they were real dragons and the sons of the heaven.  　

But the creature is regarded differently in Western countries. In the Bible, dragons represent the devil（恶人）. Western people usually see dragons as cold-blooded reptiles（爬虫）, like snakes and cruel killers. In their eyes, dragons are also dishonest.　　

　Dragons in Western literature are presented as monsters（怪物）. It is a common tale for a mediaeval knight（中世纪的骑士） to kill a dragon and save a princess and her country from its evil. Even the popular boy wizard Harry Potter has to battle against a dragon.  　　

　However, dragons are not all bad in the West. "Puff the Magic Dragon" is a well-known song. The lyrics(歌词) tell a bitter-sweet story of the dragon Puff and his playmate Jackie Paper, a little boy. When Jackie grows up, he loses interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves Puff upset. Puff represents the innocence of a child's imagination, which is very positive for a dragon.  　　

1.The underlined word” emblems” in the first paragraph means “_______”.

2.What is a dragon presented as according to Western literature?

A wizard      B. A mediaeval knight  C. A princess           D. A monster

3.The writer gave the example of “ Puff the Magic Dragon” to show_____.

高一英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

On November18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the world famous violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio（小儿麻痹症）as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches（拐杖）now.

That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break---it broke with a loud noise.

People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”

But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra（管弦乐队）began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power.

Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing（重新作曲）the piece in his head.

When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done.

He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.”

His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.

1.Holding a concert is challenging for Perlman because ______.

A. he is just a world famous violinist

B. he has never performed on stage before

C. he is physically disabled as a result of a disease

D. he has difficulty in moving his body

2.When Perlman had just begun playing, ______.

A. there was something wrong with the violin

B. he fell ill suddenly

C. an accident happened and caused a disturbance

D. a very loud noise arose from the audience

3. If one of the strings suddenly broke, what would an ordinary player do?

A. He would cancel the concert.             B. He would play another violin.

C. Another performer would play instead.     D. The concert would be put off.

4.The audience rose and cheered ______.

A. to show they are satisfied with Perlman’s performance

B. to thank the orchestra for their passionate performance

C. to ask Perlman for another performance

D. to express their appreciation of Perlman’s creative mind

5. The lesson we draw from the story is that ______.

A. we should make the best of what we have

B. what we have is more important than what is lost

C. we should not care about what is lost

D. the way of life is to always live with music
