What is Qing? " Pu said: "Punishment is to punish evil, reward is to reward merit, and the way of ancient and modern times is also. Punishment rewards the punishment of the world.

I have grown up.
When I was a child, I wanted to grow up, so I looked forward to entering middle school as soon as possible and becoming an adult.
Finally entered my ideal middle school. I said to my parents with great joy, "Dad, Mom, I have grown up, and I have gone to middle school." My parents smiled: "No, son, being a middle school student doesn't mean you become an adult."
So I continued to wait for the arrival of "growing up".
I found the first zit on my face and said to my parents with expectation, "Mom and Dad, I have grown up. I have acne. " The parents smiled: "No, son, acne doesn't prove that you have grown up."
Gradually, "growing up" was forgotten in the busy study.
Later, I moved. It's a long way from home to the station, so the children next door always give me a ride with their bicycles.
It was a rainy morning, foggy and the road was slippery. Inadvertently, the neighbor's child's bike knocked down someone, and I was hit hard on the ground. Before I knew it, the child next door had picked up his bike and ran away. I finally realized what had happened, and I had better leave, but when I was about to leave, I found that a thin old lady was hit.
At this time, many people have gathered around. I was a little ashamed, so I lowered my head to help the old lady clean up the dishes scattered on the ground. Suddenly I found my father's deep eyes in the crowd. I'm starting to get scared. What if I go back after such a disaster today?
I sent the old lady home, only to find that her children were unfilial. The old lady didn't mean to blame me at all. She just said that she was lonely. So, I said, I will visit her often.
I didn't want to perfunctory her, so I decided to do it.
However, I don't know how to face my parents.
I came home carefully, ready to be a "good baby" first, and then confess, I think I will scold less. At the dinner table, the atmosphere was not as bad as I expected, and there were a few more dishes I liked to eat. While eating, I watched my father eat carefully. My father is very kind and brings me food from time to time. I was waiting for my father's reprimand. My father just asked about the old lady and asked me to spend more time with her.
I still remember what my parents said to me earnestly before going to bed that day: "Son, you know what responsibility is." I finally feel that my parents have admitted my growth; I finally understand that growing up is not as easy as going to middle school or getting acne. Growth means taking responsibility.
Indeed, not all adults can take responsibility; However, people who can take responsibility must have grown up.

Read the following and answer the questions. (10)
Teacher! Teacher!
Yan lianke
I saw my teacher again, just like a pilgrim saw a god who was grateful to him since he was a child.
In January this year, I went home to attend my uncle's funeral. In this spare space, Mr. Zhang came to my house and sat on the stool in my room. The emptiness and disorder in the countryside separate me from my teacher. Sitting opposite each other, drinking white water, peeling apples, talking about many old memories of mixed feelings of sadness and joy, such as my study, homework and skipping classes when I was in junior high school more than 30 years ago.
My teacher Zhang Menggeng's life is wrapped in warmth in silence, and the warmth is wrapped in biting cold.
Born in the late 1920s, the teacher dropped out of school, dropped out of school and studied repeatedly. He walked between the ridge and life and experienced the war of resistance and liberation. With the red flag flying at 1949, his memory was always hungry and cold, but his family suddenly became a landlord during the land reform. Fortunately, after all, he has culture and culture. The rural areas of the motherland also know the weight of culture best. Although culture is not necessarily dignity and wealth, it is an inevitable part of life for children to read, write their own names and be proficient in arithmetic. Then the teacher becomes a teacher. From one village to another, from one village to another middle school. Until the reform and opening up, he was transferred to a high school in the county, became the teaching director, and finally presided over the work of this school. In a flash, all the golden years of his life, the ups and downs of vegetation in 43 spring and autumn periods, were covered with dust, and the schools with lush grass were ups and downs, with white hair dyed.
I don't know how the teacher feels about his life. Judging from a simple "My Life-Autobiography of Zhang Menggeng" written by him, it makes people feel sour. I thought about the strength of the world and the weakness of individuals, and how fate and life meandered like running water in the dry sand, breaking free and flowing, but they could not break away from the dry engulfment after all. The final outcome is that we graduated and the teacher was white-haired; When we reach middle age, our teacher fails. We have a family and a career, but the teacher is living silently, watching the students he once disciplined and reprimanded, living a life of recalling the past, thinking about the past that he still remembers but his students have long forgotten.
6. I still remember when I was in the first grade, he was my head teacher and bishop of Chinese. One hot summer, there were so many aphids in my cotton field that everyone was afraid, so I invited more than a dozen male students in my class to help my mother catch aphids. Naturally, there were few students in the classroom that day, so the teacher couldn't teach, so we had to let everyone read with books. On the morning of returning to school from the cotton field, the teacher asked me why I skipped class with my classmates. I plausibly said that I took my classmates to cotton fields to catch aphids for a long time; Unexpectedly, he asked the teacher that aphids were everywhere in the field. Should I help mom catch aphids? It is said that if the aphids are not cleaned up within three days, the cotton will be harvested in one season. Time is pressing and there are not enough people at home. I asked my classmates for help for a long time. What did I do wrong?
The result seems to be that I took my classmates to skip class and catch bugs, which is in line with the school rules and regulations and made the teacher dumb for a while on the podium. Those unreasonable and unreasonable memories of my youth may be the beginning of my daring to make the impossible possible in my writing today. However, now, facing the octogenarian (módié, referring to people aged 80 or 90), I have a sense of guilt that I haven't felt in my heart for more than 30 years, and suddenly it bubbles like a sand spring.
We just sat drinking water and chatting until the sun set and reminisced about the past. The teacher insisted on leaving and said that the children were working outside and filial. A teacher with a rough life and serious teaching will have successful children and students in his later years, just like the intertwined vines, which will eventually spread out a forest. This is God's will.
When the teacher left my house, I helped him stand up; When I left the yard, I helped him cross the threshold; When he was sent to the door, it was a bumpy ground that I helped him cross. When my father died too early, I helped my teacher like an elderly father. Looking at the father-like teacher at the far end of the village, he is like an old tree moving on the earth in the sunset. Until he slowly disappeared at the head of the village, I still saw his figure walking in my heart, and his steps slowly fluctuated, just like I was silently listening to my heartbeat.
Attending can't say that the teacher is great, I just think he is great. Perhaps in this world, all talents are truly great, and greatness itself is actually a kind of covered mediocrity.

There may be people around you: idols, respected elders, respected celebrities, beloved friends ... These people are lively and innocent; Hard-working and simple; Honest and trustworthy; Enthusiasm and selflessness ... please choose one of the characters, introduce him or her to everyone, and write a composition of about 500 words according to the above tips.
Requirements: Describe the characters with concrete examples, pay attention to the use of details, and write down the personality characteristics of the characters.
Seventh grade Chinese (Volume II) (textbook of Jiangsu Education Edition) Unit 1 Chinese Font
Reference answer to test questions
1.① "Ai" "②" ③ "Don't choose" Ai "(pay attention to the writing of hieroglyphs, ancient and modern characters and homophones, and" Ai "and" Ru "cannot be written as" Ru "and" Bu ". )
2.
The typo changed everything.
Correct one's illusion
(In this question, the typo appears because the glyphs or pronunciations are similar. They are similar in overall shape or sound, but slightly different in nuance. When solving problems, we should pay attention to the subtle differences in the form and meaning of each word, concentrate on it, and don't be careless. This requires students to pay attention to distinguish the local differences of these words, such as the differences of radicals, shapes and pronunciations. )
3.d) The article "Showing China's Cultural Charm" does not introduce China's architectural culture, but mainly describes Pei's outstanding achievements in architectural design and praises his superb architectural design art and patriotism. )
4.( 1) Northern Song Dynasty (2) My road has twists and turns, passing through a long hollow stream sheltered from the wind (3) With Wu in my east and Chu in my south, I can see the endless floating of heaven and earth. The number (1)(2) is about memorizing dictation, and the number (3) is about understanding dictation. It is not difficult to prompt the author and the name of the work. The key is to write it correctly and avoid misreading homophones and variants. Pay attention to the writing of error-prone words, such as "Qu", "Yuan", "Gan" and "Kun". ]
5. Gorky's On Earth and My University Aletha is kind, energetic, happy, optimistic, determined, smart and capable (choose three) (This topic examines the reading of literary classics, you should memorize Gorky's autobiographical novel trilogy to understand the characteristics of the protagonist and other childhood characters. )
6.( 1) 234 (This question examines the screening information. A close reading of the article shows that the second sentence introduces Einstein's special relativity and general relativity; The third sentence introduces Einstein's quantum concept of light; The fourth sentence says that Einstein has made achievements in expounding Brownian motion and developing quantum statistics. These three sentences belong to Einstein's scientific achievements, so choose 234 sentences. The first sentence is about Einstein's life experience; The fifth sentence means that Einstein devoted himself to the establishment of the "unified field theory" of relativity, but with little effect. Although it is about science, it is not effective and cannot be regarded as an achievement. The sixth sentence is about the historical significance of Einstein's theory of relativity. None of these three sentences belong to Einstein's scientific achievements, so you can't choose 156. )
(2) (Example) Practice produces true knowledge, and science cannot be separated from practice. The key word "experiment" can be put forward from the key sentence "all reasoning must come from experiment" in the material 1. From the second material, we can know that Edison's invention was not a success, but through many practices and experiments. Therefore, the most important scientific spirit should be "experiment" and "practice". )
7.( 1) the person you play (2) and/or the punishment in the world [divide the pause of the sentence according to the meaning of the sentence, and don't split the meaning. Pay attention to some dividing signs, such as name, time, adverbs and modal particles. If "Pu" in (1) is a person's name and "Tomorrow" is a time, you can consider breaking in the middle. (2) "He" is an adverb and should be broken. ]
8.( 1) Be jealous and mean to others. (2) Tear up ... (3) Finally. (4) leave. To explain the meaning of notional words in classical Chinese, we can take notes after class or infer from the context. Special attention should be paid to the flexible use of some words and the phenomenon of different meanings in ancient and modern times, such as "fragment" as an intransitive verb followed by a noun, so we can consider its causative usage. For another example, the modern meaning of "going" is "going from one place to another", while the ancient meaning is "leaving". )
9.( 1) Zhao Pu's face has not changed. He knelt down, picked up the paper and took it home. (2) more angry, MAO got up and left, Zhao Pu followed closely. [This topic examines the translation of classical Chinese sentences. When you answer, you should focus on translating keywords and pay attention to the characteristics of sentence patterns. For example, the key word "color" in the sentence (1) should be translated into "face" and modified with "two", where "one" is equivalent to "two" and "zhi" refers to the torn instrument. (2) The key word "very" in the sentence should be translated into "very" and "very", and "hence" means "following closely". ]
10.( 1) A: Zhao Pu (taking the affairs of the world as his own responsibility) insists on recommending talents; B: Zhao Pu asked the minister to move.
(2) Take what's going on in the world as your own responsibility, not afraid of power, persistent, firm or deep, resolute and decisive. [This question examines the understanding and generalization of the content of the passage and the characteristics of the characters. When summarizing the content, we should highlight the elements such as people and things, and when summarizing the character characteristics, we should analyze the words and deeds of the characters in the text. For example, the words "tasting and recommending", "playing with others" and "repeating as before" in paragraph A show Zhao Pu's persistence and firmness in recommending a person. ]
1 1. I hope to enter middle school early and become an adult early (the answer can be obtained from the first paragraph. )
12. I still want to leave because my car hit someone. (this question examines the ability to understand the content of the article. You can see from the seventh paragraph that "I'm a little ashamed" because I want to leave. )
13. I didn't expect my father to severely criticize "I"; Because he saw with his own eyes that "I" was in trouble, and getting into trouble would be punished (paragraph 8, "I" found my father's deep eyes in the crowd and realized that I was in trouble, so I imagined that I would be severely criticized by my father when I went home. )
14. "Growing up" is not only a matter of age, but also a psychological problem. Being old doesn't mean "growing up", and being young doesn't necessarily mean not growing up. The standard of "growing up" is a sense of responsibility. The key is to understand the relationship between "growth" and "responsibility". )
15. "I" skipped classes with my classmates to help my mother catch aphids on a hot day, and argued with Teacher Zhang. (To solve this problem, we can first find the target paragraph in the text according to "What I did in junior high school", which is obviously in paragraph ⑥ 07 "Remember ... suddenly emerged like a sand spring". Then organize the answers in the format of "who, when, under what circumstances and what". From the selected paragraphs, we can see: who-"I"; When-a hot summer day; Under what circumstances-"my" cotton field is full of aphids, which makes people feel scared; What to do-take my classmates to skip class and go to the cotton field to help my mother catch aphids for a long time, and argue irrationally with Teacher Zhang. )
16. The title of the article uses repeated rhetorical devices and exclamation points. This not only emphasizes the identity of the character, but also expresses the author's strong feelings of reverence and praise for the teacher, which plays a role in attracting and shocking readers. [This question examines the appreciation of the topic, that is, the characteristics of answering the topic. We should answer from the words, rhetoric and punctuation of the topic. The beauty (function) of the title should generally be analyzed in combination with the content and theme of the article. As far as this topic is concerned, the title "Teacher! Teacher! "Use repeated rhetorical devices and exclamation points to emphasize the writing object of the article-the teacher. As far as the content and theme of the article are concerned, the article expresses the author's reverence and praise for the teacher, using "teacher! Teacher! " This topic has played a role in attracting readers to continue reading and making readers feel shocked. ]
17. Although Mr. Zhang's back disappeared before my eyes, his image and spirit remained in my heart, which made me remember him as clearly as listening to my own heartbeat forever, which expressed my incomparable love and unforgettable feelings for Mr. Zhang. [When answering this question, read the full text with the questions raised by the stem and extract relevant information from it. (1) From the sentence "My father died too early, and when I support my teacher, it is like supporting my elderly father", we can see that "I" have regarded my teacher as "father", which shows my love and affection for my teacher. (2) The underlined sentence "slowly disappearing" but "I can still see" expresses that although the teacher's back disappeared in front of him, his image and spirit remained in my heart, making me remember it as clearly as listening to my heartbeat. ]
18. Teacher Zhang quietly took root in education and moved from one school to another, leading an ordinary and poor teaching life. His life is very quiet. He has a successful career and contributed to education. Children become talents and families are happy; So it is full of "warmth". However, his life is hard and his fate is bumpy. He is not valued and remembered, so his life is full of "coldness". Understanding the stem is the key to answer this question. "Qing Ji" refers to poverty and loneliness. He has been unknown, hard-working, rooted in education, moved to many schools, and lived an ordinary and poor teaching life. "Warm" refers to his happiness, teaching and educating people to sprinkle their youth and blood on education, to fulfill the responsibility of a teacher, to make children successful and to make families happy; "Cold" means that his life is hard and his fate is bumpy, and he is not taken seriously or remembered. )
19. He loves the cause of education, silently sticks to it for 43 years, dedicates his golden years to the cause of education, and trains students to become talents; He cares about students, understands them, tolerates them and is admired by them. [( 1) Understand the meaning of "greatness" in the title: unknown, willing to be poor, willing to contribute, caring for students, tolerating students, selfless dedication, teaching and educating people. (2) Find the relevant sentences from the text. "From one village to another, and from one village to another middle school", "In a flash, the golden age of his whole life lasted for 43 years …"-he loved and devoted himself to education; As a result, it seems that I took my classmates to skip class to catch bugs, which conforms to the rules and regulations of the school and makes the teacher dumb for a while on the podium. ]
20. Creative inspiration This is a topic composition topic. When conceiving, first determine the writing object, and then select materials around a center. You can write about the external performance of the characters, the inner activities of the characters, or the joys and sorrows of the characters in a certain environment. The idea can be carried out according to the following ideas:
Explain clearly who he (she) is and what he (she) has to do with himself.
(2) The characteristic of writing a character is to write that this person is different from others. Only by writing characteristics can readers be deeply impressed, and articles can be different and innovative.

④ We should grasp the subtle movements and psychological changes of the characters and use the method of detailed description to make the characters more vivid.
⑤ Comprehensive application of various expressions. On the basis of narration and description, appropriate lyric and discussion are carried out to achieve the purpose of expressing feelings.
Example:
My father
My family is poor and my father is very ordinary. I am my father's precious daughter, and my father is my source of strength. I love my family and I love my father.
People praise the beauty and prosperity of this city. As the father of a construction worker, he is also the shaper of the beautiful image of the metropolis. As an ordinary construction worker, my father is not afraid of hardship, dirt, living and suffering. When a beautiful building is built, my father always shows a proud smile and a full sense of accomplishment.
Dad likes painting. With a pencil, clear sky, distant peaks, mountains, trees, houses, bridges and other things full of aura will be revealed in his works. He is also a good player in playing with mud. Lovely "small animals" are lifelike in his works. As a result, there are lively deer, auspicious doves of peace and thousands of Ssangyong pearls on the roof of the small farmhouse. Dad seldom wears a suit. When he took off his work clothes and finished washing and dressing, his handsomeness penetrated from the white shirt, beautiful tie and angular suit. At this time, I will look up and down: "Hey, Dad is great!" "Mom said, my father is the sun, my mother is the moon, I am the star, and we are an eternal combination in interstellar space, forever and ever. Dad is the pillar of our family. Without him, the sky would fall. Just for this, my father worked hard for several years. It was late autumn and my mother received the money order. At the same time, I learned that my father who was far away from the construction site was hit by a steel pipe-his arm was broken, but he didn't want to go home. Autumn wind blows, leaves whirl, grass rustles, I hold the money for tuition, thinking about my father's pain at this time, and tears drop by drop. Only then did I really understand why people call money "hard-earned money".
Life is a long way, and my father supports this family with perseverance. My family is still perfect, warm and happy. In my eyes, dad will always be the sun that never sets. ...
Comments on the dedication of "Dad" is selfless, and "I" love "Dad" is sincere. After reading this exercise, we can't help but envy the little author for having such a father and feel proud of her having such a father. This deep affection between father and daughter is integrated into the little author's pen, which makes the article have a strong artistic appeal.
