The Mandarin Exam Reading Work "Weeds"
There is such a story.
Someone asked: What is the most powerful thing in the world? The answers varied. Some said: "elephant", some said: "lion", and some people said jokingly: It is "Vajra", Vajra has How much strength, of course, no one knows.
As a result, all these answers are completely wrong. The most powerful things in the world are the seeds of plants. The power that a seed can manifest is simply beyond anything else.
The human skull is very dense and strong. Physiologists and anatomists have tried every means to separate it completely, but they have not been able to do so. Later, someone suddenly invented a method, which was to put some plant seeds in the skull to be dissected, and give it temperature and humidity to make it germinate. As soon as they sprouted, these seeds used terrifying power to completely separate all bones that could not be separated by mechanical force. The power of plant seeds is so great.
This may be a bit special and difficult for ordinary people to understand. So, have you ever seen the growth of bamboo shoots? Have you ever seen the growth of a small grass that is pressed under rubble and stones? In order to yearn for the sunshine and to achieve its will to live, it does not care about the stones above. No matter how heavy it is, no matter how narrow the space between the stones is, it must twist and turn, but persevere and persevere to reach the ground. Its roots dig into the soil, and its buds push towards the ground. This is an irresistible force. The stones that stop it are also overturned by it. The power of a seed is so great, so//so .
No one calls the grass "Hercules", but its power is indeed unparalleled in the world. This force is the vitality invisible to ordinary people. As long as life exists, this force will manifest. The rocks above are not enough to stop it at all. Because it is a kind of "long-term resistance" force; it is elastic, a force that can bend and stretch; it is tough, and it will not stop until it reaches its goal.

3. Read the short passage (400 syllables, ***30 points, time limit is 4 minutes)
For someone like me who is used to living in Peiping, it would be a miracle if there is no wind in winter; there is no wind in Jinan in winter. For someone like me who has just returned from London, it seems strange to be able to see the sun in winter; Jinan's winter is sunny. Of course, in tropical places, the sun is always so poisonous, and the loud weather is a bit scary. However, in the winter in northern China, Jinan is really a treasure for having warm and sunny weather.
Assuming there was sunshine alone, it would not be a surprise. Please close your eyes and think: An old city with mountains and water, all basking in the sun under the sky, sleeping warm and peacefully, just waiting for the spring breeze to wake them up. Is this an ideal state? The hills surround Jinan Circle, only the north side is missing some openings. This circle of hills is particularly cute in winter, as if it is putting Jinan in a small cradle. They whisper quietly and quietly: "Don't worry, it will be warm here." ?Really, people in Jinan smile on their faces in winter. As soon as they looked at those hills, they felt that they had a place to rely on. When they saw the mountains from the sky, they unknowingly thought that tomorrow might be spring, right? With such warmth, the grass on the mountains might turn green tonight. Even though this fantasy could not be realized for a while, they were not in a hurry, because like this Charity winter? Why hope for anything else!
The best thing is a little snow. Look, the dwarf pine trees on the mountain are getting darker and darker.
4. Propositional speech (please choose one of the following topics, ***40 points, time limit 3 minutes)
1. The place I yearn for
2. Talk about the development of science and technology and social life
Example: The place I yearn for
Since I was a child, I have longed to see the sea and settle in a place with the sea. I have always I have a special affinity for water. It can be said that I grew up by the water. My family lived on the edge of the Songhua River. When I was a child, I often went to the river with a group of children to catch small fish and fetch water. Battle, very happy. My favorite sport is swimming. I think swimming can not only lose weight, but also relax tension. I like the feeling of floating on the water. I can close my eyes and think about anything and everything.
Now, the place I want to go to most is Hainan. There are two classmates in our department who are from Hainan. From their mouths, I also learned a lot about Hainan. Every summer, a large number of tourists go to Hainan for sightseeing, watching the beautiful sea and swimming in the sea. I think that for a person who loves the sea, going to Hainan is the most beautiful thing.
Moreover, I am also a person who loves to eat. Hainan’s fruits are very cheap, such as bananas and sweet potatoes, and the locals even feed them to pigs. My favorite fruit is banana. I think if I go to Hainan, I will definitely be able to eat enough. I heard that Hainan’s snacks are also very famous. If I have the chance, I will definitely try them.
I heard that there is a Malatang restaurant near the north gate of Hainan University. It is very delicious and I really want to go there. Since I was in high school, I have started to like Malatang, whether it is summer or summer. I like to eat all kinds of food in winter. In winter, after eating a bowl of Malatang, I feel like I feel less cold immediately, especially if I have a cold and my nose is stuffy. When I was a child, after eating Malatang, my nose will be clear. That kind of It feels great. In the summer, I like to buy a bowl of Malatang and pack it back to eat. There is a paper towel next to it, and I wipe my sweat while eating. There is no one around, so I don’t have to worry about how I eat. The feeling can be described in one word, ?Refreshing?! I think the Malatang tastes different in every store. To this day, I still like Jilin Chuanmei’s Malatang the most. I feel that the Malatang in Baicheng is not hot enough. However, no matter what, as long as it is Malatang, I will still eat it. Love food very much.
The night market in Hainan is also very lively. There are many people at night. I also hope to go there to visit the night market. I think it must be a different experience.
Hainan is the place I yearn for most now. I think what I have to do now is study hard and hope to work in Hainan after graduation. When the time comes, I will also bring my parents with me so that they can feel the atmosphere of Hainan.
