She buys a fine steed at the east market; a saddle and blanket at the west market; a bridle at the south market; and a long whip at the north market.
- The Ballad of Mulan
The history of ji shi in our country can date back to the barter system of the late primitive society. Markets had already emerged during the time of Shennong. By the Shang and Zhou dynasties, “shell money” was being used in transactions, and markets began to take on more defined forms. During the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States periods, many renowned merchants emerged, such as Fan Li, honored as the “Merchant Saint", and Lü Buwei, known as the “Merchant Prime Minister". In the Qin Dynasty, the unification of wheel tracks, currency, and weights and measures stimulated the market trade. To enhance regulation, the Qin government established "fixed markets” - enclosed spaces with high walls where people could freely set up stalls. During the Han Dynasty, markets(referred to as “Hu markets") were established in border regions. Major cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Chengdu emerged as prominent economic centers. In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an and Luoyang thrived with the merchants, both local and foreign, fostering a booming trade network. Due to the Tang Dynasty's enforcement of a night curfew, markets were only active during the daytime. The Song Dynasty abolished the night curfew, ushering in an era of flourishing night markets. These markets became lively hubs not only in the capital, Dongjing, but also in other cities where night markets gained widespread popularity. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the market economy had reached unprecedented levels of prosperity, with the Four Great Towns achieving widespread acclaim.
On a designated day, people joyfully gather at the market.
Dizhou Tong is a well-familiar name in China, as there is a story about him in one of the elementary school textbooks. The story describes how he came from a poor family and could not go to high school until the age of 17, and how his resolution and diligence made him a successful biologist. But in the academic community, he is remembered and respected for another reason - the outstanding achievement of cross-species cloning in fish. 争气 童第周在中国可谓家喻户 晓，因为其事迹在小学课本 中便有所记载。他出身贫 寒，17岁才踏入中学校门， 却凭借其顽强毅力与不懈努 力，最终成为杰出生物学家。 在学术领域，人们铭记并敬 重他，还因他在鱼类跨物种 克隆方面取得的卓越成就。

ong was born in a village in Yin County, Zhejiang Province, China, on May 28, 1902. His father was a teacher in the village and was responsible for Tong's early education. Tong's father died when Tong was fourteen years old, leaving his mother to care for Tong and his six siblings. In 1918, at
In 1930, Tong married Yufen Ye, a biologist who later specialized in embryology. With financial support from his brothers, Tong started doctoral study in the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium in 1930. Tong learned from famous European embryologists when studying in Belgium, and published several papers after careful observation and research, which exerted great effects on the biological field of Europe at that time.
这篇课文叫《一定要争气》，主要讲述了童第周两次“争气”的故事。第一次是在中学时，童第周因为文化基础差，差点被退学或降级。他通过发奋努力，用半年时间将成绩赶了上来。第二次是在比利时留学时，童第周面对外国学生的轻视，下定决心为中国人争气。后来，他完成了青蛙卵膜剥离手术，震惊了欧洲生物学界。
the age of 16, Tong enrolled in a school that trained primary school teachers. A year later Tong left to attend the Ningbo Xiaoshi High School. At the age of 17, Tong was the

张老师坐堂
本篇文章与高考阅读理解B篇的选材有相似之处，文章选项设置可能也会让同学们在作答时“伤脑筋”。这里，张老师想说点命题时的所感，希望能帮助到同学们。
是的，每个人都希望得高分，但没人喜欢题海战术。那么，如果提高刷题的性价比呢？俗话说，纲举则目张。无论何种文章，如能根据文章类型迅速把握文章结构，则可根据题目对可能的答案出处快速定位，有的放矢。所以，首先应摸透文章类型及相应特点。
其次，我们究竟应该怎么学习和复习词汇呢？死记硬背，低效费时；提炼词汇核心意思才能触类旁通并游刃有余地应对词义猜测题。同义词的积累与识别更是重中之重。无论是近义词还是反义词，无论是上下义词还是归纳或演绎，都是同义替换可能的出题手段，而同义替换在出题中的占比极重。
再次，逻辑为王。文章千变万化，题目五花八门，但对学生素养的考查始终不变。无论是句子内部，句子之间还是段落之间，都遵循着一定的行文逻辑。唯有逐句精读，仔细推敲文章的内在逻辑，在解答阅读理解题时才不会望文生义，在完成七选五时才不容易被选项套路，在完成完形填空时才能不遗漏线索，在写作文时才能行云流水。
以上，都可以从研究真题中获得。
参考答案及解析
A. Fear.
B. Regret.
C. Loneliness.
D. Yearning.

日落遐想
我坐在湖之畔，看着太阳朝地平线缓缓落下。头倚墙壁，我眼中满是落日的余晖。冬日的空气，透着一股凝重。
风从我身旁掠过，无声地笑着，寒意直透骨髓;它在湖面翩翩起舞。留下一道道细微的涟漪。
我看着湖水悠悠流淌，宛如顺滑的丝绸。粼粼波光，碎作万千光斑。随波逐流，时隐时现。
对日落来说，生命意味着什么？每次目睹日落，我都心生怜悯。它每天露面的时间极为短暂。从未完整领略过世间万物。它日复一日地出现，有着永恒的规律。却在宏大的时空里转瞬即逝。我们的生命不也如此？与浩瀚宇宙相比，同样短暂无常。或许，我们应让生命富有意义，如日落般灿烂辉煌。
Sunset Reflections
文/海南省人大附中海口实验学校宋沐晨指导老师/王彬
I sat beside the shallow lake, observing the sun descending towards the horizon. I rested my head against the wall, my eyes filled with the sunset glow. The wintry air imparted a thick and heavy feeling.
The wind swept past me with a silent laugh, its coldness seeping deep into my bones as it danced across the lake, leaving small ripples in its wake.
I watched the water flowing serenely like gliding silk. The light, reflecting off its surface, shattered into a thousand fragments, drifting with the current - vanishing and reappearing in a fluid dance.
What is the meaning of life to the sunset? Each time I behold it, I feel a sense of pity. It has only a brief moment of appearance each day, never fully experiencing the world in its entirety. It is permanent in its daily recurrence yet fleeting in the vastness of space and the immensity of time. Aren't our lives just like this? We, too, are short-lived when compared to the cosmos. Perhaps, then, we should strive to render our lives meaningful, briliant and glorious - much like the sunset.
