　　Ⅴ.阅读理解

　　Confucius(551～479 B C)was a thinker，educator，and founder of the Ru School for Chinese thought.

　　He was a wellknown leader in philosophy and he also made many wise phrases and theories about the law，life，and the government that helped many people learn about nature，the world，and human beings.

　　Confucius’s social philosophy largely centres around the concept of“ren”， which is“loving others”and“honoring one’s parents”．Those who have developed “ren” are “simple in manner and slow of speech”．For Confucius，such concern for others is proved through the practice of the Golden Rule：“What you do not wish for yourself，do not do to others.”

　　Confucius thinks a good rulership was to have “de” or “virtue” which allows one to win people’s support without using any force and keep good order in his state without troubling himself，and that a ruler should rule his people by his own example and treat them with love and concern.

　　A characteristic of Confucius’thought is his emphasis (强调) on education and study.“A good teacher is someone who knows well the ways of the past and the practices of the ancients”and he also thinks“He who learns but does not think is lost.He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”

　　Confucius did not write down the principles of his philosophy; these

　　were

　　handed

　　down only through

　　his students.Lun Yu, a book compiled (编撰) by some of his students，is

　　considered

　　the

　　most

　　dependable

　　source

　　of information about his life and teachings.One of the historical works that he is said to have compiled and edited, The Spring and Autumn Annals, is describing Chinese history in the state of Lu from 722 to 481 BC.

　　Since Confucius’s teachings and philosophy was so advanced, it was the education for China for 2,000 years.It is called Confucianism.

　　【解题导语】　孔子是伟大的思想家、教育家和儒家学说的创始人。在社会哲学中，他强调“仁”。在统治者中，他倡导“德”，要对人民关爱。他还强调教育和学习，认为不学习是很危险的。他的哲学思想已影响了中国2000多年。

　　1．The passage mainly discusses________.

　　A．Confucius and his great thought

　　2．Confucius’s philosophic thinking can help people know about all the following EXCEPT________.

　　A．humans B．nature

　　C．the world

　　D．the sun

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的后半部分“...helped many people learn about nature，the world，and human beings.”可知没有提到D项。

　　3．Which of the following expresses Confucius’s educational idea?

　　A．What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.

　　B．Learning and thinking should go hand in hand.

　　C．“Loving others”and “honoring one’s parents”．

　　D．A ruler should love and care about his people.

　　5．We can infer from the passage that a teacher should be a person who________.

　　A．is old and experienced enough

　　B．learns but doesn’t think

　　C．does things according to good old ways

　　D．thinks a lot but doesn’t learn
