答案指导:
首先学会用归纳的方法概括段意，即“猫的性格实在有些古怪，”以及“满月的小猫更可爱，”由此我们可以把握全文大意，了解到作者是如何从这两个方面来描写小猫的。
其次，学会在具体语境中分析作者传达出的情感。作者笔下的猫，一举一动都具有人格化的意味，读起来十分风趣幽默，如文中写它出去玩玩和不回家等， 将小猫的淘气和贪玩的性格展示得活灵活现。
作者运用了拟人的手法进行描写，惟妙惟肖地写出了猫的种种惹人喜爱的神态举止，如”撞疼了也不哭，跌倒了马上起来“ 这些句子读起来也让人心中盈满爱意，天真可爱的猫的形象跃然纸上。
至于作者对于猫的叫声的描写更是别出心裁， 从”丰富多强调、长短不同、粗细各异、变化多端“这些词组中可以看出，作者真的很喜欢这只猫。同时也传达了作者对于猫的宠溺和喜爱之情。
参考答案:
1. 答： 本文生动细致地写出了小猫的古怪性格和它满月时的淘气可爱的特点，作者将小猫拟人化，用哭来形容猫，惟妙惟肖写出了猫贪玩的天性与倔强的脾气，突出猫的天真可爱，全文字里行间流露出作者对猫的喜爱之情。（学生也可以根据这个答题思路开放性作答。）
2. 答：猫的古怪之处在于它既老实又贪玩，既贪玩又尽职，高兴时和不高兴时截然不同表现，什么都怕，但又那么勇猛。这三个方面的表现，看起来相互矛盾，但都是事实，所以说猫的性格实在有些古怪。（学生也可以根据这个答题思路开放性作答。）

阅读老舍的《猫》，完成1-2题。
猫 (Māo) the Cat
猫的性格实在有些古怪。说它老实吧，它有时候的确很乖。它会找个暖和的地方，成天睡大觉，无忧无虑，什么事也不过问。可是，它决定要出去玩玩，就会出去走一天一夜，任凭谁怎么呼唤，它也不肯回来。
说它贪玩吧，的确是呀，要不怎么会一天一夜不回家呢？可是，它听到老鼠的一点响动，又是多么尽职。它屏息凝视，一连就是几个钟头，非把老鼠等出来不可！
它要是高兴，能比谁都温柔可亲：同身子蹭你的腿，把脖儿伸出来要求给抓痒。或是在你写作的时候，跳上桌来，在稿纸上踩印几朵小梅花。
它还会丰富多腔地叫唤，长短不同，粗细各异，变化多端。在不叫的时候，它还会咕噜咕噜地给自己解闷。这可都凭它的高兴。它若是不高兴啊，无论谁说多少好话，它一声也不出。
它什么都怕，总想藏起来。可是它又那么勇猛，不要说见着小虫和老鼠，就是遇上蛇也敢斗一斗。
满月的小猫更可爱，腿脚还不稳，可是已经学会淘气。一根鸡毛，一个线团，都是它们的好玩具，耍个没完没了。一玩起来，它们不知要摔多少跟头，但是跌倒了马上起来，再跑再跌。
它们的头撞在门上、桌腿上，彼此的头上，撞疼了也不哭。它们的胆子越来越大，逐渐开辟新的游戏场所。它们到院子里来了，院中的花草可遭了殃。它们在花盆里摔跤，抱着花枝打秋千，所过之处，枝折花落。你见了，绝不会责打它们，它们是那么生机勃勃，天真可爱！
阅读上文后，请对下面提供的两道引导题加以分析。
1. 本文生动细致地描写了猫的哪些特点？流露出作者怎样的感情？ 答：
2. 请简单概括一下猫的古怪之处。 答：
答案指导： 针对该篇诗歌评论要点应包括： A. 对全诗的意象以及通过这些意象传达的意义的分析； B. 对诗歌意义的解读； C. 对诗中突出的语言、意象、表现手法的特点的讨论。 针对以上答题思路，学生可开放性作答。
1. 作者使用鸽哨，幼芽，枝条，雨夜，天空，山川，河水，秋花，秋叶，车轮，街树，塔吊，秋阳等一系列意象来反映自己内心的精神体验。 例如用成熟音调的鸽哨象征智慧、感情都成熟的秋天，反衬阵雨喧闹的夏季，这里的一夏一秋不仅仅是指自然更替的季节，更是暗示着不同的时代。一个隐喻动荡不安的文革时期，另一个则暗指百废待兴，充满生机和活力的新时代。 作者以透明的好酒和醉人的香味来烘托眼前的幸福感，以指向远方的塔吊和扫描丰收信息的秋阳来表达对未来好日子的憧憬和向往。 作者追求深邃含蓄的文学表达，将复杂深切的情感隐于具体的意象背后，寓情于景，情景相契，使得这首诗意味无穷。 2. 诗歌写得亲切自然、从容不迫，既蕴藉又明快，充满画面感，从烦闷喧闹的夏季，再到幼叶艰难挣扎地破土，形象生动地描绘了诗人的心路历程，即对那个动荡不安的时代的彷徨无奈和迷惘，最后到视野明净的秋，尽了千锤百炼、劫后余生的那份感慨、从容和放松，也透露了对美好未来的希望和憧憬。 诗人没有直接地表露情感，却通过各种意象的象征，隐喻，烘托和对比来来委婉表达，使得诗歌洋溢着乐观向上，积极奋进的情感基调，通过写实和象征的手法去描述虚实结合的场景，不论是自然之景还是现实之景，都包含了诗人对历史和现实的深刻思考。 在线IB中文课程：通过对历年IB真题测试讲解，我们的老师能够给你提供最实用权威的中文课堂，助你有效地通过IB中文考试！ 想要获得更加专业和详细的IB考试指导吗，快注册我们的free trail来和中文老师一对一交流吧！

阅读杜运燮的《秋》，完成下列问题。
连鸽哨都发出成熟的音调， 过去了，那阵雨喧闹的夏季。 不再想那严峻的闷热的考验， 危险游泳中的细节回忆。 经历过春天萌芽的破土， 幼芽成长中的扭曲和受伤， 这些枝条在烈日下也狂热过， 差点在雨夜中迷失方向。 现在，平易的天空没有浮云， 山川明净，视野格外宽远； 智慧、感情都成熟的季节啊， 河水也像是来自更深处的源泉。 紊乱的气流经过发酵， 在山谷里酿成透明的好酒； 吹来的是第几阵秋意？醉人的香味, 已把秋花秋叶深深染透。 街树也用红颜色暗示点什么， 自行车的车轮闪射着朝气； 塔吊的长臂在高空指向远方， 秋阳在上面扫描丰收的信息。
