执笔亦扛锄 绘就乡村美好生活
执笔亦扛锄 绘就乡村美好生活

Pei Aimin is a farmer living in a small desert village in Minqin County, Gansu Province. For over 30 years, she has held on to two simple passions (酷爱): farming the land and reading and writing. Online, she is known as “Field Mouse Auntie”. This special nickname comes from her deep love for fairy tales. 
Pei’s life is much like that of most rural women of her generation. She finished junior high and married young. The villagers around her cared mostly about crop harvests and farm animals; few understood her passion for books. Yet Pei never gave up. Even during the busiest farming seasons, she carried a notebook and a pen to write down her thoughts at any time.
For Pei, books are the best shelter for her soul. In 2011, she started a Weibo account to share peaceful rural moments—the smell of fresh soil, wind sweeping through corn fields and old village memories. Her warm and poetic words attracted thousands of readers across the country. In 2022, she published her book Field Mouse Auntie’s Diary.
Now in her fifties, Pei still keeps her daily routine: farming by day and reading and writing by night. As old villagers pass away and rural traditions fade, she feels it is her duty to record these disappearing stories. Through her words, she hopes to show the world that ordinary country life has its own beauty and meaning.

1.1.Why is Pei called “Field Mouse Auntie” online?

A Because she raises mice on her farm.

B Because she enjoys fairy tales.

C Because she looks small and quick.

D Because she writes stories about mice.

解析:选B。B细节理解题。文章第一段明确提到“This special nickname comes from her deep love for fairy tales”,她的昵称源于对童话故事的酷爱,因此B项正确。A项“在农场养老鼠”、C项“看起来小巧敏捷”、D项“写关于老鼠的故事”在文中均未提及,与昵称由来无关。故选B。

2.2. What can we know about local villagers around Pei?

A They loved reading.

B They wrote stories.

C They valued farming.

D They liked drawing.

解析:选C。C细节理解题。第二段指出“The villagers around her cared mostly about crop harvests and farm animals”,说明周围的村民最关心庄稼收成和家畜,也就是重视农耕,因此C项正确。A项“喜爱阅读”与文中“few understood her passion for books”相悖,B项“写故事”和D项“喜欢画画”均未提及。故选C。

3.3. What happened in 2011?

A Pei left school.

B Pei got married.

C Pei opened a Weibo account.

D Pei published her first book.

解析:选C。C细节理解题。第三段直接交代“In 2011, she started a Weibo account”,2011年她开通了微博账号,因此C项正确。A项“离开学校”对应文中“finished junior high”,B项“结婚”对应“married young”,两者均发生在年轻时,并非2011年;D项“出版第一本书”发生在2022年,时间不符。故选C。

4.4. What does the underlined word “fade” mean?

A Disappear gradually.

B Become popular again.

C Change suddenly.

D Develop quickly.

解析:选A。A词义猜测题。画线词所在句子为“rural traditions fade”,后文她用“disappearing stories”来呼应,并感到有责任去记录这些正在消失的事物,由此可推断fade意为“逐渐消失”,故选A。B项“再次流行”、C项“突然改变”、D项“快速发展”均与“正在消失”的语境不符。故选A。

5.5. What can we infer from the passage?

A Pei wants to stop farming and write full-time.

B Pei writes books mainly to make much money.

C Pei will move away from her hometown soon.

D Pei believes rural life should be recorded and valued.

解析:选D。D推理判断题。文章结尾段提到,随着老人离世和乡村传统逐渐消失,裴爱民觉得记录这些故事是自己的责任,并希望向世界展示平凡乡村生活的美和意义,由此可以推断她认为乡村生活应当被记录和珍视,因此D项正确。A项“停止农耕全职写作”与文中“farming by day and reading and writing by night”的日常不符;B项“写书主要为赚钱”在文中毫无依据;C项“很快会搬离家乡”也未提及,均无法从文章推断出来。故选D。
