五、(2025·泰州市海陵区期末)阅读理解。(15分)
新素养 家国情怀 Gong Zizhen was a famous poet and thinker in the Qing dynasty. He was born in Zhejiang in 1792. When he was young, he worked very hard and was crazy about reading. In 1839, he wrote over 300 poems. Most of them were about social problems. One of them was Miscellanies of the Year 1839 (V)(《己亥杂诗(其五)》) and it clearly showed his strong feelings of saving poor people and doing something for the country.
At first, Gong wrote about what was happening at that time. As a member of government of the Qing dynasty, Gong agreed with Lin Zexu's decision. However, they failed and Gong had to return to his hometown.
Then, Gong wrote about the falling sun. In Chinese poetry, to write about the falling sun is to write about the passing of time and the loss of hope. It was clear that the poet was sad to leave Beijing because he had many friends there. He was also sad that he lost the chance to work for the country.
Gong's sadness was true, but it didn't go on too long. At the end of the poem, Gong wrote about the "fallen flowers". He didn't say much about his sadness any more. He told the readers to believe fallen flowers would nurture(滋养) flowers' growth next spring instead. As a patriot (爱国主义者), he went on to teach a lot of excellent students during the rest of his life. He still cared about the country and would do something for the country in other ways.
