一、阅读理解
Teaching Poetry
No poem should ever be “discussed” or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student.Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting (背诵) it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn't time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening (提升) of life”.It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
1.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ________.
A.discuss it with others
B.analyze it by oneself
C.copy it down in a notebook
D.practise reading it aloud
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry
A.Extending your life. B.Saving your life.
C.Criticizing life. D.Heightening life.
3.According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ________.
A.to understand life B.to enjoy poetry
C.to become teachers D.to become poets
4.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply
A.The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.
B.The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject.
C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
D.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
5.The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by ________.
A.build a booth
B.provide equipment
C.leave a certain amount of time
D.set aside enough space

Bidding Deputy Magistrate Du Farewell
(送杜少府之任蜀州)
Wang Bo
The capital and palace are guarded by the land of three Qin kingdoms,
In the distance the Five Ferries are screened by wind and mist.
Now comes the time for us to bid farewell to each other,
And we will both be officials away from home on duty.
So long as we remain bosom friends in our heart of hearts,
We'll still feel like neighbours despite the distance apart.
So don't let us shed silly tears like youngsters,
At that last moment when we both wave goodbye.

二、参考范文:
This famous poem of Wang Bo tells a story when the poet saw his friend off to go on their duty.They both felt sad for the departure but eventually they cheered up because as long as they kept each other in hearts, they were near.
Our Chinese poem has a long history and it has always enriched our life.From the earliest Classic of Poetry to modern free forms, poems have been popular with the development of our country.People can express what they want to say in poems, including pride, happiness, victory, sorrow, anger and so on.
I like poems very much and I always want to write poems of my own.This is not easy for me because I find it difficult to express my feelings and thoughts in such limited words.However, nothing is unconquerable to a willing heart.With my diligence and determination, I finally can be called “a little poet” in my classmates' eyes.
Poems not only nourish my life but also teach me to be a man of strong will.
