【题干】I began writing poems fifteen years ago while I was in college. One day I was in the library, working on a term paper, when I came across a book of contemporary poetry. I don't remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one: "Frankenstein's Daughter". The poem was wild, almost rude, and nothing like the thyme-and-meter poetry I had read in high school. I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach, but that library book contained the direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs, junked cars, run-down houses, and TVs. I checked the book out, curious to read more.
Soon afterward, I started filling a notebook with my own poems. At first I was scared, partly because my poetry teacher was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems. Also, I realized the seriousness of my devotion. I gave up geography to study poetry, which a good many friends said offered no future. I ignored them because I liked working with words and using them to reconstruct the past, which has always been a source of poetry for me.
When I first studied poetry, I was single-minded. I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry. I memorized poems, read English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems, and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my works. But I was most taken by Spanish and Latin American poets, particularly Pablo Neruda. My favorites of his were the poems celebrating common things like tomatoes, socks and scissors. I felt joyful when I read these odes, and when I began to write my own poems, I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood—dogs, alleys（小巷）, my baseball mitt（手套） and the fruit of the valley, especially the orange. I wanted to give these things life and write so well that my poems would express their beauty.
I also admired our own country's poetry. I saw that our poets often wrote about places where they grew up or places that impressed them deeply. James Wright wrote about Ohio and West Virginia, Philip Levine about Detroit, Cary Snyder about the Sierra Nevadas and about Japan, where for years he studied Zen Buddhism（禅宗佛教）. I decided to write about the San Joaquin Valley, where my hometown, Fresno, is located. Some of my poems are absolute observations and images of nature. I fell in love with the valley, both its ugliness and its beauty, and quietly wrote poems about it to share with others.

【题干】You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible（有形的） things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.
These are among some 40 collections that are being shown at "The Museum Of"—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of muse-ums, not what museums normally represent.
Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from trees, for example. But they all reveal（显露） a lot of things; ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.
Others on the way include "The Museum of Collectors" and "The Museum of Me". These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of "The Museum Of". The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important points: the beginning or end of adolescence—"it's a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up," says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial（顺序排列的） arrangement is comforting.
44. How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums
A. By collecting more tangible things.
B. By showing what ordinary people have collected.
C. By correcting what museums normally represent.
D. By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.
45. What can be learned about collectors from their collections
A. Who they are.
B. How old they are.
C. Where they were born.
D. Why they might not mean to collect.
46. Which of the following is an aim of the new museums
A. To help people sell their collections.
B. To encourage more people to collect.
C. To study the significance of collecting.
D. To find out why people visit museums.
47. According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they ________.
A. become adults
B. feel happy with life
C. are ready for a relationship
D. feel time to be uncontrollable
【答案】44．B 45．A 46．C 47．A
【解析44．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的"The Museum Of"—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors.可知答案为B项。

【题干】请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填上一个最恰当的单词。
Imagine living in a country tom by war. Or maybe you live in a place where there are few jobs and little chance to earn a living. Your family decides to move—not to another town, but to another country. You and your family have become immigrants. People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes.
People become immigrants for many reasons. The most common one is economic opportunities. Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmlands, or business opportunities.
Other people become immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters. They are refugees（难民） . Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest. Others are seeking freedom to express their religious views. Still others are uprooted by disasters, such as terrible flooding or drought.
Some people have become immigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains.
Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearly 500 years, immigrants have landed on America's shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked low-paying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do.
Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language common to most Americans. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have become part of American life.
The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize（使成为殖民地） new lands. By the mid-1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American Southwest. French immigrants arrived in the early 1600s and built their first colony in Canad【选项一】
A. The English also arrived in the early 1600s. They established 13 colonies along America's Atlantic Coast.
In the 1700s, England became the major power in colonial North America. But many European immigrants came to live in the English colorues. They included people from Sweden, Holland, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland.
Immigrants still come to the United States seeking freedom and economic opportunities. Most new immigrants no longer come from Europe. They come mainly from Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia.
Today, the U.S. government limits the number of immigrants into the country each year. People who sneak illegally into the United States are called illegal immigrants, who, if caught, would be sent back to their home countries.

【题干】I began writing poems fifteen years ago while I was in college. One day I was in the library, working on a term paper, when I came across a book of contemporary poetry. I don't remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one: "Frankenstein's Daughter". The poem was wild, almost rude, and nothing like the thyme-and-meter poetry I had read in high school. I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach, but that library book contained the direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs, junked cars, run-down houses, and TVs. I checked the book out, curious to read more.
Soon afterward, I started filling a notebook with my own poems. At first I was scared, partly because my poetry teacher was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems. Also, I realized the seriousness of my devotion. I gave up geography to study poetry, which a good many friends said offered no future. I ignored them because I liked working with words and using them to reconstruct the past, which has always been a source of poetry for me.
When I first studied poetry, I was single-minded. I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry. I memorized poems, read English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems, and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my works. But I was most taken by Spanish and Latin American poets, particularly Pablo Neruda. My favorites of his were the poems celebrating common things like tomatoes, socks and scissors. I felt joyful when I read these odes, and when I began to write my own poems, I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood—dogs, alleys（小巷）, my baseball mitt（手套） and the fruit of the valley, especially the orange. I wanted to give these things life and write so well that my poems would express their beauty.
I also admired our own country's poetry. I saw that our poets often wrote about places where they grew up or places that impressed them deeply. James Wright wrote about Ohio and West Virginia, Philip Levine about Detroit, Cary Snyder about the Sierra Nevadas and about Japan, where for years he studied Zen Buddhism（禅宗佛教）. I decided to write about the San Joaquin Valley, where my hometown, Fresno, is located. Some of my poems are absolute observations and images of nature. I fell in love with the valley, both its ugliness and its beauty, and quietly wrote poems about it to share with others.

【题干】You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible（有形的） things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.
These are among some 40 collections that are being shown at "The Museum Of"—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of muse-ums, not what museums normally represent.
Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from trees, for example. But they all reveal（显露） a lot of things; ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.
Others on the way include "The Museum of Collectors" and "The Museum of Me". These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of "The Museum Of". The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important points: the beginning or end of adolescence—"it's a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up," says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial（顺序排列的） arrangement is comforting.
44. How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums
A. By collecting more tangible things.
B. By showing what ordinary people have collected.
C. By correcting what museums normally represent.
D. By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.
45. What can be learned about collectors from their collections
A. Who they are.
B. How old they are.
C. Where they were born.
D. Why they might not mean to collect.
46. Which of the following is an aim of the new museums
A. To help people sell their collections.
B. To encourage more people to collect.
C. To study the significance of collecting.
D. To find out why people visit museums.
47. According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they ________.
A. become adults
B. feel happy with life
C. are ready for a relationship
D. feel time to be uncontrollable

Imagine living in a country tom by war. Or maybe you live in a place where there are few jobs and little chance to earn a living. Your family decides to move—not to another town, but to another country. You and your family have become immigrants. People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes.
People become immigrants for many reasons. The most common one is economic opportunities. Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmlands, or business opportunities.
Other people become immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters. They are refugees（难民） . Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest. Others are seeking freedom to express their religious views. Still others are uprooted by disasters, such as terrible flooding or drought.
Some people have become immigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains.
Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearly 500 years, immigrants have landed on America's shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked low-paying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do.
Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language common to most Americans. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have become part of American life.
The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize（使成为殖民地） new lands. By the mid-1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American Southwest. French immigrants arrived in the early 1600s and built their first colony in Canad【选项一】
A. The English also arrived in the early 1600s. They established 13 colonies along America's Atlantic Coast.
In the 1700s, England became the major power in colonial North America. But many European immigrants came to live in the English colorues. They included people from Sweden, Holland, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland.
Immigrants still come to the United States seeking freedom and economic opportunities. Most new immigrants no longer come from Europe. They come mainly from Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia.
Today, the U.S. government limits the number of immigrants into the country each year. People who sneak illegally into the United States are called illegal immigrants, who, if caught, would be sent back to their home countries.
