I am in a seventh-grade language arts class in an upstairs room in the old red-brick junior high school building. The afternoon sun streams through high windows that face the playground. It is the day I remember when I heard this phrase for the first time: “the little lame balloonman”.
It's from in Just-, E.E. Cummings's poem we are reading. Mr. Katz is trying to loosen up our adolescent imaginations to the point where we might appreciate figurative(比喻的)language. There are phrases like “the world is mud-luscious”, and then “puddle-wonderful”. Something begins to grow in me as a reader: the mixture of descriptive words and words expressing action.
Words would be and do what they describe! I'd like to think Mr. Katz was conspiring with the poem, sun, spring and kid energy, not just a lesson plan. From then on, I was a new reader and writer. I looked on that poem as a starting line. I heard the call of poetry.
I would see in Just- in nearly every poem in my language arts life. It was in my very old A Pocket Book of Modern Verse, edited by Oscar Williams and in An Introduction to Poetry, by X.J. Kennedy. I began to understand that a poet is describing the world, experience, or concepts in a way that eliminates(消除)dullness, commonness, and indifference(冷漠). “Poetry provides the one permissible(允许的)way of saying one thing and meaning another,” Robert Frost explained.
Reading poems became a daily practice. I collect my own favorite expressions of life's joys and sufferings. I'm fond of Billy Collins's view: “The history of poetry is the only surviving history we have of human emotion. It is the history of the human heart. There is no other one.”
The special poems always lead me back to my memory of a sunny classroom, in junior high school when Mr. Katz carefully brought us into a new field—a moment that got me out of middle school mundanity(平庸,世俗). Even the dance on Friday and my drum lesson on Wednesday afternoon paled in comparison(显得逊色). I was addicted to poetry.
4.What is Mr. Katz trying to do in his class
A.Fire up students' interest in poetry.
B.Finish his lesson plan on time.
C.Teach students to write poems.
D.Use great words to express himself.
5.What did Robert Frost think of poetry
A.It makes the theme obvious.
B.It talks about practical concepts.
C.It carries underlying meaning.
D.It allows dullness and commonness.
6.How did the author find his/her middle school
A.The dance on Friday was quite boring.
B.The language arts lesson was incomparable.
C.The school life remained generally the same.
D.The drum lesson on Wednesday was a piece of cake.
7.What's the best title for the article
A.My junior school life
B.Mr. Katz's language arts lessons
C.My language arts life
D.My love of poetry
C
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You've got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and any one with a dream must learn to live there.
8.The passage is meant to .
A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C.show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D.encourage young people to pursue a writing career
9.What can be concluded from the passage
A.Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
B.A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.
C.Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
D.The chances for a writer to become successful are small.
10.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career
A.He wasn't able to produce a single book.
B.He hadn't seen a change for the better.
C.He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.
D.He found his dream would never come true.
11.“Shadowland” in the last paragraph refers to .
A.the wonderland one often dreams about
B.the bright future that one is looking forward to
C.the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reached
D.a world that exists only in one's imagination
D
We know that reading is good for children. Now, a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits. A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up with a large library at home improves literacy (读写能力),number sense, and even technological skills in one's later life. It appeared in the journal Social Science Research.
The researchers were exploring the advantages of scholarly culture. They were interested in a curious observation that some call the “radiation effect”. Radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books, but they don't read books. But somehow books benefit them, even though they don't read them as much as their parents wish them to. Joanna Sikora, a sociologist in Australia, and her colleagues analysed data collected between 2011 and 2015 by the Organization for Economic Development. The survey assessed the literacy, numeracy(计算能力), and technological competency of more than 160,000 adults from 31 countries. And it included a question about how many books participants had in their homes during adolescence. “What we were able to make clear was that people growing up around books had better literacy, numeracy and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs, and even similar adult habits in terms of reading or working at various numeracy-improving activities.”
In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment did as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books. Now, how might mere exposure lead to intellectual improvement “If we grow up in a home where parents enjoy books, or where books are given as birthday presents and valued, this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would.”
So keep shelves piled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, but they'll be more likely to be able to spell “grateful” correctly as well.
12.What's “radiation effect” according to the passage
A.The terrible effect of radiation on persons and things.
B.The good influence of bookish environment on adolescents.
C.The beneficial effect of reading books on adolescents.
D.The bad effect of the environment without books on adolescents.
13.How does the exposure to books improve intellect
A.Books bring a sense of identity and eagerness to read more.
B.Books help to provide a chance to come close to the society.
C.Books are always given to adolescents as valuable presents.
D.Books will offer the teens an urge to make great achievements.
14.What's the author's attitude towards bookish environment
A.Opposed. B.Neutral.
C.Unclear. D.Supportive.
15.What is the passage probably from
A.A travel brochure.
B.A biology textbook.
C.A science magazine.
D.A history discovery.

So, You Want to Be a Writer
What are some tips on becoming a writer
1.Read everything you can. Most writers are good readers. They read because they love to lose themselves in books. They like the sounds of languages and the way that reading a good description can feel as satisfying as winning a race or eating really good food. 16 Do you like stories that are fast-paced and full of unexpected twists Do you prefer to read books with characters who seem like someone you might know Do you like to feel scared or do you like a story that makes you laugh until you cry Think about the types of writing you like best, and try to identify the qualities that attract you.
2. 17 It's easy to forget a good idea if you do not record it immediately. If you get into the habit of carrying a notebook or journal with you everywhere you go, you can write down anything you want to remember. When you are talking to friends in the cafeteria or waiting for the bus, something might give you an idea for a character or a scene in a story. You might have a dream you don't want to forget, or you might just write down the lyrics of a song you love. 18
3.Do your homework. If you decide that you would like to submit your work for publication, make sure you do your research. If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old issues. 19 If you are submitting it to a book publisher, explore their website to make sure your material is similar to (but not exactly the same as) other books they publish.
4.Stay positive. A writer's life can be frustrating. Sometimes it's hard to sit down and write. 20 This is why perseverance is an important quality for a writer to have.
A.Talk to friends.
B.Keep a notebook.
C.As you read, pay attention to what speaks to you.
D.You may get many refusals before you receive a single acceptance.
E.Does it seem like your writing fits in with other stories or articles
F.These everyday thoughts and observations can be material for your writing one day.
G.Writing is a good way to clear your mind and make room for more of the “good stuff”.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Book of Songs is the 36 (early) collection of Chinese poetry. It consists of 305 poems dating 37 the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle stage of the Spring and Autumn Period. Nowadays, Confucius is generally believed to be the 38 (edit) of the book.
The Book of Songs is rich in content, 39 (reflect) love and labor, war and slavery, custom and marriage, ancestor worship and special events. It is a mirror of social life.
All the poems included in The Book of Songs fall into three sections—poems 40 come from villages belong to Feng; the poems 41 (write) to persuade or praise the rulers belong to Ya; those used at religious ceremonies belong to Song. Ya and Song are flowery and serious in language, 42 Feng is relatively inspiring and full of passion.
The opening poem of The Book of Songs, Cooing and Wooing(《关雎》), is about love, which 43 (read):
By riverside are cooing
A pair of turtledoves;
A good young man is wooing
A fair maiden he loves.
Through these lines, the poet expresses the man's longing for 44 girl and his hope that one day he can win the girl's heart.
As the beginning of ancient Chinese poetry, The Book of Songs enables people to have a better understanding of Chinese civilization. Moreover, it is also 45 (frequent) quoted in other Chinese texts and has always been referred to as moral truths and lessons.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It's funny that you can always tell when somebody's laughing behind your back. Jodie hadn't really heard anything, maybe a whisper, but when she turned around, the girls in the back row of the class were looking at her, trying to hide smiles and laughs. She looked back at her teacher. Mr Swales was talking about what people do all day. He also wanted to find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up.
He called on Billy Miter first. “My daddy works in a bank,” Billy Miter said. “I guess I want to work in a bank too. There's lots of money in the bank.” “My parents have a grocery store,” Emmy Diesel said. “Papa's behind the counter and Mama keeps the cash register. But I want to be an airline pilot.”
Jodie liked it when Mr Swales asked them questions like this. He was about to call on Jodie when the girls in the back row burst out laughing.
Shirley Danes yelled, “Jodie's daddy is a garbage man!”
Everybody in the class laughed out loud. Everybody except Jodie, that is. She felt her face turned bright red. She looked around the whole classroom. Everyone was laughing. Some kids were even holding their noses.
Jodie looked at Mr Swales. He was angry. He almost never raised his voice, but now he did.
“Silence! I want everybody to quiet down this instant.”
The laughter stopped immediately. The sound of cars and people going by out on the street came through the windows.“You should be ashamed of yourselves,” Mr Swales said. “Being a garbage man...I mean, is a difficult and enormously useful job. We should all be grateful to Mr Harris. Where would we be without him Until our cars are in garbage—that's where. How would you like that ”
“It's not funny,” Mr Swales went on. “Garbage is a serious matter. I think you all owe Jodie an apology. And after that, you're all going to write Jodie's father, Mr Harris, a nice letter to tell him how much you appreciate what he does for all of us. In other words, keeping our city clean.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Everyone said “Sorry, Jodie”, but Jodie could tell they didn't really mean it.
Paragraph 2:
Jodie's father came to walk her home from school as usual.
参考答案与解析
第一部分 阅读
第一节
A
语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文,介绍了一次诗歌比赛的相关事宜。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Public Poetry is making this contest FREE. All our activities focus on creating new opportunities for poets and poetry.”(“公共诗歌”让这个比赛免费进行。我们所有的活动都专注于为诗人和诗歌创造新的机会。)可知,“公共诗歌”举办诗歌比赛。故选A项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This time, we need your help to accomplish this. What you give is what we'll give. 100% of the donations will go towards prizes, readers and judges' fees, and anthology publication costs.”(这次,我们需要您的帮助来完成这件事情。您给的就是我们将会给的。捐款将100%用于奖金、读者和评委的费用以及诗选出版费用。)可知,本段是为了鼓励捐赠。故选C项。
3.B 细节理解题。根据GUIDELINES中的最后一条“Failure to follow any contest guidelines may result in your submission disqualification.”(不遵守竞赛规则可能导致您提交的作品被取消资格。)可知,应该选择不符合规则的一项。再根据GUIDELINES中的“Your name and other identified information CANNOT appear anywhere in the submission itself.”(您的姓名和其他显示身份的信息不能出现在提交的作品本身的任何地方。)可知,B项“提交的作品上的作者名字”会导致提交资格被取消。故选B项。A、C、D三项都符合参赛要求,故不会被取消参赛资格。
B
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆起自己初中时上Katz先生的语言艺术课,对诗歌产生了兴趣,在之后的日子里作者阅读名家的诗歌,读诗成了每天的惯例。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mr. Katz is trying to loosen up our adolescent imaginations to the point where we might appreciate figurative language. (Katz先生试图释放我们青少年的想象力,让我们能够欣赏比喻性语言)”以及第三段中“I'd like to think Mr. Katz was conspiring with the poem, sun, spring and kid energy, not just a lesson plan. (我想Katz先生像是在与诗歌、阳光、春天和孩子的活力密谋,而不仅仅是完成一个教学计划)”可知,Katz先生在课堂上想激发学生对诗歌的兴趣。故选A。
5.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another,’Robert Frost explained. (罗伯特·弗罗斯特解释说:‘诗歌提供了一种陈述一件事而表达另一种含义的允许方式。’)”可推知,罗伯特·弗罗斯特认为诗歌有潜在的含义。故选C。
6.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The special poems always lead me back to my memory of a sunny classroom, in junior high school...my drum lesson on Wednesday afternoon paled in comparison.(这些特别的诗总是把我带回我对初中一间阳光明媚的教室的记忆,当时Katz先生小心翼翼地把我们带到了一个新的领域——这一刻让我走出了中学的平庸。相比之下,就连周五的舞蹈和周三下午的打鼓课也黯然失色了)”可知,语言艺术课是无与伦比的。所以B项正确,C项错误。注意原文只是说和语言艺术课相比,舞蹈和打鼓课也黯然失色了,并不是说舞蹈很无聊或打鼓课是小菜一碟,A、D两项表述是错误的。
7.D 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“From then on, I was a new reader and writer. I looked on that poem as a starting line. I heard the call of poetry. (从那时起,我成了一个新的读者和作家。我把那首诗视为起跑线,我听到了诗的召唤)”并结合文章中作者回忆起自己初中时上Katz先生的语言艺术课,对诗歌产生了兴趣,在之后的日子里作者阅读名家诗歌,读诗成了每天的惯例。故“我对诗歌的热爱”最适合作文章标题,故选D。
C
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的经历告诉读者写作是一件孤独、私人且收入微薄的事情,并以此告诫年轻人,想要成为一个成功的作家必须要经历艰辛。
8.A 推理判断题。第一段写很多年轻人告诉作者想当作家,第二、三段讲写作是一种孤独、私人的和报酬低的工作,并用自己的亲身经历说明了该观点。由此可知全文旨在告诫年轻人,一个成功的作家必须要经历艰辛,故选A。
9.D 细节理解题。由第二段第二句“For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.”可知,每个受运气青睐的作家后面都有无数盼望着成功却从未成功的人,即只有少数的人能够成功,故选D。
10.B 推理判断题。由第二段倒数第二句“It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.”可知作者刚开始做自由撰稿人时的条件很艰苦,状况很差。由第三段第二句“It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat.”可知,一年以后作者仍难以维持生计,可见作者的状况比起一年前并没有好转。由此推知作者怀疑自己是因为情况没有改善,故选B。A项“他一本书也写不出来”原文没有提到;C项容易受第三段中的hadn't got a break的影响而错选,注意解答此题要结合下文内容去推断,在整体的语境中可以理解这里的break不是“休息”的意思,而是“(持续一段时间的状况的)改变”;D项“他发现他的梦想永远都不会实现”无从得出。
11.C 词义猜测题。由最后一段倒数第二句“I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.”可知继续考验自己的梦想就意味着忍受不确定和失败的恐惧,因此最后一段中 shadowland指未达到最终目标前的不确定状态,故选C。
D
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究,研究发现:孩子从小生活在有书的环境中,即使不读书,这种环境也对孩子有好的影响。
12.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books, but they don't read books. But somehow books benefit them(辐射效应是孩子们在书的周围长大,但他们不读书,但不知何故,书对他们有利)可知,“radiation effect”指的是有书的环境对青少年有好的影响,故选B。
13.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would(这成为我们身份的一部分,给了我们一种终生的渴望,总想接近书籍,阅读比我们想读的更多的书籍)可知,接触书籍可以提高智力是因为书可以带来身份感和读更多书的渴望,故选A。注意B项中的“接近社会”和D项中的“取得伟大成就的冲动”都是文中没有提到的;而C项只是接触书籍的一种现象,并不是接触书籍是如何提高智力这一问题的回答。
14.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段 So keep shelves piled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, but they'll be more likely to be able to spell “grateful” correctly as well.(所以把书架上堆满书。你的孩子不仅会感恩,而且也更有可能正确拼写“grateful”这个单词)可知,作者对有书的环境的态度是支持的。故选D。
15.C 推理判断题。根据文章的内容尤其是第一段最后一句It appeared in the journal Social Science Research.(它出现在《社会科学研究》杂志上)可知文章介绍了一项研究,研究发现:孩子从小生活在有书的环境中,即使不读书,这种环境也对孩子有好的影响,故这篇文章应该是出自科学杂志,故选C。
第二节
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了要想成为一名作家应该做的事情。
16.C 该空的后面是一连串的问题,且该段最后一句说到思考一下你最喜欢的文章类型,试着找出吸引你的特质,所以C项(当你阅读时,注意一下那些吸引你的东西。)符合语境。
17.B 设空处为标题句,根据其他段落的标题句都是祈使句可知只有选项A和B符合,根据下文If you get into the habit of carrying a notebook or journal...remember.可知本段建议带一个笔记本,故选B。
18.F 根据上文you can write down anything you want to remember(你可以写下任何你想记住的东西)可知这段的建议是随时记下所思及所看,F项(这些日常的想法和观察可能有一天会成为你写作的素材。)总结了为什么要有一个笔记本,故选F。
19.E 根据上文If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old issues. (如果你要把你的文章寄给一家杂志,看看以前的几期。)和下文If you are submitting it to a book publisher, explore their website to make sure your material is similar to (but not exactly the same as) other books they publish.[如果你向图书出版商投稿,探索他们的网站以确保你的素材与他们出版的其他书籍相似(但不完全相同)。]可知,设空句应该介绍投稿时需要注意的事情,E项(你的文章与其他的故事或文章看上去是否相符 )符合语境,故选E。
20.D 设空句后why引导的表语从句是结果,提示前面的设空句为原因,根据下文This is why perseverance is an important quality for a writer to have.可知,This指代空格处的句子,因此推断D项(在你的文章被接受之前,你可能会遭到很多次拒绝。)符合语境,这就是为什么毅力是作家的重要品质。故选D。
第二部分 语言运用
第一节
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了著名作家霍桑成名前,在妻子的鼓励下由失业落魄走上创作之路,完成了自己的成名作《红字》。
21.A 考查副词。句意:他的老板粗鲁地说:“你的服务不再被需要了。” rudely粗鲁地;normally正常地;patiently耐心地;hesitantly迟疑地。根据后文“Your service is no longer needed.”可知老板解雇他,态度粗鲁。故选A。
22.D 考查名词。 句意:当他到家的时候,他非常悲伤。 thrill激动;trouble麻烦,烦恼;relief宽慰;sadness悲伤,悲痛。根据上文“Hawthorne left the building, filled with despair.”可知,霍桑失业了,感到很悲伤,故选D。
23.B 考查副词。句意:然后,索菲娅的脸上渐渐出现一丝微笑。again再次;then然后;thus因此;instead反而。结合上文“A tense silence followed.”可知先是一阵紧张的沉默,然后(then)索菲娅的脸上渐渐出现一丝微笑,故选B。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章给我们介绍了《诗经》的一些知识。
36.earliest 考查形容词最高级。句意:《诗经》是中国最早的诗集。由句意可知此处应用形容词最高级earliest。
37.from 考查介词。句意:它由从西周初期至春秋中期的305首诗组成。date from意为“追溯到……”。故填from。
38.editor 考查名词。句意:现在,人们普遍认为孔子是这本书的编辑。由设空处前后的the和of可知此处应填名词,结合句意可知填editor。
39.reflecting 考查现在分词。句意:《诗经》内容丰富,反映了爱情与劳动、战争与奴役、风俗与婚姻、祭祖和特殊事件。分析句子结构可知,设空处需用非谓语动词作状语,且The Book of Songs与动词reflect之间是主动关系,故用现在分词reflecting。
40.that/which 考查定语从句。此处指来自乡村的诗歌属于《风》。分析句子结构可知, 40 come from villages是一个定语从句,修饰先行词poems,且关系词在定语从句中作主语,故填关系代词that/which。
41.written 考查过去分词。句意:……为劝说或赞美统治者而写的诗歌属于《雅》……。分析句子结构可知,设空处作后置定语修饰名词poems,且名词poems与write之间是被动关系,所以填过去分词written。
42.while 考查连词。句意:《雅》和《颂》的语言华丽严肃,而《风》则比较鼓舞人心、充满激情。由句意可知,设空处前后有对比之意,故填连词while“然而”。
43.reads 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处指诗中写道。分析句子结构可知,设空处充当定语从句的谓语;本句陈述一个事实,需用一般现在时,定语从句的先行词为Cooing and Wooing,所以从句的谓语动词应用单数形式。故填reads。
44.a 考查冠词。句意:通过这些诗句,诗人表达了这个男子对一个女孩的渴望,希望有一天他能赢得女孩的心。由句意可知此处表泛指,表示“一个女孩”,且girl以辅音音素开头,故填不定冠词a。
45.frequently 考查副词。此处指此外,它也经常被引用在其他中文文稿中。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句中作状语,修饰动词quoted,故填副词frequently。

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Everyone said “Sorry, Jodie”, but Jodie could tell they didn't really mean it. Jodie also knew nobody wanted to write her father a letter. Her face became hot and she felt like crying. Mr Swales came to her desk and patted her on the shoulder,“Let's go out to the hall and have a chat.” Jodie started crying in the hall. “I'm sorry for what happened,” Mr Swales said. “But remember, any work done well is something to be proud of.”
Paragraph 2:
Jodie's father came to walk her home from school as usual. She didn't run up to him the way she always did. When they arrived home, Jodie went to her little room and cried for a good long time before she had her supper. Mr Harris noticed her red eyes and asked, “What happened, Jodie ” Jodie told her father what had happened. He didn't seem angry. He laughed and said, “Although my work seems to be a humble one, my devotion to the job will be everlasting and encouraging.” Hearing what her father said, Jodie felt much relieved.

I am in a seventh-grade language arts class in an upstairs room in the old red-brick junior high school building. The afternoon sun streams through high windows that face the playground. It is the day I remember when I heard this phrase for the first time: “the little lame balloonman”.
It's from in Just-, E.E. Cummings's poem we are reading. Mr. Katz is trying to loosen up our adolescent imaginations to the point where we might appreciate figurative(比喻的)language. There are phrases like “the world is mud-luscious”, and then “puddle-wonderful”. Something begins to grow in me as a reader: the mixture of descriptive words and words expressing action.
Words would be and do what they describe! I'd like to think Mr. Katz was conspiring with the poem, sun, spring and kid energy, not just a lesson plan. From then on, I was a new reader and writer. I looked on that poem as a starting line. I heard the call of poetry.
I would see in Just- in nearly every poem in my language arts life. It was in my very old A Pocket Book of Modern Verse, edited by Oscar Williams and in An Introduction to Poetry, by X.J. Kennedy. I began to understand that a poet is describing the world, experience, or concepts in a way that eliminates(消除)dullness, commonness, and indifference(冷漠). “Poetry provides the one permissible(允许的)way of saying one thing and meaning another,” Robert Frost explained.
Reading poems became a daily practice. I collect my own favorite expressions of life's joys and sufferings. I'm fond of Billy Collins's view: “The history of poetry is the only surviving history we have of human emotion. It is the history of the human heart. There is no other one.”
The special poems always lead me back to my memory of a sunny classroom, in junior high school when Mr. Katz carefully brought us into a new field—a moment that got me out of middle school mundanity(平庸,世俗). Even the dance on Friday and my drum lesson on Wednesday afternoon paled in comparison(显得逊色). I was addicted to poetry.
4.What is Mr. Katz trying to do in his class
A.Fire up students' interest in poetry.
B.Finish his lesson plan on time.
C.Teach students to write poems.
D.Use great words to express himself.
5.What did Robert Frost think of poetry
A.It makes the theme obvious.
B.It talks about practical concepts.
C.It carries underlying meaning.
D.It allows dullness and commonness.
6.How did the author find his/her middle school
A.The dance on Friday was quite boring.
B.The language arts lesson was incomparable.
C.The school life remained generally the same.
D.The drum lesson on Wednesday was a piece of cake.
7.What's the best title for the article
A.My junior school life
B.Mr. Katz's language arts lessons
C.My language arts life
D.My love of poetry
C
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You've got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and any one with a dream must learn to live there.
8.The passage is meant to .
A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C.show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D.encourage young people to pursue a writing career
9.What can be concluded from the passage
A.Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
B.A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.
C.Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
D.The chances for a writer to become successful are small.
10.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career
A.He wasn't able to produce a single book.
B.He hadn't seen a change for the better.
C.He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.
D.He found his dream would never come true.
11.“Shadowland” in the last paragraph refers to .
A.the wonderland one often dreams about
B.the bright future that one is looking forward to
C.the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reached
D.a world that exists only in one's imagination
D
We know that reading is good for children. Now, a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits. A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up with a large library at home improves literacy (读写能力),number sense, and even technological skills in one's later life. It appeared in the journal Social Science Research.
The researchers were exploring the advantages of scholarly culture. They were interested in a curious observation that some call the “radiation effect”. Radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books, but they don't read books. But somehow books benefit them, even though they don't read them as much as their parents wish them to. Joanna Sikora, a sociologist in Australia, and her colleagues analysed data collected between 2011 and 2015 by the Organization for Economic Development. The survey assessed the literacy, numeracy(计算能力), and technological competency of more than 160,000 adults from 31 countries. And it included a question about how many books participants had in their homes during adolescence. “What we were able to make clear was that people growing up around books had better literacy, numeracy and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs, and even similar adult habits in terms of reading or working at various numeracy-improving activities.”
In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment did as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books. Now, how might mere exposure lead to intellectual improvement “If we grow up in a home where parents enjoy books, or where books are given as birthday presents and valued, this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would.”
So keep shelves piled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, but they'll be more likely to be able to spell “grateful” correctly as well.
12.What's “radiation effect” according to the passage
A.The terrible effect of radiation on persons and things.
B.The good influence of bookish environment on adolescents.
C.The beneficial effect of reading books on adolescents.
D.The bad effect of the environment without books on adolescents.
13.How does the exposure to books improve intellect
A.Books bring a sense of identity and eagerness to read more.
B.Books help to provide a chance to come close to the society.
C.Books are always given to adolescents as valuable presents.
D.Books will offer the teens an urge to make great achievements.
14.What's the author's attitude towards bookish environment
A.Opposed. B.Neutral.
C.Unclear. D.Supportive.
15.What is the passage probably from
A.A travel brochure.
B.A biology textbook.
C.A science magazine.
D.A history discovery.

So, You Want to Be a Writer
What are some tips on becoming a writer
1.Read everything you can. Most writers are good readers. They read because they love to lose themselves in books. They like the sounds of languages and the way that reading a good description can feel as satisfying as winning a race or eating really good food. 16 Do you like stories that are fast-paced and full of unexpected twists Do you prefer to read books with characters who seem like someone you might know Do you like to feel scared or do you like a story that makes you laugh until you cry Think about the types of writing you like best, and try to identify the qualities that attract you.
2. 17 It's easy to forget a good idea if you do not record it immediately. If you get into the habit of carrying a notebook or journal with you everywhere you go, you can write down anything you want to remember. When you are talking to friends in the cafeteria or waiting for the bus, something might give you an idea for a character or a scene in a story. You might have a dream you don't want to forget, or you might just write down the lyrics of a song you love. 18
3.Do your homework. If you decide that you would like to submit your work for publication, make sure you do your research. If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old issues. 19 If you are submitting it to a book publisher, explore their website to make sure your material is similar to (but not exactly the same as) other books they publish.
4.Stay positive. A writer's life can be frustrating. Sometimes it's hard to sit down and write. 20 This is why perseverance is an important quality for a writer to have.
A.Talk to friends.
B.Keep a notebook.
C.As you read, pay attention to what speaks to you.
D.You may get many refusals before you receive a single acceptance.
E.Does it seem like your writing fits in with other stories or articles
F.These everyday thoughts and observations can be material for your writing one day.
G.Writing is a good way to clear your mind and make room for more of the “good stuff”.

The Book of Songs is the 36 (early) collection of Chinese poetry. It consists of 305 poems dating 37 the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle stage of the Spring and Autumn Period. Nowadays, Confucius is generally believed to be the 38 (edit) of the book.
The Book of Songs is rich in content, 39 (reflect) love and labor, war and slavery, custom and marriage, ancestor worship and special events. It is a mirror of social life.
All the poems included in The Book of Songs fall into three sections—poems 40 come from villages belong to Feng; the poems 41 (write) to persuade or praise the rulers belong to Ya; those used at religious ceremonies belong to Song. Ya and Song are flowery and serious in language, 42 Feng is relatively inspiring and full of passion.
The opening poem of The Book of Songs, Cooing and Wooing(《关雎》), is about love, which 43 (read):
By riverside are cooing
A pair of turtledoves;
A good young man is wooing
A fair maiden he loves.
Through these lines, the poet expresses the man's longing for 44 girl and his hope that one day he can win the girl's heart.
As the beginning of ancient Chinese poetry, The Book of Songs enables people to have a better understanding of Chinese civilization. Moreover, it is also 45 (frequent) quoted in other Chinese texts and has always been referred to as moral truths and lessons.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It's funny that you can always tell when somebody's laughing behind your back. Jodie hadn't really heard anything, maybe a whisper, but when she turned around, the girls in the back row of the class were looking at her, trying to hide smiles and laughs. She looked back at her teacher. Mr Swales was talking about what people do all day. He also wanted to find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up.
He called on Billy Miter first. “My daddy works in a bank,” Billy Miter said. “I guess I want to work in a bank too. There's lots of money in the bank.” “My parents have a grocery store,” Emmy Diesel said. “Papa's behind the counter and Mama keeps the cash register. But I want to be an airline pilot.”
Jodie liked it when Mr Swales asked them questions like this. He was about to call on Jodie when the girls in the back row burst out laughing.
Shirley Danes yelled, “Jodie's daddy is a garbage man!”
Everybody in the class laughed out loud. Everybody except Jodie, that is. She felt her face turned bright red. She looked around the whole classroom. Everyone was laughing. Some kids were even holding their noses.
Jodie looked at Mr Swales. He was angry. He almost never raised his voice, but now he did.
“Silence! I want everybody to quiet down this instant.”
The laughter stopped immediately. The sound of cars and people going by out on the street came through the windows.“You should be ashamed of yourselves,” Mr Swales said. “Being a garbage man...I mean, is a difficult and enormously useful job. We should all be grateful to Mr Harris. Where would we be without him Until our cars are in garbage—that's where. How would you like that ”
“It's not funny,” Mr Swales went on. “Garbage is a serious matter. I think you all owe Jodie an apology. And after that, you're all going to write Jodie's father, Mr Harris, a nice letter to tell him how much you appreciate what he does for all of us. In other words, keeping our city clean.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Everyone said “Sorry, Jodie”, but Jodie could tell they didn't really mean it.
Paragraph 2:
Jodie's father came to walk her home from school as usual.
参考答案与解析
第一部分 阅读
第一节
A
语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文,介绍了一次诗歌比赛的相关事宜。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Public Poetry is making this contest FREE. All our activities focus on creating new opportunities for poets and poetry.”(“公共诗歌”让这个比赛免费进行。我们所有的活动都专注于为诗人和诗歌创造新的机会。)可知,“公共诗歌”举办诗歌比赛。故选A项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This time, we need your help to accomplish this. What you give is what we'll give. 100% of the donations will go towards prizes, readers and judges' fees, and anthology publication costs.”(这次,我们需要您的帮助来完成这件事情。您给的就是我们将会给的。捐款将100%用于奖金、读者和评委的费用以及诗选出版费用。)可知,本段是为了鼓励捐赠。故选C项。
3.B 细节理解题。根据GUIDELINES中的最后一条“Failure to follow any contest guidelines may result in your submission disqualification.”(不遵守竞赛规则可能导致您提交的作品被取消资格。)可知,应该选择不符合规则的一项。再根据GUIDELINES中的“Your name and other identified information CANNOT appear anywhere in the submission itself.”(您的姓名和其他显示身份的信息不能出现在提交的作品本身的任何地方。)可知,B项“提交的作品上的作者名字”会导致提交资格被取消。故选B项。A、C、D三项都符合参赛要求,故不会被取消参赛资格。
B
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆起自己初中时上Katz先生的语言艺术课,对诗歌产生了兴趣,在之后的日子里作者阅读名家的诗歌,读诗成了每天的惯例。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mr. Katz is trying to loosen up our adolescent imaginations to the point where we might appreciate figurative language. (Katz先生试图释放我们青少年的想象力,让我们能够欣赏比喻性语言)”以及第三段中“I'd like to think Mr. Katz was conspiring with the poem, sun, spring and kid energy, not just a lesson plan. (我想Katz先生像是在与诗歌、阳光、春天和孩子的活力密谋,而不仅仅是完成一个教学计划)”可知,Katz先生在课堂上想激发学生对诗歌的兴趣。故选A。
5.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another,’Robert Frost explained. (罗伯特·弗罗斯特解释说:‘诗歌提供了一种陈述一件事而表达另一种含义的允许方式。’)”可推知,罗伯特·弗罗斯特认为诗歌有潜在的含义。故选C。
6.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The special poems always lead me back to my memory of a sunny classroom, in junior high school...my drum lesson on Wednesday afternoon paled in comparison.(这些特别的诗总是把我带回我对初中一间阳光明媚的教室的记忆,当时Katz先生小心翼翼地把我们带到了一个新的领域——这一刻让我走出了中学的平庸。相比之下,就连周五的舞蹈和周三下午的打鼓课也黯然失色了)”可知,语言艺术课是无与伦比的。所以B项正确,C项错误。注意原文只是说和语言艺术课相比,舞蹈和打鼓课也黯然失色了,并不是说舞蹈很无聊或打鼓课是小菜一碟,A、D两项表述是错误的。
7.D 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“From then on, I was a new reader and writer. I looked on that poem as a starting line. I heard the call of poetry. (从那时起,我成了一个新的读者和作家。我把那首诗视为起跑线,我听到了诗的召唤)”并结合文章中作者回忆起自己初中时上Katz先生的语言艺术课,对诗歌产生了兴趣,在之后的日子里作者阅读名家诗歌,读诗成了每天的惯例。故“我对诗歌的热爱”最适合作文章标题,故选D。
C
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的经历告诉读者写作是一件孤独、私人且收入微薄的事情,并以此告诫年轻人,想要成为一个成功的作家必须要经历艰辛。
8.A 推理判断题。第一段写很多年轻人告诉作者想当作家,第二、三段讲写作是一种孤独、私人的和报酬低的工作,并用自己的亲身经历说明了该观点。由此可知全文旨在告诫年轻人,一个成功的作家必须要经历艰辛,故选A。
9.D 细节理解题。由第二段第二句“For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.”可知,每个受运气青睐的作家后面都有无数盼望着成功却从未成功的人,即只有少数的人能够成功,故选D。
10.B 推理判断题。由第二段倒数第二句“It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.”可知作者刚开始做自由撰稿人时的条件很艰苦,状况很差。由第三段第二句“It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat.”可知,一年以后作者仍难以维持生计,可见作者的状况比起一年前并没有好转。由此推知作者怀疑自己是因为情况没有改善,故选B。A项“他一本书也写不出来”原文没有提到;C项容易受第三段中的hadn't got a break的影响而错选,注意解答此题要结合下文内容去推断,在整体的语境中可以理解这里的break不是“休息”的意思,而是“(持续一段时间的状况的)改变”;D项“他发现他的梦想永远都不会实现”无从得出。
11.C 词义猜测题。由最后一段倒数第二句“I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.”可知继续考验自己的梦想就意味着忍受不确定和失败的恐惧,因此最后一段中 shadowland指未达到最终目标前的不确定状态,故选C。
D
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究,研究发现:孩子从小生活在有书的环境中,即使不读书,这种环境也对孩子有好的影响。
12.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books, but they don't read books. But somehow books benefit them(辐射效应是孩子们在书的周围长大,但他们不读书,但不知何故,书对他们有利)可知,“radiation effect”指的是有书的环境对青少年有好的影响,故选B。
13.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would(这成为我们身份的一部分,给了我们一种终生的渴望,总想接近书籍,阅读比我们想读的更多的书籍)可知,接触书籍可以提高智力是因为书可以带来身份感和读更多书的渴望,故选A。注意B项中的“接近社会”和D项中的“取得伟大成就的冲动”都是文中没有提到的;而C项只是接触书籍的一种现象,并不是接触书籍是如何提高智力这一问题的回答。
14.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段 So keep shelves piled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, but they'll be more likely to be able to spell “grateful” correctly as well.(所以把书架上堆满书。你的孩子不仅会感恩,而且也更有可能正确拼写“grateful”这个单词)可知,作者对有书的环境的态度是支持的。故选D。
15.C 推理判断题。根据文章的内容尤其是第一段最后一句It appeared in the journal Social Science Research.(它出现在《社会科学研究》杂志上)可知文章介绍了一项研究,研究发现:孩子从小生活在有书的环境中,即使不读书,这种环境也对孩子有好的影响,故这篇文章应该是出自科学杂志,故选C。
第二节
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了要想成为一名作家应该做的事情。
16.C 该空的后面是一连串的问题,且该段最后一句说到思考一下你最喜欢的文章类型,试着找出吸引你的特质,所以C项(当你阅读时,注意一下那些吸引你的东西。)符合语境。
17.B 设空处为标题句,根据其他段落的标题句都是祈使句可知只有选项A和B符合,根据下文If you get into the habit of carrying a notebook or journal...remember.可知本段建议带一个笔记本,故选B。
18.F 根据上文you can write down anything you want to remember(你可以写下任何你想记住的东西)可知这段的建议是随时记下所思及所看,F项(这些日常的想法和观察可能有一天会成为你写作的素材。)总结了为什么要有一个笔记本,故选F。
19.E 根据上文If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old issues. (如果你要把你的文章寄给一家杂志,看看以前的几期。)和下文If you are submitting it to a book publisher, explore their website to make sure your material is similar to (but not exactly the same as) other books they publish.[如果你向图书出版商投稿,探索他们的网站以确保你的素材与他们出版的其他书籍相似(但不完全相同)。]可知,设空句应该介绍投稿时需要注意的事情,E项(你的文章与其他的故事或文章看上去是否相符 )符合语境,故选E。
20.D 设空句后why引导的表语从句是结果,提示前面的设空句为原因,根据下文This is why perseverance is an important quality for a writer to have.可知,This指代空格处的句子,因此推断D项(在你的文章被接受之前,你可能会遭到很多次拒绝。)符合语境,这就是为什么毅力是作家的重要品质。故选D。

37.from 考查介词。句意:它由从西周初期至春秋中期的305首诗组成。date from意为“追溯到……”。故填from。
38.editor 考查名词。句意:现在,人们普遍认为孔子是这本书的编辑。由设空处前后的the和of可知此处应填名词,结合句意可知填editor。

43.reads 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处指诗中写道。分析句子结构可知,设空处充当定语从句的谓语;本句陈述一个事实,需用一般现在时,定语从句的先行词为Cooing and Wooing,所以从句的谓语动词应用单数形式。故填reads。
44.a 考查冠词。句意:通过这些诗句,诗人表达了这个男子对一个女孩的渴望,希望有一天他能赢得女孩的心。由句意可知此处表泛指,表示“一个女孩”,且girl以辅音音素开头,故填不定冠词a。

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Everyone said “Sorry, Jodie”, but Jodie could tell they didn't really mean it. Jodie also knew nobody wanted to write her father a letter. Her face became hot and she felt like crying. Mr Swales came to her desk and patted her on the shoulder,“Let's go out to the hall and have a chat.” Jodie started crying in the hall. “I'm sorry for what happened,” Mr Swales said. “But remember, any work done well is something to be proud of.”
Paragraph 2:
Jodie's father came to walk her home from school as usual. She didn't run up to him the way she always did. When they arrived home, Jodie went to her little room and cried for a good long time before she had her supper. Mr Harris noticed her red eyes and asked, “What happened, Jodie ” Jodie told her father what had happened. He didn't seem angry. He laughed and said, “Although my work seems to be a humble one, my devotion to the job will be everlasting and encouraging.” Hearing what her father said, Jodie felt much relieved.
