Elizabeth Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century.She was born in Worcester,Massachusetts in 1911.Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss;she went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia,Canada when she was five.Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College,where she began to write poetry.
At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore’s poetry and met “Ms.Moore” and began their life-long friendship.She later met poet Robert Lowell.She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them,which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life.Bishop’s poetry is sometimes considered objective and cold because it shows almost nothing about the poet or her life.
Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979.She would spend years working on a single poem.Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast.Over a lifetime of writing,she only published about 275 pages of poetry,and about 40 of those are translations.She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.
Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place,the very moment she’s writing about.She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene.It seems she’s always asking us to notice more,and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it’s almost painful—like a light that’s too bright.It might take your eyes a while to get used to it,but once they do,you’ll like what you see.
4.What do we know about Bishop’s early life
A.She started to write poems at five.
B.She was always encouraged by her parents.
C.She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.
D.She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.

7.Which can be used to describe the style of Bishop’s poems

Gene Wolfe is one of the most admired and respected American science fiction and fantasy writers.He is also a productive writer of outstanding short fiction,which is collected in many volumes over the last forty years,most recently in The Best of Gene Wolfe.
Although Wolfe is not as well-known to readers as he once was,he has been the receiver of great praise,including three World Fantasy Awards,two Nebulas,and eight Hugo Award nominations (提名).Sci-fi author Harlan Ellison has called him,“no less than one of the finest,most original writers in the world today”,and the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction names him “quite possibly the most important” writer in the field of science fiction.
Born in 1931,New York,Gene Wolfe moved frequently as a child,but spent most of his growing-up years in Texas.Wolfe began writing fiction in 1956,selling his first story,The Dead Man,to Sir magazine in 1965.He produced a vast amount of short fiction during the 1960s and 1970s,many of which were published in Damon Knight’ s Orbit anthologies.In 1972 Wolfe’ s groundbreaking The Fifth Head of Cerberus appeared.The story of human conquest (征服) upon two distant planets,the book examines issues of identity,individuality,and the results of colonialism (殖民主义) upon both the colonised and the colonizer.The novel was later listed in David Pringle’ s 1985 list of The 100 Best Novels in science fiction for the period 1949-1984.
Many of his novels,The Shadow of the Torturer included,rely on a diary or letter to tell his story.In addition,Wolfe’ s early interest in mystery novels shines through in his ability to drop cleverly hidden clues that allow the readers to grasp at the possible narrative behind the narrative.
By 1984 Wolfe was able to retire and devote himself full-time to his writing.Yet despite (尽管) all this,and despite the continuing respect of his colleagues,his work has become somewhat unfamiliar.Wolfe’ s admirers hope this fact will be at least somewhat improved by his most recent offering,The Wizard Knight,which falls within the fantasy type that is currently popular.

As soon as Li saw Amanda reaching over,her eyes widened.Li quickly got down from her seat and raced to her room.
“See ” Amanda said to Mom.“I thought being a big sister would be fun.”
Over a year ago,Amanda’s parents said that they were adopting (收养) a daughter from China,and Amanda had danced with excitement.She’d dreamed of taking her sister to the park,reading books to her,and teaching her to ride a bicycle.That hadn’t happened.
“She runs away whenever I get close,” Amanda said.
Mom took Amanda’s hand.“Think of how frightening it is for her.She’s in a new country with a new family.”
“I just wish I knew how to help her,” Amanda said,thinking of Li’s frightened eyes.
Amanda went into the family room and sat down on the sofa.How could she help Li She’d sung songs to her,drawn pictures for her,and made funny faces.None of that had worked.

1.B 细节理解题。根据Nineteen Eighty-Four部分中的“Winston,a government worker,meets Julia,another worker,and they fall in love—a crime in Oceania.”可知,《1984》这本书描述了Winston和Julia之间的爱情故事。
2.C 细节理解题。根据Brave New World部分中的“They enjoy sports and spare time,but they are not free.”可知,《美丽新世界》中人们生活在一个没有自由的社会里。
3.D 推理判断题。四本书设定的时间都在未来,且所讲述的内容都是幻想出来的一个不理想的社会,故应选D项。

9.which 考查定语从句的关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个主句且在从句中作主语,故填which。
10.are killed 考查动词的语态和时态。sharks与kill之间是被动关系,且由each year可知,此处应用一般现在时,故填are killed。

You are welcome to come to China and experience the Dragon Boat Festival!Thank you!
Ⅵ.“Ni hao,”Amanda said,hoping she had pronounced it right.Li didn’t answer,but she didn’t shout,either.Amanda crossed the room to Li’s pink CD player.“Do you like music ” Li didn’t answer,just looking at Amanda.Amanda put the CD into the player.Voices of children filled the room.“Yi,er,san,” sang the voices on the tape.“In English,that means one,two,three,” Amanda said.She didn’t look at Li,afraid that Li would start crying and run away.
When she didn’t hear any sobs,Amanda looked over at the bed and saw Li smiling.“Yi,er,san!” sang Li,clapping her hands.A few songs later,Amanda’s mom came to the door.Amanda and Li were side by side.“I found the CDs Aunt Linda gave me last year to help me learn some Chinese,” Amanda explained.“I thought that Li might know these songs.” “What a great idea,” Mom said.“Jie jie,” Li said,pointing at Amanda.Amanda felt a rush of excitement.“That means big sister.” She smiled at Li.“And you’re my mei mei.”

Amanda felt as gray as the sky outside when she looked across the table at her little sister.Li sat on her seat,drinking from her cup.
“Mom,why does Li hate me ”
“Honey,she doesn’t hate you.Li is still getting used to you,” Mom said.“It’s only been two weeks.”
“But look,” Amanda took a cookie off her dish and held it out to Li.“Want to eat it ”
As soon as Li saw Amanda reaching over,her eyes widened.Li quickly got down from her seat and raced to her room.
“See ” Amanda said to Mom.“I thought being a big sister would be fun.”
Over a year ago,Amanda’s parents said that they were adopting (收养) a daughter from China,and Amanda had danced with excitement.She’d dreamed of taking her sister to the park,reading books to her,and teaching her to ride a bicycle.That hadn’t happened.
“She runs away whenever I get close,” Amanda said.
Mom took Amanda’s hand.“Think of how frightening it is for her.She’s in a new country with a new family.”
“I just wish I knew how to help her,” Amanda said,thinking of Li’s frightened eyes.
Amanda went into the family room and sat down on the sofa.How could she help Li She’d sung songs to her,drawn pictures for her,and made funny faces.None of that had worked.
Amanda turned on the TV.She stopped to watch a film about a dog and a cat.The film was in another language.The show looked funny,but she didn’t understand any of it.It made Amanda remember when they were in China.She had gotten frustrated (沮丧的) when people talked in Chinese.
That’s it.Amanda turned off the TV and sped to her room.She found the CDs Aunt Linda gave her last year to help her learn some Chinese.
Amanda tiptoed (踮着脚走) to Li’s room.Looking in,Amanda saw Li curled up (蜷缩) in a ball on her bed.She could hear Li sobbing (啜泣).Amanda knocked on the open door.
Li moved to the back of her bed.

When she didn’t hear any sobs,Amanda looked over at the bed and saw Li smiling

Ⅵ.“Ni hao,”Amanda said,hoping she had pronounced it right.Li didn’t answer,but she didn’t shout,either.Amanda crossed the room to Li’s pink CD player.“Do you like music ” Li didn’t answer,just looking at Amanda.Amanda put the CD into the player.Voices of children filled the room.“Yi,er,san,” sang the voices on the tape.“In English,that means one,two,three,” Amanda said.She didn’t look at Li,afraid that Li would start crying and run away.
When she didn’t hear any sobs,Amanda looked over at the bed and saw Li smiling.“Yi,er,san!” sang Li,clapping her hands.A few songs later,Amanda’s mom came to the door.Amanda and Li were side by side.“I found the CDs Aunt Linda gave me last year to help me learn some Chinese,” Amanda explained.“I thought that Li might know these songs.” “What a great idea,” Mom said.“Jie jie,” Li said,pointing at Amanda.Amanda felt a rush of excitement.“That means big sister.” She smiled at Li.“And you’re my mei mei.”
