The Poetry Foundation recently named American poet Jack Prelutsky as the nation's first children's poet laureate (桂冠诗人)．The group created the award as a way to increase Americans' love of poetry from an early age.
As children's poet laureate, Jack Prelutsky will give two public readings in the next two years. He will also advise the Poetry Foundation about children's literature and take part in projects concerning children and poetry.
Jack Prelutsky has been writing poetry for children for almost forty years. He has written more than thirty five books of poems. His first book was called A Gopher in the Garden.It was published in 1967. His latest is called Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant and Other Poems.

I was real sad when I found my bicycle went wrong again. Tired of repairing it again and again, I decided buy a new one. After school, I went to a shop locating in the center of the city with a friend called Jack. The black bicycle attracted my eyes as soon as we went into the store. It looked so cool that I could hardly wait to ride it. The shopkeepers told us that it was the latest bicycle.

语篇解读本文是对护理事业的创始人、现代护理教育的奠基人弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔的介绍。
1．how 考查疑问词。根据语境，此处指以前的护士从未被教过要如何照顾病人，故用how。
2．to visit 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为不定式短语在句中作目的状语。
3．a 考查冠词。根据语境可知，此处表泛指，指“成为一名护士”，故应用不定冠词 a。
4．was asked 考查时态和语态。此处说的是发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时；又根据空后的“by the government”可知，Florence与ask之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。
5．wounded 考查词性转换。“the＋adj.”是固定用法，表示一类人，故填 wounded。
6．cleaned 考查时态。分析句子结构可知，此处与worked和made 并列作句子的谓语，故也应用一般过去时。
7．checking 考查非谓语动词。check与其逻辑主语she 之间是主动关系，故应用现在分词短语作伴随状语。
8．for 考查介词。根据语境可知，此处指的应是“她给他们提供慰藉”，provide sth. for sb.＝provide sb. with sth.。
9．properly 考查词性转换。空处修饰 look after, 应用副词形式。
10．recovery 考查词性转换。根据语境及空前的“a full”可知此处应用名词形式。
