No poem should ever be discussed or “analysed”, 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 of it.
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 films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analysing” 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 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 communicate this to 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.analyse it by oneself
B.discuss it with others
C.practise reading it aloud
D.copy it down in a notebook
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry
A.Extending your life.
B.Saving your life.
C.Criticising life.
D.Heightening life.
3.The last sentence in the third paragraph implies .
A.the teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject
B.more importance should be attached to the teaching of poetry
C.poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses
D.one cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry
4.The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by “ ”.
A.provide equipment
B.build a school
C.set up a house
D.leave a certain amount of time
七选五。
What makes you cry？Being moved by a sad movie，waving a loved one off，or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces.1.______
When you think about it，shedding tears from your eyes can cause embarrassment or confusion.But it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset. 2.______ However，the feeling is the same – your cheeks puff up，your eyes tighten and before you know it，tears are streaming down your face.Some of us may weep a little while others might cry like a baby.
A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted they cry 72 times a year.This was，on average，more than men.Adam Rutherford，lead researcher，says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous research. 3.______ Are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings？The debate continues.
One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace.4.______ Someone might be stressed with a heavy workload.And，as therapist Joanna Cross put it， "crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations and it's a bit of a final straw moment." She describes how someone might start weeping when they're just asked to make a cup of tea.Actually，their stress has accumulated to the breaking point.
But crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever.It can actually make you feel better.5.______ Crying your eyes out shows others how you feel，so perhaps it's a crying shame that more of us，particularly men，don't cry more often.
A.Then how do we cope with it？
B.This can be where emotions run high.
C.People reach their breaking point in different ways.
D.We all have the power to cry，but is that a good thing？
E.Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative feelings you've had.
F.What brings about this reaction differs from person to person.
G.But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women

10.【答案】are damaged
【解析】考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，damage和主语the beaches之间是被动关系，根据该句中的“need”可知，此处叙述一般的情况，故用一般现在时的被动语态。

F.What brings about this reaction differs from person to person.
G.But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women
1.【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。上文提到"Being moved by a sad movie，waving a loved one off，or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our face"（被电影感动，和爱人分离，与搭档分道扬镳都会导致眼泪流下脸庞），本空承上启下，引出文章主题，所以根据下文内容，"crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever. "（在办公室或其他地方哭可能是一种有效的减压方式），可知本文主要讲哭是所有人的反应，并且哭对人们有好处，所以本空目的在于引出此话题：D.We all have the power to cry，but is that a good thing？我们都有哭的能力，但是这是件好事吗？故选D。
2.【答案】F
【解析】推理判断题。根据上句" it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset"（哭是我们伤心难过时的自动反应），所以本空承接上句，F项句意"导致这种反应的原因因人而异"，符合语境。故选F。
3.【答案】G
【解析】推理判断题。根据上句"women admitted they cry 72 times a year.This was，on average，more than men.Adam Rutherford，lead researcher，says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous research."（女性承认，她们一年哭72次，这平均来说比男人要多。调查者说这个结果和以前的研究结果是一致的），本空承上启下，下句"Are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings？"（他们对于表达自己真实的情感会更尴尬吗），所以本空应该是G项"但这是否意味着男性不会像女性那样心烦意乱或情绪化"。故选G。
4.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。上句提到"One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace"（我们经历情绪爆发的地点之一是在工作地），本空承接上文，应该接着讲工作地对人们情绪的影响，所以B项句意"这可能是情绪高涨的地方。"符合语境。故B项符合语境。故选B。
5.【答案】E
【解析】推理判断题。根据上句" It can actually make you feel better."（哭会让你感觉更好），本空承上启下，应该接着讲哭对于人们的好处，所以E项句意"也许它能化解或清除你的负面情绪。"符合语境。故选E。
