Ⅲ．阅读理解
A
No poem should ever be discussed or analyzed，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.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 can not replace the student and the teacher reading it.
I have come to think，in fact，that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analyzing 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（提升）of life.It is an approach to the truth of feeling，and it can save your life.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on 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.
36．To have a better understanding of a poem，one should ______.
A．discuss it with others
B．analyze it by oneself
C．copy it down in a notebook
D．practice reading it aloud
37．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a fun_ction of poetry?
A．Extending your life. B．Saving your life.
C．Criticizing life. D．Heightening life.
38．According to the writer，one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ______.
A．to understand life B．to enjoy poetry
C．to become teachers D．to become poets
39．What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?
A．More stress was laid on the understanding of poetry in the past.
B．Poetry is more important than any other subject.
C．One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
D．Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.
40．The best title of the passage may be “______”．
A．Reading Poems loud
B．Analyze Poems
C．Enjoy Poems
D．Learn English
B
“Merry Christmas”may not be the first greeting in the world，Neil Papworth admits today，but as he was about to send the world's first text message to a cell phone，it attracted him certainly more than“Mr Watson，come here，”the first words spoken over the telephone.Richard Jarvis，the man at the receiving end，was at a Christmas party in Newbury，England.Since cell phones were not yet designed to type out and send a single letter，Papworth，the 22yearold engineer sent his historic greeting to Jarvis's phone from a computer keyboard.
It took another couple of years before cell phones were made to send text easily and then just a short while before teenagers discovered them.
Today，billions of text messages fly through the airwaves（电波）every day，and they are a base of profit for the world's telecommunication companies.Some relationships even live and die on the strength of the phone messages.Though text messages are still used to give holiday greetings—New Year is the busiest texting day of the year—they are also used to vote for politicians and celebrities（政治家和名人），play games，warn groups of people of weather and advertise products.And they will likely be used in everincreasing areas.
In December 1992，just sending“Merry Christmas”to a cell phone was difficult.For its time，when cell phones themselves were still new to common people，the text message“was quite a success”．
Brennan Hayden，who was an engineer in the 1990s for an Irish wireless company，Aldiscon，which invested in text messaging，said few people believed at the time that it would become successful as a communication medium of its own.“They said people would never use it；they wouldn't be bothered to type messages on a phone，”said Hayden.“I always believed in it，”he said.“I believed it could actually be a force（力量）to change the world.”
41．What is the first text message to a cell phone in the world?
A．Merry Christmas.
B．Happy New Year.
C．I always believed in it.
D．Mr Watson，come here.
42．What does the author mean by speaking“Some relationships even live and die on the strength of the phone messages”？
A．Phone messages lead to people's living and death.
B．More and more people depend less on phone messages.
C．Sending phone messages often is bad for people's health.
D．Phone messages are playing an important role in people's lives.
43．Some people doubted the future of text messages because______.
A．cell phones were not designed to type out and send a single letter
B．sending text messages to a cell phone at that time was very difficult
C．they didn't believe people would trouble themselves to type messages
D．it would take many years before cell phones were made to send text messages easily
44．From the passage，we can infer that______.
A．no one in the 1990s could imagine the business of airwaves today
B．text messages are used in more fields besides greeting
C．“Merry Christmas”appeared earlier than“Mr Watson，come here”
D．more people will send text messages from a computer keyboard
45．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Brennan Hayden was a great engineer and had a long head.
B．The first text message to a cell phone was sent in December 1992.
C．In the 1990s communication experts held different views toward text messages.
D．The first text message was sent by Richard Jarvis from a computer keyboard.
Ⅳ．七选五阅读
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Family traditions are things that families do together on a regular basis.__46__ They can be repeated daily，weekly，monthly or once a year.It is important for families to observe their traditions even as their children get older.Here are reasons to observe family traditions：
Family traditions create good feelings and special moments to remember.They are fun things to do.__47__ These are the memories that will last a lifetime.
__48__ Being a part of a family is more than living in the same home or having the same last name.It is about relationships and family bonds.Since family traditions are something you do together，they strengthen the bonds you have between each other creating a stronger sense of belonging to the family.
Family traditions help teens a lot when they are trying to figure out who they are，which job teenagers often do.A family encourages a teen to be a part of it and its traditions provide a strong foundation for teens to stand on.__49__
__50__ Every day teens face some very difficult issues.Knowing that they are secure and have a family to turn to is a powerful tool to use against negative peer pressure，drug use influences，etc.

Uncle Lee is my neighbor.He can see things well because of his bad eyesight，so he doesn't go out very often.Last Friday he had an important letter to post to，so he had to go out himself.He was walking in the street while suddenly the strong wind came up and blew his black hat off his head.The hats rolled and flew，and Uncle Lee had to running after it.Just then a woman in front of him shout at him，“What are you doing？”“Trying to catch my hat，”asked Uncle Lee.“What？Your hat？”cried out the woman angry.“Can't you see that that is our black pet dog？”

参考答案
Ⅰ.
1. 答案：C　解析：考查交际用语。句意：——我累了。下周我要请假。——好主意，宝贝儿。你的确需要休息。not so sure 意为“不那么确定”；forget it 意为“忘记它吧”；great idea 意为“好主意”；no way 意为“没门儿”，表示不赞同。由“你的确需要休息”可知，第二个人赞同第一个人的提议。故选C项。
2. C．normal D．particular
答案：B　解析：general “一般的”；frequent “经常的”；normal “正常的”；particular “特别的”。理解词义后，根据生活常识可知“醉驾过去是一种常见的行为，现在却得到了控制”。
3. 答案：D　解析：考查虚拟语气。由句子中的“我们在那个小村庄里迷了路”与otherwise可想到本题考查对过去事情的虚拟语气；otherwise等于if we hadn't lost our way in that small village，因此其主句应用“would have done”的形式，故答案为D项。
4. 答案：D　解析：考查交际用语。从第一句可以看出因为迟到而向对方道歉，因此选用never mind“没关系，别介意”，符合语境。you are welcome“不客气”；that's right“是的，没错”；I have no idea“我不知道”。
5. 答案：D　解析：句意：说实话，报酬不够吸引人，尽管工作本身很有趣。generally speaking “一般来说”；on the contrary “相反”；in particular “特别”；to be honest “说实话”。
6. 答案：D　解析：句意：我不能让父母放弃他们的一切来供我在美国读书。in addition to “除了”；in search of “寻找”；in place of “代替”；in exchange for “作为对……的交换”。
7. 答案：B　解析：句意：成功和财富改变了他的性格。convey “传达，运载”；transform “改变”；exchange “交换”；control “控制”。
8. 答案：C　解析： run out和give out的含义都是“用完，耗尽”，但是其主语应该是物；use up和run out of sth．的主语为人；A项时态不对。根据句意可知所表达的含义是“快要用完食物和饮料”，因此用现在进行时表示将来。
9. 答案：A　解析：句意：要是我上中学的时候多花点时间学英语就好了。if only后面的句子用虚拟语气，如果表示与过去事实相反，句中的时态应为had done。
10. 答案：C　解析：本句中suggest的含义为：说明，表明。其后的从句不用虚拟语气，而用正常的时态。句意：很多证据表明下午短暂的休息会让你在随后的四五个小时内保持精力充沛。leave ＋宾语＋adj．；而help的用法为help sb．do。
11. 答案：B　解析：考查交际用语。句意：——谢谢你的书。我觉得它太有趣了。——不用谢。很高兴你能喜欢。All the best．“一切顺利。”是祝福用语。It is nothing．“没什么；不足挂齿。”可以用于回答对方的感谢。No，thanks．“不（需要），谢谢！”是一种委婉的拒绝。Very well．“很好。”表示一种称赞。根据语境选择B项。
12. 答案：C　解析：put out“出版，扑灭”；experiment常与介词on和with连用；try out“测试，试验”；take out“取出，去掉”。句意：在将这种新的测试体系进行全国普及之前，必须先在专门的地区试验一下。
13. 答案：B　解析：let out“发出”，符合句意“看到世界著名的钢琴家站在自己面前，那个女孩发出惊喜的叫声”。leave out“省去，遗漏”；come out“出现，出版”；speak out“大声讲，畅所欲言”。
14. 答案：C　解析：考查代词辨析。句意：你是一名团队之星，与别人合作正是你的拿手好戏。both“二者都”；either“二者之一”；the other“（两个中的）另一个”，均不符合语境。others“其他人，别人”。
15. 答案：C　解析：根据主句谓语的形式可判断，题干是表示与过去事实相反的虚拟，if引导的条件句要用过去完成时，且if可省略，此时其中的助动词had提前。

Ⅱ.
16. 答案：C　解析：上文说，对“我”来说，生活不只是拥有朋友、财富或自己喜欢的工作。这里承接上文说，而有些人拥有这些就很满足了。disappointed“失望的”；excited“兴奋的”；satisfied“满意的”；worried“担心的”。故选C项。
17. 答案：A　解析：这里说，因为对于他们来说，这些就是他们目前所能得到的最好的东西，故选for。与前面的for me相对应。
18. 答案：B　解析：这句话的意思是：这些却不是我能从世界上得到的全部。故选get。like“喜欢”，search“寻找”，have“有”，均不符合文意。
19. 答案：D　解析：这句话中harps和violins都是乐器，属于美好的东西；这里要填的thunder“雷声”和lightning“闪电”相对应，指生活中的挑战。
20. 答案：B　解析：这句话的意思是：“我”相信真爱，但“我”不会只是尽力让别人舒服。后文说“我”相信彼此相爱而不只是“我”爱他。sad“伤心的”；comfortable“舒服的”；unsatisfied“不满意的”；unpleasant“讨厌的，不合意的”。故选B项。
21. 答案：C　解析：be in love“爱，相爱”；fall in love“爱上，坠入爱河”。这里应指彼此相爱，故选C项。
22. 答案：A　解析：前面说生活中有很多值得做的事情，这里指生活并不只是花费无数时间在体操馆里锻炼身体并且吃胡萝卜减肥来让自己漂亮。endless“无休止的，无止境的”；several“几个的”；valuable“有价值的”；regular“有规律的，定期的”。endless表达了一种“没完没了”的意思。
23. 答案：A　解析：seek“寻求，追求”；receive“收到，接受”；admire“羡慕，钦佩”；keep“保持”。这里指寻求别人的表扬。也就是说，自己锻炼身体和吃胡萝卜减肥都是为了寻求别人的赞美。故选A项。
24. 答案：B　解析：根据上题分析可知应选others。后一句“The praise of others... ”也是提示。partners“伙伴，配偶”。
25. 答案：A　解析：这句话的意思是：别人的表扬确实能让“我”高兴。
26. 答案：D　解析：全文都在讨论生活的意义。这里的意思是：这不是“我”生活的主要意义。故选meaning“意思，意义”。
27. 答案：B　解析：这里承接上文说，“我”不是为了实现别人的梦想而活着，“我”会追求“我”自己的梦想。wish“愿望”；dream“梦想”；burden“负担”；purpose“目的，目标”。故选B项。
28. 答案：C　解析：前面作者发表了自己的观点，生活不是为了别人而是为了自己。所以这里说，生活不仅仅是遵守社会规范。故选merely“仅仅，只是”。entirely“完全地，完整地”；naturally“自然地”；particularly“特别，尤其”，均不符合文意。
29. 答案：A　解析：这里指的是社会的规范，故选society。
30. 答案：B　解析：生活不仅仅是遵守社会规范而是按照“我”自己的标准去做个好人。选standard和前面的norms对应。
31. 答案：D　解析：这里是说，生活不是疯狂地追求梦想以超越别人。normally“正常地”；specially“专门地”；really “真正地”；wildly“狂热地”。故选D项。
32. 答案：B　解析：句意：它更多的是在“我”冥想中的绿色公园里的徜徉漫步。故选existing。build“建设”；appear “出现”；set“以……为背景”，均不符合文意。
33. 答案：A　解析：the breeze in my face“微风吹在我脸上”。其他三个选项都不能与in my face连用。
34. 答案：C　解析：这里说，当“我”骑着自行车在乡村穿过的时候，享受着微风拂在脸上的感觉。作者想表达一种美好的感觉，一种自然舒适的生活。
35. 答案：D　解析：生活中充满了激情、自由和爱。生活的道路“我”只能走一次，“我”要充分享受它。故选once“一次”。

37. 答案：A　解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段的最后两句“Poetry is a criticism of life，and a heightening（提升） of life．It is an approach to the truth of feeling，and it can save your life．”可以排除其他三项。
38. 答案：B　解析：细节理解题。由第二段中的“I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry．”可以推知答案。

Ⅵ．
答案：
Recently，students in our school have seen English poetry appreciation included in the English class．However，the move has drawn heated debate among the students．
Most of the students don't agree to have such classes just because students are too busy studying．They all think it's a waste of time because English poetry has little to do with the college entrance examination．What's more，the popularity of poetry has been in decline as many young people show no interest in it．
But those who are for the project say we can learn standard English and improve our written English in the long run．Also，poetry，known as the soul of the language，plays an important role in expressing feelings．Besides，we can also know more about the background knowledge of English．
As far as I am concerned，I'd like to suggest having one period per month instead of two．
