[山东济南历城二中2021高二月考]Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School,but poetry is still a big part of his life,now with a new teacher,Rafael Campo,who believes poetry can benefit every doctor's education and work. Rafael is a physician,professor and a highly respected poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter(邂逅)with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry. And if we do anything when we're with our patients,we're really immersing(使沉浸于)ourselves in their stories,really hearing their voices. And,certainly,that's what a poem does,"he said.
Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today:humanity,which he finds in poetry. To end that,he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents(住院医生).
He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients,and poems can help close that gap.
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said,“I think there's no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because there's just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest." Not everyone believes that's what doctors should do, though.
Rafael said, "I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it's happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn't survived the cancer. Don't we still have a role as healers there "
In a poem titled "Health", Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of medicine.
1. What do we know about Rafael Campo
A. He works as a doctor.

C. He is a literature professor.
D. He knows little about poetry.
2. What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2
A. The importance of medical training.
B. The effect of poetry in medical treatment.
C. The similarity involved in poetry and medical work.
D. The present relationship between patients and doctors.
3. What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry
A. It comforts patients' family.
B. It contributes to medical work.
C. It has nothing to do with doctors.
D. It keeps doctors away from patients.
4. What is Rafael Campo's view on poetry
A. It requires a lot of spare time.
B. It can provide a useful tool for doctors.
C. It has little effect on patients' conditions.
D. It should be included in emergency treatments.

[河北泊头一中2021高二月考]In China,poetry is an important part of the curriculum and,with recent changes announced by the Ministry of Education,the number of poems students will have to memorise and recite is being increased from fourteen to seventy-two.
Now,before you gasp in horror,let's think about the reasons why studying so many poems,especially ancient poems,is important. First of all,poetry is an essential part of traditional Chinese culture. 1 It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and emotions that are common to everyone but which we may be unable to express-the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon,for example. Everyone has feelings of joy,love,loneliness,sadness and even anger. 2
3 In a few short lines,even something commonplace can become beautiful. Here is a poem called “Fog” by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes/on silent haunches(弓腰蹲着)/and then moves on. Yes,fog does move smoothly,silently and mysteriously like a cat,and Sandberg captures that feeling and image,and makes it beautiful.
4 After all, a poem is really just a song without music. Most ancient poetry, especially Western poetry, was actually spoken before it was written. Take Homer's Iliad for example. The story was apparently told for hundreds of years in palaces and on street corners before Homer wrote it down. The American poet Robert Frost said, "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." And poems are very concise-there is not a wasted word. 5
A. Poetry is difficult to recite.
B. Poems can also express beauty.
C. Few people read it for pleasure.
D. Of course, to really appreciate poetry, it has to be read aloud.
E. You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!
F. It is a pathway to understanding your history and your society.
G.A good poem can put those emotions into words and bring us self-understanding.
