The Best Poetry Books
Reading poems can be a lot of fun for kids. With these children's poetry books on the homepage,children will gain a new appreciation of poetry and the spoken word.
Joyful Noise : Poems for Two Voices
The entertaining sounds of insects fill these poems by Paul Fleischman, making it a favorite with 12 - 15-year-olds. These poems were written to be read aloud by two readers.
Paul Fleischman received the 1989 Newbery Medal for Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices. Other recognition included: Boston Globe-Hom Book Award, the PEN Center USA Literary Award and so on.
Eric Beddows' detailed pencil pictures, are vivid and effective complements to the poetry, which brings insects to life when it is read aloud by two voices.
You Read to Me, I'll Read to You : Very Short Mother Goose Tales to Read Together
Poet Mary Ann Hoberman is the author of the picture book, which includes the joyful pictures of Michael Emberley. The book contains very short story poems for two people to read aloud, alternately and together. Each of the 12 stories for 6 - 11-year-olds features rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, as well as humor and attention on the joys of reading.
The book is one of a series of story poems. All the books are designed to be read aloud by two people, as if, says Hoberman, it's " a little play for two voices". The two people can be an adult and a child or two children.
Big Talk : Poems for Four Voices
Poems for four voices are much more challenging to present than poems for two voices, but middle school students tend to enjoy the challenge. The three-story poems in it will appeal to middle schoolers. The author, Paul Fleischman, provides a clear description of how to use the book. The poems are color-coded to make them easier for the four readers to keep track of their parts.

China will have the most 5G connections of any nation by 2025, according to a new study, while Europe will fall behind Korea, the United States and Japan in terms of 5G penetration (渗透) by that year.
5G is the fifth generation of network technology. It is expected to bring unbelievable speeds to Internet users, with some operations running 10 times faster than on 4G networks. 5G is also expected to unlock the potential in a lot of new services, including artificial intelligence, science of robots, self-driving cars, and the Internet.
The GSMA said that China's three major mobile operators—China Unicom, China Mobile, and China Telecom—are already moving ahead with 5G networks. While most nations will have 5G by updating existing foundations, the study notes that China plans to build part of its 5G networks.
One of the major distinguishing factors between Chinese mobile operators and those in the rest of the world is the intention to erect the new and independent 5G networks. That is, China is determined to build completely advanced 5G networks. The high cost underlines China's seriousness about paying whatever it takes.
Korea will lead the world in terms of 5G penetration in 2025, when 66 percent of the nation's total connections will be 5G, according to GSMA. This compares to 50 percent in the US, 49 percent in Japan, 36 percent in China, 30 percent in Europe, and a global average of 18 percent. Out of the five economies leading on 5G, Europe will have the lowest participation in 2025, as the area is moving more slowly in having its 5G networks.

A. A completely new pattern for daily life.
B. Excellent networks and national safety.

B. Koreans cannot own 5G in 2025.
C. Only five countries will have 5G in 2025.
D. Europe will pay little attention to 5G in 2025.

Summer is in full swing, and as the temperature rises our food choices cool down. During the hot days, hot dishes just do not taste as appetising as they normally do. Fortunately, there are many foods that taste just as good, and even better, when eaten cold.

Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang Dynasty such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Quan Tangshi edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of about 48,900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it doesn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.
In the Tang Dynasty scholars(学者) had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems; women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.
Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It's a miracle(奇迹) in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited(继承) Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, and was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn't the only spiritual wealth created by people of the Tang Dynasty. Philosophy, handwriting, painting, music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and the greatest achievement in the Tang Dynasty.

A.In the Tang Dynasty all poets were scholars.
B.In the Tang Dynasty poems were quite popular.
C.Many foreigners came to the east during the Tang Dynasty.
D.In the Tang Dynasty many poems were sung by women singers.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 1945, Reuben Earle, a 12-year-old boy, saw a beautiful brooch(胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price -- five dollars -- was too high for him. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.
Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, Dora was the center of the home, the glue that held everything together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
One day, Reuben opened the shop's door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, "But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time "
" I'll try," the shopkeeper smiled. " People around here usually don't have that kind of money to spend on such things. It should be kept for a while."
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away on the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a soda tin.
Paragraph 1:
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. _____________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally, the time came!_________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案：Paragraph 1:
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully. To save more money, he even decided to deliver papers in the early mornings. Exhausted as he felt, he still stuck at the plan. It was the brooch in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile.
Paragraph 2:
Finally, the time came ! He took out the soda tin, poured the coins out and began to count. Five dollars! His hard work paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Reuben rushed to the shop to buy the brooch. The moment he got the beautiful brooch, he ran back home and placed it in Dora's hand. Never had Dora received such a valuable gift. Speechless and happy, she hugged her son tightly into her arms, with her eyes filling with tears.

China will have the most 5G connections of any nation by 2025, according to a new study, while Europe will fall behind Korea, the United States and Japan in terms of 5G penetration (渗透) by that year.
5G is the fifth generation of network technology. It is expected to bring unbelievable speeds to Internet users, with some operations running 10 times faster than on 4G networks. 5G is also expected to unlock the potential in a lot of new services, including artificial intelligence, science of robots, self-driving cars, and the Internet.
The GSMA said that China's three major mobile operators—China Unicom, China Mobile, and China Telecom—are already moving ahead with 5G networks. While most nations will have 5G by updating existing foundations, the study notes that China plans to build part of its 5G networks.
One of the major distinguishing factors between Chinese mobile operators and those in the rest of the world is the intention to erect the new and independent 5G networks. That is, China is determined to build completely advanced 5G networks. The high cost underlines China's seriousness about paying whatever it takes.
Korea will lead the world in terms of 5G penetration in 2025, when 66 percent of the nation's total connections will be 5G, according to GSMA. This compares to 50 percent in the US, 49 percent in Japan, 36 percent in China, 30 percent in Europe, and a global average of 18 percent. Out of the five economies leading on 5G, Europe will have the lowest participation in 2025, as the area is moving more slowly in having its 5G networks.

A. A completely new pattern for daily life.
B. Excellent networks and national safety.
C. Amazing speeds for public transportation.
D. Realizing the potential of many new services.

C. Only five countries will have 5G in 2025.
D. Europe will pay little attention to 5G in 2025.

Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang Dynasty such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Quan Tangshi edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of about 48,900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it doesn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.
In the Tang Dynasty scholars(学者) had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems; women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.
Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It's a miracle(奇迹) in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited(继承) Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, and was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn't the only spiritual wealth created by people of the Tang Dynasty. Philosophy, handwriting, painting, music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and the greatest achievement in the Tang Dynasty.

C.Many foreigners came to the east during the Tang Dynasty.
D.In the Tang Dynasty many poems were sung by women singers.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 1945, Reuben Earle, a 12-year-old boy, saw a beautiful brooch(胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price -- five dollars -- was too high for him. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.
Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, Dora was the center of the home, the glue that held everything together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
One day, Reuben opened the shop's door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, "But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time "
" I'll try," the shopkeeper smiled. " People around here usually don't have that kind of money to spend on such things. It should be kept for a while."
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away on the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a soda tin.
Paragraph 1:
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. _____________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案：Paragraph 1:
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully. To save more money, he even decided to deliver papers in the early mornings. Exhausted as he felt, he still stuck at the plan. It was the brooch in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile.
Paragraph 2:
Finally, the time came ! He took out the soda tin, poured the coins out and began to count. Five dollars! His hard work paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Reuben rushed to the shop to buy the brooch. The moment he got the beautiful brooch, he ran back home and placed it in Dora's hand. Never had Dora received such a valuable gift. Speechless and happy, she hugged her son tightly into her arms, with her eyes filling with tears.
