Teaching Poetry
No poem should ever be discussed or "analyzed", until it has been read aloud by someone. What is better 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 the tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet reading 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 "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 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.analyze it by himself or herself B.discuss it with others
C.practise reading it aloud D.copy it into a notebook
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry
A.Extending life. B.Saving life.
C.Criticizing life. D.Heightening life.
3.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply
A.The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject.
B.More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry.
C.Poetry is the foundation of all languages 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
三、
Poetry is the artistic expression of the human thoughts and feelings in rhythmic and emotional language. ①_____. As its language is rhythmic, its sound is highly musical. We may say, "②_____", whether the rhythm of poetry is traditional as in metrical(格律的) style or "natural" as in free verse.
So the poet must write carefully and reflectively in order to find words that not only fulfill the demands of the meter and rhyme, but also express the meaning in a manner that complements the imagery and tone of the rest of the poem. ③_____.
④_____. The poet is an artisan who creates a fieldstone hearth(散石壁炉炉床)—each stone or each word is turned over, examined, and often laid aside until it can be placed where its shape, weight, and color will contribute to the strength and beauty of the whole. Prose, according to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is "words in their best order", and poetry is "the best words in their best order".
⑤_____, which comes from many metrical patterns represented in conventional iambic(抑扬格的) feet or from repetitions(重复) and parallel phrasing shown in free verse and from other elements of poetry.
A. No rhythm, no poetry
B. There is no limit on the use of rhythm
C. The reader's chief delight in reading poetry comes from his response to its musical effect
D. This careful use of language is the most significant difference between ordinary prose and poetry
E. Compared with prose(散文), it lays more stress on rhythm, imagery, emotion, and imagination
F. Many poets use these ways to impress their emotions and show the importance of rhythm in poetry
G. The ordinary prose writer neatly builds an argument using words the way a mason builds a house using bricks

二、
答案：1-4 CABD
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第一段第一句"No poem should ever be discussed or 'analyzed', until it has been read aloud by someone."可知, 为了更好地了解一首诗, 你应该大声地读它。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段第三、四句"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'."可知, 只有选项A没有提到。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句"It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies."可知, 诗歌还应该在语言和文学教学中占有比目前更重要的地位。由此可推知, 此处作者呼吁要更加重视诗歌的教学。
4.词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句"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."及画线部分后面的"in the classroom"可知, 画线部分的意思是"留出一定的时间"。
三、
答案：①-⑤ EADGC
解析：①该空所在的段落主要介绍了诗歌的特点，因此E项（与散文相比较，它更强调节奏、意象、情感和想象力）符合段落所表达的主题。故选E项。
②该段重点突出rhythm(韵律）在诗歌中的作用，无论是在传统诗歌还是在自由体诗中，“没有韵律,就没有诗歌”。因此A项符合上下文的语境，故选A项。
③该段主要介绍了诗人选词的方式。由本段的开头So the poet must write carefully可知，诗人必须仔细地写，因此D项符合上下文的语境，该选项中的careful也是一个很好的提示词。故选D项。
④该段通过诗歌与散文的对比，表现出诗歌的语言特色。根据该段的内容和常识可以判断，该空应该是关于散文的，并结合后面的stone及选项可以判断， G项符合语境。故选G项。
⑤由后面非限制性定语从句的内容可以判断，诗歌的格律能产生音乐效果，因此C项（读者读诗的主要乐趣来自他对诗歌音乐效果的反应）符合语境。故选C项。
