The Antarctic's snow-white environment is going green and facing other unexpected threats.
Scientists say that as temperatures go up in the polar areas，invading (侵袭) plants and insects, including the flies, cause a major threat.
More and more of these invaders, in the form of larvae (幼虫) or seeds, are surviving in coastal areas around the South Pole, where the temperature has risen by almost 3℃ over the past five decades.Glaciers have melted, exposing more land which has been occupied by mosses that have been found to be growing more quickly and thickly than ever before — providing potential green homes for invaders.
“The common houseflies are a perfect example of the problem the Antarctic now faces from invading species，” said Dominic Hodgson of the British Antarctic Survey.“They arrive by ship, where they exist in kitchens.They now have an increasing chance of surviving in the Antarctic as it warms up, and that is a worry.Insects like the houseflies carry bacteria that could have a deadly effect on native life forms.”
The Antarctic has several native species of insects.Together with its native mosses，these are now under increased threat from three major sources: visiting scientists, increasing number of tourists and global warming.However, it is global warming that is the main driver of the “greening” of the Antarctic.
In the 2015－2016 travel season，more than 38,000 tourists visited the Antarctic.“These tourists are often very careful about not leaving waste.But they could carry seeds or larvae on their boots when they set foot on the Antarctic，” said Dominic.
More and more invading insects and plants have been found on the Antarctic and have required removal.“The insects and plants that are native to the Antarctic have survived there for thousands of years，” said Dominic.“We have to act now if we want to save the environment.”

Scientists know quite a lot about stars.After centuries of pointing telescopes at the night sky, astronomers and amateurs alike can figure out key traits of any star, such as its mass or its composition.
To calculate a star's mass, just look at the time it takes to orbit a companion star.Then do a bit of calculation.To determine what it's made of, look at the spectrum (光谱) of light the star sends out.But the one mystery scientists haven't quite cracked yet is stars' ages.
“The sun is the only star we know the age of，” says astronomer David Soderblom.He works at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md.We use what we know about it and how it compares to others, he says, to figure out the ages of other stars.
Even well-studied stars surprise scientists every now and then.In 2019, the red supergiant Betelgeuse became gradually dark.At the time, astronomers weren't sure if this star was just going through a phase (位相)．The alternative idea was more exciting: It might be ready to explode as a supernova.(It turns out that it was just a phase.) The sun also shook them up when scientists noticed that it wasn't behaving like other middle-aged stars.It's not as magnetically active as other stars of its age and mass.That suggests astronomers still might not fully understand the timeline of middle age.
Using physics and indirect measurement, scientists can make a rough estimate of a star's age.Some methods, it turns out, work better for different types of stars.
Why do we even care Galaxies are huge collection of stars of different ages.Stars' ages might help us figure out how such galaxies grow and evolve or how planets within them form.Knowing stars' ages might even assist in the search for life in other solar systems.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们对恒星了解很多，例如了解恒星的特点，能测出它们的质量、成分等。但是，目前科学家还没有完全破解的一个奥秘是恒星的年龄。
5．What does the underlined word “cracked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Covered. B．Described.
C．Touched. D．Solved.
解析：选D 词义猜测题。画线词所在句前告诉我们如何计算恒星的质量以及确定它是由什么组成的，再结合画线词所在句中的转折连词“But”和“haven't”可推知，此处是说“但科学家们还没有完全破解的一个奥秘是恒星的年龄”。

A．Stars' companions.
B．Stars' types.
C．Stars' ages.
D．Stars' characteristics.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知，科学家们还没有完全解决的一个问题是恒星的年龄，再结合后文介绍的科学家们对恒星年龄不能确定等情况可推知，对于恒星科学家们目前最想研究的就是它们的年龄。
7．Why is the example in 2019 mentioned in Paragraph 4
A．To show stars' ages remain a puzzle for scientists.
B．To prove scientists have studied stars to the full.
C．To provide facts for scientists' researches on stars.
D．To warn scientists to notice some surprising stars.
解析：选A 写作意图题。 由本段的首句可知，即便是已经研究得很充分的恒星也时不时地让科学家们感到吃惊；由本段尾句可知，这个例子表明天文学家可能还没有完全理解中年恒星的时间线。由此可知，第四段提到2019年的例子是为了表明科学家们对恒星的年龄仍有困惑。
8．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．The ways of measuring a star's age.
B．The reasons for caring about space.
C．The significance of researching stars' ages.
D．The benefits of figuring out solar systems.
解析：选C 段落大意题。 根据最后一段中的“Stars' ages might help us ...systems.”可知，本段主要说明研究恒星年龄的意义所在。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
In the Renaissance Period, people became interested in higher education. They wanted to learn the ancient languages such as Greek and Latin — languages that were used in the old times, and study mathematics, science, and so on. Many universities were set up during the 16th century.
University education was a privilege of the rich. Girls were not allowed to attend and poor people could not afford to go. A member of a wealthy family could attend university at the age of ten. He might study in different universities and since the teaching was all done in Latin, it didn't matter which country he studied in. It was not unusual for a young boy study one year in Italy and another in France without speaking either French or Italian.
It was possible in the 16th century to complete university without learning how to read or write. Since books were handwritten, there was not enough to give one to each student. Often, only the teacher had a book. He would read to the students who would memorize what he said. Tests were oral, not written. In fact, many students finished school without ever writing a word.
For the not so wealthy, grammar schools were built in towns. They learned basic grammar and mathematics, and took part in Bible study. At home, girls learned washing, cooking, dancing, and how to take care of their family. Poor children rarely attended school.
The Renaissance was a time when learners did not simply accept what they were old. They did scientific experiments themselves to search for answers to the mysteries of the space. Copernicus calculated that the earth turned around the sun but was afraid to publish his works for fear that the Church would punish him. Galileo later supported this. The watch, the telescope and some others were some inventions of this period.
1．Why were a lot of universities built during the 16th century
A．Because higher education became people's concern.
B．Because people were interested in inventing things.
C．Because people desired to get rid of ignorance.
D．Because people were eager to learn advanced languages.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，在文艺复兴时期，人们对高等教育感兴趣，他们想学习古代语言、数学、科学等，所以在16世纪建起很多大学。由此可知选A。
2．What can be inferred about the universities in the 16th century
A．Whether boys or girls, all the children born into a wealthy family could go to university.
B. A man who could only speak French was not allowed to go to university.
C．Only if he spoke Latin could a rich young man study in any European university.
D. All children of ten could go to university.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，在16世纪，不允许女孩上大学，穷人上不起，富人家的孩子有的10岁就能上大学。所有的教学都是用拉丁语，所以即使不会说法语或意大利语也可以在法国或意大利上学，并且在哪个国家都可以。故选C。
3．Which of the following is true for the university students in the 16th century
A．A majority of them were able to write books.
B．Many of them could read books in Greek or Latin.
C．They finished tests only by speaking.
D．They graduated after handing in the papers they had finished.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Tests were oral, not written. In fact, many students finished school without ever writing a word.”可知，测试都是口头的不是书面的，很多学生不会写一个单词就完成学业了。故选C。

Copernicus calculated that the earth turned around the sun but was afraid to publish his works for fear that the Church would punish him. Galileo later supported this. The watch, the telescope and some others were some inventions of this period.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Warm weather and sunny days signal the beginning of barbecue season in the US. Barbecue briefly features a cookout, so when people say they're going to a barbecue, they usually mean that they're going to an outdoor event where food is cooked over a grill. Barbecue includes popular foods like hamburgers, hot dogs, and grilled vegetables.
Barbecue fans say that this is not real barbecue; it's just grilling. True barbecue — also called BBQ — is an American tradition that is as old as the country itself.
The first president of the United States, George Washington, wrote about going to a barbecue. Barbecue refers to meat that is cooked for a very long time (sometimes as long as 24 hours) over low heat from a wood fire. The smell of the burning wood adds flavor to the meat, which becomes soft as it cooks.
Different parts of the US have different ways of making barbecue. In Texas, people often use beef. In North and South Carolina, pork is the most common. In Kansas City, pork ribs (猪肋排) are the specialty. Each region says that its own barbecue is the best. There are barbecue contests every year, and even whole magazines about the art of making great barbecue.
Most Americans don't have the time or patience to dig a hole, fill it with special wood, light a fire and then cook meat carefully over it all day and night. So when they want real barbecue, they go to restaurants that do the hard work for them. For those who want to have their own, easy barbecues, there's always grilling.

School activities for students during COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing worldwide concern for elementary and secondary school students' mental condition. The following are some possible activities that can be carried out to help them and also create a safe and healthy school environment.
John's and Mary's thoughts
Students are presented with a picture which says that John and Mary have different thoughts after they have heard of the coronavirus. Then students are invited to guess and write the characters' thoughts on the picture. This activity uses a “projective” method, as students are not asked what their feelings are, but instead, they project their feelings onto the characters.
When I'm worried
After talking about what the characters may think, students can now turn their attention to themselves. They are asked to list their common worries, but most importantly, they are directed to think about some response measures and the helpful relationships they can rely on. This is a vital exercise, for it shifts students' focus from their worries to the coping strategies.
Seeking a balance
Students are asked to provide three key recommendations to prevent infection. Teachers can pick out the positive behavior and correct any incorrect suggestions. It's also important to strike a balance between the recommended healthy behavior and the concept that microorganisms are a natural part of the environment and that many of them play a key role in sustaining human life.
Videos to know and understand viruses
It is advisable to plan science lessons on microorganisms. Students can know more about the pandemic by studying microbial (微生物的) life, and thus they can understand what viruses are and how they spread. But be careful not to bring anxiety and avoid talking about scary messages.

B．It enables students to share experiences.
C．It directs students' attention to the solutions.

I arrived at this beautiful Spanish island at the start of September, full of enthusiasm and eager to start working as an English teacher. I sorted all the necessary paperwork out and moved into a flat of my own within the first couple of days. Great, or so I thought. At 4 am and at several intervals after that, I was rudely awoken by the cock that lives opposite me. Fantastic! I now have 5 extra alarms every morning.
In the following weeks, I also started to notice a trend. Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day, like the hot water line, bowls, cups, the shower, doors or glass shelves. Yes, I am clumsy but things just fell apart. If it wasn't broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting. When I took out my clothes, they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.
As for the general lack of equipment in the house, there was no oven, tin opener, sharp knives or potato peeler. It turned out making a burger from scratch wasn't the best idea. I had a small microwave and a grill. I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went on. Smoke soon started to appear. I was not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door, the electricity cut out. I spent the following 10 minutes in a dark, smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone, which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world.
Luckily, I'm now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned. No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break). I've also realized that even if a flat looks pretty, it doesn't mean its contents work. I am also learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils (用具)．
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。“我”去西班牙的一个漂亮的小岛上做英语老师，虽然拥有自己的公寓，可里面的生活用具很老旧，给“我”的生活带来了诸多不便。这让“我”知道了漂亮但并不实用的道理，也学会了如何利用有限的生活用品生活。
4．What problem did the author have in the morning
A．She often slept late.
B．Her alarm failed to work.
C．She got some noisy neighbors.
D．Her sleep was disturbed by a rooster.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At 4 am and at several intervals after that, I was rudely awoken by the cock that lives opposite me.”可知，凌晨四点开始，每隔一会儿，作者就被对面公鸡的打鸣声吵醒；据此可知，作者的睡眠被公鸡打鸣声打扰了，故D项正确。
5．What can we know about the author from Paragraph 2
A．She was a very careful woman.
B．She was quite satisfied with her flat.
C．Her flat was pretty old but comfortable.
D．Her household articles were in poor condition.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Things in my flat started to break ...doors or glass shelves.”可知，作者所住的房子的东西每天损坏一件；据此可推知，作者所使用的日常用品很破旧，故D项正确。
6．What happened when the author was making a burger
A．She was seriously injured.
B．She made a terrible mistake.
C．She broke her phone accidentally.
D．She suffered a sudden power failure.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I had a small microwave and a grill ...Smoke soon started to appear.”并结合该段其他内容可知，作者将金属烤架放进微波炉里，启动后发生了故障，电源被切断；据此可推知，作者在制作汉堡时犯了个错误，故B项正确。
7．What is the text mainly about
A．Remaining optimistic.
B．How to choose a nice flat.
C．Learning to live in a new flat.
D．Why living abroad is not easy.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。阅读全文可知，最后一段最后一句是全文的主题句；结合全文内容可知，文章通过讲述作者在西班牙的一个小岛上做英语老师时如何使用住房内的破旧日常用品生活的故事，说明了应当学会适应生活的道理，故C项正确。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other countries. Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners.__8__There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language. Why is this

Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly？__11__It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common.

Do we really need that
Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn't too difficult and doesn't include any one group's culture. It is called Esperanto.__12__Maybe the popularity of English won't last that long either. Who knows There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language.

11．选D 根据空前一句以及空后一句可知，作者提问英语传播到全世界有好处吗？以及后文全世界有一门共同语言很重要，可知作者认为英语的传播很有必要，D选项表示“这个问题毋庸置疑”，承上启下，符合语境。

Luckily, I'm now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned. No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break). I've also realized that even if a flat looks pretty, it doesn't mean its contents work. I am also learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils (用具)．

About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other countries. Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners.__8__There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language. Why is this
__9__One of them is that English has become the language of business. Another important reason is that popular American culture (like movies, music, and McDonald's) has quickly spread throughout the world.__10__
Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly？__11__It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common. Our world has become very global and we need to communicate with one another. On the other hand, English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture with it. Do we really need that
Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn't too difficult and doesn't include any one group's culture. It is called Esperanto.__12__Maybe the popularity of English won't last that long either. Who knows There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
China has become the first country to successfully land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon. The unmanned Chang'e-4 probe (探测器) has also made the first lunar landing since 2019. It has the task of exploring the side of the moon that never faces the earth. The dark side of the moon is older and has a thicker surface than the visible side. It takes the moon as long to go around on its own axis (轴) as it does for one complete orbit around the Earth.
The Chinese probe landed in a huge crater 2,500km in diameter and 13km deep. The crater is one of the oldest parts of the moon and our solar system.
Scientists hope to learn more about the geology of the far side of the moon. The craft has two cameras on board which will send images back to earth. It will also attempt to send signals to distant regions of space, something that cannot happen on earth because of too much radio noise.
Chang'e-4 also has instruments on board to examine minerals as well as a container with seeds which will try to create a miniature (微型的) biosphere (生物圈)．
Communication with the spacecraft is not easy. Images and other data must be transmitted to a separate satellite because no direct communication with the earth is possible.
For China the Chang'e-4 mission is an important achievement, because the country has successfully done something no other nation on earth has. It wants to become a leading power in space exploration and has announced plans to send astronauts to the moon and set up its own space station.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。中国已成为第一个在月球远端成功着陆航天器的国家。中国宣布计划将宇航员送上月球并建立自己的空间站。
1．Where did the Chang'e-4 probe land
A．On the lunar side facing the earth.
B．On the invisible side of the moon.
C．In a younger crater on the moon.
D．In a previous space station.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的第二句和第三句可知，嫦娥四号探测器也于2019年首次登月。它的任务是探索月球永不面对地球的一面。“the side of the moon that never faces the earth”即是“the invisible side of the moon”。月球永不面对地球的一面即是在月球看不见的一面。故选B。
2．Why is the craft equipped with a container
A．To see what seeds can come out on the moon.
B．To collect some important matter on the moon.
C．To find whether the seeds can grow on the moon.
D．To check whether some minerals exist on the moon.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，嫦娥四号上还装有矿物检测仪器，以及一个装有种子的容器，试图用这些种子来创造一个微型生物圈。由此可知，用容器的种子来看看是否能在月球上生长。故选C。
3．What can we learn from the text
A．The dark side of the moon is as cold as the other side.
B．The bright side is younger and thinner than the other side.
C．Other places in space may hardly receive signals from the craft.
D．The two cameras on the craft can send pictures to the earth easily.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The dark side of the moon is older and has a thicker surface than the visible side.” 可知，月球的暗面比能看到的(即亮的)那一面古老、表面要厚些。也就是说亮的那一面比另一面(暗的一面)要年轻些，要薄一些。故选B。
4．According to the text, what will China do in the future
A．China will land manned space craft on the moon.
B．China will build another space station on the moon.
C．China will launch more space probes to the moon.
D．China will become the first country in exploring space.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，中国已宣布有计划将宇航员送上月球并建立自己的空间站。由此可推断出中国将会让载人航天飞机登上月球。故选A。

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”， until it has been read aloud by someone, a teacher or a 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, eventually, the most concrete “interpretation (解释)” of it, suggesting tone, rhymes, 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 the 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 and “exchanging of views”， if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry and take it easy when we are reading a poem. Poetry is “a criticism of life”， and “a heightening (提升) of life”. It is “a most appropriate approach to the truth of feeling”， and it “can transform your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature (文学) more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must try out poetry-teaching. Those who don't like it should not be forced to convey that negative feeling 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.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
__7__In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one's own community.__8__ Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.
__9__Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems
There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves.__10__Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the readers, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem. They want their students to see that poems mean something. __11__
A．How did things change
B．Poems are worth learning.
C．Knowing how to write poetry is not easy.
D．It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America.
E．Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual.
F．Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem.
G．Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。在19世纪美国人通常做的事情就是晚上坐在炉火旁大声读诗，但现在很多人却不读诗。对于这种变化作者分析了其原因。
7．选D 第一段提到，对于大多数人来说读诗不是日常的活动，许多人高中毕业后没有读过诗。空后面提到在19世纪美国人通常做的事情就是晚上坐在炉火旁大声读诗。由此可知设空处启承上下文，D选项表示“提醒我们美国不是一直这种情况是值得的”，符合语境。
8．选E 空前面一句提到，诗是快乐的源泉，是自我教育的源泉，是和其他人或者自己社区以外的世界联系的源泉。E选项表示“读诗不仅是个人行为也是社会行为，可能与其说是个体的不如说是社会的”，E选项符合语境。
9．选A 第一段提到，大多数人现在不读诗，第二段提到在19世纪美国人经常读诗，且整个社会都这样。所以第三段提出问题，表示“情况怎样发生变化的”。由此可知A选项符合语境。
10．选F 空前面一句提到，“我”认为有三种因素：诗人，老师和我们自己。F选项表示“在这些因素中，最不重要的是第三个：相比较我们背叛诗，围绕诗的世界更多地背叛了我们”。由此可知，F选项顺承上一句，故选F。
11．选G 空前面提到，诗人使读者不愿意读诗，老师也一样。他们想让学生知道诗的技巧和诗的意义。G选项表示“然而老师把这些关注强加给学生时通常发生的事情就是年轻人认为诗是令人不高兴的字谜”。由此可知，G选项顺承前面的内容。

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”， until it has been read aloud by someone, a teacher or a 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, eventually, the most concrete “interpretation (解释)” of it, suggesting tone, rhymes, 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 the 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 and “exchanging of views”， if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry and take it easy when we are reading a poem. Poetry is “a criticism of life”， and “a heightening (提升) of life”. It is “a most appropriate approach to the truth of feeling”， and it “can transform your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature (文学) more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must try out poetry-teaching. Those who don't like it should not be forced to convey that negative feeling 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.
4．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．practise reading it aloud
5．What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply
A．More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B．Poetry is more important than any other literature genre.
C．One cannot enjoy life fully without a good understanding of poetry.
D．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
6．The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by “________”．
A．build a booth
B．provide equipment
C．leave a certain amount of time
D．set aside enough space
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
__7__In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one's own community.__8__ Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.
__9__Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems
There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves.__10__Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the readers, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem. They want their students to see that poems mean something. __11__
A．How did things change
B．Poems are worth learning.
C．Knowing how to write poetry is not easy.
D．It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America.
E．Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual.
F．Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem.
G．Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
