Looking for a new poetry book to read I’ve got you! We’re going to explore some of my favorite poetry collections, which range from the traditional all the way to the totally experimental. And though they differ in terms of tone and subject matter, they’ve all got we call "good parts".
Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong
It is the first poetry collection from Ocean Vuong. Vuong’s style is well-suited to the heavy subjects he pursues, particularly when he reflects on the loss of his father and his experiences as a wartime refugee. There’s a certain wonderful quality to his writing.
Lunch Poems by Frank O’Hara
If you like a conversational style, Lunch Poems might be the poetry book for you. Personal, funny, and easy, the collection perfectly shows the casual voice of Frank O’Hara, an outstanding figure of the New School Movement in last-’50s New York. As the name suggests most of the poems were written during his lunch bread at work, bringing a realistic image by the writing.
100 Selected Poems by E. E. Cummings
It’s a shame that more people don’t take E. E. Cummings seriously. Yes, his poetry is sometimes experimental. Unconcerned with "rules", Cummings tried to capture emotion in its own form.
The Complete Poems by Elizabeth Bishop
In my opinion, any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop. Highly skilled and highly influential, Bishop was one of the most powerful voices of the 20th century. She mostly worked within traditional forms, but the forms led to surprising effects, mixing classic style with modern ones.
1. Who experienced war
A. Frank O’Hara. B. Ocean Vuong
C E. E. Cummings. D. Elizabeth Bishop
2. Which poetry collection reflect the real world
A. Lunch Poems. B. 100 Selected Poems
C. The Complete Poems D. Night Sky with Exit Wounds
3. What does the author think of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry
A. It is funny B. It is personal
C. It is excellent D. It is experimental
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。作者介绍了自己最喜欢的四本诗歌集。

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As the name suggests most of the poems were written during his lunch bread at work, bringing a realistic image by the writing.(顾名思义，大多数诗歌都是在他工作的午餐时间写的，通过写作带来了一种现实的形象)”可知，Lunch Poems诗歌集反映真实世界的情况。故选A。

Jane Addams was born in 1860 in the small town of Cedarville, Illinois. Addams graduated in 1881 from the Rockford Female Seminary. That same year, her father died. Feeling sad for his death and troubled by her own health problems, she spent the next six years seeking a direction for her life.
During an 1887 visit to London with her lifelong friend Ellen Starr, Addams came upon the Whitechapel District’s Toynbee Hall, where activists worked to improve life in that poor area. What she saw there inspired her.
In 1889, she and Miss Starr rented a large, empty home in a working-class immigrant district of Chicago. They called it Hull House. There were kindergarten classes for the young, supervised social activities for older children and college -level courses for adults in the evenings, along with various clubs for all ages and housing for single working women.
In the wake of Jane’s success, her influence and activism expanded. She worked to improve the education system and in 1909 became the first woman president of system and in 1909 became the first woman president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. She also fought for labor reform and workers rights, sponsored research into the causes of poverty and crime, and pressed for health and housing regulation. In 1910, she was the first woman to receive an honorary degree from Yale University. During that same year, she became president of the National Conference of Social Work-another first for a woman.
She supported the interests of African Americans, women, and immigrants and campaigned for their being treated equally and getting more chances both nationally and internationally. In 1931, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She died of cancer in 1935, and her funeral was held in Hull House’s courtyard.
4. Why did Addams spend six years looking for a direction for her life
A. She lost her way. B. She suffered from mental and physical problem.
C. She wanted to get help from the friends. D. She was too clever to ensure her life.
5. Where did Addams begin her own business

D. She helped people in need and fought for their equal rights.

Parents have a new tool in the battle over screen time, with an Australian app asking kids to solve one math or English problem before they can unlock their phones.
Sydney entrepreneurs Issac and Ann Elnekave turned their bright idea into an app called 1 Question and tried it on their 16-year-old daughter Alyssa.
“At first I wasn’t sure about it,” Alyssa said. “I didn’t want my friends to blame me if their parents made them get it. But once I started using it, I realized it doesn’t take that long to answer a question and it’s actually pretty cool.”
“Research has shown almost half of children aged between 6 and 16 either have a mobile phone or have access to one. The majority play games or use apps like YouTube for an average of about five hours a day. The 1 Question app creates micro learning moments,” Mrs. Elnekave said. “We created a solution that makes a balance between screen time and study.”
Parents can download the $2.99 a month app onto their child’s phone, select their grade and curriculum subjects, then monitor each time their child correctly answers a question to open a game or app such as YouTube.
“We designed the user experience to be really simple, but underneath the hood is our incredibly intelligent AI engine,” Mr. Elnekave said. “As your child learns, so does the AI, which works out each child’s areas of strength and weakness and creates a customized path for their learning.”
The app has a base of 12,000 questions developed by teachers using the Australian, British and American curriculums designed for primary school children.
8. What do we know about the 1 Question app
A. It is free of charge.
B. It contains questions suitable for high school students.
C. Children need to answer more than one question correctly to unlock their phones.
D. It serves to help children learn something useful during their screen time.
9. What dose Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The popularity of mobile phones.
B. The influence of phone games on children.
C. The function and significance of the 1 Question app.
D. The way to install the l Question app.
10. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Science. C. Finance. D. Health.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚的一款应用，它要求孩子们在解锁手机前先解决一道题，这可以帮助孩子们学习有用的东西。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Parents have a new tool in the battle over screen time, with an Australian app asking kids to solve one math or English problem before they can unlock their phones.”（家长们有了一个新工具来对抗屏幕时间，澳大利亚的一款应用程序要求孩子们在解锁手机之前解决一道数学或英语问题。）和第四段中“We created a solution that makes a balance between screen time and study.”（我们创造了一个解决方案，在屏幕时间和学习之间取得平衡。）可知，1 Question应用程序可以帮助孩子们在看屏幕的时候学到一些有用的东西。故选D项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段““...The majority play games or use apps like YouTube for an average of about five hours a day. The 1 Question app creates micro learning moments,” Mrs. Elnekave said. “We created a solution that makes a balance between screen time and study.”（“……。大多数人每天平均花5个小时玩游戏或使用YouTube等应用程序。1 Question应用程序创造了微学习时间，”埃尔内卡夫说。“我们创造了一个解决方案，在屏幕时间和学习之间取得平衡。”）可知，第四段主要谈论了1 Question应用程序的功能和意义。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“Parents have a new tool in the battle over screen time, with an Australian app asking kids to solve one math or English problem before they can unlock their phones.(家长们有了一个新工具来对抗屏幕时间，澳大利亚的一款应用程序要求孩子们在解锁手机之前解决一道数学或英语问题。)”可知，文章介绍了一个新的应用程序，它会要求孩子们在解锁手机前先解决一道题。由此推知，文章可能出自报纸的“科学”版块。故选B项。

B. Others believe that the environment is more important in shaping one’s personality. Attitudes towards introverts and extroverts vary in different cultures.
C. One of the most basic personality differences is between extroverts and introverts. Extroversion and introversion are ways of describing a person’s attitude towards the world: Do they move towards it or away from it
D. Everyone has a different personality, which makes people individual and unique.
E. Although personality types are different, most people have both extrovert and introvert characteristic is in their personality, but often they are more one type than the other. Some people say that extroverts and introverts are born not made.
________→________→________→________→________
【答案】 ①. D ②. C ③. A ④. E ⑤. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。外向者和内向者之间最基本的性格差异之一，文章介绍了这两种性格的特点和形成的原因。
【详解】根据选项C中的“One of the most basic personality differences is between extroverts and introverts.(外向者和内向者之间最基本的性格差异之一。)”可知，前文是讲人的性格各有差异，所以选项D“Everyone has a different personality, which makes people individual and unique.(每个人都有不同的个性，这使得每个人都是独一无二的。)”在选项C之前。根据选项C中的“Extroversion and introversion are ways of describing a person’s attitude towards the world: Do they move towards it or away from it (外向和内向是描述一个人对世界的态度的两种方式：他们是接近它还是远离它？)”可知，下文是讲性格外向和内向的区别，所以选项A“Extroverts (性格外向者) are people who look outwards. They are interested in a range of experiences and enjoy spending time with other people. Introverts, on the other hand, look inwards. They feel easier alone and enjoy ideas and thinking.(外向者是向外看的人。他们对各种各样的经历感兴趣，喜欢与他人共度时光。另一方面，内向的人只关注自己的内心。他们独处时感觉更轻松，喜欢创意和思考。)”在选项C之后。根据选项E中的“Some people say that extroverts and introverts are born not made.(有些人说外向和内向是天生的，而不是后天养成的。)”可知，后文是讲外向和内向性格的形成，“some people say”和“others believe”构成前后关系，所以选项B“Others believe that the environment is more important in shaping one’s personality. Attitudes towards introverts and extroverts vary in different cultures.(另一些人则认为环境在塑造一个人的个性方面更为重要。不同的文化对内向者和外向者的态度各不相同。)”在选项E之后。选项E中的“Although personality types are different, most people have both extrovert and introvert characteristic is in their personality, but often they are more one type than the other.(虽然性格类型不同，但大多数人的性格中都有外向和内向的特征，但通常他们会比较倾向于其中一种。)”承接前文中的性格外向和内向的特点的描述，所以EB在DCA之后。故填①D②C③A④E⑤B。
五、选句填空(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

【12题详解】

【16题详解】
本段段首句谈到“Be intentional and reflective about your experience at work.（要有意识地反思你的工作经历。）”本空前面谈到：当工作变得可预测和例行公事时，要反思你的工作可能会很困难。本空后面作者引用作家威廉·阿鲁达(William Arruda)就如何反思一周的工作提出的建议。因此本空在谈：要反思自己的工作我们要有意识地去做。C项中的it指代前面提到的“反思自己的工作”这件事。故选C。

考查时态语态。句意：每个人学习的最佳方式都不同；这被称为学习方式。主语与谓语构成被动关系，根据上文Everyone learns best in different ways可知为一般现在时的被动语态，主语为this，谓语用单数。故填is named。
【33题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，你有没有注意到你很容易记住图表或图片？此处为句型it be adj. for sb. to do sth.，意为“对于某人来说做某事是……”，it作形式主语，故填to remember。
【34题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这意味着你可能是一个视觉学习者，这意味着你应该使用更多的图像和图片来学习。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词visual learner，在从句中作主语，指物，故填which。
【35题详解】
考查比较级。句意：也许你已经注意到，当你安静地听音乐时，你会更容易学习，或者你不记得老师在黑板上写了什么，但你可以在你的脑海中“听到”他们说的话，就像他们现在在房间里一样。此处与没有听音乐进行比较，应用比较级。故填easier。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：也许你已经注意到，当你安静地听音乐时，你会更容易学习，或者你不记得老师在黑板上写了什么，但你可以在你的脑海中“听到”他们说的话，就像他们现在在房间里一样。修饰动词短语listen to应用副词quietly，故填quietly。
【37题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：也许你已经注意到，当你安静地听音乐时，你会更容易学习，或者你不记得老师在黑板上写了什么，但你可以在你的脑海中“听到”他们说的话，就像他们现在在房间里一样。此处表示对现在情况的虚拟，从句应用一般过去时，be动词用were。故填were。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：举个例子，如果你录下老师的谈话。example为可数名词，此处为泛指，且是发音以元音音素开头的单词，应用an，首字母大写。故填An。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：也许你已经注意到，在课堂上，你想集中注意力学习，但你真的需要站起来或四处走动。表示“集中注意力于”短语为focus attention on。故填on。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：也许你喜欢在学习的时候独自在房间里踱步。表示“独自”短语为by oneself，根据主语you，应用yourself，表示“你自己”，故填yourself。
【41题详解】
考查省略句。句意：这可能意味着当你用身体做事时，你学得更好。在when引导的状语从句中，当从句主语和主句主语一致且从句含有be的某种形式时，可省略从句的主语和be，主语you和do是主动关系，when引导的从句完整句子为when you are doing things with your body。故填doing。

Looking for a new poetry book to read I’ve got you! We’re going to explore some of my favorite poetry collections, which range from the traditional all the way to the totally experimental. And though they differ in terms of tone and subject matter, they’ve all got we call "good parts".
Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong
It is the first poetry collection from Ocean Vuong. Vuong’s style is well-suited to the heavy subjects he pursues, particularly when he reflects on the loss of his father and his experiences as a wartime refugee. There’s a certain wonderful quality to his writing.
Lunch Poems by Frank O’Hara
If you like a conversational style, Lunch Poems might be the poetry book for you. Personal, funny, and easy, the collection perfectly shows the casual voice of Frank O’Hara, an outstanding figure of the New School Movement in last-’50s New York. As the name suggests most of the poems were written during his lunch bread at work, bringing a realistic image by the writing.
100 Selected Poems by E. E. Cummings
It’s a shame that more people don’t take E. E. Cummings seriously. Yes, his poetry is sometimes experimental. Unconcerned with "rules", Cummings tried to capture emotion in its own form.
The Complete Poems by Elizabeth Bishop
In my opinion, any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop. Highly skilled and highly influential, Bishop was one of the most powerful voices of the 20th century. She mostly worked within traditional forms, but the forms led to surprising effects, mixing classic style with modern ones.
1. Who experienced war
A. Frank O’Hara. B. Ocean Vuong
C. E. E. Cummings. D. Elizabeth Bishop
2. Which poetry collection reflect the real world
A. Lunch Poems. B. 100 Selected Poems
C. The Complete Poems D. Night Sky with Exit Wounds
3. What does the author think of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry
A. It is funny B. It is personal
C. It is excellent D. It is experimental

Jane Addams was born in 1860 in the small town of Cedarville, Illinois. Addams graduated in 1881 from the Rockford Female Seminary. That same year, her father died. Feeling sad for his death and troubled by her own health problems, she spent the next six years seeking a direction for her life.
During an 1887 visit to London with her lifelong friend Ellen Starr Addams came upon the Whitechapel District’s Toynbee Hall, where activists worked to improve life in that poor area. What she saw there inspired her.

She also fought for labor reform and workers rights, sponsored research into the causes of poverty and crime, and pressed for health and housing regulation. In 1910, she was the first woman to receive an honorary degree from Yale University. During that same year, she became president of the National Conference of Social Work-another first for a woman.
She supported the interests of African Americans, women, and immigrants and campaigned for their being treated equally and getting more chances both nationally and internationally. In 1931, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She died of cancer in 1935, and her funeral was held in Hull House’s courtyard.

Parents have a new tool in the battle over screen time, with an Australian app asking kids to solve one math or English problem before they can unlock their phones.
Sydney entrepreneurs Issac and Ann Elnekave turned their bright idea into an app called 1 Question and tried it on their 16-year-old daughter Alyssa.
“At first I wasn’t sure about it,” Alyssa said. “I didn’t want my friends to blame me if their parents made them get it. But once I started using it, I realized it doesn’t take that long to answer a question and it’s actually pretty cool.”
“Research has shown almost half of children aged between 6 and 16 either have a mobile phone or have access to one. The majority play games or use apps like YouTube for an average of about five hours a day. The 1 Question app creates micro learning moments,” Mrs. Elnekave said. “We created a solution that makes a balance between screen time and study.”
Parents can download the $2.99 a month app onto their child’s phone, select their grade and curriculum subjects, then monitor each time their child correctly answers a question to open a game or app such as YouTube.
“We designed the user experience to be really simple, but underneath the hood is our incredibly intelligent AI engine,” Mr. Elnekave said. “As your child learns, so does the AI, which works out each child’s areas of strength and weakness and creates a customized path for their learning.”
The app has a base of 12,000 questions developed by teachers using the Australian, British and American curriculums designed for primary school children.
8. What do we know about the 1 Question app
A. It is free of charge.
B. It contains questions suitable for high school students.
C. Children need to answer more than one question correctly to unlock their phones.
D. It serves to help children learn something useful during their screen time.
9. What dose Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The popularity of mobile phones.
B. The influence of phone games on children.
C. The function and significance of the 1 Question app.
D. The way to install the l Question app.
10. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Science. C. Finance. D. Health.
四、语句排序(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

A. Extroverts(性格外向者) are people who look outwards. They are interested in a range of experiences and enjoy spending time with other people. Introverts, on the other hand, look inwards. They feel easier alone and enjoy ideas and thinking.
B. Others believe that the environment is more important in shaping one’s personality. Attitudes towards introverts and extroverts vary in different cultures.
C. One of the most basic personality differences is between extroverts and introverts. Extroversion and introversion are ways of describing a person’s attitude towards the world: Do they move towards it or away from it
