UNIT 5 POEMS
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题2.5分,共20分)
A
No poem should ever be discussed or“analysed”,until it has been read aloud by someone,a teacher or a student.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,eventually,the most concrete“interpretation (解释)”of it,suggesting the tone,rhymes,and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice is obviously a special reward.But even those teaching aids 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“analysing” it and “exchanging 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 “the heightening (提升) of life”.It is “a most appropriate approach to the truth of the feeling”,and it “can transform 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 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 (本质的) 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.

The first step towards writing any poem is coming up with something to write about.To do that, you have to choose deep or attractive material. Anything can be the topic for great poems which have been written about such topics as a gas station or pieces of broken glass on the beach.
It’s easiest to write a good poem about something you know well, that you have experienced first-hand, or that you have nearby so that you can observe it carefully. This is what makes the poem deep and interesting and what will be the hidden details or qualities you discover or the things that remind you of the unique view.
In one of his books,the poet Ted Hughes talks about how to write a poem about an animal.“The key,” he says,“is to concentrate hard enough on the animal,to choose the words that best catch the animal you have in your mind.” You can apply this approach to any poem.
In the beginning,you don’t have to worry about the “style” or write in a “poetic” way that means being filled with rhythm and beauty.In fact,if you start to think about being poetic,it can keep you from what you’re actually writing about and hurt your poem.Have you ever tried to have a conversation with someone who was trying to impress you Then you know how boring this can be.The person is really thinking about himself or herself,not about the conversation.
Similarly,if you are worrying about what impression your poem will make,then that takes your attention away from the topic of your poem.
In a word,if the poem is about you or your life,try to take the angle of a careful reporter when you write it down.You should focus on accurately communicating an aspect of your experience instead of focusing on what impression you are making when you do it.
( )5.What will be an easy topic for writing a good poem
[A] Something beautiful.
[B] Something interesting.
[C] Something you know well.
[D] Something others have experienced before.
( )6.What can we infer from Ted Hughes’s opinion on writing a poem
[A] It is necessary to select the words.
[B] It is important to choose a good topic.
[C] It is necessary to focus on the style of poems.
[D] It is difficult to write a poem about animals.
( )7.What is the last paragraph mainly about
[A] The impression of a good poem.
[B] The influence on creating a poem.
[C] The importance of selecting material.
[D] The conclusion on methods of writing poems.

Art is all around us.It can be found everywhere,including fancy galleries,people’s living rooms,and on the sides of buildings.So,why is art important
It promotes expression and creativity.As humans,we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication.1. It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak.In fact,participation in the art may even assist kids with language,motor skills,and visual learning development.
2. When someone applies for a job,there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping.However,many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define.Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change,think creatively,or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context.3. This is why people devote their lives to studying cave art,Shakespearean plays,and so much more.When we take the time to dive into art created in the past,we can learn about other generations and eras.We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it.4.
In therapy(疗法)settings,art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss.5. In one important study,children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting.This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
A.These are its major benefits.
B.Children love to draw,sing,and dance.
C.Art and human history go hand-in-hand.
D.How does it have an impact on our life

to share
1.【解析】考查动词的时态。由上文的“It was the Mid-Autumn Festival.”和下文的recited可知,应用一般过去时。故填grabbed。
2.【解析】 考查介词。固定搭配translate...into...意为“把……翻译成……”。故填into。
3.【解析】考查表语从句。设空处位于is后,后面的句子不缺成分且意思完整,所以设空处引导表语从句,应用that。故填that。
4.【解析】 考查名词复数。由设空处前面的five or seven可知,此处应用名词复数。故填characters。
5.【解析】考查冠词。此处指这就像一场冒险,表示泛指,且adventure以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。故填an。
6.【解析】 考查名词。分析可知,设空处前的形容词性物主代词应修饰名词。故填optimism。
7.【解析】考查连词。此处是在说波特最喜欢的诗人是苏轼和陶渊明,表示并列关系且设空处意为“和”。故填and。
8.【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析可知,本句中已有谓语动词,所以此处应用非谓语动词的一种形式,see和其逻辑主语Porter之间为主动关系,应用现在分词作状语。位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Seeing。
9.【解析】考查形容词。此处指中国传统文化,应用形容词作定语。故填traditional。
10.【解析】 考查动词不定式。would like to do sth意为“想要做某事”。故填to share。
