理清说明文的行文结构
本文是一篇说明文。文章结构是典型的“总—分—总”模式。文章第一段简要概括了诗歌这种文学体裁的价值、意义及特点，点明该语篇的核心内容是介绍几种简单的诗歌形式。阅读时重点关注文章首段，便于我们迅速捕捉到文章的主旨大意。文章的第二至第六段则分别描述了童谣、清单诗、五行诗、俳句的特点以及我国唐代诗人王建的《望夫石》。在阅读这部分时要注重对细节信息的捕捉和理解。文章结尾是鼓励学生模仿创作英文诗歌，呼应开篇时的总起，并对分论部分进行总结。利用好文章结构，有助于提高我们的阅读能力和解题能力。
(一)赏用词之妙
The distinctive characteristics of poetry often include economical use of words, descriptive and vivid language, integrated imagery, literary devices such as similes and metaphors, and arrangement of words, lines, rhymes, and rhythm.
赏析：distinctive突出了诗歌显著的特点。economical表明诗歌语言的简练；descriptive和vivid说明诗歌的语言具有描述性和生动性；integrated突出表明诗歌的意象是整体的。本段文字准确地说明了诗歌的特点。
仿写训练/单句语法填空
①Coke is an __________ (economy) fuel but it leaves a lot of ash.
②The term I used was meant to be purely __________ (describe)．
③Confident and brave, she __________ (vivid) brought the character to life.

(三)赏修辞之功
1．Hundreds of stars ... Hundreds of shells ... Hundreds of birds ... Hundreds of lambs ... Hundreds of dewdrops ... Hundreds of bees ... Hundreds of butterflies ...
赏析：这首诗歌运用了排比的修辞手法。诗中通过重复使用“hundreds of”来列举天空中的星星、岸边的贝壳、歌唱的鸟儿、阳光下的羔羊、迎接黎明的露珠、紫苜蓿中的蜜蜂、草坪上的蝴蝶等众多事物，通过排比增强了诗歌的节奏感和韵律感，更加鲜明地突出了世间万物众多的景象。
2．Life can be good，
Life can be bad，
Life is mostly cheerful，
but sometimes sad
赏析：这首诗歌采用了对比的手法，如“Life can be good, Life can be bad”和“Life is mostly cheerful, but sometimes sad”，通过对比，更加突出了生活的多面性。

The Golden Age of Chinese Poetry
A great dynasty
The Tang Dynasty (618－907) was one of the great dynasties in Chinese history. It was a time of expansion. At its high point, the country reached as far as Siberia (now part of Russia) in the north, Korea in the east and Vietnam in the south.
An exciting culture
Trade with foreign countries created a tolerant and inclusive (兼容并包的) culture. Persians, Arabs and Jews came to live in Chinese towns, bringing with them their own religions and customs. They were allowed to keep their traditional forms of entertainment such as music and dance, which influenced the development of Tang culture. At the same time foreigners who were educated at the Tang court took the Chinese culture home with them.
Technology and progress
Cultural development went hand in hand with technological progress. The invention of printing around this period meant that knowledge could be recorded and shared as never before. But it was not just scientific knowledge that could now reach a wider audience. Printing also marked the golden age of literature — and literature, in the Tang Dynasty, meant poetry.
Tang poetry
In the beauty of its images and the range of topics, Tang poetry was better than everything that had come before it. The explosion of talent and the appearance of new poetry forms both contributed to that. In the “New Style Verse” which appeared during the Tang period, each line has five or seven syllables (音节), and there are lots of rules which govern (控制) the tones. Being able to write poems was an important qualification for people who wanted to become government officials. So lots of people became interested in poetry.
Du Fu
One of the greatest of the Tang poets was Du Fu (712－770). However, during his lifetime he never became famous: in fact, he thought of himself as a failure. It was only in the 11th century that his poetic genius was recognised. Sometimes he is called the “poet of history” or “the mirror
of his time” because he paints a realistic picture of the problems of the age in which he
①
lived. Du Fu is also known for his friendship with Li Bai (701－762), another great poet of the age.
Li Bai
Examination, he began a life of travel and poetry. He used simple, direct language and often chose irregular forms. Friendship，the human condition, and the pleasures of wine are his favourite subjects.

This was no ordinary class.The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University.They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment：“an interesting week of poetry”．This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many non science students What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field
The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes.They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers.All students noticed one thing — the importance of spoken words.In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard.But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked.They didn't write anything on the board.
The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry.In both subjects, students need to find layers of meaning.Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult.This search for different levels of meaning doesn't happen much in undergraduate science classes, but it is important later, in a graduate school.And it is always important in humanities (人文学科)．
Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience.One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful, clear definitions when he explains a poem.He also plans to be more informative as he teaches.Most of the scientists agreed on several points.Firstly, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important.Secondly, the poetry class was fun.One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”
But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: all of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一些科学家和工程师上了一堂与自己领域不相关的课——诗歌课。通过体验和比较，他们得出了一些新的感悟。
4．What do we know about this unusual class
A．The teachers did lots of writing on the board.
B．The teachers were invited to attend several lectures.
C．The students were professors from a university.
D．The students were studying science and humanities.
解析：细节理解题。 根据第一段第二、三句可知，这节不同寻常的课的学生都是大学教授。
√
5．The experiment was designed to find out .
A．how to teach the students in the science class
B．whether poetry is difficult for science students
C．what to be taught in the humanities class
D．why many humanities students find science hard
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many non science students ”可知，这堂课的目的是解决人文学科的学生发现科学很难的问题。
6．Finding levels of meaning is .
A．important for graduate students in humanities
B．difficult for graduate students in humanities
C．common for undergraduate students in science
D．easy for undergraduate students in science
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This search for different levels of meaning ... is important later, in a graduate school.And it is always important in humanities(人文学科)．”可知，这种对不同层次意义的探索在本科科学课上并不常见，但是这在以后的研究生学院中很重要，在人文学科中也很重要。
7．What did the science professors learn after the experiment
A．They should change the way they teach.
B．A poem could be explained in clear definitions.
C．A poetry class could be more informative.
D．Their teaching was an enjoyable experience.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“...all of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.” 可知，科学教授们学到他们应该改变教学的方式。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Writing poetry can seem frightening, especially if you do not feel you are naturally creative. But with the right inspiration and approach, you can also write a poem that you can be proud to share with others in class or with your friends.
◆Pick a specific theme or idea. You can start your poem by focusing on a specific theme or idea that you find fascinating. 8 For example, you may decide to write a poem around the theme of “love and friendship”．
◆Choose a poetic form. Get your creative juices flowing by picking a form for your poem. There are many different poetic forms that you can use, from free verse to sonnet to rhyming couplet. 9 Choose one poetic form and stick to that structure so your poem feels cohesive to your reader.
◆Use concrete imagery. 10 You should always try to describe something using the five senses: smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound. Using concrete imagery will immerse (使沉浸在) your reader in the world of your poem and make images come alive for them.
◆ 11 Literary devices like metaphor and simile add variety and depth to your poetry. Using these devices can make your poem stand out to your readers. Try to use literary devices throughout your poem, varying them so you do not use only metaphors or only similes in your writing.
◆Read the poem out loud. Once you have completed a draft of the poem，you should read it aloud to yourself. 12 Pay attention to how each line of your poem flows into the next. Keep a pen close by so you can mark any lines or words that sound awkward or jumbled.
A．Include literary devices.
B．Notice how the words sound on the page.
C．This can give your poem a clear goal or objective.
D．You may go for a poetic form that you find easy to use.
E．Decide poems written in different language you are interested in.
F．Avoid abstract imagery and go for concrete descriptions in your poem.
G．You can also share your poem with other poets to get feedback from them.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了写诗的几个方法。
8．选C 根据本段的小标题和空前句可知，本段建议要选择一个特定的主题或想法。C选项中的This就是指代前文的“选定主题”这一方法，而后文“For example, you may decide to write a poem ...”举例表明给诗歌选定主题是为了明确目标。故选C。
9．选D 根据小标题和前后文可知，本句是对诗歌形式的选择进行建议，D选项“你可能会选择一种容易使用的诗歌形式”与本段主旨一致，其中“a poetic form”对应后文中“one poetic form”。故选D。
10．选F 根据小标题以及后文可知，本段的主旨是诗歌的描述要具体，F选项中“concrete descriptions”对应小标题以及后文中“concrete imagery”，前后语义一致，故选F。
11．选A 空格处是本段的小标题，由空后内容可知，本段主要讲的是写诗的时候要用文学手法，故选A。
12．选B 后文提到标记听起来别扭的地方，即注意单词的发音，B选项中“sound”对应后文中“sound”，说明了要注意单词的发音，故选B。UNIT 5 课时检测(一) “Reading and Thinking”的课文习读环节

This was no ordinary class.The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University.They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment：“an interesting week of poetry”．This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many non science students What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field
The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes.They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers.All students noticed one thing — the importance of spoken words.In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard.But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked.They didn't write anything on the board.
The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry.In both subjects, students need to find layers of meaning.Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult.This search for different levels of meaning doesn't happen much in undergraduate science classes, but it is important later, in a graduate school.And it is always important in humanities (人文学科)．
Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience.One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful, clear definitions when he explains a poem.He also plans to be more informative as he teaches.Most of the scientists agreed on several points.Firstly, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important.Secondly, the poetry class was fun.One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”
But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: all of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.
4．What do we know about this unusual class
A．The teachers did lots of writing on the board.
B．The teachers were invited to attend several lectures.
C．The students were professors from a university.
D．The students were studying science and humanities.
5．The experiment was designed to find out ________.
A．how to teach the students in the science class
B．whether poetry is difficult for science students
C．what to be taught in the humanities class
D．why many humanities students find science hard
6．Finding levels of meaning is ________.
A．important for graduate students in humanities
B．difficult for graduate students in humanities
C．common for undergraduate students in science
D．easy for undergraduate students in science
7．What did the science professors learn after the experiment
A．They should change the way they teach.
B．A poem could be explained in clear definitions.
C．A poetry class could be more informative.
D．Their teaching was an enjoyable experience.

Writing poetry can seem frightening, especially if you do not feel you are naturally creative. But with the right inspiration and approach, you can also write a poem that you can be proud to share with others in class or with your friends.
◆Pick a specific theme or idea. You can start your poem by focusing on a specific theme or idea that you find fascinating. __8__ For example, you may decide to write a poem around the theme of “love and friendship”．
◆Choose a poetic form. Get your creative juices flowing by picking a form for your poem. There are many different poetic forms that you can use, from free verse to sonnet to rhyming couplet. __9__ Choose one poetic form and stick to that structure so your poem feels cohesive to your reader.
◆Use concrete imagery. __10__ You should always try to describe something using the five senses: smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound. Using concrete imagery will immerse (使沉浸在) your reader in the world of your poem and make images come alive for them.
◆__11__ Literary devices like metaphor and simile add variety and depth to your poetry. Using these devices can make your poem stand out to your readers. Try to use literary devices throughout your poem, varying them so you do not use only metaphors or only similes in your writing.
◆Read the poem out loud. Once you have completed a draft of the poem，you should read it aloud to yourself. __12__ Pay attention to how each line of your poem flows into the next. Keep a pen close by so you can mark any lines or words that sound awkward or jumbled.
A．Include literary devices.
B．Notice how the words sound on the page.
C．This can give your poem a clear goal or objective.
D．You may go for a poetic form that you find easy to use.
E．Decide poems written in different language you are interested in.
F．Avoid abstract imagery and go for concrete descriptions in your poem.
G．You can also share your poem with other poets to get feedback from them.
