二．阅读理解（共5小题）
2．No poem should be discussed or"analyzed"until it has been read aloud by someone，teachers.or students.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，finally，the most telling"interpretation"of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，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 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（提升） of life".It is"an approach to the truth of feeling"，and it"saves your life".It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
Not that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential（基本的） nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room at class for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
（1）To have a better understanding of a poem，one should .
A．discuss it with others
B．practise reading it aloud
C．write it down in a notebook
D．analyze it by oneself
（2）What does the underlined sentence imply？
A．More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
C．One cannot enjoy life fully without learning poetry and literature.
D．Poetry is more important than any other subject taught at school.
（3）According to the passage，the writer believes that .
A．reading a poem aloud is making preparations for discussion
B．hearing a poem read by the poet himself or herself is unbelievable
C．the analysis of a poem should be placed second to reading it aloud
D．there must be a space for students to discuss poetry in the classroom
3．A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luck Mickelson in his tracks.In 2012，he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed，one bed on top of the other，after learning there were local children who slept on the floor.Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community，Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace，a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho，Mickelson，now 41，had a thriving career.He coached his kids' sports teams and fished in the nearby river.But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor，his peaceful life changed course.
Using safety guidelines and his daughter's bunk bed as a model，Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money.He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays.As the word spread，interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded﹣along with Mickelson's bunk bed output. "That first project，we built 11 bunk beds in my garage，" he said. "The next year，we did 15.Then it doubled every year.we built 612 bunk beds."
With the motto "No kid sleeps on the floor in our town"，the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1，500 free beds to children across America.But along with the rapid growth，Mickelson was faced with a tough choice：advancing his career or his nonprofit.He chose the latter and went from making "great money to zero money".He's never looked back. "I found that the need I have isn't financial，" he said. "The need I have is seeing the joy on kids' faces，knowing that I can make a difference."
（1）Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace？
A．To get more donations.

D．To donate beds to kids in need.

（3）How did other people react to Mickelson's project？
A．They showed little interest in it.
B．They were supportive and involved in it.
C．They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.
D．They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.
（4）What is Mickelson's attitude to the nonprofit？
A．Ambiguous.
B．Defensive.
C．Positive.
D．Cautious.
4．Amanda Gorman，then 19，was named the first National Youth Poet Laureate.She spoke with TFK's Brian McGrath about poetry in her life.
Has poetry always been a part of your life？
I began writing songs when I was 5.When I got to middle school，I said to myself， "Amanda，you can't sing at all." But it seemed that the songs I was writing were actually poems.I began changing from music to poetry and spoken word.
What has poetry done for you？
Poetry allows me to choose my own voice.I have spent a lot of time writing prose（散文）stories.But they never felt like my own voice unless they played with rhythm（韵律），and connected different types of images the way my poems do.Often when I read my prose out loud，someone would say，"You know，that was a great poem."
How did you start out as a youth leader？
My mom is an English teacher.She is very enthusiastic about what poetry can do in the classroom.She'd bring me into her classroom to lead poetry workshops（讲习班）.That's how I developed my skills in teaching.
How did this work grow？
When I was 16，I started an organization called One Pen One Page.The website is a place where students from around the world can tell their stories.And we help schools across the country teach poetry workshops.Every year，we hold a Write On!symposium（研讨会），which is all about using rhythm and the spoken word to effect social change within the community.
Have you found kids to be enthusiastic poets？
Kids bring a new type of energy to poetry.They want to write about anything under the sun.And they come to poetry without limitations about what it can be.
（1）In what way did poetry help Gorman？

5．Very little is known of Emily Elizabeth Dickinson as the American poet always kept to herself and lived a life of solitude （隐居）.She was born on 10th December，1830 at Amherst，Massachusetts to Edward and Emily Norcross Dickinson.She had an older brother，Austin，and younger sister named Lavinia.
From 1834—1847，Emily Dickinson studied at the Amherst Academy，an academic institution that was co﹣founded by her grandfather，Samuel Fowler Dickinson.In 1847，she studied at the Hadley Female Seminary （now known as Mount Holyoke College） but returned to Amherst only after a year，and began her own unique life.After returning from the Seminary，Emily withdrew from all social contact and refused to entertain guests.She chose to dress herself only in white and spent most of her time inside her room.She started writing poems at around this time.Her initial forays（最初的尝试） were conventional（有争议的） but later on，she experimented until she developed her own unique style.
The 1860s contributed greatly to Emily Dickinson's writing style and content.The US Civil War broke out in 1861；her closest friends Samuel Bowles moved to Europe for health reasons，and Charles Wadsworth was relocated to San Francisco.In addition，she also had a persistent eye trouble.Although these years were very troublesome for Dickinson，this could also be considered as the most productive period of her life.During this time，Emily Dickinson wrote around 800 poems.
Emily Dickinson never married and died on May 15，1886.Her poems were published by her sister，Lavinia in 1886.During her life，only seven poems were published，but Emily Dickinson has penned almost 2，000 poems.
（1）Why don't people know much about Emily？

（2）What happened to Emily is 1848？
A．She studied at the Amherst Academy.
B．She went to the Hadley Female Seminary.
C．She felt lonely and returned to Amherst.
D．She began her life of solitude.
（3）What can we infer from the third paragraph？
A．Emily's writing was disturbed by the US Civil War.
B．Two of her closest friends deserted her in 1861.
C．Charles Wadsworth once lived in San Francisco.
D．Emily developed her own unique style.
（4）When were most of Emily's poems published？
A．After her death in 1886.
B．During the US Civil War.
C．During her university time.

6．I began writing poems fifteen years ago while I was in college.One day I was in the library，working on a term paper，when I came across a book of contemporary poetry.I don't remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one：Frankenstein's Daughter.The poem was wild，almost rude，and nothing like the rhyme﹣and﹣meter poetry I had read in high school.I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach，but that library book contained direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs，junked cars，rundown houses.I checked the book out，curious to read more.
Soon afterward，I started filling a notebook with my own poems.At first，I was scared，partly because my poetry teacher was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems.Also，I realized the seriousness of my devotion.I gave up geography to study poetry，which many friends said offered no future.I ignored them because I liked working with words，using them to reconstruct the past，which has always been a source of poetry for me.
When I first studied poetry，I was single﹣minded，I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry.I memorized poems，read about English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems.and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my work.
But I was most taken by the Spanish and Latin American poets，particularly Pablo Neruda.My favorites of his were the odes（颂诗，颂歌），short﹣lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes，socks and scissors.I felt joyful when I read these odes，and when I began to write my own poems，I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood—dogs，alleys（小巷），my baseball mitt（手套） and the fruit of the valley，especially the orange.I wanted to give these things life，to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.Later I with my family went back to my hometown，a small town in the San Joaquin Valley.You might think it hard to believe，but the observations and images of nature there literally brought me inspiration.Since then，I never stopped writing poems.
（1）From the first paragraph，we can learn that .
A．Frankenstein's Daughter was about wildness in nature.
B．Frankenstein's Daughter helped the author to write poems
C．the author began to get in contact with poetry of different styles
D．the author was curious to read more of flowery and unusual poetry
（2）What does the underlined word"literally"mean in the last paragraph？
A．Theoretically.
B．Excitedly.
C．Hardly.
D．Really.
（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A．Giving up geography to poetry is an abrupt decision for the author.
B．The author loved to find sources of poetry from nature and from the past.
C．The author became devoted to poetry because of his teacher's seriousness.
D．Spanish and Latin American poems influenced the author as much as Chinese poems.
（4）What does the passage mainly talk about？
A．The author's experiences with poetry.
B．The author's talent in writing poetry.
C．The author's application of poetry.
D．The author's interest in studying poetry.
三．信息匹配（共1小题）
7．Do you know how to analyze a poem？Look at the following steps and you will know more about it.Read the poem aloud many times.Reading a poem aloud is necessary for analysis.It's important to read a poem many times before attempting to dig for its deeper meanings.Pay close attention to the rhythm and punctuation of the poem，and the stressed and unstressed syllables，for these are intentional decisions made by the poet.Make note of anything that stands out from your readings of the poem，such as word choices，characters in the poem，and the rhyme scheme. （1）
Review the title.The title often contains important clues for understanding the piece.After reading the poem，reflect on the title and determine how or if it relates to your understanding of the work，（2） Does it illustrate a specific time，place or action？
Identify the speaker.It's important not to confuse the poet with the"speaker"of the poem.（3） The speaker will not always reveal a name，but using context clues you can determine the persona（象），point of view，and the audience the speaker is addressing.
Consider the mood and tone.Once you've identified the speaker，you'll have more insight into the attitude or mood of the poem.Consider the speaker's tone and delivery.For instance，does the speaker's voice change throughout the piece？Is the voice active or passive？（4） This is also a good time to look up any words or phrases that may have caused some initial confusion.The poet's syntax（句法） and vocabulary are all deliberate choices.
（5） There are hundreds of poetic devices or techniques writers employ to enhance the effects of their work.Poetic devices are tools that can create rhythm，enhance a poem's meaning，or intensify a mood or feeling.While you do not need to include every device in your analysis，it's a good idea to include the significant techniques that contribute to the overall meaning of the poem，for example metaphor and simile.
A.Distinguish poetic devices. B.Highlight the use of poetic devices. C.Remember to highlight any unfamiliar words or phrases. D.Are they speaking directly to the reader or to another character？ E.Does it tell you anything about the poem's subject，tone or form？ F.More often than not，the speaker is a character，just like in a novel or a play. G.Obviously，a speaker who takes the place of a poet to present his idea is vital.

15．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事．
Standing in front of the mirror one day，I came to the disturbing realization that I fell short of the requirements of my dream．The reflection that stared back was of a skinny brown﹣haired girl who stood a mere five feet tall．My entire life had been about dedication and trying to be the best dancer in my studio．I'd always had brilliant dreams and high ambitions．I never noticed how hard it might be to achieve something that you really wanted．Most people spend their whole lives searching for their calling，but I've known that I was born to be a dancer since I met my brilliant inspiring mentor，Lorie Bernier，5 feet 1 inch．I've devoted sixteen years to helping my dream come true to be a lifelong dance teacher at my studio．
Last summer I attended an audition class in Boston taught by a highly respected Broadway dancer．At this seminar he explained the procedures for getting into a dance company．While listening and taking notes，I was thinking that I certainly had the experience，but there was one area where I didn't quite measure up．He informed us that at most auditions all dancers under 5 feet 6 inches are automatically eliminated or simply overlooked．He said that most casting directors were looking for the stereotyped dancer with long legs，a long neck and a size one waist．Standing half a foot under this height，I felt my heart drop to the floor．
It is really hard to listen to someone basically telling you，"Sorry，but you've been working really hard for sixteen years for nothing，so find a new dream．" Unfortunately，it just doesn't work that day．Dancing isn't just a hobby for me；it's more like an addiction．I exhibit every step heart and soul．Through dance I find a sense of pride and satisfaction that I don't think anyone could understand or appreciate．To have all that I've ever wanted instantly shot down created a sick feeling in my stomach．

1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

二．阅读理解（共5小题）
2．No poem should be discussed or"analyzed"until it has been read aloud by someone，teachers.or students.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，finally，the most telling"interpretation"of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，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 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（提升） of life".It is"an approach to the truth of feeling"，and it"saves your life".It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
Not that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential（基本的） nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room at class for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
（1）To have a better understanding of a poem，one should B .
A．discuss it with others
B．practise reading it aloud
C．write it down in a notebook
D．analyze it by oneself
（2）What does the underlined sentence imply？ A
A．More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
C．One cannot enjoy life fully without learning poetry and literature.
D．Poetry is more important than any other subject taught at school.
（3）According to the passage，the writer believes that C .
A．reading a poem aloud is making preparations for discussion
B．hearing a poem read by the poet himself or herself is unbelievable
C．the analysis of a poem should be placed second to reading it aloud
D．there must be a space for students to discuss poetry in the classroom

（3）C.推理判断题。根据第三段 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.（事实上，我开始认为，如果没有时间读一首诗，那么花在大声朗读一首诗上的时间要比"分析"一首诗重要得多。）可知，作者认为分析诗歌仅次于朗读诗歌。故选C。

6．I began writing poems fifteen years ago while I was in college.One day I was in the library，working on a term paper，when I came across a book of contemporary poetry.I don't remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one：Frankenstein's Daughter.The poem was wild，almost rude，and nothing like the rhyme﹣and﹣meter poetry I had read in high school.I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach，but that library book contained direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs，junked cars，rundown houses.I checked the book out，curious to read more.
Soon afterward，I started filling a notebook with my own poems.At first，I was scared，partly because my poetry teacher was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems.Also，I realized the seriousness of my devotion.I gave up geography to study poetry，which many friends said offered no future.I ignored them because I liked working with words，using them to reconstruct the past，which has always been a source of poetry for me.
When I first studied poetry，I was single﹣minded，I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry.I memorized poems，read about English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems.and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my work.
But I was most taken by the Spanish and Latin American poets，particularly Pablo Neruda.My favorites of his were the odes（颂诗，颂歌），short﹣lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes，socks and scissors.I felt joyful when I read these odes，and when I began to write my own poems，I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood—dogs，alleys（小巷），my baseball mitt（手套） and the fruit of the valley，especially the orange.I wanted to give these things life，to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.Later I with my family went back to my hometown，a small town in the San Joaquin Valley.You might think it hard to believe，but the observations and images of nature there literally brought me inspiration.Since then，I never stopped writing poems.
（1）From the first paragraph，we can learn that C .
A．Frankenstein's Daughter was about wildness in nature.
B．Frankenstein's Daughter helped the author to write poems
C．the author began to get in contact with poetry of different styles
D．the author was curious to read more of flowery and unusual poetry
（2）What does the underlined word"literally"mean in the last paragraph？ D

B．The author loved to find sources of poetry from nature and from the past.
C．The author became devoted to poetry because of his teacher's seriousness.

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者从第一段中在图书馆看到一本新的诗歌引入话题，详细介绍了自己学习诗歌的经历以及自己所喜欢的一些诗人和诗歌。
【解答】（1）C.推理判断题。根据第一段第四句The poem was wild，almost rude，and nothing like the rhyme﹣and﹣meter poetry I had read in high school.（这首诗很狂野，几乎是粗鲁的，一点也不像我在高中读过的押韵和韵律的诗。）可知，作者在高中所学的诗歌形式与图书馆中所接触的这首诗歌差别很大，属于完全不同的诗歌类型。说明作者开始接触不同类型的诗歌了。故选C。
（2）D.词义猜测题。根据最后一段中You might think it hard to believe，but the observations and images of nature there literally brought me inspiration.（你可能觉得难以置信，但那里对自然的观察和图像确实给我带来了灵感。）的hard to believe"难以置信"可知，划线部分单词的意思与之对应，意思是"确实地，真正地"。A.Theoretically理论地；B.Excitedly激动地；C.Hardly几乎不；D.Really确实地。故选D。
（3）B.细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句I ignored them because I liked working with words，using them to reconstruct the past，which has always been a source of poetry for me.（我忽略了它们，因为我喜欢与文字打交道，用它们来重建过去，这一直是我诗歌的源泉。）可知，作者经常从过去的事情里寻找诗歌创作的源泉；结合最后一段My favorites of his were the odes，short﹣lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes，socks and scissors.I felt joyful when I read these odes，and when I began to write my own poems，I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood—dogs，alleys，my baseball mitt and the fruit of the valley，especially the orange.I wanted to give these things life，to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.（在他的作品中，我最喜欢的是那些赞美常见事物的诗歌，比如西红柿、袜子和剪刀。当我读到这些诗歌时，我感到很高兴，当我开始写自己的诗歌时，我试图忠实于我童年的普通事物——狗、小巷、棒球手套和山谷里的水果，尤其是橘子。我想赋予这些东西生命，我想把它们写得很好，使我的诗歌能表达它们的美）可知，大自然也是作者诗歌的源泉之一。所以B选项The author loved to find sources of poetry from nature and from the past（作者喜欢从自然和过去中寻找诗歌的来源）表达符合原文意思。故选B。
（4）A.主旨大意题。本文是一篇记叙文，作者从第一段中在图书馆看到一本新的诗歌引入话题，详细介绍了自己学习诗歌的经历以及自己所喜欢的一些诗人和诗歌。A选项The author's experiences with poetry（作者的诗歌经历）体现了本文的中心大意。故选A。

二．阅读理解（共5小题）
2．No poem should be discussed or"analyzed"until it has been read aloud by someone，teachers.or students.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，finally，the most telling"interpretation"of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，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 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（提升） of life".It is"an approach to the truth of feeling"，and it"saves your life".It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
Not that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential（基本的） nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room at class for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
（1）To have a better understanding of a poem，one should .
A．discuss it with others
B．practise reading it aloud
C．write it down in a notebook
D．analyze it by oneself
（2）What does the underlined sentence imply？
A．More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
C．One cannot enjoy life fully without learning poetry and literature.
D．Poetry is more important than any other subject taught at school.
（3）According to the passage，the writer believes that .
A．reading a poem aloud is making preparations for discussion
B．hearing a poem read by the poet himself or herself is unbelievable
C．the analysis of a poem should be placed second to reading it aloud
D．there must be a space for students to discuss poetry in the classroom
3．A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luck Mickelson in his tracks.In 2012，he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed，one bed on top of the other，after learning there were local children who slept on the floor.Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community，Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace，a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho，Mickelson，now 41，had a thriving career.He coached his kids' sports teams and fished in the nearby river.But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor，his peaceful life changed course.
Using safety guidelines and his daughter's bunk bed as a model，Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money.He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays.As the word spread，interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded﹣along with Mickelson's bunk bed output. "That first project，we built 11 bunk beds in my garage，" he said. "The next year，we did 15.Then it doubled every year.we built 612 bunk beds."
With the motto "No kid sleeps on the floor in our town"，the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1，500 free beds to children across America.But along with the rapid growth，Mickelson was faced with a tough choice：advancing his career or his nonprofit.He chose the latter and went from making "great money to zero money".He's never looked back. "I found that the need I have isn't financial，" he said. "The need I have is seeing the joy on kids' faces，knowing that I can make a difference."
（1）Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace？
A．To get more donations.
B．To make a big fortune.
C．To inspire his community.
D．To donate beds to kids in need.

（3）How did other people react to Mickelson's project？
A．They showed little interest in it.
B．They were supportive and involved in it.
C．They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.
D．They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.
（4）What is Mickelson's attitude to the nonprofit？
A．Ambiguous.
B．Defensive.
C．Positive.
D．Cautious.
4．Amanda Gorman，then 19，was named the first National Youth Poet Laureate.She spoke with TFK's Brian McGrath about poetry in her life.
Has poetry always been a part of your life？
I began writing songs when I was 5.When I got to middle school，I said to myself， "Amanda，you can't sing at all." But it seemed that the songs I was writing were actually poems.I began changing from music to poetry and spoken word.
What has poetry done for you？
Poetry allows me to choose my own voice.I have spent a lot of time writing prose（散文）stories.But they never felt like my own voice unless they played with rhythm（韵律），and connected different types of images the way my poems do.Often when I read my prose out loud，someone would say，"You know，that was a great poem."
How did you start out as a youth leader？
My mom is an English teacher.She is very enthusiastic about what poetry can do in the classroom.She'd bring me into her classroom to lead poetry workshops（讲习班）.That's how I developed my skills in teaching.
How did this work grow？
When I was 16，I started an organization called One Pen One Page.The website is a place where students from around the world can tell their stories.And we help schools across the country teach poetry workshops.Every year，we hold a Write On!symposium（研讨会），which is all about using rhythm and the spoken word to effect social change within the community.
Have you found kids to be enthusiastic poets？
Kids bring a new type of energy to poetry.They want to write about anything under the sun.And they come to poetry without limitations about what it can be.
（1）In what way did poetry help Gorman？

5．Very little is known of Emily Elizabeth Dickinson as the American poet always kept to herself and lived a life of solitude （隐居）.She was born on 10th December，1830 at Amherst，Massachusetts to Edward and Emily Norcross Dickinson.She had an older brother，Austin，and younger sister named Lavinia.
From 1834—1847，Emily Dickinson studied at the Amherst Academy，an academic institution that was co﹣founded by her grandfather，Samuel Fowler Dickinson.In 1847，she studied at the Hadley Female Seminary （now known as Mount Holyoke College） but returned to Amherst only after a year，and began her own unique life.After returning from the Seminary，Emily withdrew from all social contact and refused to entertain guests.She chose to dress herself only in white and spent most of her time inside her room.She started writing poems at around this time.Her initial forays（最初的尝试） were conventional（有争议的） but later on，she experimented until she developed her own unique style.
The 1860s contributed greatly to Emily Dickinson's writing style and content.The US Civil War broke out in 1861；her closest friends Samuel Bowles moved to Europe for health reasons，and Charles Wadsworth was relocated to San Francisco.In addition，she also had a persistent eye trouble.Although these years were very troublesome for Dickinson，this could also be considered as the most productive period of her life.During this time，Emily Dickinson wrote around 800 poems.
Emily Dickinson never married and died on May 15，1886.Her poems were published by her sister，Lavinia in 1886.During her life，only seven poems were published，but Emily Dickinson has penned almost 2，000 poems.

6．I began writing poems fifteen years ago while I was in college.One day I was in the library，working on a term paper，when I came across a book of contemporary poetry.I don't remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one：Frankenstein's Daughter.The poem was wild，almost rude，and nothing like the rhyme﹣and﹣meter poetry I had read in high school.I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach，but that library book contained direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs，junked cars，rundown houses.I checked the book out，curious to read more.
Soon afterward，I started filling a notebook with my own poems.At first，I was scared，partly because my poetry teacher was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems.Also，I realized the seriousness of my devotion.I gave up geography to study poetry，which many friends said offered no future.I ignored them because I liked working with words，using them to reconstruct the past，which has always been a source of poetry for me.
When I first studied poetry，I was single﹣minded，I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry.I memorized poems，read about English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems.and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my work.
But I was most taken by the Spanish and Latin American poets，particularly Pablo Neruda.My favorites of his were the odes（颂诗，颂歌），short﹣lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes，socks and scissors.I felt joyful when I read these odes，and when I began to write my own poems，I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood—dogs，alleys（小巷），my baseball mitt（手套） and the fruit of the valley，especially the orange.I wanted to give these things life，to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.Later I with my family went back to my hometown，a small town in the San Joaquin Valley.You might think it hard to believe，but the observations and images of nature there literally brought me inspiration.Since then，I never stopped writing poems.
（1）From the first paragraph，we can learn that .
A．Frankenstein's Daughter was about wildness in nature.
B．Frankenstein's Daughter helped the author to write poems
C．the author began to get in contact with poetry of different styles
D．the author was curious to read more of flowery and unusual poetry
（2）What does the underlined word"literally"mean in the last paragraph？
A．Theoretically.
B．Excitedly.
C．Hardly.
D．Really.
（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A．Giving up geography to poetry is an abrupt decision for the author.
B．The author loved to find sources of poetry from nature and from the past.
C．The author became devoted to poetry because of his teacher's seriousness.
D．Spanish and Latin American poems influenced the author as much as Chinese poems.

B．The author's talent in writing poetry.
C．The author's application of poetry.
D．The author's interest in studying poetry.
三．信息匹配（共1小题）
7．Do you know how to analyze a poem？Look at the following steps and you will know more about it.Read the poem aloud many times.Reading a poem aloud is necessary for analysis.It's important to read a poem many times before attempting to dig for its deeper meanings.Pay close attention to the rhythm and punctuation of the poem，and the stressed and unstressed syllables，for these are intentional decisions made by the poet.Make note of anything that stands out from your readings of the poem，such as word choices，characters in the poem，and the rhyme scheme. （1）
Review the title.The title often contains important clues for understanding the piece.After reading the poem，reflect on the title and determine how or if it relates to your understanding of the work，（2） Does it illustrate a specific time，place or action？
Identify the speaker.It's important not to confuse the poet with the"speaker"of the poem.（3） The speaker will not always reveal a name，but using context clues you can determine the persona（象），point of view，and the audience the speaker is addressing.
Consider the mood and tone.Once you've identified the speaker，you'll have more insight into the attitude or mood of the poem.Consider the speaker's tone and delivery.For instance，does the speaker's voice change throughout the piece？Is the voice active or passive？（4） This is also a good time to look up any words or phrases that may have caused some initial confusion.The poet's syntax（句法） and vocabulary are all deliberate choices.
（5） There are hundreds of poetic devices or techniques writers employ to enhance the effects of their work.Poetic devices are tools that can create rhythm，enhance a poem's meaning，or intensify a mood or feeling.While you do not need to include every device in your analysis，it's a good idea to include the significant techniques that contribute to the overall meaning of the poem，for example metaphor and simile.
A.Distinguish poetic devices. B.Highlight the use of poetic devices. C.Remember to highlight any unfamiliar words or phrases. D.Are they speaking directly to the reader or to another character？ E.Does it tell you anything about the poem's subject，tone or form？ F.More often than not，the speaker is a character，just like in a novel or a play. G.Obviously，a speaker who takes the place of a poet to present his idea is vital.

15．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事．
Standing in front of the mirror one day，I came to the disturbing realization that I fell short of the requirements of my dream．The reflection that stared back was of a skinny brown﹣haired girl who stood a mere five feet tall．My entire life had been about dedication and trying to be the best dancer in my studio．I'd always had brilliant dreams and high ambitions．I never noticed how hard it might be to achieve something that you really wanted．Most people spend their whole lives searching for their calling，but I've known that I was born to be a dancer since I met my brilliant inspiring mentor，Lorie Bernier，5 feet 1 inch．I've devoted sixteen years to helping my dream come true to be a lifelong dance teacher at my studio．
Last summer I attended an audition class in Boston taught by a highly respected Broadway dancer．At this seminar he explained the procedures for getting into a dance company．While listening and taking notes，I was thinking that I certainly had the experience，but there was one area where I didn't quite measure up．He informed us that at most auditions all dancers under 5 feet 6 inches are automatically eliminated or simply overlooked．He said that most casting directors were looking for the stereotyped dancer with long legs，a long neck and a size one waist．Standing half a foot under this height，I felt my heart drop to the floor．
It is really hard to listen to someone basically telling you，"Sorry，but you've been working really hard for sixteen years for nothing，so find a new dream．" Unfortunately，it just doesn't work that day．Dancing isn't just a hobby for me；it's more like an addiction．I exhibit every step heart and soul．Through dance I find a sense of pride and satisfaction that I don't think anyone could understand or appreciate．To have all that I've ever wanted instantly shot down created a sick feeling in my stomach．

二．阅读理解（共5小题）
2．No poem should be discussed or"analyzed"until it has been read aloud by someone，teachers.or students.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，finally，the most telling"interpretation"of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，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 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（提升） of life".It is"an approach to the truth of feeling"，and it"saves your life".It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
Not that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential（基本的） nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room at class for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
（1）To have a better understanding of a poem，one should B .
A．discuss it with others
B．practise reading it aloud
C．write it down in a notebook
D．analyze it by oneself
（2）What does the underlined sentence imply？ A
A．More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
C．One cannot enjoy life fully without learning poetry and literature.
D．Poetry is more important than any other subject taught at school.
（3）According to the passage，the writer believes that C .
A．reading a poem aloud is making preparations for discussion
B．hearing a poem read by the poet himself or herself is unbelievable
C．the analysis of a poem should be placed second to reading it aloud
D．there must be a space for students to discuss poetry in the classroom
【答案】BAC
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。作者认为诗歌在教学里应该占据更大的比重，只有当老师学生大声朗读诗歌的时候，诗歌才会被人们理解。作者建议在课堂教学中要留更多的时间进行诗歌教学。
【解答】（1）B.细节理解题。根据第二段中All discussions of poetry are，in fact，preparations for reading it aloud，and the reading of the poem is，eventually，the most concrete"interpretation"of it，suggesting tone，rhymes，and meaning all at once.（事实上，所有关于诗歌的讨论都是为大声朗读诗歌做准备，而诗歌的阅读最终是对诗歌最具体的"解读"，同时暗示了音调、韵律和意义）可知，作者认为如果我们要更好的理解诗歌，就要大声朗诵诗歌。故选B。
（2）A.句意理解题。根据第三段It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.（它在语言和文学教学中也应占有比目前更重要的地位。）可知，这句话的意思是：应该更加重视诗歌教学。故选A。
（3）C.推理判断题。根据第三段 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.（事实上，我开始认为，如果没有时间读一首诗，那么花在大声朗读一首诗上的时间要比"分析"一首诗重要得多。）可知，作者认为分析诗歌仅次于朗读诗歌。故选C。

3．A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luck Mickelson in his tracks.In 2012，he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed，one bed on top of the other，after learning there were local children who slept on the floor.Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community，Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace，a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.

"That first project，we built 11 bunk beds in my garage，" he said. "The next year，we did 15.Then it doubled every year.we built 612 bunk beds."
With the motto "No kid sleeps on the floor in our town"，the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1，500 free beds to children across America.But along with the rapid growth，Mickelson was faced with a tough choice：advancing his career or his nonprofit.He chose the latter and went from making "great money to zero money".He's never looked back. "I found that the need I have isn't financial，" he said. "The need I have is seeing the joy on kids' faces，knowing that I can make a difference."

From 1834—1847，Emily Dickinson studied at the Amherst Academy，an academic institution that was co﹣founded by her grandfather，Samuel Fowler Dickinson.In 1847，she studied at the Hadley Female Seminary （now known as Mount Holyoke College） but returned to Amherst only after a year，and began her own unique life.After returning from the Seminary，Emily withdrew from all social contact and refused to entertain guests.She chose to dress herself only in white and spent most of her time inside her room.She started writing poems at around this time.Her initial forays（最初的尝试） were conventional（有争议的） but later on，she experimented until she developed her own unique style.
The 1860s contributed greatly to Emily Dickinson's writing style and content.The US Civil War broke out in 1861；her closest friends Samuel Bowles moved to Europe for health reasons，and Charles Wadsworth was relocated to San Francisco.In addition，she also had a persistent eye trouble.Although these years were very troublesome for Dickinson，this could also be considered as the most productive period of her life.During this time，Emily Dickinson wrote around 800 poems.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。艾米莉 狄金森是美国传奇诗人，青少年时代生活单调而平静，受正规的教育。从25岁开始弃绝社交闭门不出，在孤独中埋头写诗三十年，留下诗稿2000余首；生前只是发表过七首，其余的都是她死后才出版。
【解答】（1）B.推理判断题。根据第一段"Very little is known of Emily Elizabeth Dickinson as the American poet always kept to herself and lived a life of solitude （隐居）.（艾米丽 伊丽莎白 狄金森是一位美国诗人，她一直独处，过着孤独的生活。）"可知人们对艾米丽了解不多是因为她不喜欢公开露面。故选B。
（2）D.推理判断题。根据第二段第二句" In 1847，she studied at the Hadley Female Seminary （now known as Mount Holyoke College）but returned to Amherst only after a year，and began her own unique life."（1847年，她就读于哈德利女子神学院（即现在的曼荷莲学院） ，但只过了一年就回到阿默斯特学院，开始了她独特的生活。） 可知，1848年她开始了她独特的生活。根据第一段第一句"Verylttle is known of Emily Elizabeth Dickinson as the American poet always kept to herself and lived a life ofsolitude（隐居）. " （人们对艾米莉伊丽莎白狄金森的了解很少，因为这位美国诗人总是孤僻，过着孤独的生活。） 可知，她独特的生活就是指隐居。所以1 848年她开始了隐居生活。故选D。
（3）C.推理判断题。根据第三段第二句中的"Charles Wadsworth was relocated to San Francisco" （查尔斯沃兹沃斯移居到了旧金山）可知，查尔斯沃兹沃斯曾经住在旧金山。故选C。
（4）A.细节理解题。根据最后一段Emily Dickinson never married and died on May 15，1886.Her poems were published by her sister，Lavinia in 1886.During her life，only seven poems were published，but Emily Dickinson has penned almost 2，000 poems." （艾米莉狄金森终身未婚，于1886年5月15日辞世。她的诗由她的姐姐拉维尼娅于1886年出版。艾米莉狄金森一生只发表过7首诗，但她却写了近2000首诗。） 可知艾米莉的大部分诗是在1886年她去世后发表的。故选A。

6．I began writing poems fifteen years ago while I was in college.One day I was in the library，working on a term paper，when I came across a book of contemporary poetry.I don't remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one：Frankenstein's Daughter.The poem was wild，almost rude，and nothing like the rhyme﹣and﹣meter poetry I had read in high school.I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach，but that library book contained direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs，junked cars，rundown houses.I checked the book out，curious to read more.
Soon afterward，I started filling a notebook with my own poems.At first，I was scared，partly because my poetry teacher was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems.Also，I realized the seriousness of my devotion.I gave up geography to study poetry，which many friends said offered no future.I ignored them because I liked working with words，using them to reconstruct the past，which has always been a source of poetry for me.
When I first studied poetry，I was single﹣minded，I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry.I memorized poems，read about English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems.and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my work.
But I was most taken by the Spanish and Latin American poets，particularly Pablo Neruda.My favorites of his were the odes（颂诗，颂歌），short﹣lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes，socks and scissors.I felt joyful when I read these odes，and when I began to write my own poems，I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood—dogs，alleys（小巷），my baseball mitt（手套） and the fruit of the valley，especially the orange.I wanted to give these things life，to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.Later I with my family went back to my hometown，a small town in the San Joaquin Valley.You might think it hard to believe，but the observations and images of nature there literally brought me inspiration.Since then，I never stopped writing poems.
（1）From the first paragraph，we can learn that C .
A．Frankenstein's Daughter was about wildness in nature.
B．Frankenstein's Daughter helped the author to write poems
C．the author began to get in contact with poetry of different styles
D．the author was curious to read more of flowery and unusual poetry
（2）What does the underlined word"literally"mean in the last paragraph？ D

（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage？ B

B．The author loved to find sources of poetry from nature and from the past.
C．The author became devoted to poetry because of his teacher's seriousness.

【解答】（1）C.推理判断题。根据第一段第四句The poem was wild，almost rude，and nothing like the rhyme﹣and﹣meter poetry I had read in high school.（这首诗很狂野，几乎是粗鲁的，一点也不像我在高中读过的押韵和韵律的诗。）可知，作者在高中所学的诗歌形式与图书馆中所接触的这首诗歌差别很大，属于完全不同的诗歌类型。说明作者开始接触不同类型的诗歌了。故选C。
（2）D.词义猜测题。根据最后一段中You might think it hard to believe，but the observations and images of nature there literally brought me inspiration.（你可能觉得难以置信，但那里对自然的观察和图像确实给我带来了灵感。）的hard to believe"难以置信"可知，划线部分单词的意思与之对应，意思是"确实地，真正地"。A.Theoretically理论地；B.Excitedly激动地；C.Hardly几乎不；D.Really确实地。故选D。
（3）B.细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句I ignored them because I liked working with words，using them to reconstruct the past，which has always been a source of poetry for me.（我忽略了它们，因为我喜欢与文字打交道，用它们来重建过去，这一直是我诗歌的源泉。）可知，作者经常从过去的事情里寻找诗歌创作的源泉；结合最后一段My favorites of his were the odes，short﹣lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes，socks and scissors.I felt joyful when I read these odes，and when I began to write my own poems，I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood—dogs，alleys，my baseball mitt and the fruit of the valley，especially the orange.I wanted to give these things life，to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.（在他的作品中，我最喜欢的是那些赞美常见事物的诗歌，比如西红柿、袜子和剪刀。当我读到这些诗歌时，我感到很高兴，当我开始写自己的诗歌时，我试图忠实于我童年的普通事物——狗、小巷、棒球手套和山谷里的水果，尤其是橘子。我想赋予这些东西生命，我想把它们写得很好，使我的诗歌能表达它们的美）可知，大自然也是作者诗歌的源泉之一。所以B选项The author loved to find sources of poetry from nature and from the past（作者喜欢从自然和过去中寻找诗歌的来源）表达符合原文意思。故选B。
（4）A.主旨大意题。本文是一篇记叙文，作者从第一段中在图书馆看到一本新的诗歌引入话题，详细介绍了自己学习诗歌的经历以及自己所喜欢的一些诗人和诗歌。A选项The author's experiences with poetry（作者的诗歌经历）体现了本文的中心大意。故选A。
【点评】阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。
