Step 1｜品教材课文
WIND ON THE HILL
No one can tell me，
Nobody knows，
Where the wind comes from，
Where the wind goes.
It’s flying from somewhere
As fast as it can，
I couldn’t keep up with it，
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite，
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it，
Wherever it blew，
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes ...
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.
A.A.Milne
DREAM
Hold fast to dreams，
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams，
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Langston Hughes
A MATCH
If love were what the rose is，
And I were the leaf，
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather，
Brown fields or flowerful closes，
Green pleasure or grey grief；
If love were what the rose is，
And I were like the leaf.
A.C.Swinburne
Step 2｜析写作手法
学语言
第一首诗分为五个小节，每节四行，每小节第二行与第四行押韵（knows、 goes、 can、 ran、 kite、 night、 blew、 too、 goes、 knows），属于隔行押韵模式。其中第三小节是虚拟条件句，表示对现在的虚拟，从句谓语动词用过去式，主句谓语用“would＋动词原形”。
第二首诗仅有两个小节，每节四行，也是隔行押韵模式（die、fly、go、snow）。诗人使用了暗喻的修辞手法，将没有梦想的人生比喻成“断翅的鸟”与“冰封的荒野”；在诗人看来，没有梦想的人生是没有意义的，只有抓住梦想才有明天的进步。
第三首诗的押韵模式为 abccabab。另外，诗人还使用了比喻、反复等修辞手法。
学结构
第一首诗《山上的风》是由英国编剧A.A.米尔恩创作的儿童格律诗，主要描述了大自然的风带给人的感受。
第二首诗《梦想》由美国著名诗人兰斯顿·休斯创作，主要描述了梦想的重要性。
第三首诗是英国诗人A.C.斯温伯恩创作的爱情诗《佳偶》的节选片段，主要表达了对爱情的忠诚与执着。
参考译文
山上的风
没有人能够告诉我，
也没有人会知道，
风来自哪里，
又将去往哪里。
它从一个地方吹来，
尽它所能，飞快地吹来，
我不能赶上它，
即使我奔跑。
但如果我停下来，
不再紧握我手中的风筝线，
它将被风吹跑，
一天一夜。
后来当我发现它，
它吹向任何地方，
我会知道风，
也曾经去过那里。
所以当我能告诉他们，
风去了哪里……
但是风从哪里来，
没有人知道。
——A.A.米尔恩
梦想
紧紧抓住梦想，
因为梦想若是死亡，
生命就像鸟儿折断了翅膀，
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想，
因为梦想一旦消逝，
生活变成荒芜的田野，
被冰封雪盖。
——兰斯顿·休斯
佳偶
如果爱情是玫瑰，
而我是绿叶，
我们的生命将一起成长，
无论天气阴沉还是晴朗，
处在丰饶的原野或花径，
感受绿色的欢乐或灰色的苦闷；
如果爱情是玫瑰，
而我是绿叶。
——A.C.斯温伯恩

New psychology research points to the factors that explain why we find particular poems aesthetically pleasing.“While it may seem obvious that individual taste matters in judgments of poetry， we found certain factors consistently influence how much a poem will be enjoyed.”
Aesthetics （美学）， the basis of what we find appealing or not， plays an important role in our everyday lives.However， little is known about how we make these judgments.The researchers sought to answer an age-old question — “Why do we like what we like？” — by measuring what we find aesthetically pleasing in poetry.
To do this， the team had more than 400 participants read and rate poems of two genres — haiku and sonnet — with the aim of understanding the factors that best predicted the aesthetic appeal of the poems.After reading each poem， participants answered questions about the poem’s vividness （How vivid is the imagery evoked from this poem？）， emotional arousal （How relaxing or stimulating is this poem？）， emotional valence （How positive or negative is the content of this poem？）， and aesthetic appeal （How enjoyable or aesthetically appealing did you find this poem？）.
Their results showed that vividness of mental imagery was the best predictor of aesthetic appeal — poems that evoked greater imagery were more pleasing.Emotional valence also predicted aesthetic appeal， though to a lesser extent； specifically， poems that were found to be more positive were generally found to be more appealing.By contrast， emotional arousal did not have a clear relationship to aesthetic appeal.
“The vividness of a poem consistently predicted its aesthetic appeal，” notes Starr， author of Feeling Beauty： The Neuroscience of Aesthetic Experience.“Therefore， it seems that vividness of mental imagery may be a key factor influencing what we like more broadly.” “While limited to poetry，” she adds. “our work sheds light on which facts most influence our aesthetic judgments and paves the way for future research investigating how we make such judgments in other fields.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新的心理学研究指出了为什么我们觉得某些诗歌具有审美吸引力的因素。
4.What did the researchers ask the participants to do？（ ）
A.Evaluate poems of haiku and sonnet.
B.Write the aesthetic appeal of poems.
C.Explain factors of emotional valence.
D.Ask questions about the poem’s vividness.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，研究人员要求参与者评价俳句和十四行诗。
5.Which of the following is true according to paragraph 4？（ ）
A.Poems with more negative content are more appealing.
B.Emotional arousal is negatively related to aesthetic appeal.
C.Emotional valence is the most important predictor of aesthetic appeal.
D.Vividness of mental imagery has the strongest connection with aesthetic appeal.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，心理意象的生动性与审美吸引力关联性最强。
6.What can be inferred from Starr’s words？（ ）
A.The research will help explore aesthetic judgments in other fields.
B.The finding of vividness being a key factor is only applicable to poetry.
C.Emotional valence should be further studied in the context of other art forms.
D.The research has little value for understanding aesthetic judgments in other areas.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Starr的话可以推出，这项研究将有助于探索其他领域的审美判断。
7.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage？（ ）
A.To introduce different types of poems.
B.To discuss the importance of aesthetics.
C.To show the findings of aesthetic appeal.
D.To persuade people to admire the poems.
解析：C 写作意图题。文章开篇指出新的心理学研究指出了人们觉得某些诗歌具有审美吸引力的因素，接着介绍了研究过程和研究发现，最后说明研究的意义，所以作者写本文的目的是展示关于审美吸引力的研究发现。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
A great poem can be there for you.It can help you process sadness， anger or fear.But if you haven’t strengthened your poetry muscle for a while， those feelings might be a little hard to tap into.8.（ ）
Read it out loud
Poetry is an oral art form before anything else.And a lot of information can be gained from reading poems out loud.As an exercise， try reading a poem aloud in a few different ways： like you’re savoring （细细品味） every word and every syllable ， or like you’re explaining something really difficult to someone else.9.（ ）
Visualize the poem
A poem might offer visual imagery — or may not.If not， go ahead and fill it in with your imagination.Think of the poem like a movie or a play and you’re the director.10.（ ） What kind of setting is there？ Would it be indoors or outdoors？ These brain pictures will reflect whatever you seem to be getting out of the poem.
Don’t worry about getting it
People often put pressure on themselves to crack a poem， unlock its meaning or figure out what the poet is trying to say.
Don’t do it.Instead， ask yourself some questions to get at what you think of the poem.What overall impression do you get？ 11.（ ） What do you feel？ Most of us do get these kinds of overall impressions.We are left with something.Whatever it is， trust it.
Don’t approach poetry like you’re in school
The way poetry is taught in school can be a barrier to entry.People are taught that the way to connect with a poem is by trying to understand it， master it and write an essay about it.12.（ ） So rest easy as you read a poem — there’s no quiz at the end！
A.What colors would you use？
B.What ideas float around in your mind？
C.That might help you find a common theme.
D.It may help further your understanding of the poem.
E.Be honest about your tastes and what you’re looking for.
F.That keeps us from developing personal relationships with poetry.
G.Here are some tips to help you meaningfully connect with a poem.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要提供了关于如何更有意义地与诗歌建立联系的一系列建议。
8.G 上文提到诗歌能帮助处理情感，但如果长时间没有接触诗歌，这些情感可能较难触及。接下来需要一个过渡句引入如何更好地与诗歌建立联系的方法。G项（这里有一些技巧可以帮助你与一首诗建立有意义的联系）承接上文，符合语境。
9.D 上文建议大声朗读诗歌，并列举了两种方式。这里需要一个总结性或递进性的句子，说明这样做的好处。D项（这可能有助于你进一步理解这首诗）恰当地指出了大声朗读对理解诗歌的促进作用，符合语境。
10.A 根据上下文可知，该段建议读者将诗歌想象成电影或戏剧，并作为导演去构思场景。紧接着询问设置的类型和地点，意味着本空应引导读者思考场景。A项（你会用什么颜色？）引出对场景色彩的想象，符合语境。
11.B 根据上下文可知，在讨论不必过分解读诗歌意义之后，建议自问关于诗歌的总体印象和感受。此处需要一个与“印象”相关的提问来衔接。B项（你脑子里有什么想法？）能够引导读者反思脑海中浮现的种种想法，符合语境。
12.F 上文提及学校教授诗歌的方式可能成为学习诗歌的障碍，强调了不应以理解、掌握并撰写论文为目标。接下来应指出这种传统教学方式的弊端。F项（这使我们无法与诗歌建立个人层面的联系）符合语境。
Ⅲ.完形填空

Step 1｜品教材课文
WIND ON THE HILL
No one can tell me，
Nobody knows，
Where the wind comes from，
Where the wind goes.
It’s flying from somewhere
As fast as it can，
I couldn’t keep up with it，
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite，
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it，
Wherever it blew，
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes ...
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.
A.A.Milne
DREAM
Hold fast to dreams，
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams，
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Langston Hughes
A MATCH
If love were what the rose is，
And I were the leaf，
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather，
Brown fields or flowerful closes，
Green pleasure or grey grief；
If love were what the rose is，
And I were like the leaf.
A.C.Swinburne
Step 2｜析写作手法
学语言
第一首诗分为五个小节，每节四行，每小节第二行与第四行押韵（knows、 goes、 can、 ran、 kite、 night、 blew、 too、 goes、 knows），属于隔行押韵模式。其中第三小节是虚拟条件句，表示对现在的虚拟，从句谓语动词用过去式，主句谓语用“would＋动词原形”。
第二首诗仅有两个小节，每节四行，也是隔行押韵模式（die、fly、go、snow）。诗人使用了暗喻的修辞手法，将没有梦想的人生比喻成“断翅的鸟”与“冰封的荒野”；在诗人看来，没有梦想的人生是没有意义的，只有抓住梦想才有明天的进步。
第三首诗的押韵模式为 abccabab。另外，诗人还使用了比喻、反复等修辞手法。
学结构
第一首诗《山上的风》是由英国编剧A.A.米尔恩创作的儿童格律诗，主要描述了大自然的风带给人的感受。
第二首诗《梦想》由美国著名诗人兰斯顿·休斯创作，主要描述了梦想的重要性。
第三首诗是英国诗人A.C.斯温伯恩创作的爱情诗《佳偶》的节选片段，主要表达了对爱情的忠诚与执着。
山上的风 没有人能够告诉我， 也没有人会知道， 风来自哪里， 又将去往哪里。 它从一个地方吹来， 尽它所能，飞快地吹来， 我不能赶上它， 即使我奔跑。 但如果我停下来， 不再紧握我手中的风筝线， 它将被风吹跑， 一天一夜。 后来当我发现它， 它吹向任何地方， 我会知道风， 也曾经去过那里。 所以当我能告诉他们， 风去了哪里…… 但是风从哪里来， 没有人知道。 ——A.A.米尔恩 梦想 紧紧抓住梦想， 因为梦想若是死亡， 生命就像鸟儿折断了翅膀， 再也不能飞翔。 紧紧抓住梦想， 因为梦想一旦消逝， 生活变成荒芜的田野， 被冰封雪盖。 ——兰斯顿·休斯 佳偶 如果爱情是玫瑰， 而我是绿叶， 我们的生命将一起成长， 无论天气阴沉还是晴朗， 处在丰饶的原野或花径， 感受绿色的欢乐或灰色的苦闷； 如果爱情是玫瑰， 而我是绿叶。 ——A.C.斯温伯恩
