One of the most commonly asked questions in the English language is “How are you ” and whether a person is feeling happy or sad, excited or lonely, fantastic or heartbroken they will just about always answer “Fine”. Why is this Is it because humans are not good at expressing their
emotions Maybe it is just that emotions are often too personal or too complex to be shared in a
casual conversation. However, for centuries, people have often expressed their emotions on paper, in the form of poetry.
The beauty of poetry is that the emotions the poet is trying to convey are often disguised in images so that the poet can maintain a feeling of privacy. For example, in Li Bai’s poem, “Seeing Meng Haoran Off at Yellow Crane Tower”, the poet describes the sail of his friend’s boat rules
disappearing into the distance while he watches the river rolling by. This could seem merely like the description of a beautiful scene, but by reading into the poem, you can sense the deep sadness and loneliness that his friend’s leaving has caused him.
Poetry is also written to celebrate positive human emotions like joy, love and happiness.
Throughout history, men and women have written poems to their loved ones to express their deep feelings. Poems about nature, which express the poet’s appreciation of the beauty in the world
around him or her, are also common. Sadly, many poems have also been written to express anger at the destruction of nature and reactions to horrific events like war and death.
The interesting thing about poetry is that anyone reading a poem can have their own view or feelings about it and heated discussions can often arise over what the poet was originally trying
试卷第 5 页,共 14 页
to say or express. Poetry can be interpreted in many different ways. Often, a poem that one person loves another hates. Equally, a poem that one person understands and relates to, may turn another person off.
24 .What is the purpose of questions in Para. 1
A .To introduce a topic.
B .To teach people how to start a conversation.
C .To have empathy with reader.
D .To review the commonly asked questions.
25 .What does the underlined word “disguised” in the second paragraph mean
A .seen B .described C .hidden D .disclosed
26 .According to the author, which of the following is not false
A .Humans wish they could be better at expressing their feelings.
B .Many human emotions are very hard to capture in casual conversations.
C .Human emotions are too intense and wide-ranging to be expressed by most people.
D .Poetry is the most important way to express people’s inner feelings.
27 .According to the author, what makes poetry particularly interesting
A .The difference in how different readers interpret and appreciate a poem.
B .The imagery that a poet can use to express emotions can be misunderstood by the reader.
C .The ability of the reader to clearly understand the meaning of a poem.
D .Poets’ unique description and fantastic language about poems.

Not Waving but Drowning
Stevie Smith (1902-1971)
Nobody heard him, the dead man, but still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought, and not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking, and now he's dead.
It must have been too cold for him, his heart gave away, they said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always (Still the dead one lay moaning).
I was much too far out all my life, and not waving but drowning.
试卷第 6 页,共 14 页
‘Not Waving But Drowning’ by Stevie Smith describes the emotional situation of a speaker whose true sufferings go unnoticed by all those around her. The poem begins with the speaker
stating that there is a dead man who is not really dead. He is not dead because his story has more to offer to the world. His death came at the hands of apathy (冷漠). The speaker knows this to be true as she is struggling out in the ocean waters. She’s trying desperately to get someone’s
attention but all the onlookers believe her to be “waving” rather than “drowning”. Then the
speaker criticizes the emotionless reaction of the beach-goers by describing their words regarding the dead man. They see him, attempt to recall something about his life, and then declare him dead without ceremony They believe that it must have been “too cold” for him and that his heart gave out. The speaker continues to say that it has always been “too cold” for her. She has always been too far out to the sea to make people understand her, especially now when she needs
understanding the most.
On the surface the poem is about a man who drowns because his movements are mistaken for friendly waving. Taken less literally, however, it speaks to the pain of being misunderstood
and the frequent failure of communication between human beings, closely related to which is its
potential suggestion of mental illness. That is, the poem can be taken as an extended metaphor (暗喻) for the specific pain of diseases like depression, which makes the man feel like “drowning”
yet unable to effectively ask for help. It’s worth noting here that Smith herself struggled with
depression for much of her life, and her own experience likely informed the poem. The man’s
mistaken gestures, in this reading, indicate the divide between appearance and reality, between
how people dealing with such illness are feeling inside and how the world sees them or how they present themselves to the world.
28 .What’s the first paragraph mainly about
A .An introduction of the poet. B .The explanation of the poem’s content.
C.The appreciation of the poem's images. D.An analysis of the poem's creation background.
29 .What does the underlined phrase “without ceremony” possibly mean
A .Casually. B .Definitely. C .Formally. D .Violently.
30 .According to the passage, what’s to blame for the man’s death in the poem
A .His inner desire for death. B .His misleading gestures for help.
C.His being drowned for so long a time. D.His failed communication with people around.
试卷第 7 页,共 14 页
31 .What can we conclude from this passage
A .People usually believe what they see.
B .People can't turn a blind eye to whoever is in trouble.
C .People should re late to what those in need truly need.
D .People with mental illnesses must help themselves out.
D
Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the
nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at that time, nor movie theatres, nor World
Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a
social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing
poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.
How did things change Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well
without poems
There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least
important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have
betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions
unfavourable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem; they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people
decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
32 .Why is reading poems thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century
试卷第 8 页,共 14 页
A .Because it built a link among people.
B .Because it helped unite a community.
C .Because it was a source of self-education.
D .Because it was a source of pleasure.
33 .What does the underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 mean
A .Stories. B .Changes. C .Amusements. D .Concentrations.
34 .What is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry
A .Students are poorly educated in high school.
B .Poems have become difficult to understand.
C .Students are becoming less interested in poetry.
D .TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
35 .What does the author try to tell us by writing the text
A .The history and changes of poetry.
B .The correct way for teachers to teach poetry.
C .The failure of poetry in people’s life nowadays.
D .The reason why people aren’t keen on poetry today.

Poetry has a place in the curriculum of primary schools. It can be taught as part of reading, writing, and language lessons, and it fits easily into classroom themes, projects, and celebrations. 36 . Here are four reasons to teach poetry in the classroom.
Build Reading, Speaking & Listening Skills
The unique thing about poetry is that we often read aloud, repeat often, and share in groups. When children are listening to poems orally, they are building their listening skills 37 .
When sharing poems in a classroom, look at, and read them together. Children are strengthening their reading skills and building reading fluency through repeated reading.
Explore Language & Vocabulary
38 . Children can learn about phonics and letter sounds by listening for and locating
试卷第 9 页,共 14 页
rhyming words. A poem can be used to teach vocabulary, sentence structure, parts of speech, and many grammar skills. Poetry also builds vocabulary. Children get exposed to words they have not heard before, and they listen to them in context.
Inspire Writing
Learn about how poems are created and the words they contain. It is the first step in
writing. 39 . In poetry, we learn how to put words together to form meaning and context. We learn how to choose the right words to create imagery and effect. Writing poetry is a
transferable skill that will help children write in other ways and styles.

Poetry is a form of expression. Writing it lets us get out our feelings and thoughts on a
subject while reading it encourages us to connect and find meaning in our experiences. Poetry can have a positive impact on the social and emotional learning of children. It may offer them a new way of thinking about something. It can put things into words that children may not know how to express otherwise.
A .Build a Love for Reading
B .Encourage Creative Thinking
C .It can add additional value to our studies
D .Poetry often contains words that rhyme for effect
E .Different types of poems have various components
F .Children have a natural curiosity to foster and encourage with poetry
G .They learn to attend to the words they hear and think about what those words mean

When I was little, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers, and roses were the most beautiful of them. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the
princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines (台词) so
hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed,
still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow
dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling one dandelion up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it ” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Aware that she had

guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled gently.注意:

【原文】
Langston Hughes was born in Missouri in 1902 but was raised by his grandmother after his parents separated. When not living with his grandmother, he traveled with his mother from town to town. While living in Ohio in his early teenage years, Langston Hughes wrote a number of
poems in rhyme, and his eighth grade class elected him as the class poet. He moved to Mexico
after high school and wrote The Negro Speaks of Rivers in 1921. It expressed his sadness at the
endless hardship of the 1930s. Hughes traveled to the Soviet Union, Japan and Haiti. After many travels he returned to Harlem to make it his home, which is an area of New York City in northeast Manhattan, where many African-American people live. He wrote one of his most famous poem,
Harlem, in 1951. Ten years later he published Black Nativity which caused public arguments
about race relations. He died in 1967. Many people refer to Langston Hughes as the most famous black poet due to his influence on African-American literature.

have been published, self-published, published on any public website or broadcast, nor winning or placed in any other competition. ( 参赛作品必须完全是参赛者的作品,不得发表、 自行发表、在任何公共网站或广播上发表,也不得在任何其他比赛中获胜或参赛)”可知,参赛作品必须完全是参赛者的作品,不能是已经发表过或参过赛的作品,可得出参赛作品应该是原创的。故选 A 项。
23.细节理解题。由最后一段中“The prize is open to anyone except those involved in organizing the competition. (该奖项对任何人开放,参与组织比赛的人除外)”可知,参与组织比赛的人无权获奖,即组织比赛的作家无权获奖。故选 C 项。
24 .A 25 .C 26 .B 27 .A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了诗歌的美。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Why is this Is it because humans are not good at expressing their emotions Maybe it is just that emotions are often too personal or too complex to be shared
in a casual conversation. However, for centuries, people have often expressed their emotions on
paper, in the form of poetry.(为什么会这样?是因为人类不善于表达自己的情感吗?也许只
是情绪往往过于个人化或过于复杂,无法在随意的谈话中分享。然而,几个世纪以来,人们经常以诗歌的形式在纸上表达自己的情感。)”可知,作者在提到日常生活中“你好吗?”和“很好” 的对话形式时,对这种现象提出两个疑问,接着指出可能是这种情绪过于私人或复杂,
无法在随意的谈话中表达出来,而人们经常用诗歌表达自己的情感。再结合下文内容可知,接下来文章围绕诗歌展开,由此可推测出,作者在第一段提出问题是为了引出诗歌这一话题。故选 A。
25 .词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“so that the poet can maintain a feeling of privacy”可知,诗人在表达情感的时候仍然能够维持隐私的感觉,由此可推测出,这里指的是诗人的情感被隐藏在意境中,disguised 意为“ 隐藏” ,与 hidden 意思相近。故选 C。
26 .细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One of the most commonly asked questions in the English language is ‘How are you ’ and whether a person is feeling happy or sad, excited or lonely,
fantastic or heartbroken they will just about always answer ‘Fine’.(英语中最常见的问题之一是
答案第 4 页,共 14 页
‘你好吗?’, 而无论一个人是感到快乐还是悲伤、兴奋还是孤独、美妙还是心碎,他们几乎总是会回答‘很好’。)”和“Maybe it is just that emotions are often too personal or too complex to be shared in a casual conversation.(也许只是情绪往往过于个人化或过于复杂,无法在随意的谈话中分享。)”可知,在日常对话中,当对方问“你好吗?”时,无论回答者感到快乐还是悲伤、兴奋还是孤独、美妙还是心碎,他们几乎只会回答“很好”,很难在随意的对话中捕捉到许多人类情感。故选 B。
27.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The interesting thing about poetry is that anyone reading a poem can have their own view or feelings about it and heated discussions can often arise over
what the poet was originally trying to say or express.(诗歌的有趣之处在于,任何阅读诗歌的人都可以对其有自己的看法或感受,而且经常会就诗人最初想说或表达的内容展开激烈的讨论。)”可知,诗歌的有趣之处在于任何人都可以对一首诗有自己的观点或感受,而且会经常出现热烈的讨论,即不同的人对一首诗的理解和鉴赏方式不同。故选 A。
28 .B 29 .A 30 .D 31 .C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要探讨诗歌 Not Waving but Drowning 的主要内容和创作主旨。
28 .主旨大意题。根据第一段的“The poem begins with the speaker stating that there is a dead man who is not really dead. He is not dead because his story has more to offer to the world. His
death came at the hands of apathy (冷漠). The speaker knows this to be true as she is struggling
out in the ocean waters. She’s trying desperately to get someone's attention but all the onlookers
believe her to be “waving” rather than “drowning” . (这首诗的开头是演讲者说,有一个死人并不是真的死了。他并没有死,因为他的故事能为世界提供更多。他死于冷漠之手。演讲者知道这是真的,因为她正在海水中挣扎。她拼命想引起别人的注意,但所有的旁观者都认为她是在“挥手” ,而不是“溺水”)” 以及下文的内容可知,第一段主要是对上面诗歌的内容进行了解释。故选 B。
29 .词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Then the speaker criticizes the emotionless reaction of the beach-goers by describing their words regarding the dead man.(然后,演讲者通过描述他们对死者的描述来批评海滩游客的无感情反应)”可知,对于他的死亡,海滩的游客当时的反应毫无感情,非常的冷漠。所以他们看到了他,随意的就宣布了他的死亡。由此可知,划线短语的意思为“ 随意的” 。故选 A。
30 .推断理解题。 根据第一段的 “She has always been too far out to the sea to make people
答案第 5 页,共 14 页
understand her, especially now when she needs understanding the most.(她总是离大海太远,无法让人们理解她,尤其是现在她最需要理解的时候)” 和第二段的 “Taken less literally,
however, it speaks to the pain of being misunderstood and the frequent failure of communication
between human beings, closely related to which is its potential suggestion of mental illness. (然而,从字面上看,它讲述了被误解的痛苦和人类之间频繁的沟通失败,这与它潜在的精神疾病暗示密切相关)”可知,作者把诗歌中叙述者和溺水男子的状态作了类比。由此推知,男子的死因正是因为他的求救信号被周围人误读了,交流不畅所致。 故选 D。
31.推理判断题。结合文章主旨大意以及第一段的“She has always been too far out to the sea to make people understand her, especially now when she needs understanding the most.(她总是离大海太远,无法让人们理解她,尤其是现在她最需要理解的时候)”以及第二段的“On the surface the poem is about a man who drowns because his movements are mistaken for friendly waving.(从表面上看,这首诗是关于一个溺水的人,因为他的动作被误认为是友好的挥手)”可推知,作者通过这篇诗歌评论是想表达出大众应该给予心理疾病患者更多的理解和关怀。故选 C。
32 .A 33 .C 34 .B 35 .D
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要讲的是为什么人们不再喜欢诗歌。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual.(然而,诗歌是快乐的来源,是自我教育的来源,是与他人或与自己社区之外的世界联系的来源。阅读它们既是一种个人行为,也是一种社会行为,甚至可能比个人行为更具社会性。)”可知,朗读诗歌在人们之间建立了一种联系。故选 A。
33.词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的 television(电视) 、 movie theatres(电影院)和 World Wide Web(万维网)可知,这些都是消遣的娱乐形式,因此划线词所在句子表示“ 的确,那时候没有电视,没有电影院,也没有万维网来提供娱乐” ,因此划线词 diversion 的意思是“消遣,娱乐” ,和 Amusements 意思相近。故选 C。
34.推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中的“Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.(读者们认为诗歌不适合晚上坐在炉边或安乐椅上,它们属于其他难以阅读的东西。)”和最后一段“Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is
that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.(然而,当老师把这些问题强
答案第 6 页,共 14 页
加给他们的高中生时,通常发生的情况是,年轻人认为诗歌是令人不快的填字游戏。)”可推知,读者与诗歌之间巨大鸿沟的主要原因是诗歌变得难以理解了。故选 B。
35 .主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段的几个问题“Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems (为什么大多数美国人不再对诗歌感到自在,为什么今天大多数人认为诗歌没有什么可告诉他们的,他们没有诗歌也能过得很好?)” 以及下文就这几个问题展开阐述并告诉读者造成这种现象的原因(人们不再喜欢诗歌的原因)可知,作者试图通过写这篇文章告诉我们今天人们不喜欢诗歌的原因。故选 D。
36 .C 37 .G 38 .D 39 .E 40 .B

about what those words mean(他们学会注意他们听到的话,并思考这些话的意思)”则是上文内容的自然延续,明确指出听诗歌是如何培养孩子的听力技能的。故选 G。
38 .根据下文内容“Children can learn about phonics and letter sounds by listening for and
locating rhyming words. (孩子们可以通过听和定位押韵的单词来学习语音和字母的发音。)”可知,孩子们可以通过定位押韵的单词来学习语音和发音。选项 D“Poetry often contains words that rhyme for effect(诗中经常有押韵的词,以达到效果)”中的“words that rhyme”与下文内容形成一致,指的是诗歌中有押韵的词,而孩子们通过定位押韵的词可以学习语音等。故选
D。
(
,
)39 .根据空前内容“Learn about how poems are created and the words they contain. It is the first step in writing.(了解诗歌是如何创作的,以及它们包含的单词。这是写作的第一步。)”可知
答案第 7 页,共 14 页
我们需要了解诗歌是如何创作的以及诗歌的组成。选项 E“Different types of poems have
various components(不同类型的诗歌有不同的组成部分)”与上文内容相一致,指出我们需要了解诗歌的创作,而不同的诗歌有不同的组成部分。故选 E。
40.空处为小标题,为本段的主要内容。根据下文“Poetry is a form of expression. Writing it lets us get out our feelings and thoughts on a subject while reading it encourages us to connect and
find meaning in our experiences. Poetry can have a positive impact on the social and emotional
learning of children. It may offer them a new way of thinking about something. It can put things
into words that children may not know how to express otherwise.(诗歌是一种表达形式。写作可以让我们表达对一个主题的感受和想法,而阅读它则鼓励我们联系并在我们的经历中找到意义。诗歌可以对儿童的社会和情感学习产生积极影响。它可能会为他们提供一种思考事物的新方式。它可以把孩子们不知道如何表达的东西用语言表达出来。)”可知,诗歌是一种表达的方式,可以帮助孩子们把不知道如何表达的东西表达出来。由此可知,本段讲述的是诗歌可以培养孩子的创造性思维能力。选项 B“Encourage Creative Thinking(鼓励创造性思维)”与本段内容相符。故选 B。

words inspired me with courage and confidence. But on the evening of the performance, I
suddenly felt nervous backstage again. My teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give you this,” she said, handing me a dandelion. Looking at it, I knew my mother was out there for me, which calmed me down.
