Jane Yolen(简·约伦)从小热爱诗歌，起初她的作品并不被人看好，但是她坚持不懈，最终成了一名备受好评的诗人。
A Poet Finds Her Place
I have been a poet and a poetry lover all my life. My first poem(yes my mother kept it for years) was hardly any sign that I would ever become any good. I was in first grade:
Bus, bus, wait for us，
We are going to school.
And we know the rule.
We were going to the zoo，
But the teacher got sick...boohoo.
So instead we went to get berries，
But could only find cherries.
Poetry was always a part of my growing up. In high school, I sent out my poems to magazines across America. I received many, many printed form rejections and a couple of hand-typed personal noes from places like the Saturday Review, until I had 113 rejection letters in all. I papered my bedroom wall with them. Then, suddenly, my poems began to be published in national literary(文学的) journals and I thought I was exceptionally good.
My father—who was in publishing and public relations—thought he knew better. He said，“Your poems are very nice, dear, but you can’t make a living that way.”
But if you count Owl Moon as an unrhymed picture book poem, How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight as a rhymed picture book among over 70 other poetry books, I have made a living that way.
So here is one of my poems from a book called An Egret’s Day.
Egret in Flight
She’an arrow(箭)
From a bow.
We watch in wonder
From below.
Origami(折纸)
Neck is folded.
All that we can do?
Behold(注视) it.
Angel wings
Of purest(最纯洁的) white.
Perfect flyer.
Perfect flight.

①俳句，是日本的一种古典短诗，以三句十七音为一首，首句五音，次句七音，末句五音。俳句是中国古代汉诗的“绝句”，这种诗歌形式经过日本化发展而来。
②美国诗人Adelaide Crapsey(1878－1914)受俳句和短歌等日本诗歌的启发，创造了一种基本采用抑扬格的五行诗体，每行分别有2个、4个、6个、8个、2个音节，一共22个音节，此称为传统五行诗。后来又有人发展出一种更简单的五行诗体，称为现代五行诗：
1个名词(诗的题目)，
2个与题目有关的形容词，
3个与题目有关的动词，
4个词组成的短句，
1个词进一步阐述题目，回归题目。
A FEW SIMPLE FORMS OF ENGLISH POEMS
There are various reasons why people write poetry. Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. Others try to convey① certain emotions②.Poets use many different forms of poetry to express themselves. In this text, however, we will look at a few of the simpler forms.
◆why 引导的定语从句修饰先行词various reasons。
◆that 引导的定语从句修饰先行词a way。
Some of the first poetry a young child learns in English is nursery rhymes③. These rhymes like the one on the right (A) are still a common type of children’s poetry. The language is concrete④ but imaginative, and they delight small children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition⑤. The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory⑥， but they are easy to learn and recite. By playing with the words in nursery rhymes, children learn about language.
◆a young child learns in English 为定语从句，修饰先行词poetry，关系词在从句中作宾语，故被省略了。先行词被 the first 修饰时，定语从句的关系词用that而不用which。如果that在从句中作宾语则可以省略。
◆该句是并列复合句，由并列连词and连接。在第二个分句中有一个because引导的原因状语从句。
◆句中but连接两个并列分句。but后的分句中，to learn and recite为动词不定式短语作状语，且learn和recite与句子的主语they构成逻辑上的动宾关系，此时用动词不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。
A
Hush⑦ , little baby, don’t say a word，
Papa’s going to buy you a mockingbird⑧.
If that mockingbird won’t sing，
Papa’s going to buy you a diamond⑨ ring.
If that diamond ring turns to brassB10 ，
Papa’s going to buy you a looking-glass.
If that looking-glass gets broke，
Papa’s going to buy you a billy-goat?.
If that billy-goat runs away?，
Papa’s going to buy you another today.
Some simple poems are like B and C that list things. List poems have a flexible? line length and repeated phrases which give both a pattern? and a rhythm to the poem. Some rhyme (like B) while? others do not (like C)．
B
I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a fish-pond all on fire，
I saw a house bow to? a squire?，
I saw a person twelve-feet high，
I saw a cottage? in the sky，
I saw a balloon made of lead，
I saw a coffin? drop down dead，
I saw two sparrows? run a race，
I saw two horses making lace，
I saw a girl just like a cat，
I saw a kitten wear a hat，
I saw a man who saw these too，
And said though strange they all were true.
◆本句中包含一个“see＋宾语＋宾补”结构，不带to 的动词不定式短语作宾补。本诗中使用了多种形式作see的宾补，如：不带to的动词不定式(短语)bow to a squire，drop down dead等；介词短语on fire, in the sky等；形容词短语twelve-feet high；现在分词短语 making lace。
C
Our first football match
We would have won ...
if Jack had scored that goal，
if we’d had just a few more minutes，
if we had trained harder，
if Ben had passed the ball to Joe，
if we’d had thousands of fans screaming，
if I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball，
if we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before，
if we hadn’t taken it easy，
if we hadn’t run out of energy.
We would have won...
if we’d been better!
Another simple form of poem that students can easily write is the cinquain , a poem made up of five lines. With these, students can convey a strong picture in just a few words. Look at the examples (D and E) on the top of the next page.
◆本句为主从复合句。that引导定语从句，修饰Another simple form of poem；过去分词短语made up of five lines作后置定语，修饰a poem；a poem作the cinquain的同位语。
D
Brother
Beautiful, athletic
Teasing , shouting, laughing
Friend and enemy too
Mine
E
Summer
Sleepy, salty
Drying, drooping, dreading
Week in, week out
Endless
F
A fallen blossom
Is coming back to the branch.
Look, a butterfly!
(by Moritake)
G
Snow having melted，
The whole village is brimful
Of happy children.
(by Issa)
Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that is made up of 17 syllables. It is not a traditional form of English poetry, but is very popular with English writers. It is easy to write and, like the cinquain, can give a clear picture and create a special feeling using the minimum of words. The two haiku poems (F and G) above are translations from the Japanese.
◆using the minimum of words为现在分词短语作方式状语。
H
Did you know that English speakers also enjoy other forms of Asian poetry—Tang poems from China in particular? A lot of Tang poetry has been translated into English. This Tang poem (H) is a translation from the Chinese.
Where she awaits her husband
On and on the river flows.
Never looking back，
Transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top，
wind and rain revolve.
Should the traveller return，
this stone would utter speech.
(by Wang Jian)
With so many different forms of poetry to choose from, students may eventually want to write poems of their own. It is easier than you might think and certainly worth a try!
◆“With so many...to choose from”为with复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，其中so many different forms of poetry为宾语，to choose from为动词不定式作宾补。
一些简体英文诗
人们写诗有着各种各样的原因。有些诗以令读者印象深刻的方式讲述一个故事或描写某个事物。另一些诗则试图传达某些情感。诗人用许多不同形式的诗来表达自己(的情感)。然而，在本文中，我们将会看到一些形式比较简单的诗。
孩子们最早学习的一些英文诗是童谣。这些像右边的这首童谣(A)一样的押韵的短诗仍然是一种常见的儿童诗的类型。这种语言具体但富有想象力，它们(这些童谣)能使小孩子们快乐，因为它们押韵、节奏感强，并且有较多重复。这种诗可能讲不通，甚至看起来自相矛盾，但是它们容易学和背诵。通过童谣中的文字游戏，孩子们学习了语言。
A
嘘，小宝贝，别说话，
爸爸给你买个嘲鸫。
如果嘲鸫不会唱歌，
爸爸给你买个钻戒。
如果钻戒变成黄铜，
爸爸给你买个镜子。
如果镜子打破了，
爸爸给你买只小山羊。
如果小山羊跑掉了。
爸爸今天再去给你买一只。
一些简单的诗歌像B和C一样列举事物。“清单诗”诗句的长短比较灵活且有重复的短语，这就形成了这种诗的模式和节奏。有些(清单诗)押韵(如B)，而其他的不押韵(如C)。
B
我看到鱼塘在燃烧
我看到鱼塘在燃烧，
我看到房子向地主哈腰，
我看到一个人有12英尺高，
我看到一间茅屋在天边，
我看到一个用铅做的气球，
我看到一口棺材把死人抛，
我看到两只麻雀在赛跑，
我看到两匹马儿绣花边，
我看到一个姑娘像小猫，
我看到一只小猫戴帽子，
我看到有人也看到了这些，
他说虽然奇怪，但都是真的。
C
我们的第一场足球比赛
我们就会夺冠了……
如果杰克踢进了那个球，
如果我们再有几分钟，
如果我们训练得更严格，
如果本把球传给了乔，
如果有大批球迷呐喊助威，
如果我没有让球离开我的视线，
如果我们前一天晚上没有熬夜，
如果我们没有放松警惕，
如果我们没有精疲力竭。
我们就会夺冠了……
如果我们能做得更好一些！
另外一种学生容易写的简体诗是由五行组成的五行诗。用五行诗，学生可以用少量的词语表达深刻的画面。看下一页上端的例子(D和E)。
D
兄弟
帅气，又健壮
爱闹，爱叫，又爱笑
是我的朋友
也是我的敌人
E
夏天
困乏，咸涩
干涸，枯萎，恐惧
周而复始
永无止境
F
凋落的花朵
正要回到树枝上。
瞧啊，是只蝴蝶！
(荒木田守武)
G
雪已经融化了，
整个村庄到处都是
欢乐的儿童。
(小林一茶)
俳句诗是一种日本诗，它由17个音节组成。它不属于英文诗的传统形式，但是它很受英国作家的欢迎。它容易写，而且像五行诗一样，可以用最少的词语呈现一个清晰的画面，表达一种特殊的情感。上面两首俳句诗(F和G)就是从日文翻译过来的。
H
你知道讲英语的人也喜欢其他类型的亚洲诗，尤其是中国的唐诗吗？许多唐诗已经被翻译成英文了。这首唐诗(H)就是从中文翻译过来的。
望夫处，江悠悠。
化为石，不回头。
山头日日风复雨，
行人归来石应语。
(王建)
有这么多不同的诗歌类型可选，学生们也许最终想写属于他们自己的诗了。写诗比你可能认为的要容易，绝对值得一试！

Writing poetry can seem frightening. However, with the right inspiration(灵感) and approach, you can write a poem that you can be proud to share with others in class or with your friends.
A poem might start as a piece of a verse, a line or two that seems to come out of nowhere, or an image you cannot get out of your head. You can find inspiration for your poem by doing writing exercises and using the world around you. Once you have inspiration, you can then shape your thoughts into a poem.
You may also be inspired by going for a walk in your neighborhood or to your favorite spot in the city. You may observe people on a park bench or in a public square and use moments from your observations as the inspiration for a poem. You could try writing a poem about a person who is important to you in your life, such as your mother or your best friend. You could use the person as inspiration for your poem.
You can start your poem by focusing on a specific(特定的) theme or idea that you find attractive or interesting. Picking a specific theme or idea to focus on in the poem can give your poem a clear goal or point. This can make it easier for you to limit what images and descriptions you are going to use in your poem. For example, you may decide to write a poem around the theme of “love and friendship”. You may then think about specific moments in your life when you experienced love and friendship as well as how you would characterize love and friendship based on your relationships with others.
There are many different poetic forms that you can use, from free verse to sonnet to rhyming couplet. You may go for a poetic form that you find easy to use, such as free verse, or a form that you find more challenging, such as sonnet. Choose one poetic form and stick to that structure so your poem feels cohesive(连贯的) to your readers.

For the past months, my three-year-old daughter has spent an hour every week learning a foreign language. She walks into a small room in a local school, where she and a handful of three-and four-year-olds spend the next hour dancing to La Vaca Lola, a song about a Spanish cow, creating finger puppets(木偶)to voice what they like and don’t like (me gusta, no me gusta) and shouting out which animals are big (grande) or small (peque?o)．
She tells us little about the classes. In fact, for the first few weeks, nothing at all. I begin to wonder if it was a huge mistake (each lesson works out at about ￡9) but then I show her La Vaca Lola on YouTube. She shouts vaca with enthusiasm and with what I hope is a Spanish accent.
The wish to enroll(使……加入)her in language lessons came, like most things, gradually and then in a sudden rush. In my day job, I read and edit stories about the Chinese economy. For a long time, I felt that it would be good for her to learn another language but I had no great plan as to when.
Then I read Edward Luce’s The Retreat of Western Liberalism and all my thoughts and worry about the economy combined into a panic. Waking in a sweat, it seemed obvious that if my daughter was to have any kind of future, she would have to learn another language. Ideally(理想地), immediately.
I thought about Mandarin Chinese, one of the top 10 languages most important for our future, according to the British Council(others include Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch and Japanese). But there were no classes for young children nearby. There were, however, local Spanish classes—the number-one language on the list. When she started to sing Incy Wincy Spider in Spanish and English—helped by a Spanish nursery worker—our decision was made.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了女儿从小学习西班牙语的经历。

B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的She walks into a small room in a local school...which animals are big (grande) or small (peque?o)．可知，她和几个3、4岁大的孩子在一起学西班牙语，其中一种方式就是跟着西班牙语歌跳舞。
6．How did the author feel about her daughter’s class at first?
A．Proud. B．Doubtful.
C．Delighted. D．Surprised.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的She tells us little about the classes ... I begin to wonder if it was a huge mistake (each lesson works out at about ￡9)可知，作者的女儿从来不会谈起她的西班牙语课，这让作者很怀疑自己是否该给女儿报班学习。
7．Why did the author ask her daughter to learn a foreign language?
A．To equip her for her future.
B．To develop her interest in singing.
C．To encourage her to have belief in herself.
D．To prepare her for the coming school education.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的it seemed obvious that if my daughter was to have any kind of future, she would have to learn another language可知，作者认为自己的女儿若想有一个美好的未来就必须掌握一门外语。
8．What made the author decide to enroll her daughter in Spanish lessons?
A．Her great interest.
B．Her performance.
C．The fast-growing economy.
D．The nursery worker’s suggestion.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的When she started to sing Incy Wincy Spider in Spanish and English—helped by a Spanish nursery worker—our decision was made.可知，作者的女儿用西班牙语和英语唱了一首歌，所以她决定让女儿学西班牙语。

A
Writing poetry can seem frightening. However, with the right inspiration(灵感) and approach, you can write a poem that you can be proud to share with others in class or with your friends.
A poem might start as a piece of a verse, a line or two that seems to come out of nowhere, or an image you cannot get out of your head. You can find inspiration for your poem by doing writing exercises and using the world around you. Once you have inspiration, you can then shape your thoughts into a poem.
You may also be inspired by going for a walk in your neighborhood or to your favorite spot in the city. You may observe people on a park bench or in a public square and use moments from your observations as the inspiration for a poem. You could try writing a poem about a person who is important to you in your life, such as your mother or your best friend. You could use the person as inspiration for your poem.
You can start your poem by focusing on a specific(特定的) theme or idea that you find attractive or interesting. Picking a specific theme or idea to focus on in the poem can give your poem a clear goal or point. This can make it easier for you to limit what images and descriptions you are going to use in your poem. For example, you may decide to write a poem around the theme of “love and friendship”. You may then think about specific moments in your life when you experienced love and friendship as well as how you would characterize love and friendship based on your relationships with others.
There are many different poetic forms that you can use, from free verse to sonnet to rhyming couplet. You may go for a poetic form that you find easy to use, such as free verse, or a form that you find more challenging, such as sonnet. Choose one poetic form and stick to that structure so your poem feels cohesive(连贯的) to your readers.

For the past months, my three-year-old daughter has spent an hour every week learning a foreign language. She walks into a small room in a local school, where she and a handful of three-and four-year-olds spend the next hour dancing to La Vaca Lola, a song about a Spanish cow, creating finger puppets(木偶)to voice what they like and don’t like (me gusta, no me gusta) and shouting out which animals are big (grande) or small (peque?o)．
She tells us little about the classes. In fact, for the first few weeks, nothing at all. I begin to wonder if it was a huge mistake (each lesson works out at about ￡9) but then I show her La Vaca Lola on YouTube. She shouts vaca with enthusiasm and with what I hope is a Spanish accent.
The wish to enroll(使……加入)her in language lessons came, like most things, gradually and then in a sudden rush. In my day job, I read and edit stories about the Chinese economy. For a long time, I felt that it would be good for her to learn another language but I had no great plan as to when.
Then I read Edward Luce’s The Retreat of Western Liberalism and all my thoughts and worry about the economy combined into a panic. Waking in a sweat, it seemed obvious that if my daughter was to have any kind of future, she would have to learn another language. Ideally(理想地), immediately.
I thought about Mandarin Chinese, one of the top 10 languages most important for our future, according to the British Council(others include Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch and Japanese). But there were no classes for young children nearby. There were, however, local Spanish classes—the number-one language on the list. When she started to sing Incy Wincy Spider in Spanish and English—helped by a Spanish nursery worker—our decision was made.

6．How did the author feel about her daughter’s class at first?
A．Proud. B．Doubtful.

B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的She tells us little about the classes ... I begin to wonder if it was a huge mistake (each lesson works out at about ￡9)可知，作者的女儿从来不会谈起她的西班牙语课，这让作者很怀疑自己是否该给女儿报班学习。

Farmer Pak Sadiman has made it his job to raise awareness(意识) and do something about Central Java’s water shortage problem, little by little. The 65-year-old has changed his dry, unwatered village into a groundwater shelter by planting trees on nearby land for the last 19 years, and he’s encouraging others to join in, too.
Sadiman realized that the land was in great need of some water when the Gendol River—previously the only source of water for villagers—was quickly drying up. Even the rubber trees, Sadiman’s main source of income, were so dry that they could no longer produce rubber latex(胶乳). It was then that the father of two pulled all of his resources(财力) and took action so that generations to come could benefit from the planted trees.
His choice? “Banyan trees, which unlike rubber trees that absorb groundwater, can keep groundwater. The more banyan trees planted, the more villagers will get clean water，”he said.
Although he would often find his seeds(种子) dug up by animals, the farmer never became discouraged from achieving his goal, providing his village with a reliable water source. It’s reported that he’s planted at least 11，000 trees over the last 19 years, and although other areas have experienced a lack of water supply, his village seems to have escaped the dry season.
Villagers have now joined in Sadiman’s efforts and given him free seeds or worked alongside him to plant the trees.“Pak Sadiman is our hero. This village used to struggle with a water crisis(危机), but now we have enough water because of him，” the local villagers said.

Nola(August 21, 1974－November 22，2015)was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 22, is to raise awareness of the less than 30，000 other rhinos left on Earth.
“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow，”Nola’s lead keeper Jane Kennedy said.“Last year we lost over 1，200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1，000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”
“Unfortunately，most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans，”Kennedy says.“Humans have either poached(偷猎) animals，or because there are over seven billion of us, we’ve taken up too much of the world’s resources.” Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns(角). They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations. Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.
In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell(细胞) samples from more than 8，000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it，and will find ways to increase its numbers.
Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as“a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help”．At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don’t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day. It is observed around the world, with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close.

Loneliness is a sad reality of modern life. Social media connect us to more people than ever, yet many of us feel cut off from others. In the US, health experts are warning of a “loneliness epidemic(流行病)”after half of Americans, particularly young adults, admitted to feeling socially isolated(与世隔绝的)．
Research links loneliness to an increased risk of depression, heart disease, and even premature death. One study suggests it can be as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
Ironically, crowded cities can be the hardest places of all to find human connection. The German sociologist Georg Simmel observed this phenomenon more than a century ago, writing, “One__nowhere__feels__as__lonely__and__lost__as__in__the__metropolitan(大都市的)__crowd.” While there are plenty of apps to help people in the city make connections, one organization is trying a more low-tech approach to dealing with loneliness—street listening.
Trained volunteers from Sidewalk Talk put up signs on the street that say “Free Listening” and offer passersby the chance to share their troubles while they listen. Psychotherapist Traci Ruble started the “community listening project” in San Francisco, California in 2015, and it now has 1，000 volunteers in 29 US cities and 10 countries. Ruble believes that we, as a society, badly need more face-to-face contact, which is why Sidewalk Talk volunteers sit in chairs facing the person they’re listening to.
“Loneliness shortens our lifespan ... we are meant to be in contact with each other，”Ruble says in a video about the project.“People have really gotten caught up in looking at cellphones more than faces, and I want to change that.”She adds that the volunteers“aren’t out there to fix anything for anyone”—Sidewalk Talk isn’t a professional counseling service—they are simply offering“human connection”．

Gene Wolfe is one of the most admired and respected American science fiction and fantasy writers. He is also a productive writer of outstanding short fiction, which is collected in many volumes over the last forty years, most recently in The Best of Gene Wolfe.
Although Wolfe is not as well-known to readers as he once was, he has been the receiver of great praise, including three World Fantasy Awards, two Nebulas, and eight Hugo Award nominations(提名). Sci-fi author Harlan Ellison has called him, “no less than one of the finest, most original writers in the world today”， and the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction names him “quite possibly the most important” writer in the field of science fiction.
Born in 1931, New York, Gene Wolfe moved frequently as a child, but spent most of his growing-up years in Texas. Wolfe began writing fiction in 1956, selling his first story, The Dead Man, to Sir magazine in 1965. He produced a vast amount of short fiction during the 1960s and 1970s, many of which were published in Damon Knight’s Orbit anthologies. In 1972 Wolfe’s groundbreaking The Fifth Head of Cerberus appeared. The story of human conquest(征服) upon two distant planets, the book examines issues of identity, individuality, and the results of colonialism(殖民主义) upon both the colonized and the colonizer. The novel was later listed in David Pringle’s 1985 list of The 100 Best Novels in science fiction for the period 1949－1984.
Many of his novels, The Shadow of the Torturer included, rely on a diary or letter to tell his story. In addition, Wolfe’s early interest in mystery novels shines through in his ability to drop cleverly hidden clues that allow the reader to grasp at the possible narrative behind the narrative.
By 1984 Wolfe was able to retire and devote himself full-time to his writing.Yet despite(尽管) all this, and despite the continuing respect of his colleagues, his work has become somewhat unfamiliar. Wolfe’s admirers hope this fact will be at least somewhat improved by his most recent offering, The Wizard Knight, which falls within the fantasy type that is currently popular.

Wolfe began writing fiction in 1956, selling his first story, The Dead Man, to Sir magazine in 1965. He produced a vast amount of short fiction during the 1960s and 1970s, many of which were published in Damon Knight’s Orbit anthologies. In 1972 Wolfe’s groundbreaking The Fifth Head of Cerberus appeared. The story of human conquest(征服) upon two distant planets, the book examines issues of identity, individuality, and the results of colonialism(殖民主义) upon both the colonized and the colonizer. The novel was later listed in David Pringle’s 1985 list of The 100 Best Novels in science fiction for the period 1949－1984.
Many of his novels, The Shadow of the Torturer included, rely on a diary or letter to tell his story. In addition, Wolfe’s early interest in mystery novels shines through in his ability to drop cleverly hidden clues that allow the reader to grasp at the possible narrative behind the narrative.
By 1984 Wolfe was able to retire and devote himself full-time to his writing.Yet despite(尽管) all this, and despite the continuing respect of his colleagues, his work has become somewhat unfamiliar. Wolfe’s admirers hope this fact will be at least somewhat improved by his most recent offering, The Wizard Knight, which falls within the fantasy type that is currently popular.

阅读理解
Have you ever caught yourself saying，“I hate small talk”！ the minute you walk into a party? If so, you might be an introvert(内向的人). Introverts hate to chat about“small” subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there’s a group around.
It you’re talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either they’ll seem to get bored and not say much or they’ll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. It’s just that they don’t like small talk. Here’s why.
Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation. Some introverts don’t realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You don’t need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud. Before they answer, they’ll mull__over__ different thoughts.
Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join the conversation, the more the introvert will tend to(倾向于) step back. As a result, they’ll be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.
The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening “lightly” so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on. Introverts tend to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening. This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they’re so quiet.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了内向型性格的人不善于与人闲谈并解释了其原因。
1．How do introverts respond to a chat?

2．What do we know about small talk?
A．It goes slowly.
B．It costs people a lot of time.
C．It contributes to deeper topics.
D．It provides much useful information.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation.可知，闲谈有助于向深层次对话导入。
3．What does the underlined phrase “mull over” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Give up. B．Think over.
C．Write down. D．Forget about.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud可知，内向的人在回答对方问题前会细细思量不同的想法。
4．How can we become a good talker in small conversations?
A．Figure out the deep meaning of questions.
B．Think twice before answering questions.
C．Try to find shared topics.

1．D 解析：根据设空处下文中的People generally think that these sports are just called adventurous and have nothing to do with adventure. However, nothing could be further from the truth.可知，冒险运动事实上很危险，D项意义与之吻合。
2．G 解析：G项“Extreme sports”is a phrase that is commonly used for adventurous games.与设空处下一句中的phrase前后呼应。
3．F 解析：由设空处下文中的An adventure sport is meant to be filled with fun and enjoyment as well as being adventurous.可知，冒险运动也有其意义所在，且F项中的All these sports与上文中的inline skating, snowboarding, free diving, shark diving and many more相呼应。

5．E 解析：根据该空后的However，if you are very fond of ... you can certainly try that sport out.可知，设空处与下文之间为转折关系，后一句意思是如果准备充分可以尝试冒险活动，故设空处表达意思与其相反，E项内容“初学者不建议尝试冒险运动”符合语境。

1．to be 解析：考查不定式作宾语的用法。be thought to be ...意为“被认为是……”。

9．that/which 解析：考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词company，且在从句中作主语，故填that或which。
10．the 解析：考查固定短语。at the age of ...意为“在……岁时”。

I used become angry easily and didn’t get along well with anyone. Little things like people looked at me could get me angry. When people got too close to us, I would push them away. My mom was no exception. I don’t understand at that time when my mom had done for me. But growing up, I realized I’d been causing endless trouble for my family. I was either accidentally breaking something and talking back to them. However, no matter how hard that was to take care of me, my parent never gave up. Finally, I realized I loved them deep down in my heart. Now I know I shouldn’t treat them bad and I should be nice to them all of the time.

Have you ever caught yourself saying，“I hate small talk”！ the minute you walk into a party? If so, you might be an introvert(内向的人). Introverts hate to chat about“small” subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there’s a group around.
It you’re talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either they’ll seem to get bored and not say much or they’ll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. It’s just that they don’t like small talk. Here’s why.
Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation. Some introverts don’t realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You don’t need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud. Before they answer, they’ll mull__over__ different thoughts.
Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join the conversation, the more the introvert will tend to(倾向于) step back. As a result, they’ll be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.
The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening “lightly” so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on. Introverts tend to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening. This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they’re so quiet.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了内向型性格的人不善于与人闲谈并解释了其原因。

An adventure sport is meant to be filled with fun and enjoyment as well as being adventurous.
4．________Octopus wrestling was once considered as an adventure sport but is now considered as cruel and doesn’t fall into the category(范畴) anymore. Snowboarding and skateboarding have been popular since they started in the 1950’s. Kite surfing originated in 13th-century China. It has become famous since then.
Adventure sports are fun. 5.________However, if you are very fond of a certain sport and you have all the necessary equipment and also your life insurance is up to date, you can certainly try that sport out.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了冒险运动的特性、起源及所包含的类型等。
1．D 解析：根据设空处下文中的People generally think that these sports are just called adventurous and have nothing to do with adventure. However, nothing could be further from the truth.可知，冒险运动事实上很危险，D项意义与之吻合。
2．G 解析：G项“Extreme sports”is a phrase that is commonly used for adventurous games.与设空处下一句中的phrase前后呼应。
3．F 解析：由设空处下文中的An adventure sport is meant to be filled with fun and enjoyment as well as being adventurous.可知，冒险运动也有其意义所在，且F项中的All these sports与上文中的inline skating, snowboarding, free diving, shark diving and many more相呼应。
4．B 解析：根据下文中对不同冒险运动的介绍可知，本段主要讲述了冒险运动包括很多类型，故B项符合此处语境。
5．E 解析：根据该空后的However，if you are very fond of ... you can certainly try that sport out.可知，设空处与下文之间为转折关系，后一句意思是如果准备充分可以尝试冒险活动，故设空处表达意思与其相反，E项内容“初学者不建议尝试冒险运动”符合语境。

1．to be 解析：考查不定式作宾语的用法。be thought to be ...意为“被认为是……”。
2．Having spent 解析：考查动词-ing形式作状语的用法。设空处作状语，又因为he与spend之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且spend所表示的动作发生在主句谓语动作之前，故填Having spent。
3．became 解析：考查一般过去时。由后面的in 1928可知，设空处是对过去事实的描述，应用一般过去时，故填became。
4．written 解析：考查过去分词作定语的用法。books后跟定语，又因为write与books之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且write所表示的动作已完成，故填written。
5．songs 解析：考查名词复数。由后面的are可知，应填名词复数形式songs。
6．on/upon 解析：考查介词。be based on/upon意为“以……为基础”。
7．him 解析：考查代词。设空处作helped的宾语，故填him。
8．successful 解析：考查形容词作表语的用法。设空处作表语，意为“成功的”，故填successful。
9．that/which 解析：考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词company，且在从句中作主语，故填that或which。
10．the 解析：考查固定短语。at the age of ...意为“在……岁时”。

Reading Is Valuable
Although the Internet is becoming more and more popular, books are still very important and valuable to people. That’s why I love reading books so much.
Reading is valuable in many ways. Firstly, by means of reading, I can get to know the writers’ thoughts and feelings that/which writers convey/express in books in many flexible ways. Secondly, I can learn about the writing styles of many foreign writers by reading some translations and even get to know the appropriate words and action in different situations by reading. Besides, reading can help me solve many difficult problems and get me out of trouble. Whenever I feel depressed, reading helps me transform negative moods into joy and courage.
All in all, I have benefited a lot from reading, which makes me a better person. I think books are the best gifts that God has given me.

Of all my teachers, Mr. Moore is the one who impresses me most .Though he is 34, he looks very young for his age. And he is one of the most popular teachers in our school.
Compared with other teachers, Mr. Moore pays more attention to his teaching. He tries various ways to make his classes lively and interesting. In his opinion, we should not only know “what”， but also understand “why”. So, instead of giving us answers immediately, he encourages us to think by ourselves whenever he puts forward questions. With his help, we’ve learned how to analyze and settle problems. What a wonderful world of “why” he leads us to!
He is such a learned teacher that we all admire him very much!
