(2024·太原市高三统考)My phone beeped as I closed the passenger door.I knew that the text was from my friend, Robin, a poet.But I did not want to read it.
Robin had recently submitted her manuscript to several publishers and she expected a response from one soon.From my view, her writing life was already charmed:work at a celebrated workshop and publish articles in literary journals.I was waiting to hear back from some book consultants.Three weeks had passed since I had sent them some manuscript pages.I'd returned to my state of frustration (沮丧) and the familiar misery.
I needed my phone for navigation, so I had no choice but to look at the screen.“I have news.” It was Robin.“Good news...” My insides shook as I sat waiting for my husband.Can we escape?
As I longed for some of Robin's magic to wear off, I had to figure out how to respond to her text, how to be a friend.“Is it about your manuscript???”“Yes!” she answered.“We can talk later but I have a book coming out next year! I'm in shock!!!”I cried, quietly.I dug deep to find the words friendship called for—“wonderful”,“amazing”,“extremely talented”.But as I texted, each word felt pathetic.This time, jealousy had put a valuable friendship at risk.To overcome it, I had to face the fact that Robin had achieved something I could not.None of my excuses—the demands of motherhood, financial pressure,“I'm not good at this”—seemed to hold up anymore.
Two days later, I wrote to the consulting company again.They responded:“The writing is really good.” I was overjoyed.Robin and I are still stairs apart on the writing—the success ladder, but all four of our feet are moving upward.After her book was released, she and I met over beers.I asked about her writing process;how did she create her book? A clue: it wasn't magic.
4.Why was the author unwilling to read the text?
A.Because she was too busy to read it.
B.Because she knew Robin's response well.
C.Because she feared Robin's good news.
D.Because she didn't know it was from Robin.
5.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Robin's achievements in her writing life.
B.The huge gap between Robin and the author.
C.Robin's contribution to the author's success.
D.The author's feelings about Robin's literature.
6.What does the underlined word “pathetic” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Delightful. B.Astonishing.
C.Confusing. D.Useless.
7.What can we infer about Robin's book from the last paragraph?
A.It was about magic.
B.It took great efforts.
C.It made the author jealous.
D.It was an immediate success.
C
Teaching Poetry
No poem should ever be discussed or“analysed”,until it has been read aloud by someone,teacher or student.Better still,perhaps,read 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.
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 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 “analysing” 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 of life”.It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”,and it can “save your life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to communicate this to anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature,about its sound as well as its sense,and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
8.To have a better understanding of a poem,one should____________.
A.analyze it by oneself
B.discuss it with others
C.practise reading it aloud
D.copy it down in a notebook
9.According to the writer,one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students____________.
A.to enjoy poetry
B.to become poets
C.to become teachers
D.to understand life
10.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?
A.The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject.
B.More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry.
C.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
D.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
11.The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by “_____________”.
A.provide equipment
B.build a school
C.set up a house
D.leave a certain amount of time

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。Teen Ink正在为Teens Talk:Are You Listening?一书开展征集封面艺术大赛,该书由青少年作家Maria Proulx创作,文章对参赛作品提出了一些要求并对提交方式进行了详细说明。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Written by a teen for teens,the book discusses matters relevant to a teen's life.”可知,这本书讨论了与青少年生活相关的问题,故选项A正确。
2.D 细节理解题。根据Guidelines栏目中的“Be creative;don't be too literal in your interpretation of the author's point”以及“Consider the theme of the book”可知,一幅以主题为基础且有创意性的画有可能被考虑到,故选项D正确。
3.B 文章出处题。根据Guidelines栏目中的“Please download an outline of the book here”以及Submissions栏目中的“Submit entries through this link.”可知,这篇文章很有可能来自一个官方网站,故选项B正确。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者的朋友Robin是一名诗人,她常在文学期刊上发表文章,明年将出版新书。与她相比,作者的投稿常石沉大海。受到朋友成功的鼓励,作者决定继续投稿,并得到了回复。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知,当作者得知Robin有好消息时,心里直打颤,想逃避;根据第四段中的“This time...friendship at risk.”可知,这一次嫉妒把一段宝贵的友谊置于危险之中。据此可以推知,作者不愿意看Robin的信息是因为心怀嫉妒,害怕Robin的好消息。
5.B 段落大意题。通读第二段可知,该段描写了作者和她的朋友Robin的差距:Robin常在文学期刊上发表文章,而作者的投稿常石沉大海,这让作者处于沮丧和熟悉的痛苦状态。
6.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后一句“This time,jealousy had put a valuable friendship at risk.”可知,这一次嫉妒把一段宝贵的友谊置于危险之中;结合画线词所在的句子可知,当作者回复她朋友的短信时,会想到一些赞美的词。但当她编辑信息时,发现这些词都没有用。useless意为“无用的”。
7.B 推理判断题。根据尾段最后两句可知,当作者问及Robin如何创作这本书时,她告诉作者这不是魔法。据此可以判断,Robin创作这本书需要很大的努力。
C
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。作者通过阐释朗读诗歌和背诵诗歌的重要价值来论述自己的观点:英语教师应让学生喜欢诗歌,并在课堂上留出些时间来让学生听诗歌、思考诗歌。
8.C 细节理解题。根据第一段首句中的“No poem should ever be discussed or ‘analysed’,until it has been read aloud by someone”以及第二段中的“All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it aloud”可知,要更好地理解诗歌,我们应大声朗读出来。
9.A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.”可知,作为英语教师,我们的目的之一就是让学生喜欢诗歌。
10.B 推理判断题。第三段最后一句是指诗歌应该在语言和文学教学中占有更重要的地位。由此可知,应该更重视诗歌教学。
11.D 词义猜测题。根据画线短语前作者对教诗歌的老师的忠告,和肯定朗读诗歌的价值及后面的“in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it”可知,此处作者呼吁应在课堂上留出些时间来让学生听诗歌,思考诗歌。
