Overall visits from readers to a poetry website went up thirty percent during the pandemic. “So many people have reached out wanting to discuss how much more poetry has meant to them this year, or how suddenly poetry has meant something to them, ” says award-winning poet Naomi Shihab Nye, a teacher. All year, she says people have been asking her for advice on what poems to read or what poetry platforms to choose. It wasn’t just the pandemic. This year saw an extraordinary economic trauma that we had all been experiencing. And poetry is an art form that has always been a resource in times of crisis. “A lot of people, especially in healthcare, haven’t known where to put their sorrow because there’s been too much and there’s been no time to navigate it, ” she says. Suzanne Olhmann, a nurse, who says she talks about poetry with her patients almost every day, shares the poem Kindness by Naomi with them, as well as with other healthcare workers. “Naomi’s poem really helps us understand that you can think of sorrow as a two-sided coin and on the other side of it is kindness, ” she says. Poet James Crews says that one reason why poetry has provided comfort this year is that it’s a powerful medium for working through change. “A lot of poems are read during funerals, weddings, graduations, and huge transitions in our lives, ”he says. “And I feel that we’re all turning to poetry as a way of capturing and naming this huge transition that we’re all going through together right now. We need poems to remind us why the world is worth saving and also how we can take better care of ourselves. ” That is how poetry gives us hope each and every day. And even once the pandemic is over, poems will be here for us, holding space for relief and escape. 5. What can we infer from what Naomi said? A. Poems need to be discussed and analyzed. B. More people are interested in poetry today. C. People don’t understand the meaning of poems. D. Too many people ask for advice on writing poems. 2. What does the underlined word “trauma” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. An unpleasant thing. B. An unexpected result. C. An impossible change. D. An insignificant challenge. 3. Why does the author give the example of Suzanne Olhmann? A. To show the kindness of the nurse. B. To prove the comforting role of poems. C. To show the current popularity of poetry. D. To prove the good relationship between nurses and patients. 4. What does Crews think of poetry? A. It saves our joy in a broken world. B. It reminds us to take care of the earth. C. It describes the dark times of our life. D. It helps us go through the changes in life. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了越来越多的人通过诗歌来寻求安慰, 因为诗歌能给人们带来希望, 为人们提供解脱和远离的空间。 1.B。推理判断题。根据第二段中“So many people. . . choose ”可知, 越来越多的人对诗歌感兴趣了。故选B。 2．A。词义猜测题。结合语境可知, 新冠感染是一件令人沮丧的事情, 再结合后文的“in times of crisis”可推出, 此处表示“我们经历了一种经济上的创伤”。故选A。 3．B。推理判断题。作者在第四段中举了护士Suzanne Olhmann的例子, 她经常和病人讨论, 分享诗歌, 这样做的目的是安慰病人, 驱除他们的悲伤。所以作者举这个例子是为了证明诗歌具有安慰的力量。故选B。 4．D。推理判断题。根据第五段中“Poet James Crews says that one reason why poetry has provided comfort this year is that it’s a powerful medium for working through change. ”可知, Crews认为, 诗歌是一种强大的媒介, 可以帮助人们经历生活中的变化。故选D。 七、七选五 Reading poetry can be challenging, but learning how to carefully move through a poem is also very rewarding. 　1　 But, by following the tips below, anyone can have the deeply rewarding experience of connecting to a great poem.   Sound abounds (有许多). Poetry is made to be heard. You’re probably familiar with rhyming poems: roses are red, violets are blue. . . but there are many sound elements that poets use not only to make the poem sound beautiful, but to enhance the meaning or intention of a poem. 　2　 What do you notice about how it sounds? How does the sound enhance an overall theme, mood, or message?   　3　 Many poems may use words or reference places or times in history that may be unfamiliar to you. Be curious enough to look up all the words and references that you’re unfamiliar with. You should also gather information about the poet, what was happening in their lives, and what was going on in the world around them. All of these can offer essential context to bring the poem to life.   Analyze the figurative (比喻的) language in the poem. Figurative language could be words that are repeated often in the poem or words that rhyme in each stanza (节). To get more into the figurative meaning of the poem, you should look at how the poet uses literary devices like metaphor, simile, and imagery. 　4　  Finally, you don’t have to understand it to engage with it and enjoy it. If you like the way a poem sounds when you read it aloud, but don’t know what it “means, ” that’s OK! 　5　 The great thing about art is that it can have lots of different meanings or seemingly no meaning at all and can still be enjoyed. The same goes for poetry.   A. Curiosity kills the confusion. B. Look up the words you do not understand. C. They are often used to add deeper meaning to the poem. D. Maybe it makes sense in a way that you can’t necessarily express. E. Once you find a poem that interests you, read it out loud several times. F. You should also pay attention to how the poet opens and closes the poem. G. Unlike painting and music, poetry requires a little extra effort to harvest its full effects. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了如何体验阅读诗歌带来的好处。 1. G。结合横线前后文可知, 要体会到诗歌的益处是需要一些技巧的, 所以空白处要填: 不像绘画和音乐, 要想获得诗歌的全部效果需要额外的努力。故选G。 2. E。结合横线前后文可知, 此处是指你把诗歌读出来, 这样你才能注意到它听起来怎么样。故选E。 3. A。根据下文“Be curious enough to look up all the words and references that you’re unfamiliar with. ”可知, 谈到了好奇心对查阅不熟悉的单词和参考资料的意义。因此本段应围绕好奇心展开。选项A中Curiosity 与段中的curious 相一致。故选A。 4. C。根据前文“To get more into the figurative meaning of the poem, you should look at how the poet uses literary devices like metaphor, simile, and imagery. ”可知, 接下来可能描述使用这些文学手法的意义。选项C中的They指代上文提到的文学手法, 故选C。 5. D。结合横线前后文可知, 你不理解诗歌, 也可以享受它。诗歌的意义是欣赏, 在于享受。因此空白处填的内容为: 诗歌的意义也许体现在某种你无法表达的方式上。故选D。 八、完形填空 　　One of the greatest of the Tang poets was Du Fu (712—770).
