(2025·湖北部分高中联考)In Georgia students will be required to build “background knowledge” by reciting all or part of significant poems and speeches.The Arkanses plan calls for students to recite a passage from a well-known poem, play or speech.That's it: an old-fashioned demand that students memorize the Gettysburg Address or Hamlet's“To be or not to be”or Gwendolyn Brooks's We Real Cool and recite it to an audience.
Most parents would probably call this a worthy exercise once abandoned for long, gathering the courage to speak in public and firing the adolescent imagination.Who could object to store memorable words in teenage heads otherwise packed with short videos?
English teachers, that's who.Modern educators view memorization as empty repetition, mechanical and prescriptive (规定的) rather than creative or thoughtful.Reciting texts from memory, they say, merely drops information into students' minds.It's repetitive learning instead of critical analysis.
That's wrong.Recitation allows students to experience a text as a living thing, ready to be taken up by a new generation.Committing a poem or speech to memory means stepping into the author's shoes and pondering what he meant.Deciding which words to stress when reciting means thinking about what those words mean.
In our age of social media and artificial intelligence, the practice of recitation has never been more needed.Memorizing classic words reminds us that they are alive.
Watch the faces of parents as they listen to their children urging us all toward what Martin Luther King called “a dream deeply rooted in the American dream,”or saying with Robert Frost,“I have been one acquainted with the night,” or with Shakespeare,“Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow ...”
When young reciters return to their seats, they know they have made ageless words their own.What parents and students feel at that moment transcends (超越) a good grade.For a few minutes, hard-working teens become King, Frost or Shakespeare.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了在社交媒体和人工智能时代,背诵经典词句的重要性,以及现代教育者对此的反对态度。
1.Why are educators against storing memorable words in teenage heads?
A.Memorization is nothing but thoughtful learning.
B.Memorization is anything but repetitive learning.
C.Memorization does injure teenagers' heads.

(2025·怀化模拟)In an era of digital technology, the art of writing by hand has slowly been downgraded to a past entertainment.However, recent research suggests that this physical act is essential to brain health and development, having multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits.It is time we should reevaluate the potential benefits it may have on our mental capacities.
According to numerous studies, writing by hand stimulates more complex and diverse brain connections essential for encoding new information and forming memories.For instance, a recent investigation found that brain connectivity patterns were far more complicated and widespread for participants who wrote by hand compared to those who typed.Thus, it is clear that handwriting has a distinct and significant impact on our brain health.
Handwriting isn't just good for our brain health — it also has clear, practical benefits.Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning.This extends beyond the classroom too.People who recorded information on paper calendars demonstrated more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones.The act of handwriting, therefore, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks.
Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been on the decline.However, 25 states in the US have reintroduced writing back into school curriculums.This is a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential in children's brain development.Preliterate (未识字的) children who wrote by hand demonstrated brain activity in a circuit of the brain used in learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development.
It is clear that handwriting is a valuable activity that has the potential to enhance our brain health, learning, memory, and problem-solving skills.As we continue to navigate the digital age, it is important not to overlook the value of this seemingly simple activity.So, the next time you reach for your keyboard, remember the benefits of picking up a pen instead.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了我们应该重新评估手写对我们的心智能力的益处,未来它将成为教育的重要组成部分。
5.What do people usually think of handwriting at present?
A.It has become an old-fashioned skill.
B.It has many cognitive benefits in life.
C.It has been replaced by digital devices.
D.It has been a popular entertainment.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知,人们通常把手写看成一种已经过时的技能。
6.What does the author mainly show about handwriting in paragraph 3?
A.It is beneficial to brain health.
B.It helps students score higher on quizzes.
C.It stimulates diverse brain connection.
D.It has good effects on learning and memory.
解析:选D 段落大意题。段首句点明主旨,接着第二句讲述了手写对学习的益处,第三、四句点明了手写对记忆的影响。
7.Why is previous research mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To make a comparison.
B.To add further evidence.
C.To show different opinions.
D.To explain the brain activity.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2025·亳州模拟) As a high school student, you're likely used to learning through reading textbooks.__9__ This lies at the heart of“experiential appreciation”, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you.It's about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn.
To practice experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects.They will provide a first-hand understanding of the concepts you're studying, making learning active and meaningful.So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event.__10__
As you dive deeper, immerse (沉浸) yourself fully in the surroundings and activities.When you're in nature, don't just look around.__11__ Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable.
__12__ After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel.Write in a journal or discuss it with friends.This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.
Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured.__13__ So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await.This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life.
A.It extends learning beyond textbooks.
B.These activities bring learning to life.
C.Mind the impact of your actions on the environment.
D.Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it.
E.Take your experiences further by reflecting on them.
F.Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles.
G.Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating.

(2025·厦门模拟)As a writer, I miss rejection slips.Not that I enjoyed receiving those pre-printed slips of paper, but at least when I got one, I was pretty sure that a flesh-and-blood __14__ had put it in the envelope.And there was always the chance I might see a handwritten sentence on the bottom, __15__ the piece almost made it.When an editor at McCall's wrote, “I'm afraid I have to say no on this __16__ piece, but try me again on another, would you?” It was almost as __17__ to me as if she had said,“We'll __18__ it and here is an advance for you.”
Nowadays, rejection slips seem to have disappeared with the use of online submissions.Most editors don't feel it a must to __19__ they have received, read, or considered your work because they receive so many __20__ each day.
For me, there are three __21__ of rejection slip pain.The first is __22__ brought on by finding a flat“no” on a(n) __23__ piece of paper, then followed by anger (how could they __24__ a piece that is obviously so much __25__ than most of the stuff they print), and, finally, rebirth: I will live to __26__ a new piece another day.
Learning to __27__ rejection seems like part of growing up as a writer.Despite the many letters of acceptance I have received, my folder of“Noteworthy Rejection Slips” is far __28__ than that of “Noteworthy Acceptances”, which indicates to me the fact: I still have some growing up to do.

习题讲评(二) 1篇语法填空+1篇应用文写作+1篇读后续写
Ⅰ.语法填空
(2025·金华模拟)The first poem that I ever fell in love with was Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, __1__ often quoted phrase “nevermore” seems to tell much about Americans as they will “nevermore”willingly read poetry.At the peak of poetry's __2__ (popular) in 2017, only about 28 million Americans reported that they had read a poem within the last year.
As humans, we are __3__ (constant) trying to acknowledge the fact that some feelings cannot __4__ (convey) clearly, and yet we shy away from an art form that depends on collecting emotion from every day and __5__ (translate) it onto paper so that it becomes concrete.
In between lines, poets can transform heavy topics of love and loss __6__ easy words that are not only understood but also felt.We need poetry __7__ (remind) us of what we can be “if only we're brave enough”, as Gorman would say.
Yes, poems are confusing at times, __8__ it is your understanding that lends itself to meaning.Everything, from capitalization to punctuation (标点) marks, can be picked apart and thrown together; in the end, it is up to you to find __9__ you need.
Regardless of __10__ (they) shapes, poems are all reflections of the human desire to feel.Nathalie Handal in her piece Love Letter put it best, “I'd like to be a poem, to reach your heart and stay.”
So let it stay.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者对于诗歌这种艺术形式的看法和理解。
1.whose 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词The Raven,关系词在从句中作定语,故用whose。

3.constantly 考查副词。修饰动词trying应用副词,故填constantly。
4.be conveyed 考查语态。主语与谓语构成被动关系,且cannot后跟动词原形,故填be conveyed。
5.translating 考查非谓语动词。空处和collecting并列作介词on的宾语,应用动名词形式。
6.into 考查介词。transform ... into ...表示“把……转化为……”,为固定搭配。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2025·泉州模拟)As a child, I grew up in a modest neighborhood where access to books was limited.My parents installed in me a love for reading, and I longed for more knowledge.That's when Mrs Henderson, a retired teacher with a passion for books, decided to establish a little library in our community.
The library was a small wooden structure, almost like a dollhouse, situated at the end of our street.Mrs Henderson filled it with a variety of books, from children's stories to classics and non-fiction.The library was free for anyone in the neighborhood to use, and it quickly became a hub for the curious minds of our community, myself included.
I vividly remember the first time I stepped into that tiny library.The shelves were packed with books of all kinds.I felt like I had entered a treasure trove.I started borrowing books regularly, and the more I read, the more I thirsted for knowledge.
It wasn't just the books that made this library special; it was Mrs Henderson herself.She would spend hours talking to each child, helping them choose books that matched their interests.She made learning fun and accessible, and she inspired us to dream big.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
As I continued to visit the library, my horizons expanded.
Every time I entered the library, I could always see Mrs Henderson busy with the books.
参考范文:
As I continued to visit the library, my horizons expanded.I read about places I had never seen, met characters with diverse backgrounds and experiences, and learned about different cultures and perspectives.It was like traveling to distant lands and experiencing new worlds without leaving my neighborhood.The little library inspired me to work hard in school.I eventually became the first person in my family to attend college.This little library and Mrs Henderson's dedication to education transformed not only my life but the lives of many in our community.It's a reminder that education is a powerful force that can break down barriers and open doors to new opportunities.
Every time I entered the library,I could always see Mrs Henderson busy with the books.She knew us by name, our favorite genres, and our wildest dreams.One day Mrs Henderson approached me with a book she had carefully selected.It was a biography of a scientist who had overcome tremendous difficulties to pursue their passion for discovery.Little did she know, that book would ignite a spark within me that would shape my future.I read the book, and was attracted by the story of perseverance and the pursuit of knowledge.Mrs Henderson's guidance opened my eyes to genres I had never considered, broadening my horizons and fostering a love for learning that went beyond the pages of any book.
