Poetry is an ancient art form. Even before we could read or write, people were reciting and singing verses 1 (preserve) and pass down history, genealogy (家谱) and law. Early agricultural societies also likely chanted spells or prayers for rich harvests. The world’s 2 (old) surviving printed poem is The Epic of Gilgamesh, 3 (compose) 4,000 years ago in what is now Iraq and Syria.
4 so many types of poems, it can be hard to pin down what poetry actually is. Many have tried: William Wordsworth thought poetry was “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings”. Kahlil Gibran said, “Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.” More precisely (and perhaps less poetically), poetry can 5 (define) as writing that uses meter, metaphor and/or rhyme to elicit (引出) an emotional 6 (respond).
7 2018 study by the National Endowment for the Arts found that poetry readership 8 (increase) in recent years, especially among those under age 35. Still, many people find poetry unapproachable or worry if they don’t 9 (immediate) “get” a poem’s meaning. Edward Hirsch, author of How to Read a Poem: And Fall in Love with Poetry, advises reading a poem out loud a few times, discussing 10 with a friend and, most importantly, getting comfortable with a little ambiguity.
答案与解析
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了诗歌的历史定义以及作用等。
1.to preserve 考查非谓语动词。此处指人们背诵和吟唱诗篇的目的,应用不定式,故填to preserve。
2.oldest 考查最高级。根据空前的The world’s可知,此处指最古老的,应用形容词最高级,故填oldest。
3.composed 考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语is,故空处作非谓语,compose与The Epic of Gilgamesh之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语,故填composed。
4.With 考查介词。空后是名词短语,结合语境“有如此多的诗歌种类”可知此处指有,用介词With。
5.be defined 考查动词的语态。主语poetry与define之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且空前是情态动词can,故填be defined。
6.response 考查词形转换。空前是冠词an和形容词emotional,故填单数名词response。
7.A 考查冠词。study在文中第一次出现,应用不定冠词,2018是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用冠词a,位于句首首字母需大写,故填A。
8.has increased 考查动词的时态。句中时间状语是in recent years,故该句用现在完成时,故填has increased。
9.immediately 考查词形转换。空处修饰动词get,应用副词,故填immediately。
10.it 考查代词。空处作宾语,且代替前面提到的a poem,故用代词it。

读后续写 (校园趣事)
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。
Joey, once again, had taken his entire lunch plate and mixed all the food together. He did something like this pretty much every day at camp. “It’s an experiment,” he told the other campers. “Like what we do in class. It’s fun.” Joey was crazy about experiments, which usually consisted of taking one or more things, and combining them somehow, just like mixing all his food together. Joey would usually take a bite as part of the experiment, and would try to get the other kids at the table to try it too. However, almost nobody ever would like to. Joey’s experiments almost always tasted absolutely horrible.
Joey offered a bite of his unique lunch to the kids at his table. Eric, the only one who sometimes liked Joey’s experiments, decided to give it a try. But even he couldn’t eat more than a bite, which meant the table would lose their “wasted food challenge”—AGAIN.
As part of camp lunch, all the tables weighed their leftovers at the end of the meal. One by one, the tables would line up, empty their plates into a garbage can (垃圾桶), and then the garbage can would be weighed. Whichever table had the least amount of wasted food got to be first in line the next day at lunch. Whichever table had the most amount of wasted food had to stay and wash all the dishes. Each table had the same amount of campers, to be fair. The tables were each named after a different kind of tree. Joey’s table was the Scrub Pine table. Scrub Pine table had lost so many times that everyone laughed at them.
Everyone blamed Joey. He was always the one with the most leftovers. But Joey insisted it wasn’t his fault. He had a trick. Before each weighing, he always mashed up (捣烂) his mixture into the smallest ball possible. Almost everyone else’s plate was littered with uneaten food. Joey just had a ball in the corner of the plate.
Scrub Pine table had already washed dishes four days in a row, and it looked like it was about to be five.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请在相应位置作答。
So Eric decided to find a way to figure out whose fault it was.
One by one, Scrub Pine table each weighed their plates.

So Eric decided to find a way to figure out whose fault it was. He gathered the Scrub Pine table together and announced his plan: everyone would individually weigh their plates. The one who had the most amount of wasted food would wash all the dishes! The table erupted in surprise. Eager to finally know the truth, they readily nodded in agreement. Joey, taking a glimpse at the “tiny ball” in the corner of his plate, felt confident about his trick. The Scrub Pine table then lined up, Joey at the end of the line.
One by one, Scrub Pine table each weighed their plates. Joey’s heart began pounding as he watched each plate being carefully weighed. Finally, it was his turn. He stared hard at the scale, expecting to witness a miracle. The trick failed him. It was indeed his fault! Embarrassed and ashamed, Joey apologized to his table and began with the dishes. All the others came to help. Joey promised to change his ways. From that day on, he ate neat no more experiments. Scrub Pine table would win the “wasted food challenge” at last!
