The London Film Festival London，UK in October/November Top prize：Non­competitive History：The London Film Festival started in 1956 when a group of film critics led by the famous Dilys Powell，the film critic for The Sunday Times，got together over dinner.They discussed the festivals at Cannes and Venice，and they agreed that London needed one，too.They wanted to give people the opportunity to see films from around the world that were not being shown in the cinemas.The first festival showed 20 films at the National Film Theatre on the South Bank.

[语篇解读]　这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些电影节的相关细节，并且对其发展史以及相关的获奖情况进行了说明。 1．The Venice Film Festival . A．didn't attract many people at first B．has been running longer than any other film festival C．is regarded as the most essential film festival D．has been held every year since 1934 解析　细节理解题。根据第二个History部分的内容“The Venice Film Festival is the oldest film still in existence.(威尼斯电影节是现存最古老的电影。)”可知，威尼斯电影节的历史最悠久。故选B。 答案　B 2．What was the purpose of the London Film Festival at the beginning? A．To make some films public. B．To bring film critics together. C．To choose the best original feature films. D．To compete with other film festivals. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三个History部分的内容“The London Film Festival started in 1956...They wanted to give people the opportunity to see films from around the world...(伦敦电影节始于1956年，……他们想让人们有机会看到不在电影院上映的世界各地的电影……)”可知，在1956年一些电影评论家希望伦敦也有电影节，希望人们有机会看到没有在电影院播放的世界各地的电影。故选A。 答案　A 3．What does the underlined word “screening” in the last paragraph mean? A．producing　　　　　 B．watching C．judging D．showing 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的部分“The festival is one of Europe's largest public film events(这个电影节是欧洲最大的公共电影活动之一)”和画线词后的部分“about 280 films from 60 countries(来自60个国家的280部电影)”以及上文“The first festival showed 20 films at the National Film Theatre on the South Bank.(第一次电影节在南岸的国家电影院放映了20部电影。)”可知“screening”的意思是是“放映，播放”。故选D。 答案　D B I am in seventh­grade language arts class in an upstairs room in the old red­brick junior high school building.The afternoon sun streams through high windows that face the playground.It is the day I remember hearing this phrase for the first time：“the little/lame balloonman.” It's from “in Just”，the E．E.Cummings poem we are reading.Mr.Katz is trying to loosen up our adolescent imaginations to the point where we might appreciate figurative language.There are phrases like Abe world is mud­/luscious，and then “puddle­wonderful”．Something begins to grow in me as a reader：the mixture of descriptive words and words expressing action. Words would be and do what they describe! I'd like to think Mr.Katz was conspiring with the poem，sun，spring and kid energy，not just a lesson plan.From then on，I was a new reader and writer.I look back on that poem as a starting line，I heard the call to poetry. I would see “in Just” in nearly every poem in my language arts life.It was in my very old “A Pocket Book of Modern Verse”，edited by Oscar Williams and in “An Approach to Poetry”，by X．J Kennedy.I began to understand that a poet is describing the world，experience，or concepts in a way that antidotes dullness，commonness，and indifference.“Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another，” Robert Frost explained. Reading' poems became a daily practice.I collect my own favorite expressions of life's joys and sufferings.I'm fond of Billy Collins' view：“The history of poetry is the only surviving history we have of human emotion.It is the history of the human heart.There is no other one.” The special poems always lead me back to my memory of a sunny classroom，in junior high school when Mr.Katz carefully brought us into a new field—a moment that got me out of middle school mundanity.Even the dance on Friday and my drum lesson on Wednesday afternoon paled in comparison.I was addicted to poetry. [语篇解读]　这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章中作者回忆起自己初中时上Katz先生的语言艺术课，产生了对诗歌的喜爱，在之后的日子里作者阅读各位名家的诗歌，读诗成了每天的练习。作者沉迷于诗歌。 4．What is Mr.Katz trying to do in his class? A．Fire up students' interest in poetry. B．Finish his lesson plan on time. C．Teach students to write poems. D．Use great words to express himself. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mr.Katz is trying to loosen up our adolescent imaginations to the point where we might appreciate figurative language.(Katz先生试图释放我们青少年的想象力，让我们能够欣赏比喻性语言。)”以及第三段中“I'd like to think Mr.Katz was conspiring with the poem，sun，spring and kid energy，not just a lesson plan.(我想Katz先生像是在与诗歌、阳光、春天和孩子的活力密谋，而不仅仅是完成一个教学计划。)”可知，Katz先生在课堂上想激发学生对诗歌的兴趣。故选A。 答案　A 5．What does Robert Frost think of poetry? A．It makes the theme obvious. B．It talks about practical concepts. C．It carries underlying meaning. D．It allows dullness and commonness. 解析　推理判断题。根据“Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another(诗歌提供了一种表达一件事和意义是另一件事的方式)”可推知，罗伯特·弗罗斯特认为诗歌有潜在的含义。故选C。 答案　C 6．How did the author find his/her middle school? A．The dance on Friday was quite boring. B．The language arts lesson was incomparable. C．The school life remained generally the same. D．The drum lesson on Wednesday was a piece of cake. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The special poems always lead me back to my memory of a sunny classroom，in junior high school when Mr.Katz carefully brought us into a new field—a moment that got me out of middle school mundanity.(这些特别的诗总是把我带回我对初中一间阳光明媚的教室的记忆，当时卡茨先生小心翼翼地把我们带到了一个新的领域——这一刻让我走出了中学的平庸。)”可知，语言艺术课的美妙，把作者带回了中学时代，它是无可比拟的。故选B。 答案　B 7．What's the best title of the article? A．My junior school life B．Mr.Katz's arts language lessons C．My language arts life D．My love of poetry 解析　主旨大意题。根据第三段中“From then on，I was a new reader and writer.I look back on that poem as a starting line，I heard the call to poetry.(从那时起，我成为了一个新的读者和作家。我回想起那首诗作为起跑线，我听到了诗的呼唤。)”结合文章中作者回忆起自己初中时上Katz先生的语言艺术课，产生了对诗歌的喜爱，在之后的日子里作者阅读各位名家的诗歌，读诗成了每天的练习。作者沉迷于诗歌。故“我对诗歌的热爱”最符合文章标题，故选D。 答案　D Ⅱ.七选五 In China，poetry is an important part of the curriculum and，with recent changes announced by the Ministry of Education，the number of poems students will have to memorize and recite is being increased from fourteen to seventy­two.Now，before you gasp in horror，let's think about the reasons why studying so many poems，especially ancient poems，is important. First of all，poetry is an essential part of traditional Chinese culture. 1 It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and emotions that are common to everyone but which we may be unable to express－the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon，for example.Everyone has feelings of joy，love，loneliness，sadness and even anger. 2 3 In a few short lines，even something commonplace can become beautiful.Here is a poem called “Fog” by Carl Sandberg：The fog comes/on silent haunches (弓腰蹲着)/and then moves on.Yes，fog does move smoothly，silently and mysteriously like a cat，and Sandberg captures that feeling and image，and makes it beautiful. 4 After all，a poem is really just a song without music.Most ancient poetry，especially Western poetry，was actually spoken before it was written.Take Homer's Iliad，for example.The story was apparently told for hundreds of years in palaces and on street corners before Homer wrote it down. The American poet Robert Frost said，“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” And poems are very concise－there is not a wasted word. 5 A．Few people read it for pleasure. B．Poems can also express beauty. C．Poetry is difficult to recite. D．Of course，to really appreciate poetry，it has to be read aloud. E．You are lucky that you now have seventy­two poems to learn! F．It is a pathway to understanding your history and your society. G．A good poem can put those emotions into words and bring us self­understanding. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学习中国诗歌特别是中国古典诗歌重要性的原因。 1．F　设空句的下一句是“It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and emotions...(这也是理解思想和情感的关键)”，其中的also提示上句与此句语义属于同类，句中的understanding是关键词，选项F中具有同样的关键词，且语义“这是了解你们的历史和社会的途径。”与下句属同类排比，选项F切题，故选F。 2．G　设空句上一句为“Everyone has feelings of joy，love，loneliness，sadness and even anger.(每个人都有喜悦、爱、孤独、悲伤甚至愤怒的感情。)”句中feelings是关键词，选项G中的emotions是它的近义词，且选项G语义：一首好诗能把这些情感变成文字，带给我们对自我的认知。能够承接上文，符合语境，选项G切题，故选G。 3．B　设空句为段首句，总领全段，是这段的主旨大意句。根据后文可知，这段中心意思是诗歌赋予了平常事物美丽的意境。选项B诗歌也可以表达美。能够概括本段大意，切题，故选B。 4．D　设空句为段首句，总领全段，要能概括本段中心大意。根据后文可知，本段中心大意是诗歌就像是没有曲子的歌，先有了口口相传，才有了文字展现。既然是歌当然要通过声音来欣赏，选项D当然，要真正欣赏诗歌，必须大声朗读。符合这段中心大意，切题，故选D。 5．E　设空句为文章的末句，要总结全文。在文章第一段有：学生必须记忆和背诵的诗歌数量从十四首增加到七十二首。文章在介绍了学习诗歌为什么重要后，告诉读者，学习诗歌多多益善。选项E中的seventy­two poems呼应文章开头，其语义：你很幸运，你现在有七十二首诗要学！总结全文，切题，故选E。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
