Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When I was young, strong heroes in my favorite novels gave me courage and provided a map for my life.And I didn't discover the power of poetry until I was in my twenties and making my way in New York.That's when life got serious and broke my heart.
A teacher who later became a dear friend introduced me to Edna St.Vincent Milly (ESVM), the famous poet who lived in Manhattan at the turn of the 20th century.One of my favorite possessions— a valuable firstedition copy of ESVM's short poetry collection A Few Figs from Thistles—was a gift from this friend who was old enough to be my mother at the time.She told me the first “fig” described how I was living my life.My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my enemies, and oh,my friends—it gives a lovely night!
I was struggling to make ends meet but always made the time for fun by hanging out with friends.Some of them of course were careless with my heart but I could always find comfort and courage in ESVM's wise words.
Rather than bore my friends, I could fall into my sorrow—whenever it hit me—and cry as much as I wanted in my bedroom.I found everything I needed in those 32 pages—hope, wisdom and encouragement.In the years since, I've found myself attracted to poetry whenever someone caused me pain.
Is it actually possible for something as common as a poem to save a life? I'm not certain of that but I can prove the power of words.Like a relaxing walk outside, poetry can provide a healthy distraction and a meaningful change in perspective.
Like music, poetry speaks a universal language of rhythm, and speaks truths in a language that describes emotions.So why not keep interested in poems?

解析 D 推理判断题。根据第二段可知这位老师向作者介绍了著名诗人Edna St.Vincent Milly (ESVM),而且作者还收到了这位老师兼朋友送的礼物(《荆棘丛中的几颗无花果》)。因此推断这位老师关心作者。故选D。
3.How does the author probably tend to deal with her pain now?
A.By losing herself in poetry.
B.By hanging out with friends.
C.By staying in the bedroom.
D.By taking a relaxing walk outside.

B
Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people.In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America.In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud.It is true that there was no television at that time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversions.However, poems were a source of pleasure, of selfeducation, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one's own community.Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual.Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves.Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem.Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavourable to the reading of poetry.Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficulttoread things belonged.
Poets failed the reader, so did teachers.They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem; they want their students to see that poems mean something.Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
[语篇解读] 说明文。十九世纪人们经常围坐在炉火旁读诗,但现在人们为什么不那么热爱诗歌了?作者分析了其中的原因。

A.It built a link among people.
B.It helped unite a community.
C.It was a source of selfeducation.
D.It was a source of pleasure.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, poems were a source of pleasure, of selfeducation, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one's own community.Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual.”可知,朗读诗歌在人们之间建立了一种联系。故选A。
6.What does the underlined word “diversions” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Stories. B.Changes.
C.Amusements. D.Concentrations.
解析 C 词义猜测题。根据前面的“television”“movie theatres”和“World Wide Web”可知,这些都是消遣的娱乐形式,故可推知画线词义为“消遣、娱乐”。故选C。
7.What is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A.Students are poorly educated in high school.
B.Poems have become difficult to understand.
C.Students are becoming less interested in poetry.
D.TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
解析 B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的 “...that they belonged where other difficulttoread things belonged.”和最后一段中的“that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles”可推知,对于读者来说,诗歌已经变得难以理解。故选B。
8.What does the author try to tell us by writing the text?
A.The history and changes of poetry.
B.The correct way for teachers to teach poetry.
C.The failure of poetry in people's life nowadays.

Ⅱ.七选五
How to appreciate poems
Read poems aloud several times.Poems are meant to be heard as well as read on the page.Take the time to read the poem aloud and pay attention to how the words sound.__1__
Look for literary devices like metaphors,similes,and personification.A metaphor compares two things to each other.__2__A simile compares two things using “like” or “as”.For example,“My love is like a flaming(火红色的) sun.”Both literary devices are used often in poems to create strong imagery for the reader.Personification is when an inanimate(无生命的)object is given human qualities.It is often used in poems about nature and technology to add deeper meaning to the subject.
Check for repetition and rhyme in the poem.Poets will use repetition,where the same word or phrase is repeated more than once,to emphasize it and let readers know it is important.__3__You can also look at rhyme in the poem to find deeper meaning.Think about how the rhymes give the poem structure.
__4__Look for poetry readings at local cafes.Check if a poet you like is performing at a venue(活动场地)in your area and go to see them read.Live poetry readings are a great way to experience poetry as entertainment that you watch and listen to.
Start a poetry reading group.Another way to broaden your appreciation of poems is to create a reading group where you read and discuss poetry.__5__Make the meetings informal and casual(随意的)so everyone feels comfortable.Print out different poems for discussion and take turns reading the poems aloud.
A.Look for recordings of the poem online.
B.Go to a live poetry reading in your area.
C.For example,“My love is a red,red rose.”
D.Ask friends,family,teachers,and classmates to join the group.
E.Then,show them to family or friends and ask them what they think.
F.Try reading it aloud several times to deepen your understanding of it.
G.Check for repeated words in the poem and consider how they relate to the subject of the poem.
[语篇解读] 说明文。作者给出了如何鉴赏诗歌的建议。
1.解析 F 设本文是空处是对上文的补充说明。根据该段主题句“Read poems aloud several times.”可知,该段内容主要与大声朗读诗歌相关,设空处应该与此主题相关,F项“反复大声朗读诗歌有助于加深你对诗歌的理解”符合此处语境,且F项中reading和aloud分别与上文中的Read和aloud构成原词复现关系。
2.解析 C 设空处与上文构成例证关系。根据上文中的“A metaphor compares two things to each other.”可知,这里介绍了一种名为“暗喻”的写作手法,C项“例如,‘我的爱是一朵红玫瑰’”举例说明了这种写作手法,符合此处语境。
3.解析 G 设空处承接上文。根据上文中的“Poets will use repetition...let readers know it is important.”可知,诗人会在诗歌中运用重复这种写作手法,设空处应与这种写作手法相关,故G项“查看诗歌中重复的词语并找出它们与诗歌主题的相关联”符合此处语境,且G项中repeated和poem分别与上文中的repetition,repeated和poem构成原词复现关系。
4.解析 B 设空处是对下文的概括总结。根据下文的内容可知,该段主要介绍了去现场听诗人朗诵诗歌的方法,故B项符合此处语境,是该段的主题句,且B项中的“live poetry reading”与下文中的“Live poetry readings”构成原词复现关系。
5.解析 D 设空处承上启下。根据上文中的“Another way to broaden your appreciation of poems is to create a reading group where you read and discuss poetry.”和下文中的“Make the meetings informal and casual so everyone feels comfortable.”可知,另一种可以增强你的诗歌欣赏能力的方法是创建一个阅读小组,在那里你可以阅读和讨论诗歌,你还要让这个诗歌小组随意一些,这样每个组员都会感到自在,设空处应该与诗歌小组的成员有关,故D项“邀请朋友、家人、老师和同学加入小组”符合此处语境。D项中的group与上文中的group为原词复现关系。
Ⅲ.语法填空
Poetry is a 1. (combine) of “sound” and “sense”, which usually implies a deeper meaning.If you want to reveal the hidden dimension, the following suggestions should 2. (adopt).
First, even if a poem's true meaning appears to be 3. your grasp, you can always say something about 4. it sounds when you read it aloud.Second, approach the poem as if you were an explorer in an unfamiliar landscape.Ask some basic questions about the poem, such as 5. is talking and who is being talked to and so on.Third, be 6. (patience) if you are struggling to interpret the meaning of a poem.Poems that 7. (constant) reveal deeper and previously unrecognized meanings are more interesting.Finally, you might need to abandon logical thinking to discover the poem's true inner beauty.It is worth 8. (make) efforts to perceive another level of meaning.
Only in these 9. (way) can you enjoy your journey in the world of poetry.Poetry makes you see the world in a new way and allows you 10. (go) beyond normal reality for the everlasting beauty.
[语篇解读] 说明文。文章主要介绍了如何轻松而透彻地理解诗歌。
1.解析 combination 考查名词。句意:诗歌是“声”与“意”的结合体,通常隐含着更深的含义。短语a combination of表示“……的结合体”。故填combination。
2.解析 be adopted 考查动词的语态。句意:如果想要揭示隐藏的维度,应该采用以下建议。主语与谓语构成被动关系,且should后跟动词原形。故填be adopted。
3.解析 beyond 考查介词。句意:首先,即使一首诗的真正含义似乎超出了你的理解范围,当你大声朗读它的时候,你总是可以说出一些它听起来是怎样的。短语beyond one's grasp表示“超出某人理解范围”。故填beyond。
4.解析 how 考查宾语从句。句意:首先,即使一首诗的真正含义似乎超出了你的理解范围,当你大声朗读它的时候,你总是可以说出一些它听起来是怎样的。引导宾语从句,表示“如何”用how。故填how。
5.解析 who 考查宾语从句。句意:问一些关于这首诗的基本问题,比如谁在说话,谁在和谁说话等等。引导宾语从句,缺少主语,指人,用who。故填who。
6.解析 patient 考查形容词。句意:第三,如果你正在努力解释一首诗的意思,要有耐心。作表语,表示“耐心的”,用形容词patient。故填patient。
7.解析 constantly 考查副词。句意:不断揭示更深层次和以前未被认识到的含义的诗歌更有趣。修饰动词reveal应用副词constantly。故填constantly。
8.解析 making 考查非谓语动词。句意:去感知另一层次的意义是值得努力的。短语be worth doing sth表示“值得做某事”。故填making。
9.解析 ways 考查名词的数。句意:只有这样,你才能享受你在诗歌世界中的旅程。way“方法”是可数名词,根据上文these可知用复数。故填ways。
10.解析 to go 考查非谓语动词。句意:诗歌让你以一种新的方式看待世界,让你超越正常的现实,寻找永恒的美。短语allow sb to do sth 表示“允许某人做某事”。故填to go。
