B.Write poems to avoid future solitude. C.Recite poems for potential loneliness. D.Memorize poems for academic reasons. 5.Why does the author say memorizing a poem begins as a crime？（　　） A.Repetition makes poems boring. B.It’s a way to kill time on the plane. C.The author preferred prose to poetry. D.People hardly encountered poetry then. 6.What does the underlined word “perpetuates” in paragraph 3 mean？（　　） A.Make something famous. B.Keep something alive. C.Make something beautiful. D.Keep something special. 7.How does the author understand memorizing poetry？（　　） A.It makes our lives better. B.It leads to the pursuit of dream. C.It expands our lives properly. D.It enriches our memories definitely. C 　　Who among us hasn’t weighed up the value of attending an event that required a long commute （通勤）， or found themselves in a bad mood due to being stuck in traffic？ But while it’s obvious that some activities will bring us joy and others only frustration， translating this understanding into data that can help guide policy decisions has historically proved difficult. 　　It’s what Dr.Christian Krekel and Dr.George MacKerron have been exploring.They propose a new method for estimating the Value of Time （VOT） and calculate （计算）， for the first time， VOTs for a wide range of common activities such as walking， commuting and socialising.Through an app called Mappiness， they can ask people about their happiness randomly throughout the day and record how they are actually feeling in that moment while doing something or being somewhere.With data from over 30，000 people around the UK， the researchers were able to identify how people felt when carrying out 42 daily activities and calculate a monetary （货币的） value for each activity. 　　Interestingly，“waiting or queuing” was found to have a strong and significant negative impact on happiness， ranking as the third least enjoyable activity.The VOT shows that spending 60 minutes waiting is found to be worth ￡12.20 per hour， commuting ￡8.40 per hour， and waiting during commuting， a huge ￡17.20 per hour.These high costs suggest that respondents would be better off spending their time doing something else.Or， as Dr.Krekel says， “Someone who is waiting for 60 minutes would need to be paid ￡12.20 to achieve the same level of happiness if they were not waiting.” 　　This new method of calculating VOT allows researchers to measure the benefits of funding time-saving facilities， helping policymakers to make informed decisions over where best to spend money.By showing how impactful waiting and commuting are on the population， the research makes a strong case for funding projects that would reduce the time people spend doing these activities and promote the wellbeing of all who stand to benefit. 8.Why does the author mention two situations in paragraph 1？（　　） A.To present a fact. B.To introduce the topic. C.To explain the issue. D.To compare the differences. 9.The researchers estimated the VOTs through 　　　　.（　　） A.random surveys B.calculated case studies C.on-site observations D.face-to-face interviews 10.Which of the following might have the highest VOT according to the research？（　　） A.Commuting to school on a bus for thirty minutes. B.Waiting for a coffee for nearly one hour at a café. C.Spending two hours shopping with a friend at a mall. D.Being stuck in traffic for an hour on the way to work. 11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？（　　） A.The appeal for future studies. B.The challenges of the project. C.The application of the research. D.The improvement of the method. D 　　A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images， emotions and themes. 　　In a recent experiment， the researchers tasked OpenAI’s ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous poets， then presented 1，634 participants with ten poems — five human-written and five chatbot-generated — and assessed how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities， including rhythm and originality.Interestingly， they tended to rate the AI-generated poems higher on average， suggesting a preference for their straightforwardness and clarity. 　　Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear， but the researchers’ best guess is that the AI poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend.“Emily Dickinson sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme （韵律） on purpose，” says Brian Porter， a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh. “But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once.” Besides， modern readers don’t seem to want to bother themselves to read deep to think critically.Instead， they prefer texts giving them instant answers.“When readers say they prefer AI poetry， they would seem to be showing their frustration when faced with writing that does not yield to their attention，” he adds. 　　While the findings raise concerns about AI potentially replacing human artists and putting them out of work one day， Dorothea Lasky， the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments， says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems.“Poetry will always be necessary，” says Lasky. “If they read AI poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem， then that， to me， is beautiful.They have a good experience with a poem， and I don’t care who wrote it.I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” 　　This study provided a platform for the intersection of technology and creativity， prompting reflection on the future of poetry and artistic expression. 12.Why did the researchers conduct the experiment？（　　） A.To create a technique. B.To clarify a concept. C.To detail an example. D.To confirm a finding. 13.What does the example of Emily Dickinson imply？（　　） A.Robots are more complicated than humans. B.AI meets modern readers’ reading preference. C.Chatbot is trained to write in creative patterns. D.Classic poetry lacks unique charming features. 14.Which belief does Dorothea Lasky have about poetry？（　　） A.All flowers bloom together. B.No dish suits all tastes. C.It’s no use crying over spilt milk. D.Time and tide wait for no man. 15.What can be a suitable title for the text？（　　） A.Will Poets Be Lost in AI Era？ B.ChatGPT： a New Advancement C.Fake or Real — a Concern about AI D.ChatGPT or Dickinson， Who Is Better？ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 　　There tend to be two types of teachers when it comes to poetry： Ones who love it and bring it into the classroom freely and often.Then， others stay clear.16.（　　） If the love is not there yet， I challenge you to try it！ Here are several reasons to teach poetry in the classroom. 　　Build Reading， Speaking & Listening Skills 　　Why teach poetry？ Children need to learn to read various texts， and poems are one of those forms.The unique thing about poetry is that we often read aloud， repeat often， and share in groups.When children listen to poems orally， they are building their listening skills.17.（　　） When sharing poems in a classroom， look at them and read them together.Children strengthen their reading skills and build reading fluency through repeated reading. 　　Inspire Poetry Writing 　　Teach how poems are constructed and the words they contain.It is the first step to writing.18.（　　） We learn how to choose the right words to create imagery and effect.The simple patterns found in some poems are fun to follow and great places for children to start learning to write. 　　19.（　　） 　　Poetry is a form of expression.Writing lets us express our feelings and thoughts on a subject， while reading encourages us to connect and find meaning in our experiences.Poetry can have a positive impact on children’s social and emotional learning.It may offer them a new way of thinking about something. 　　Build a Love for Reading 　　Expose children to various styles and types of text as they learn to read.As teachers， we want them to love the act of reading and what they read as they learn.Reading can be hard work， and the books children learn first often lack that unique ingredient.Poetry is different.20.（　　） Poems provide enjoyment and laughter.They are engaging and fun to read！ A.Encourage Creative Thinking B.Explore Language and Vocabulary C.Poetry offers a memorable and motivational way to teach. D.It has that special sauce that children long for and so much more！ E.Poetry teaches us how to combine words to form meaning and context. F.They learn to attend to the words they hear and think about what they mean together. G.This may be because they don’t think it fits with the curriculum and what they are teaching. 5 / 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ UNIT 5　POEMS Section Ⅰ　Reading and Thinking （1） Ⅰ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了Ololo农场的旅游套餐信息。 1.B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，游客可以在Ololo农场了解耕作方法。 2.C　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，Ololo农场的特别之处在于它使用天然肥料。 3.C　数字计算题。根据Price部分可知，16岁以上的人每人30美元，5－16岁的孩子每人19美元。因此，一对夫妇和一个13岁的孩子共需支付79美元。 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了教授让学生为未来可能的孤独背诵诗歌，作者分享自己背诗的经历，探讨了背诵诗歌的意义。 4.C　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，罗伯特教授让学生为未来可能的孤独背诵诗歌。 5.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的The boredom of repetition ... it has.可知，作者说背诵诗歌始于一种罪过是因为重复让诗歌变得无聊。 6.B　词义猜测题。In other words说明画线词所在句是对上文意思的再解读。上文告诉我们，在不断重复的过程中，无聊的诗歌又重新变成了一件珍宝，比以前更有价值，换句话说，说明诗歌通过被背诵而成为读者的一部分，进而价值得以延续。由此推知，画线词perpetuates指“使……延续、使……存活”，与Keep something alive.同义。 7.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可推知，作者认为背诵诗歌能让生活更丰富，能适当地拓展我们的生活。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员通过应用程序收集数据算出多种日常活动的时间价值，发现等待或排队对幸福感有负面影响，该方法能助力政策制定者的相关决策。 8.B　推理判断题。文章第一段先提到这两种日常生活中常见的与时间利用和感受相关的场景，再指出将人们对不同活动的感受转化为数据，进而指导政策决策很困难。由此推知，作者提到这两种情况是为了引出文章的主题。 9.A　细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知，研究人员通过随机调查估算了时间价值。 10.D　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，在上班路上堵车一小时属于通勤期间的等待，其时间价值最高。 11.C　段落大意题。最后一段围绕该研究在实际决策和项目资金支持方面的应用展开，即介绍了研究成果在现实中的应用。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们简单明了的图像、情感和主题。 12.D　推理判断题。根据第一段内容可推知，研究人员进行这项实验的目的是确认一个发现——人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌。 13.B　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推知，Emily Dickinson的例子暗示了人工智能满足现代读者的阅读偏好——人们喜欢简单明了的内容。 14.A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Dorothea Lasky所说的话可知，无论是机器人还是人写诗，只要写出好的诗歌便是好的。由此可推知，他认为诗歌写作应该是百花齐放。 15.D　标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究：人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们简单明了的图像、情感和主题。因此D项（ChatGPT或Dickinson，谁更好？）适合作文章标题。 Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了教授诗歌的原因和意义。 16.G　根据上文可知，下文要讲回避的原因。G项（这可能是因为他们认为这不符合课程和他们所教的内容）符合语境。 17.F　根据上文可知，本段介绍读诗歌的过程以及听诗歌的益处。F项（他们学会关注他们听到的单词，并思考它们连在一起的意思）符合语境，描述孩子们听到诗歌的场景，进一步说明听诗歌的好处。 18.E　上文介绍写诗的第一步是词语与结构，下文介绍如何选择合适的词创建场景和效果。E项（诗歌教会我们如何将字词组合起来，形成意义和语境）承上启下，符合语境。 19.A　根据下文可知，本段主要介绍诗歌是一种情感思想的表达方式，它可以提供一种新的思考方式。A项（鼓励创造性思维）与段落中心相符，文章关键词thinking about something与A项中的Creative Thinking一致。 20.D　根据下文可知，诗歌提供快乐和笑声，D项（它有孩子们渴望的特殊酱汁，还有更多！）与下文意义相同，符合语境。 5 / 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
