The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch Suffering from cancer,Professor Randy Pausch gave one final lecture.In it,he described how to dream,how to overcome difficulties and how to live those dreams.This book,which takes readers on a journey of his ups and downs,is something everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.

A.The Last Lecture. B.When Shadows Fall. C.The Silver Chain. D.The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. 2.What do The Silver Chain and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants both focus on? A.Family and privacy. B.Growth and friendship. C.Struggle and magic. D.Traveling and adjustment. 3.This text is most probably intended for readers 　　　.  A.fascinated by adventure novels B.interested in books about teenagers C.seeking recommendations for inspiring reads D.planning a literary-themed trip around the world B (2025·江苏高三阶段练习) Decades ago,my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L.Hass,who was then her undergraduate literature professor.He instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason,he claimed,but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude.At some point,Caetlin recalls him saying,you’re going to be alone,and poetry is going to be all you have. If the task was a strange one,it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all.When I was in graduate school,working toward a degree in English literature,I mostly limited myself to prose(散文).It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle.For hours,I read nothing else but a poem.Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud,my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum.Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once,and sometimes I repeated a single stanza(诗节) over and over,and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast,I had the whole thing,all 40 lines of it,in my head.Because the process is as simple as it is very boring,memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime.The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has.But as you run your hands through the rock,the lines at last come together again,and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure,often a more valuable one than it was before. In other words,poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it.It can do so only because it is so specific,so entirely different from us,that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading,and that’s fine.I know that if I spend a little time with them,they’ll sing in me again.Others keep thumping in me like a new pulse.I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better,but it will make you more:more in touch with language,with other minds,maybe with what you might yet become. 4.Why did Robert L.Hass advise students to read poems? A.To become literature professors. B.To prepare for the coming exams. C.To compose more original poems. D.To relieve their future loneliness. 5.Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A.It’s out of date to recite poems. B.Repetition wastes a lot of time. C.Repetition spoils the poem’s beauty. D.It’s a shame to read poems on plane. 6.How does understanding poetry influence us? A.By broadening self-understanding. B.By refreshing our good memories. C.By helping us survive the hard life. D.By reminding us to forget the past. 7.What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A.Doubtful.　　　B.Appreciative. C.Dismissive. D.Critical. Ⅱ.七选五 I have a deep fondness for poetry—especially the memories of learning about haikus during my Grade Three classes.Poetry has the power to captivate.Here are three approaches to integrating poetry into your classroom. Combine poetry and art Poems often use a few words to create pictures,so they’re perfect to combine with art.　1　 Students can write a poem inspired by a piece of art or create a piece of art inspired by a poem,which can be especially effective when you’re looking at particular styles of art—abstract art or sculpture.  　2　 They can look at how poetry can be a part of public art or how words,colours and shapes can be combined to create something beautiful.  Create poetry displays Due to their shorter size,poems make wonderful subject for displays.There are a few ways you can display poetry in the classroom.For instance,if you write or explore poems on a particular theme,you can use that to create a display.Autumn poetry can be displayed on colourful trees made out of paper.　3　  Students can also use a display board to create their own poetry.　4　 They can also write lines of poetry to pin up on a board to continue a poem which is being written.  Explore poetry in songs Poetry and songs are two different forms of writing.　5　 They both use rhyme,rhythm and highly effective word choice to make you feel something.Students can also think about how already written songs could be set to music.  Take a moment to share some poetry with your students and open up a whole world of different rhythms,rhymes and pictures made out of words. A.This can be especially effective with songs. B.You can start with using one to inspire another. C.Beach poems can be written into a beach scene. D.But it’s not hard to see the similarities between them. E.Students can also combine poetry and art in one piece. F.They create poetry using pieces of paper with words on a board. G.Share some poetry with your students and open up a whole world.

Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍几本令人惊叹的书。 1.A　细节理解题。根据The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch中的“This book,which takes readers on a journey of his ups and downs,is something everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.”可知,患癌症的教授Randy Pausch写的The Last Lecture一书中描述了他的经历,也就是讲述了作者自己的故事。故选A项。 2.B　细节理解题。根据The Silver Chain by Jion Sheibani中的“Sixteen-year-old Azadeh seeks comfort in her violin playing while adjusting to a new school,struggling with friendships,and facing problems at home.”以及The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares中的“It is a delightful read that shows independence,the true meaning of friendship and the challenges of growing up.”可知,二者共同聚焦的是成长与友谊。故选B项。 3.C　推理判断题。根据全文可知,文章介绍了几本不同的书,并对书的内容亮点进行了阐述,目的很可能是给寻求鼓舞人心读物推荐的读者提供参考,而不是针对痴迷冒险小说的、对青少年相关书籍感兴趣的或者计划文学主题环球旅行的读者。故选C项。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过回忆自己和朋友Caetlin与诗歌的接触和经历,表达了对诗歌的热爱和对其价值的思考,同时也通过诗歌的背诵和感悟,表达了对生活、自我和成长的看法。 4.D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Decades ago,my friend Caetlin received...for their unavoidable future solitude.”可知,Hass建议学生阅读诗歌是为了让他们为未来不可避免的孤独时光做好准备。故选D项。 5.C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Because the process is as simple as it is very boring,memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime.The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has.”可知,重复的枯燥减少了诗歌原有的魅力,即破坏了诗歌的美。因此,作者说背诵诗歌一开始就像是一种罪行,是因为重复破坏了诗歌的美。故选C项。 6.A　细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“It can do so only because it is so specific,so entirely different from us,that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are.”可知,诗歌之所以能做到这一点,正是因为它极具特性,与我们截然不同,吸收它能让我们对自己的认知得以扩展,即理解诗歌可以通过拓宽自我认知来影响我们。故选A项。 7.B　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will...maybe with what you might yet become.”可知,作者对背诵诗歌持赞赏的态度。故选B项。 Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了老师如何把诗歌融入课堂。 1.B　根据该空下文“Students can write a poem inspired by a piece of art or create a piece of art inspired by a poem”可知,B项可引出下文。 2.E　本部分的标题“Combine poetry and art”是把诗歌和艺术结合在一起。该空上文讲述用诗歌激发艺术或用艺术激发诗歌。E项符合语境。 3.C　根据本段主题是“Create poetry displays”可知,本段介绍如何展示创作的诗歌。C项和该空前的“Autumn poetry can be displayed on colourful trees made out of paper.”构成并列关系。 4.F　根据上文“Students can also use a display board to create their own poetry.”可知,本段继续介绍创作展示诗歌的方法。 F项呼应上文。 5.D　根据上文“Poetry and songs are two different forms of writing.”可知,D项和上文构成转折关系。 Ⅲ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古典文学中的两本诗集——《诗经》和《楚辞》。 1.which　考查定语从句。“　　　 is the first work in the history marking the beginning of Chinese literature”是一个非限定性定语从句,修饰先行词The Book of Songs,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,应使用which引导。故填which。  2.collecting　考查非谓语动词。句子的主语It与collect之间是主动关系,需用现在分词作伴随状语。故填collecting。 3.used　考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语songs与use之间是被动关系,需用过去分词短语作后置定语。故填used。 4.was created　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。主语Chuci,or The Songs of Chu与create之间是被动关系,讲述过去的事情,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是专有名词,谓语用单数形式。故填was created。 5.the　考查冠词。此处特指“中国诗歌之父”,用定冠词the限定。故填the。 6.originally　考查副词。提示词修饰整个句子,用副词originally作状语,意为“起初,原本”。故填originally。 7.romantic　考查形容词。提示词修饰名词style,用形容词romantic作定语,意为“浪漫的”。故填romantic。 8.consisting　考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语Lisao与consist of之间是主动关系,需用现在分词表主动;且动词短语consist of无被动语态,作非谓语动词时只有现在分词形式。故填consisting。 9.influenced　考查时态的动词和语态。主语that(即先行词an outstanding example)与influence之间是主动关系,且描述的是过去发生的事情,用一般过去时。故填influenced。 10.on　考查介词。表示在具体的某一天,用介词on。故填on。 知识积累卡 一、1.孤独　2.怦怦直跳　3.迷住;使着迷 二、1.阅读;读物　阅读;朗读;读起来　2.理解;认同 与……有关 三、1.别住;钉住　2.纪念 四、1.如果这项任务很奇怪,那是因为在一个我们几乎都不接触诗歌的时代,背诵一首诗的行为会莫名透着一股复古的意味。 2.它也是深刻影响了古典文学的现实主义风格的一个杰出范例。 五、宾语　同位　宾语 我不会向你保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活变得更好,但它会让你得到更多:更贴近语言,更贴近其他思想,也许更接近你可能成为的人。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
