A.[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了诗
歌比赛相关信息。
l.A[细节理解题。根据Information中的“No entry fee
is required for the contest.(本次比赛无需报名费。)”可
知,诗歌比赛是一个免费的比赛。]
2.B[细节理解题。根据Rules中的“Properly spell out
all words and typing the first word of each line in capital
letter..(正确拼出所有单词,并将每行的第一个单词大
写。)”可知,每行只需第一个单词大写,用大写字母打整
首诗会导致取消比赛资格。」
3.D[细节理解题。根据Prizes中的“one hundred third
place winners of a third place gift certificate ($25.00
value).(100名三等奖得主将获得一张三等奖礼券(25
美元)。)”可知,三等奖得主会获得礼品券。]
B.[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。根据第一段中“He instructed each
student to memorize...poetry is going to be all you
have.(他指示每个学生从《诺顿美国文学选集》中背诵三
首诗,不是出于任何紧迫的学术原因,而是为他们不可
避免的未来孤独做准备,他声称你会孤独,而诗歌将是
你仅有的东西。)”可知,罗伯特教授让学生为潜在的孤
独背诵诗歌。]
5,A[细节理解题。根据第二段中“Memorizing a great
poem always begins as a crime.The boredom of repeti-
tion reduces the great charm it has.(背诵一首伟大的诗
总是始于一种‘罪过’。重复带来的无聊感削弱了它原
本的巨大魅力。)”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'”意为“换句话说”,说
明画线词所在句“In other words,poetry perpetuates it--
self by becoming a part of those who read it.(换句话说,
诗歌通过成为读者的一部分而
。)”是对前文意
思的再解读。前文“Memorizing a great poem always.,
one than it was before..”告诉我们,在不断重复的过程
中,无聊的诗歌会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
是指“使…延续、使…存活”,与“Keep something a-
live.”同义。]
7.C[推理判断题。根据最后一段“Iwon'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.
(我不会向你保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活更美好,但它
会让你更丰富:更能接触语言、接触他人的思想,也许还
能接触到你未来可能成为的样子。)”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。]
C.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新
的心理学研究指出了为什么我们觉得某些诗歌具有美学
吸引力的因素。

美学吸引力有着最强的联系。]
l0.A[推理判断题。根据最后一段中Starr的话“‘While
limited to poetry,'she adds,'our work sheds light into
which facts most influence our aesthetic judgments and
paves the way for future research investigating how we
make such judgments in other fields..’(‘虽然仅限于诗
歌,’她补充说,‘但我们的工作揭示了哪些事实最影响
我们的美学判断,并为未来研究我们在其他领域如何做

chology research points to the factors that explain why
we find particular poems aesthetically pleasing.(新的心
理学研究指出了为什么我们觉得某些诗歌具有美学吸

Decades ago,my friend Caetlin received a peculiar assignment from the poet Robert L.
Hass,who was then her undergraduate literature professor.He instructed each student to
memorize three poems from The Norton Anthology of American Literature not for any ur-
gent academic reason but to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude,claiming
that you're going to be alone,and poetry is going to be all you have.
英语7-1
The act of memorizing a poem seemed curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us
encounter poetry at all.I mostly devoted myself to prose().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 going through,sometimes repeating over and over.At the end
of my flight,I had all 40 lines in my head.Memorizing a great poem always begins as a
crime.The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has.But as you keep trying,
the lines finally come together again,and the scattered text transforms back into a treas-
ure,often a more valuable one than it was before.
In other words,poetry perpetuates itself by becoming a part of those who read it.It
can do so only because it is so specific,so entirely different,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 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.What did professor Robert assign his students to do?
A.Appreciate literature works.
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.

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 life better.
B.It leads to the pursuit of dream.
C.It expands our life properly.
D.It enriches our memory definitely.

New psychology research points to the factors that explain why we find particular po-
ems aesthetically pleasing."While it may seem obvious that individual taste matters in
judgments of poetry,we found certain factors consistently influence how much a poem will
be enjoyed.”
Aesthetics(),the basis of what we find appealing or not,play an important role
in our everyday lives.However,little is known about how we make these judgments.The
researchers sought to answer an age-old question-"Why do we like what we like?"-by
measuring what we find aesthetically pleasing in poetry.
To do this,the team had more than 400 participants read and rate poems of two genres-
haiku and sonnet-with the aim of understanding the factors that best predicted the aes-
thetic appeal of the poems.After reading each poem,participants answered questions
about the poem's vividness ("How vivid is the imagery evoked from this poem?"),emo-
tional arousal ("How relaxing or stimulating is this poem?"),emotional valence ("How
positive or negative is the content of this poem?"),and aesthetic appeal ("How enjoyable
or aesthetically appealing did you find this poem?").
英语7-2
Their results showed that vividness of mental imagery was the best predictor of aes-
thetic appeal-poems that evoked greater imagery were more pleasing.Emotional valence
also predicted aesthetic appeal,though to a lesser extent;specifically,poems that were
found to be more positive were generally found to be more appealing.By contrast,emo-
tional arousal did not have a clear relationship to aesthetic appeal.
"The vividness of a poem consistently predicted its aesthetic appeal,"notes Starr,au-
thor of Feeling Beauty:The Neuroscience of Aesthetic Experience."Therefore,it seems
that vividness of mental imagery may be a key factor influencing what we like more broad-
ly.”“While limited to poetry,”she adds,“our work sheds light into which facts most in-
fluence our aesthetic judgments and paves the way for future research investigating how we
make such judgments in other fields."
8.What did the researchers ask the participants to do?
A.Evaluate poems of haiku and sonnet.
B.Write the aesthetic appeal of poems.
C.Explain factors of emotional valence.
D.Ask questions about the poem's vividness.
9.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 4?
A.Poems with more negative content are more appealing.
B.Emotional arousal is negatively related to aesthetic appeal.
C.Emotional valence is the most important predictor of aesthetic appeal.
D.Vividness of mental imagery has the strongest connection with aesthetic appeal.
10.What can be inferred from Starr's words?
A.The research will help explore aesthetic judgments in other fields.
B.The finding of vividness being a key factor is only applicable to poetry.
C.Emotional valence should be further studied in the context of other art forms.
D.The research has little value for understanding aesthetic judgments in other areas.
11.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To introduce different types of poems.
B.To discuss the importance of aesthetics.
C.To show the findings of aesthetic appeal.
D.To persuade people to admire the poems.

Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime.She was known around
the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.
Her poems described conditions in the black community.She also wrote poems about
the struggles of black women.But her skill was more than her ability to write about strug-
gling black people.She was an expert at the language of poetry.She combined traditional
European poetry styles with the African American experience.
In her early poetry,Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago,where
many black people live.In her poems,the South Side is called Bronzeville.It was A Street

called Annie Allen.Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl
as a daughter,a wife and mother.She experiences loneliness,loss,death and being poor.
Ms.Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.
英语7-3
Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha,which received little
notice when it was first published.But now it is considered an important work by some
critics.Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female
writers today.
In some of her poems Gwendolyn Brooks described what people see in life is affected
by who they are.One example is this poem,Corners on the Curing Sky.
By the end of the 1960s,Gwendolyn Brooks'poetry expanded from the everyday expe-
riences of people in Bronzeville.She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important
political issues.

Writing poetry is a way to convey emotions,memories,and homesickness without di-
些
rectly stating what you are describing.1.If you're considering trying your hand at
writing poetry or are looking to improve,here are some tips to help you get going.
2
People like Emily Dickinson,Edgar Alan Poe,Robert Frost,and Walt Whitman all
changed the way people perceive and write poetry.Look up some poems by famous writers
to see what you like and what you don't like about each of them.Langston Hughes,Maya
Angelou,and Sylvia Plath are also famous poets that have varying styles.You can also see
some examples of different styles and tones in poetry by comparing and contrasting au-
thors.
烯
Get in tune with your emotions.
3.You can easily add emotions into your poetry if you understand what you are
feeling throughout the day.Try to note whenever you are feeling a strong emotion and
what made you feel it.Understanding your own emotions can be difficult.Try to explore
how you feel on a daily basis,and what situations disturb your mood often.4 So they
are a great tool to be used in poetry.
Set aside time to write every day.
The only way to get better at writing poetry is to practice it.Try to write poetry for at
least 10 minutes a day,or more if you have time.5
A.Your first poem can be short
B.People feel emotions universally
C.A lot of poetry is filled with feelings
D.Read famous poems as examples to follow
E.Use descriptive language to convey emotions
F.Write about anything that you are inspired by
G.However,writing poetry for the first time can be challenging
