友情提醒:动词-ing和动词-ed形式(短语)作状语的附着规则:使用分词(短语)作句子状语时,有一条规则必须遵守:动词-ing和动词-ed形式(短语)的逻辑主语应当与句子的主语一致,否则句子就是错句(又叫做垂悬分词)。
①_______ from the top of the tower, the south foot of the mountain is a sea of trees.
A. Seen B. Seeing C. Have seen D. To see
【答案】A
【解析】此处是非谓语动词做状语,逻辑主语是句子的主语,非谓语动词与逻辑主语是被动关系,用过去分词。答案A。句意:从这座塔顶上看,这座山南边的脚下是一片树的海洋。对比:Seeing from the top of the tower, we can see that the south foot of the mountain is a sea of trees.
②Faced with a bill for $10,000, _______.
A. an extra job has been given to John B. the boss has given John an extra job
C. an extra job has been taken D. John has taken an extra job
【答案】D
【解析】根据“分词作状语其逻辑主语应与句子主语一致”的原则,只有D项才对。因为“Faced with a bill for $ 10,000”是动词-ed形式短语作状语,其逻辑主语与句子主语一致,因此句子的主语与(be)faced with的逻辑主语一致,主句的主语应该是欠钱的约翰。句意:面对一万美元的账单,约翰找了份额外的工作,故选D。句意:面对1万美元的账单,约翰找了份额外的工作。
但是已经成为固定用法的分词(短语)不需要遵守这条附着规则。常见的有:
considering…(鉴于/考虑到……) judging by/from…(从……来看,依据……来判断)
personally speaking就我个人而言 generally一般说来
frankly speaking坦白地说
以下已经变成了介词(短语):
according to…(依据……) given…(考虑到……)
including…(包括……) regarding关于,至于
owing to…(由于……)
一、单项选择
1. We were all ________ by the number of athletes in the stadium ________ for the gold medal.
A. amazed, competed B. amazing, competed
C. amazing, competing D. amazed, competing
【答案】D
【解析】句意:体育场里为金牌而竞争的运动员数量让我们所有人都感到惊讶。第一空修饰人“we”,需用形容词“amazed”表示“感到惊讶的”,强调人的感受;“amazing”修饰事物,表“令人惊讶的”,故排除B、C选项。第二空为非谓语动词作后置定语,名词“athletes”与动词“compete”是主动关系,需用动词-ing形式,故选D。
2. ________ in the distance, they were astonished to see misty clouds ________ from the great Niagara Falls, which is on the south side of the lake.
A. Stand, rose B. Standing, rose C. Stand, rising D. Standing, rising
【答案】D
【解析】句意:他们站在远处,惊愕地看到尼亚加拉大瀑布上升起缭绕的云雾,瀑布位于湖泊的南侧。第一空为非谓语,stand“站立”和they逻辑上是主动关系,因此用stand的动词-ing形式,作状语;第二空作宾语补足语,rise“上升”和misty clouds逻辑上是主动关系,因此用rise的动词-ing形式,表示动作正在进行,故选D。
3. ________ at the test paper, he felt ________ about why he made so many mistakes.
A. To stare, panic B. Stare, impressive C. Staring, frightened D. Staring, confused
【答案】D
【解析】句意:盯着试卷,他对自己为什么犯了这么多错感到困惑。分析句子可知,第一空:句子的主语是“he”,谓语是“felt”。前半部分没有连词,因此“stare”必须用非谓语形式。“he”与“stare”(盯着看)之间是主动关系(他主动盯着试卷看),所以要用动词-ing形式Staring 作伴随状语。第二空:felt 是系动词,后面接形容词作表语。句子后半部分提到“why he made so many mistakes”
(为什么犯了这么多错)。所以为形容词confused“感到困惑的;糊涂的”,故选D。
4. ________ adequate funds for the restoration project, the museum authorities are now considering ________ public donations.
A. Not having secured, launching B. Not securing, to launch
C. Having not secured, launching D. Having not secured, to launch
【答案】A
【解析】句意:由于没有为修复项目获得足够的资金,博物馆当局现在正在考虑发起公众捐款。第一空,secure“获得”在句中作非谓语动词,且与逻辑主语the museum authorities是主动关系,secure这一动作发生在谓语动词consider之前,应用动词-ing形式的完成式having done形式,且否定词应置于having done前,故填Not having secured。第二空,consider doing sth.为固定短语,意为“考虑做某事”,用launch“发起”的动词-ing形式launching,作宾语,故选A。

【答案】A
【解析】句意:艾米·萨尔蒙是一位残疾人,她抓住了最后的机会来寻求被理解。the last chance to do sth“最后做某事的机会”,动词不定式作后置定语,且understand和Amie Salmon之间是被动关系,故使用动词不定式的被动式to be understood,故选A。

A. remaining, predicting B. left, to predict
C. leaving, predicting D. remained, to predict
【答案】A
【解析】句意:由于许多重大经济问题仍有待解决,现在预测今年的增长率是没有意义的。第一空,problems与remain为主动关系,用动词-ing形式remaining,在with复合结构中作宾语补足语,另,problem与leave是被动关系,用过去分词left,在with复合结构中作宾语补足语;第二空,there is no point (in) doing sth是固定搭配,意为“做某事没有意义”,in可省略,故用predicting,故选A。
7. ________ the serious mistake, she regretted ________ her teacher’s advice.

A. followed, frightening B. followed, frightened
C. following, frightened D. following, frightening
【答案】D
【解析】句意:突然的闪光之后传来一声巨响,吓坏了农场里的狗。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词“was”,所以两空均应用非谓语动词形式。第一空,“noise”和“follow”之间是主动关系,应用动词-ing形式following作后置定语;第二空,巨响吓坏了狗,表示自然而然的结果,“noise”与“frighten”之间是主动关系,应用动词-ing形式frightening作结果状语,故选D。

【解析】句意:我看见他被两个护士用担架抬走了。分析句子可知,空处作宾补,“him”与carry的逻辑关系为被动,且看见的应该是他被两个护士用担架抬走的过程,强调事情正在发生,用动词-ing形式的被动语态being carried作宾补,故填being carried。
16. The hospital ________(build)now is expected to be completed in two years.
【答案】being built
【解析】句意:目前正在建设的医院预计将在两年内完工。分析句子可知,设空处为后置定语修饰The hospital。built和The hospital逻辑上是被动关系,且根据句中的now可知,表示正在进行,所以此处应用动词-ing形式的被动式,故填being built。
17. We have looked at our planet from every angle and found all of the widest things ________(leave)to find.
【答案】left
【解析】句意:我们已经从各个角度观察了我们的星球,发现了所有最广袤的、尚待探索的事物。句中有谓语have looked和found,且无连词,括号里的leave是动词,要将其变成非谓语动词;名词短语all of the widest things与leave之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,即事物是“被留下”的,要用过去分词表示被动含义,故填left。
18. The two prisoners are said ________(escape), and the police are searching for them.
【答案】to have escaped
【解析】句意:据说这两名囚犯已经越狱了,警方正在搜捕他们。“Sb./Sth. be said to do”是固定句型,意为“据说某人做了某事”,用不定式作主语补足语,且escape(逃跑,逃脱)这一动作发生在“are said”之前,应用不定式的完成式to have done表已经发生,故填to have escaped。
19. The vocabulary and grammatical differences between British and American English are so trivial and few as hardly ________(notice).
【答案】to be noticed
【解析】句意:英式英语和美式英语在词汇和语法上的差异是如此微小和稀少,以至于很难被注意到。“so...as to do...”为固定结构,表示“如此……以至于……”,其中动词不定式作结果状语,又因notice(注意)与其逻辑主语“The vocabulary and grammatical differences”之间为被动关系,即“差异被注意到”,因此应使用不定式的被动形式to be done,故填to be noticed。
20. Weather ________(permit), we’ll hold the sports meeting as scheduled.
【答案】permitting
【解析】句意:如果天气允许,我们将按计划举行运动会。句中已有谓语will hold,空处作非谓语动词,weather与permit之间是主动关系,应用动词-ing形式permitting,与weather构成独立主格结构,故填permitting。
一、语法填空
A
(改编自24-25高二上·江西南通·期末)Life is not only making a living, but poetry too. With this concept, Chinese film Poetry shines a light on the long-neglected world of poetry, ___1___(explore)the tension between the ideals of poets and the hard realities of life, as well as the perseverance and passion it takes ___2___(stick)to one’s beliefs.

1. exploring 2. to stick 3. starred 4. saving 5. to change
6. to inspire 7. provided 8. was filmed 9. pleased 10. reflect
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍一部名为《诗歌》的电影展示了诗歌对人们的激励作用以及电影的导演对诗人的定义。
1. 考查非谓语动词。句意:在这一理念下,中国电影《诗歌》揭示了长期被忽视的诗歌世界,探寻诗人理想与严酷现实之间的矛盾,以及坚守个人信念所需的毅力与热忱。在句中shines是谓语动词,所以判断explore应该用非谓语动词形式,且逻辑主语Chinese film Poetry和explore之间是主动关系,应用动词-ing形式作状语,故填exploring。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。本句包含固定句型 it takes sth. to do sth.,不定式作真正主语,所以判断 stick 要用动词不定式形式,故填to stick。
3. 考查谓语动词时态。句意:《诗歌》由年轻演员纪向宁和曾出演电影《推手》的演员王伯钊主演,讲述了一个名叫海洛的年轻建筑工人梦想成为诗人的励志故事。who引导定语从句,从句中缺少谓语动词,根据once判断应该用动词的一般过去式,故填starred。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意:影片中,海洛攒下2万元生活费后,辞去工作,开启了一段改变人生的旅程。after在此处作介词,介词后需要接非谓语动词作宾语,逻辑主语Hailuo与save之间为主动关系,应用动词-ing形式,故填saving。
5. 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。不定式作后置定语修饰 journey,故填to change。
6. 考查非谓语动词。句意:导演向人们表示,《诗歌》意在提醒大家,即便身处逆境,诗歌依然拥有鼓舞人心、打动人心的力量。固定搭配 have the power to do sth.中,不定式作后置定语修饰名词power,所以判断inspire使用动词不定式形式,故填to inspire。
7. 考查非谓语动词。句意:这部影片引用了大量诗歌,其中部分诗句建议由一些诗歌爱好者提供。分句主干完整,空格处修饰名词suggestions,suggestions与provide之间是被动关系,应用动词-ed形式作后置定语,故填provided。
8. 考查谓语动词的时态、语态。句意:《诗歌》是在2020年拍摄的,当时整个世界都被封锁了。句子缺少谓语动词,根据句意以及时间状语“in 2020”可以判断填一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数,故填was filmed。
9. 考查动词-ed作形容词。句意:但导演说,他很高兴看到在拍摄过程中到处都是诗人。此处作表语,表达人的主观感受“感到高兴的”,用动词-ed形式形容词pleased,故填pleased。
10. 考查谓语动词的时态。句意:在他看来,一个能够感受生活之美、并在心中映照这份美好的人,就可以成为一名诗人。定语从句中情态动词can后接并列动词原形,and连接feel与本空动词,形式保持一致,因此reflect 使用动词原形,故填reflect。
B
(改编自 25-26 高二下・新疆・期末) Poetry and painting are inseparable in Chinese culture. Many painters ___1___(take)ancient poetry as their inspiration, either directly illustrating famous lines of poems or ___2___(attempt) to evoke(唤起)them more delicately in the mind of the viewer. The poetic tradition, which reaches back over two thousand years, provided these artists with a rich wellspring to draw from, ___3___(include)
poems on nature and ancient ceremonies and customs. For painters who were themselves poets, one of the greatest ambitions was ___4___(create)a work which combined their original poetry, calligraphy, and painting into a well-organized artwork, ___5___(know)as the “three perfections” in Chinese.
The exhibition in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) ___6___(explore)some of the ways in which Chinese painters engaged with poetry ___7___(build)connections and develop layers of meaning in their art. Featuring 90 works ___8___(draw)almost entirely from the MET’s collection, the exhibition presents a selection of painting, calligraphy, and decorative arts. ___9___(cover)works inspired by ancient Chinese poetry such as The Book of Odes (Shijing), poetry of the Tang Dynasty, Chan/Zen Buddhist poetry, and more, the exhibition examines the ways in which the image and the poetry inspired and ___10___(impact) one another over time.
【答案】
1. took 2. attempting 3. including 4. to create 5. known
6. explores 7. to build 8. drawn 9. Covering 10. impacted
1. 考查谓语动词的时态。句意:许多画家以古代诗歌为灵感,要么直接描绘著名的诗句,要么试图在观者心中更细腻地唤起这些诗句。本句讲述古代画家的创作情况,动作发生在过去,谓语动词使用一般过去时,故填 took。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处与illustrating并列,作either...or...连接的并列成分,所以用attempt的-ing形式,故填attempting。
3.考查介词(由动词-ing转换过来的介词)。句意:诗歌传统可以追溯到两千多年前,为这些艺术家提供了丰富的创作源泉,包括关于自然、古代仪式和习俗的诗歌。including为介词,意为“包括”,后面直接接列举的内容,故填 including。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意:对于本身就是诗人的画家而言,最大的追求之一就是创作出一件作品,将原创诗文、书法与绘画融为一体,形成结构完整的艺术品。主语含有抽象名词 ambition,表 “目标、打算”,表语使用不定式 to do 结构说明具体内容,故填 to create。
5. 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。be known as 意为 “作为……闻名”;此处作后置定语修饰 artwork,省略 be 动词,使用过去分词 known。
6. 考查谓语动词的时态与主谓一致。句意:大都会艺术博物馆(MET)的这次展览探索了中国画家在其艺术创作中通过一些方式与诗歌建立联系并发展出多层次的意义。本句描述的是展览的一般情况,应用一般现在时,主语The exhibition是第三人称单数,故填explores。
7. 考查非谓语动词。句意:大都会艺术博物馆(MET)的这次展览探索了中国画家在其艺术创作中通过一些方式与诗歌建立联系并发展出多层次的意义。此处动词不定式在定语从句内作目的状语,说明画家借助诗歌想要达成的目的,用动词不定式作目的状语,故填to build。
8. 考查非谓语动词。句意:此次展览展出的90件作品几乎全部来自大都会艺术博物馆的收藏,展览展示了一系列绘画、书法和装饰艺术作品。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,works与draw之间是被动关系,故填drawn。
9. 考查非谓语动词。句意:展览涵盖了受中国古代诗歌如《诗经》、唐诗、禅诗等启发的作品,研究了随着时间的推移图像与诗歌如何相互启发和影响。此处为非谓语动词作状语,the exhibition与cover之间是主动关系,注意首字母大写,故填Covering。
10. 考查谓语动词的时态。句意同上。and连接并列谓语inspired与impact,时态保持一致,使用一般过去时,故填impacted。

(25-26高二下·河北唐山·期中)
Four Top Poetry Book Clubs
Poetry Talk
Founder Tim Burris leads Poetry Talk out of its location in Indianapolis, Indiana. Today, the book club has over 150 active members. It focuses on reading, sharing and discussing poetry. No matter what form of poetry you might be interested in, whether it is shorter poems or longer anthologies(选集), Poetry Talk is a place where you can meet others who also share an interest in poetry. Book club meetings, held online every two weeks on Wednesday evenings, always welcome new members.
The Living Poets Society Poetry Book Club
Run out of Boulder Bookstore, it is a book club where members discuss a shared book of poetry. People who are interested in poetry and connecting with individuals who also enjoy reading and having conversations about poetry are welcome. Book club meetings take place online on the second Tuesday of every month.
The club has looked at Constellation Route by Matthew Olzmann and Luxury by Philip Schultz. And the latter is the first one the club has shared.
Books to Change Your Life Chicago Book Club
The book club has been active since 2020 and now has over 1,000 active participants who read and discuss a range of different books, including poetry. In addition to enjoying engaging and insightful discussions about poetry, book club members can get to learn more about books of other genres(类型), including economics, philosophy and classic literature. Book club meetings are held online and take place weekly on Mondays.
The poetry the club has read includes Homer’s classic The Odyssey.
Poetry Meetup
It is a great place for anyone interested in reading, talking about, or even performing poetry. Book club meetings are usually held once a month. Specific dates and locations of book club meetings are available on its Meetup. com web page.
The Sea and The Mirror by W. H. Auden and St. Sebastien by Dali are two poems that book club meetings at Poetry Meetup have gone over.
1. Whose poem was shared by The Living Poets Society Poetry Book Club first?
A. Tim Burris’s. B. Matthew Olzmann’s. C. W. H. Auden’s. D. Philip Schultz’s.
2. What can the members do at Books to Change Your Life Chicago Book Club?
A. Take courses on classic literature. B. Discuss books of more than one type.
C. Get free poetry books on Mondays. D. Perform poetry on stage every month.
3. How is Poetry Meetup different from the other clubs?
A. It is managed by a local bookstore. B. It focuses on discussions about poetry.
C. It requires its members to meet offline. D. It gets its members together once a week.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个诗歌俱乐部的相关信息。
1. 细节理解题。根据The Living Poets Society Poetry Book Club部分中的“The club has looked at Constellation Route by Matthew Olzmann and Luxury by Philip Schultz. And the latter is the first one the club has shared.(俱乐部看过马修·奥尔兹曼(Matthew Olzmann)的《星座路线》(Constellation Route)和菲利普·舒尔茨(Philip Schultz)的《奢侈品》(Luxury )。后者是俱乐部分享的第一个)”可知,首先分享的是Philip Schultz的诗歌,故选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据Books to Change Your Life Chicago Book Club部分中的“In addition to enjoying engaging and insightful discussions about poetry, book club members can get to learn more about books of other genres(类型), including economics, philosophy and classic literature.(除了享受关于诗歌的引人入胜和有见地的讨论外,读书俱乐部成员还可以更多地了解其他类型的书籍,包括经济学、哲学和古典文学)”可知,Books to Change Your Life Chicago Book Club的成员可以在俱乐部中谈论不止一种类型的书籍,故选B。
3. 推理判断题。根据其他三个诗歌俱乐部的介绍中的关键词online(线上)以及Poetry Meetup部分中的“Book club meetings are usually held once a month. Specific dates and locations of book club meetings are available on its Meetup. com web page.(读书俱乐部会议通常每月举行一次。会议的具体日期和地点可在其Meetup. com web找到)”可推断,Poetry Meetup与其他三个诗歌俱乐部的不同之处是它的成员是线下聚会,故选C。
其余三家俱乐部都明确开展线上会议;Poetry Meetup 官网会公布会议日期与地点,暗示活动有线下形式。其余选项均不能区分 Poetry Meetup 和其他俱乐部,因此 C 为最佳选项。
B
(25-26高一下·北京·期中)Due to shifts in media consumption and cultural habits, the relevance of poetry in our modern-day society remains the subject of debate. Critics argue that poetry has become outdated. However, poetry is, as the 18th century English poet John Keats put it, as follows:“A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness, but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.”
I believe that poetry is still relevant today as it holds great benefit in our complex and fast-paced world.
Often, we hear comments that it is difficult to understand poems. Indeed, the deep meanings, metaphors and ambiguity(模糊不清)sometimes make it difficult for common people to enjoy them. To put it simply, it must be an acquired taste to find difficult language attractive. Against the background of a fast-paced world, the puzzling language of poetry might not appeal to most people.
Yet poetry, for all its complexities, allows individuals to express complex emotions and experiences in a way that standard language is unable to. Life is complex and often rejects a straightforward interpretation of its difficulties, so it makes sense that poetry does the same. Poet Dylan Thomas wrote, “Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickles(有刺痛感), be silent, makes your toe nails twinkle, makes you want to do this or nothing, or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own.”
Poetry also plays a critical role in helping young people reflect on important issues. The rise in the consumption of short form content has conditioned the brain to seek instant gratification(满足), weakening the ability for deep thinking. On the other hand, reading complicated poetry can force readers to appreciate language rather than mindlessly snack on information, which might lead to an improvement in critical thinking skills. In an age of speed, poems can help people slow down and think about life.
Poetry, as an art form, also encourages creativity by offering an outlet for imaginative thinking and personal expression. In a world that is facing many complex problems, creativity fuels the development of new approaches that solve real-world problems. Poetry is a powerful tool for enhancing creativity as it allows individuals to break free from traditional forms of expression and experiment with language, rhythm, structure and sound. Besides language, poetry invites writers to dig deeply into emotions and ideas, allowing new insights to be uncovered.
Poetry might not be as popular now as it was in the past, but its benefits cannot be overlooked. Our modern world provides many reasons for why poetry is still relevant. It might not be possible to encourage everyday readers to enjoy poems such as The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot, but they certainly can learn to enjoy a poem that both challenges and entertains.
4. Why does the author mention John Keats’ poem?
A. To explain what poetry is. B. To argue poetry is relevant.
C. To give an example of good poems. D. To draw people’s attention to the topic.
5. What might be a reason for the decline of poetry?
A. Poets refuse to experiment with new structures and sounds.
B. Its complex language and deep meanings are hard to appreciate.
C. The modern world is gradually losing complex experiences.
D. Common people lack the basic education to read metaphors.
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People read poetry to improve critical skills.
B. Poetry erases the effects of short-form content.
C. Reading poetry makes one feel connected.
D. Imagination in poems breaks traditional boundaries.
7. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Poetry Connects Past and Present B. Poetry Loses Its Charm to New Media
C. Poetry Still Matters in Modern Times D. Poetry Fuels Thinking and Imagination
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. C
【导语】主要围绕诗歌在现代社会是否还有价值展开论述,从情感表达、思维提升、激发创造力等方面证明诗歌仍有现实意义。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However, poetry is, as the 18th century English poet John Keats put it, as follows: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness, but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.”(然而,正如18世纪英国诗人约翰·济慈所说,诗歌如下:“美好的事物永远是一种欢乐:它的可爱之处会不断增加;它永远不会化为虚无;但它仍会为我们保留一个宁静的凉亭,一场充满甜蜜梦想、健康和宁静呼吸的睡眠。”)”以及第二段中的“I believe that poetry is still relevant today as it holds great benefit in our complex and fast-paced world.(我认为诗歌在当今依旧有存在价值,因为它在我们这个复杂且快节奏的世界中具有巨大的益处)”可知,作者引用济慈的诗句,是为了佐证自己的观点,论证诗歌在现代社会依旧有价值、有现实意义,故选B。
5. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Indeed, the deep meanings, metaphors and ambiguity(模糊不清)sometimes make it difficult for common people to enjoy them. To put it simply, it must be an acquired taste to find difficult language attractive. Against the background of a fast-paced world, the puzzling language of poetry might not appeal to most people.(事实上,诗歌深层的含义、隐喻和模糊不清有时会让普通人难以欣赏它们。简单来说,要觉得晦涩的语言有吸引力,必须是一种后天培养的品味。在快节奏世界的背景下,诗歌令人费解的语言可能无法吸引大多数人)”可知,诗歌衰落的原因是其复杂的语言、深层的含义、隐喻和晦涩感难以被大众理解和欣赏,故选B。
6. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Poet Dylan Thomas wrote, “Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickles(有刺痛感), be silent, makes your toe nails twinkle, makes you want to do this or nothing, or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own.”(诗人狄兰·托马斯写道:“诗歌就是诗中能让你笑、让你哭、让你感到刺痛、让你沉默、让你的脚趾甲闪闪发亮、让你想做这件事或什么都不做、做那件事或什么都不做的东西,让你知道你在未知的世界里是孤独的,你的喜悦和痛苦永远是共享的,永远是你自己的。”)”可知,诗歌能让人感受到自己的悲欢既与他人相通共享,又专属自我,能让人产生情感共鸣,感受到与他人的联结,因此我们能从文章中得知,读诗歌会让人感到彼此相连,故选C。
7. 主旨大意题(最佳标题)。通读全文,尤其是首段中的“Due to shifts in media consumption and cultural habits, the relevance of poetry in our modern-day society remains the subject of debate. Critics argue that poetry has become outdated.(由于媒体消费和文化习惯的转变,诗歌在我们现代社会的意义仍然是争论的话题。批评者认为诗歌已经过时了)”以及最后一段中的“Poetry might not be as popular now as it was in the past, but its benefits cannot be overlooked. Our modern world provides many reasons for why poetry is still relevant. It might not be possible to encourage everyday readers to enjoy poems such as The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot, but they certainly can learn to enjoy a poem that both challenges and entertains.(诗歌现在可能不像过去那么受欢迎了,但它的益处不容忽视。我们的现代世界为诗歌仍然具有意义提供了许多理由。或许无法鼓励普通读者欣赏T.S.艾略特的《荒原》这样的诗歌,但他们肯定可以学会欣赏一首既具有挑战性又能带来乐趣的诗歌)”可知,文章围绕诗歌在现代社会是否还有意义展开,从诗歌能表达复杂情感、帮助年轻人反思重要问题、激发创造力等方面,论证了诗歌在现代社会依旧重要、仍有现实价值,所以“Poetry Still Matters in Modern Times(诗歌在现代依旧重要)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题,故选C。
C
(25-26高二下·浙江台州·期末)In an era dominated by short-form content and instant gratification(即时满足), poetry is often regarded as an outdated literary form. Critics argue that its complex images, unusual rhyme patterns, and symbolic language make it difficult for modern readers to appreciate. Yet poetry’s value has not faded; rather, it has grown increasingly essential.
Poetry allows individuals to express complex emotions and experiences in a way that standard language is unable to. Life is complex and often rejects a simple interpretation of its hardships, so it makes sense that poetry does the same. Poet Dylan Thomas wrote, “A poem may make us laugh, cry, think deeply, or remain silent.” In an age marked by emotional pressure and uncertainty, poetry offers both writers and readers a healing release, helping them find connection in shared human experiences, whether those are about love, loss or joy.
Moreover, poetry plays a vital role in helping young people reflect and think deeply about social, political and cultural issues in this modern age. The rise of social media has conditioned the brain to seek quick fixes, weakening the ability for deep thinking and reflection. Reading a complicated poem—with its packed verses and layered meanings — can force readers to slow down and explore language rather than mindlessly snack on information, which might lead to an improvement in analytical and critical thinking skills.
Poetry, as an art form, also encourages creativity. Individuals can break free from traditional forms of expression and experiment with language, rhythm, structure and sound. Besides, poetry invites writers to dive deeply into emotions and ideas, allowing new insights and perspectives to be uncovered. Hence, poetry gains its significance in a society that highly values creativity.
Admittedly, poetry may never recover the popularity it once held during the Victorian era. It would be unrealistic to expect everyone to enjoy The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot. Yet readers can learn to appreciate poems that both challenge and entertain. Poetry still matters — not despite its difficulty, but because of it.
8. What is critics’ view on poetry in modern times?
A. It lacks deep meanings. B. It fails to relate to modern life.
C. It discourages average readers. D. It falls short of symbolic images.
9. What is the value of poetry according to paragraph 2?
A. Providing instant pleasure. B. Creating new literary trends.
C. Offering emotional connection. D. Encouraging social interaction.
10. What do the underlined words “snack on” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Dig into. B. Glance through. C. Reflect on. D. Sort out.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Difficulty sustains poetry’s appeal. B. Poetry will regain its popularity.
C. Readers dislike challenging poems. D. Everyone is expected to read poetry.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A
【导语】文章以“诗歌在现代社会的价值”为核心论点,通过驳斥批评观点、分述诗歌的多重作用,结合引用与对比论证,层层递进地阐述诗歌在当代的重要性。
8. 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Critics argue that its complex images, unusual rhyme patterns, and symbolic language make it difficult for modern readers to appreciate. (批评家认为,其复杂的意象、不寻常的韵律模式和象征性语言使现代读者难以欣赏)”可知,批评家认为诗歌让普通读者望而却步,故选C。
9. 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“In an age marked by emotional pressure and uncertainty, poetry offers both writers and readers a healing release, helping them find connection in shared human experiences, whether those are about love, loss or joy. (在一个充满情感压力和不确定性的时代,诗歌为作者和读者提供了治愈的释放,帮助他们在共同的人类经历中找到联结,无论是关于爱、失去还是喜悦)”可知,诗歌的价值在于提供情感联结,故选C。
10. 词义猜测题。根据第三段的语境“Reading a complicated poem — with its packed verses and layered meanings — can force readers to slow down and explore language rather than mindlessly snack on information (阅读一首复杂的诗——诗节紧凑,含义层次分明——可以迫使读者放慢速度、探索语言,而不是无意识地snack on信息)”,rather than表示对比,前文是“slow down and explore (放慢探索)”,后文应是与之相反的快速浏览。故snack on意为“粗略浏览、快速消费”,与glance through意思相近,故选B。
11. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“Poetry still matters — not despite its difficulty, but because of it. (诗歌依旧意义非凡——并非因为它晦涩难懂,恰恰是因为这份晦涩(才更显珍贵))”可知,难度恰恰维持了诗歌的吸引力,故选A。

友情提醒:动词-ing和动词-ed形式(短语)作状语的附着规则:使用分词(短语)作句子状语时,有一条规则必须遵守:动词-ing和动词-ed形式(短语)的逻辑主语应当与句子的主语一致,否则句子就是错句(又叫做垂悬分词)。
①_______ from the top of the tower, the south foot of the mountain is a sea of trees.
A. Seen B. Seeing C. Have seen D. To see
【答案】A
【解析】此处是非谓语动词做状语,逻辑主语是句子的主语,非谓语动词与逻辑主语是被动关系,用过去分词。答案A。句意:从这座塔顶上看,这座山南边的脚下是一片树的海洋。对比:Seeing from the top of the tower, we can see that the south foot of the mountain is a sea of trees.
②Faced with a bill for $10,000, _______.
A. an extra job has been given to John B. the boss has given John an extra job
C. an extra job has been taken D. John has taken an extra job
【答案】D
【解析】根据“分词作状语其逻辑主语应与句子主语一致”的原则,只有D项才对。因为“Faced with a bill for $ 10,000”是动词-ed形式短语作状语,其逻辑主语与句子主语一致,因此句子的主语与(be)faced with的逻辑主语一致,主句的主语应该是欠钱的约翰。句意:面对一万美元的账单,约翰找了份额外的工作,故选D。句意:面对1万美元的账单,约翰找了份额外的工作。
但是已经成为固定用法的分词(短语)不需要遵守这条附着规则。常见的有:
considering…(鉴于/考虑到……) judging by/from…(从……来看,依据……来判断)
personally speaking就我个人而言 generally一般说来
frankly speaking坦白地说
以下已经变成了介词(短语):
according to…(依据……) given…(考虑到……)
including…(包括……) regarding关于,至于
owing to…(由于……)

B
(25-26高一下·北京·期中)Due to shifts in media consumption and cultural habits, the relevance of poetry in our modern-day society remains the subject of debate. Critics argue that poetry has become outdated. However, poetry is, as the 18th century English poet John Keats put it, as follows:“A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness, but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.”
I believe that poetry is still relevant today as it holds great benefit in our complex and fast-paced world.
Often, we hear comments that it is difficult to understand poems. Indeed, the deep meanings, metaphors and ambiguity(模糊不清)sometimes make it difficult for common people to enjoy them. To put it simply, it must be an acquired taste to find difficult language attractive. Against the background of a fast-paced world, the puzzling language of poetry might not appeal to most people.
Yet poetry, for all its complexities, allows individuals to express complex emotions and experiences in a way that standard language is unable to. Life is complex and often rejects a straightforward interpretation of its difficulties, so it makes sense that poetry does the same. Poet Dylan Thomas wrote, “Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickles(有刺痛感), be silent, makes your toe nails twinkle, makes you want to do this or nothing, or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own.”
Poetry also plays a critical role in helping young people reflect on important issues. The rise in the consumption of short form content has conditioned the brain to seek instant gratification(满足), weakening the ability for deep thinking. On the other hand, reading complicated poetry can force readers to appreciate language rather than mindlessly snack on information, which might lead to an improvement in critical thinking skills. In an age of speed, poems can help people slow down and think about life.
Poetry, as an art form, also encourages creativity by offering an outlet for imaginative thinking and personal expression. In a world that is facing many complex problems, creativity fuels the development of new approaches that solve real-world problems. Poetry is a powerful tool for enhancing creativity as it allows individuals to break free from traditional forms of expression and experiment with language, rhythm, structure and sound. Besides language, poetry invites writers to dig deeply into emotions and ideas, allowing new insights to be uncovered.
Poetry might not be as popular now as it was in the past, but its benefits cannot be overlooked. Our modern world provides many reasons for why poetry is still relevant. It might not be possible to encourage everyday readers to enjoy poems such as The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot, but they certainly can learn to enjoy a poem that both challenges and entertains.
4. Why does the author mention John Keats’ poem?
A. To explain what poetry is. B. To argue poetry is relevant.
C. To give an example of good poems. D. To draw people’s attention to the topic.
5. What might be a reason for the decline of poetry?
A. Poets refuse to experiment with new structures and sounds.
B. Its complex language and deep meanings are hard to appreciate.
C. The modern world is gradually losing complex experiences.
D. Common people lack the basic education to read metaphors.
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People read poetry to improve critical skills.
B. Poetry erases the effects of short-form content.
C. Reading poetry makes one feel connected.
D. Imagination in poems breaks traditional boundaries.
7. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Poetry Connects Past and Present B. Poetry Loses Its Charm to New Media
C. Poetry Still Matters in Modern Times D. Poetry Fuels Thinking and Imagination
C
(25-26高二下·浙江台州·期末)In an era dominated by short-form content and instant gratification(即时满足), poetry is often regarded as an outdated literary form. Critics argue that its complex images, unusual rhyme patterns, and symbolic language make it difficult for modern readers to appreciate. Yet poetry’s value has not faded; rather, it has grown increasingly essential.
Poetry allows individuals to express complex emotions and experiences in a way that standard language is unable to. Life is complex and often rejects a simple interpretation of its hardships, so it makes sense that poetry does the same. Poet Dylan Thomas wrote, “A poem may make us laugh, cry, think deeply, or remain silent.” In an age marked by emotional pressure and uncertainty, poetry offers both writers and readers a healing release, helping them find connection in shared human experiences, whether those are about love, loss or joy.
Moreover, poetry plays a vital role in helping young people reflect and think deeply about social, political and cultural issues in this modern age. The rise of social media has conditioned the brain to seek quick fixes, weakening the ability for deep thinking and reflection. Reading a complicated poem—with its packed verses and layered meanings — can force readers to slow down and explore language rather than mindlessly snack on information, which might lead to an improvement in analytical and critical thinking skills.
Poetry, as an art form, also encourages creativity. Individuals can break free from traditional forms of expression and experiment with language, rhythm, structure and sound. Besides, poetry invites writers to dive deeply into emotions and ideas, allowing new insights and perspectives to be uncovered. Hence, poetry gains its significance in a society that highly values creativity.
Admittedly, poetry may never recover the popularity it once held during the Victorian era. It would be unrealistic to expect everyone to enjoy The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot. Yet readers can learn to appreciate poems that both challenge and entertain. Poetry still matters — not despite its difficulty, but because of it.
8. What is critics’ view on poetry in modern times?
A. It lacks deep meanings. B. It fails to relate to modern life.
C. It discourages average readers. D. It falls short of symbolic images.
9. What is the value of poetry according to paragraph 2?
A. Providing instant pleasure. B. Creating new literary trends.
C. Offering emotional connection. D. Encouraging social interaction.
10. What do the underlined words “snack on” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Dig into. B. Glance through. C. Reflect on. D. Sort out.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Difficulty sustains poetry’s appeal. B. Poetry will regain its popularity.
C. Readers dislike challenging poems. D. Everyone is expected to read poetry.
