Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,共10分)
Poetry is one of mankind’s oldest art forms.Since first analyzed by Aristotle,poetry has been part of every major art movement,and some say it captures emotion better than any other forms.Reading poetry is necessary to gain a full understanding of the world and has many additional benefits.
The immediate benefits of reading poetry are improvements to vocabulary.Poetry makes the reader familiar with new terms and encourages verbal analysis.This presents reading as a creative act in its own right.The common practice of memorizing poems also improves long-term brain health.Studies have shown that people who memorize and recall poems are less susceptible(受影响) to Alzheimer’s.
Poetry also improves critical thinking by forcing a reader to think.In great poetry,meaning is not obvious or one-dimensional(一维的).Understanding poetry is an active practice,rather than the passive engagement encouraged with prose(散文).Readers of poetry are more likely than nonreaders to analyze information for viewpoints.This skill benefits students,but also anyone who wants to form their own opinions of news items or gain a better perspective upon documents like contracts.The critical thinking skills developed through reading poetry give greater control over language itself.
The most remarkable power of literature is its ability to unite reader and writer across time and cultural boundaries.As condensed(凝炼的) literature,poetry offers these benefits in a powerful way.Poetry triggers memories and emotions in its readers.This connection between universal emotions and personal experience encourages the development of empathy.A reader might have no practical conception of what life was like during the Elizabethan era in England.However,Shakespeare’s Sonnets with their universal themes of love and longing,can bridge the gap of centuries and help us gain an insight into people’s feelings in the 17th century.

C.It makes one less likely to catch Alzheimer’s.

A.To show poetry motivates us to learn different cultures.
B.To show poetry helps develop our empathy.

Ⅳ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
I adore poetry.I still remember early lessons on haikus back in my Grade Three classroom.Poetry can be amazing.Here’s three ways to bring 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,color 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 colorful 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 song
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.
语篇解读 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.答案 B
解析 根据后文“Students can write a poem inspired by a piece of art or create a piece of art inspired by a poem”可知,后文是解释如何用一个来启发另一个,B项引起下文,符合语境。故选B。
2.答案 E
解析 此部分主题是把诗歌和艺术结合在一起。前文讲述用诗歌启发艺术或用艺术启发诗歌。E项“学生也可以把诗歌和艺术融入一个作品中”和前文构成并列关系,符合语境。同时空后的They指代E项中的Students。故选E。
3.答案 C
解析 根据前文“There are a few ways you can display poetry in the classroom.”可知,本段介绍如何展示诗歌。C 项“Beach poems can be written into a beach scene.”和该空前的“Autumn poetry can be displayed on colorful trees made out of paper.”构成并列关系,都是诗歌展示的例子,符合语境。故选C。
4.答案 F
解析 根据前文“Students can also use a display board to create their own poetry.”可知,本段介绍学生利用展览板创作诗歌的方法。 F 项“他们用展览板上的字条来创作诗歌”呼应上文。故选F。
5.答案 D
解析 前文“Poetry and songs are two different forms of writing.”讲述诗歌和歌曲是不同的,而后文“They both use rhyme,rhythm and highly effective word choice to make you feel something.”讲述的是诗歌和歌曲的共同点。所以空处承上启下,与前文为转折关系且引出诗歌和歌曲的共同点。故选D。
训练2 Vocabulary(B) [分值:35分]
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
As a teen myself,I’ve seen first-hand the pleasing effects of poetry.Not too long ago,I went on stage to read my poetry at a writing workshop(研讨班),thinking anxiously to myself: Would the audience understand me I felt anxious about what my voice would sound like.At the time,I was 14,and still suffering from a speech disorder(语言障碍) that had affected me since I began talking.As I stood,I experienced a sudden appreciation for the blinding lights.I couldn’t see everyone’s face! That made things much easier.I opened my book and began to read.
After the writing workshop,I gained the confidence to read my own work aloud.I learned that writing wasn’t about pronunciation,but about style and the author’s voice.This lesson helped me grow on endless occasions in my life,convincing me that poetry can have an astonishing influence.
One organization that I am part of,WriteGirl,through monthly creative writing workshops,gives girls the skills they need for a brighter future.Although WriteGirl doesn’t only focus on poetry,the organization still uses poetry to teach,inspire girls all across Los Angeles.While the high school graduation rate in Los Angeles is only 80 percent,every year 100 percent of WriteGirl teens not only graduate from high school,but move on to college.
But are these advantages becoming needless with the fast development of technology
It seems the answer is quite the opposite: technology has opened a whole new world for young poets and writers.On KidBlog,young students can post their poems as a blog post on which others can leave their opinions.The Internet makes it easier for viewers to read poetry.Many people are discovering or rediscovering that poetry is fun and creates many opportunities for self-expression.
As I stepped up to read my writing at the workshop,I learned that poetry is about having a voice,and the courage to use it.With this courage,we free ourselves and become able to influence others.
语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述诗歌是如何给予她勇气与力量并改变她的价值观这一个人经历来进一步说明诗歌会给人们的生活带来积极的影响。

解析 代词指代题。根据第一段中的“thinking anxiously to myself...I felt anxious about what my voice would sound like.”及画线词之前“I couldn’t see everyone’s face!”以及画线词之后“made things much easier.I opened my book and began to read.”可知,在上台之前作者是焦虑不安的,但是耀眼的灯光让作者看不清每个人的脸,所以作者开始大胆地读起来,由此可以推测是看不清众人的脸这个事实让作者敢于开口。故选C。
2.How did the workshop influence the author
A.It aided her in making a long speech.
B.It contributed to her own growth.
C.It improved her communication skills.
D.It made her begin to take speech disorder seriously.

B
Historical heritage is human beings’ wisdom.Historical relics,however,as time goes by,suffer different degrees of damage.People used to protect cultural relics by manual work—photographing and rubbing(拓印) techniques.Although this method can keep the basic information,many vital details are still ignored.
At present,3D digitalization has been proved to be the most popular technology in the field of cultural heritage.The 3D digital technology can be used for data archiving(存档),displaying as well as restoration.
3D scanning(扫描) technology features fast measurement speed and accurate capturing(绘制) capacity.It’s good at collecting enough and accurate 3D data from different perspectives,which is beneficial to the restoration of historical relics when they suffer accidental damage.Experts can also virtually restore the heritage through the computer,and finish assistant research by means of accurate 3D models.
For historical relics’ protection,nevertheless,3D scanning isn’t the only way to put it into use.3D printing also contributes to displaying historical relics.It provides people with more chances to get to know historical relics and better understand human beings’ history.
Yecheng Museum unearthed a new collection of cultural relics in April 2019.One of the most urgent issues for archaeologists was data archiving.Invited by Quimbaya Art×Tech,ScanTech conducted 3D scanning immediately on these relics by 3D scanner.This handheld 3D laser scanner was equipped with the world’s leading-edge technologies and brought great convenience for further restoration and research.
To avoid any damage,Yecheng Museum combined with 3D printing technology based on 3D data to reproduce 1:1 3D models of cultural relics for exhibition,which aimed to make more people get close to history and pass on the precious historical heritage.
Many thousand-year cultural treasures have gradually disappeared from our sight due to technical problems.However,3D scanning and 3D printing technologies provide very effective 3D solutions for historical relic display and protection.

Ⅱ.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,共10分)
The first step in writing any poem is coming up with something to write about.To do that,you have to choose deep or attractive material.Anything can be the topic for a poem.Great poems have been written about such topics as a gas station or pieces of broken glass on the beach.
It’s easiest to write a good poem about something you know well,that you have experienced first-hand,or that you have nearby so that you can observe it carefully.This is what makes the poem deep and interesting,what will be the hidden details or qualities you discover or the things that remind you of the unique view.
In his book Poetry in the Making,the poet Ted Hughes talks about how to write a poem about an animal.“The key,” he says,“is to concentrate hard enough on the animal,to choose the words that best catch the animal you have in your mind.” You can use this approach with any poems.
In the beginning,you don’t have to worry about the “style” or writing in a “poetic” way that means being filled with rhythm and beauty.In fact,if you start to think about being poetic,it can puzzle you from what you’re actually writing about and hurt your poem.Have you ever tried to have a conversation with someone who was trying to impress you Then you know how boring this can be.The person is really thinking about himself or herself,not about the conversation.Similarly,if you are worrying about what impression your poem will make,then that takes your attention away from the topic of your poem.
In a word,if the poem is about you or your life,try to take the angle of a careful reporter when you write it down.You should focus on accurately communicating an aspect of your experience instead of focusing on what impression you are making when you do it.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
The world’s longest cave system is an enormous network of 420 miles of twists and turns,with limestone(石灰岩) falling from the ceilings in drops.
Mammoth Cave National Park preserves this unique and historical natural wonder.As large as the limestone cave system is,park officials,estimate there may be another 600 miles of cave passageways that have yet to be explored.The incredible rock formations have resulted in the park being recognized as a World Heritage Site,thanks to its extraordinary size and scientific importance—making it one of only 13 natural US sites with that title.
The caves were created naturally by the process of limestone wearing away.Rain and rivers slowly break down and shape soft limestone,which creates the vast underground network.Not only are they an amazing destination to visit,but the system also provides drinking water for roughly 40% of the US population,and they’re of historical significance too.
The caves act as a time capsule that preserves over 5,000 years of human history—and the caves’ first explorers were Native Americans,who mined the upper levels of Mammoth Cave.Thanks to the cave system’s atmosphere and natural protection from any kind of human disturbance,the archaeological(考古的) sites have been left in great shape.
Mammoth Cave was established as a national park thanks to strong local support.Back in the 1920s,Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work created the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission in 1925 to survey proposed park sites,including the caves.After years of work acquiring the land for the park,as well as building roads,trails(小径),and public facilities,Mammoth Cave National Park was established on July 1,1941.The park now receives around 2 million visitors a year,with roughly a quarter taking a tour of the caves—everything from a cultural tour to the more adventurous climbing tours on offer.The cave supports more than 130 wildlife species,such as the eyeless cavefish,which has adapted to the lightless environment by no longer growing eyes,and the cave crayfish.

Imagine being able to pop to your local park and pick some tomatoes,potatoes or even bananas to take home for dinner.Sounds too good to be true,right For residents of Andernach,Germany,it’s not just a dream—it’s their reality.
In 2010,Andernach began its edible(可食用的)city project,planting 101 varieties of tomatoes in public green spaces around the city centre.Its 30,000 residents are free to help themselves to whatever grows,as are any other visitors.The town’s motto of sorts is “Picking is encouraged—help yourself!” Every year a new type of plant is highlighted.In 2011,100 types of beans were planted,while 2012 saw the introduction of 20 onion varieties.
It’s a community effort,as local citizens are encouraged to help plant and maintain the gardens.This offers an opportunity to socialise as well as to learn about planting,cultivating and harvesting food.
An Andernach resident spoke to DW,“I often drop by to pick some herbs that I’m missing at home.Everything is easily accessible.There aren’t any fences.You just take what you need.The only thing is that you have to be quick once the fruits are ripe or they’ll all be gone!”
Andernach may have been the first in Germany,but it isn’t the only edible city.It’s part of the Edible Cities Network,a project funded by European Union to connect green urban foot initiatives around the world.Other cities include Carthage in Tunisia,Havana in Cuba and Sempeter-Vrtojba in Slovenia.In February 2022,the first Edible Cities Network Conference took place.Dr Ina Saumel,principal investigator of the Edible Cities Network,called it “a unique opportunity to invite researchers of edible city solutions and practitioners to the same table”.
Ultimately,the Edible Cities Network aims to give people “greener,more edible and,above all,more livable cities”.It is a response to the pressures of global climate change,and a significant cause full of hope.

Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Men and the Art of Listening
The world today is moving at a so high pace that we rarely stop to listen to each other.We’ve all been in conversations with someone who we felt wasn’t listening.They may keep looking at their watch or at other people around them.They nod and say yes—but we feel like a stranger talking to a wall. 1 It’s even more of an issue for us as men when it comes to how we relate to one another.
To listen is to love.
Allowing someone to open up and share their life with us communicates the simple truth: you matter and I care about your life. 2 Being humble listeners does not mean that our opinions or advice aren’t valuable.But it does mean that regularly demonstrating the simple art of listening is part of doing everything in love.
 3 
When we are with someone who is processing something difficult,to listen with compassion can often look like listening without feeling pressed to solve or advise.It comforts the one who is talking in a silent way.Women tend to be better at this form of listening.They can talk for hours and not necessarily be focused on sharing information. 4
To listen is to be needed deep down.
5 It may look like getting something off your chest or saying what you really think without fear of judgment or remarks.But we need friends we can complain to and confide in.And we need to be that friend to others,offering a compassionate,reliable ear.
A.Listen with compassion.
B.To listen,therefore,is to love another.
C.To listen is to support some else quietly.
D.Instead,they are letting out everything in mind.
E.Listening is a skill badly missing in today’s world.
F.We need to be able to talk freely with a friend and know we’ve been heard.
G.We depend on it that someone may lend a hand if we are really in desperate trouble.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了倾听的意义。
1.答案 E
解析 上文“The world today is moving at a so high pace...but we feel like a stranger talking to a wall.”举例说明了人们在交流中存在的问题,E项是对这些问题的总结,点明倾听能力的缺失是我们面临的主要问题,上下文语意连贯。故选E。
2.答案 B
解析 根据小标题“To listen is to love.”和上文“Allowing someone to open up and share their life with us communicates the simple truth: you matter and I care about your life.”可知,本段主要讲倾听是爱的表现,B项与上文构成因果关系,并照应本段主题。故选B。
3.答案 C
解析 设空处为段落小标题,根据下文“When we are with someone who is processing something difficult...It comforts the one who is talking in a silent way.”可知,本段说明了倾听是以一种安静的方式对讲话者的安慰与支持,所以C项是对本段内容的最佳概括。故选C。
4.答案 D
解析 上文“Women tend to be better at this form of listening.They can talk for hours and not necessarily be focused on sharing information.”提到女性可以聊几个小时,而且不一定是在分享信息,D项揭示了这种闲聊的意义,与上文构成转折关系。故选D。
5.答案 F
解析 根据下文“It may look like getting something off your chest or saying what you really think without fear of judgment or remarks.”可知,上文提到了一种自由表达的情况,F项中“be able to talk freely”即It的指代对象,且F项和下文意义一致。故选F。Section Ⅲ Grammar and usage—Overview of to-infinitives,verb-ing and verb-ed forms

It is generally supposed that the English Romantic Movement began in 1798.However,it is not a sudden outbreak but the result of long and gradual growth and development.The Romanticism is a literary movement which took place in Britain and throughout Europe between 1770 and 1848.Politically,it was inspired by the revolutions in America and France.Emotionally,it expressed an extreme claim of the self and the value of the individual experience together with the sense of the limitless and the transcendental(抽象的).In Britain,Romantic writers of the first generation included Wordsworth and Coleridge,Blake and Burns.The second generation of British Romantics—Byron,Shelley and Keats absorbed these influences,wrote quickly,travelled widely and their life stories and letters became almost as important for Romanticism as their poetry.
Romanticism does not mean one thing or one characteristic.It is,in fact,a collective term to mean certain characteristics,such as mysticism(神秘主义),humanism,supernaturalism,love of beauty,love of nature,love of equality.The chief characteristics of romantic poetry are as the following:
Subjectivity: All romantic literature is subjective.It is an expression of the inner urges of the soul of the artist.The poet gives free expression to his feelings,emotions,experiences,thoughts and ideas and does not care for rules and regulations.The emphasis is laid on inspiration and intuition(直觉).
Love of Nature: Enthusiasm for the beauties of the external world characterizes all romantic poetry.Romantic poetry carries us away from the uncomfortable atmosphere of cities into the fresh company of the outdoor world.All poets were lovers of nature and looked at the beautiful aspects of nature.To them,nature was a friend,a lover,a mother,sister and a teacher.
Imagination and Emotion: The romantic poets laid emphasis on imagination and emotion.The Wordsworth’s romantic poem I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud deals with subjects of creative imagination,childhood memories,beauty of nature,the role of nature as a guiding spirit.

I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus(马戏团).Until that point,I had spent most of my life on the circus lot,playing with the other circus kids.The circus,by its nature,is one that has a loose structure.So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later,I found areas that interested me.I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting.And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college,I jumped at the chance.Along the way,I found I really enjoyed the work.I became WBUR’s news reporter.The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation—whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston,or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared.Suddenly,for the first time in my adult life,I went for a year without doing any shows.But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted.For me,the circus symbolizes who I am.And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free.Some people get nervous before they go onstage,but by assuming(扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face,all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age,socioeconomic status(地位),and even language.It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone—help anyone forget their troubles for 5,10,and even 30 minutes.And most importantly,for me,it means coming home.

The Amazon rainforest is now alarmingly close to dying by 2030 due to climate change and forest loss,a WWF report warns.
The world’s largest rainforest is now close to a “tipping point(临界点)” that could mean it changes forever,no longer benefiting humanity in dealing with climate change by soaking up greenhouse gases,the report says.
Deforestation(森林砍伐) in the Amazon reached a record high this year,as illegal tree cutting increased to the highest levels in 15 years.Between 13 to 17 percent of the Amazon rainforest area has already been lost in the past 50 years.The WWF report said an area of 1.4 million square miles of the Amazon has experienced a lack of rain,a constant dry season and deforestation,which could lead it to become degraded,turning to a dry land.
What’s worse,the “tipping points” could lead to irreversible(不可逆的) loss,including receiving less than 1,500 mm annual rainfall,a dry season of more than 7 months and deforestation of the area to reduce to just 20 percent of the original cover.The loss of the Amazon would further reduce the chances of alleviating(减轻) global warming as the areas’ trees take in enormous amounts of carbon dioxide.
“This paper sounds an alarm bell for humanity,revealing the threats of climate change and forest loss are pushing the world’s largest rainforest at risk,” Professor Gagen,lead author of the WWF report,added.“The evidence gives a serious warning that we need to take the tipping point risk seriously and act immediately to cut emissions(排放),saving natural resources,and,most importantly,change the indifferent attitude to forest loss which are sending people and our planet down a path to disaster.”
“Only by listening to the voices of Amazonia’s peoples and by preserving nature can we bring our world back to life,” Gagen said.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。世界自然基金会的一份报告警告称,由于气候变化和森林减少,亚马孙雨林到2030年将接近死亡。
5.What does the underlined phrase “soaking up” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Absorbing. B.Adapting.
C.Abandoning. D.Applying.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“benefiting humanity in dealing with climate change by”以及后文“greenhouse gases”并结合第四段的“alleviating(减轻) global warming as the areas’ trees take in enormous amounts of carbon dioxide”可知,这片热带雨林目前能通过吸收温室气体来应对气候变化,所以推知画线短语“soaking up”意为“吸收”。故选A。
6.Why does the author give several numbers in paragraphs 3-4
A.To show why deforestation happens.
B.To show how big the Amazon rainforest is.
C.To explain how bad the current situation is.
D.To suggest what to do to stop global warming.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段“Deforestation(森林砍伐) in the Amazon reached a record high this year...which could lead it to become degraded,turning to a dry land.”以及第四段中“What’s worse...a dry season of more than 7 months and deforestation of the area to reduce to just 20 percent of the original cover.”可知,作者在第三至四段给出了几个数字是为了解释目前的情况有多糟糕。故选C。
7.According to Gagen,what is the most important factor in dealing with “the tipping point”?
A.Cutting down emissions right away.
B.Saving the Amazon from deforestation.
C.Preventing natural resources being wasted.
D.Changing the unconcerned attitude to the problem.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The evidence gives a serious warning...most importantly,change the indifferent attitude to forest loss which are sending people and our planet down a path to disaster.”可知,根据Gagen的说法,在应对“临界点”危机时最重要的因素是改变对问题漠不关心的态度。故选D。
8.In which column of a website can you probably find the passage
A.Health. B.Environment.
C.Technology. D.Entertainment.
答案 B
解析 文章出处题。通读全文尤其根据第一段内容可知,文章主要说明了世界上最大的热带雨林现在正接近一个“临界点”,这可能意味着它将永远改变,不再通过吸收温室气体来应对气候变化,由此可推知,文章可能选自网站的“环境”专栏。故选B。

Watch the video on P51 again and fill in the blanks with the words you hear.
Teacher: Robert Frost was a famous American poet who lived from 1874 to 1963.He won many 1.awards for his works,including four Pulitzer Prizes.Frost’s poems are very 2.honest and 3.direct in style.He often used rural scenes in New England to explore deep questions about the human condition.
One of his best-known poems,“The Road Not Taken”,was first published in a magazine in 1915.The poem 4.was inspired by Frost’s long walks in the countryside with Edward Thomas,a fellow poet.On these walks,Thomas would always spend a long time 5.choosing which path to take,and would 6.complain afterwards that he’d picked the wrong one.
In the poem,Frost talks about the choice between two forest paths.The speaker in the poem wants to try both of them,but he knows he probably won’t get the chance.He can only 7. make his decision and see what will happen.Of course,this isn’t really about a walk in the woods—it’s a metaphor.The poet uses the image of a fork in the road to symbolize any choice in life.
The poem ends with the words “I took the one less traveled by,/ And that has made all the difference.” Because of these two lines,many people assume the poet is encouraging the reader to take the 8.difficult path through life.The poet appears to have done that himself: Frost continued to write poems even though his poetic career was not successful in the beginning,9.supporting himself by teaching and farming.However,is this Frost’s intended meaning There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes,and you can have 10.your own understanding of the poem.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,共10分)
San Francisco Park ranger Amanda Barrows,who registered in City College of San Francisco (CCSF)’s Poetry for the People class,began to place a nightstand(床头柜) in Golden Gate Park with a note “take a poem,leave a poem” in December 2022.Since then,over 100 handwritten poems have been placed in the nightstand.“It’s completely unexpected,” said Barrows.“I’m really taken aback by the outpouring of support.”
Park ranger by day and poet by night,Barrows said she began writing and attending poetry workshops in 2020.The poetry course she attended was founded by Leslie Simon in 1975.The class advocates for a focus on the neighborhood,and the cultivation(培养) and public presentation of new poems.For Barrows,the idea that she could combine her job and her hobby by bringing poetry into parks was an inspiration.Barrows asked her friends to contribute their favorite poems to the nightstand as poems that could be taken.
Armed with an old nightstand,Barrows filled the stand with pens and paper.An added drawer at the bottom holds the poems that people “donate”.The concept reminded her of Little Free Libraries,which are fixtures across the city.“I was having anxiety.I had no idea what I was going to do; then it sort of just came to me,” said Barrows.“I was inspired by the little free libraries you see in SF,where you ‘take a book,leave a book’,and thought,‘Maybe I could do this with poetry.’”
One of the teachers at the CCSF poetry course,Lauren Muller,told The Washington Post that “people need poetry now”,which she suggested as the reason for the success of Barrows’s project.
Past student projects included writing poetry on sidewalks in chalk and placing poems on the windshields (挡风玻璃) of cars.“It’s exciting to see the work that students are doing,” Muller continued.“My hope is that this will happen across city parks...elsewhere.”

Ⅱ.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,共10分)
Death is a serious theme worthy of great poets.For example,John Keats’ When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be and John Donne’s Death,Be Not Proud both discuss death in reflective ways.However,the imagery in these poems shows that while Keats believed death can only bring destruction,Donne believed death can be overcome.
Keats was afraid of death,because to him death meant the loss of those things that made his life worth living:“...on the shore/Of the wide world I stand alone,and think/Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.” In other words,Keats’ fear was that death was a “nothingness” that would arrive before he could finish his life’s work or find his true love.
Donne had a different attitude toward death,and so the imagery in his poem is different,too.To Donne,death should “be not proud”,because it was not “mighty and dreadful”.He also said that death was like “rest and sleep”.Donne believed that we would all wake from the sleep of death to everlasting life,just as we wake from our normal sleep to our everyday lives.
Keats and Donne both knew that death was a part of life,and both poets used powerful imagery to talk about that difficult theme.The differences in this imagery show two very different attitudes toward the subject,one of which is much more positive than the other.Which poet to believe is up to the reader to decide.
Not surprisingly,the readers’ own experiences may play a part in the way they respond to these poets’ approaches.Like the two poets and their beliefs,contemporary readers also may be divided on the subject.This may explain why Keats’ and Donne’s poetry remains fascinating years after their deaths.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。著名诗人约翰·济慈和约翰·邓恩分别在自己的诗歌中表达了对死亡的不同看法。本文对此进行了对比分析。
1.Which of the following may Keats agree with
A.Death could stop him from writing poetry.
B.Death could help him find true love.
C.Death was not mighty and dreadful.
D.Death could be overcome by people.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段最后“In other words,Keats’ fear was that death was a ‘nothingness’ that would arrive before he could finish his life’s work or find his true love.”可知,济慈害怕死亡这种虚无的状态会在他完成一生的事业之前到来,可推知他认为死亡会迫使他停止写诗,故选A。
2.What did Donne believe in his poems
A.Death was generally powerful and terrible.
B.Death was only a ceaseless sleep.
C.Death was merely the loss of work and love.
D.Death was hardly worth the fear.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“To Donne,death should ‘be not proud’,because it was not‘mighty and dreadful’.He also said that death was like ‘rest and sleep’.”可知,邓恩认为死亡不值得畏惧,故选D。
3.Why may contemporary readers view Keats’ and Donne’s attitudes differently
A.Because they are attracted to the two poets’ everlasting opposite beliefs.
B.Because they are divided naturally by their positive or negative personalities.
C.Because their own life experiences affect the understandings of the poems.
D.Because their preferences for the poets’ strong imageries are various.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段首句“Not surprisingly,the readers’ own experiences may play a part in the way they respond to these poets’ approaches.”可知,当代读者对济慈和邓恩对死亡的态度会有不同的看法是因为他们自己的生活经历影响着对诗歌的理解。故选C。
4.Which of the following best describes the main writing style of the passage
A.Analysis. B.Argument.
C.Comparison. D.Reasoning.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段内容并结合全文可知,文章对著名诗人济慈和邓恩对“死亡”的不同理解进行了对比,故选C。

Spanish poet Manuel Moya has found an inexhaustible(无穷无尽的) treasure and source of inspiration in the works of some ancient Chinese poets.The grey-bearded 57-year-old never tried to hide his strong love for the famous ancient Chinese recluse(隐士),Tao Yuanming and other poets Wang Wei,Li Bai and Du Fu,and openly emulates their styles,in both his works and life.
In fact,readers can easily recognize the Chinese philosophy of life and literary images in the more than 40 poems that make up Moya’s collection “Impedimenta”.The poems are in deliberate imitation of the Chinese poets.
In “Recalling a Poem by Wang Wei”,Moya transplanted his hometown’s natural views verse by verse to where the Chinese poet put the sunset and birds over autumn mountains.
Such 21st-century Spanish versions of ancient Chinese pastoral poems helped win him a local poetry prize.It added to the many honors,some of them national,granted to him in a span of 34 years,during which he published more than 20 poetry anthologies and 10 storybooks and novels.
Moya started to imitate these ancient poems,thanks in large part to the efforts of Joaquin Chen,79,who had translated those Chinese poems into Spanish.In fact,Moya regarded Chen as his “tutor”.“Mr Chen led me into a new poetry wonderland,” he said.Moya is one of the many Spanish literary greats whom Chen’s work has converted to the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry.“I’m very grateful to the many people like Mr Chen.I learned how to write from them,” said Moya.“The seed Mr Chen sowed in me has grown into blossoms.”
“Poets of both countries care much about the miseries of human life,and express their thoughts in languages and melodies as beautiful as possible,” he said.

In late 2021,The Road of Tang Poetry,a book co-authored by Nobel Prize-winning French novelist Le Clézio and Professor Dong Qiang,was published by People’s Literature Publishing House in China.This book also represents a practice of cross-cultural dialogue.
Le Clézio regards the Tang Dynasty as the golden age of Chinese poetry.Due to their efforts,Le Clézio and Dong simplified complex issues and broke time and space limitations to examine five outstanding poets from the Tang era.
Nature,women,and wine are themes of common concern to Chinese and foreign poets alike.Influenced by European poetic traditions,Le Clézio was amazed the first time he read Li Bai’s Sitting Alone in Face of Peak Jingting.The peace and harmony when the man is alone with nature,as conveyed in the poem,deeply impressed Le Clézio,who loves nature deeply.The poem even inspired him to look for his own “Mountain Jingting”,where he could sit facing its peak like Li Bai and lose himself in nature.In addition to Li Bai,other Tang poets,such as Du Fu,Bai Juyi,and Zhang Ruoxu,also highly praised nature through poetry.Like them,foreign poets like British and German Romantic poets sang nature’s praises.
When trying to understand Chinese poetry,Westerners must have “windows” through which to read.For example,due to insufficient knowledge of Chinese language and culture,French poet Judith Gautier relied heavily on her Chinese teacher Ding Dunling to explain the Chinese texts when she was translating classical Chinese poetry.
The path of spreading Tang poetry through joint efforts made by Chinese and French scholars should be an energetic,inclusive stream of poetry that welcomes mutual learning,as a saying suggests,“Poetry is a stream that continually flows.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要通过《唐诗之路》这本书的出版探讨了唐诗在跨文化交流方面的意义。
