The Best Poetry Books
Reading poems can be a lot of fun for kids. With these children's poetry books on the homepage, children will gain a new appreciation of poetry and the spoken word.
Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices
The entertaining sounds of insects fill these poems by Paul Fleischman, making it a favorite with 12-15-year-olds. These poems were written to be read aloud by two readers.
Paul Fleischman received the 1989 Newbery Medal for Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices. Other recognition included: Boston Globe-Hom Book Award, the PEN Center USA Literary Award and so on.
Eric Beddows' detailed pencil pictures, are vivid and effective complements to the poetry, which brings insects to life when it is read aloud by two voices.
You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Mother Goose Tales to Read Together
Poet Mary Ann Hoberman is the author of the picture book, which includes the joyful pictures of Michael Emberley. The book contains very short story poems for two people to read aloud, alternately and together. Each of the 12 stories for 6-11-year-olds features rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, as well as humor and attention on the joys of reading.
The book is one of a series of story poems. All the books are designed to be read aloud by two people, as if, says Hoberman, it's "a little play for two voices". The two people can be an adult and a child or two children.
Big Talk: Poems for Four Voices
Poems for four voices are much more challenging to present than poems for two voices, but middle school students tend to enjoy the challenge. The three-story poems in it will appeal to middle schoolers. The author, Paul Fleischman, provides a clear description of how to use the book. The poems are color-coded to make them easier for the four readers to keep track of their parts.
I Am Phoenix: Poems for Two Voices
The fifteen poems for two voices in the book are all about birds. Ken Nutt's soft pencil pictures complement the poems by Paul Fleischman. The words of each poem are in two columns, each to be read by one person, sometimes individually, sometimes together.
21.Which book is written for primary school students
A.Big Talk: Poems for Four Voices.
B.Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices.
C.I Am Phoenix: Poems for Two Voices.
D.You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Mother Goose Tales to Read Together.
22.How is Big Talk: Poems for Four Voices different from the other three poetry books

Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child—a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or "blast from the past," as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.
Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of "listen-and-repeat" learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.
All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.
Why Hungarian, you ask Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.
Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.
Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr. Ludke writes, "This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area."
24.The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to ________.
A.recall the past B.attract the readers
C.introduce the topic D.compare the childhood with the present
25.According to the passage which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages
A.Hungarian. B.Spanish. C.Italian. D.English.
26.Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.
A.singing is the best way to learn a language
B.the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words
C.a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner
D.Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other
27.In which situation can the finding of the research be applied
A.A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.
B.A child is going to have his first music lesson.
C.A student is going to learn a new English song.
D.An American is going to learn some Chinese.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbour named Dr Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer.
When Dr Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life's goal was to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out (淘汰) the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture (水分). I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees. He would plant an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack ! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Dr Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They're extremely tall, big and robust. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had taken care of them for several years.
Adversity (逆境) and suffering seemed to benefit these trees of Dr Gibbs in ways comfort and ease never could.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies ,the rising and falling of life within. I often hope that their lives will be easy. But I think it's time to change my wish because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.
28.What can we know according to Dr Gibbs' theories
A. Trees will die soon if they are lacking in care.
B. Trees will become weaker if they are watered.
C. Trees will grow better if they are weeded out.
D. Trees will bear fruit if they are beaten.
29.What does the underlined word “robust” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean
A. Strong. B. Strange. C. Deep. D.Old.
30.What is the author's wish for his two sons now
A. To fly higher and touch the sky. B. To meet people like Dr Gibbs.
C. To be strong when meet difficulties. D.To lead a life of comfort and ease.
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. A Nice Doctor B. The Deep Roots
C. Adversity and Suffering D. My Childhood Memory
D
Human speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the common "m" and "a" to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others A ground-breaking, five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world's languages.
More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as "f" and "v", were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.
They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned(对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure(结构), making it easier to produce such sounds.
The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn't have to do as much work and so didn't grow to be so large.
Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of "f" and "v" increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.
This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago. "The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution," said Steven Moran, a member of the research team.
32.Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi's research focus on
A. Its variety. B. Its distribution. C. Its quantity. D. Its development.
33.Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals
A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.
B. They could not open and close their lips easily.
C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.
D. Their lower front teeth were not large enough.
34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
35.What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds
A. It is key to effective communication.
B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.
C. It is a complex and dynamic system.
D. It drives the evolution of human beings.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At noon that day, I drove back home early. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin. "Thief!" I thought to myself.
I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, "Are you Mr. Ram's nephew, Michael I'm his housekeeper. Two years ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside would come. It must be you."
On hearing my words, the boy was astonished, but then he said quickly, "Has my uncle gone out I think I'd better first go out for a walk and visit him in a while."
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, "Do you like to play the violin so much "
"Yes, but I'm so poor that I can't afford one," the boy replied.
"Then, I give this violin to you." The boy looked at me doubtfully, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper's photo.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students.

16.答案：C
17.答案：A
解析：W: Hello everyone! Welcome to our program. So, today I’ll talk about some big shopping events and their history.
The first one is Black Friday. This one dates back to the 1950s and falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Originally, it started as an event within stores. But now it’s an online and offline shopping festival. Cyber Monday is the Monday after Black Friday, and it’s only for online sales. It began in 2005. Now it’s more successful than Black Friday, earning a record $9.4 billion last year. Sales tend to be on expensive technology items, like computers.
We’re all familiar with Singles Day. It dates back to the 1990s but didn’t become a shopping event until 2009. Since then, it’s become the biggest 24-hour sales event in the world. Last year, this shopping event earned $38.4 billion, beating out Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Prime Day is basically the North American version of Double 11. It was started in 2015. For shoppers like me that love small parts and home devices, Prime is a great time. But it still falls far behind Singles Day and only earned $7.16 billion last year.

第四部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Dear John,
How is life going Knowing that you'll travel around China during your vacation, I feel very happy for you and here are the details about how to buy train tickets.
Train tickets are available online or from the ticket office of the train station, and your passport is required either way. If you book it online, that can save you the trouble of going to the station and waiting in a queue. But you still need to get your ticket from the ticket office at the station since the ticket vending machine doesn't support passports. So, the best way is to go to the train station ahead of time and purchase your ticket right on the spot.
May you have a great time in China!
Yours,
Li Hua

For an instant, I was amazed that the kindness I offered to cover the boy's misconduct would make such a big difference!
After the competition, "Michael" ran to me, holding a violin box. He asked with a slight tremble in his voice, his face red with excitement, "Sir, do you recognize me The nephew! It's your kindness that lights my life, and so does your violin. Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret..." Tears welled up in my eyes. Never had I anticipated that a tiny white lie would inject such great power into others and change their life.
