26、 No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism (批评) of life”, and “a heightening of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its basic nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
【1】It is suggested that a poem should ______ to get it better understood.
A.be discussed it with others B.be analyzed by oneself
C.be copied down in a notebook D.be read aloud a few times
【2】Poetry doesn’t have the function of ______.
A.exploring your true feeling.
B.rethinking about your life.
C.saving some time for your life.
D.lifting up your life.
【3】According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English Poetry is _______.
A.to get students to understand life
B.to get students to enjoy poetry
C.to have students who love poetry.
D.to keep poetry occupying its present place.
【4】The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by “ ______”.
A.arrange a room B.provide a place
C.spare enough space D.set aside enough time
27、 A mother of a cheerful five-year-old just returned from a meeting of the National Organization for Women. Inspired by exciting dreams for the possibilities of womanhood, she asked her daughter what she wanted to be when she grew up. Little Lisa quickly answered, “A nurse.”
There was a time when nursing was thought of as a woman’s job and the answer somehow seemed not to be satisfied. She had, after all, just returned from a new meeting.
“You can be anything you want to be,” she reminded her daughter. “You can be a lawyer, a doctor, a banker, president of the country — you can be anything.”
“Anything?” Lisa asked.
“Anything!” her mother smiled.
“I know,” Lisa said. “I want to be a horse!”
Lisa’s dream may need some improvement, but there is plenty of time for that. When do we give up dreaming about the future? When do we resign (听任) ourselves to simply replaying dreams from the past?
Maybe her dream needs to mature (成熟) a bit, but would you rather have the optimism (乐观) of a five-year-old girl who wants to be a horse, or the pessimism (悲观) of an adult who says in despair, “I can’t be anything at all”?
Teddy Roosevelt said, “Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.” I believe that is the way to make those dreams come true. So everyone need look up and dream of something beautiful while working hard to the dream.
【1】What did the girl really want to be when she grew up?
A.A nurse. B.A horse. C.A banker. D.A lawyer.
【2】How did the mother feel when hearing her daughter’s first answer?
A.Satisfied. B.Puzzled. C.Disappointed. D.Excited.
【3】The lesson we can learn from the passage is that we should ______.
A.stop children dreaming of something strange
B.advise parents how to educate children
C.encourage adults to learn from children
D.help children to set up a big goal
【4】The true meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is ______.
A.Stand on the ground and watch the stars
B.Have a big dream and work hard
C.Protect your eyesight while working
D.Find a good way to watch the stars
28、 Growing up in Venezuela, there was never really much cause to learn English.
For years I knew nothing past “hello,” until I started high school. For five years, I spent two hours a week immersed in understanding the verb “to be”, numbers, colors, and the difference between saying “good evening” and “good night”.
I thought two hours a week was enough time to invest in learning a foreign language. I would always get top marks, and my teachers would regularly praise me.
Even as an adult, I still thought I spoke the language, just by understanding English menus or translating common phrases.
Yep, that used to be me, walking like a queen among everyday Spanish speakers.
“Bring it on, life,” I said.
“I can handle whatever you’ve got; I’m a rock star.” But when I moved to Canada, life hit me so hard that it knocked me down. Years later, I am still recovering.
Living in a new land, with different people, new rules, new weather, a new culture and language, I was no longer a queen.
Did I speak English?
No, not at all.
So, I went back to school, thinking that it was a challenge I would conquer in record time. But the reality was different. English was more like a solid wall in my path.
Even after getting a job, it took all my courage to stop myself from hiding in the washroom during my lunch break, crying, completely overwhelmed (不知所措的) and scared.
Learning English, speaking, listening – it hurt me. Not the language. Not the unkind people, it hurt because I wasn’t good, despite my efforts.
Now, after almost seven years in Canada, I’ve decided not to apologize for my accent, grammar mistakes, or pronunciation. I’m going to chase my dreams and enjoy a beautiful, rich, and fascinating language without being ashamed.
Don’t get me wrong, my brain still screams “Give me a break!” from time to time, but that’s completely natural.
I know it’s going to take a while, but at least now I accept the person I am – not the perfect person I thought I was.
【1】What do we learn about learning English in Venezuela?
A.Everyone invested a lot of time in it.
B.It could bring a lot of benefits to students.
C.Its standard was very high in high school.
D.It didn’t require much effort.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 show about the author?
A.She was proud of her command of foreign languages.
B.She felt confident enough to face any challenge.
C.She delighted in all kinds of competition.
D.She looked down on others.
【3】What happened after the author moved to Canada?
A.She expected to improve her English easily.
B.She regretted not working hard in English.
C.She quickly put her language talent to use.
D.She adjusted to the new environment rapidly.
【4】What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?
A.The author now can pass as a native speaker.
B.The author has conquered English eventually.
C.The author has a realistic understanding of herself.
D.The author is frustrated with her English.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
