21、If the poems you read as part of the curriculum at school made you think poetry is old-fashioned, has to use fancy language, must always rhyme or is simply out-dated, then you’ll be pleased to know it doesn’t have to do any of these things.
Here are four poets whose work will make you look at poetry in a different and more positive light.
Misha Collins
Fans of Misha Collins may know him as Castiel in the TV show Supernatural, but he has never hidden the fact that he also writes poetry. Last year, he released his first book, Some Things I Still Can’t Tell You. This contains many of his poems that are expressed as simple thoughts and experiences, making them easy to read.
Most are about his wife and are bittersweet because at the end of the book, he reveals that they have parted ways.
Tracy K Smith
Tracy was the winner of the Cave Canem prize for the best first book by an African American poet, with her 2003 collection, The Body’s Question.
Her poems cover important issues around race, family, transcending from childhood into adulthood and much more. Each is easy to understand and relate to, while at the same time, deeply personal.
Rupi Kaur
Rupi Kaur has connected with a large audience, partly because her collection, Milk and Honey, has been translated into 42 languages to reach readers throughout the world. Her universal themes of migration, healing, loss, grief and trauma are another reason for her success.
While more traditional poetry also talks about some of these subjects, Kaur’s work is brutally honest and hard-hitting in ways that wouldn’t have been acceptable in earlier poetry.
Mel Wardle Woodend
Mel was the poet Laureate of Staffordshire between 2019 and 2022. She has several published collections to her name. This includes two dyslexic-friendly books for children, making poetry more accessible to them.
She also has a collection called Just a Thought, which raises awareness of mental health issues. This topic was rarely discussed at school, so Mel’s work is progressive and inviting to those who may not tick the typical boxes of someone who enjoys poetry.
【1】In which book has the poet conveyed his/ her mixed feelings of pleasure and pain based on his/ her own personal experience?
A．Some Things I Still Can’t Tell You.
B．The Body’s Question.
C．Milk and Honey.
D．Just a Thought.
【2】What contributes to the popularity of Rupi Kaur’s poems?
A．Themes of romance.
B．Conventional styles.
C．Narrative techniques.
D．Multi-language versions.
【3】What feature do the four poets’ works share?
A．They are incomprehensible.
B．They are accessible.
C．They are personal.
D．They are rhyming.
22、A
The old lady got up early to be ready for the post．Although she seldom received letters or parcels，today she was sure there would be something．Myra wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she seldom wrote at other times．Of course Myra was busy．Her husband had been made Mayor, and Myra herself had got a medal for her work for the aged．
The old lady was eighty today．She had put on her best dress．Perhaps Myra might come．The old lady was sure of that．Two spots of color brightened her cheeks．She was excited--like a child．She would enjoy her day．
Mrs. Morrison，a social worker，had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast．Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake．The little boy from the ground floor，Johnnie，had been up with a packet of candies，and offered to help her fetch the post．
“I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents，“he said，I did last week when l was six．”
What would she like ? A pair of slippers，a table lamp，a book or a little clock．So many lovely things．
She stood by the window，watching．The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle．Her heart beat fast．Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate．And then he gave her four envelopes．Three were unsealed cards from old friends．The fourth was sealed，in Myra’s writing．
“No parcel，Johnnie?”
“No，granny．”
Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post．That was it．It would come later by parcel post．She must be patient．
But disappointment flooded her．She tore the envelope open unwillingly．A cheque fell to the floor like a bird with a broken、wing．Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up．With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits．
【1】What kind of work did Myra probably take?
A．charity B．paperwork
C．accounting D．education
【2】What does the underlined word “it” mean?
A．The reunion time she looked forward to．

D．The slowest way to send a gift．
【3】How is the passage organized?
A．In order of time．
B．In order of space．
C．In order of frequency．
D．In order of importance．
【4】The author seems to tell us that ．
A．there is no love like that of the parent for the child
B．to accompany our parents should be the first law of nature
C．a mother’s voice is the most beautiful sound in the world
D．we never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents
23、 Many people fear a visit to the dentist. They are not so much afraid of the doctor, but of the dental equipment and treatments. For over a century, dentists have been repairing the bad tooth in the same way. They first remove the bad tooth tissue with an electric-powered drill. Then, they fill the hole with a certain material. If the hole is deep and near the nerve of the tooth, it can be very painful. The worst part is that the process of drilling and filling the hole has to be repeated for the entire life of that tooth.
A British company called Reminova says it has developed a kind of technology that will end the need for mechanical cleaning of bad teeth. It also says the technology speeds up a natural process of tooth repair. The new treatment begins with a cleaning of the hole. This does not require power tools. The dentist covers the problem area with a mineral solution, and then uses an electrical current to harden this material. The electricity is too weak for the patient to feel. And the hardened mineral completely fills the hole.
Researchers say this method could be especially useful for children. Sometimes children have bad experiences at the dentist’. They fear the drilling and injections. If they have a better experience of going to the dentist’, they’ll be much more positive in later life and probably become much more regular patients. The new method is most efficient on the early-stage bad tooth. The whole treatment lasts about as long as a normal drill-and-fill visit. They believe the new technology can be further developed for treating the late-stage bad tooth.
【1】What do we know about the traditional treatment for the bad tooth?
A.The experience can be unpleasant. B.The bad tooth will be taken out directly.
C.It costs much money. D.The bad tooth can be cured once and for all.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE about the new technology?
A.It aims to speed up the process of tooth repair. B.More power tools will be used for treatment.
C.The patient often gets an electric shock. D.It causes less pain than the old one.
【3】We can infer from the last paragraph that the new treatment ____.
A.is only performed on children now B.will take the patient much more time
C.needs to be improved for wider use D.costs more than the drill-and-fill visit
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.Different Ways To Repair Bad Teeth B.It’s Necessary To Keep Teeth Healthy
C.How To Prevent Children From Having Bad Teeth D.Days of Painful Tooth Repair May Be Over
24、 When we talk to our friends online, typing can become a little boring. We turn to memes( 表情包)to make our conversations more fun.【1】
At least 10 students who were admitted to Harvard University lost their chance to study there after posting offensive(攻击性的) memes in a private Facebook group， the university’s student newspaper，the Harvard Crimson, reported on June 5. Rather than just regular jokes, the memes “went to truly dark and ugly place， joking about Orthodox Jews(犹太教徒)， the gas chambers(毒气室)， Mexican children and suicide,” reported CNN【2】But later, some students set up another group where they traded several offensive memes. When Harvard University found out about the group, it took back the students’ offers,【3】
“I appreciate humor, but there are so many topics that just should not be joked about,” incoming freshman Jessica Zhang told the Harvard Crimson. “I do not know how those offensive images could be defended”.【4】“It sounds like Harvard is going too deeply into the private lives of students, Alan Dershowitz, a retired Harvard Law School professor, told The Guardian. “It may affect them for life.”
【5】 Last year, a similar Facebook group for admitted Harvard students drew criticism from the university after some of its members posted racist jokes.
A. The incident has caused fierce debates, both in the university and around the world
B. A world-class university should help students open minds and overcome bias( 偏见)
C. However, others believe the university overstepped the boundaries.
D. The group was originally meant for would-be Harvard freshmen to get to know each other before they began university
E. Jeff Yang, himself a graduate of Harvard, said the university was right to punish the students
F. But sometimes, sending the wrong meme can make trouble.
G. In fact, this is not the first time Harvard has dealt with a case like this
25、We love letters. Just as John Donne, a poet, _________ it, “Letters, to me and my friends mean _________ greetings; they get souls together. Thanks to letters, friends who are _________ speak.” He wrote these words nearly 400 years ago. Today, in the age of instant text message, social media, and email, they _________ ring truer than ever, because writing or receiving a letter has become such a _________ event.
A UK-wide survey undertaken by Sunday Times suggests that one in four of us has not _________ a letter for at least 10 years. That’s ten years without the bitter-sweet _________ of pacing the floor waiting for the _________; ten years without recognizing the handwriting on the envelope and eagerly _________ the letter to read its content.
We ____________ not get them any more, but we still love handwritten letters. In the same survey, one third of ____________ people interviewed say that they ____________ the content of sentimental (充满情感的) letters. Shouldn’t we make ____________ to give our friends and families what they will treasure forever? Ann Bickley went online in 2013 and offered to handwrite a letter to anyone who ____________ her. Her website received 50,000 ____________ in its first three months. Five years later, she is still the main ____________ behind one-million-lovely-letter.com and has personally written 4,000 letters offering hope and ____________ to strangers.
The thought behind a letter ____________ as much as its contents. “I never tell anyone that ____________ is going to be OK,” Ann Bickley says, “I am letting someone know that there is someone in the world who ____________ them.”
Who wouldn’t love to receive a letter like that? Let’s get writing!
