He was of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 112th birthday of Pablo Neruda(1904-1973).Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda. In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast.” I need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed(共鸣) in his work.21. Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto took the pen name Pablo Neruda because .A. He was greatly influenced by other poetsB. Literary greats usually used the pen nameC. His father encouraged him to use the nameD. He wanted to prevent his father knowing the publication22. Which of the following is not the theme of his works?A. Social reform. B. loveC. political struggle. D. Development of South America.23. The last paragraph mainly tells us . A. Neruda loved to write his poems near the sea B. the sea gave Neruda vast writing inspiration C. the beautiful scenery along the Chile coast D. Nerudas poems were widely read overseasBOne afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wifes jacket.“Hes a brave man.,” the clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldnt change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever theres a new art show.“But what dose he get out of the art?” I asked. “He cant see.”“Cant see? Youre wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do,” the clerk said. “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away.24.

The young man patience, the wifes courage and their love for each other.CAs a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany. I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew(工作人员). The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying. After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I had a sombre feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service. Being the first airline to take me abroad, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general, for me, has always been a terrible and painful experience. Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.27. Which country does the author live in now? A. India. B. Canada.C. Belgium. D. Germany.28. What made the author so interested in traveling abroad?A. Growing up in India.B. Once staying in Canada.C. Once traveling to Canada with his father.D.

We often hear people complain about lack of opportunity. In fact, this world does not lack opportunity. But it does make a difference if we are able to grasp it. When opportunity knocks, make sure your door isnt locked. An able man will find opportunity everywhere, while a weak one will be left with only one opportunity, and that is to complain of having to prove what he is worth in this world.【写作内容】就“机遇”这一话题发表你的看法，内容包括：(1) 你如何看待机遇？(2) 我们怎样才能抓住机遇？【写作要求】1. 可以发表个人观点，但必须提供理由或论据；2. 阐述观点或提供论据时，不能直接引用原文语句；3. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；4. 不必写标题。_茅盾中学期中考试高一英语答案一、听力（共20小题：每小题0.5分， 满分10分）1-5 BACAB 6-10 ACBAC 11-15 ABCCB 16-20 BCABC二、阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共10个小题；每小题2分，满分20分）21-23 DAB 24-26 BDC 27-30 ADCB第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）31-35 BGAEC三、 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分， 满分20分）36-40 DCCAC41-45 DDABA46-50 BCDDA51-55 CBDAC四、语法填空（共10小题：每小题1分， 满分10分）1. rose 2. however 3. at 4. which 5. including6. trapped 7. shook 8. were killed 9. to help 10. organized五、词汇检测（共15小题：每小题1分， 满分15分）66: on 67: purpose 68: in 69: order 70: to 71: make 72: use 73: of 74: change 75: her 76: mind77: graduating 78: finally 79: persuaded 80: recognize 六、写作（共15分）Needless to say, opportunity plays a very important part in our lives when it comes to achieving success. To some extent, almost every success involves an element of opportunity. Just as the ancient Chinese put it, it takes the correct time, favorable place and united people to achieve something. But opportunity doesnt often come our way.From my point of view, all that it takes is good preparation. As a popular saying goes, opportunity favors those who are prepared. Hard work and good preparation can equip us with enough knowledge and skills to deal with the coming challenges, which are golden opportunities. However, if we dont work hard, we can do nothing but regretfully let opportunity slip off our fingers.【解析】试题分析：本篇书面表达属于谈看法的书面表达，根据提示信息的具体情况来行文。写作时注意以下几点：1、仔细阅读有关提示，简要概括短文，弄清试题提供的所有信息，明确有哪些要点。2、分析文章的总体框架，要在提纲的范围内进行分析、构思和想象，覆盖所有内容要点。3、根据要表达的内容确定句子的时态、语态。4.注意使用高级词汇和句式，以增加文章的亮点。
