Unit 2 Poems (时间:90分钟满分:120分).阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。A(导学号51970020)No poem should ever be discussed or analyzed,until it has been read aloud by someone,a teacher or a student.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end.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 films,is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the teacher reading it.I have come to think,in fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analyzing it,if there isnt time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is a criticism of life,and a heightening(提升) of life.It is an approach to the truth of feeling,and it can save your life.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who dont 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 essential 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.To have a better understanding of a poem,one should .A.discuss it with othersB.analyze it by oneselfC.copy it down in a notebookD.practice reading it aloud答案:D解析：细节理解题。文章第一段的前两句给出了答案,说明读诗的重要性。2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?A.Extending your life.B.Saving your life.C.Criticizing life.D.Heightening life.答案:A解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段的最后两句“Poetry is a criticism of life,and a heightening(提升) of life.It is an approach to the truth of feeling,and it can save your life.”可以得知答案。3.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A.More stress was laid on the understanding of poetry in the past.B.Poetry is more important than any other subject.C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.D.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.答案:A解析：推理判断题。由最后一句中提到的“必须给学生留出听和思考的时间”可以推知过去老师侧重于学生对诗的理解。用排除法也可以排除其他三项。4.The best title of the passage may be “”.A.Reading Poems AloudB.Analyze PoemsC.Enjoy PoemsD.Learn English答案:A解析：主旨大意题。纵观全文,本文着重强调朗读有利于对诗的理解。B(导学号51970021)Do you still remember your favorite poem from high school or any other important period in your life?Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind?Probably the main reason is that some aspect of that poem resonates (引起共鸣) with you.In the same way,you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your staff and students.Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past.Thus,it can inspire whatever and whomever it touches.The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the human heart and soul.As one of the oldest art forms,poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity (人性) from one generation to another.Referring to poetry,Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement,“With this key mankind unlocked his heart.”School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves,their students and their staff members.Beyond the simple use of poetry,techniques of poetry such as metaphors,repetitions and imagery can be used to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication,create meaning and a culture of care and attention.Since schools are mainly about people and relationships,school leaders,like poets,are required to inspire and encourage the human heart.The use of poetryor even of some techniques of poetryin school leadership not only helps to improve communication,but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration.5.According to the passage,some poems are unforgettable mainly because .A.they are easy to understandB.they usually tell true storiesC.they can inspire peoples imaginationD.they can touch peoples hearts答案:D解析：根据第一段的后两句话可知有些诗之所以让人难忘是因为它们的某些方面能够引起人们的共鸣,由此可知D项正确。6.The underlined part “this common need” in the second paragraph refers to .A.the need to read poetryB.the need to be inspiredC.the need to learn about the pastD.the need to be connected with other people答案:B解析：根据第二段的“.it can inspire whatever and whomever it touches”以及文章末句话中的“.serves to meet the human need for inspiration”可知这种共同的需要是指inspiration。7.The use or technique of poetry in school leadership is in fact to make use of .A.the power of languageB.the power of school leadersC.peoples preference for poetryD.peoples desire for communication答案:A解析：根据第四段的“.can be used to take advantage of the power of language.”可知学校领导运用诗歌或诗歌的技巧其实是运用了语言的力量。8.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To show the readers that poetry is really powerful.B.To explain how poetry can be used in our daily life.C.To talk about the art of being a school leader.D.To encourage using the transformational power of poetry in school leadership.答案:D解析：根据后两段可知文章的目的是鼓励学校领导将诗歌的力量转化到学校管理中。C(导学号51970022)William Wordsworth,the representative poet of the first generation of Romantics and the chief spokesman of Romantic poetry,was

Northwestern England,where he had time to lead a life of delighted freedom in the surrounding hills.He loved nature more than his books.He entered Cambridge in 1787,but left it without distinction.In the last summer vacation in the Cambridge University,he went to France where he saw the French Revolution.The years from 1793 to 1798 were an important period in his life during which he suffered from great depression.But then he successfully overcame it.Since 1795,he lived a relatively lonely life in the Lake District with his sister,and devoted to writing poetry while enjoying a peaceful and free life.Three years later he published an epochmaking a book with Samuel Taylor ColeLyrical Ballads.The publication of this book has been taken as a historical event marking the beginning of English Romanticism in poetry.His reputation as a poet was well established in the late 1830s and began to soar in the 1840s.Wordsworth wrote a large number of poems.The themes are mainly around nature,children and simple country life.Out of this reason,he was called nature poet or democratic poet.His poetic creation and theory of poetry left a great influence upon later romanticists such as Keats and Shelley.9.The following poets are romanticists EXCEPT .A.Wordsworth B.KeatsC.ShelleyD.Emily答案:D解析：由文章最后一段最后一句“His poetic creation and theory of poetry left a great influence upon later
