If you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of. Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles.When she is on the stage, audiences often go silent. They also laugh, shout and cry. But this doesnt come easily for someone who comes from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America. When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”“How do I defend myself？” Tahay thought. “I dont know how.”“Keep going，” her mother would tell her. “At some point, youll learn.”She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVD: English Without Barriers.Tahays elder brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the afterschool poetry club. In the last six years, her English teacher Laurie Kurnick has turned Cleveland Charter High Schools poetry program into one of the most respected in the city. Her team draws from the likes of DH. Laurence, Pat Mora and Kendrick Lamar to create poems about their own lives. The poems focus on many thingssome funny, some painful.The first time Tahay read the groups poems, she was wild with joy. “I wish I could write like that，” she thought. “I want to say something.”She wrote her first poem about her first year in America.She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite poems in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. “I had so much held in，” Tahay said. “I couldnt even finish it.”But she kept at it despite her lessthanperfect grammar, spelling and diction (措辞). Still, she wouldnt tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they would make fun of her.But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride，” Tahay said. “They told me that Im worth something.”“She had this innocence，” Kurnick said. “This willingness to be genuine shows you things you dont ever see.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了美国学生Vanessa Tahay的故事：她通过自己的努力战胜了别人的嘲笑，并找到了自己的人生价值。1What did Tahays mother suggest she do when she was teased by others?AFight with them bravely.BReport them to her teachers.CIgnore them and keep going.DTry hard to make friends with them.答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Keep going， her mother would tell her”可知，本题答案为C。2What are the themes of Tahay and her teams poems?ATheir admiration for the great poets.BTheir appreciation of natural beauty.CTheir expectations of a better future.DFunny and painful stories about their lives.答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“to create poems about their own lives.

Working against the power of time and Mother Nature, the artist aimed to finish as much of Jesses portrait as he could before the iceberg disappeared.The massive image, Hulas most remote and technically challenging piece yet, communicates a memorable realitythe consequences of climate change, first and foremost, affect people.【解题导语】本文主要叙述了壁画大师Hula去往Baffin Island，通过在冰上画一位因纽特女性的肖像来提醒人们气候变化的后果正在影响人类这一现实。5What is “What If You Fly”？AA film about the muralist.BA woman called Jesse Mike.CA painting based on a local Inuit.DA project conducted by Hula.答案与解析：D考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的“For his most recent project, titledWhat If You Fly， Hula traveled to Baffin Island”可知，“What If You Fly”是Hula最近进行的一个项目。故选D项。6Why did Jesse Mike complain about some filmmakers?AThey didnt focus on human beings.BThey only reported on terrible circumstances.CThey just reported on frustrating experiences.DThey showed no sympathy to the endangered landscape.答案与解析：A考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“For most people，its about the polar bears，its not about the people”可以看出，Jesse抱怨那些电影制作人只关注气候变化对当地动物的影响，而不关注当地人。7Why did Hula paint images on the Arctic ice?AHe wanted to show his unconventional painting.BHe was ambitious enough to explore Mother Nature.CHe made an attempt to paint on varieties of materials.DHe warned people of the consequences of global warming.答案与解析：D考查推理判断。根据全文尤其是最后一段中的“the consequences of climate change，first and foremost，affect people”可知，Hula把画画到北极冰川上是为了警告人们全球变暖的后果。8What can be the best title for the text?AA Muralist and an InuitBMother Nature, Massive ImagesCArctic Ice Painting, Memorable RealityDStandard Tools, Unconventional Paintings答案与解析：C考查标题判断。通读全文可知，本文讲述了艺术家Hula以北极冰川为画布作画的事情，他以这种独特的方式提醒人们关注气候变暖对人类的影响，故选C项。.七选五2019山西八校第一次联考Having success and being able to meet ones goals requires many things: knowledge, a sense of direction, hard work, luck, connections and perhaps a strong belief in yourself.
