Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She had more than 20 books published. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.‎ Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.‎ In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was “A Street in Bronzeville” that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.‎ In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called “Annie Allen”. “Annie Allen” is a collection of poetry about the life of a ‎ Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.‎ Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called “Maud Martha”. “Maud Martha” received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.‎ In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, “Corners on the Curving Sky”．‎ By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues. ‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了非裔美国女诗人Gwendolyn Brooks在诗歌文学上的成就和贡献。‎ ‎5．What does the text mainly talk about?‎ A．The life of Gwendolyn Brooks's.‎ B．The poems of Gwendolyn Brooks's.‎ C．The understanding about black culture.‎ D．The struggle of black women.‎ 解析：选B　主旨大意题。根据第一段和其余各段的段首可知，本文主要讲了非裔美国女诗人Gwendolyn Brooks在诗歌文学上的成就和贡献。‎ ‎6．What can we learn about Gwendolyn Brooks's from the second paragraph?‎ A．She mainly wrote about struggles of black women.‎ B．She was good at using the language of poetry.‎ C．Her writing skills were a little worse than her ability.‎ D．Her poems were mainly about the African experience.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She was an expert at the language of poetry.”可知，Gwendolyn Brooks是诗歌语言的专家。‎ ‎7．The author develops the passage mainly by ________.‎ A．providing examples B．using statistics C．comparing opinions D．describing her experiences 解析：选A　写作手法题。文中第三至第六段分别列举了Gwendolyn Brooks的一些作品，如诗歌“Annie Allen”“Corners on the Curving Sky”和小说“Maud Martha”。故作者主要是用举例法来行文的。‎ ‎8．In the next part, the author would most probably talk about ________.‎ A．The difficulties Gwendolyn Brooks's would meet B．the poems related to political issues C．the award Gwendolyn Brooks had gained D．the racial inequality the black had to face 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知Gwendolyn ‎ Brooks的诗歌中涉及政治问题，故接下来最有可能讲的是与政治问题有关的诗歌，B项正确。‎ C Everyone seems to be living for someone else.‎ I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall. I noticed something interesting when people came to buy watermelons, but nobody paid any attention to it because it seemed to be a common practice: almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly rap it, apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear. Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer — an elderly gentleman — about this. Hearing my question, he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a selfmocking tone，“Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. But all I know is that everybody would stare at you like you were a fool if you just pick up a melon and leave.”‎ Not long after that, my watermelon stall friend sent me an invitation to her wedding, which really surprised me. I asked her, “How come you're seized by a sudden whim to get married? I even didn't know you had got a boyfriend.” She answered while counting money, “Everyone has to get married anyway. So, it is better to get married sooner than later.”‎ Have they forgotten their own heart? It may be safer and save a lot more worries to swim_with_the_tide. The use of WE or US will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But why do people usually feel uneasy when using “I”？‎ I find these somewhat funny.We have got used to following others' example. We feel at ease and justified simply because this is a way of US, a way having been practiced by so many people. But this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow suit. And in turn, we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard.‎ 语篇解读：作者通过身边人的事例，发现人们在生活中往往“随大流”，盲从别人，没有跟随自己的内心。‎ ‎9．Why did the elderly gentleman rap the watermelon before buying it?‎ A．Because he expected to hear something.‎ B．Because he knew nothing about it.‎ C．Because he just followed suit.‎ D．Because he was a fool.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“But all I know is that everybody would stare at you like you were a fool if you just pick up a melon and leave.”可知，老人不知道敲西瓜的确切原因，只是看到别人都在敲，如果自己不敲一下，会被人认为是一个傻子。故选C项。‎ ‎10．Which of the following can best replace the phrase“swim with the tide” in the fourth paragraph?‎ A．Follow the crowd.‎ B．Swim against the tide.‎ C．Wear other people's clothes.‎ D．Follow your heart.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第四段第三句“The use of WE or US will give one a steady and sure sense of pride.”可推断出本句中的tide(潮水)指的应该是“WE or US”，而swim with the tide意为“跟随人群；随大流；从众”。故选A项。‎ ‎11．What will be most likely written about by the author in the next paragraph?‎ A．Nothing.‎ B．A story about following your heart.‎ C．A funny story about how to follow your heart.‎ D．An example about judging others by your own standard.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段末句“... we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard”可推断出下文可能会与“用自己的标准评价别人”有关，故选D项。‎ ‎12．Which is right according to the passage?‎ A．The author's attitude to “follow others' example” is positive.‎ B．The author understood why people rapped a watermelon at last.‎ C．The author felt unexpected when her watermelon stall friend wanted to get married.‎ D．The practice of following suit makes people feel at ease and justified only because it is a way of America.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“...my watermelon stall friend sent me an invitation to her wedding, which really ‎ surprised me”可知，朋友的婚礼出乎作者的意料，故选C项。‎ D Toddler World Nursery was delighted to employ a trainee — twentytwoyearold Jonathan Brown — as their first male nursery schoolteacher. He was also the only man who applied for the job, but, insists Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, by far the best applicant.“Both boys and girls will benefit from the experience of having a male role model in the nursery，” says mother of two, Margery.‎ Jonathan has always been interested in childcare. His own mother is a childminder and his father is a teacher.“I've always helped Mum with looking after all the children，” he says.“I'm used to changing nappies, feeding babies, reading stories and playing with Lego.”‎ But Jonathan is a rare male in a female world. Only 2% of nursery teachers are men and this hasn't changed for ten years. Roger Olsen of the National Nursery Trust said, “Men are often viewed with anxiety and suspicion (怀疑) in a children's environment. Or they are expected to do things the way women would do them. But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recognized.”Jonathan agrees. He is a qualified under7s football coach, and plans to introduce football lessons to the nursery for boys and girls.‎ What do Jonathan's friends think of his choice of career?‎ ‎“Actually, most of them are pretty cool about it now，”‎ ‎ he says，“though they do make jokes about nappies. And I've found that girls are actually quite impressed — so that's good！”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。22岁的Jonathan Brown被一家幼儿园聘用为教师。作为这家幼儿园的第一位男教师，他的加入为清一色女教师的儿童看护工作带来了有益的影响。‎ ‎13．Why was Jonathan employed by Toddler World Nursery?‎ A．He was the best among all the applicants.‎ B．He was the only man who applied for the job.‎ C．He would be able to teach kids to play football.‎ D．He could do things the way women would do them.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“He was also the only man who applied for the job, but, insists Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, by far the best applicant.”可知，Jonathan被雇用是因为他是所有求职者中最优秀的。故选A。‎ ‎14．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “childminder”(Para.2)?‎ A．Instructor. B．Superior.‎ C．Babysitter. D．Coach.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第二段第三句“I've always helped Mum with looking after all the children ...”可知，Jonathan的母亲应是一名照看孩子的保姆。故选C。‎ ‎15．What did Roger Olsen say about the job of childcare?‎ A．It has been womenspecific.‎ B．It requires people's understanding.‎ C．It takes time to make some changes.‎ D．It needs men teachers to bring something different.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段第五句“But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recognized.”可推知，他认为儿童看护工作需要男老师为其带来一些不一样的东西。故选D。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Some people just know how to start a conversation with anyone, in any place. If you're not one of these lucky types, don't worry.__1__‎ Remark on the surroundings or occasions. If you're at a party, for example, you could comment on the food or the music in a positive way like this: “I love this song.” or “The food is great.”‎ ‎__2__ For example, “How is the wine？” or “Who do you know here？”Most people enjoy talking about themselves so asking a question is a good way to get a conversation started.‎ ‎__3__ For example, “I really like your purse. Can I ask where you got it？” or “You're really doing well in this. Can you show me how to do it？”‎ Remark on anything you have in common. People would like your saying “My daughter went to that school, too. How does your son like it？”‎ ‎__4__ Don't say something that obviously causes offence and avoid heavy subjects such as politics or religion. Stick to ‎ light subjects like the weather, surroundings, and anything you have in common such as movies or sports teams.‎ Listen effectively. __5__ You can't concentrate on what someone's saying if you're thinking about what you're going to say next. The key to effective communication is to focus fully on the speaker and show interest in what's being said. Nod occasionally, smile at the person, and encourage the speaker to continue with “yes” or “uh huh”．‎ A．Choose subjects you're interested in.‎ B．Use a praise to create a good atmosphere.‎ C．Keep the conversation going with small talk.‎ D．It is not the same as waiting for your turn to talk.‎ E．Ask specific questions that are related to the drinks.‎ F．Ask a question that requires more than just a yes or no answer.‎ G．Here are some ways to have a conversation with someone new.‎ 语篇解读：本文就如何与别人有效交流提出了几点建议。‎ ‎1．选G　本句起到承上启下的作用，空前一句表示“如果你不是这类幸运的人，也不用担心”，紧接着下一句应该表述“这里有一些如何与陌生人交流的几点建议”，故选G项。‎ ‎2．选F　根据设空处后的“How is the wine？”和“Who do you know here？”可知，这里应是教我们怎么提出问题，与别人有效地交流，故选F项。‎ ‎3．选B　根据设空处后的“I really like your purse. Can I ask where you got it？”和“You're really doing well in this. Can you show me how to do it？”可看出这些都是赞美的话，故选B项。‎ ‎4．选C　根据设空处后的“Stick to light subjects like the weather, surroundings ...”可知，C项中的small talk与此处的light subjects相呼应，故选C项。‎ ‎5．选D　本段内容强调倾听的重要性，根据本空后一句表达“当你在思考接下来要说什么的时候，你就不会专心听别人讲话”，言外之意，我们不要等着机会去说话，而要专心去听，故选D项。‎ 完形填空 Cameron Lyle has never expected to save the life of a person he didn't know.

My first step was to set small targets what can be reached realistically. For example, I plan to set a timetable for my study. So after school, I will put finishing homework in the last place.
