Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.‎ 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 film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.‎ I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism (批评) of life”, and “a heightening of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.‎ I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t 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 basic 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. ‎ ‎21. It is suggested that a poem should ______ to get it better understood. ‎ A. be discussed it with others D. be read aloud a few times C. be copied down in a notebook B. be analyzed by oneself ‎22. Poetry doesn’t have the function of ______. ‎ A. exploring your true feeling.‎ B. rethinking about your life.‎ C. saving some time for your life.‎ D. lifting up your life.‎ ‎23. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English Poetry is _______. ‎ A. to get students to understand life B. to get students to enjoy poetry ‎ C. to have students who love poetry.‎ D. to keep poetry occupying its present place.‎ ‎24. The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by “ ______”. ‎ A. arrange a room　　　　　　　 B. provide a place C. spare enough space D. set aside enough time B Sometimes two very different individuals become the best friends. For example, who ‎ could have thought that a spider (蜘蛛) would become friends with a pig? But in American writer E. B. White’s novel Charlotte’s Web, this is exactly what happens.‎ Wilbur the pig grows up in a barn (牲口棚) and makes many friends, including a spider called Charlotte. One day a sheep tells Wilbur that he will finally be served up as dinner. But Charlotte decides to save her friend. To help Wilbur, Charlotte writes words like “terrific” “radiant (喜悦的)” and “humble (谦逊的)” on her web to praise Wilbur. This makes the farmer believe that he is too important to kill. Wilbur is saved, but Charlotte is so tired that she dies.‎ The book was first published in 1952. In over 60 years Charlotte has become one of the most famous spiders of all time. She teaches us about love and promise. “She is very, very loving under that ugly look,” said Peter F. Neumeyer, writer of The Annotated Charlotte’s Web.‎ The book’s success drew the attention of Hollywood film-makers. However, they wanted a happy ending. White was strongly against this idea and as a result the film, like the book, ends with Charlotte’s death.‎ Jen Doll, a reporter of The Atlantic, believes that “death is part of life”. She says this is one of the main messages of the book.‎ As Charlotte tells Wilbur, “You have been my friend. That in itself is a wonderful thing. I wove (织) my webs for you because I like you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while and then we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a little. God knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.”‎ ‎25. Which of the following about the story is TRUE?‎ A. It’s a good example of how different creatures live in peace.‎ B. Though ugly, Charlotte is loving and helpful.‎ C. It encourages children to love their family and friends.‎ D. The farmer kills Wilbur as dinner.‎ ‎26. Hollywood film-makers and White didn’t agree on _______. ‎ A. the fate of Wilbur.‎ B. how to close story.‎ C. who was to play Charlotte.‎ D. the way Charlotte makes friends with Wilbur.‎ ‎27. In the last paragraph, Charlotte’s main message is that _______. ‎ A. life is like a web B. friendship is more important than life C. life could be boring and troublesome D. dying for a good cause is worthwhile C Clowns (丑角) have been around for a long time. They not only make us laugh at the circus (马戏团) but they used to make the king and his followers laugh in court. The earliest of these fun-makers are called “fools”. In Greek and Roman times these fools dressed up like clowns do today with painted faces and funny costumes (戏服). They danced around the stage and did things to make people laugh as clowns do in circuses today. By medieval times (中世纪) every court had its fools. Fools wore bright colours and had bells (大肚子) on their shoes and their hats. ‎ They were not really meant to be foolish and often they would say wise and sensible things to the king which nobody else was brave enough to say. The king never got cross with the fool as this was his job. He was meant to be both wise and foolish and try to make the situation in court less serious. ‎ Of course people wanted to have their own kind of fool and shows developed in the 1500s in which fools (or Zanies) performed to make the crowd laugh. This kind of entertainment became so popular that it started a special kind of drama in Italy called Commedia dell´arte, which gradually turned into our comedy programmes today. When you watch the antics (滑稽剧) of Charlie Chaplin or Rowan Atkinson, you are watching a kind of comedy that is directly originated from the fools of ancient Rome and Greece. ‎ ‎28. How do clowns entertain people? ‎ A. By their amusing talk and body language.‎ B. By their amusing voices and body langauge. ‎ C. By their clothes, songs and the way they talk. ‎ D. By their clothes, make-up and the way they act.‎ ‎29. Where did fools first give performances? ‎ A. In different towns in Europe.‎ B. In shows in ancient Greece and Rome. ‎ C. At fairs or market where there were a lot of people. ‎ D. in the building where law cases could be heard and judged.‎ ‎30.When did the Commedia dell´arte begin to develop?‎ A. Before the fifth century.‎ B. Around the tenth century. ‎ C. During the Middle Ages.‎ D. In the sixteenth century.‎ ‎31. What does the underlined “got cross” in the second paragraph mean?‎ A. got satisfied B. got through C. got angry D. got delighted D I study English literature at university and have always been proud of Britain’s literary heritage. Some British authors that you may have heard of are Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. These writers are famous all over the world because their books have been translated into many different languages. In the UK, their novels are celebrated as some of the best that have ever been written. We say that these novels are “classic” because they are still read and enjoyed years after their publication.‎ I read classic novels not only because they are part of my university lessons but also because I enjoy them. They can teach you a lot about how people used to live and what society was like in the past. Novels like Hard Times by Charles Dickens remind us of the poverty in London during the Industrial Revolution while Jane Austen’s fiction (小说) shows us what family life was like in the 18th century.‎ Classic novels usually have memorable stories and interesting characters. One of my favourite books is Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. It is about a boy called Pip who suddenly receives a lot of money from a mysterious supporter. As he grows up, his character changes: he becomes quite selfish and mean. Another important character is Miss Havisham. When she was young, her fiancé ran away on their wedding day. She lives in a dark house and still wears her wedding dress. She is a fascinating (迷人的) character, both sad and easy to be frightened.‎ Reading classic novels enriches my knowledge and life experience. And it has become part of my life.‎ ‎32. Classic novels are the ones __________.‎ A. that are taught at universities.‎ B. that have stood the test of time.‎ C. that are written by famous authors.‎ D. That are translated into many languages.‎ ‎33. In Paragraph 2, the author mentions Hard Times _____?‎ A. to introduce the university lessons.‎ B. to remind people of the poverty in London.‎ C. to let people know about what family life was like.‎ D. to prove classic novels help people know the past.‎ ‎34. What can we know about the character Miss Havisham?‎ A. She is selfish and mean.‎ B. She lives an unhappy life.‎ C. She loves wedding dresses most.‎ D. She becomes rich with others’ support.‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Why I like classic novels B. Why some novels are classic C. How to read classic novels D. What are classic novels 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)‎ 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ They just can’t help it! My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy — the ability to understand other people — and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. 　36　 For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that are mainly about computers and sports. ‎ You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at the University‎ of ‎Cambridge shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. 37 It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people’s feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. 38 People whose jobs are in the construction (建设) industries are almost males. Maths and engineering, which require high levels of systems thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines (准则). Why do men and women have differences? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经元) ‎ that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have the better ability to multitask than men. 39 Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.‎ Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. 40 It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there. ‎ A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.‎ B. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace. ‎ C. Their preferences for building systems may change over time. ‎ D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time. ‎ E. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological. ‎ F. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy. ‎ G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.‎ 第三部分 英语运用(共两节, 满分30分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分)‎ 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ As I held my father’s hands one night, I couldn’t help but notice their calluses (老茧) and roughness (粗糙). His hands tell the story of his life as a 41 , including all his struggles.‎ One summer, I remember, a drought (旱灾) hit Ontario, turning it into a 42 desert.

Dropping the basket heavily, I declared (宣称), “If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves!” Dad laughed, “Just think, my little girl, only ten dozen left for each of us and then we’re 47 .” Such is Dad —whatever problem he meets with, he never gives up. ‎ ‎_ 48 , the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over the country.

A simple Internet search for “volunteer tourism” will bring you many websites that offer this kind of travel experience. It is therefore important to research an organization before signing up to travel to a distant corner of the earth to become a volunteer. Many people rely on other ‎ organizations they know and trust them to do research for them. Many people sign up for volunteer tourism chances provided by their schools.‎ Before you choose a volunteer tourism trip, it is important to get a clear picture of how much money the trip will cost. It is also important to understand the kind of work that will be required of the volunteers, because not everyone is up to the challenge of spending many days doing heavy work. Any website can put up quotes from former volunteers that may not be true. If an organization offering volunteer tourism has an office in your city, take a trip to the office and speak with the people working there as this will help to get a better understanding of the financial and physical commitments (承诺) that volunteers must make.‎ It is also important to consider what kind of volunteer work you want to do. There are organizations that focus on volunteer chances for people who want to work on community building, others for people who want to volunteer in the field of education, and others still for people who have medical training and are willing to share their skills. There are also a number of volunteer tourism chances for people who want to help those in need.‎ Once you have found the type of volunteer work that you would like to do and created a list of volunteer tourism chances, it makes good sense to speak to former volunteers. It is a good way to choose the volunteer chance fit for you. It is also a good way to prepare for the trip and make it a success.‎ 恩施州高级中学2019-2020学年高一下学期期末考试 参考答案 ‎1—20.

Before choosing a volunteer tourism trip, you should learn in advance how much it will cost and what kind of work it requires volunteers to do. Besides, consider seriously what type of volunteer work you prefer. Once you’ve made your decision, you'd better speak to former volunteers to prepare yourself for a successful trip.‎ 录音材料与答案解析 Text 1.‎ M：Lisa’s birthday is just two days away，so I’m picking a birthday gift for her.

I’m interested in working at the school. I’m from Sweden and I’m training to be a primary school teacher in Switzerland. Before that，I was employed as a sports shop manager for ten years，but that was not my first job. After I graduated，I taught the staff in a health club about sports equipment. I later worked as a tennis coach at a local tennis club. I believe I have the right abilities for the job because I’m friendly，I like children，and I can work well in a team. In addition to tennis，I’m also good at basketball and swimming. I can speak fluent German，some French and a little Italian. I’d really like to do something useful with my life，and I also believe this will be a good opportunity to learn about other cultures and to gain more experience in teaching.‎ I’m available to attend an interview at any time.‎ Yours faithfully，‎ Stefanie Jucker ‎21. 推理判断题。阅读文章第一段，尤其是从“until it has been read aloud by someone”中可以得出答案：理解一首诗最好的方法是大声朗读它。‎ ‎22. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中 “a criticism (批评) of life”（对生活的批评）, 与B项的rethinking about your life（重新思考自己的生活）相符； “a heightening of life”（生活的提升） 与D项的”raising the quality of your life”（提升生活品质）相符； “an approach to the truth of feeling”（走向真实情感的途径）与A项exploring your true feeling（了解真实情感）相符合；但是“can save your life”（能挽救你的生活）与C项的“saving some time for your life.”（为你的生活节约时间）意思不相符合， 所以答案选C。‎ ‎23. 细节理解题。由第三段第二句的to have students love poetry（让学生爱诗歌）可知，教授英语的目的之一就是让学生喜爱诗歌。‎ ‎24. 词义猜测题。文章最后一句的意思是“……必须给学生留出思考以及听的时间”，make room在这里的意思应该是“流出空间”，指抽象的时间意义，而不是具体的空间意义。‎ ‎25. 细节理解题。根据第二段提到的Charlotte为了帮助Wilbur不被其主人杀死,在编完几个字后累死了,由此可知Charlotte是乐于助人的;又由第三段对它的评价“´She is very, very loving under that ugly look,´…”可知B项正确。‎ ‎26. 推理判断题。根据第四段“The book’s success drew the attention of Hollywood film-makers. However, they wanted a happy ending.
