Ⅳ.阅读理解
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,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,eventually,the most concrete interpretation of its suggesting tone,rhymes,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 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 and exchanging of views,if there isn’t time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry and take it easy when we are reading a poem.Poetry is a criticism of life,and a heightening of life.It is a most appropriate approach to the truth of feeling,and it can transform 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 try out poetry-teaching.Those who don’t like it should not be forced to convey that negative feeling to 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.What should we do to have a better understanding of a poem
A.Discuss it with others.
B.Analyze it by oneself.
C.Copy it down in a notebook.
D.Practise reading it aloud.
2.Which is the purpose of teaching English according to the writer
A.To get students to understand life.
B.To get students to enjoy poetry.
C.To get students to become teachers.
D.To get students to become poets.
3.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply
A.More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B.Poetry is more important than any other literature genre.
C.One cannot enjoy life fully without a good understanding of poetry.
D.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
4.What does the underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph mean
A.Build a booth.
B.Provide equipment.
C.Leave a certain amount of time.
D.Set aside enough space.
Ⅴ.七选五
Do you ever feel like you are not the person other people think you are Learning to be comfortable in your skin can be difficult,and you may imagine yourself as a different person entirely.Reinvent yourself. 1 Before you can understand who you want to be,it is crucial to know what makes you stand out. 2 Learning what makes you different is an important part of self-discovery.Everybody has special gifts and talents.By listing positive qualities,you separate yourself from the potentially negative influence and pressure of those around you.
Discover what is holding you back.Fears,anxieties,insecurities and self-criticism can prevent you from changing yourself for the better. 3 Every time you feel a burst of fear or self-doubt,stop yourself and ask “why do I feel this way ” Once you know why you are nervous,you can take steps to overcome those insecurities and obstacles.
Write down your goals.Before you can become who you want to be,you have to realize who this new person is.Record all of your desires and goals.Each goal should be realistic and positive while focusing on yourself. 4 If you’ve never played golf before,it might not be realistic that you will become a famous golfer,but it may be realistic that you can learn how to play.Positive means that the goals are good things that will happen to you.Remove any negativity from your dream list.
Find an adviser.Perhaps you are struggling in a new career or you want to make a difference in your community.Ask an experienced person in that area to guide you.Meet once a week or month to discuss your goals.Your adviser will share the struggles that he faced getting to the point where he is now. 5
