16、nning 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 (解释)” of it, suggesting tone, rhymes, and

17、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.

20、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. 【文章大

26、解释; 或者反过来, 先做具体的阐述, 然后再进行归纳、总结。如果读者能抓住作者的思路就能从那些具体说明、解释或归纳中找出猜词的线索。做词义猜测题, 要学会“顺藤摸瓜”和“上下取证”, 即利用上下文提供的情景和线索, 结合我们的生活常识和社会经验进行符合逻辑的综合分析, 并依此来推测词义, 切忌脱离上下文盲目猜测。C(2021 洛阳高二检测)There are many different types of poems.
