Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at

26、 the beginning of the discussion and once at the end. 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

27、her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it.

28、k one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “a heightening(提升) of life”.

To have a better unde

31、ording to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students _. A. to understand life B. to enjoy poetry C. to become teachers D. to become poets59. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?_.A. More stress was laid on the understanding of poetry in the past.B. Po

32、etry is more important than any other subject.C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.B Digging for history Life during the Zhou Dynasty (1066-221 B.C.) is about to become more exposed to us. An excavation(挖

33、掘)team started work at the site of the Duke Zhou Temple in Qishan County, Shanxi Province last week. The large tomb is quite likely to belong to the family of Duke Zhou, a noble at that time.
