16、o tell about the centers history.BWe all agree, surely memorizing poetry is a good thing, and children ought to do it. But people do object. At least, they object to the idea that children should be forced to learn poetry. They tend to be people like Michael Rosen. Rosen has more practical objection

17、s to children having to learn poetry by the governments order. Actually, Rosen is all for learning poetry, “when it feels right”, which is, he says, “one of those vague phrases much hated by people in authority and yet it is at the heart of good teaching”.Hes onto something about the timing, but tha

18、t doesnt mean policymakers are wrong to insist on pupils learning poetry. The problem is that some influential educationists have come to see learning by heart as a waste of time when tomorrows adults will want skills more than information.Lets come to the most important objectorschildren.

I teach at Sherborne School, where boys do learn poetry; and luckily theres time in our lessons to answer that question.Heres one of the answers I give. Therell be one time

20、when your good friend is going to introduce you to someone with whom he wants to spend the rest of his life. Therell be a ceremony to honour this union, and words will be very important.

21、nt” And when you do that, youre going to be speaking for everyone in the room. Now, everybody breathes sigh of relief.Learning poetry and reciting poetry forces us to think of it in this public way.

Disapproving.CJane Austen began her second novel, Pride and Prejudice, before she was twenty-one. It was originally titled First Impression be

25、cause the appearances of the characters created the plot of the novel. However, because the novel is also concerned with effects of the characters first impressions,which is their prejudice. Austen found the title Pride and Prejudice more suitable.The tone of the novel is light, and satirical（讽刺）. S

26、cenes such as Mr.Collins proposal（求婚）to Elizabeth, and Lady Catherines visits to Lizzy at Long Bourn, provide humorous relief to the readers while at the same time showing certain features of the characters. For example, Lydias lack of common sense and responsibility is showed when she takes pride i

27、n being the First Bennet girl to be married. Elizabeth Bennets ability to laugh off her bad luck and to continue to be cheerful also contributes to the tone of the novel.As a result, the mood of the novel lacks dramatic emotions. The atmosphere is cold; there are little description of the setting. T

28、he main actions of the novel are the interactions between opinions, ideas, and attitudes,which advance the plot of the novel. The emotions in the novel are to be considered beneath the surface of the story and not to be expressed to the readers directly. It is a truth universally believed that a sin

29、gle man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.In this statement, Austin has cleverly done three things: she has declared that the main subject of the novel will be marriage, she has recognized the humorous tone of the novel by taking a simple subject to speak intelligently of, an

30、d she has prepared the reader for chase in the novel of either a husband in search of a wife, or a woman in pursuit of a husband.28. Characters in Pride and Prejudice impressed people with_.A. Prejudice B. pride C. ignorance D. honesty29. The second paragraph develops by_.A. following the order of t

31、ime B. providing different examplesC. making comparisons D. analyzing causes30. The first sentence in the 4th paragraph is to prove_.A. the truth of a marriage B. the wisdom of Jane AustenC. the popularity of the novel D. the main subject of the novel31.

32、novel B. a biography of Jane AustenC. a review on pride and prejudice D. a background for Pride and PrejudiceDWhen Peter Fortune was ten years old, grown-up people sometimes used to tell him he was a “difficult”child. He never understood what they meant. He didnt feel difficult at all. He didnt thro

33、w milk bottles at the garden wall, or tip tomato ketchup over his head and pretend it was blood, or slash at his grannys ankle with his sword, though he occasionally thought of these things. Apart from all vegetables except potatoes, and fish, eggs and cheese, there was nothing he would not eat. He

34、wasnt noisier or dirtier or more stupid than anyone he knew. His name was easy to say and spell. His face, which was pale and freckled, was easy enough to remember. He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it. He was only as offensive to his sister as s

35、he was to him. Policemen never came knocking at the front door wanting to arrest him. Doctors in white coats never offered to take him away to the madhouse. As far as Peter was concerned, he was really quite easy. What was difficult about him?It was not until he had been a grown-up himself for many

36、years that Peter finally understood. They thought he was difficult because he was so silent. That seemed to bother people. The other problem was he liked being by himself. Not all the time, of course. Not even every day. But most days he liked to go off somewhere for an hour to his bedroom, or the p

37、ark. He liked to be alone and think his thoughts.Now, grown-ups like to think they know whats going on inside a ten-year-olds head. And its impossible to know what someone is thinking if they keep quiet about it. People would see Peter lying on his back on a summers afternoon, chewing a piece of gra

38、ss and staring at the sky. “Peter, Peter! What are you thinking about?” they would call to him. And Peter would sit up with a start. “Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.”Grown-ups knew that something was going on inside that head, but they couldnt hear it or see it or feel it. They couldnt tell Peter to st

39、op it, because they did not know what it was he was doing in there. He could have been setting his school on fire or feeding his sister to an alligator and escaping in a hot air balloon, but all they saw was a boy staring at the blue sky without blinking, a boy who did not hear you when you called h

40、is name.As for being on his own, grown-ups didnt much like that either. They dont even like other grown-ups being on their own. When you join in, people can see what youre up to. Youre up to what theyre up to. You have to join in, or youll spoil it for everyone else. Peter had different ideas. In fa

41、ct, he thought, if people spent less time joining in and making others join in, and spent a little time each day alone remembering who they were or who they might be, then the world would be a happier place and wars might never happen.The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesnt say much is that t

42、he teachers at school, especially the ones who dont know you very well, are likely to think you are rather stupid. Or, if not stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head. A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk m

43、ight think that he was bored, or stuck for an answer. But the truth was quite different.32. It can be learned from the first paragraph that _.A. Peter liked playing practical jokes B. Peter wasnt particular about food at allC. boys generally did some crazy things D. Peter knew why he was called“diff

44、icult”33. Which of the following would Peter be most likely to do?A. To walk around a lake for quite a while. B. To break the neighbors fence for fun.C. To tie a dirty dustbin to a dogs tail. D. To sleep in the tent with his friends.34. What is the main reason that Peter was considered“difficult”by

45、grown-ups?A. He was far from communicative. B. He turned a deaf ear to others.C. He did not do well in his studies. D. He preferred to live on his own.35. What might the author continue to write about in the following part?A. Effective measures to help Peter out. B. How the unique ideas Peter had am

46、azed others.C. Difficulties keeping Peter from learning well. D. Further prejudice against Peter among grown-ups.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。 Regardless of whether English is your first language, you wont make a good impression if you cant write well. 36 To impr

Above all, be willing to practice every day and put in the work to build strong English writing skills. Expand Your Voca

56、erstand. But if his work is experienced on stage as Shakespeare intended, then it can become much clearer. In fact 95% of the words used in Shakespeares plays are the same words we use today.The meanings of some words have altered significantly, _41_, because Shakespeare was writing at a time of gre

57、at linguistic change. This gave him a certain amount of _42_ license in his language.So what can Shakespeares plays tell us about how people really spoke at this time? And did anyone really speak like his characters? The lines spoken by Corin to Rosalind and Celia in As You Like It probably werent _

58、43_of an Elizabethan shepherd.The first thing to remember about Shakespeares work is that he wrote plays to entertain. They are _44_ works, and the dialogue was drawn on to suit the stage. Therefore his characters language did not always _45_ how real people would have spoken.For instance, in As You

59、 Like It when Corin, the shepherd, talks of love, his lines are beautiful and poetic but _46_ unrealistic. The lines Shakespeare gave Corin probably wouldnt have been used by an Elizabethan shepherd instead they _47_ to highlight the drama.Another example of how the theatrical style enriched Shakesp

60、eares text can be seen in the structure of his lines. According to the practice of the time, Shakespeare wrote his poems in iambic pentameter(抑扬格五音步) so it was _48_ for his actors to learn. When Shakespeare was writing, new plays were performed every day so this 10-beat structure was a great help fo

But if we look beyond the d

62、ialogue to the words themselves we can find out a little of how people really spoke.We can come close to this thanks to “original pronunciation” which is a system of _52_ that reproduce how the Elizabethans are believed to have spoken. Today it sounds like a West Country accent, with echoes of other

63、 parts of the country. When we _53_ this to Shakespeares dialogue, rhymes and puns(押韵与双关) that are not heard in modern English are suddenly revealed.So through Shakespeares plays we can _54_ a great deal about how people really spoke.
