第二篇　　　　　　　　　　　   Teaching   poetry


No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or 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, 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 can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting(背诵) 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 of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) 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 thing s 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.

A  More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B  Poetry 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


40  The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by

Centers of the Great European Cities
The centers of the great cities of Europe are meeting places by tradition. People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night. A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting. metropolitan（大都市的）atmosphere.
Squares, plazas（广场）and arcades（拱廊）form the heart of Europe's cities.
Venice in Italy has the Piazza San Marco - a beautiful square surrounded by shops, churches, restaurants and cafes. In Barcelona, Spain, La Bosqueria is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods. London's Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetable stalls by day and musicians, acrobats（杂技演员）and artists by night. The government buildings at the center of many cities often are architecturally impressive. In London, they serve as a beautiful backdrop（背景）to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames.
These vibrant（有活力的）hearts are the product of centuries of evolution, social historian Joel Garreau told US News and World Report recently. “The reason people think Venice is so great today is you don’t see all the mistakes,” said Garreau. “Those have all been removed.” Most European cities were laid out before the invention of the car, so bars, restaurants and cafes were near to people’s homes. Today, the focus of many Europeans' life has moved away from the centers. They live in the suburbs and outskirts, driving to supermarkets to get their supplies. But on a continent where people treasure convention there are still those who hold onto traditional ways, living and shopping locally. These people, together with tourists, provide the city centers with their reason for existence.
Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing. This is particularly true of Paris whose citizens are famous enthusiastic conversationalists. This skill is developed over many hours spent chaffing over espressos（浓咖啡）and cigarettes.
Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere. People in Roman Catholic countries used to visit the Church on an almost daily basis. Entire communities would gather in the same building and then move out to the markets, cafés and bars in the surrounding streets. An enormous example of this relationship between church and society is the Duomo. The huge marble cathedral in Florence, Italy is surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops, and caters（迎合）not only to the tourist crowds, but also the local community.
41 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that each big city in Europe
A has many large squares.
B has many very magnificent sky-scrapers.
C draws tourists in large numbers every yean
D has a center where tourists meet their spouses.
42 Which statement is NOT true of Covent Garden?
A It is crowded with people.
B It is located in London.
C It is filled with stalls.
D It is surrounded by shops, churches, restaurants and cafes.
43 Why do people think that Venice is so great?
A Because It is a famous tourist attraction.
B Because you can reach anywhere by boat.
C Because it is well-known for its merchants.
D Because all the mistakes have been removed.
44 What are Parisians famous for ?
A Their pursuit of independence.
B Their enthusiasm for conversation.
C Their ability to keep the city flourishing.
D Their devotion to developing a multiple culture.
45 The writer cites the Duomo in the last paragraph as an example to illustrate that
A there is a tight link between church and society.
B all churches are magnificent.
C old churches are very popular.
D high—rise churches are impressive.

第三篇                      “ Salty” Rice Plant Boosts Harvests
British scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more.
Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex University’s School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty.
The pair have recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice.
It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares(公顷) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts(妨碍生长)plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves(红树林) that create swamps（沼泽） and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep(渗透)in. in Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated(蒸发) by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind.
Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive.
To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little slat and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants’ growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.
Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world.
41  Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true?
A   They are students at Sussex University.
B   They are rice breeders.
C   They are husband and wife.
D   They are colleagues at an institution of higher learning.
42   Flowers and Yeo have started a programme
A   to find ways to prevent water pollution.
B   to identify genes that promote growth in salty soil.
C   to breed rice plants that taste salty.
D   to find ways to remove excessive salt from soil.
43   Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the problem discussed in the passage?
A   Natural barriers to sea water have been destroyed.
B   the water table has gone down after droughts.
C   Sea level has been continuously rising.
D   Evaporation of water leaves salt behind
44  The word “affect” in Paragraph 6 could be best replaced by
A   “influence”
B   “effect”
C   “stop”
D   “present”
45   The attitude of the author towards the research project is
A   positive
B   negative.
C   suspicious
D   indifferent.

6  All the pupils seem to be very (cheerful).

Are You a Successful Leader
Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation. At work or at play, you'll find yourself in groups, working with other people: your team at work, a meeting with colleagues, your family, a holiday with friends, a group of students working together, a day out walking in the mountains, a group of neighbors wanting to make changes. It is now recognised that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the major keys to success, partly because we need to do it so often.
In almost every situation where you're in a group, you will need a skilled leader. All groups need leaders and all successful groups have good leaders. Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated. Time is wasted and the tasks are not achieved. There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and others disappear. Often group members begin not to come to meetings in order to avoid more disharmony.
Some people are natural leaders. The celebrity chef, Antonio Carluccio says, "True leaders are born and you can spot them in kitchens." They're people who combine toughness, fairness and humour. Although a lot of people agree that there are some natural-born leaders, most people now recognise that leadership can also be taught. Our professional and experienced staff can train almost anyone how to be a successful leader. Good leaders don't make people do things in a bossy, controlling way. You can learn how to involve everyone, encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal.
Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are necessary to be a good leader. Self-confidence is vital for you to overcome your own fears about being a leader. Successful leaders also need to be calm and intelligent. They need to be able to work out good strategies and make sound judgments under pressure. Lastly, and probably most importantly, good leaders need to be sensitive, sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people. Good leader ship is essentially the ability to influence others and good leaders allow all members of the group to contribute.

Voice Your Opinion——Change is Needed in Youth Sports
Everywhere you look， you see kids bouncing a basketball or waving a tennis racquet (网球拍)。 And these kids are getting younger and younger. In some countries， children can compete on basketball， baseball， and volleyball teams starting at age nine. (46)And swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age four， to prepare children for competition.
It’s true that a few of these kids will develop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of the national Olympic teams. (47) This emphasis on competition in sports is having serious negative effects.
Children who get involved in competitive sports at a young age often grow tired of their sport. Many parents pressure their kids to choose one sport and devote all their time to it. (48) But 66 percent of the young athletes wanted to play more than one sport-for fun.
Another problem is the pressure imposed by over-competitive parents and coaches. Children are not naturally competitive. In fact， a recent study by Paulo David found that most children don’t even understand the idea of competition until they are seven years old. (49)
The third， and biggest， problem for young athletes is the lack of time to do their homework， have fun， be with friends—in short， time to be kids. When they are forced to spend every afternoon at sports practice， they often start to hate their chosen sport. A searchers found that 70 percent of kids who take part in competitive sports before the of twelve quit before they turn eighteen. (50) Excessive competitive away all the enjoyment.
Need to remember the purpose of youth sports – to give kids a chance to have developing strong， healthy bodies.


A. Survey found that 79 percent of parents of young athletes wanted their children to concentrate on one sports.
B. The young soccer organization has teams for children as young as five.
C. Many of them completely lose interest in sports.
D. Sports for children have two important purposes.
E. But what about the others, the average kids?
F. Very young kids don't know why their parents are pushing them so hard?
