He will also advise the Poetry Foundation about childrens literature and take part in projects concerning children and poetry.Jack Prelutsky has been writing poetry for children for almost forty years. He has written more than thirtyfive books of poems. His first book was called A Gopher in the Garden.It was published in 1967. His latest is called Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant and Other Poems.Jack Prelutsky is well known for creating new words by combining two words to create a new kind of creature. For example, he combined “radish” with “shark” to get “radishark”. “Lion” and “broccoli” became a “broccolion”Jack Prelutsky says children like his poems because he writes about things they care about. Poetry experts say Jack Prelutskys poems recognize childrens feelings. An example of this is the poem My Sister Is a Werewolf which is about how it feels to be different.Jack Prelutsky also writes poems about American holidays. From the romance of Valentines Day to the thrills of Halloween, from the stuffing (and overstuffing) of Thanksgiving to the joy of Christmas, Jack captures these milestones of childhood with delightfully silly poems.1Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?APoems with New Words Grow PopularBFirst Childrens Poet Laureate NamedCChildrens Love for Poetry IncreasedDJack Prelutsky Awarded Nationwide解析：选B标题归纳题。文章开头就点明了主题，然后介绍了这位诗人和他为儿童所作的诗，故选B项。2What is Jack Prelutsky famous for?AHis productivity.BHis long time of writing.CCreating new words in his poems.DHis poems about American holidays.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知，Jack Prelutsky因为创造新词而出名，故选C项。3Which is the right order according to the passage?atwo public readingsbA Gopher in the GardencBehold the Bold Umbrellaphant and Other PoemsdMy Sister Is a WerewolfAb, c, d, aBd, a, c, bCb, d, c, a Da, b, c, d解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知，a项的时间最晚；根据第三段第三句可知b项的时间最早；根据第三段最后一句可知c项应在d项之后，故答案为C项。4What can we learn from the passage?AThe Poetry Foundation was set up recently.BJack has written thirtyfive poems for children.CThe new words Jack created in his works are easy to understand.DJacks poems about holidays are not popular with Children.解析：选C推理判断题。由第四段的内容可知，Jack Prelutsky在作品中创造的词大都是由两个简单的单词合并在一起构成的，并且他的作品是给孩子们读的，由此可推断这些新词都很容易理解，所以C项正确。.阅读七选五Tips to Manage StressYou cant rid stress from your life completely, but you can reduce it.
