are richly symbolic; operate on an emotional level, use a language of feeling; are by nature brief, clear, economical with words; are narrative sometimes, non-narrative other times. but unlike advertisements, poems tend to express complex, deep or various feelings rather than simple, sentimental, surface, or unchanged emotion. if theres drama in a poem, its more likely to be subtle, or tragic, or truly comic instead of overstated or silly. but the most important difference to observe is that poems do not mislead readers the way ads do; they are not conveying messages seeking to control or mislead your thinking and behavior. similarities and differences aside, its possible that being good at interpreting (释义) the subtle, unspoken messages in ads makes a person more skillful at interpreting poetry. its the same process of observation and inference. you observe the imagery in a typical beer advertisement, for example, and are led to infer that the right bottle of beer is the key to friendship, popularity, happiness, liberty, and success. (never mind that this might not be the whole truth.) this is the same process you would use to interpret, critically or uncritically, the images in poems. as wonderful and easy as some poems are right away, its true that sometimes reading poetry can seem a little bit like work. a poem that requires a bit of work isnt necessarily a bad poem, although some of you might think so. but that tough work to open poem actually is well worth the effort. 56. according to the passage, both poems and advertisements always use _. a. brief wordsb. colorful picturesc. impressive musicd. narrative stories 57. unlike advertisements, poems are likely to express _. a. simple emotion b. complex and deep feelings c. feelings on the surface d. emotion without any change 58. what does the underlined word “subtle” mean in paragraph 4? a. clear b. difficult c. simple d. wordy 59. the most important difference between poems and advertisements is that _. a. poems make readers more skillful at interpreting b. advertisements are usually much easier to understand c. poems do not mislead readers the way advertisements do d. advertisements have less intention of controlling our thinking 60. the main idea of the last paragraph is _. a. poem reading is wonderful b. reading poems is an easy task c. a bad poem needs more time to read d. poem reading is well worth the effort bjesse owens was born in alabama in the usa, in 1913. there were ten children in his family. jesse was the youngest. he went to school in the city of cleveland. at school he showed he had a special talent for athletics (田径). he could run fast. he could jump high. he could jump far. because he was good at athletics, jesse became a student at ohio state university. in may, 1935 in michigan, usa, he broke the world record for the long jump. this was his first world record. on the 25th may jesse did something unusual. in 45 minutes he broke six world records. some people think that this was the greatest athletics achievement ever. in 1936 jesse went to the olympic games in berlin, germany. there were only nineteen black athletes in the usa team. he won gold medals in the 100 meters race, the 200 meters race, the long jump and the relay race. jesse was not a professional athlete. this meant that he could not get money for running. later, he became a professional athlete. to make money he had to appear in strange races. sometimes he had to race against horses. in 1960 somebody broke jesses last world record. in 1980 jesse died. 61. jesse owens was born in _in the usa. a. alabama b. cleveland c. ohio d michigan 62. jesse showed he was very good at _ when he was at school. a. basketball b. swimming c. athletics d. shooting 63. jesses first world record was for the _. a. running b. relay race c. high jump d. long jump 64. he won _ gold medals in 1936 in the olympic games in berlin, germany. a. two b. four c. six d. eight 65. this text mainly tells us a story about _. a. jesses life b. jesses familyc. the records jesse broke d. the gold medals jesse wonci was in a strange city i didnt know at all，and whats more， i could not speak a word of the language. on my second day i got on the first bus that passed，rode on it for several stops， then got off and walked on. the first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then i decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. after walking about for some time，i decided i had better ask the way. the trouble was that the only word i knew of the language was the name of the street in which i lived，and even that i pronounced badly. i stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. he handed me a paper. i shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. i had to give him some money and went on my way. the next person.i asked was a policeman. he listened to me carefully， nodded and gently took me by the arm. there was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. i nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.about an hour passed and i noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. i had come all the way into the countryside. the only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.1.the writer preferred to walk back to his hotel because_.a. he had no money to buy a ticketb. he wanted to lose himself in the cityc. he tried to know the city in this wayd.it was late and there were no buses passing by2. the newspaper-seller_。a. didnt know where the hotel wasb. didnt understand what the writer saidc. could understand what the writer saidd. didnt want to take the money from the writer3. from the story we know that the policeman_。a. was kind but didnt understand the writerb. told the writer where to take a trainc. knew what the writer really meantd.was cold-hearted and didnt help the writer4. what can we learn from the last paragraph？a. the writer got close to the hotel where he stayed.b. the writer got to the hotel with the policemans help.c. the writer found he was much farther away from the hotel.d.the writer found the hotel in the direction the policeman pointed.5.in your opinion， what was the writers real trouble？a. he didnt know the city at all. b. he couldnt speak the language.c. he went too far in the wrong bus. d.he followed the policemans direction. deveryone knows that the french are romantic, the italians are fashionable and the germans are serious. or do they? are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? and if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?at least one group of people is certain that it can. a recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the uk found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the british public.britain is hostile to success, they said. it has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒) . as a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood”. jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster” and the uk is its home. scientists at warwich university in the uk recently tested this idea. they gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. some were given a little, others a great deal. those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to othersbut at the cost of losing their own. two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.this seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. but there is also conflicting evidence. the organization for economic cooperation and development (oecd) recently reported that the uk was now the worlds fourth largest economy .that is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. people in the uk also work longer hours than anyone else in europe. so the british people are not lazy, either.“its not really success that the british dislike,” says carey cooper, a professor of management at the university of manchester institute of science and technology. “its people using their success in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. they set out to do things in their way. they work long hours. by their own efforts they become millionaires. but instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. it hardly seems worth following their example. if they were friendlier, people would like them more. and more people want to be like them.71. what does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph refer to?a. one group of peopleb. a great surveyc. a nationd. national character72. most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that .a. the british public are hardworkingb. they are not popular simply because they are successfulc. love of success is britains national characterd. they are considered as “green-eyed monsters”73. what does the result of the warwich university test show ?a. most people would rather fail than see others succeed b. two thirds of the people tested didnt love moneyc. an imaginary amoun
