prose (散文). this isnt always easy in a second language, and so listening to their teacher read the poem, or to a professional recording, perhaps by the poet or by an actor, is, i feel, necessary.as with any listening activity, students will need some kind of preparation and task so that they can be actively engaged. they might be asked to check predictions that arose from a warm-up discussion, to compare their suggested rhyming couplets with the poets, or to identify stressed words and syllables.you might also want to get your students to listen to recorded or live discussions about poems. this can, for example, take the form of a couple of teachers or a group of students giving their views on a poem, or even an interview with the poet.im a big fan of jigsaw listening because of the natural information gap. if your school has the facilities, you might like to:divide your students into two, or even three groupsgive each group a different cassette or cd and tasks to work onthen they come back together to share what they have learned.remember that your own enthusiasm is a key factor in any activity relating to literature in the classroom.finally, dont forget to encourage art for arts sake. listening for pleasure, to poetry (or to anything else, for that matter), is to be fostered at every opportunity, because of the obvious benefits which include motivation, vocabulary acquisition and learner independence. many good song lyrics (歌词) could be termed poetry and treated accordingly in the classroom, copyright rules permitting.which of the following is true according to the passage?an english student will have difficulty understanding li bais poems.an english student will have some difficulty understanding walt whitman.a chinese student will have some difficulty understanding du fus works.an american student will have some difficulty understanding william shakespeare.what kind of preparations should the students do in the listening activity？theyd better predict what the poem is about.theyd better have a warm-up discussion.they will share their own works with their classmatesthey should know the stressed words.they should make clear the stressed syllables.they should first go to an actor. a. abcf b. abde c. cdef d. bcdf48. who do you think is this passage written for?a. the students. b. the poets. c. the teachers. d. the readers.49. what can we get from listening to poetry or good song lyrics?a. motivation, enlargement of vocabulary and the independence of learning.b. opportunity, encouragement, and the independence of learning.c. ability of understanding poetry and learning awareness.d. ability of understanding poetry and copyright rules.50. whats the main idea of the passage?a. how to use poems to develop the students skills.b. listening to poem is more difficult than reading prose.c. the schools should encourage the students to study poems.d. preparations should be done before teaching. bthe kids at shute country primary school in devon are surprisingly quiet when its time to go home in the afternoon. instead of the usual shouting and running you can hear them asking each other, “are the lights all off?”, “shall we check the taps in case they are dripping?”, “how many paper towels did we use today?”but its not unusual here. the kids have declared a war on waste.“weve never made the children do anything,” explains liz templar, the schools head teacher. “they came up with all the ideas themselves. theyre doing this because they want to.”if you take a look around the school you wont see anything thrown away unnecessarily. everything is collected and reused, or sent to be recycled.shute school started its green revolution two years ago. they looked carefully at every part of school lifefrom the teaching to the cleaning. they looked at the way stationery was used especially photocopying, the way cleaning was carried out, and how food was used and wasted!even parents were looked at: how many children came in each car? did they use unleaded (不含铅的) petrol? could they bring more children in fewer cars?high on the list was the waste of paper. next came unfriendly cleaning products. paper towels were replaced with recycled paper. but the hardest thing for the kids was when they found out how much rubbish was created by the chocolate, crisps and other snacks eaten at lunch time. of their own accord(自愿的), the children gave them up. now they bring apples and home-made snacks.the school has its own garden where they grow vegetables and flowers so that they can learn about the environment. they also use this area for their recycling storelarge containers to collect aluminum, bottles, paper and fabric. even the schools play area is made from recycled things.since the children started, the schools heating and lighting bills have fallen obviously and the number of rubbish bags has gone down from seven a week to two or three.everywhere in shute school there are bright posters asking everyone to take their rubbish home, to save energy and paper and to keep the green flag flying.51. which of the following best describes the writers idea? a. the pupils at shute

josephine, who told her. her husband richard had been in the newspaper office when the news of the railway accident was received, with brent mallards name leading the list of “killed”. on hearing the news louise cried at once in her sisters arms. when her tears ended she went to her room alone. she would have no one follow her. she sank into the comfortable armchair that faced the open window, as if she was pressed down by a sadness that seemed to reach into her soul.from the window she could see the tops of trees and new green spring life. the delicious smell of rain was in the air. some blue sky could be seen through the clouds. she was young, with a fair, calm and intelligent face. but now there was an empty look in her eyes, as she dully stared out at the sky.fearing for her sister, josephine came to the door and begged louise to come out. finally she opened the door. she held her sisters waist and together they came down the stairs. richard stood waiting for them at the bottom.suddenly there was the sound of someone opening the front door. brent mallard entered. he had been far from the accident, and did not even know there had been one. he stood in shock as louise

during pregnancy can pass the disease on to her unborn child, scientists have shown in a study that solves a puzzle that has confused doctors for a century.the rare occurrence of a mother and child appearing to share the same cancer-of which there have been about 30 known cases-is a result of genetic mutation (基因突变) that allows the cancer to pass to the baby unnoticed.there was previously no genetic evidence to explain why a childs immune system would not recognize and destroy any invasive cancer cells that were of maternal-and therefore, foreign origin.the new study, led by mel greaves, of the institute of cancer research (icr), and published in proceedings of the national academy of sciences, used advanced genetic fingerprinting to prove that infants leukaemic cells (白血病细胞) were unquestionably of maternal origin.the case, involving a japanese mother aged 28 and her daughter, showed that both patients leulaemic cells carried the identical transformed cancer gene bcr-abl even though the infant had not inherited (遗传的) this gene.this meant that the child, who had cancer diagnosed at 11 months, old, could not have developed this type of leukaemia in isolation.to investigate how the cells could have crossed the placental barrier (胎盘膜) and survived in the offspring (后代), t
