Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many back people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen. Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha, Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curing Sky.By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville.

There are four types to be aware of.Eye contact is one of the most direct and powerful facial expressions. The eyes are always talking. The use of eye contact varies significantly from culture to culture. In some regions, direct eye contact is often considered a sign of trustworthiness. So, if youre in America, you should know soft, attentive eye contact would convey honesty. However, a hard, unblinking stare will send a much different message, similar to the meaning of direct eye contact in some regions.Gestures can be used to emphasize（强调）meaning. Pressing fingers together to form a steeple slows interest and determination. Touching the nose or rubbing eyes indicates discomfort. A hand to the back of the neck may indicate you are not interested in a conversation.Body posture can be closed or open. A firm handshake will give the impression of honesty. Folding arms across your chest or body is protective. People with arms folded, legs crossed and bodies turned away reject messages. A head held straight up signals a neural attitude. A head sidewards indicates interest. A head down is negative.The position of speakers and listeners: face-to-face, side-to-side, or back-to-back, can send powerful messages. In a group situation, when the leader faces the group and turns toward the one who is speaking, this conveys strong attention. When two people are communicating, competitors more possibly sit facing each other while cooperators sit side-by-side.28. Which of the following body language can mean or express honesty？A. A head sidewards or touching the nose.B. Attentive eye contact or a firm handshake.C. A firm handshake or folding arms across ones chest.D. Attentive eye contact or folding arms across ones chest29.

How to use body language.DThe Mystery of Dark Matter（物质）If you look at the night sky, youll often see stars moving very quickly. In fact, they move much more quickly than they should according to their size and the laws of physics. Scientists do not completely understand why the speed of these stars is so high. But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made up of something called dark matter. Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way, might even consist of ninety per cent dark matter.How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter. So scientists prefer to talk about the mass of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move. Recently, Dr. Jorge Penarrubia and a team from Edinburgh University discovered something interesting. The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda. This seems strange, but dark matter may explain why.Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem. The Edinburgh team is working with many other universities like the University of British Columbia.We cant see dark matter, its very difficult to measure and we cant find out its mass. Unlike stars, dark matter doesnt produce or reflect light. But we can make a good guess that it is there because of the way things move and the way light bends. Experts now think dark mater may be very different from the mater which we find on Earth. There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter.The Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky first gave dark matter its name in the nineteen-thirties. Researchers have been looking for it ever since. Today, technology such as the Large Hadron Collider is collecting more and more information but this technology cannot tell us everything. New ways of finding dark matter will be needed. Investigating dark matter may even mean we will need to start asking questions about the way we look at the universe, including the ideas of Albert Einstein.32. In what way do scientists find out the mass of galaxies？A. Depending on where they are.B. Depending on how much they weigh.C. According to the way they move and the laws of physics.D. By calculating how far between them and how fast they move.33. What may get researchers looking for dark matter？A. To change the way light bends.B. To prove the ideas of Albert Einstein.C. To collect more and more information.D. To help understand the origin of the universe.34. How is the article organized？(P: Paragraph)A. B. C. D. 35. Which heading（标题） best matches Paragraph 5?A. Its there but we cant see it.B. Sharing ideas leads to success.C. We may need to change the way we think.D. What your eyes can see cant be fully explained,第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后七个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。In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education.

In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”._39_.And this urban interest doesnt just happen in college. I went to an education meeting a couple of years ago, and a professor, an expert in education, was there to give a speech. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside?” And this man was speechless.Ill never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.More and more young people are heading for our big cities, leaving small towns and never coming back. But I dont want to add to that movement. _40_. Now its my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? Im a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.A. I want to do the oppositeB.
