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 it.i have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isnt 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 (值得) 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 dont 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 things about its essential (基本的) 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.1to have a better understanding of a poem, one should _.adiscuss it with othersbanalyze it by oneselfccopy it down in a notebookdpractise reading it aloud2which of the following is not mentioned as a function of poetry?aextending your life.bsaving your life.ccriticizing life.dheightening life.3according to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching english is to get students _.ato understand lifebto enjoy poetrycto become teachersdto become poets4what does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?amore stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.bpoetry of more important than any other subject.cone cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.dpoetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.5the phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by _.a“build a booth”b“provide equipment”c“leave a certain amount of time”d“set aside enough space”brae armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the university of california san diego (ucsd) for two decades, has won the 2010 pulitzer prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, versed.“im delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the pulitzer brings, as compared to even the national book critics award, which i was also surprised and delighted to win，” said armantrout.“for a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”armantrout, a native californian, received her bachelors degree at uc berkeley, where she studied with noted poet denise levertov, and her masters in creative writing from san francisco state university. she is a founding member of language poets, a group in american poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.in march, she won the national book critics award for versed.“this book has gotten more attention，” armantrout said, “but i dont feel as if its better.”the first half of versed focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the united states as it fought the war against iraq. the second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not.“rae armantrout is a unique voice in american poetry，” said seth lerer, head of arts and humanities at ucsd.versed, published by the wesleyan university press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. the new edition is scheduled to appear in may.6according to rae armantrout, _.aher 10th book is much betterbher winning the pulitzer is unexpectedcthe media is surprised at her worksdshe likes

解析：选a。句意：经过7个小时后，登山者终于抵达山顶。eventually “终于；最后”，符合题意。constantly “不断地；时常地”；entirely “完整地；完全地”；frequently “频繁地；屡次地”。3. 解析：选c。句意： 上初中时，我曾经很讨厌别人取笑我的红头发。tease sb.about sth.“拿某事取笑某人。”a中的laughed后应加at；imitate “模仿”；encourage “鼓励”。4. 解析：选b。根据语境，需要委婉拒绝，从而使用thanks/thank you, but .句式。my pleasure 用于回答thanks; take it easy“放松；别紧张”，多用于安慰别人； forget it 可用于回答sorry。5. 解析：选d。句意：实话说，尽管工作本身很有趣，但工资不够吸引人。generally speaking “一般来说”；on the contrary “相反”；in particular “尤其”； to be honest “实话说”。6. 解析：选b。run out of 为固定搭配，意思是“用完”，主语是the farmers，故选b项而不选d项。go through“经历；经受”；suffer from “遭受；患病”。句意：随着天气越来越干旱，村民把水塘里的水快用完了。7. 解析：选c。with her foot wounded so much 是with复合结构，作伴随状语。8. 解析：选b。句意：在有些地方女人赚钱，而男人持家、照顾孩子。while在此表示对比。9. 解析：选d。be made up of“由组成”，在此应用过去分词作定语。be made of 和be made from 都表示“由制成”，区别是：前者的主语能看出原材料，后者的则看不出原材料；be made into “被制成”。10. 解析：选c。考查动词词义辨析。translate “翻译”；transport “运输；运送”；transform .into .“将转变成”；be made into“被制成”。.阅读理解1. 解析：选d。细节理解题。从“better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice .”看出练习朗诵诗歌是比较好的事情。符合d项所述，要进一步理解诗歌，一个人应该练习朗诵诗歌。2. 解析：选a。细节理解题。在诗歌内涵的四个方面中，poetry is “a criticism of life (对生活的批评)”， and “a heightening (提升) of life”it is “an approach to the truth of feeling (感觉真理的方法)”， and it “can save your life (拯救生命)”，不包括a项的内容“延长生命”。3. 解析：选b。细节理解题。从“i think one of our goals as teachers of english is to have students love poetry”看出作为英语教师的目的之一是使得学生喜欢诗歌。
