She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss; she went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia, Canada when she was five. Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry.At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moores poetry and met “Ms. Moore” and began their life-long friendship. She later met poet Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them, which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life. Bishops poetry is sometimes considered objective and cold because it shows almost nothing about the poet or her life.Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. She would spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast. Over a lifetime of writing, she only published about 275 pages of poetry, and about 40 of those are translations. She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment shes writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene. It seems shes always asking us to notice more, and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that its almost painful like a light thats too bright. It might take your eyes a while to get used to it, but once they do, youll like what you see.5What do we know about Bishops early life?A. She started to write poems at five.B. She was always encouraged by her parents.C. She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.D. She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.6What can we say about Bishops poetic creation?A. She liked to write in the morning.B. She could write poems at high speed.C. She tried her best to achieve perfection.D. She published hundreds of books of poetry.7 Which can be used to describe the style of Bishops poems? A. Exact.B. Informal.C. Humorous.D. Enthusiastic.CAt school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my Alevel subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say, “Its great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do？” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology this kind of questions.A survey recently showed that three of the bestpaid jobs for women are in the technology sector. Its a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days its as important as reading and writing. Ive realized that at university Id achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limits your impact on the world far more than some ignorance of great literature.Now I have a fiveyearold daughter. I dont want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. Im exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problemsolving skills. Im hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potential in science and want to change the world.8What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Personal learning style.B. Sex characteristic.C. Conventional(传统的) sex concept.D. Profession difference.9According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?A. Increasing job possibility.B. Winning popularity.C. Improving language competence.D. Enriching imagination.10How did the author feel for her major choice?A. Satisfied.B. Active.C. Discouraged. D. Regretful.11What may be the best title for the text?A. Art or Science, Either Is OKB. Good Subjects, Good FutureC. Girls, Choose More WiselyD. Catch Chances, Change the WorldDMost of the 20th century has been a development on the Industrial Revolution taken to an extreme: people now own more products than ever before; there are enough nuclear weapons to destroy the earth several times over; there is hardly any forest left and pollution has got to the point where we buy water. Within a few years I predict you will be able to buy air. (There once was a time when you didnt need to buy food or shelter either.)Important developments in the last century are the breaking down of the class structures left over from the Industrial Revolution stage, bringing with it the empowerment of the “common man”: the working day is set by law to only 8 hours a day; everyone has the vote; the media has less obvious government control; people have landed on the moon, sent spacecrafts to Mars and so on. Families have also shrunk drastically (剧烈地); the nuclear family came about, and especially in the last half of the 20th century, oneparent families are becoming more common. This shrinking in the size of the family shows the increased independence of peopleonce upon a time people had to live in large groups to survive.As humans have “become the gods”, they have realized their individuality and independence and taken their control of the world to an extreme. In many countries the land is almost completely used in the production of food and as living space and they live in small cities which are entirely human constructed, made from materials which are also entirely human constructed (concrete bricks) with hardly any remains of nature. Weeds are poisoned because they are messy; even parks have trees grown in tidy lines; grass is mowed to keep it short and so on. I think the massive drug “problem” troubling people is a result of too much of this influence, humans needing to escape the stark world they have created by entering fantasy worlds.Over the last 100 years, the 20th century consciousness has spread throughout the world; most of Asia has been thoroughly “Westernized”, and most of the Third World is being overrun by Western ways of doing things and living.12Whats the author most concerned about?A. The influence of pollution.B. Strong effects of development.C. Changed positions of humans as gods.D. The process of the Industrial Revolution.13What is the authors attitude towards the changes of the 20th century?A. Objective.B. Tolerant.C. Vague. D. Negative.14What does the underlined word “stark” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Unfair. B. Illegal.C. Dull. D. Violent.15What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mens individuality is over controlled.B. People have damaged nature too much.C. Mens independence is partially limited.D. People show concern for nuclear families.第二部分 完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，从各题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。My fiance (未婚夫) and I were excited about shopping for our first home.
