fire and ice and stopping by woods on a snowy evening. though he is widely read, frost is also one of the most misunderstood writers in the united states for the complexity of his poems.though born in california, frost was brought up in new england, where he is inseparably linked. after dropping out of dartmouth college to seek his literary dream, he remained upset for years, producing collections of works but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile. finally, frost left the united states in 1912 to see whether his work might be better received in london. it was, and in 1913 his first full collection was published in great britain. fellow american poet amy lowell adored frosts work and brought it back to the united states, publicizing it insistently. soon afterwards frosts collections became bestsellers, and he became a famous figure.from then on, frost was on his way to the lifelong respect and recognition for his achievements in poetry. in 1961, he was invited to read a poem for the presidential inauguration(总统就职典礼) of john fkennedy. he recited his poem, the gift outright, from memory at the ceremony. this was perhaps his last poetry reading in front of a wide national audience before his death in 1963.more importantly, frost became the first poet to read a poem at a presidential inauguration.【解题导语】文章主要介绍了美国伟大的诗人robert

useful treatment for depression.the finding that music therapy offers a real medical benefit to depression sufferers comes from a review by cochrane, a nonprofit group that reviews health care issues. some studies looked at the effects of providing music therapy to patients who were receiving drug treatment for depression. others compared music therapy to traditional talk therapy. in four out of five of the trials, music therapy worked better at easing depression symptoms than therapies that did not employ music, the researchers found.“while the evidence came from a few small studies, it suggests that this is an area that is well worth further investigation，” said lead author anna maratos. ms. maratos notes that music therapy might be particularly useful for adolescents who may reject a traditional form of counseling. some older patients also may not be comfortable talking about their feelings but do tend to express themselves through songs.there are two main types of music therapy. sometimes, a therapist will listen to music with a patient and talk about the feelings or memories that it arouses. in another form, the therapist is a skilled musician and will improvise(即兴创作) music with the patient. if the patient doesnt play an instrument, he or she might be given a simple percussion instrument(打击乐器) and the therapist will play along.other studies have shown a benefit from music therapy in the treatment for dementia, learning disabilities, strokes and pain management during labor(分娩). the problem is that there isnt very much highquality research.“it doesnt easily attract serious research funding. its difficult to do highquality, largescale trials，” said ms. maratos.【解题导语】一项新的研究表明，音乐有助于治疗抑郁症。它比药物治疗和谈心疗法在减轻抑郁症症状上更有效果，对痴呆、学习障碍、中风等治疗也有益处。但由于缺乏大量研究资金支持，研究人员在音乐疗法的疗效方面无法进行高质量、大规模的研究。5which of the following treatments is not mentioned in the research?adrug

presented as a birthday gift.my heart went out to my daughter. starting out at a new school had been a difficult adjustment. until she met susan, holly had experienced little success in making new friends.the whispered “thanks” was barely audible(听得见的) as holly tried not to allow her disappointment to show. she laid the carpet on the kitchen counter, and they headed outside to play. the extent of hollys disappointment didnt become evident until the following evening when she came downstairs to say good night. “well, i guess we know how much my best friend thinks of me, huh, mom？” she said with tears. “im so sorry, honey” was all i could manage to say.the next morning, i carried the kitchen rubbish outside. my heart sank as i lifted the lid of the trash can and saw susans carpet lying there. hesitating only for a moment, i took it out and brought it into the house.“susan invited me to come over to her house tomorrow，” holly announced as she arrived home from school a week later. although her voice carried a sowhat attitude, i sensed she was pleased about the invitation. in spite of the number of times susan had visited with us, our invitations were never returned and it would be the first time for holly to go.the next day i drove holly to the destination. a tall woman stood in the doorway to greet us. the house was shabby but neatly decorated with used furniture. from the chat with the woman we knew susan had long been separated from her parents and she was susans stepmother. a warm light shone in her eyes as she revealed to me her fondness for susan. i came to respect

coming back home, holly sat on the sofa motionlessly, crossing her fingers in her lap, with sorrow and regret written all over her tearstained face. half confused, half concerned, i softly asked her what happened. hesitating for a moment, she murmured, “i threw away the carpet.” meanwhile, large bright drops of tears rolled heavily down her cheeks. i stroked her shoulders and took out the carpet from the kitchen.paragraph 2：i placed the carpet on the table in front of her. in a split second, she curved her lips into a broad smile through tears. she jumped up, screaming in an excited voice, and wrapped her arms around me like a vice. then she gave the carpet a light brush. watching it hang in the yard, holly smiled with satisfaction. she called susan, apologized for her behaviour and expressed her sincere gratitude. she said the carpet was the most precious birthday gift she had ever received in the whole world.写作新题型一

practice roping.” aj. wanted to enter the rodeos(竞技表演) in which cowboys rode wild horses, and caught cattle with ropes.the best professionals could break from the gate on horseback, rope a calf(小牛), and hogtie the calf in less than ten seconds. so far, aj. needed nearly a minute and a half, but hed only been at it a few months.the truck bounced down the dirt road. in a few minutes, they turned through the field gate. aj. pulled a pair of telescopes(望远镜). the black spots of cows on the far hill took shape. the cows gathered around the pond. aj. guessed they wanted the water locked under the ice. the windmillpowered water pumps sometimes froze, leaving the cows with nothing to drink.as they reached the top of the hill, they heard extremely frightened shouts from one cow and an answering bellow from another. dad stopped the truck, and he and aj. stared at the frozen pond anxiously.a calf lay on the ice in the middle of the pond. a cow, no doubt the calfs mother, stood onshore, shouting desperately. the calf struggled to get up but slipped and fell each time.suddenly, the morning sun seemed warmer. too warmer. aj. knew that the situation was urgent. if the calf lay there too long, she could fall through the ice and drown.dad eased the pickup down the hill and stopped at the edge of the pond. “no telling how long shes been there，” he said.“the ice could be about to melt through. i dont think we can risk it.”“but, dad.” dad shook his head. “its just not safe.”paragraph 1：aj. watched the calf, whose eyes were wide with fright._paragraph 2：it would be just like rodeo practice, aj. thought, trying to stay calm._one possible version：paragraph 1：aj. watched the calf, whose eyes were wide with fright. “let me go，” aj. begged. “im light. the ice will hold me. its her only chance.” “im sorry, son.” dad still refused. aj. begged again, “you could tie a rope to me. ill go out on my stomach to spread out my weight. if the ice cracks, you can pull me back. just let me get within roping distance.” dad frowned but finally said, “all right. be careful.”paragraph 2：it would be just like rodeo practice, aj. thought, trying to stay calm. he walked out a few feet onto the ice, then dropped to his stomach and crawled. the ice was thinner out where the calf was. aj. swallowed his own fear. with frozen fingers, he wound his rope into a circle. he took a deep breath, and then threw the rope. success! the loop settled around the calfs neck. he started pulling in the rope. in a couple of minutes, the calf was back on solid ground, where her mother was waiting.写作新题型二 (建议用时：25分钟)阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。my sister priscilla and i just came back from a weeklong vacation in portugal with lots of photos. ill remember so many wonderful things about my trip to the cities of lisbon and porto, but one experience in particular sticks out, something that happened on our last night in lisbon.before the trip, i put together a very detailed route of places to see. one of the mustvisit places on my list was livraria do simo, the smallest bookstore in lisbon. on our very first day in lisbon, priscilla and i searched for it. we found the oldest bookstore in the world. but the smallest one was impossible to find! back at the hotel where we had wifi, i looked the bookstore up again, hoping wed have time to find it on another day. but our schedule was delayed, and we probably wouldnt have time to look for it.on our last full day in lisbon, priscilla and i took a day trip to cascais, a coastal town outside the city. we decided, at the last minute, to visit a historic flea market(跳蚤市场). we walked for about an hour, up many steep hills. when we finally reached the market, completely out of breath, all the sellers were closing up. not to mention that we were both tired and hungry. priscilla and i argued over the directions. i insisted we turn right, which ended up being another bad decision. we climbed up more steep hills, farther and farther away from any area we recognized. we made another right turn onto a random street and priscilla stopped to check the map. meanwhile, i looked up at the street sign, rua da madalena. id heard that name before. we continued a little farther up the street, and i spotted a few people hanging out in a lane. there was something particularly familiar about the scene. i looked closer. there

version：paragraph 1：oh my goodness! the bookstore! the very one priscilla and i had so badly wanted to find on our very first day. we took lots of photos of it in amazement. our delight must have been noticeable because one of the guys standing outside the store started telling me that its the smallest bookstore in this city! not until he led us inside the bookstore did we know that he was the owner of the bookstore. inside this small store, we became so addicted to
