Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end. 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.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”.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 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.56. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should_.A. discuss it with othersB. analyze it by oneselfC. copy it down in a notebookD. practise reading it aloud57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry? _A. Extending your life.B. Saving your lifeC. Criticizing lifeD. Heightening life58 According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students _.A. to understand lifeB. to enjoy poetryC. to become teachersD. to become poets59. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? _A. More stress was laid on the understanding of poetry in the past.B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.BSpecial trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US.When 40 per cent of Hawaiis US$14 million-a-year papaya (木瓜)industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered trees.Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees.Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood. Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil.Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper.The Pentagon (五角大楼) even gave the researchers US$500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack.So far, the poplar, eucalyptus (杨树与桉树), apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered. All this can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes.However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment.It could be destructive, said Jim Diamond, an environmentalist. Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species.But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the environment can be controlled.60. What trees are NOT the ones that scientists are planting in the US?A. Trees that worms cant hurt.B. Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack.C. Trees that can resist wind better.D. Trees that can improve soil conditions.61. What caused the American scientists to work on special trees?A. They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.B. Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses.C. Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus.D. Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees.62 Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered?A. Papaya.B. Pine.C. Apple.D. Poplar.63. The best title of the passage is .A. The improvement of environmentB. The side-effects of special treesC. The development of special treesD. the program of genetically engineered treesCBAD(C)Digging for historyLife during the Zhou Dynasty (1066-221 B.C.) is about to become more exposed to us. An excavation(挖掘)team started work at the site of the Duke Zhou Temple in Qishan County, Shanxi Province last week.The large tomb is quite likely to belong to the family of Duke Zhou, a noble at that time. It might be the most important archaeological(考古)discovery since 1949. The archaeologists said that the excavation might change peoples understanding of the history of the Zhou Dynasty.Young scientistsTwo American Chinese students were among the winners of the “Mayors Awards for Excellence in Science and Technology” in New York on October 13.Both of the teens, Mouchung NG and Yin Li graduated from American middle schools this summer. They won the award for their achievements in regional and national science competitions. The annual awards recognize important members of the citys science and engineering communities.Arctic disputeThe North Pole has become an international hot spot. Denmark has begun scientific research to help the country claim the North Pole, a British newspaper reported last week.Denmark is trying to prove that its island of Greenland is connected to the Arctic ice. This attempt has angered other countries around the North Pole, including the US, Canada and Russia. They also want a piece of the Arctic. The North Pole is regarded as an international area, which is rich in gas an oil that have not been explored.64. The excavation will probably _.A. make people better understand the history of ZhouB. expose the life of the Chinese people to usC. prove how powerful a noble he wasD. find the body of Duke Zhou65.

They will help shoppers find cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.The touch-screen devices are on show at the Food Marketing Institutes exhibition here this week. “These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker, ” said Michael Alexander, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBMs “shopping buddy,” has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.“The whole model is driven by advertisers need to get in front of shoppers,” said Alexander. “Theyre not watching 30-second TV ads anymore.”People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system that will organize the trip around the store. If youre looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.The devices also keep a record of what you buy. When youre finished , the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.The new computerized shopping assistants dont come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $160,000, and the Concierge will cost stores about $500 for each device.67 What does the underlined word “they”(Paragraph1)refer to?A. Supermarkets. B. Shop assistants. C. Shopping carts. D. Shop managers.68 Which of the following is the correct order of shopping with the computerized shopping carts?a. Start the system. b. Make a shopping list.c. Find the things you want. d. Go to a self-checkout stand.A. a-b-d-c B. b-a-c-d C. a-c-b-d D. b-c-a-d69 What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Intelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of money.B. The Concierge is cheaper than the Buddy devices.C. Shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid.D. Average stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices.70 What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. New age for supermarkets.B. Concierge and Shopping Buddy.C. Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable.D. New computers make shopping carts smarter.CBAD(E)The Great Wall of China can, indeed, be seen from outer space with the naked(赤裸的)eye.So education officials, who felt worried about changing textbookswhich have long held that the Great Wall and the dykes(堤堰)in the Netherlands were the only man-made structures visible from spacecan breathe easy.Yang Liwei, the nations first spaceman, disappointed a lot of Chinese when he said he did not see the wall during his orbit of less than 24 hours in October 2020, giving rise to calls for revisions in textbooks.But there is a rider: There are many, many structures which can also be seen, such as the Pyramids of Egypt, airports, highways and even Beijings Third Ring Road.Undoubtedly, it requires an atmospheric “perfect storm” in outer space, defined as an altitude of about 350 km and you have to be in the right place at the right time, amid(在中)the right conditions to spot a particular structure. Chinese-American spaceman Leroy Chiao, who has been on three space flights and is currently coming to the end of his six-month stint(期限)on the joint US-Russian space station, has provided the first photographic evidence of sections of the Great Wall using commercially available equipment.According to Chiao, the chances of shooting the Great Wall area are “maybe once every few days and only during daylight every three months.” Since late March, Chiao has had just one opportunity to fly over the Great Wall, but the weather was dangerous. He has one last chance before he is scheduled to land in Kazakhstan on April 25and he will be keeping a sharp lookout.71. Now the education officials “can breathe easy” because they know _.A. they dont need to change the textbooksB. theyve not been seriously mistakenC. what Yang Liwei said was not trueD. they can revise the textbooks as wished72. What does the underlined word “rider” in the 4th paragraph possibly mean?A. An imagined conclusion.B. An added statement.C. A person in a spaceship.D. A strange thing.73. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Yang Liwei orbited around the earth in less than 24 hours.B. Le
