21、s it the look on the recipients face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom say
22、ing that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the br
23、ight blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the
24、 cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. Th
25、e poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that sha
26、ped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dads face as he unwrapped those black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.41. The authors inspiration for the gift c
27、ame from_.A. a photo of a flowerB. a story about a kidC. a call from the motherD. a text about Christmas42. The author made the gift by _.A. searching for the poems online B. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colors D. matching the words with pictures43. What is the main
28、 purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for giftsB. To suggest making gifts from ones heartC. To explain how computers help create giftsD. To describe the gifts the author has receivedBIt is of great importance for students to be able to get a feel for the rhythm and sounds of a poem
29、-more so than for most pieces of prose (散文). This isnt always easy in a second language, and so listening to their teacher read the poem, or to a professional recording, perhaps by the poet or by an actor, is, I feel, necessary.As with any listening activity, students will need some kind of preparat
30、ion and task so that they can be actively engaged. They might be asked to check predictions that arose from a warm-up discussion, to compare their suggested rhyming couplets with the poets, or to identify stressed words and syllables.You might also want to get your students to listen to recorded or
31、live discussions about poems. This can, for example, take the form of a couple of teachers or a group of students giving their views on a poem, or even an interview with the poet.Im a big fan of jigsaw listening because of the natural information gap. If your school has the facilities, you might lik
32、e to:divide your students into two, or even three groupsgive each group a different cassette or CD and tasks to work onthen they come back together to share what they have learned.Remember that your own enthusiasm is a key factor in any activity relating to literature in the classroom.Finally, dont
33、forget to encourage art for arts sake. Listening for pleasure, to poetry (or to anything else, for that matter), is to be fostered at every opportunity, because of the obvious benefits which include motivation, vocabulary acquisition and learner independence. Many good song lyrics (歌词) could be term
34、ed poetry and treated accordingly in the classroom, copyright rules permitting.44. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. An English student will have difficulty understanding Li Bais poems.B. an English student will have some difficulty understanding Walt Whitman.C. A Chinese st
35、udent will have some difficulty understanding Du Fus works.D. An American student will have some difficulty understanding William Shakespeare.45. What kind of preparations should the students do in the listening activity？a. Theyd better predict what the poem is about.b. Theyd better have a warm-up d
36、iscussion.c. They will share their own works with their classmatesd. They should know the stressed words.e. They should make clear the stressed syllables.f. They should first go to an actor.A. abcfB. abdeC. cdefD. bcdf46. Who do you think is this passage written for?A. The students.B. The poets.C. T

38、oint of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized (免疫) from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and medical treatment. It is almost certain that one day cures will be found for the most stubborn rem
39、aining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable slaughter (屠杀) of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle w
40、hich man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt
41、that the motor-car often brings out a mans very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and absolutely selfish. All their hidden disappointments and reg
42、rets seem to be brought by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles so kindly on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost impossible to live in because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by hu
43、ge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.It is high time a world system of laws were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. As for driving, the laws of some countries are
44、 not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young peopl
45、e are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can affect a persons driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stric
46、ter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be introduced on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications (规范) for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately severe. But surely n
47、othing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.48. The main idea of this passage is_.A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.B. Thousands of people the world over are killed each
48、year.C. The laws of some countries about driving are not too strict.D. Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.49. What does the author think of society toward motorists?A. Society laughs at the motorists.B. Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.C. Victims of accidents are nothin
49、g. D. Society forgives their rude driving.50. Why does the author say: “his car becomes the extension of his personality?”A. Driving can show his real self.B. Driving can show the other part of his personality.C. Driving can bring out his character.D. His car can express his temper.51. The attitude
50、of the author is_.A. ironicalB. criticalC. appealingD. favorableDArthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20thcentury. Millers father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary,drawn like so many others by the Great American Dream. However, he exper
51、ienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.Millers most famous play,Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence（坚持，强调） on money and social status as
52、 indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is burnt out and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment（感伤）: if he cant do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go
53、. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New
54、York Drama Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman
55、on Broadway.52. Why did Arthur Millers father move to the USA?A. He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.B. He was attracted by the Great American DreamC. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.D. His family business failed.53. The playDeath of a Salesman_.A. exposes the cruelty of the Amer
56、ican business worldB. discusses the ways to get promoted in a companyC. talks about the business career of Arthur MillerD. focuses on the skills in doing business54. What can we learn about Willy Loman?A. He treats his employer badly. B. He runs the Wagner Company.C. He is a victim of the American s
57、ystem. D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.55. What is the text mainly about?A. Arthur Miller and his family B. The awards Arthur Miller wonC. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced D.
