33、sic at The Derby Arms and Heavy Music with Tony Simon at The Bull. BA few years ago, pop poets such as Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to rock music with some surprising results. People thought that poetry was the new rock n roll. However, despite the brief popularity of a few pop poets, po
34、etry and pop music didnt seem to mix. But are they really so different?If you look back at the origins of poetry, there is a strong connection between poems and popular music. In Greek mythology, for example, the muse (女神) Erato is pictured with a lyre (里拉琴) in her hand, and looks just like the ance
35、stor of the modern rock star with his electric guitar. In addition, the poets Shelley and Byron were as famous in the nineteenth century as the pop stars of today.But despite their common origins, there are many differences between poetry and pop music. Pop songs are always written for a public perf
36、ormance, whereas poetry often isnt. And the lyrics in pop songs sometimes have less rhythm than those in poetry. This is because the music provides the rhythm rather than the words. Pop lyrics are also simpler and often keep on saying the same thing. This repetition works well in a performance and m
37、eans that pop songs are easier for people to sing and learn by heart.Both songs and poems tell a story or talk about feelings. Songs in particular deal with the different stages in a relationship, such as falling in love or breaking up. The words and ideas in songs are usually easier to understand t
38、han those in “serious” poetry. However, talented performers like Paul McCartney, or newer stars like Robbe Williams, often give simple songs more expression when they perform them. And some of the best lines from pop lyrics are as beautiful as poetry.So although pop music and poetry have many differ
39、ences, they do have one important thing in common: the power to make us think about how we feel.56. Which would be the best heading for Paragraph 4? A. A common beginning. B. An unsuccessful experiment. C. Some differences. D. A similar message.57. According to the article, what is the difference be
40、tween poetry and pop songs? A. There is more rhythm in pop songs than poetry. B. Pop songs are more difficult to understand than poetry. C. The words in pop songs are repeated over and over again. D. Pop songs are not always performed before an audience.58. What did Murray Lachlan Young do a few yea
41、rs ago? A. He came up with a way of making poetry more popular. B. He surprised people with his beautiful style of writing. C. He wrote beautiful music for some famous poems. D. He invented a new kind of poem for his fans.59. The writer compares Erato to a _. A. Greek heroB. a relative of a pop star
42、 C. a present day poetD. a classical musician60. What does the writer say about talented performers today? A. They look at poetry to find ideas for their songs. B. They think their songs are more serious than poetry. C. They give songs more meaning when they sing them. D. They consider themselves to
43、 be more popular than poets.CI was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most pa
44、rental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, Id be busy 24 hours a day. The forged excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didnt realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Pete
45、r was late because the alarm clock didnt go off.”Isnt it remarkable, I thought, how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant.So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes
46、. I said, “Theyre supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.“Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note the first class, ever, to practice writing them. Youre so lucky to have a teacher like me who has t
47、aken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study. ” Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today Id like you to write An Excuse Note from Adam to God or An Excuse Note from Eve to God.” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first ti
48、me ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “Id like you to see me in m
49、y office.”When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. ”61. What did the author do with the students found dishonest? A. H
50、e reported them to the headmaster. B. He lectured them hard on honesty. C. He had them take notes before lunch. D. He helped improve their writing skills.62. The underlined word “forged” in the second paragraph means “_”. A. former B. copied C. false D. honest63. The author found that compared with
51、the true excuse notes, the produced ones by the students were usually _. A. less imaginativeB. more impressive C. worse written D. less convincing64. The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so that the students could learn _. A. the importance of being honest B. how to write excuse
52、 notes skillfully C. the value of creative writing D. how to be creative in writing 65. What did the headmaster think of the authors way of teaching? A. Effective. B. Difficult.C. Misleading. D. Reasonable.DIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly,
53、believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they per
54、formed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite at
55、titude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among those who are against competition are young people who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often
56、 observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lo
57、st, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid
58、of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition. 66. Why do some young people suffering from competitive pressures seek failure? A. Because they dont think it worthwhile to compete with others. B. Because they are awa
59、re that they will not succeed in competition. C. Because they are afraid that they would not be valued if they lost. D. Because they are fed up with the great efforts needed to compete with others.67. The true competitors and those with a desire to fail both believe _. A. ones worth is from how well
60、 he performs in comparison with others B. ones dream can be achieved if he has mastered communication skills C. ones failure happens when he is suffering from emotional problems D. ones success is founded on how desperately he has tried68. What does the underlined word “dissolve” in the last paragra
61、ph probably mean? A. recoverB. disappear C. settleD. accumulate69. Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A. One should treat competition as a life-and-death affair. B. One should make every endeavor to avoid competition. C. One should get rid of the fear of failure in competiti
62、on. D. One should be given rewards after competing with others.70. What would be the best title of this passage? A. Competition! What Self-respect Depends on B. New meaning in Competition Found C. Competition Turns Friends into Enemies D. Mistaken Beliefs about Competition 第卷（非选择题，35分）第四部分：写作 （共两节,

Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hour work culture to make mo
64、re money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or hobbies. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of the workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted ar
65、e Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she worked for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Nearly twice a month Daniel had to fly to New York for
66、 meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by. Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have one here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. Its taken some time getting used to
67、, but its been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work an
68、d long hours. Im not really a country girl, but I suppose Im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”
