21、hing for their children.Whether it would be the food,clothes,or the place they live in,parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything.One of the biggest concerns that parents 5currently have is educating their children.They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes
22、to education for their young ones.Choices include private school,charter school,public school or home schooling.Fortunately for parents，there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to in-crease their childs overall intelligence.According to Ross A.Thompson,PhD,professor of
23、 psychology at the University of California at Davis,a childs brain will actually reach 90%of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem,the lower section of the brai

30、e read poetry?First obvious one:because we enjoy it.The only other reason is for academic purposes,and thats not why this is here.Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost,and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is.So in that way poetry calms
31、 our anxiety.There are many different kinds of poems.They are not all calming.Some poems make me anxious,angry,scared,and sad,which is why I value them.As a reader,I want a full meal,not just dessert.I want the sweet and the bitter.Often,I read poetry when Im already relaxed.In fact,I read more when
32、 Im not stressed out.Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry,as far as I can tell.Metrical(格律的)poems are about setting up rules and then bending them.Usually,this is done by setting up a rhythm and then violating it or almost violating it.And then returning to it again.This satisfies my desire
33、 for order and also my desire for testing boundaries.Poetry plays with language and often slams words together in surprising ways,which is thrilling the way food can be when the chef has paired ingredients you never thought would taste good together but somehow do.Many poems are dense.Words mean two
34、 or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines.This is intellectually inspiring and it allows me to read the same poem over and over always finding new things in it.And,of course,theres the subject matter.It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explore
35、d in a story or essay.Not all poems interest me in this way,but then not all stories and essays do,either.32.What kind of poems does the author probably enjoy reading?A.Academic poems.B.Valuable poems.C.Poems that calm readers down.D.Poems that arouse feelings.33.What does the underlined word it in
36、Paraglaph4 refer to?A.Setting up a rhythmB.PoetryC.Violating rulesD.Rhythm.34.Why does poetry appeal to the author?A.It plays with words.B It sounds surprising.C.It is rich in meaning.D It is filled with new ideas.35.What can we infer from the text?A.The author doesnt like all the essays.B.Reading p
37、oems requires patience.C.The subject counts a lot to the author.D.Writing poems is similar to cooking.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What is eco-fashion?Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment,the health of consumers and the wor
38、king conditions of people in the fashion industry.36Firstly,the production of textiles（纺织品）pollutes the environment heavily.Cotton planting uses pesticides（杀虫剂）；sheep farming and wool cleaning contribute to global warming；Secondly,every stage of 7clothing production has a significant effect on the e
39、nvironment.They all use a great deal of energy,and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings.37Thirdly,growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects.We are now so quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
