阅读理解
Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Epic (史诗) of Gilgamesh, composed 4,000 years ago in what is
now Iraq and Syria. Early poems developed from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, or from a need to retell
the actions of great men and women or about a nation’s history.
Ancient attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle’s Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric,
drama, song and comedy. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and thyme, and
emphasized the aesthetics (美学) which distinguish poetry from more objectively informative forms of writing.
From the mid-20th century, poetry has been more generally regarded as a creative act employing language. Poetry
uses forms to suggest different interpretation to words, or to produce emotive responses. Devices such as rhythm
are used to achieve musical effects. The use of ambiguity (模糊不清), symbolism, and other stylistic elements of
poetic description often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly figures of speech such as
metaphor and simile create a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived.
Some poetry types are specific to particular cultures and respond to characteristics of the language in which
the poet writes. Readers used to identifying poetry with Dante, Goethe, and Rumi may think of it as written in lines
based on rhyme and regular meter; there are, however, traditions that use other means to create rhythm. Muchmodern poetry reflects a criticism of poetic tradition, playing with and testing the principle of rhyme itself,
sometimes altogether giving up rhyme or set rhythm. In today’s increasingly globalized world, poets often adapt
forms, styles and techniques from diverse cultures and languages.
62．What did early poetry originate from?
A．Folk songs. B．Ethnic music.
C．Ancient stories. D．Historical events.
63．What do we know about poetry according to paragraph 2?
A．Modern poetry study focuses on the uses of speech.
B．Poetry uses rhythm to achieve good visual effects.
C．Poetry has been treated as a creative act for years.
D．Form makes poetry different from other writings.
64．What can be inferred about modern poetry?
A．Poets will strictly follow the principle of rhyme.
B．Poets will adapt more diverse forms and styles.
C．Poets will emphasize local language characteristics.
D．Poets will develop new forms of figures of speech.
65．Where is the text most probably taken from?
A．Science fiction. B．Newspaper.
C．Fashion magazine. D．Encyclopedia.
七选五
When my school offered the opportunity to take part in a School Challenge, I didn’t hesitate to sign up for
the initial meeting. 66 We decided to plan a three-week adventure in Romania.
Of course, it was not a case of simply signing up and paying the money. 67 We arranged a variety of
events for the purpose. We had decided to go to a remote rural village and to work with a team of local people to
improve the school buildings.
We had been warned that our trip would not be a holiday and that things would not always go to plan. We
certainly experienced the difficulties during the trip. 68 This meant that they were too weak to continue
walking and we were not able to travel as far as we had intended. In fact, one of the team quit the journey.
69 I never got tired of watching the sun rise every morning over the pine forests. Feeding the bears in
the sanctuary was also incredible. I would never have imagined that these powerful creatures could be so gentle and
calm. My best memory, though, was working on the school building project. I will never forget the hospitality andkindness of the villagers. They cooked us amazing meals and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable
and welcome.
My School Challenge trip influenced my life in so many ways. It gave me a taste for independence and
adventure, and certainly made me want to travel more. 70 Not having television, internet and hot running
water for three weeks was certainly a challenge, but in many ways enjoyed living a simpler life for a short time.
A．This had to be raised by us to fund the trip.
B．Despite the obstacles, it was a truly amazing trip.
C．Above all though, it has made me realise how easy my life is.
D．It was much more challenging than I thought it would be at times.
E．This was where we met other team members and chose our destination.
F．However, we wouldn’t be spending any time there until the end of the trip.
G．For example, a few people became ill because we were so high up in the mountains.
