核心素养测评二十七选修6 Unit 2 Poems(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AI began writing poems fifteen years ago while I was in college. One day I was in the library, working on a term paper, when I came across a book of contemporary poetry. I don’t remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one: Frankenstein’s Daughter. The poem was wild, almost rude, and nothing like the rhyme-and-meter poetry I had read in high school. I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach, but that library book contained direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs, junked cars, rundown houses, and TVs. I checked the book out, curious to read more.Soon afterward, I started filling a notebook with my own poems. At first I was scared, partly because my poetry teacher, to whom this book is written for, was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems. Also, I realized the seriousness of my devotion. I gave up geography to study poetry, which a good many friends said offered no future. I ignored them because I liked working with words, using them to reconstruct the past, which has always been a source of poetry for me.When I first studied poetry, I was single-minded. I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry. I memorized poems, read English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems, and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my work. But I was most taken by the Spanish and Latin American poets, particularly Pablo Neruda. My favorites of his were the odes—long, short-lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes, socks and scissors. I felt joyful when I read these odes, and when I began to write my own poems, I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood—dogs, alleys (小巷), my baseball mitts (手套) and the fruit of the valley, especially the orange. I wantedto give these things life, to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.I a lso admired our own country’s poetry. I saw that our poets often wrote about places where they grew up or places that impressed them deeply. James Wright wrote about Ohio and West Virginia, Philip Levine about Detroit, Gary Snyder about the Sierra Nevadas and about Japan, where for years he studied Zen Buddhism (禅宗佛教). I decided to write about the San Joaquin Valley, where my hometown, Fresno, is located. Some of my poems are absolute observations and images of nature — the orange yards, the Kings River, the Sequoias (红杉). I fell in love with the valley, both its ugliness and its beauty, and quietly wrote poems about it to share with others.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

often tell me that they do not have “enough time” to do all their homework.My response often is “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty­four hours in the day for everyone，and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school，I tried to prove to my professor that I was working hard.His answer was “That’s irrelevant (不相干)．What’s important is the quality of your work.” That led me to a new idea：the quality of the work，which is perhaps best explained in a sign：“Don’t_work_harder.Work smarter.”If you can’t get more time，as few of us can，the only solution is to improve the quality of your work.That means improving ways to get more out of the same time.That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits，which for students should be read as “study habits”．Then as a smart student，you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study，chiefly reading and writing.If you can，it will pay off in all your subjects.As to improving reading，one suggestion is to take a quick nap when you feel reading puts you to sleep，which later helps you read better.The second solution is to speed up.But there are other issues.First，you need to find a place where you can work without unnecessary disturbances.Second，you need to take control.Success depends on realizing that you have to take active control over what you are doing.Third，you might as well get hold of a good book on reading and master the reading skills that pay off in all your classes.Talking about advice on good writing habits，you simply have to master the writing skills.Increasing your efficiency in both reading and writing will pay off immediately in terms of the quality of your work and in terms of the time spent doing it.Then you will be able to do better work in less time.And maybe you will find time to play golf with the president.1．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．In fact，everyone has as much time as the president.B．The key to having enough time is to improve work quality.C．Reading and writing matter a lot in finishing homework.D．Not having enough time is unacceptable for unfinished work.2．According to the author，the students do not have enough time to get their work done mainly because________.A．they lack good learning habitsB．they only have 24 hours a dayC．they feel sleepy while readingD．they are not good at writing3．The author believes a most important way for a student to improve work quality is to________.A．improve reading and writing skillsB．find a quiet place to read and writeC．take control over his or her workD．read and write in all classes4．According to the passage，“Don’t work harder” means that________.A．one should not be more devoted to one’s workB．one should not spend more time in workingC．working harder is not allowed in our daily lifeD．working harder is not the key point in workUnit 2PoemsⅠ.单项填空1．【解析】选D。

One of the main goals of the day, according to UNESCO, is to support linguistic(语言的) diversity through poetic expression.Chinese poetry has a long history that dates back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. It became extremely popular during the Tang and Song dynasties. Even today, classic poems are still loved by a lot of people.And even TV series featuring classic poetry are hugely popular. For example, in the 2011 hit period drama, Empresses in the Palace, classic poems recited by the show's characters are often quoted(引用) by Internet users. One of the drama's most moving songs was adapted from a verse(韵文) written by Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty.Meanwhile, the TV show Chinese Poetry Competition, which features classic works from famous Chinese poets, is also a big success.“In poetry, I've found echoes(共鸣) of human emotions, including happiness, anger, joy and sorrow，” one of the show's contestants(参赛者) told CCTV.“When I read ancient texts, I feel I reach the depths of these poems and find the real meanings of them.”Classic poetry has become an important way to pass on and spread traditional Chinese culture. The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China released(发布)new curriculum standards for high schools that recommended students to recite 72 ancient poems or articles, up from 14.Indeed, many people believe that learning classic poems is important in today'sworld.“Through the bridge of poetry, people today can resonate(产生共鸣) with the values of our ancestors. Their wisdom has gained new life in the modern world，” Yao Xishuang, director of the Department of Language Application and Administration told CCTV.语篇导读本文介绍了联合国教科文组织设立“世界诗歌日”的初衷，以及诗歌在社会发展中的重要性。

Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time.Lucille Clifton was born Thelma Lucille Sayles in Depew, New York in 1936. She was named Thelma after her mother. Lucille was the name of one of her father's ancestors. When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.Lucille Clifton began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother's lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew.While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors, especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia. Lucille Clifton wrote about it in her poem called Lucy.She often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world.Unlike her mother, Lucille Clifton's poetry was anything but traditional. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. They do not deal in makebelieve. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. There is very little punctuation(标点) and even less capitalization. Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art.11. Which of the following may be the reason why Lucille Clifton chose to call herself Lucille instead of Thelma?A．To show her love to her mother.B．To show her love to her beloved teacher.C．To show respect to her great－grandmother.D．To show her respect to a great poet.12. From the passage, we know that Lucille Clifton is ________.A．funny B．creativeC．selfish D．beautiful13. What can be inferred from the passage?A．Lucille Clifton's parents affected her a lot.B．Lucille Clifton's poetry was very traditional.C．Thelma Sayles published many poems.D．Lucille Clifton's poetry was very formal.14. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Lucille Clifton's great works.B．Lucille Clifton's poem background.C．Lucille Clifton's poem style.D．Lucille Clifton's poem words.15. The underlined pronoun “it” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.A．Samuel CliftonB．Samuel Clifton's experienceC．Samuel Clifton's grandmotherD．Lucille's great－grandmother's storyBDu Fu(712～770) was one of the greatest poets in the Tang Dynasty. His poetry first came to be recognized at the Tang Dynasty. Readers of many different periods have considered Du Fu to be the greatest poet of the Chinese tradition. Such general agreement can partially be explained by the immense variety of his works, which hold up quite well to different tastes and historical changes in fashion. Like Shakespeare in English tradition, Du Fu's poetry came to be so deeply bound up with the constitution of literary value that generation after generation of poets and critics rediscovered themselves and their interests in some aspect of the poet.Chinese critics from the Song Dynasty referred to Du Fu as the “poet－historian”. Both before and after the An Lushan Revolt, Du Fu witnessed a typical political and social situation: the common people still lived in poverty while the emperor and his top officials enjoyed a foolishly luxurious life. He composed many poems such as Song of the War Chariots, Three Officials，and Three Departures. His poems expressed his dissatisfaction with the government and his great pity for the common people. Du Fu used his poems to comment on current events and historical images. Du Fu became the historian by creating his responses to particular situations.Du Fu was talented. When he was young, he wanted to get a good job in the government.Unfortunately Du Fu was refused several times. It was in his fifties that he began to serve as a minor official in Chang'an (Xi'an). Gongbu was his official title and probably he was in charge of the local industry.Du Fu was not a skilled survivor in government politics. He was dismissed in the form of a transfer to the post of personnel administrator in Huazhou and so left Chang'an. Du Fu soon gave up this minor post in disgust and set off with his family to Qinzhou in the northwest. After a short stay he moved on again and in 759 he arrived in Chengdu. He set up a modest cottage with some money he borrowed from his friend who served as a local governor. In the cottage he had a simple and peaceful life for three years, writing about 240 poems. Mostly inspired by the cottage, the stream nearby and the scenery in Chengdu, these poems give the impression that he was happier in Chengdu than any other time in his life. The poems of this period sound relaxed and happy.Du Fu left Chengdu after 762 and wandered in the southern provinces and eventually died of illness in 770. After his death, the people of Chengdu built a shrine on the site of his garden to honor him, which is known as part of Du Fu Thatched Cottage now.16．Why does the author compare Du Fu to Shakespeare?A．Du Fu's poetry was written following Shakespeare's style.B．Du Fu's poetry referred to the social change critically.C．Du Fu and Shakespeare were best friends.D．Shakespeare read a lot of Du Fu's poems.17．Du Fu ________ when he was young.A．didn't want to be an officialB．was worried about the educationC．wasn't liked by the emperorD．was not offered an opportunity to work in the government18．What did Du Fu describe in most of his poems?A．The luxurious life that the emperor and his top officials enjoyed.B．His happy life.C．His responses to particular situations.D．His dissatisfaction with the government and his great pity for the common people.19．What did people do after Du Fu died according to the passage?A．They built a shrine to honor him.B．They rebuilt the cottage he had lived into a high building.C．They destroyed his cottage.D．They made a carved statue of him.20．What's the best title of the passage?A．Du Fu－the most important politician in the Tang DynastyB．The origin of Du Fu Thatched CottageC．Du Fu－one of the greatest poets in the Tang DynastyD．Du Fu was not a skilled survivor in government politicsⅢ.读写任务阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

2019-2020年高考英语一轮复习考点规范练27 Unit 2 Poems 新人教版选修6Ⅰ.阅读理解Music can make us feel happy or peaceful,energize us to dance,or move us to tears.As an orchestra conductor,Amy Andersson allows people to experience the many feelings that music can inspire.Andersson fell in love with music as a child.She sang in school choirs and musicals starting in first grade,began studying piano at age seven,and started posing at age nine.Although her school district had no orchestra,she says,“I bought many recordings of the worl d’s great orchestras and conductors and listened to them for hours on end.”During a concert,the audience sees the back of a conductor and the arm movements she or he uses to lead the orchestra.What audiences do not see is all the work the conductor has done beforehand to prepare for the performance—first alone,and then in rehearsals(排练) with the orchestra.Months before a concert,Andersson studies a piece of music by playing it on the piano.She decides how she wants each section to sound.Should it be fast or slow?Loud or soft?She listens to recordings,reads about the poser’s life,and reviewshistorical events that would have influenced the poser.Her goal is to recreate the music as the poser intended.Each instrument contributes unique sounds to a musical performance.Although it is not necessary for conductors to know how to play all of the instruments,they must be familiar with the range and sound of each instrument in the orchestra.To help young musicians understand how to play the music,Andersson might tell them to imagine a ship being tossed(颠簸) by waves.Andersson is happy knowing that she and the musicians have changed lives for the better,uplifted spirits,and brought joy into ordinary days.1.As a child,Andersson learned about orchestras from .A.studying pianoB.school teachersC.some musiciansD.listening to recordings2.An orchestra conductor .ually enjoys being aloneB.spends a little time rehearsingC.needs to do a lot of preparatory workD.has a few days to prepare for a concert3.Andersson reads about posers’ lives .A.because she admires themB.to better recreate their musicC.because they are very famousD.to introduce them to the audience4.Why is a ship tossed by waves mentioned in Paragraph 6?A.To describe the beauty of orchestral music.B.To tell an adventure story about Andersson.C.To make young musicians more imaginative.D.To show how Andersson teaches young musicians.Ⅱ.完形填空(xx·云南师大附中适应性考试)Visitors to the dry,hot Sonoran Desert of the southern Arizona and northern Mexico are amazed at the many-armed
