PennsylvaniaBNovember not only marks the publication of Toni Morrison’s eagerly anticipated(期待) eighth novel, Love, but it is also the tenth anniversary of her Nobel Prize for Literature. Morrison is the first black woman to receive a Nobel, and so honored before her in literature are only two black men: Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian playwright, poet and novelist, in 1986; and Derek Walcott, the Caribbean-born poet, in 1992. But Morrison is also the first and only American-born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962, the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award.Like Song of Solomon, Love is a multigenerational story, revealing the personal and communal legacy of an outstanding black family. As Morrison scholars will tell you, Love is the third volume of a literary master’s trilogy(三部曲)investigating the many complexities of love. This trilogy began with Beloved(1988), which deals with a black mother’ s love under slavery and in freedom. Jazzy(1993), the second volume, tells a story of romantic love in 1920s Harlem. This latest novel looks back from the 1970s to the 1940s and 50s.The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey, the former owner and host of the shabby Cosey’s Hotel and Resort in Silk, North Carolina, described in the novel as “the best and best-known vacation sport for colored folk on the East Coast.” We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him: his granddaughter, his widow, two former employees, and ahomeless young girl.The latest novel, Love, had been described in the promotional material from her publisher as “Morrison’s most accessible work since Song of Solomon.” This comparison to her third novel, published in 1977, was an effective selling point.24. What would be the best title for the text?A. Toni Morrison’s latest novelsB. Toni Morrison and her trilogyC. Toni Morrison, the Nobel prizewinnerD. Toni Morrison and her novel Love25. What can we learn about John Steinbeck?A. He was born in America.B. He was a black writer.C. He received the Nobel Prize after MorrisonD. He was the first American novelist to win a Nobel26. The similarity between Love and Song of Solomon is that they both _____.A. belong to the same trilogy together with BelovedB. deal with life of blacks under slaveryC. concern families of more than one generationD. investigate life in 1920s Harlem27. The novel Love mainly describes ______.A. the best-known vacation spot for blacksB. the life of an outstanding black family under slaveryC. the miserable experience of the five women in HarlemD. the memories of five women about Bill CoseyCTeaching PoetryNo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of thepoem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation(解释)” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in t he teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to communicate this to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.28. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students .A. to enjoy poetryB. to become poetsC. to become teachersD. to understand life29. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should .A. analyze it by oneselfB. discuss it with othersC. practise reading it aloudD. copy it down in a notebook30. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A. The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject.B. More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry.C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.D. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.31. The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by .A. provide equipmentB. build a schoolC. set up a houseD. leave a certain amount of timeDNASA, the U. S. space agency, believes there’s a good chance that we’re not alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS).。
