Book 6 Unit 2 Poems 单元测试阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A★★☆☆☆Joanna Cole is the author of a wealth of children’s books on various subjects. Cole’s fertile imagination has provided beginning readers with jokes and puzzles, humorous tales of the Clown-Around family, and books about science. The winner of countless awards, Cole follows her own widespread interests to write. She is credited with introducing the interesting world of science to young readers through her book series such as the hugely popular “Magic School Bus” books, which inspired its own television program. A careful researcher, Cole is praised for her scientific accuracy, but her books gain most of their effectiveness from her humor and easily understood explanations of difficult technical subjects.Cole first discovered the pleasure of writing when she was in grade school. “I discovered in the fifth grade what I liked to do: write reports and stories, make them interesting and draw pictures to go along with the words. Science was my favorite.Our teacher, Miss Bair, would ask us to read a science book every week. And each week, she would choose one student to do an experiment and report on it to the class.I would have done an experiment every week if she had let me. Grade school was much more influential than my later education. Maybe that’s why as an adult I ended up writing books for children.”After graduating from the City College of New York, Cole pursued (追求) her interest in books. After some graduate education courses, she spent a year as a librarian in a Brooklyn elementary school. Cole then became an editor at Scholastic. It was during her first job at the elementary school that she was inspired by an article about cockroaches (蟑螂) in The Wall Street Journal. Realizing that this was a subject she had never read about in school, Cole decided to write about it herself. The first publisher rejected the idea, but Cole had more luck when she sent her book to the publishing house of William Morrow, where Editor Connie C. Epstein helped her improve her skills in science writing. Beginning with that book, Cole has continued to pen both nonfiction and fiction for younger readers. In 1980, after ten years’ editing children’s books, she became a full-time writer.21. We can learn from the text that Joanna Cole _____.A. writes various books for adultsB. is good at getting science across to readersC. is teaching science at an elementary schoolD. received many awards for her scientific achievement22. Joanna Cole’s attitude towards scientific experiments can be described as _____.A. uncaringB. cautiousC. unfavorableD. enthusiastic23.

Which of the following best describes Joanna Cole?A. Talented and creative.B. Popular but unhappy.C. Serious and honest.D. Friendly but strict.B★★★☆☆Dear Allen,I am delighted to learn that this year’s assessment of my performance is very positive. I enjoy working for Sunflower Corporation and will continue to serve the firm to the best of my ability.In the light of this positive assessment, I would like to request a promotion (提拔) from my present position as Acting Director to that of full Director to be considered. I think there should also be a pay increase involved in this promotion.As you know, I came to the Training and Development Department five years ago. Over the past five years, I have taken on the responsibilities of the department as the Acting Director. I have tried to improve the existing training courses to ensure (确保) a systematic training program. I have also taken steps to enrich our training courses even though this was not part of the job requirements. For example, I led a team in designing several training courses using detailed training material. Two of the programs, such as, “The Mystery of Leadership” and “Striving for Excellence”, enable us to offer 12 additional training courses. These programs help meet the needs of staff from all levels and practices within the firm.As you also know, I founded and lead our campus recruitment (招聘) program —“Sunflower Management Trainee Program”, which is widely recognized in many universities.Needless to say, I very much enjoy my present job. However, the above projects are beyond the original job description. They require me to spend extra hours and take additional responsibilities in order to ensure their proper implementation (实施).Given my positive performance and the additional effort I have made, I would very much appreciate your consideration in reviewing my official position with the company, along with a pay increase.Thank you for your attention and I look forward to your favorable reply.Your sincerely,Thomas25. We know from the text that the author _____.A. has done a good job this yearB. is satisfied with the present payC. wants to work in other departmentsD. dislikes his position in the company26. What do we know about the training courses designed by the author?A. They are satisfying and successful.B. They are within the author’s duties.C. They fail to meet the needs of staff.D. They are not well received in the company.27. The letter was written to _____.A. report on the workB. ask for promotion and a pay riseC. complain about working overtimeD. provide some suggestions on workC★★★★☆In a Station of the MetroThe apparition of these faces in the crowd;Petals on a wet, black bough.This is the only Ezra Pound poem that many people will read in their lives. Why? One obvious reason is that it’s just two lines long. The poem, which can be understood as “A man sees a bunch of faces in the subway and thinks they look like flowers on a tre e branch,” is an exercise in shortness. Pound wrote it after having a spiritual experience in a Paris metro (subway) station.In 1916, the US poet originally thought he could best describe his vision in a painting. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a painte r. So he wrote a thirty-line poem, which he didn’t like. He dropped the long version in the waste bin. Six months later, he wrote a shorter poem, but didn’t like that one either. Finally, a full year after the experience, he had been reading short Japanese poems called haikus, and he figured he would try this style. The result, which was published in 1913, is one of the most famous and influential works in modern poetry.This poem is one of the monuments (纪念物) of the 20th-century artistic movement known as “Imagism”. Basically, Pound and his friends thought that images (意象) weren’t just decoration: they were the highest form of speech. By finding the right image, the poet can express the true, spiritual reality of a thing, which is more important than using a bunch of adjectives to describe its physical appearance. Thus, “In a Station of the Metro” is a poem that consists of one image expressed with absolute (绝对的) exactness and nothing else.To the imagists, the best way to describe an experience is not to use more and more words; the best way is to find exactly the right words. Have you ever told a beloved one that “words can’t express” how much you love them? Well, Pound would say that you’re just being lazy. In his view, words can express a nything, even if it takes an entire year to find the right ones.28. In the short poem, Ezra Pound _____.A. tells us one of his painful experiencesB. compares the passengers’ faces to flowersC. describes a man walking among the crowdD. shows a wet, black tree branch in a metro station29. According to the text, “In a Station of the Metro” was _____.A. based on one of Pound’s paintingsB. first discovered in a waste binC. influenced by haikusD. completed in 191630. Pound and his friends _____.A. stressed the importance of using adjectivesB. were good at describing abstract imagesC. decorated their poems with picturesD. used images to express their ideas31. Pound would probably think one’s hard efforts to find a s ingle right word was_____.A. a bit ridiculousB. very worryingC. rather surprisingD. really worthwhileD★★★★☆“A serious attack on the fairy tale as children’s literature (文学) comes from those who don’t wish children to be frightened,” writes C.S. Lewis in an essay.Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. First, they mean that we mustn’t do anything likely to make children frightened. Secondly, they want to keep out of their minds the fact that they are born into a world of death, violence, pain, and adventure. C.S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.He comments that “since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. By limiting your child to blameless stories of child life in which nothing at all alarming ever happens, you would fail to drive away the terrors, but would succeed in driving away all that can make them brave.”I love the story about St. George. It may be hard to find, but make an effort to make your children familiar with St. George and the Dragon by Margaret Hodges to see the best of this tale. It is a successful adaptation (改写本) from Spenser’s Faierie Queen. It begins with “In the days when monsters and giants and fairy folk lived in England, a noble knight was riding across the plain ...” It’s a keeper, if you can find one to buy.Bruno Bettelheim, a well-known child psychologist, also comments that fairy tales provide children with an invaluable education. He believes that all children have a rich supply of personal fantasies filled with fears and anxieties and that fairy tales comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.A good fantasy suggests rather than tells possible answers to life. I believe that reading fantasy literature quickens the ability to transfer (转移) ideas from tales to reality. It’s what good literature does — it makes life larger.32. C.S. Lewis may probably agree that _____.A. children shouldn’t be exposed to death or v iolenceB. children should be brave and have rich imaginationC. children shouldn’t be allowed to read frightening storiesD. children should read fairy tales to learn about the real world33. What do we know about St. George and the Dragon?A. It is worth keeping.B. It was written by Spenser.C. It tells a beautiful love story.D. It is difficult for children to read.34. In the text, Bruno Bettelheim believes that fairy tales _____.A. show what happy life isB. are filled with fears and painC. cause children too much anxietyD. teach children how to solve problems35. What would be the best title for the text?A. What books children should readB. Whether people should read fairy talesC. How parents should choose books for kidsD.
