She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to ‎ make the reader think.‎ In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Versed. “This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if it’s better.”‎ The first half of Versed focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.‎ Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.‎ Versed, published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.‎ 4. Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout?‎ A. She published a poetry textbook.‎ B. She used to teach Denise Levertov.‎ C. She started a poets’ group with others.‎ D. She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley.‎ ‎5.

It consists of three parts.‎ B. It is mainly about the American army.‎ C. It is a book published two decades ago.‎ D. It partly concerns the poet’s own life.‎ C For those of us who have ever been to Ocean‎ ‎Park, the best part was probably seeing the beautiful and friendly dolphins. And the luckier people among us may have even had the chance to swim with these amazing creatures. At the same time, however, we can’t help but think that these animals would be happier in the wild, rather than be forced to perform for humans in captivity (圈养).‎ According to a recent study though, we needn’t think like that. The study, which was published in the journal Applied Animal Behavior Science, was led by scientist.‎ As the first of its kind, the study’s aim was to look at captivity from the animals’ point of view, according to BBC News. Over the course of three years, Clegg and her team put together a series of experiments to figure out how captive dolphins felt about their lives. “We wanted to find out what activities in captivity they like most,” she told BBC News.‎ There were three kinds of experiment: one in which the dolphins were let alone, one in which toys were added to their pool, and one in which a human played with the dolphins.‎ It was found that of the three types of experiment, the dolphins seemed to enjoy playing with humans the most. “Their leaping from the water during training and their curious approaches to the edge of the pool appeared to be enthusiastic,” wrote BBC News science correspondent Victoria Gill. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean dolphins are happier in captivity than they are in the wild.‎ According to wildlife and nature platform One Green Planet, being raised in captivity could actually be harmful to dolphins. “By being born into captivity, they will never learn the skills necessary to survive in the wild. This means that any animal that is born in captivity can never be sent back into the wild,” it wrote on its website.‎ But while this may be true, at least it seems that captive dolphins still enjoy happy moments with humans.‎ ‎8．In what way is Clegg and her team’s research special?‎ A. The research lasted for over three years.‎ B. Live dolphins were studied in this research.‎ C. Scientists tried to view things from dolphins’ perspective.‎ D. The research was conducted in a dolphinarium(海洋馆).‎ ‎9．How did the scientists conclude that “the dolphins seemed to enjoy playing with humans the most”?‎ A. From dolphin’s behaviors. B. From dolphins’ noises.‎ C. From statistics of the research. D. From BBC’s reports.‎ ‎10．Why did One Green Planet go against raising dolphins in captivity?‎ A. Dolphins would be badly treated.‎ B. Dolphins could never return to nature.‎ C. Dolphins could die in a short time.‎ D. Dolphins would be forced to perform.‎ ‎11．What is the author’s attitude towards dolphins in captivity?‎ A. Casual. B. Concerned.‎ C. Uncertain. D. Positive.‎ D It’s about time somebody destroyed that old myth (神话) about childhood being the happiest period of your life. Childhood may certainly be fairly happy, but its greatest moments can’t compare with the joy of being an adult. Who ever asked a six-year-old for opinion? Children don’t have opinions, or if they do, nobody notices. Adults choose the clothes their children will wear, the books they will read and the friends they will play with. Mother and father are kind but complete dictators (独裁者). This is an adult world.‎ You must have heard these words about how happy it is to be a child. But which adult would honestly change places with a child? Every movement you make, every thought you think is observed by some adults. Remember how gentle pressure was given to you with words like “if you don’t do as I say, I will...” I’m sure you will never forget!‎ Even so, these are only part of child’s trouble. No matter how kind and loving parents may be, children often suffer from terrible and illogical fears since they can’t understand the world around them. They often have such fear in the dark or in the ‎ dreams. Adults can share their fears with other adults while children have to face their fears alone.‎ But the most painful part of childhood is a period when you begin to go out of it, the period when you go into adolescence. Teenagers start to be against their parents and this causes them unhappiness. There is a complete lack of self-confidence during this time. Adolescents pay much attention to their appearance and the impression they make on others. They feel shy, awkward and clumsy. Feelings are intense and hearts easily broken. Teenagers experience moments of great happiness or black despair. And through this period, adults seem to be unkind than ever.‎ What a happy time it is to grow up. Suddenly you get your balance; the world opens up before you. You are free to choose; you have your own place to live in and your own money to spend. You do not have to ask approval for everything you do. You are no longer laughed at or punished by heartless adults around you. And if sometimes you are laughed at, you know how to deal with it. You can simply tell other adults to go to hell: you are one yourself.‎ 12. Based on the passage, the reason why childhood is not the happiest time is that ________.‎ A. kids can’t get enough love from their parents B. kids are not happy at school C. parents are often too strict with their kids D. kids don’t have enough freedom ‎13. Why do children often suffer from fears?‎ A. The fears are terrible and illogical.‎ B. They can’t figure out the surrounding world.‎ C. They can’t share their fears with adults.‎ D. They simply can’t help feeling frightened.‎ ‎14．Which evidence CANNOT prove the fact that adolescents lack confidence?‎ A. They start being against their parents.‎ B. They care about what others judge them.‎ C. They feel shy, awkward and clumsy.‎ D. They are more sensitive than ever.‎ ‎15．What is the function of the last paragraph?‎ A. To further support the author’s argument.‎ B. To encourage teenagers to quicken their pace to grow up.‎ C. To offer some hope to teenagers.‎ D. To set teenagers a target.‎ 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.‎ Time is something that we all are taking for granted these days. We spend hours watching TV or playing mobile games, thinking that this is just normal. I find this a waste of time. 16． Every second is valuable and we should rethink of ways of spending our time.‎ Firstly, spend time in doing things that really matter. Spend time with your family and friends. Enjoy a nice hot meal and eat it slowly. Give yourself time to play and spend enough time in sleeping. 17．But the truth is the little things matter most in life.‎ Secondly, you have to know what is done cannot be undone. Do not allow your mind to stay in the past. Every day is a new adventure. 18．It may not be an opportunity like an immediate get-rich chance, but it may be an opportunity for new experiences.‎ ‎19．If you have only one chance to do something for someone, why not do it to the best of your ability? It should not matter whether you are being rewarded or not. You will take pride in your work because you’ve done your best. Trust me, quality efforts will be rewarded in time.‎ Lastly, every moment you spend in doing things is the time taken from your life. Don’t waste your time away working day and night just for money. 20．The value of your time is measured by how you spend it and whom you choose to spend it with.‎ A.You will get whatever you want from working.‎ B. Spend more time on the important tasks instead of time-wasters.‎ C. Do your best in every task as if the world will end tomorrow D. That is not your life’s worth.‎ E.

You have to keep your eyes and ears open to the new opportunity.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） ‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Until a few years ago, I had what most people would call a good life.I had a 21 job that paid the bills; I had a good family that I was close to, and I had a place to live and money in the bank for trips and 22 , and there was nothing much wrong in my life. 23 , I was bored.‎ I wanted more.
