阅读理解提升练(十二)‎ A ‎(2018·浙江余姚中学押题卷一)‎ No 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 the poem is,finally,the most telling “interpretation” 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 cannot 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”,“a heightening of life,enjoyment with others”.It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”,and it “can save your life”.It also deserves a place in the 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 put that dislike on 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.‎ ‎1.The passage indicates that analyzing a poem is 　　　. ‎ A.not essential at all B.a preparation for appreciating it C.an approach to understanding it D.optional in class sometimes ‎2.The recitation of a poem by the teacher or a student in the classroom 　　　. ‎ A.is the best way to understand it B.easily arouses some discussion among the students C.helps the teacher to analyze it D.cannot take the place of the poet reading it ‎3.Which of the following statements may the author agree with?‎ A.The most important teaching goal is to have students read and recite every poem they learn.‎ 4‎ B.Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.‎ C.The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.‎ D.Every English teacher is supposed to convey their love of poetry to their students.‎ B ‎(2018·浙江杭州高级中学仿真测试)‎ Several times my daughter had telephoned to say,“Mum,you must come and see the daffodils(水仙花)before they are over.” I wanted to go,but it was a two-hour drive from Lake Arrowhead.“I will go next Tuesday,” I promised,a little unwillingly,on her third call.‎ The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy.Still,I had promised,and so I drove there.When I finally walked into Carolyn’s house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren,I said,“Forget the daffodils,Carolyn!The road is invisible in the cloud and fog,and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!”‎ My daughter smiled calmly and said,“We drive in this weather all the time,Mum.You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”‎ After about twenty minutes,we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church.On the far side of the church,I saw a hand-lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”.‎ We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand,and I followed Carolyn down the path.Then,we turned a corner of the path,and I looked up and gasped.Before me lay the most beautiful sight!There were five acres of flowers!“But who has done this?” I asked Carolyn.“It’s just one woman,” Carolyn answered.“That’s her home.” Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory.We walked up to the house.On the patio(庭院),we saw a poster.“Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking” was the headline.‎ The first answer was a simple one.“15,000 bulbs(鳞茎),” it read.The second answer was,“One at a time,by one woman.” The third answer was,“Began in 1958.”‎ I thought of this woman whom I had never met,who,more than fifty years ago,had begun—one bulb at a time—to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.‎ ‎4.The author didn’t go to see the daffodils at first because 　　　. ‎ A.she was not interested in them B.they were growing on the mountain top C.the weather was not good enough D.it was not easy for her to drive there ‎5.What do we know about the woman living in the A-frame house?‎ A.She must be out of mind.‎ B.She acted as a gardener there.‎ C.It took her great efforts to grow the daffodils.‎ D.She was poor and made her living by selling daffodils.‎ ‎6.What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A.An Unforgettable Experience.‎ B.Beautiful Daffodils.‎ C.One Bulb at a Time.‎ D.I Love Daffodils.‎ C Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you.According to the ancient Greeks,there are three basic tools of persuasion:ethos,pathos,and logos.‎ 4‎ Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy,honest and reliable.One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field.After all,you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that he is a good person.If an audience cannot trust you,you will not be able to persuade them.‎ Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions.For example,a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war.These words are intended to fill the audience with fear,thus making them support him.Similarly,an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats,to make the viewers feel pity.If the audience feels bad for the animals,they will be more likely to donate money.‎ Logos is the use of truths,statistics,or other evidence to support your argument.An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims,for example,in an ad for washing powder.Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “Believe me”.‎ Although ethos,pathos,and logos all have their strengths,they are often most effective when used together.Indeed,most speakers use a combination of ethos,pathos,and logos to persuade their audiences.So,the next time you listen to a speech,watch a commercial,or listen to a friend trying to convince you to lend him some money,be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.‎ ‎7.How is a speaker able to show his ethos to the audience?‎ A.By expressing his sympathy with the audience.‎ B.By telling the audience about his personal preference.‎ C.By using beautiful language to make his statements attractive.‎ D.By showing his knowledge and experience relating to the topic.‎ ‎8.Why is logos used for a commercial?‎ A.To get the audience’s sympathy.‎ B.To prove the speaker knowledgeable.‎ C.To convince the audience with facts.‎ D.To make the viewers your potential voters.‎ ‎9.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?‎ A.Don’t use tools of persuasion.‎ B.Never lend money to friends.‎ C.Be careful of skillful persuaders.‎ D.Look out for the ancient Greeks.‎ ‎10.What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?‎ A.Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.‎ B.Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.‎ C.Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.‎ D.Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.‎ 4‎ 阅读理解提升练(十二)‎ A ‎【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。在文章中,作者阐述了诗歌教学的重要性。‎ ‎1.D　细节理解题。由文章第三段第一句可知,如果课堂上没有时间同时朗读和分析诗歌的话,把时间花在朗读上比花在分析上要值得多,因此“分析诗歌”是“optional”的。‎ ‎2.A　细节理解题。由第二段第一句可知,朗读归根到底是对诗的最全面诠释;由最后一句可知,即使是那些教学辅助手段也不能取代学生和老师朗读,更不能取代理解诗歌的最有效方法——背诵。可见,A项是正确答案。‎ ‎3.C　推理判断题。由第三段最后一句可知,在语言和文学教学中,诗歌本应该获得比目前更加重要的位置,即诗歌教学本该得到更多的重视,因此C项正确。‎ B ‎【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要向我们描述了自己应女儿之邀去看水仙花的经历。‎ ‎4.D　细节理解题。根据第一段“I wanted to go,but it was a two-hour drive from Lake Arrowhead.”可知选D项。‎ ‎5.C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的描述以及最后一段的“I thought of this woman whom I had never met,who,more than fifty years ago,had begun”可知,水仙花是她一个人种植的,种了有五十多年了,因此选C项。‎ ‎6.C　主旨大意题。根据文章最后两段可知这个故事的真谛:每次栽培一棵水仙花,五十多年的坚持不懈培育出一片水仙花的海洋;所以选C项。‎ C ‎【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文,主题是说服学。说服学有“信誉证明(ethos)”“情感证明(pathos)”“逻辑证明(logos)”三个基本工具,三个工具各有其特点,三者结合会取得更好的效果。‎ ‎7.D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句可知,在“信誉证明(ethos)”中,说话者要展示自己与话题相关的知识和经验,故D项符合文意。‎ ‎8.C　细节理解题。根据第四段“...in an ad for washing powder.Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying ‘Believe me’.”可知,在商业广告中要用事实来使消费者信服,故选C项。‎ ‎9.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,在我们生活中要小心那些有技巧的说服者,故C项符合文意。‎ ‎10.A　细节理解题。由最后一段第一句可知,“信誉证明(ethos)”“情感证明(pathos)”“逻辑证明(logos)” 对听众有不同的影响,故A项符合文意。‎ 4‎
