120分高考模拟卷(五)(时间:100分钟满分:120分)选择题部分第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10个小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
ANo 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.21.The passage indicates that analyzing a poem is .A.not essential at allB.a preparation for appreciating itC.an approach to understanding itD.optional in class sometimes22.The recitation of a poem by the teacher or a student in the classroom .A.is the best way to understand itB.easily arouses some discussion among the studentsC.helps the teacher to analyze itD.can not take the place of the poet reading it23.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.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.语篇解读: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。
答案及剖析:21.D 由文章第三段第一句话“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”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”是可选择的(optional)的。
22.A 第二段第一句话“the reading of the poem is,finally,the most telling ‘interpretation’ of it,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all at once”告诉我们,朗读归根到底是对诗的最全面诠释;这一段最后一句话“But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it or,best of all,reciting it”又告诉我们,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是正确答案。
23.C 第三段最后一句话“It(指poetry) also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies”告诉我们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。
BIt is made from grapes grown without pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemicals, is kind to the environment and rarely causes hangovers (宿醉).Sales of organic(有机的) wine are booming in the UK.According to the organic food and farming group Soil Association, sales of organic beers, wines and spirits rose by 14.3% last year to reach nearly ￡6 million, driven by the demand from consumers who are increasingly seeking “natural” food.“It seems that people are rediscovering their link with the environment through organic anic wines also taste better, perhaps due to less use of man-made chemicals.” said FinnCottle of Soil Association.As well as the benefits of producing grapes without using pesticides, organic wine also contains less sulphur dioxide (二氧化硫), which can contribute towards hangovers.Supermarkets are increasing supplies on their shelves to meet consumer demand, while the switch to online shopping has also helped, as people are more easily able to find what they are looking for.Vintage Roots is now one of the UK’s biggest online shops of organic wine, while Ocado provides more than 100 different organic wines and Daylesford, best-known for its organic vegetable boxes, has branched out into organic wine and spirits.The discount supermarket Aldi is set to start its first collection of so-called “green”wines this week, offering eight wines with organic certificates.Aldi expects the wines to appeal to the young shoppers who are increasingly concerned about the environmental influence of the produce that they are buying and consuming.English organic wine producer Oxney Estate’s Noir Rosé recently won the Waitrose prize for the most outstanding roséwine at the competition.A spokeswoman for Waitrose said:“Organic wine is a growing trend globally and we have seen sales increase by 16% in the last year”.24.Sales of organic wine are increasing probably because .A.consumers are now more environmentally awareB.it offers a very different taste from traditional wineC.consumers are tired of hangovers after drinkingD.it contains no sulphur dioxide or pesticide25.The underlined word “Waitrose” in the last paragraph is probably .A.a wine producerB.an organic wineC.a wine competitionD.a news agency26.The writing purpose of the text is to .A.persuade readers to go green while drinkingpare organic wine and traditional wineC.share with readers wines without hangoversD.introduce a new consuming trend in the UK语篇解读:本文主要向我们介绍了有机葡萄酒以及它的销售前景。
