Ⅳ.阅读理解

Long ago，poems were recited out loud instead of being written down. Back when the Greeks first started the Olympics, they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.

Now，poetry competitions have been revived(恢复). This year 120,000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest，performing poems from memory for $100,000 in prizes.

The first competitions were held in classrooms. The winners went on to school－wide contests, and then they competed in city and state competitions. Finally, the 50 state champions，along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington D．C. last week for the last showdown. After the 51 champions competed against one another, 12 went on to the finals. Then the field was narrowed to five. The final five had on e last chance to “perform” a poem. The overall champ, Jackson Hille, a high school senior from Ohio, won a $20,000 scholarship.

The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud, because they realized that bearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on a page.

It's not just a matter of saying the words in the right order. It's the tone of voice, the pauses, the gestures and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life. “Each t ime we hear somebody recite a poem, we understand again what we found fresh and interesting about it，” said National Public Radio Broadcaster Scott Simon, master of ceremonies for the finals. Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.

Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience, but memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants(选手) understand those poems in a new way. Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn public－speaking skills that can help them for life.

1．From the first paragraph，we can know ________.

A．the Greeks were the first to write poems

B．the Olympics used to start with poem reciting

C．poems were spread orally in the past

D．athletes were asked to recite poems before competing

2．How many rounds of competitions did the champions take before they went to Washington D．C.?

A．Three. B．Four.

C．Five. D．Six.

3．According to the passage, hearing a poem recited in a new voice can ________.

A．bring a new life to listeners

B．help listeners find their interest

C．make listeners learn the words

D．offer something new to listeners

4．One benefit the participants get from a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that they can ________.

A．become confident while speaking in public

B．write good poems themselves

C．change their attitudes towards life

D．make friends with many great poets

5．What influence the beauty of poems?

A．The word order and the tone of voice.

B．The attitude of the person performing them.

C．The tone of voice, the pauses, the gestures and the attitude of the person reciting them.

D．The pauses and the gestures of the person performing them.

Ⅴ.七选五阅读

In order to characterise a work as fantasy literature, I would argue, there are six traits which must be present to some degree: story, common characters, another world, use of magic and the superpower, a clear sense of good and evil, and the quest. __1__

The second trait of fantasy literature is that the central characters are of a common nature. In the fantasy tale they might be any one of us and that is precisely the point. We are asked not to stand on the outside and survey this tale. __2__ Thus we find characters quite like ourselves.

Even though we may all like to play Superman，in literature it seems that we stand outside the larger－than－life hero. He is well equipped, after all to fight his own battles. __3__ But with common characters we recognise their short－comings，and want to come to their aid. When a character gets knocked down, which occurs frequently，we would like to help — from the safety of our easy chair. Maybe between us we can pull it off.

__4__ First, common characters have not lost the childlike trait of wonder, the willingness to engage adventure. Often the characters of fantasy are children, since authors have found in children a universal, common human nature — curiosity to the adult world. The second reason for the use of a common character has to do with heroism. In literary history the hero has often been a figure who acts for us. __5__ The theme in fantasy literature is that anyone may be called on to become the hero.

A．Moreover, a story must move through a beginning, a middle and in the process it must move the reader.

B．We should enter it so that the story becomes ours.

C．He or she stands in our place in the face of danger.

D．In fact，we usually know who will win; we're just not certain how.

E．Story seeks to free the imagination, to allow it for a time to live in another world.

F．There are two other considerations that account for the trait of the common character.

G．The point of a fantasy is not to hand us tidy morals, but to provide us with growth by experience.
