课后分层集训Unit 1 The written wordⅠ.阅读理解A(2017·重庆适应性测试)Robert Frost ( 1874－1963 ) was the statesman of American letters in the twentieth century，a rare national poet who was read and respected by both university professors and everyday citizens.In his life，Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes for his works－more than any other poet in American history.His most famous poems include “The Road Not Taken”“Fire and Ice” and “Stopping by Woods o n a Snowy Evening”．Though he is widely read，Frost is also one of the most misunderstood writers in the United States for the complexity of his poems.Though born in California，Frost was brought up in New England，where he is inseparably linked.After dropping out of Dartmouth College to seek his literary dream，he remained upset for years，producing collections of works but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile.Finally，Frost left the United States in 1912 to see whether his work might be better received in London.It was，and in 1913 his first full collection was published in Great Britain.Fellow American poet Amy Lowell adored Frost's work and brought it back to the United States，publicizing it insistently.Soon afterwards Frost's collections became bestsellers，and he become a famous figure.From then on，Frost was on his way to the lifelong respect and recognition for his achievements in poetry.In 1961，he was invited to read a poem for the presidential inauguration (总统就职典礼) of John F．Kennedy.He recited his poem，“The Gift Outright” from memory at the ceremony.This was perhaps his last poetry reading in front of a wide national audience before his death in 1963.More importantly，Frost became the first poet to read a poem at a presidential inauguration.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

2017_2018学年高中英语Unit1ThewrittenwordSectionⅠWelcometotheunit
Unit 1 The written word Section Ⅰ Welcome to the unit &Reading-Pre readingEnglish romantic poetry dates back to the Romantic Period roughly between 1785 and 1830. Writers from this period focused on wonder, amazement and appreciation of nature, animals, possessions and people. The poetry of this period is wellknown for its high degree of creativity and imagination. Through the use of the senses, poets expressed their love for the universe. Poets such as Keats, Byron, Shelly and Wordsworth painted pictures with words through the use of imagery, metaphor (隐喻) and simile (明喻).Romantic poets describe poetry as the overflow of powerful feelings which expresses their minds. The interest of the romantic poets is not in the physical world or in the action of men, but in the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of the poets themselves.Under the influence of the American and French revolutions, there was an increasing belief that every human being is worth praising,and a growing sympathy for the suffering of common people. Romantic poetry shows strong feelings against unjust social and political situations. Romantic poetry also shows the passion that the writer possesses for the beauty of the world around. A passionate appreciation and admiration for beautiful land, especially undisturbed pieces of land, is emphasized in romantic poems.Romantic poems contain exotic (异国的) images and stories of kings, gods, goddesses, angels and spirits. The mystery and power of love is central to many romantic poems. Not every romantic poem paints an image of happiness and satisfaction with a lover or loving relationship; many romantic poets composed poems that emphasized heartache and sadness for lost love.The primary function of a romantic poem is to express one's imagination. Using all of the senses, poets create a beautiful image that allows readers to not only see and feel what the poet is describing, but also actually smell, hear and taste the subjects discussed in a poem. Poets today continue to look to the poets of the Romantic Period for inspiration and motivation.Section_ⅠWelcome to the unit & Reading —Prereading[原文呈现]Appreciating literatureWhat is classic literature? Classics are the antiques①of the literary②world. They are novels, plays and poems that were written a long time ago③and were so well written that people still read them nowadays. They are examples of great writing and wisdom, and even those written centuries ago④ can still be found in bookshops and libraries today.Because a lot of classics⑤were written so long ago, their language characteristics⑥ are quite different from those of modern works. This makes them difficult for some people to read, so they are often left to gather dust on shelves. Many people do not read them, because they think classics are old and boring and have nothing to do with⑦ life today.However, if this is true, why do we still find these classics in bookshops and libraries? They have not disappeared and still have a place in⑧ the world. Why else would many films adapted from them⑨ be successful? In 1995, an awardwinning⑩ film based on Jane Austen's novel Emma⑪ came out⑫. Three years later, in 1998, a modern adaptation⑬ of Charles Dickens's novel GreatExpectations appeared in cinemas. Nobody would bother to⑭ make these classic novels into films if they had nothing to do with contemporary⑮ life.[读文清障]①antique/æn'tiːk/n.古董，文物②literary adj.文学的literature n．文学，文学作品③that were written a long time ago是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词novels, plays and poems。
