Unit 2 Poems (时间:90分钟　满分:120分) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 A (导学 No poem should ever be discussed or analyzed,until it has been read aloud by someone,a teacher or a student.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end.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 films,is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the teacher reading 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,and a heightening(提升) of life.It is an approach to the truth of feeling,and it can save your life.
