A few years ago, pop poets such as
Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to
rock music with some surprising
results. People thought that poetry was the new
rock
‘n’
roll.
However,
despite
the
brief
popularity
of
a
few
pop
poets,
poetry
and
pop
music didn't seem to mix. But are they
really so different?
If
you look back at
the origins
of poetry, there is
a strong
connection between
poems and popular
music. In Greek mythology, for example, the
muse(
女神
) Erato is
pictured
with
a
lyre(
里拉琴
)
in
her
hand,
and
looks
just
like
the
ancestor
of
the
modern
rock
star
with
his
electric
guitar.
In
addition,
the
poets
Shelley
and
Byron
were as famous in the
nineteenth century as the pop stars of
today.
But despite their
common origins, there are many differences between
poetry and
pop
music.
Pop
songs
are
always
written
for
a
public
performance,
whereas
poetry
often
isn't.
And
the
lyrics
in
pop
songs
sometimes
have
less
rhythm
than
those
in
poetry.
This
is
because
the
music
provides
the
rhythm
rather
than
the
words.
Pop
lyrics are also simpler
and often keep on saying the same thing. This
repetition works
well in a performance
and means that pop songs are easier for people to
sing and learn
by heart.
Both songs and poems tell a story or
talk about feelings. Songs in particular deal
with the different stages in a
relationship, such as falling in love or breaking
up. The
words
and
ideas
in
songs
are
usually
easier
to
understand
than
those
in
“serious”
poetry. However,
talented performers like Paul McCartney, or newer
stars like Robbe
Williams,
often
give
simple
songs
more
expression
when
they
perform
them.
And
some of
the best lines from pop lyrics are as beautiful as
poetry.
So
although
pop
music
and
poetry
have
many
differences,
they
do
have
one
important thing in common—the power to
make us think about how we feel.
did Murray Lachlan Young do a few
years ago?
A
．
He had poems
and rock music combined.
B
．
He surprised
people with his beautiful style of
writing.
C
．
He wrote
beautiful music for some famous poems.
D
．
He invented a
new kind of poem for his fans.
26
．
According
to
the
article,
the
difference
between
poetry
and
pop
songs
is
that
________.
A
．
there is more
rhythm in pop songs than poetry
B
．
pop songs are
more difficult to understand than
poetry
C
．
some words in
pop songs are repeated over and over
again
D
．
pop songs are
not always performed before audience
27
．
According to
Paragraph 4, which of the following statements is
TRUE?
A
．
Songs and poems
are equally beautiful.
B
．
The main theme
of songs is about relationship.
C
．
Songs tell
stories but poems tell about feelings.
D
．
Songs and poems
express a similar message.
28
．
What does the
writer say about talented performers
today?
A
．
They look at
poetry to find ideas for their songs.
B
．
They think
their songs are more serious than
poetry.
C
．
They give songs
more meaning when they sing them.
D
．
They consider
themselves to be more popular than
poets.
C
Everywhere
I
look
outside
my
home
I
see
people
busy
on
their
high
－
tech
devices,
while
driving,
walking,
shopping,
even
sitting
in
toilets.
When
connected
electronically,
they are away from physical reality.
People
have
been
influenced
to
become
technology
addicted.
One
survey
reported that
“addicted”was the word most commonly used by
people to describe their
relationship
to
iPad
and
similar
devices.
One
study
found
that
people
had
a
harder
time
resisting the allure of social media than they did
for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.
The main goal of technology companies
is to get people to spend more money
and
time
on
their
products,
not
to
actually
improve
our
quality
of
life.
They
have
successfully
created
a
cultural
disease.
Consumers
willingly
give
up
their
freedom,
money and time to catch up on the
latest information, to keep pace with their peers
or
to appear modern.
I see people trapped in a
pathological(
病态的
)
relationship with
time
－
sucking
technology, where they serve technology
more than technology serves them. I call this
technology servitude. I am referring to
a loss of personal freedom and independence
because of uncontrolled consumption of
many kinds of devices that eat up time and
money.
What is a
healthy use of technology devices? That is the
vital question. Who is
really in charge
of my life? That is what people need to ask
themselves if we are to
have
any
chance
of
breaking
up
false
beliefs
about
their
use
of
technology. When we can
live happily without using so much technology for
a day or
a
week,
then
we
can
regain
control
and
personal
freedom,
become
the
master
of
technology and discover what there is
to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is
famous
for
proclaiming
the
wisdom
that
“too
much
of
a
good
thing
is
wonderful.”
But
it's time to discover that it does not work for
technology.
Richard
Fernandez, an executive coach at Google
acknowledged that “we can be
swept away
by our technologies.” To break the grand digital
connection people must
consider how
life long ago could be fantastic without today's
overused technology.
29
．
The underlined
word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means
________.
A
．
advantage
B
．
attraction
C
．
adaption
D
．

empt
30
．
From the
passage, technology companies aim to
________.
A
．
attract
people
to
buy
their
products
B
．
provide
the
latest
information
C
．
improve
people's quality of life
D
．
deal with
cultural diseases
31
．
It can be
inferred from this passage that people
________.
A
．
consider too
much technology wonderful
B
．
have realized
the harm of high
－
tech
devices
C
．
can regain
freedom without high
－
tech
devices
D
．
may enjoy life
better without overused technology
32
．
What's the
author's attitude towards the overusing of
high
－
tech
devices?
A
．
Neutral.
B
．
Skeptical.
C

Winter
begins
in
the
north
on
December
22
nd
.
People
and
animals
have
been
doing
what
they
always
do
to
prepare
for
the
colder
months.
Squirrels
(
松鼠
),
for
example, have been busy
gathering nuts
from trees. Well,
scientists have been busy
gathering
information about what the squirrels do with the
food they collect.
They
examined
differences
between
red
squirrels
and
gray
squirrels
in
the
American state of
Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these
differences could
affect
the
growth
of
black
walnut
(
黑胡桃
)
trees.
The
black
walnuts
is
the
nut
of
choice for
both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is
also a central part of some
hardwood
forests.
Rob
Swihart
of
Purdue
University
did
the
study
with
Jake
Goheen,
a
former
Purdue
student
now
at
the
University
of
New
Mexico.
The
two
researchers
estimate(
估计
)
that
several
times
as
many
walnuts
grow
when
gathered
by
gray
squirrels
as compared to red
squirrels.
Gray squirrels
and red squirrels
do not
store
nuts and seeds in the
same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time
in a number of
places. But they seldom
remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts
remain
in the ground. Conditions are
right for them to develop and grow the following
spring.
Red
squirrels,
however,
store
large
groups
of
nuts
above
ground.
Professor
Swihart
calls “death traps
for seeds”
．
Gray
squirrels
are
native
to
Indiana.
But
Professor
Swihart
says
their
numbers
began
to
decrease
as
more
forests
were
cut
for
agriculture.
Red
squirrels
began
to
spread
through the state during the past
century.
The
researchers
say
red
squirrels
are
native
to
forests
that
stay
green
all
year,
unlike
walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land
for agriculture has helped red
squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen
calls them a sign of an environmental problem
more than a cause.
33
．
The study done
by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to
________.
A.
find
out
how
squirrels
collect
walnuts
B.
learn
squirrels'
influence
on
black walnut trees
C.
do
something
to
get
rid
of
squirrels
D.
save
the
forests
in
the
American state of
Indiana
34
．
The difference
between gray squirrels and red squirrels lies in
________.
A. the way they
gather the walnut
B. the time they have winter
sleep
C. the place they have
winter sleep
D. the place
they store the walnuts
could be inferred from this text?
A
．
Agricultural in
Indiana has been well developed.
B
．
Gray squirrles
will be replaced by red squirrels in
Indiana.
C
．
The spread of
red squirrels will do harm to walnuts trees in
Indiana.
D
．
The government
will take some measures to protect black walnut
trees.

artists, or artists of the 20th century, Grandma
Moses surely
ranks among the most
famous and recognized.
__36__ Grandma Moses probably owes most
of her legendary status to the fact
that her art was exactly the opposite
of what most critics considered fine art. She as
cliff refit—she just didn't fit in with
everyone else. But, that's also what makes her art
so unique and appealing.
Born in Greenwich, New York, in 1860,
Anna Mary Robertson and her husband,
Thomas Salmon Moses, raised their
family on a dairy farm in Virginia. The eventually
settled in Eagle Bridge, New York, at
the dawn of the 20th century. __37__ Due to
arthritis(
关节炎
),
at
the
age
of
76,
her
embroidered(
刺绣的
)
pictures
became
too
difficult to complete,
so she switched to the medium of paint. She
continued in this
method for the rest
of her 101 years.
Local
exhibits of her work soon gained popular appeal.
__38__ Her self
－
taught
style and comfortable, homey themes
attracted the public, from art detailers who had
never before purchased a painting from
an exhibition.
__39__ In
McDonnell Farm (1943), for example, a group of
children are dancing
at the right,
while all the other figures are busy with farm
tasks.
Despite the fact that
Anna Moses was painting throughout the Great
Depression
and
the
period
of
World
War
Ⅱ，
her
art
remained
full
of
life
and
hopefulness.
__40__
A
．
In 1930, just
three years after the death of her husband, Anna
Moses began
creating embroidered
pictures.
B
．
To what does
she owe this great fame?
C
．
Her
favorite
subject
was
drawn
from
the
world
around
her
—
prosperous
farms and villages.
D
．
She never sold
a painting till she was 80.
E
．
There is no
unhappiness or aging in her paintings.
F
．
By 1940 she was
exhibiting her art in New York City.
G
．
They celebrated
her loath birthday in 1960.
