Reading pems is nt exactly an everyday activity fr mst peple. In fact, many peple never read a pem nce they get ut f high schl.
It is wrth reminding urselves that this has nt always been the case in America. In the 19th century, a usual American activity was t sit arund the fireside in the evening and read pems alud. It is true that there was n televisin at the time, nr mvie theatres, nr Wrld Wide Web, t prvide diversin. Hwever, pems were a surce f pleasure, f self-educatin, f cnnectin t ther peple r t the wrld beynd ne’s wn cmmunity. Reading them was a scial act as well as an individual ne, and perhaps even mre scial than individual. Writing pems t share with friends and relatins was, like reading pems by the fireside, anther way in which petry has a place in everyday life.
Hw did things change? Why are mst Americans n lnger cmfrtable with petry, and why d mst peple tday think that a pem has nthing t tell them and that they can d well withut pems?
There are, I believe, three factrs: pets, teachers, and we urselves. Of these, the least imprtant is the third. The wrld surrunding the pem has betrayed us mre than we have betrayed the pem. Early in the 20th century, petry in English headed int directins unfavurable t the reading f petry. Readers decided that pems were nt fr the fireside r the easy chair at night, and that they belnged where ther difficult-t-read things belnged.
Pets failed the reader, and s did teachers. They want their students t knw smething abut the skills f a pem, and they want their students t see that pems mean smething. Yet what usually ccurs when teachers push these cncerns n their high schl students is that yung peple decide pems are unpleasant crsswrd puzzles.

参考答案
一、阅读理解
【语篇导读】在过去，人们经常读诗，然而现在，读诗的人越来越少文章针对这种现象探讨了原因。
l. C 【解析】词义猜测题。画线单词前的televisin, mvie theatres, Wrld Wide Web这些事物都是为人们提供娱乐的，由此可推断diversin与amusements同义，意为“娱乐活动”。故选C项。
2. A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的f cnnectin t ther peple r t the wrld beynd ne’s wn cmmunity可知，诗歌是联系人与人以及人与外部世界的纽带，而这体现了它的社交属性。故选A项。
3. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的Readers decided that pems were nt fr the fireside r the easy chair at night，and that they belnged where ther difficult--t-read things belnged.可知，读者觉得诗歌不再适合坐在火炉边或安乐椅上舒服地读，它们现在更难以理解了。故选D项。
4. B 【解析】引推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，诗人让读者失望了，老师也一样。老师想让学生们知道一首诗所用到的技巧及其含义，然而这些要求使学生们觉得诗歌是令人讨厌的字谜。因此，作者质疑学校教授诗歌的方式。故选B项。
二、课文语法填空
1. themselves 【解析】此处表示诗人通过写诗表达自己的思想感情，express neself意为“表达自己的思想感情”，故用反身代词themselves。
2. a【解析】此处表示小孩子最早学习的一些英文诗是童谣，表示泛指，故用不定冠词a。
3. traditinal 【解析】引空处修饰名词pems，应用形容词形式，故填traditinal。
4. and 【解析】由空后的even seem cntradictry可知，空处前后为递进关系，故用连词and。
5. phrases 【解析】引phrase在此处意为“短语”，为可数名词，其前没有限定词，故用复数形式。
6. which 【解析】引分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the cinquain，且在定语从句中作主语，故用关系代词which。
7. f 【解析】引cnsist f意为“由…组成”，为固定搭配，故填f。
8. is 【解析】由句中的cnsists可知，此处应用一般现在时；该句的主语为Haiu,故谓语动词应用单数形式。
9. has been translated 【解析】句子的主语A lt f Tang petry与动词translate之间为被动关系，应用被动语态；又根据句中的already可知，此处应用现在完成时的被动语态。
10. t chse 【解析】引此处表示有这么多不同种类的诗歌可供选择，表示动作尚未发生，故用动词不定式作宾语补足语。
