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 on 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 became 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.【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国伟大的诗人Robert Frost的文学生涯。1．What makes Frost “the statesman of American letters”？A．The comments of other writers.B．His literary achievements.C．The complexity of his poems.D．His political activities.解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“a rare national poet who was read and respected by both university professors and everyday citizens...in American history”可知，他的文学成就很高。故选B项。2．What do we know about Frost before 1912?A．He continued writing after his graduation from Dartmouth College.B．He was well received in London for his first collection.C．He failed to make much money with his publication.D．He produced enough works to achieve literary success.解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段的“but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile”可知，当时Frost没能靠写作挣到很多钱。3．According to the passage，what brought Frost immediate success in the U．S.?A．The literary value of his poetry.B．The publication of his first collection.C．The invitation from John F．Kennedy.D．The recommendation by Amy Lowell.解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Fellow American poet Amy Lowell adored Frost's work and brought it back to the United States，publicizing it insistently...a famous figure.”可知，选D。4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．The Literary Life of Robert Frost：An OverviewB．Robert Frost and the Twentieth CenturyC．Robert Frost：A Historical FigureD．The Popularity of Robert Frost解析：选A　标题归纳题。本文介绍了美国伟大诗人Robert Frost的文学生涯。A选项意为“Robert Frost的文学生涯概述”。故选A项。BEvery year at this time, the peasants began their long religious journey to Geed­leh, to visit the church there, and to pray for God's help. They walked or rode in wagons; they crowded the roads leading to the holy town, for Geed­leh was famous in Poland as a place where God did miracles. The cool autumn days also brought many beggars to Geed­leh. The peasants gave away more of their money on such a religious holiday as this. Some of the beggars were blind; some had no feet or arms. Some were very old and seemed like lost children looking for their mothers.There was one among them who was called “the Mute Singer”. He was given this name because he could not speak. There was a time when he was able to sing, while playing his guitar. But he lost his voice. Now he played the guitar and sang, but no sounds came from his throat. His lips just moved with the music.The Mute Singer was a tall, strange­looking man. His face and hands were brown. He had white hair and a white beard：he looked like one of the wise men you read about in the Bible. Early one morning I saw the Mute Singer washing himself at the river. He smiled and touched the ground with his hand, meaning that I should sit down. Then, he pointed his finger straight up, to tell me that he had a surprise for me.Suddenly, he put his hand into the water and rubbed two of his fingers together, making a strange sound, exactly like the sound of a frog. He did it many times, and then he lightly hit the top of the water, sending little waves across the water to the other side.Suddenly, everything around us seemed to be moving. I could not believe that it was real. Thousands of frogs came racing toward us, jumping, and swimming ... under the water and on top of the water. I began to shake with excitement.The frogs crowded around us. I could see their heads and eyes showing above the top of the water.【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了每年农民们去往朝圣的路上都会遇到一些乞丐，并重点讲述了其中的一位“沉默的歌者”。这位歌者虽然失声，却不丧气，用自己的方式演绎着别样的音乐人生。5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Some of the old peasants were easy to get lost in Geed­leh.B．Many beggars visited Geed­leh to enjoy the cool autumn days there.C．The peasants went to Geed­leh to donate more to the beggars.D．Geed­leh was a famous holy town in Poland.解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the holy town”和“for Geed­leh was famous in Poland as a place where God did miracles”可知，Geed­leh在波兰是一座很有名的圣城。6．According to the passage, we may know that         .A．the Mute Singer didn't lose confidence but continued to create his own musicB．the Mute Singer lost his child on the way to Geed­lehC．the Mute Singer was a tall, handsome man with beautiful voiceD．the Mute Singer raised money to help beggars in Geed­leh解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第二段至第七段的描述可知，“沉默的歌者”并没有因为失去声音而丧失信心，而是继续创造他自己的音乐。7．What's the author's attitude towards the Mute Singer?A．Suspicious.　　　　 B．Respectful.C．Pessimistic.   D．Understanding.解析：选B　观点态度题。根据第三段中的“he looked like one of the wise men you read about in the Bible”可知，作者对“沉默的歌者”充满了敬意。respectful“恭敬的”。8．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．The Holy Town Geed­lehB．The Sound of a FrogC．The Home of BeggarsD．The Mute Singer解析：选D　标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述“沉默的歌者”的故事，因此D项正确。Ⅲ.语法填空Last summer，I began the biggest adventure of my life.I moved from a tiny city in England to one of the largest 1.        (city) in the world.As the plane touched down in Beijing，I 2.        (feel) excited—I finally arrived after months of planning.One of the first things I did was to visit the city's hutongs.With the warm air filled with the smell of delicious food，I was 3.
