VI.阅读理解

     A

　　I am in seventh-grade language arts class in an old red-brick junior high school building. The afternoon sun streams through high windows that face the playground. It is the day I remember hearing this phrase for the first time：“the little/lame balloonman.”

　　It’s from“in Just-”，the E. E. Cummings poem we are reading. Mr. Katz is trying to loosen up our adolescent imaginations to the point where we might appreciate figurative language. There are phrases like“the world is mud-/luscious”，and then“puddle-wonderful”. Something begins to grow in me as a reader：the mixture of descriptive words and words expressing action.

　　Words would be and do what they describe! I’d like to think Mr. Katz was conspiring with the poem，sun，spring and kid energy，not just a lesson plan. From then on，I was a new reader and writer. When I looked back on that poem as a starting line，I heard the call to poetry.

　　I would see“in Just-”in nearly every poem in my language arts life. It was in my very old“A Pocket Book of Modern Verse”，edited by Oscar Williams and in“An Approach to Poetry”，by  X. J. Kennedy. I began to understand that a poet is describing the world，experience，or concepts in a  way that antidotes dullness，commonness，and  indifference.“Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another，” Robert Frost explained.

　　Reading poems became a daily practice. I collect my own favorite expressions of life’s joys and sufferings. I’m fond of Billy Collins’ view： “The history of poetry is the only surviving history we have of human emotion. It is the history of the human heart. There is no other one.”

　　The special poems always lead me back to my memory of a sunny classroom，in junior high school when Mr. Katz carefully brought us into a new field—a moment that got me out of middle school mundanity. Even the dance on Friday and my drum lesson on Wednesday afternoon paled in comparison. I was addicted to poetry.

1. What is Mr. Katz trying to do in his class?

A. Fire up students’ interest in poetry.  B. Finish his lesson plan on time.

C. Teach students to write poems.  D. Use great words to express himself.

2. What does Robert Frost think of poetry?

A. It makes the theme obvious.    B. It talks about practical concepts.

C. It carries underlying meaning.    D. It allows dullness and commonness.

3. How did the author find his/her middle school?

A. The dance on Friday was quite boring.   B. The language arts lesson was incomparable.

C. The school life remained generally the same. D. The drum lesson on Wednesday was a piece of cake.

4. What’s the best title of the article?

A. My junior school life     B. Mr. Katz’s language arts lessons

C. My language arts life     D. My love of poetry

B

　　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，so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.

　　All discussions of poetry are，in fact，pre- parations for reading it aloud，and the reading  of the poem is，eventually，the most concrete “interpretation（解释）”of it，suggesting tone， rhymes，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 or，best of all，reciting it.

　　I have come to think，in fact，that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important  than“analyzing”it and“exchanging of views”， if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry and take it easy when we are reading a poem. Poetry is“a criticism of life”，and“a heightening（提升） of life”. It is“a most appropriate approach to the truth of feeling”，and  it“can transform your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature （文学） more central than it presently occupies.

　　I am not saying that every English teacher must try out poetry teaching. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to convey that negative feeling to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

5. What should one do to have a better understan-ding of a poem?

A. Discuss it with others.   B. Analyze it by oneself.

C. Copy it down in a notebook.   D. Practice reading it aloud.

6. What is one of the purposes of teaching English?

A. To get students to understand life.  B. To get students to enjoy poetry.

C. To get students to become teachers. D. To get students to become poets.

7. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?

A. More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.

B. Poetry is more important than any other literature genre.

C. One cannot enjoy life fully without a good understanding of poetry.

D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.

8. What does the underlined phrase“make room” （last paragraph）mean?

A. Build a booth.   B. Provide equipment.

C. Leave a certain amount of time.  D. Set aside enough space.
