Teaching Poetry

  No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or 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, 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 film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, bests 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, if there isn't tune for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, “a heightening of life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.

  I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on 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.

[  ]

A.to discuss it with others

[  ]

A.we should end the analyzing the poem by reading it aloud

B.students should read the poem at the end of poem class

C.to feel the original meaning of the author by hearing the poem to be read out loudly after discussing the meaning of it

D.sometimes the sound of the poem represents the meaning of it

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

[  ]

A.The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.

B.The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject.

C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.

  In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.

   Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100~150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.

  Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.

(1)Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage?

[  ]

A.Chemical dumping is a serious threat to Crafton City's soil.

B.The rapid growth of industry has brought air pollution to Crafton City.

C.The disposal of garbage can destroy recreation areas.

D.Industrial growth and progress have resulted in the pollution of Crafton City's water, air, and soil.

(2)According to the passage, what portion of the park had originally been marked for use as a garbage dump?

[  ]

A.Less than half     B.Exactly half

C.About one third    D.Most of it

(3)As it is used in the passage, the phrase“for good”means ________.

[  ]

A.practically    B.for ever

C.thoroughly    D.advantageously

(4)According to the passage, one result of dumping industrial chemicals into the landfill was that ________.

[  ]

A.the land became unsafe for humans

B.the animals on the land died

C.the poisonous chemicals were washed into the nearby river

D.the smoke from the chemicals polluted the air surrounding the landfill
