5.Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets,John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery,human nature,and philosophy.Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education,his own studies and passion brought him much success.Additionally,his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower,middle-class family,the young John didn't attend a private school,but went to a public one.His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies.After his father's death in the early 1800s,followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核),he began viewing life differently.He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16,the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor.However,his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy,especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser.He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816,entitled O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell.Within two monthOs in 1817,Keats had written an entire volume of poetry,but was sharply criticized by a magazine.However,the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律).
John Keats'next work was Endymion,which was published in May 1818.The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human.Following Engymion,however,he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella.During this time,John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences.He would have to have the"knowledge"associated with his poems.His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned.However,a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.

31.John Keats'attitude towards life changed because ofB.
A.his early education from school           
B.the deaths of his parents
C.Edmund Spenser's poetry

A.They read many books.
B.They had a bad childhood
C.They died of the same disease.
D.They showed strong interest in poetry
33.What do we know from the passage?B
A.Keats received little education at school.
B.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
C.In 1816Keats spent two months writing a poem.

34.While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first,John Keats wasA.
A.determined       B.experienced    
C.knowledgeable    D.impatient
35.What can we infer from the passage?D
A.Keats'family must have been very poor when he was young.
B.Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats'time.
C.It is likely that Keats rewrote his poem Isabella.
D.The poem Hyperion wasn't completed by Keats.

分析 本文记叙了英国诗人John Keats的生平和作品.诗人儿时家庭贫困,曾经学医,但是对诗歌更有兴趣.父母的相继去世,改变了诗人的人生态度,从此一改不爱读书的习惯,躲进书堆、逃避世界.1816年出版处女诗作.1817年出版诗集,但是受到一家杂志的尖锐批评,然而没有放弃对诗歌的执着.在意识到自己生活经历限制了自己诗歌创作之后,诗人原本在下一部作品中将诗歌与"知识"集合起来,但是英年早逝,于1821年离世.

解答 31-35 BCBAD
31题答案:B细节题.由第二段After his father's death in the early 1800s,followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核),he began viewing life differently.(他的父亲19世纪早期去世,紧接着他的母亲由于肺结核去世后他开始以不同的眼光看待世界)可知诗人在父母相继离世后开始改变对生活的看法.故B项正确.
32题答案:C细节题.由第二段followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (接着他的母亲因肺结核去世)和文章最后一句a bout (发作) with tuberculosis …eventually take his life in 1821.(1821年一次肺结核的发作最终夺去了他母亲的生命)可知,诗人与母亲死于相同疾病.故C项正确.
33题答案:B细节题.由第三段第一句话the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon.(青年John Keats 开始在外科医生的指导下学习)可知,诗人16岁时曾师从一位外科医生.surgeon:外科医生.A项与原文不符,犯了偷换概念的错误.原文第一段说的是诗人没有受过文学方面的正规教育(Keats didn't receive much formal literary education)而非"学校教育有限).1817年诗人用了不到两个月写出诗集,而非1816年,C项错误.Endymion是一首神话诗歌(love with the moon goddess)而非真实爱情故事,D项错误.故B项正确.
34题答案:A细节题.从第三段最后一句However,the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm.然而,尖锐的批评没有时诗人放弃对诗歌是执着.故A项正确.determined:意志坚定的.
35题答案:D推断题.由最后一段His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned.However,a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work.(他的下一部作品Hyperion本来是想要把他所学的所有结合在一起,然而去意大利参观时肺结核的突然发作阻止了他的工作)可知该部作品未能完成.故D项正确.A项由文章第二段明确提及,无需推断.B,C两项文中没有依据.

点评 本文是一篇人物故事类阅读,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对 性找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确的答案.

17.[1]Many foreign students report feeling lonely or unwelcome in Australia.Those feelings are among the reasons why Australia is taking a close look at its international education industry.But wherever international students go,making friends may not always be easy.Elisabeth Gareis of Baruch College in New York surveyed four hundred fifty-four international students.They were attending four-year colleges and graduate schools in the American South and Northeast.
[2]Students from English-speaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships.But thirty-eight percent of the international students said they had no close friends in the United States.And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had.Professor Gareis says thirty percent said they wished their friendships could be deeper and more meaningful.
[3]Professor Gareis says:"Students from East Asia have cultures that are different on many levels from the culture in the United States.But then there's also language problems,and maybe some social skills,such as small talk,that are possibly not as important in their native countries,where it's not as important to develop friendships with small talk.Many East Asian students blamed themselves for their limited friendships with Americans,for not speaking the language well enough,not knowing the culture well enough."
[4]VOA's Student Union blogger Jessica Stahl did her own survey to find out how American students and foreign students relate to each other.More than one hundred students,about half of them American,answered her online questions.Half of the international students and sixty percent of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group.
[5]Professor Gareis says students who make friends from their host country return home happier with their experience.
[6]Professor Gareis says:"International students who make friends with host nationals are,overall,morepleased with their stay in the host country.They have better language skills,they have better academic performance and they have better attitudes toward the host country."

46.What does the passage mainly talk about?(within 10words)
Making friends may not always be easy for foreign students
47.How do many foreign students feel in Australia?(within 5words)
They feel lonely or unwelcome
48.Why do East Asian students have limited friendships with Americans?(within 6words)
①different cultures②language problems③social skills
49.How did Jessica Stahl carry out her survey?(within 6words)
By asking questions on the Internet

14.In 1977,a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a nineteen-month-old baby in a most unusual way.The author was Agatha Christie,a gentle married lady and one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world.
In June 1977,a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar (卡塔尔),near Sandi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯).Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness,so she was flown to London and sent to Hammersmith Hospital.A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they,too,were puzzled by the very unusual signs of illness.While they were having a discussion about the baby's illness,a nurse asked to speak to them.
"Excuse me,"said Nurse Marsha Maitland,"but I think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning(铊中毒)."
"What makes you think that?"Dr.Brown asked."Thallium poisoning is very rare."
"A few days ago,I was reading a novel called‘A Pale Horse'by Agatha Christie,"Nurse Maitland explained."In the book,somebody uses thallium poison,and all the signs are exactly the same as the baby's."
"You are very careful and you may be right,"another doctor said."we'll carry out some tests and find out whether it's thallium(铊) or not."
Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium.Once they knew the cause of the illness,the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment.She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar.Later on it was proved that the poison might have come from an insecticide(杀虫剂) used in Qatar.
46.Who first suggested the correct cause of the baby's illness?B
A.A doctor in Qatar.B.Agatha Christie.
C.Dr.Brown.D.Nurse Maitland.
47.Why was the baby sent to London?B
A.She was a British girl whose parents were working in Qatar.
B.The Qatar doctors were not sure they could cure her.
C.She was the daughter of a doctor in one of the places.
D.The hospitals in Qatar were full at that time.
48.As far as we can tell from the passage,Agatha ChristieC.
A.had spent a long time as a police officer
B.visited the baby in the hospital at Hammersmith
C.had never even met this baby
D.gave Nurse Maitland some advice on the phone
49.Nurse Maitland spoke to the doctorsA.
A.to suggest a possible reason for the patient's illness
B.because she could see that the doctors had made a mistake
C.when she heard them discussing the possibility of thallium poison
D.after she had read about a horse which had been poisoned
50.What did the doctor think of the suggestion which Nurse Maitland made?B
A.They were very quick to agree with her.
B.They thought it was a possibility worth considering.
C.They said that she was wrong because thallium poisoning is very rare.
D.They were unhappy over her interruption.
