Elizabeth Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss. She went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia, Canada when she was five. Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry.

At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore's poetry and met Ms Moore and began their life-long friendship. She later met poet Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them, which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life.

Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. She would spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast. She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.

Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment she's writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene. It seems that she's always asking us to notice more, and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it's almost painful—like a light that's too bright.

4. What do we know about Bishop's early life?

A. She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.

B. She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.

C. She was always encouraged by her parents. 

D. She started to write poems at five.

5. Why are Bishop's letters to Moore and Lowell important?

A. They have a deep influence on other poets. 

B. They offer much information about her life.

C. They help us study Moore and Lowell's poetry. 

D. They prove she had friendships with famous poets.

6. What can we say about Bishop's poetic creation?

A. She liked to write in the morning. 

B. She could write poems at high speed.

C. She tried her best to achieve perfection. 

D. She published hundreds of books of poetry.

7. Which word can be used to best describe the style of Bishop’s poems?

A. Enthusiastic. B. Romantic. C. Humorous. D. Exact.

C

Before moving to Stokholm, I did my research on Sweden and was confident about my move. However, I quickly realized on my first day that so much of what I learned was so very wrong. There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.

The first is fika. A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends. Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect with others. Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.

I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly. I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me. However, Swedish people are not rude. Instead, they practice being logom, which means “just enough”.

The winters can be very dark and cold, so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted. Since the weather has been fine, I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm. Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking, which allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air. Though it has been very tiring to get used to, it also has made me feel better about all of the kardemummabullar that I have been eating!

I think it is important for students who want to study abroad to know that it is hard to move to countries no matter how “similar” you may think they may be. You have to jump in with both feet and be patient with yourself as well as others. As long as you keep an open mind and are willing to learn, you will have a great experience.

8. What do we know about fika?

A. It is a waste of time. B. It is a way to balance life and work.

C. It is all about drinking coffee. D. It is a Swedish social tradition.

9. What does the author think of Swedish people?

A. They are friendly. B. They seem a bit cold.

C. They appear really rude. D. They are interested in other's life.

10. Why does the author like walking?

A. It is fun and not very tiring. B. It is good exercise on cold days.

C. It allows her to enjoy sunny days. D. It gives her the chance to eat the local food.

11. What's the author's advice for students going abroad?

A. Be confident. B. Be careful.

C. Be open- minded. D. Be hard- working.

D

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.

Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.

No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.

Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.

12. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _______.

A. the art began from 1,500 B.C.

B. the works of art ended in the 1950s

C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed

D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed

13. What is the left hand for most people used to do?

A. It’s used to find or hold things.

B. It’s used to work with things.

C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.

D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.

14. According to the passage which of the following is NOT true?

A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.

B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.

D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.

15. The best title for this passage is _______.

A. Scientists’ New Inventions B. Left-handed People

C. Which Hand D. Different Brains, Different Hands

In my opinions, it is useful for people to learn from the past. As result, knowledge can be kept and pass from generation to generation. It brought our life convenience because of people have grasped rich knowledge. At the same time, learning from the past helps us avoid make the same mistakes a second time. People have gone through wars and diseases again and again. Perhaps many of these similarly experiences can be prevented. Therefore, if we look at the patterns of history but learn from our past failure, you will have a more peaceful world. Thus, we believe our world is becoming good than what it is.

书面表达

Dear Tom,

    I am sorry to hear that you feel nervous when taking an important exam. It is quite normal. Perhaps the following suggestions may offer you some help.

    First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams. Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed which might help us have a good sleep.

    I hope you’ll find these suggestions useful.

Yours sincerely, 

Li Hua
