Ⅲ. 阅读理解

Lucille Clifton, the award-winning poet, was the First African American Poet Laureate of Maryland. Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time.

Lucille Clifton was born Thelma Lucille Sayles in Depew, New York in 1936. She was named Thelma after her mother. Lucille was the name of one of her father’s ancestors. When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.

Lucille Clifton began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother’s lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew.

While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors, especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Her father said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia. Lucille Clifton wrote about it in her poem called Lucy.

She often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world.

Unlike her mother, Lucille Clifton’s poetry was anything but traditional. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to afflict (使痛苦) the comfortable and comfort the afflicted. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art.

A. To show her love to her mother.

B. To show respect to her great grandmother.

C. To show her love to her beloved teacher.

D. To show her respect to a great poet.

解析:细节理解题。根据第二段可知,露西尔·克利夫顿随母亲所取的名字为特尔玛,但她自称露西尔,结合第四段可知,露西尔是其父亲的祖母的名字,所以她自称露西尔是为了表示对其父亲的祖母(即曾祖母)的尊重,故选B。

答案:B

2. What can be inferred from the text?

A. Thelma Sayles published many poems.

B. Lucille Clifton’s poetry was very formal.

C. Lucille Clifton’s parents affected her a lot.

D. Lucille Clifton’s poetry was very traditional.

解析:推理判断题。根据第三、四段可知,受母亲的影响,她从小就对诗歌感兴趣,父亲也常给她讲故事,给予了她讲故事的才能,所以父母对她影响很大,故选C。

答案:C

3. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Lucille Clifton’s poem style.

B. Lucille Clifton’s great works.

C. Lucille Clifton’s poem words.

D. Lucille Clifton’s poem background.

解析:段落大意题。最后一段提到露西尔的诗歌不传统、不押韵、不遵循特殊的模式,没有华丽的语言。她的诗以简单、真实、直接著称。由此可知,该段主要讲述了其诗歌的风格,故选A。

答案:A

4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Her father.

B. Her father’s experience.

答案:D

Six months after suffering our 　10　 on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a 　11　 for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 　12　 of my life! 

From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 　13　 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 　14　 them. I helped them to see themselves 　15　, and they built themselves into winners.
