Following Cook’s death in 1779,the Endeavour journal of James Cook is thought to have been held by his wife Elizabeth. There is no record of the journal’s movements following Elizabeth Cook’s death in 1835 until its appearance in 1923 when it was offered at auction(拍卖) by its owners, the Bolckow family of Yorkshire. The family were unable to explain how they came to hold the journal. It had apparently been in the family’s library for over fifty years, having been purchased by the late Bolckow’s uncle, but from whom and in what circumstances was unknown.
On March 21, 1923, the Australian government purchased the Endeavour journal for ￡5,000 for the Parliamentary Library.
The Mitchell Library, Sydney, had been chasing the journal since its discovery by the Bolckow family in 1922 before the auction, and had approached the Commonwealth Government for a financial contribution towards the purchase. Though Interim(临时的)Commonwealth Parliamentary Librarian Arthur Wadsworth had guaranteed that there would be no competition for the item, Kenneth Binns (to be Wadsworth’s successor)felt that the Endeavour journal was more suitable to remain within the nation’s library.
Binns put forward an eventually persuasive argument that the Commonwealth could not finance the Mitchell Library, which was, after all, a private institution. Prime Minister Bruce telegraphed the officer in London to instruct the Mitchell Library’s Chief Librarian, already in England anticipating the auction, to bid on behalf of the Common-wealth. The Mitchell Library accepted on the understanding that it would be the keeper of the journal until such time that the Commonwealth Government had a suitable storage place, a National Library.
Upon arrival in Australia, the journal was exhibited in Queen’s Hall, Melbourne, for a month after which it was taken to the Mitchell Library which held it for four years, before it was removed to Canberra.
1. Who owned the Endeavour journal of James Cook at last?
A. James Cook.
B. Elizabeth Cook.
C. The Bolckow family of Yorkshire.
D. The Australian government.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“On March 21, 1923, the Australian government purchased the Endeavour journal for ￡ 5,000 for the Parliamentary Library.”可知,詹姆斯·库克的“奋进号”航海日志最终归澳大利亚政府所有。故选D。
答案:D
2. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Melbourne.
B. The Mitchell Library.
C. The Commonwealth Government.
D. Canberra.
解析:代词指代题。根据第三段中的“The Mitchell Library,Sydney, had been chasing the journal since its discovery by the Bolckow family in 1922 before the auction, and had approached the Commonwealth Government for a financial contribution towards the purchase.”可知,米切尔图书馆一直想购买并保管这本日志,但通过后文可知,英联邦政府并不同意它的申请,但双方达成了一个协议。由此可推断出,画线词it指代的是句中的The Mitchell Library。故选B。
答案:B
3. What can you learn from the text?
A. Cook’s wife Elizabeth passed on the Endeavour journal to the Bolckow family.
B. The Mitchell Library bought the Endeavour journal at its own expense.
C. The Endeavour journal was on show in Melbourne before being taken to Sydney.
D. The National Library of Australia is in Melbourne.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“the journal was exhibited in Queen’s Hall, Melbourne, for a month after which it was taken to the Mitchell Library”可知,“奋进号”航海日志被带到悉尼之前,在墨尔本展出过。故选C。
答案:C
4. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Who owns the Endeavour journal at present.
B. How the Endeavour journal came to the Mitchell Library of Sydney.
C. The Endeavour journal is very valuable to the Australian government.
D. How important the Endeavour journal is to Australians.
解析:主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“On March 21, 1923, the Australian government purchased the Endeavour journal for ￡ 5,000 for the Parliamentary Library.”和第四段中的“The Mitchell Library accepted on the understanding that it would be the keeper of the journal until such time that the Commonwealth Government had a suitable storage place, a National Library.”可知,本文主要介绍的是库克的“奋进号”航海日志由博尔科家族进行拍卖,被澳大利亚政府以5 000英镑的价格购买,并暂时由米切尔图书馆代为保管的事情。由此可知,B项(“奋进号”航海日志是如何来到悉尼米切尔图书馆的)能够概括文章主要内容。故选B。
答案:B
B
Despite its short history, there is a lot of good English poetry around. The earliest English poetry was written in a kind of English that is now difficult to understand. Modern English started around the time of William Shakespeare, towards the end of the 16th century. The 17th century was a great time for English poetry. Shakespeare is famous for his plays. His sonnets, however, belong to the best English poetry. In the next generation of great English poets, we met John Donne. Chinese readers admire his works because of his use of surprising images that reminds them of the works of poets such as Su Dongpo. Before the end of the century, there was another famous writer, John Milton. Once published, his works became famous for the absence of rhyme at the end of each line. In the 18th century, it was Alexander Pope who wrote the finest poetry in England.
The next period that produced a great number of fine poets was the 19th century. Greatly loved in China were the English romantic poets. The style and atmosphere in poems by William Wordsworth, George Gordon Byron and John Keats have often led us to think of some poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai.
Finally, modern poets have their special attraction because they stand closest to us both in the language and images they use. Among them we find American poet Robert Frost.
The introduction of English poetry to China came late. Towards the end of the 19th century, Chinese writers started reading more foreign poetry. The great moment for European literature to come to China was between 1910 and the late 1930s when famous writers such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo translated both poetry and novels from English into Chinese.

Long ago, poets in Japan listened, watched, and caught the beauty of the earth’s songs like the raindrops. They did this with the tiniest poems in the world, called haiku. A haiku is a poem that is just three lines and seventeen syllables long. And the poets who wrote them watched and listened, not only with their eyes and ears, but also with their hearts!
In their haiku, the early Japanese poets caught the colours, sounds, and beauties of the seasons of the year. They sang of their islands’ beauties. Their miniature poems were not meant to fully describe a scene or to explain it but rather were a flash impression.
Interestingly enough, Japanese poetry has had a long and colourful history. In the prehaiku period in the early eighth century, Japanese poets wrote katauta, poems in a question-and-answer form, using two people. Each three-line verse contained about seventeen syllables that could be delivered easily in one breath—just as one would naturally ask or answer a question. This has remained the basic pattern for traditional Japanese poetry throughout the centuries.
Another form that appeared was the tanka, which contained five lines and thirty-one syllables (5, 7, 5, 7, 7), written by either one or two persons. From that evolved (逐步形成) the renga, which contained more than one verse, or link. Written by three or more people, it could have as many as 100 links! The first verse of the renga introduced a subject. It had three lines and was called hokku, or starting verse. Renga parties became a great pleasure.
Around 1450, haikai no renga became popular. This style of linked verse contained puns(双关) and was humorous and amusing. The opening three lines were still called a hokku, and from haikai and hokku the term haiku evolved.
9. What does the underlined word “miniature” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Easy. B. Detailed.
C. Little. D. Selected.

Why read, and sometimes even write poetry? That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs.
I sing when I feel good. When I sing my favourite songs, I feel even better. Sometimes when I am listening to music and to the song words, I feel that it was written for me. A good song always makes me feel something. There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day. They help me get through the day.
They are like bright and warm colours in the middle of greys and shades. I like songs about love and friendship. The extraordinary thing is that my feelings are more special when I sing my favourite songs in English. 
I also like reading. I used to avoid poetry until an e-friend told me I should recite poems and not look up the meaning of the words. Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms, but the best thing is to just forget about them. In the beginning I felt quite strange. Now I always lock the door. Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling, but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm, and the sounds of the words, it is really a special experience.
I started with small poems, but now I think I most like long poems. I have different feelings with different poems. When I have had a bad day at school, I read Keats and forget everything. When I am sad I read Wordsworth by the light of a candle. When the poem is finished, I close the book and my sadness is gone.
1. Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?

For about three years now, I have been writing poetry. It was not until my junior year in high school that I developed an interest, love and skill for writing poetry.
Back in elementary school, I loved to write stories. I would write stories on post-it notes and anywhere I could. Yet when I had to write a limerick(五行打油诗) for an assignment, I could not wrap my head around poetry. I had a very hard time figuring out how to rhyme words and have the words make sense. I eventually tossed the paper with the attempted limerick in the trash. I did not try my hand at poetry again until several years later.
Many years later in my freshman year of high school, my English teacher gave my class a poetry project as an assignment. I still remember my limerick assignment and was afraid of doing the poetry project. For the project, we had to analyse a poem and write a response to it. I chose to respond to Robert Frost’s poem Fire and Ice. I also wrote my own poem first. I became really excited when writing the poem.
Two years later, I started writing poetry as a hobby and for fun. To learn how good or bad my poems were, I handed them in to some magazines and contests. I won the second place in the North Carolina Poetry Society’s Sherry Pruitt Award Contest, and had my two poems published as high quality poems. I have continued to write poetry, and have even self-published three collections of poetry in both print and e-book formats, which can be found in my store on Lulu.
Now, I love writing poetry, but I don’t hate writing short stories. I just find it more difficult and not my style of writing, even though I still write short stories occasionally.
