Ⅱ.阅读理解
Lucille Clifton, the AwardWinning 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. Samuel Clifton 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. They do not deal in makebelieve. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. There is very little punctuation(标点) and even less capitalization. Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art.
16．Which of the following may be the reason why Lucille Clifton chose to call herself Lucille instead of Thelma?
A．To show her love to her mother.
B．To show her love to her beloved teacher.
C．To show respect to her greatgrandmother.
D．To show her respect to a great poet.
17．From the passage, we know that Lucille Clifton is ________.
A．funny
B．creative
C．selfish
D．beautiful
18．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Lucille Clifton's parents affected her a lot.
B．Lucille Clifton's poetry was very traditional.
C．Thelma Sayles published many poems.
D．Lucille Clifton's poetry was very formal.
19．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Lucille Clifton's great works.
B．Lucille Clifton's poem background.
C．Lucille Clifton's poem style.
D．Lucille Clifton's poem words.
20．The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.
A．Samuel Clifton
B．Samuel Clifton's experience

答案
课时作业(二十七)
Ⅰ.1.B 考查动词短语辨析。句意为：再坚持一会儿，我就会来救你。这里是一个“祈使句＋and/or＋陈述句”的结构。go on意为“继续”；hold on意为“等会儿，坚持一会儿”；move on意为“继续”；carry on意为“继续开展，进行”。
2．B 考查交际用语。句意：“天晚了，恐怕我得走了。”“再见！”so long意为“再见”，符合语境。go slowly和stay longer是中式英语；all right意为“行，可以；良好”，不符合语境。
3．B 考查动词短语辨析。run out/give out意为“用完，耗尽”，主语通常为物，不用于被动语态。run out of/use up “用完，耗尽(某物)”，若主语为物，应用被动语态，若主语为人，则用主动语态。
4．D 考查虚拟语气。Had I been a little more careful是If I had been a little more careful的省略倒装形式，由此可知是对过去事实的假设，所以主句谓语用wouldn't have done。句意：如果我再细心点，就不会犯这么愚蠢的错误了。
5．C 考查动词辨析。句意：他们把成箱的食物装上卡车运往四川灾区。load…with…意为“用……装载”；supply意为“供应”；provide意为“提供”；unload意为“卸货”。
6．A 考查动词短语辨析。let out意为“放大(尺寸)”；give away意为“赠送，泄露”；bring in意为“引进”；lay out意为“铺开；布置；策划”。
7．A 考查动词辨析。句意：你如果老是那样捉弄别人，你就会失去朋友们对你的好感。tease意为“取笑”；cheese 是名词，意为“奶酪”；choose意为“选择”；tear意为“撕毁”。
8．C 考查虚拟语气。根据“wouldn't have lost”可判断if引导的状语从句表示与过去事实相反的假设，故选C项。
9．B 考查虚拟语气。I'd rather＝I would rather，后应用虚拟语气。
10．C 考查冠词用法。第一空表示“最大的降水量”，为形容词的最高级，故用the；第二空表特指用the，故选C项。
11．B 考查交际用语。前面提到“你可以把电视的声音关小点吗？”答语为“……打扰你了吗？”这表明回答方表示不好意思，故用B项，I'm sorry表道歉。A项意为“别急”；C项意为“一点也不”；D项意为“看情况而定”，这三项均不符合语境。
12．A 考查动词的时态。句意：“你认为我们应当接受提供的帮助吗？”“是的，因为到目前为止，我们的运气如此糟糕，而且时间紧迫。”up till now(迄今为止)常与现在完成时连用，而时间“正在”消耗殆尽，用现在进行时，故选A。
13．C 考查动词短语辨析。按照句意此处有“编造笑话”之意。turn up出现，将……调大；put up举起，搭建，张贴；show up 出现。
14．C 考查交际用语。解答本题的关键是理解语境。“May I take your order now？”表示“现在请您点菜好吗”，显然选项C符合语境。
15．D 考查非谓语动词。problems与remain为主谓关系，故在with结构中用remaining；remaining后接不定式to be settled意为“有待解决的”。
Ⅱ.本文主要介绍了马里兰州第一届黑人桂冠诗人获奖者Lucille Clifton的父母对她的影响，以及她的诗歌的风格。
16．C 细节理解题。由第二段“She was named Thelma after her mother…When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.”以及第四段“…especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia.”可知Lucille曾经是她尊敬的曾祖母的名字。
17．B 推理判断题。由最后一段“…Lucille Clifton's poetry was anything but traditional…Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art.”可知她在诗歌创作方面不传统，独创自己的风格，可推出“她是一个有创造力的人”。
18．A 推理判断题。由第三段“She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother…She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew…”和第四段“While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling.”可推出“她的父母对她影响很大”。
19．C 主旨大意题。最后一段提到Lucille Clifton的诗歌不传统，不押韵，没有特别的句式，没有虚幻的词汇，而是简单、真实、直接，采用了随意放松的语言等可知，此段主要讲述了其诗歌的风格。
20．D 词义猜测题。由画线词的前一句“…she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia…”可知it应该指的是其曾祖母的事迹。
