　　(2017·山西忻州一中四校联考)

　　Have you ever heard of a great Chilean poet? He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 110th birthday of Pablo Neruda(1904—1973)．

　　Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.

　　However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.

　　In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair”. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

　　Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “I need the sea because it teaches me，” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed(共鸣) in his work.

　　Ⅱ.阅读填句

　　(2017·石家庄市二中月考)

　　There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. __1__

　　The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. __2__ Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.

　　The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding. __3__ Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.

　　What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. __4__ Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.

　　__5__ It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.

　　A．Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.

　　B．Such communication between unequals must be possible.

　　C．We can get access to the content of those materials easily.

　　D．The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.

　　E．The writer should have a better communicating skill.

　　F．Besides gaining information and understanding, there's another goal of reading—entertainment.

　　G．Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.

　　答案与解析

　　本文讲述阅读中得到的信息与理解的信息是有区别的。

　　1．A　根据第二段提到the first sense 和第三段开始提到the second sense 都明确指向A项的in two distinct senses, 而A选项的thus 表示的因果逻辑关系也和前一句reading for information 和 understanding合理链接，故A项正确。

　　2．C　后一句话“这样的材料增加我们信息的存储，但是不能提高我们的理解力”，所以在此处与理解无关，与信息有关，并且后句话中的 such materials 作代词起指代作用，故选C项。

　　3．B　由下一句可知这里想说作者和读者之间的不平等沟通会发生。

　　4．D　前句话inequality in understanding 强调了读者和作者的不对等，满足这个信息的有B项和D项。后句话中his book 指代前句话某个人，故D项合适。

　　5．F　后两句中提到can read for entertainment 非常明显提示5题答案在F和G两个包含entertainment 的信息中，而文章第四段讲得分别是reading for information 和 reading for understanding, 第五段reading for entertainment 是新的一分支结构，故由F项的 besides 可知答案。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空

　　Our experience at the Children's Medical Care Center was eye­opening. We saw a lot of children without hair due __1__ their radioactive treatment. We played with them and taught them to draw pictures. The children, though suffering such great pains, were so friendly that it was much __2__ (easy) to interact with them than we had expected.

　　One day, an incident deeply touched us. A girl suggested that she teach us how to fold paper. She taught us with great __3__ (patient), explaining each step slowly and clearly. Though we could easily do that, we still pretended to know nothing about it. We followed her, step by step, doing everything she told us. Finally, when we finished our work __4__ (success), she gave each of us __5__ big hug. We could see the pride and happiness on her face. Her father was so thankful to us that he held our hands tightly, tears in his eyes. And it was not until then __6__ we knew the girl would receive an operation the next day.

　　Many stories happened at the center. It was really a __7__ (value) experience to us all, __8__(enrich) our life in a positive way. The children's happy faces and their strong minds will stay with us forever. The days we spent at the Center inspired us boys to reflect __9__ many things. We began to reflect on how to deal with the difficulties in life, because our “troubles” seem not worth mentioning at all compared with __10__ these innocent kids are going through.

　　Dear Sir，

　　Last night I got caught in the heavy rain on the way home. As the result, I got a bad cold with a headache. I felt very tiring. My mother took me see the doctor.

　　In spite of the fast development of transportation in the major cities of China, more and more traffic problems are arising.

　　____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

　　范文

　　In_spite_of_the_fast_development_of_transportation_in_the_major_cities_of_China,_more_and_more_traffic_problems_are_arising. A serious one is heavy traffic. Very often, we see cars in front of us parked on both sides of the street, driving down the street, or stuck in traffic with drivers waiting impatiently.

　　There're mainly two factors that cause this problem. In the first place, vast population contributes to heavy traffic and growing numbers of private cars add to the pressure on the

　　severe traffic conditions.What's worse, some people are unaware of the importance of obeying traffic regulations, so it's not uncommon to see accidents blocking traffic.

　　Personally，I think that rather than promote private cars, it's better to improve the public transportation system with scientific road design and proper management. More importantly, never can traffic jams be eased without self­disciplined citizens.
