47、tination.Mother'sloveisthebestgiftgivenbyGodandneverwillIforgetit.注意：1.文中要含有詩中的內容但不是照抄詩中的原句；2.詞數：100左右。;語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者在和朋友們去紐約參加朋友的婚禮I時，在賓館里偶爾談起生與死真正的意義，他們得到感悟，就決定在賓館的每間房門上;都貼上微笑卡，以給別人帶來快樂。這一舉動充分體現了給別人帶來快樂自己也快樂。1 .選C細節理解題。根據第一段的“Itisnotexactlythetypeofconversationsonehasatawedding.”可知作者

48、的觀點，他認為在婚禮上提到探索生與死的深層的意義不是很合適的話題。故選Q2 .選B細節理解題。根據第二段的“butonequotethatstoodoutformewasZach'ssimpleexplanationofhappiness”可知，這部電影給作者留下最深刻的印象是Zach對幸福的簡單解釋。故選B。3 .選A細節理解題。根據第二段的后半部分和最后一段可知，他們受電影的啟發，給他們所住的旅館里的每個門上都貼上了微笑卡，寫有不同的文字和祝福語。話篇而康花墓莪而正話不示司或躍而點綴它廄有莉于莪質環瑜的改善-血有利了我們的身心健康。一家網站為顧客提供各種花的信息以及如何布置和養花。

50、ittendown”可知，在很早以前詩歌只是口頭朗誦的，故可知當時詩歌的傳播方式為口頭傳授，故選Co9 .選B細節理解題。從第三段的介紹中可知，參賽者經過在班里，在學校，然后在市里和州里的比賽后，才來到華盛頓進行比賽。故B項正確。10 .選D細節理解題。從倒數第二段中的敘述中可知，朗誦詩歌可以給聽者帶來新的感受。故選D11 .選A細節理解題。從文章最后一句話"AnotherbenefitofacompetitionsuchasPoetryOutLoudisthattheparticipantslearnpublic-speakingskillsthatcanhelpthemforli

51、fe."可知A項正確。語篇解讀：文章向我們介紹了詩歌的重要性和本質。是第一段的主題12 .選D句意推測題。Peopleseldomfeelneutralaboutpoetry句，從下文所陳述人們對詩歌的態度可知，一般說來，人們認為詩歌要么非常重要，要么一點用也沒有。13 .選A推理判斷題。從第一段最后兩句可知，作者認為詩歌往往能夠表達出人的真正感受。14 .選C推理判斷題。由第二段“Poemsprovide,infact,alanguageforfeeling,andoneofpoetry'smostoutstandingvaluesinvolvesitsattempttoe

52、xpresstheinexpressible.”一句可知，人們不斷地通過詩來表達難以表達的感情。15 .選B主旨大意題。縱觀全文可知，文章主要講述詩歌的本質和重要性。16 20BGDFC語篇解讀：這是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。文章主要講述了“我”三歲的時候得了自閉癥,對于“我”來說生活非常的艱難，既要適應困難的環境，還得面對父母的離婚，是生活中的困難讓“我”變得堅強，是吉姆亨森的名言激勵著我實現了我夢寐已久的大學夢。21 DIwentthroughsomeofthejourneythathasbeenarockyroadblock(路障)duringmylife."可知"我經歷的

53、是像蹺蹺板一樣的生活”。22 .選B從下文的"suchasstrugglingto23thehardenvironment,helplesslyobservingmyparents'divorceandthe_24_againstmydisability."可知”我面對這些困難，對我來說是很大的挑戰"。challenging“挑戰的"，符合語境。23 .選C根據本句的"thehardenvironment”可知，是適應這困難的環境。dealwith"處理"；carryout”執行"；adaptto"

55、obstacles,意思是“克服這些困難”，overcome“克服”，符合句意。27 .選C根據文章第一句話"IwasborninBeacon,NewYork"可知是指當地的圖書館。local“當地的”，符合句意。28 .選B根據句中的workata(n)_27,可知“我在當地的一家圖書館里工作掙到一些錢”。29 .選D從下文的"TheRichieJewellChroniclesand50Poems”可知是加標題。title是動詞“加標題”。30 .選A根據前面的50poems可推出是“我每天寫的“。故選A。31 .選B語境：我不得不要面對新的挑戰。face“面對”，符合語境。32 .選C從句中的"butIwillgetstronger"和"asIovercomethem",可知"我在克服這些困難
