When a thought has found words

Poetry（詩歌） is the forgotten child of literature． Few people read it for pleasure． In Western high

schools， poetry is seldom taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of today's students．

In China． however． poetry is still an important part of the curriculum（課程）． Recently， the Ministry of Education has increased the number of ancient Chinese poems for students to memorize and recite， from 14to Why is it important to learn poems？

First of all， poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese culture． It is a path to understanding your history and your society． It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and feelings that are common to everyone but that we may be unable to express-the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon， for example． Everyone has feelings of joy， love， loneliness， sadness and even anger， and a good poem can put those feelings into words and bring us self-understanding．

Poems can also express beauty． In a few short lines， even something common can become beautiful． Here is a poem called Fog by Carl Sandberg： The fog comes/on silent haunches（弓腰）/and then moves on． Yes， fog does move smoothly， silently and like a cat， and Sandberg catches that feeling and image（形象）， and makes it beautiful．

Of course， to really enjoy poetry， it has to be read aloud． After all， a poem is really just a song without music． Most ancient poetry， like Homer's Epics（《荷馬史詩》） and China's Book of Songs， was spoken for hundreds of years before it was written．

The American poet Robert Frost said， "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words．" You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!

【解析】

這篇短文講述了詩歌對于學生們的重要性，學習詩歌對學生們是非常有用的，尤其在中國，教育部已經(jīng)增加了學生們應該背誦的古詩詞的數(shù)量。

【1】根據(jù)短文中In Western high schools， poetry is seldom taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of today's students可知，在西方的中學里，詩歌很少被教授，因為它被認為是過時的，與現(xiàn)在學生們的生活沒有什么關系。再結(jié)合空前后可知，這里考查的是短語be different from…與…不同，故應填different。

【2】根據(jù)短文中Why is it important to learn poems和表格后面對應的內(nèi)容可知，這里介紹的是學習詩歌的原因。故這里應填Reasons，復數(shù)形式。

【3】根據(jù)短文中First of all， poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese culture． It is a path to understanding your history and your society可知，詩歌可以幫助學生理解歷史和社會。題目中使用了句型help sb. do sth.幫助某人做某事，因此這里填動詞原形understand。

【4】根據(jù)短文中Poems can also express beauty． In a few short lines， even something common can become beautiful詩歌可以用來表達常見事物的美。由此可知這里應填common，普遍的，常見的。

【5】根據(jù)短文中Of course， to really enjoy poetry， it has to be read aloud可知，大聲朗讀詩歌是享受詩歌最好的辦法。這個空是該句的主語，故應填動名詞形式Reading。

這篇短文中作者闡述了詩歌的重要性以及中國的學生們學習詩歌的情況。短文中心明確，主題突出，文章內(nèi)容貼近學生們的日常生活，比較容易理解。題型是任務型閱讀，要求根據(jù)文意整理信息，完成表格。做題時，應先通讀短文，了解文章的大意；然后觀察表格，這張表格其實是對文章結(jié)構和細節(jié)的一個歸納和概括；根據(jù)題目中的提示詞定位到原文，搜索有用信息作答。需要注意的是題目中的句子與原文的表達可能使用了不同的結(jié)構和句型，因此要注意變化單詞的正確形式。例如第3小題，由題目中express beauty可以定位到短文中First of all， poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese culture． It is a path to understanding your history and your society這句話，詩歌可以幫助學生理解歷史和社會，原文understanding是動名詞形式，而在題目中使用了句型help sb. do sth.幫助某人做某事，因此這里填動詞原形understand。
