The most【C1】_people have memorized poetry; the most cultured have nurtured it. Poetry knows no【C2】_, neither culture, age, gender, nor r

21、eligion. We can even make a case that poetry captures the【C3】_of the universe, the ebb and flow of the tides, the beat of the seasons, and the rise and fall of our breath. Why is poetry the【C4】_thing humanity has to a universal language? Because poetry 【C5】_the ear, mind, and soul. It satisfies our【

22、C6】_for beauty through the power of its language. But poetry【C7】_more than mere pleasure. It also communicates【C8】_Good poetry offers food for the【C9】_“Poetry, “ wrote the Nobel Prize-winning poet T. S.

As a result, poetry is not something special or【C14】_from our daily lives.

24、 Rather, it is an【C15】_part of everyone, an expression of our【C16】_hopes, wishes, and dreams. Although poetry satisfies a deep human appetite, many people fear and【C17】_it, claiming it is obscure, as it is written by men and women out of【C18】_with the realities of life. In fact, from the earliest ti

25、mes, most poets have been people of【C19】_, deeply involved with the rhythms of life. Ben Jonson was a bricklayer and Robert Bums a farmer. Nor are female poets【C20】_from the rigors of life. Phillis Wheatley was a former slave and Stevie Smith, a secretary.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.uneducatedB.amb

Which food is related to illness is not a new discovery. 【M5】_In 1945 , government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other foodadditives, caus

Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain 【M6】_in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time knowing which 【M7】_things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and po

33、ultry, and because of this, penicillin has beenfound in the milk of treating cows. Sometimes similar drugs are 【M8】_administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financialreasons. The farmers are simply trying to fat the animals in order to 【M9】_obtain a higher price on the market. Altho

She had only to move that pen from left to rightfrom ten oclock to one. Then it occurred to her to do what is simple and cheap enough after allto slip a few o

36、f those pages into an envelope, fix a penny stamp in the corner, and drop the envelope into the red box at the corner. It was thus that I became a journalist; and my effort was rewarded on the first day of the following montha very glorious day it was for meby a letter from an editor containing a ch

37、eque for one pound ten shillings and sixpence. B. What could be easier than to write articles? But wait a moment. Articles have to be about something. Mine, I seemed to remember, was about a novel by a famous man. And while I was writing this review, I discovered that if I were going to review books

38、 I should need to do battle with a certain phantom. And the phantom was a woman, and when I came to know her better I called her after the heroine of a famous poem “The Angel in the House“. It was she who used to come between me and my paper when I was writing reviews. It was she who bothered me and

39、 wasted my time and so tormented me that at last I killed her. I will describe her as shortly as I can. She was intensely sympathetic. She was immensely charming. She was utterly unselfish. She excelled in the difficult arts of family life. She sacrificed herself daily. She was so constituted that s

40、he never had a mind or a wish of her own, but preferred to sympathize with the minds and wishes of others. Above all I need not say itshe was pure. In those days every house had its angel. And when I came to write I encountered her with the very first words. The shadow of her wings fell on my page;

41、I heard the rustling of her skirts in the room. Directly, that is to say, I took my pen in hand to review that novel by a famous man, she slipped behind me and whispered; “My dear, you are a young woman. You are writing about a book that has been written by a man. Be sympathetic; be tender; flatter;

42、 deceive; use all the arts and wiles of our sex. Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all, be pure. “ And she made as if to guide my pen. I now record the one act for which I take some credit to myself. I turned upon her and caught her by the throat. I did my best to kill

43、her. My excuse, if I were to be had up in a court of law, would be that I acted in self-defense. Had I not killed her she would have killed me. She would have plucked the heart of my writing. For, as I found, directly I put pen to paper, you can not even review a novel without having a mind of your

44、own, without expressing what you think to be the truth about human relations, morality, sex. And all these questions, according to the Angel in the House, cannot be dealt with freely and openly by women; they must charm, they must conciliate, they mustto put it bluntlytell lies if they are to succee

45、d. Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her wing or the radiance of her halo upon my page, I took up the inkpot and flung it at her. She died hard. Her fictitious nature was of great assistance to her. It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.（分数：18.00）(1).The author most likely describes “a gir
