Poetry is a beautiful art form. Its power lies in the ability to transform ordinary experiences by capturing a moment or emotion. 1(write) poetry is a privilege and struggle, in part because we need to create in 2(we) a new way of observing the world, capturing microscopic moments as materials for our work. Most of our time at the desk 3(spend) wrestling with our imagination, and we know that a successful poem arrives on the back of failure. There are moments when an idea will not translate onto paper. Yet, failure is good, because every 4(abandon) line we painstakingly remove prepares us for the ripe poem around the corner.

【答案】

1Writing

2ourselves

3is spent

4abandoned

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了诗歌是一种美丽的艺术形式。它的力量在于通过捕捉一个瞬间或情感来改变普通经历的能力。文章描述了一些写诗时的感受。

1

考查非谓语动词。句意:写诗是一种特权,也是一种挣扎,部分原因是我们需要为自己创造一种观察世界的新方式,捕捉细微的瞬间,作为我们工作的素材。分析句子结构可知write在句中应用非谓语动词形式,且本句缺少主语,故应用动名词短语作主语,句首单词首字母要大写。故填Writing

2

考查代词。句意:写诗是一种特权,也是一种挣扎,部分原因是我们需要为自己创造一种观察世界的新方式,捕捉细微的瞬间,作为我们工作的素材。结合句意此处指代“我们自己”应用反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves

3

考查动词时态语态。句意:我们在办公桌前的大部分时间都在与想象搏斗,我们知道一首成功的诗是在失败的背景下诞生的。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系用被动语态,且陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语为Most of our time,故谓语动词用单数。故填is spent

4

考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,失败是好的,因为每一句我们苦心删除的废弃的诗句,都是为即将到来的成熟诗句做准备。分析句子结构可知abandon在句中应用非谓语动词形式,且与line构成被动关系,故应用过去分词作定语。故填abandoned

【题目】 China’s 40-year-long process of reform and opening up meant foreign influences gaining a foothold(一席之地) in the country. However, now the process can also be viewed in the opposite way, that is, the outside world is opening up as a receptacle for Chinese culture. Where once it was all a matter of Chinese people fascinated by Hollywood movies, a new “soft power” trend is taking Chinese pop music, TV series and novels to appreciative audiences abroad.

Englishwoman Hollie Sowden and American Nora Wilson developed a website called “Written Chinese,” with a Chinese woman named Chamcen Liu. The website provides a dictionary and other Mandarin-learning tools. Wilson says, “At the beginning, it was just a Facebook page where we posted characters, their meanings and example sentences. That page expanded like crazy, with nearly 280, 000 followers. That’s why we decided to develop a dictionary app and then the website.”

Sowden and Wilson aren’t the only eager to tap world interest in China.

Years ago, groups formed in the US to provide English subtitles for popular Chinese TV dramas. There are also websites translating Chinese novels, especially fantasy series. Wuxia World and Gravity Tales are two examples, with tens of thousands of followers on their Facebook pages.

Chinese music, too, is walking through the open door that once was a one-way street. Melody C2E is a student club at the Shanghai International Studies University. It now has around 300, 000 subscribers. The inspiration is rooted in 2016, when Pan Jianghao heard a youth envoy(公使) for the United Nations say that the world wanted to hear more from Chinese young people. Motivated by his words, Pan and Lin Hongying decided to found a new musical group and share Chinese pop songs with the rest of the world via English translation.

2What do we know about “Written Chinese”?

【题目】 Going to work every day can be a very stressful and frustrating situation when you're dealing with a difficult co-worker.1 Learn how to effectively handle a problem-causing co-worker in order to maintain your sanity and your work productivity.

2 People often act out in order to receive attention from others. A co-worker with a bad attitude may feel like no one ever listens to her. Listen intently to what your co-worker says, and make a point to show her that you are concentrating on what she is saying with occasional nods and questions.

Change your scenery for a few minutes. Work days can be tiring and long. Sometimes, all you might need is a slight, temporary change in scenery.3 Either go for a five-minute outdoor walk or sit in the company lounge by yourself with a hot cup of coffee. Refresh yourself so you may be able to come back to your Co-worker with a better state of mind.

Communicate with your co-worker. Understand that if you do not voice your concerns to your co-worker, it is unlikely that she will ever change. After all, she may not even know that a problem exists. If you are unable to confront your co-worker, just politely ask her to have a chat, openly talking to her about what is bothering you. Ask her if you do anything to bother her, as well.4

Treat your co-worker as nicely as possible. When someone is treating you kindly, it can become significantly more difficult to treat her badly in return.5 She may even feel guilty about her mistreatment of you and change her behavior.

A.Follow her ideas if possible.

B.Lend an ear to your co-worker.

C.Speak to your co-worker in a kind way.

D.Find out the good things in your co-worker.

E.Take quick "time outs" every couple of hours.

F.Without proper action, things might tum into a mess.
