8、ood thing, and children ought to do it. But people do object. At least, they object to the idea that children should be forced to learn poetry. They tend to be people like Michael Rosen. Rosen has more practical objections to children having to learn poetry by the governments order. Actually, Rosen
9、is all for learning poetry, when it feels right, which is, he says, one of those vague phrases much hated by people in authority and yet it is at the heart of good teaching. Hes onto something about the timing, but that doesnt mean policymakers are wrong to insist on pupils learning poetry. The prob
10、lem is that some influential educationists have come to see learning by heart as a waste of time when tomorrows adults will want skills more than information. Lets come to the most important objectorschildren. Their objection tends to come in the least offensive form. It comes in the question: Why a
11、re we doing this? Its a worthwhile inquiry. I teach at Sherborne School, where boys do learn poetry; and luckily theres time in our lessons to answer that question. Heres one of the answers I give. Therell be one time when your good friend is going to introduce you to someone with whom he wants to s
12、pend the rest of his life. Therell be a ceremony to honour this union, and words will be very important. Youre likely to be the one who has to stand up and say, “Let me not to the marriage of true minds/ Admit impediment” And when you do that, youre going to be speaking for everyone in the room. Now
13、, everybody breathes sigh of relief. Learning poetry and reciting poetry forces us to think of it in this public way.

It was originally titled First Impression because the appearances of the characters created the plot of the nove
17、l. However, because the novel is also concerned with effects of the characters first impressions,which is their prejudice. Austen found the title Pride and Prejudice more suitable. The tone of the novel is light, and satirical （讽刺） . Scenes such as Mr.Collins proposal （求婚） to Elizabeth, and Lady Cat
18、herines visits to Lizzy at Long Bourn, provide humorous relief to the readers while at the same time showing certain features of the characters. For example, Lydias lack of common sense and responsibility is showed when she takes pride in being the First Bennet girl to be married. Elizabeth Bennets
19、ability to laugh off her bad luck and to continue to be cheerful also contributes to the tone of the novel. As a result, the mood of the novel lacks dramatic emotions. The atmosphere is cold; there are little description of the setting. The main actions of the novel are the interactions between opin
20、ions, ideas, and attitudes,which advance the plot of the novel. The emotions in the novel are to be considered beneath the surface of the story and not to be expressed to the readers directly. It is a truth universally believed that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a w
21、ife.In this statement, Austin has cleverly done three things: she has declared that the main subject of the novel will be marriage, she has recognized the humorous tone of the novel by taking a simple subject to speak intelligently of, and she has prepared the reader for chase in the novel of either

24、ride and prejudice D. a background for Pride and Prejudice D When Peter Fortune was ten years old, grown- up people sometimes used to tell him he was a difficultchild. He never understood what they meant. He didnt feel difficult at all. He didnt throw milk bottles at the garden wall, or tip tomato k
25、etchup over his head and pretend it was blood, or slash at his grannys ankle with his sword, though he occasionally thought of these things. Apart from all vegetables except potatoes, and fish, eggs and cheese, there was nothing he would not eat. He wasnt noisier or dirtier or more stupid than anyon
26、e he knew. His name was easy to say and spell. His face, which was pale and freckled, was easy enough to remember. He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it. He was only as offensive to his sister as she was to him. Policemen never came knocking at th
27、e front door wanting to arrest him. Doctors in white coats never offered to take him away to the madhouse. As far as Peter was concerned, he was really quite easy. What was difficult about him? It was not until he had been a grown- up himself for many years that Peter finally understood. They though
28、t he was difficult because he was so silent. That seemed to bother people. The other problem was he liked being by himself. Not all the time, of course. Not even every day. But most days he liked to go off somewhere for an hour to his bedroom, or the park. He liked to be alone and think his thoughts
29、. Now, grown- ups like to think they know whats going on inside a ten- year- olds head. And its impossible to know what someone is thinking if they keep quiet about it. People would see Peter lying on his back on a summers afternoon, chewing a piece of grass and staring at the sky. Peter, Peter! Wha
30、t are you thinking about? they would call to him. And Peter would sit up with a start. Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.Grown- ups knew that something was going on inside that head, but they couldnt hear it or see it or feel it. They couldnt tell Peter to stop it, because they did not know what it was he
31、 was doing in there. He could have been setting his school on fire or feeding his sister to an alligator and escaping in a hot air balloon, but all they saw was a boy staring at the blue sky without blinking, a boy who did not hear you when you called his name. As for being on his own, grown- ups di
32、dnt much like that either. They dont even like other grown- ups being on their own. When you join in, people can see what youre up to. Youre up to what theyre up to. You have to join in, or youll spoil it for everyone else. Peter had different ideas. In fact, he thought, if people spent less time jo
33、ining in and making others join in, and spent a little time each day alone remembering who they were or who they might be, then the world would be a happier place and wars might never happen. The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesnt say much is that the teachers at school, especially the ones
34、who dont know you very well, are likely to think you are rather stupid. Or, if not stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head. A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk might think that he was bored, or stuck for

Effective measures to help Peter out. B. How the unique ideas Peter had amazed others. C. Difficulties keepin
38、g Peter from learning well. D. Further prejudice against Peter among grown- ups. 阅读理解 21- 23 BDA 24- 27 ACBB 28- 31 ABDA 32- 35 CAAB 江苏省海头高级中学 2020- 2021 学年高一下学期第一次学分认定 3 月英语考试 第一节(共 15 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Chicagos museums rank among the best in the world.Bel
