第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
No poem should ever be discussed or analyzed, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling“interpretation”of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting(背诵) it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analyzing it if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is a criticism of life, and a heightening(提升) of life. It is an approach to the truth of feeling, and it can save your life.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
21.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should________.
A．analyze it by oneself C．practise reading it aloud
B．copy it down in a notebook
D．discuss it with others
22.According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students________.
A．to enjoy poetry. C．to become poets
B．to become teachers. D．to understand life.
23.The underlined words“make room”in the last paragraph probably means .
A. to provide equipment C. to set aside enough space
B. to leave a certain amount of time
D. to build a booth

24.The best title for the passage may be .
A. Analyzing Poems C. Learning English
B. Discussing Poems D. Reading Poems Aloud
B
Not long ago, people could only buy organic food in small shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up 20 percent every year. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.
Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture. It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programs for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programs their food can never be approved organic.
India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing food that is healthy to mankind.
25.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Countries all want to make money from organic farming. B.Organic food has become much more common.
C.People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it. D.Farming organically is growing around the world. 26.Why do people want to increase organic farming?
A.Organic food is good for the Earth and the human beings. B.More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.

C.Profits from organic farming help make approval programs. D.There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings. 27.From the passage, it can be said that __________. A.China and India have the same amount of organic farmland B. India uses the least land to farm organically C. the US is the fourth largest organic farming country D. Brazil uses less land to farm organically than China 28.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. there will be fewer organic farms if demand for organic food goes down B. people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespan C. India will soon become the largest grower of organic food
D. more countries will farm organically as the environment gets worse
C
