Many of us grew up reciting classic poems from textbooks, learning to appreciate this beautiful art form that’s able to use just a few lines to convey such rich meanings. To recognize the unique ability of poetry to acquire the creative spirit of the human mind, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year. One of the main goals of the day, according to the UN, is to support linguistic（语言的）diversity through poetic expression. Chinese poetry has a long history that dates back to the Western Zhou dynasty. It became extremely popular during the Tang and Song dynasties. Even today, classic poems are still loved by a lot of people. And even TV series featuring classic poetry are hugely popular. For example, in the 2011 hit period drama, The Legend of Zhenhuan, classic poems recited by the show’s characters are often quoted（引用）by Internet users. One of the drama’s most moving songs was adapted from a verse（韵文）written by Wen Tingyun of the Tang dynasty. Meanwhile, the TV show Chinese Poetry Competition, which features classic works from famous Chinese poets, is also a big success. “In poetry, I’ve found echoes（共鸣）of human emotions, including happiness, anger, joy and sorrow, ” one of the show’s contestants（参赛者）told CCTV. “When I read ancient texts, I feel I reach the depths of these poems and find the real meanings of them.” Classic poetry has become an important way to pass on and spread traditional Chinese culture. In January, the Ministry of Education released（发布）new curriculum standards for high schools that recommended students to recite 72 ancient poems or articles, up from 14. Indeed, many people believe that learning classic poems is important in today’s world. “Through the bridge of poetry, people today can resonate with （产生共鸣）the values of our ancestors. Their wisdom has gained new life in the modern world,” Yao Xishuang, director of the Department of Language Application and Administration under the Ministry of Education, told CCTV.
24. Why does the UN hold World Poetry Day, according to the article? A. To encourage the creation of poetry around the world. B. To bring attention to the linguistic differences in poetry. C. To build a better global community through poetry. D. To remind people of the long history of poetry. 25. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Poetry in our daily lives. B. Poetry in modern society.

My father was born in a small town in the US. He wasn’t sure what he wanted from life, but something told him to get out and begin a new adventure. He began that adventure traveling to cities in the US, before going on to Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and the Philippines. He took his wife and three daughters with him and went wherever the road took him. It’s easy to feel lonely when you’re on the road. As my mother said repeatedly, “We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them were mechanics（机修工）”, since we often spent hours in repair shops. But that was better than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine to cool when it was 40℃ outside. Getting along sometimes seemed impossible. There were always a lot of arguments, especially among us back-seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle. But even if it was hard, we did learn a lot about forgiveness. When we were traveling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one-hour drive but was nearly three, due to bad roads and worse traffic. “Did you put our suitcases in the car?” My father asked my mother as we arrived in Quezon City. From the back seat, we saw her slowly turn toward my father. “No,” she said “I thought you did.” That was how a 7-hour car trip turned into a 16-hour car trip, which was mostly spent in silence. On occasions like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were stuck in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and pushing one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself. This is why road trips were like mobile universities to us. We earned our degrees in how to get along with other people just by traveling in that old car. And if we were somehow given a second chance at life, we would do it all over again.
28. According to the first two paragraphs, the author’s father . A. didn’t like his hometown B. enjoyed going on adventures C. preferred traveling alone D. had never traveled abroad 29. During the road trips, . A. hot weather caused a lot of trouble for the family B. the author’s mother was proud to make friends C. the family often had to stop to get their car repaired D. they argued about who got to sit in the front
30. When the family was traveling in the Philippines, . A. they were surprised at the good traffic conditions on the way B. the father and mother had a big fight with each other C. they wasted a lot of time on the road after they forgot to take their suitcases D. the family had a wonderful time with each other on the road

It’s Friday night at Alice’s house in New Jersey, and each member of her family is enjoying a favorite show. Alice, 13, is downstairs studying YouTube baking（供培）videos on her iPhone. Her 10-year-old brother, Eric, is in his room on his laptop, watching a sports match. Their parents are upstairs watching a movie on Netflix. Only one set of eyes in the house is not staring at the screen: those of the family cat. Not so long ago, when Alice’s parents were at her age, such a scene would have been inconceivable. Back then, computers sat on desks and were mainly for doing work, and phones were just for talking. If you wanted to watch a show, you had to watch it on a TV set at the time it was aired. Plus, there were a limited number of shows to choose from. Today, we can choose from thousands of shows, videos, and movies whenever we want. And we can watch our favorite programs on a number of devices（设备）from just about any place we want. The number of quality shows is higher than ever. Families no longer have to fight over what to watch because every family member can watch what they want on their own devices. But what do these changes mean for our culture? Decades ago, people of different backgrounds and beliefs would come together through their shared love of a particular show. Families spent their evenings together watching “must-see” shows. Studies have found that today, few shows are popular everywhere. While people in rural areas are watching The Voice and Duck Dynasty, people in cities are watching The Simpsons and Modem Family. And there are dozens of new shows on TV and online, each with a different point of view. Could all these choices be making our nation and our families more divided? Alice isn’t sure. But she admits that her family is worried about their habits. They made a once-a-month family movie night. They take turns choosing what to watch. 32. What can we infer from the scene in Alice’s house? A. TV shows are no longer popular these days. B. Quality shows are badly needed in the US. C. Pets are becoming more and more unimportant. D. Technology has changed how we watch TV shows.
33. What does the underlined word “inconceivable” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Unnecessary. B. Unimaginable. C. Usual. D. Terrible. 34. What is it about American culture that worries the author? A. It may become divided. B. It may have fewer lovers. C. It may lack quality shows. D. It may become out of date. 35. Why did Alice’s family make a monthly family movie night? A. To explore excellent movies. B. To develop a good habit. C. To strengthen family bonds. D. To develop their interest in movies. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
