选修六 Unit 2 课下语篇提能练.阅读理解AI Found You by Lisa JewellLisa Jewell is one of Britains bestselling writers and reading her new novel, its not hard to see why. I Found You is a highclass combination of popular womens fiction and interesting psychological thriller.In the classic manner, the central character Alice is slightly disorganized but goodhearted and in this case living on the Yorkshire coast with her three children. By the third page, the plot is already under way, when she spots a handsome fortysomething man sitting on the beach. His name is . well, he doesnt know, because hes suffering from severe amnesia (健忘症) that also means he doesnt know why hes there or where he has come from. Meanwhile in Surrey, a wife is reporting the disappearance of her handsome fortysomething husband to the police.At this stage, people who havent read Jewell before may think they realise whats going on. In fact, the truth uncovered with enormous teasing skill is packed with more twists (转折), and real sadness, than anybody could possibly expect. Admittedly, the book does have moments of contrivance (矫揉造作) but theyre exceptionally wellcontrived.The Allegations by Mark LawsonIn 2014, Lawson left BBC Radio 4s arts programme Front Row amid accusations of bullying. Now, Tom Pimm, one of the main characters here, is a history profess or accused of the same thing even though all he has done is stand up for intellectual rigour (缜密) and common sense.Worse, his friend and colleague Ned Marriott is arrested for “historic” violence despite not being guilty either. But what both men come to understand is that at a time when offencetaking has become a national pastime and all accusers are described as “victims”， innocence is largely irrelevant.The result is a book that, although highly readable, is essentially a cry of middleaged male anger at what Ned calls “the bonfire of the sanities (明智)” in the age of critical social media. And for my money, Lawson hits most of his targets bangon. 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了国外的两部文学作品。1What do we know about Alice in I Found You?AShe has a weak memory.BShe suffers from a serious disease.CShe is a wellmeaning single mom.DShe is looking for her missing husband.解析：选C推理判断题。由I Found You by Lisa Jewell介绍内容第二段中的“Alice is slightly disorganized but goodhearted . living . with her three children”可知，Alice是一位好心的单亲妈妈。2How does the author find Lisa Jewells writing?AUncreative.BMasterful.CIncomprehensible.DAnalytical.解析：选B观点态度题。由I Found You by Lisa Jewell介绍内容第三段的描述可知，作者认为Lisa Jewell拥有娴熟、巧妙的写作技巧。3What can we infer about The Allegations?AIt tells the story of BBC Radio 4.BIts Mark Lawsons autobiography.CIt criticizes the social media indirectly.DIts inspired by the writers own experience.解析：选D推理判断题。由The Allegations by Mark Lawson介绍内容第一段中的“In 2014, Lawson left BBC Radio 4s arts programme . accused of the same thing”可推断，这部作品的灵感来自于作者的亲身经历。BNo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”， until it has been read aloud by someone, a teacher or a student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, eventually, the most concrete “interpretation (解释)” of it, suggesting tone, rhymes, 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 cannot replace the student and the teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it and “exchanging of views”， if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry and take it easy when we are reading a poem. Poetry is “a criticism of life”， and “a heightening (提升) of life”. It is “a most appropriate approach to the truth of feeling”， and it “can transform your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature (文学) more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must try out poetryteaching. Those who dont like it should not be forced to convey that negative feeling to 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.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。诗歌是一种艺术形式，那么怎样去鉴赏和学习诗歌呢？通读本文之后，你可能会有所收获。4To have a better understanding of a poem, one should _.Adiscuss it with othersBanalyze it by oneselfCcopy it down in a notebookDpractise reading it aloud解析：选D细节理解题。根据文章第一段的内容特别是第一句“No poem should ever be discussed or ana
