55-year-old Wang Jibing earns a living as a delivery person in Jiangsu Province. He started writing poems online in several poetry forums in the 2000s, and later expanded to different social media platforms. He also came under the spotlight as his name was on the 2023 list of new members of the Chinese Writers Association, igniting(點燃) praise and discussions among Chinese civilians especially netizens.
Dropping out of secondary school, Wang tried various jobs to make a living, such as a construction worker and working on sand mining boats, as well as a garbage collector. Now as a husband and father of three children, the financial burden on his shoulder has become heavier and his work schedule has gotten even busier. Yet it has never stopped him from reading and writing routinely. His passion for poetry has driven him to write over 5,000 poems.
His poem titled “People in a Hurry” gathered more than 13 million views within a week. Wang gained inspiration for the poem from an unpleasant food delivery experience in 2019. Because the customer made a mistake with the address, he had to rush several times to get the food delivered on time. It led to delays in other orders, as well as punishments and a decrease in his earnings for the delivery. The government later took action to tackle this type of situation, demanding that delivery firms better protect delivery persons' rights.
The subjects of Wang's poems cover a wide range, including his memories of his family and hometown, and his observations of society and life while working as a laborer in different cities. During an interview with the media, Wang noted that delivering food allows him to interact with more people and experience more things. The job has also sparked deeper comprehension and sympathy for others. Writing poetry helps him feel comfortable and find peace of mind.

C.Ordinary people's idea can be artfully expressed.

Uncertainty pops up frequently in conversations. The pandemic, and the growing climate disasters heighten our awareness of our inability to control many current challenges. No wonder we are invaded by anxiety and isolation. We know there are stress-reduction techniques like yoga. Another much-overlooked one that restores a sense of well-being is poetry.
Poetry reconnects us with the beauty of the world, while also naming its difficulties. Rather than dismissing hardships, poetry reminds us that others have also lost a loved one, experienced disappointments—have suffered as we now suffer. Poetry allows us to identify our personal confusions, breaks our feeling of isolation, and confirms our sense of belonging. Poetry leads us toward wisdom and acceptance.
Science agrees. Studies show that poetry is good for our health. A study from 2013 in the Philippines showed that guided poetry writing sessions significantly lessened depression in a group of mistreated adolescents. Written eight hundred years ago, the poem The Guest House invites us to view life's experiences and the feelings that arise from them as temporary visitors in the “guest house” of self. With patience and compassion, the author Jalal al-Din al-Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth.
Think of poetry as an entrance to a timeless place where we find comfort, companionship, connection, wisdom, and healing. Poetry names the disconnects as well, where we have gone blind to threats and personal sorrows that threaten to overwhelm us. With its precision of language, and its naming of experience, poetry, in a small space, usually one page, has a powerful effect. Entering a poem, readers can sense painful experiences are reframed and can be given a new understanding by a poem. That's because poetry reflects a rich mix of the sweetness and bitterness in life. It refreshes our minds and offers invented landscapes of imagery. For your own peace of mind, I encourage you to take up a friendship with poetry.
5.What does the underlined word “dismissing” probably mean
A.Reflecting on.　　　B.Leaving behind.　　　
C.Getting through.　　　D.Suffering from.
6.What does al-Rumi suggest readers do in The Guest House
A.View ourselves as temporary guests.　　　
B.Take an active part in experiencing hardships.
C.Ignore negative feelings to avoid sadness.　　　
D.Embrace the downside with an optimistic attitude.
7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Poems make readers turn a blind eye to threats and sorrows.
B.Poems can only have either sweet themes or bitter themes.
C.Poems possess overwhelming power despite limited lines.
D.Poems reshape painful experiences and restrict our minds.
8.What is the best title for the text
A.Techniques help reduce stress　　　
B.Poetry facilitates friendship
C.Hardships benefit our growth　　　
D.Poetry promotes our sense of well-being

Ⅰ.1.various　考查形容詞。設空處修飾其后的名詞reasons,應用形容詞。故填various。

6.easily　考查副詞。設空處修飾其后的動詞write,應用副詞。故填easily。

本空易受漢語思維的影響,錯填consisted。A consist of B=A be made up of B,意為“A由B組成”。
8.but　考查連詞。根據語境可知,設空處前后內容之間構成轉折關系,應用表示轉折的連詞。故填but。
9.has been translated　考查動詞的時態、語態和主謂一致。由時間狀語in the past decades可知應用現在完成時;A lot of Tang poetry與translate之間為被動關系,且poetry是不可數名詞。故填has been translated。

2.composers　考查名詞。句意:“Echoes of Ancient Tang Poems”這場1.5小時長的音樂會吸引了兩千多名觀眾,通過年輕的國際作曲家對古詩的重新詮釋,音樂會使唐朝變得鮮活起來。設空處作介詞by的賓語,應用名詞;根據語境可知,此處表示多個作曲家,應用名詞復數。故填composers。
3.The　考查冠詞。句意:這場音樂會由Suzhou國際青年歌唱家藝術節和費城交響樂團聯合推出,也是為了紀念該樂團在1973年的歷史性的中國巡演50周年。上文已經提到“A concert”,此處表示特指,應用定冠詞。故填The。
4.who　考查定語從句。句意:中國駐紐約總領事黃屏在演出前發表評論說:“自從費城交響樂團訪問中國以來,它已經成為中國最受歡迎的外國交響樂團之一。費城交響樂團與中國合作伙伴之間的故事表明,人民之間的交流是中美關系發展的強大而持續的驅動力。”分析句子可知,設空處引導非限制性定語從句,先行詞The Chinese Consul General in New York Huang Ping指人,關系詞在從句中作主語,所以應用who引導從句。
5.has become　考查動詞的時態和主謂一致。句意同上題。分析句子可知,設空處在句中作謂語,根據時間狀語since the ensemble's trip to China可知應用現在完成時;主語The Philadelphia Orchestra是單數,助動詞應用has。故填has become。

7.Founded　考查過去分詞。句意:該樂團成立于1900年,是第一個在中國演出的美國管弦樂團。句中已有謂語動詞was,所以設空處應用非謂語動詞;提示詞found與其邏輯主語the orchestra之間是被動關系,應用過去分詞作狀語。故填Founded。
8.frequently　考查副詞。句意:此后,該樂團經常訪問這個亞洲國家,充當兩國文化、教育和民間交流的紐帶。設空處修飾has visited,應用副詞。故填frequently。

◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了江蘇省的一名外賣騎手王計兵從21世紀初開始在不同的網絡平臺寫詩,終于在2023年出現在中國作家協會新會員的名單上,引起了中國網民的贊揚和討論。
1.D　推理判斷題。根據第二段可知,現在作為一個丈夫和三個孩子的父親,他肩上的經濟負擔變得更重了,他的工作日程也變得更忙了。然而,這從未阻止過他的日常閱讀和寫作。他對詩歌的熱愛驅使他寫了五千多首詩。由此可知,他在辛苦工作的同時堅持自己的夢想,即“他平衡了自己的責任和夢想”。故選D。
2.B　推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“His poem titled ‘People in a Hurry’ gathered more than 13 million views within a week. Wang gained inspiration...experience in 2019.”和“The government later took action to tackle... protect delivery persons' rights.”可知,他從2019年一次不愉快的送餐經歷中獲得了寫詩的靈感,該詩反映的送餐員面臨的困境得到了普通百姓和政府的關注。后來政府采取措施解決這類情況,快遞員的權利得到了更好的保護。由此可推斷,普通人的聲音可以被社會聽到。故選B。
3.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“The subjects of Wang's poems cover a wide range, including his memories of his family and hometown, and his observations of society and life while working as a laborer in different cities.”可知,王計兵的詩歌題材廣泛,包括他對家庭和家鄉的回憶,以及他在不同城市打工時對社會和生活的觀察。由此可推斷,許多人讀王計兵的詩是因為他的詩來源于普通人的日常生活。故選C。
4.A　推理判斷題。根據第一段和第二段可知,55歲的王計兵以配送外賣為生,21世紀初,他開始在網上寫詩。他在辛苦工作的同時堅持自己的夢想,筆耕不輟。2023年他成為中國作協的新會員,他的努力得到了認可。他的經歷引發了中國網民的贊揚和討論。因此,王計兵的故事鼓舞人心。故選A。

B
◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了詩歌有治愈的力量,可以讓我們找到安慰、陪伴、聯系、智慧和治愈。
5.B　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞下文“poetry reminds us that others have also lost a loved one, experienced disappointments—have suffered as we now suffer”可知,詩歌提醒我們,其他人也失去了所愛之人,經歷了失望——經受過了我們現在所經受的痛苦。因此,畫線詞的意思是“遺忘”。故選B。
6.D　推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“With patience and compassion, the author Jalal al-Din al-Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth.”可知,作者以耐心和同情心建議我們要認識到,即使是負面情緒也是我們成長的寶貴經歷,具有指導意義。因此,al-Rumi建議要用樂觀的態度擁抱負面的事物。故選D。
7.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“With its precision of language, and its naming of experience, poetry, in a small space, usually one page, has a powerful effect.”可推斷,盡管詩歌的行數有限,但卻充滿巨大的力量。故選C。
易錯歸因
本題易錯選B。最后一段第一句提到,我們可以在詩歌里找到安慰、陪伴、聯系、智慧和治愈。詩歌有甜蜜或痛苦的主題,但這些不是全部的主題。B項中的 “only”一詞過于絕對,犯了主觀臆斷的錯誤。
8.D　主旨大意題。通讀全文,尤其是根據第一段中的“Another much-overlooked one that restores a sense of well-being is poetry.”和最后一段中的“we find comfort, companionship, connection, wisdom, and healing”可知,本文主要講述了詩歌有治愈的力量,可以提升我們的幸福感。所以D項“詩歌提升我們的幸福感”最適合作為文章的標題。故選D。
【高頻詞匯】　1.heighten v.提高;加強　2.restore v.恢復;修復;歸還　3.identify v.發現;認出　4.confirm v.確認;證實　5.lessen v.減少　6.mistreat v.虐待
7.overwhelm v.壓垮;擊敗　8.refresh v.使恢復精力
【熟詞生義】　1.invade v.侵擾;干擾　2.name v.準確陳述　3.blind adj.視而不見的;未察覺的　4.sense v.意識到　5.reflect v.表達(情感)
【差距詞匯】　1.pop v.突然出現　2.companionship n.友誼
長難句
原句　Written eight hundred years ago, the poem The Guest House invites us to view life's experiences and the feelings that arise from them as temporary visitors in the “guest house” of self.
分析　本句為主從復合句。“Written eight hundred years ago”為過去分詞短語作狀語;that引導定語從句,修飾先行詞feelings。
譯文　《客棧》這首詩寫于八百年前,在詩里作者邀請我們把人生的經歷以及由此產生的感受看作自我的“客棧”里的臨時訪客。
