He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 100th birthday of Pablo Neruda (1904-1973).

Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.

However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.

In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair’’. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “I need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed in his work.

A. most important person          B. famous person from Picasso

C. freedom fighter in Picasso     D. poem fan

6. Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto took the pen name Pablo Neruda because ________.

7. Which of the following is not the theme of his works?

A. Love.    B. Political struggle.  C. Social reform.   D. Development of South America.

A. the sea gave Neruda vast writing inspiration  B. the beautiful scenery along the Chile coast

C. Neruda’s poems were widely read overseas  D. Neruda loved to write his poems near the sea

At the top of a three-storey brick house Sue and Johnsy had their studio. In November a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia(肺炎), touched one here and there with its icy fingers. Johnsy was struck down, and she lay, hardly moving, on her bed looking through the window at the blank side of the next brick house.

One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway(走廊).

“She has one chance in ten,” he said, “And that chance is for her to want to live. She has made up her mind that she’s not going to get well. I will do all that I can. But whenever my patient begins to count the carriages in her funeral procession(隊(duì)列), I subtract 50 percent from her chance to live.”

After the doctor had gone, Sue went into the workroom and cried. Then she came into Johnsy’s room with her drawing board, whistling.

Johnsy lay hardly moving with her face toward the window. Sue stopped whistling, thinking she was asleep.

She arranged her board and began a drawing. As Sue was sketching, she heard a low sound. She went quickly to the bedside.

Johnsy’s eyes were open wide. She was looking out the window and counting backward.

“Twelve,” she said, and a little later “eleven”; and then “ten”, and “nine”; and then “eight” and “seven”, almost together.

Sue looked out the window. What was there to count? There was only the blank side of the brick house twenty feet away. An old ivy vine(常春藤) climbed halfway up the brick wall. Its branches clung(緊緊纏著), almost bare, to the bricks.

“What is it, dear?” asked Sue.

“Six,” said Johnsy, in almost a whisper. “They’re falling faster now. Three days ago there were almost a hundred. There goes another one. There are only five left now”.

 “Five what, dear? Tell me.”

 “Leaves. On the ivy vine. When the last one falls, I must go, too. Didn’t the doctor tell you?”

 “Oh, I never heard of such nonsense,” said Sue. “What have old ivy vine leaves to do with your getting well? Why, the doctor told me this morning that your chances for getting well real soon were ten to one! Try to take some soup now.”

 “There goes another. No, I don’t want any soup. I want to see the last one fall before it gets dark. Then I’ll go , too.”

 “Johnsy, dear,” said Sue, bending over her, “will you promise me to keep your eyes closed, and not look out the window until I’m done working? I need the light or I would draw the shade down.”

“Tell me as soon as you have finished,” said Johnsy, closing her eyes, “because I want to see the last one fall. I’m tired of waiting. I want to turn loose my hold on everything and go sailing down, down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves.”

1.By saying “Pneumonia touched one here and there” (in the first paragraph), the author means that _________.

A.some people were affected by the illnesses of others

B.pneumonia caused damage to the ivy vine

C.two people became ill

D.many people came down with the illness

2. How did Johnsy feel about the situation during the passage?

A. confident      B. hopeless        C. tired           D. curious

3.We can learn from the passage that _____________.

A.Sue came into the room whistling perhaps because she thought Johnsy might like the music.

B.Johnsy’s life was compared to the carriages in a funeral procession

C.Sue told a lie to Johnsy about the doctor’s words

D.Johnsy wanted to know about the falling ivy leaves to meet her own curiosity

4.The underlined word “subtract” in the third paragraph probably means “________”.

A. reduce      B. hope        C. add          D. doubt

5.The passage is probably taken out of ______________.

A. a newspaper    B. a novel

C. a medical report     D. a girl’s diary

Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The Boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.

“Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’ m sorry, —but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”

“What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”

“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman（田徑運(yùn)動(dòng)員） and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠軍） there.”

The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway （恍惚的） look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”

Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read: I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛腳的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big—that he won’t even know about.

Your son,   Herbie

1.The underlined word “drop” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ________.

3.From the text we know that Herbie_______.

A. was a college student            B. didn’t live to grow up

C. made friends with many boys      D. died from a car accident

4.Watson was given a second chance because_______.

D. Mr Smith wanted to realize his son’s dream
