Lippincott. At this

11、point, it was more like a string of stories than the novel that Lee wanted to write. Under Hohoffs guidance, two and a half years of rewriting followed.

16、 at all?One explanation of poetry I like is that poetry communicates the essence (本质) or the soul of something, instead of just describing it. For example, imagine describing a playground swing to someone: what it looks like and how it feels to swing backwards and forwards. The person youre talking

17、to would probably understand, but would he or she really get a sense of the excitement and freedom a child feels on a swing?Now, take a moment to read Robert Louis Stevensons short poem The Swing.How do you like to go up in a swing.Up in the air so blue?Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a

19、on could: the joy, the wonder, and the fun a child feels when he or she swings high up into the air.Another way to explain it is to say that a poet uses language techniques to create visual images that come alive in the mind of readers or listeners. As the images come alive, the readers or listeners

20、 become part of the experience being described: they are there, at least in their imagination. And because they are there, even for a very short time, their emotions are also engaged.

26、o” when they saw a blue star on a projection screen to remembering a long list of numbers and then repeating them in reverse order. They did these tasks once while sitting in a quiet room and again while on the bike.It turns out that cyclists rode 25 percent faster when they were distracted by some

29、 the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?AMultitasking is popular with a lot of people.BMultitasking does not help people save time at all.CMultitasking often leads to mistakes that require fixing.DMultitasking doesnt necessarily mean poorer performance.13During the experiment, participants _Adid cog

30、nitive tasks of different difficulty levelsBrepeated more numbers when cycling fasterCcycled more slowly when repeating numbersDdid the tasks several times14Which of the following is TRUE according to the study?ACycling helps ones brain function better.BCycling doesnt lead to poorer brain function.C

31、One cannot cycle fast when he/she is distracted.DThe harder one thinks, the faster he/she cycles.15What is the main idea of the text?AResearchers find something surprising.BMultitasking can help us work out better.CCognitive jobs benefit us in various ways.DPeople like cycling and thinking at one time.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do your friends put on polite smiles when they open gifts from you?
