Question

Sometimes we fall in love with something at once and sometimes it takes long. The same is true with poems. If we were lucky e1., we open a book and find a poem that attracts us at once. But usually we need to spend a little t2. or make a little effort to truly understand a poem. Today I’d like to talk about reading poems in ways that make the experience better.

Reading a poem repeatedly will deepen your understanding of it. Sometimes a poem that seems b3. on first reading becomes interesting with more reading. A poem that feels meaningless becomes deeper and more meaningful. And sometimes you’re just not in the right mood the first time you read a poem, but l4. it touches your heart.

Keep a d5. at hand when you are reading poems. Poets like to use unusual words. Instead of skipping over (跳过) these words or trying to g6. their meanings, look them up.

Read aloud and listen to the poem. Reading aloud will make the poem’s rhythm clear. Besides, a poet’s reading is very helpful b7. we can understand the poem’s meanings from where the poet places emphasis (强调) or pauses (停顿).

After you finish reading a poem, take a few moments to consider w8.it is saying. Sometimes its meanings are better understood t9. repeated reading. Other times they need our careful and deep thought on a poem.

It is h10. to say whether there’s a right or wrong way to read poems, but reading practices will enrich your experience, increase your enjoyment, and deepen your understanding of any poem.

这是一篇说明文，文章介绍诗歌阅读的方法，通过阅读练习能明白诗歌的含义，并加深对诗歌的理解。

1.

句意：如果我们足够幸运，我们打开一本书，发现一首诗立刻吸引了我们。

lucky后面用副词enough，表示 “足够幸运”。故答案为enough。

2.

句意：但是通常我们需要花一点时间或一点努力才能真正地懂得一首诗。

根据“spend a little”可知此处用 不可数名词time表示“花一点时间”，故答案为time。

3.

句意：有时候一首诗第一次读看起来很无聊，多读几遍就变得有趣。

根据“on first reading becomes interesting with more reading”可知此处用interesting的反义词boring表示“无聊的”。故答案为boring。

4.

句意：有时你第一次读一首诗只是情绪不太对，但是后来它会触动你的内心。

根据“the first time”以及首字母提示可知此处用副词later表示“后来”。故答案为later。

5.

句意：当你读诗的时候，随手记日记。

不定冠词a后面用单数名词；此处用动词短语keep a diary表示“记日记”，故答案为diary。

6.

句意：不要跳过这些单词或者试着猜测它们的含义，去查找它们的含义。

此处用try to do。根据“instead of”可知前面部分否定了跳过单词和猜测单词含义的做法，而肯定后者“look them up”。此处用动词原形guess。故答案为guess。

7.

句意：而且，一个诗人的阅读很有帮助因为我们从诗人强调和停顿的地方可以明白诗歌的含义。

后面是讲述的原因，此处用连词because引导原因状语从句。故答案为because。

8.

句意：在你读完一首诗歌之后，花一点时间思考它在说什么。

consider后面是宾语从句；it指的是“a poem”，此处表达“读的这首诗歌在说什么”，宾语从句的引导词用what。故答案为what。

9.

句意：有时候，通过重复阅读，诗歌的含义能更好地被理解。

此处是方式状语，用介词through表示“通过”，故答案为through。

10.

句意：很难说阅读诗歌的方式是对是错，但是阅读练习会丰富你的体验，增加你的乐趣，加深你对诗歌的理解。

此处it是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式“to say whether there’s a right or wrong way to read poems”，此处表示“to say whether there’s a right or wrong way to read poems”，根据首字母提示用形容词hard。故答案为hard。
