A
William Butler Yeats，a most famous Irish writer，was born in Dublin on June 13，1865.His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy ter，Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”．In fact，he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters.But he finally settled on literature，particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements.He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favourably at the beginning.He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works，Yeats' poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging.Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms，he brought modern sensibility to them.As his literary life progressed，his poetry grew finer and richer，which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life.Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet，for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.After Yeats' death in 1939，W.H.Auden wrote，among others，the following lines：
Earth，receive an honoured guest：
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel(船) lie.
Emptied of its poetry.

B
WASHINGTON—School lunches have been called many things, but a group of retired military officers are giving them a new label: national security threat.
That's not a reference to the mystery meat served up in the cafeteria line either. The retired officers are saying that school lunches have helped make the nation's young people so fat that fewer of them can meet the military's physical fitness standards, and recruitment will be difficult.
A new report being released on Tuesday says more than 9 million young adults, or
27 per cent of all Americans ages 17 to 24, are too overweight to join the military. Now, the officers are advocating for passage of a wide­ranging nutrition bill that aims to make the nation's school lunches healthier.
The military group acknowledges that other things keep young adults out of the armed services, such as a criminal record or the lack of a high school diploma. But weight problems that have worsened over the past 15 years are now the leading medical reason that recruits are rejected.
Although all branches of the military now meet or exceed recruitment goals, retired Navy Rear Admiral James Barnett Jr., a member of the officers, says the obesity trend could affect that.
“When over a quarter of young adults are too fat to fight, we need to take notice，” Barnett said. He noted that national security in the year 2030 is “absolutely dependent” on reversing child obesity rates.
This isn't the first time the military has gotten involved in the debate over school lunches. During World War Ⅱ， military leaders had the opposite problem, reporting that many recruits were rejected because of stunted growth and inadequate nutrition. After the war, military leaders pushed Congress to establish the national school lunch programme so children would grow up healthier.
Today, the group is urging Congress to eliminate junk food and high­calorie beverages from schools, put more money into the school lunch programme and develop new strategies that help children develop healthier habits.
5. What is the main problem of the lunches in schools according to the military officers?
A．The meat in the lunches is mysterious.
B．The lunches are too expensive.
C．The lunches contain too much fat.
D．There is inadequate nutrition in the lunches.
6. The underlined word “obesity” in Paragraph 5 means “________”.
A．slow in mind
B．state of being fat
C．quick in movement
D．lack of confidence
7. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The lunches in American schools are not very healthy.
B．During World War Ⅱ， many people could not join the army because of overweight. C．According to the author, overweight was the key reason why many recruits were rejected.
D．By now, Congress hasn't eliminated junk food and high­calorie beverages from schools.
8. Which of the following is the best title for the article?
A．School lunches: a national security threat?
B．National security in danger?
C．Retired officers tired of school lunches
D．The recruitment of 2030

课时作业(五)
Ⅰ.A
叶芝是爱尔兰著名诗人、剧作家和散文家，1923年度诺贝尔文学奖得主。

他一生佳作无数，晚年更是佳作频出，备受敬仰。

1．D 细节理解题。

根据文章第一段提示“In fact，he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother wer e painters.”可知，他的家庭有艺术氛围。

2．C 推理判断题。

选项A文章未提及，故排除；选项B、D与文中第三段最后两句内容不符，也排除。

叶芝出生于1865年，再结合文章后半部分中的“…who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.”可推知C项正确。

3．D 推理判断题。

诗歌中说“大地，接纳一位荣耀的客人：威廉·叶芝于此长眠。

安息吧，爱尔兰人的化身，不带走一行未写完的诗文。

”字里行间表达的是对叶芝的“钦佩”，故选D。

4．A 主旨大意题。

文章开门见山地概括了叶芝的成就，下文则比较详细地展开回顾，最后用诗坛名家W.H.Auden对他的高度评价结束全文，所以本文的主题是叶芝的文学成就。

B
本文介绍了美国中学生的午餐问题。

美国退休的军官把美国中学生的午餐当成“国家安全威胁”，因为午餐中含有过多的脂肪，使得中学生的肥胖问题异常严峻，甚至可能会影响到以后的征兵问题。

5．C 推理判断题。

全文都在谈论由于美国学校午餐含有太多的脂肪而导致美国征兵面临很大的威胁。

故答案为C。

6．B 词义猜测题。

根据下段“‘When over a qua rter of young adults are too fat to fight, we need to take notice，’…”可以看出obesity的含义应该是“肥胖”。

7．B 细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段中的“…many recruits were rejected because of stunted growth and inadequate nutrition.”一句可知：在二战期间，征兵难是因为很多青年缺乏营养、发育不良。

8．A 主旨大意题。

纵观全文尤其是文章首段“School lunches…national security threat.”可知选A。

Ⅱ.“人”字是一个需要彼此支撑的结构，一个人是离不开别人的鼓励的，老师也不例外。

一句来自学生的鼓励，会让一个老师感激一辈子。

9．C “我”喜欢一天从早8点开始(get started)，但“我”的学生大部分不喜欢那么早。

10．A 同学们通常迟到并且看起来像没有睡足的样子。

除此之外，他们可都是很聪明的孩子。

otherwise意为“要不然的话；除此之外”，符合语境。

11．D “我”很兴奋地上“我”的历史课，但这些学生却一点儿也不兴奋。

excited 兴奋的。

12．B “我”在黑板(blackboard)上写东西，在教室里走动，“我”讲故事，“我”尽量幽默，但这些都无济于事。

13．B 同学们面无表情(blank looks)，对“我”的种种努力没有一点儿反应。

14．D “我”的种种努力没有丝毫作用，对此“我”感到很失落(frustrated)。

15．A “我”低头看了下手表。

16．C “我”上课上得忘记了时间，当“我”还准备继续的时候低头看了下手表，已经超过下课时间两分钟了。

下课时间是学校定好的，故用scheduled。

17．A 学生们收拾(pick up)课本，赶着上其他的课或去吃早餐。

18．A 由首句“I have a love­hate relationship with 8 o'clock classes.”推测，应该是吃早饭(breakfast)。

19．D “我”站在那里，一边目送他们离开(leave)，一边收拾“我”自己的书、讲义及试卷。

20．B 由后文“…I started across the hall to my nearby office…”可知，“我”进了大厅(hall)。

21．D 为了这堂课“我”使尽了浑身解数，但是看起来并没有什么效果。

for nothing徒劳的。

22．D 由下段“Randy sits about halfway back in the classroom.”推测，兰迪应该是从后门(back door)出来的。

23．B “我”原以为(thought)兰迪是想问……。

24．C “我”原以为兰迪可能是想征求“我”同意(permission)，晚交作业。

25．A 兰迪说：“这是我第一次(first)不想让大学的课结束”。

26．C 兰迪意思是说，老师的历史课很精彩，他想一直听下去，不希望结束(end)。

27．B 听了兰迪的话，“我”明白了，原来“我”的课比想象的要好(better)。
