2．One part of the oath（誓言）taken by physicians requires us to "remember that there is art to medicine，and that warmth，sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug." When I，along with my medical school class，recited that oath at my white coat ceremony a year ago，I admit that I was more focused on the biomedical aspects than the "art".
Actually，medical professionals can get too easily caught up in treating to remember there is still space for healing.As doctors learn to communicate with patients beyond the restricted language of physical indicators，drug protocols and surgical interventions that may go against healing，they are reaching for new tools — poetry.
One clinical trial studied the effect of music or poetry on the pain，depression，and hope scores of 65 adult patients under cancer treatment.They found that both types of art therapy（療法）produced similar improvements in pain and depression scores.Only poetry，however，increased hope scores.Researchers assumed that poetry can break the so-called law of silence，according to which talking about one's perception of illness is taboo.After listening to poetry，one participant said， "I feel calmer when I hear those words.They show me that I'm not alone."
Insights like these are already making their way into the clinic.Sarah Friebert runs a care center where children are visited by a writer who helps them create poems and stories for publication.Eric Elshtain uses poetry on the wards to teach children the power of self-expression.He's found that many of his patients write haikus about things like sports or their favorite stuffed animal，rather than their experience in a hospital bedPoetry，as he said，is a way to both accept the hospital encounter and escape from it.
While a poem a day won't cure，it might help relieve.I've decided that I'll learn how to meet my patients beyond the chart documents；that Fil encourage them to write their own stories；that I will heal as well as treat.In other words，I'll honor each and every word in the oath I took last year.

3．This paragraph is not ordinary.Look at it.At first，it won't look too odd.Just a normal paragraph — you may think.But look at it again and you might find it a bit unusual.Can you spot it？Is anything...missing？
What you've just read is a lipogram - a text without a particular letter.It is the hardest kind as it doesn't contain the letter E - the most common letter in the English language.Try writing one yourself and you'll imagine the task faced by the French writer Georges Perec，when a friend challenged him to write a whole novel without using E - a letter which is even more common in French.
Perec was a frighteningly clever writer，a lover of word games and puzzles and also a master of the Chinese board game Go.As well as writing crossword puzzles for Paris magazines，he had already written a 5，000-word palindrome，a text that reads the same forwards and backwards，like the well-known "A man，a plan，a canal - Panama." But his friends thought this task would be beyond him.
Perec took up the challenge.He was unable to use more than 70% of the French words，including those most commonly used.Surprisingly，he discovered this "impossible" rule unlocked his imagination.He later claimed he wrote this novel faster than any of his other books.He was forced to think and fight for every sentence.He had no choice but to be original.
The result was La Disparition，a detective story about the mysterious disappearance of a character named A．Vowl.The only Es were the four in his name on the cover.Despite the dozens of clues about the fantastically difficult rule，many original reviewers failed to spot what was staring them in the faces — the missing letter.Embarrassing for the critics，but hilarious for the writer and his friends.
Fortunately，the game Perec was playing did not destroy the book itself.Every sentence seems twisted slightly out of shape，and the resulting style is unique.
（1）Why does the writer start with a lipogram？
A．To prove Perec's work is hard.
B．To introduce Perec's tough task.
C．To demonstrate what a lipogram is.
D．To challenge readers to write one.
（2）Which of the following is NOT a palindrome？
A．Madam.
B．Nurses ran.
C．No X in Nixon.
D．No lemons，no melon.
（3）What did Perec think of the challenge he took up？
A．It forced him to write faster.
B．It enriched his writing styles.
C．No writer but he could make it.
D．It freed his creativity in writing.
（4）What does the underline word "hilarious" mean in paragraph 5？
A．Confusing.
B．Surprising.
C．Very lucky.
D．Extremely funny.組卷：4引用：3難度：0.3

A Teacher-Student Basketball Friendly__________組卷：4引用：2難度：0.5 -
9．Gifts for the poor Mrs.Susan was mean and bad-tempered.There was no other way to describe her.Just the other day I heard her telling the headmaster that children took too much time in arts.She even said that most of us didn't understand what we were doing.I left the office feeling very angry.
My anger didn't last，however.It was December and Christmas was approaching.Excitement filled me right up to the top of my head.I smiled and laughed，singing "Jingle Bells" as we rode home from school.
After dinner，Mom and Dad called me into the family room.I knew what we were going to discuss.Every year for as long as I could remember，we had chosen a family who needed some extra help at Christmastime，and we had taken gifts and food to their house.It was one of our family's favorite traditions.
Dad said， "It's time we decide which family to help this year.Do you have a suggestion？" Some years it had been really easy to decide，but this year I couldn't think of anyone.Dad looked at Mom. "Maybe Mom has a suggestion.Sometimes she notices things the rest of us miss." Mom smiled. "I do know of someone who needs our help.I think we should help Mrs.Susan."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing! "But，Mom，" I protested， "she seems to have plenty of money and she dresses in nice clothes.Besides，she's really bad-tempered.She doesn't even like kids.She might even kick our gifts off her porch （門廊）.I think we should choose someone else."
"I know Mrs.Susan has enough money，" Mom said. "I know she isn't very pleasant to be around.But she was divorced before she moved here.She has three children who have their own children and never come to see her.She is very lonely and unhappy.You see，she never celebrates Christmas.April，you weren't quite right when you said she wasn't poor."
"You mean she's poor in love？" I asked. "Yes.Sometimes it's much more painful to be poor in love than it is to be poor in money？" I was quiet for minutes.Then Dad said， "Let's take a vote." Dad' and Mom's hands went up.Looking at them，I unwillingly raised mine.
注意：（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右； （2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Mom said besides buying her a gift，we should make something by hand.
With the box in hand，I could feel my heart pounding when ringing Susan's doorbell.
