(2024·重庆适应性测试)Robert Frost(1874—1963) was the statesman of American letters in the twentieth century，a rare national poet who was read and respected by both university professors and everyday citizens. In his life，Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes for his works—more than any other poet in American history. His most famous poems include The Road Not Taken, Fire and Ice and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Though he is widely read，Frost is also one of the most misunderstood writers in the United States for the complexity of his poems.
Though born in California，Frost was brought up in New England，where he is inseparably linked. After dropping out of Dartmouth College to seek his literary dream，he remained upset for years，producing collections of works but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile. Finally，Frost left the United States in 1912 to see whether his work might be better received in London. It was，and in 1913 his first full collection was published in Great Britain. Fellow American poet Amy Lowell adored Frost's work and brought it
back to the United States，publicizing it insistently. Soon afterwards Frost's collections became bestsellers，and he became a famous figure.
From then on，Frost was on his way to the lifelong respect and recognition for his achievements in poetry. In 1961，he was invited to read a poem for the presidential inauguration(总统就职典礼) of John F．Kennedy. He recited his poem, The Gift Outright, from memory at the ceremony. This was perhaps his last poetry reading in front of a wide national audience before his death in 1963.More importantly，Frost became the first poet to read a poem at a presidential inauguration.

(2024·太原市模拟)We're often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald's CE Primary School Chester certainly agree.
Nine-year-old Isobel Kelleher from the school's Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note. “Sometimes they can be busy and I don't think they think they can make a difference, but if everyone does a little bit it all adds up，” she tells HuffPost UK. “We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags that are polluting them，” she says. “Fish can eat the plastic and they can die, or we might even eat the fish ourselves.”
Mr. Timms, Isobel's teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly. The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9-and 10-year-old pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.
Mr. Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us. “We sometimes overlook how much we can
really learn from children，” he says. “It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.”
Mr. Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class. “The message that they would like to send to world is simple: stopping this isn't someone else's job, and it won't be OK if we just leave it.”

6．What is the purpose of the school project? A．To help adults to learn more about their kids. B．To remind adults to be friendly to the environment. C．To persuade students to stop using plastic bags. D．To teach students how to write poems creatively.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段尾句“The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9-and 10-year-old pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife”可知，整个“蜂鸟班”由9岁和10岁的学生组成，他们一直忙着写诗
