【題目】 One of the important subjects in contemporary poetry is identity—with an open-ended explanation of that word. Poets, young and old, are exploring what identity is, using their own lives as the background.

British poet Phoebe Power, in her first collection of poems, Shrines of Upper Austria, explores a different aspect of identity: a personal understanding of national identity. The collection received the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and was on the final list for the T.S. Eliot Prize.

Power was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne and raised in Cumbria. She has taken part in a number of performance art and video art projects. She received a Northern Writers’ Award in 2014 and an Eric Gregory Award from the Society of Authors in 2012. Now she lives in York in northern England.

Power’s starting point is her grandmother. She came to England from Austria as a new bride married to a British soldier in 1946, the first year after the end of World WarⅡ. Imagine the reactions of her British neighbors and her new British family. Imagine what she had left behind. The grandmother’s experiences influenced Power greatly.

In Shrines of Upper Austria, we walk with the poet to see her grandmother’s life before Britain. We can learn about the small town where she lived, the bodies of water, and buildings that existed when her grandmother lived there. Power also added some prose(散文) to the book, which tells us some stories of her grandmother’s early life. For example, it tells the stories about how her grandmother was found as a baby and given to a farmer when she was two.

The poems in the collection are pieces of a life. We can no more walk in our grandparents’ shoes than they can walk in ours. However, we can study old family photographs. We can see pieces of their lives—where they lived, perhaps; where they played as children; what lakes or rivers they swam in. Like Power, we are left with pieces. These pieces don’t all make sense, but collectively they show a life.

【1】What’s the function of Paragraph 1?

A.To explain what identity is.

B.To inform us the likes of poetry.

C.To make a summary of the text.

D.To introduce what will be discussed next.

【2】What do we know about Power’s collection of poems?

A.It reflects her own life.

B.It explores national identity.

C.It is similar to other collective poems.

D.It fails to be recognized by the public.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A.Power’s birthplace.B.Power’s talents.

C.Power’s basic background.D.Power’s achievements.

【4】What can we find in Shrines of Upper Austria?

A.The early life of Power.

B.The life and culture in Austria.

C.The marriage of Power’s grandmother.

D.The life of Power’s grandmother in Britain.

【5】What’s the purpose of the last Paragraph?

A.To persuade readers to buy Power’s poems.

B.To inform readers of the regrets of grandparents.

C.To show elderly people are a useful source of stories.

D.To show the significance of learning about the past from poems.

It’s been a long time before I left my hometown. I remember it was the beautiful place with an excellent environment, and people there were very kind-hearted. Last weekend, I make a call to a friend living there, but he sent me some pictures of the city by e-mail.

From the photo, I can see that great changes have been taken place there. For example, the streets have become wide, and the buildings higher. Beside, the people are dressed modern clothes. Several modern shopping malls are being built.

My hometown has changed very greatly that I can hardly believe my eyes. I hope my hometown can become better and better in the future.

A landlord in Maine announced he would not be collecting rent from his tenants (租戶) in April due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak.

Nathan Nichols, of South Portland, wrote on Facebook that the tenants 【1】 (live) in the two units he owns are service and hourly workers, who may be out of work in the coming months.

“Because I am 【2】 (fortune) enough to afford it and I have the privilege of being in the owner class, I just let them know I would not be collecting rent 【3】 April,” Nichols wrote. “I ask any other landlords out there to take 【4】 serious look at the situation and consider giving their tenants some rent relief as well.

Nichols’ post has more than 22,000 shares and 【5】 (hundred) of comments praising his 【6】 (decide). In an update post on Facebook, he revealed that it had inspired at least one other landlord to do the same.

He added: “Every so often, however, there is a comment from a landlord who would like 【7】 (help) the tenants, but 【8】 (simple) can’t, or from a tenant who really wishes the landlord would help him, but 【9】 (doubt) whether they will. To these people, I say: I don’t know your situation and I don’t want to judge that a landlord 【10】 is still collecting rent is somehow a bad person.”
