30、 It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simple metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich image, a metaphor can communicate so much about a particular image that poets use them more than any other type of fig

31、urative language(修辞 ). The reason for this is that poets compose their poetry to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to be may or may not be love we see it. Therefore, the poets job is to enable us to experience it, to feel it the

32、same way as the poet does. Lets analyze this remarkably unsophisticated metaphor concerning love and the rose to see what it offers. Because the poet uses a comparison with a rose, first we must examine the characteristics of that flower. A rose is spectacular in its beauty; its petals(花瓣 ) are nice

33、ly soft, and its smell is pleasing. Its possible to say that a rose is actually a feast to the senses of sight, touch, and smell. The roses appearance seems to border on(近似于 )perfection, each petal seemingly symmetrical(对称的 ) in form. Isnt this the way ones love should be A loved one should be a del

34、ight to ones senses and seem perfect. However, there is another dimension added to the comparison by using a rose. Roses have thorns(刺 ). The poet wants to convey the idea that roses can be tricky(机警的 ). So can love, the metaphor tells us. When one reaches out with absolute trust to touch the object

35、 of his or her affection, ouch, a thorn can cause great harm! “Be careful,” the metaphor warns: Love is a feast to the senses, but it can overwhelm us, and it can also hurt us and cause acute suffering. This is the poets perception of love-a warning. What is the point Just this: It took almost 14 se

36、ntences to clarify what a simple metaphor communicates in only four words! That is the artistry and the joy of the simple metaphor. 【小题 1】 According to the passage, what is a metaphor A A comparison between two different objects with similar features. B A contrast between two different things to cre

37、ate a vivid image. C A description of two similar objects in a poetic way. D A literary device specially employed in poetry writing. 【小题 2】 The main idea of this passage is that . A rose is a good image in poetry B love is sweet and pleasing C metaphor is ambiguous D metaphor is great poetic device

38、【小题 3】 It can be inferred from the passage that a metaphor is . A difficult to understand B rich in meaning C not precise enough D like a flower 【小题 4】 As is meant by the author, thorns of a rose_. A protect the rose from harm B symbolize reduced love C add a new element to the image of love D repre

39、sent objects of ones affection 【小题 5】 The meaning of the love-isa-rose metaphor is that_- A love is a true joy B true love comes once in a lifetime C love does not last long D love is both good and bad experiences 答案：【小题 1】 A【小题 1】 D【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 C【小题 1】 D The Mystery of the Flashing Fireflies Duri

40、ng summer nights fireflies flash in the darkness. They look like bright spots of light dancing on the breeze. Catching them in a jar for a few minutes can be fun. Fireflies are not really flies, though. They are winged beetles. Scientists are using these special beetles to learn more about our world

41、. The reason a firefly flashed its light is to find a mate. There are around two thousand species, or kinds, of fireflies. Fireflies mate only with their own species. Each kind of firefly has its own flash pattern. It is important that fireflies recognize this pattern. That way they can find bugs of

42、 their own kind. The male firefly flies around in the sky while the female firefly stays close to the ground. For many years, how a firefly flashes its light was a mystery. Scientists now know that a fireflys light is a cold light. It gives off all of its power as light. It does not produce heat. A

43、normal light bulb gives off only ten percent of its power as light. The rest of the power is wasted as heat. That is why a light bulb that has been on for a while is very hot. The fireflys light does not feel hot like a light bulb. Scientists have also learned that fireflies have a small built-in la

44、ntern. This special lantern is located inside a fireflys body. To create light, a gas flows through tiny tubes. This causes the firefly to light up. A firefly can also turn its light on and off quickly. This puzzled scientists. They learned that short bursts of this gas make the firefly glow. When t

45、he gas fades, the light goes out. This process happens very quickly. Scientists know that what they learn from fireflies will be important. Medical studies using fireflies are helping scientists fight illnesses in human beings. They have made new medicines from the chemicals used by fireflies to mak

46、e light. Fireflies have also helped with new discoveries. New flashlights and flares have been made based on fireflies. These new flashlights and flares produce a cold light like a firefly. This way all the power makes the light shine. This little bug may be a pleasure to watch, but it is also an im

47、portant part of our lives. 【小题 1】 Why did the author most likely include Paragraph 4 A To explain how fireflies make light. B To describe different kinds of fireflies. C To show how much power fireflies use. D To describe why fireflies make light. 【小题 2】 Which of these is the best choice for a headi

48、ng for Paragraph 5 A The Cool Light of Fireflies B Watching Fireflies Flash C Understanding the Patterns D Learning from Fireflies 【小题 3】 According to the passage, a fireflys light is different from a light bulbs light because the fireflys light _. A shines brighter B does not fade C lasts longer D is not hot 【小题 4】 A reader asks this question about the passage: “ How many different kinds of fireflies are there ” Which paragraph from the passage answer
