National Poetry Month is to bring about awareness and appreciation of poetry. Some of the goals include reading poems, writing poems and helping teachers bring poetry into the classroom. Here are some activities in National Poetry Month.
Recite Poetry to a Pet
We've come up with some fun exercises to get you into the spirit of creative expression. You can recite poetry to a pet by changing
the sound or speaking loudly and clearly enough to communicate without explanations. Doing this can not only help strengthen public
speaking ability but also deepen your understanding of a paticular piece.
Become a Romantic
Do you ever notice how beautiful the nature is There are so many wonderful poems which have been inspired by the seasons,celebrating the beauty of a snowflake or the spring sunshine awakening the plants and animals. Why not become a poet yourself and share the beauty you saw in the nature with others
Act out a Poem
Many poets find it hard to share their words because what they write about are personal subjects. But not all poetry is about emotions. Poetry is a living force that can be very powerful when it is shown both as a performance and as words on social media.
Poetry by Heart
We take pleasure in reading or hearing something that reflects what is in our minds or in our hearts. We experience relief if it expresses feelings we’ve kept bottled up. Similarly. reciting a poem to yourself or to someone else can be very rewarding. Sometimes it's easier to say how we feel with someone else's words than our own, especially if they re put together beautifully.
1. The main purpose of the National Poetry Month is to help people.
A. appreciate the beauty of old poetry.
B. combine poetry with their daily life.
C. learn more about poetry and enjoy it.

二、用单词的适当形式完成句子
11．dressed
【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意：参加婚礼的宾客有数百人，都穿着正式的、五颜六色的衣服。分析句子结构可知，逗号后面是独立主格形式。“名词/主格代词+过去分词”这种独立主格形式，表示被动和已完成，根据句意及短语be dressed up可知，此处需填入derss的过去分词形式dressed。故填dressed。
12．congratulations
【详解】考查名词。句意：我要对你在考试中取得的优异成绩表示衷心的祝贺。分析句意再根据空格前的形容词sincere可知，此处应该用提示词的名词的名词形式congratulation，又因为在英语中表示“祝贺”时通常同其复数形式，故答案为congratulations。
13．After
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：人们对这些慈善活动褒贬不一。毕竟，他们是在向普通人募集资金。根据句意和空格后的all可知，该题是考查固定短语after all（毕竟）。故填After。
14．dressed
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：第二天早上，她穿着一件羊毛大衣，一只手拿着手提包，另一只手拿着一把长伞回到了商店。分析句子可知，句中有谓语动词“returned”，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“be dressed in…”意为“穿着……”，句子主语“She”和“dress”为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用“dress”的过去分词“dressed”，作状语。故填dressed。
15．ceremonies
【详解】考查名词复数。句意：但节气文化在今天仍然有用，它通过与每个节气相对应的特殊食物、文化仪式、园艺，甚至健康生活技巧来指导人们的生活。ceremony为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且没有冠词限定，需用名词复数形式。故填ceremonies。
