题目

 阅读理解 In the middle of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, Amanda Barrows carefully placed a wooden nightstand(床头柜) on the ground. She attached a sign reading, "Take a poem, leave a poem. " "It's completely unexpected," said Barrows, a park ranger (管理员) by day and a poet by night. "I'm really taken aback by the outpouring of support. " Barrows has always considered herself a writer, so she enrolled in a class called Poetry for the People. The final project of the class is to find a way to "bring poetry into the community". At first, Barrows struggled to land on an idea. Eventually, she realized that she could fuse her love for parks and her love for poetry. A coworker gave Barrows a weathered nightstand. She thought it would be the perfect tool for her project.  She filled the drawer at the top with fresh paper and pens and added a box at the bottom for poems. To get the ball rolling, she asked her close friends to add their favorite poems to the drawer for people to take away.  The poetry nightstand reminded her of Little Free Libraries. That project features bookstands stationed across the city. People can leave and take books from little libraries. She only had a single nightstand to work with, so Barrows decided that she would leave it in a park for four days before moving it to a new location. San Francisco's Recreation and Park Department manages about 220 parks, and Barrow's goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all of them. Since the project started, people have added a wide range of writing. Barrows shares most of the submissions on social media. Some are clearly composed by kids, while others are more refined. People have also written poems in various languages. "I love to see different people's handwriting and share their personal words," Barrows said. The instructors of Poetry for the People said the nightstand fulfilled the main purpose of the project. Other students in the class wrote poetry on sidewalks with chalk. Another gave out poems disguised as parking tickets. Tanea Lunsford Lynx, a guest instructor for the class, says the project is "an invitation to slow down". She believes that the old-fashioned nightstand stands out in a city that is filled with new technology. Barrows says she intends to "keep this going indefinitely," and she hopes others will build off the project and contribute their own creativity. "It really is a community project," Barrows said. "It belongs to all of us. " （1） Why did Barrows put the nightstand in the park? A . To share poetry submissions. B . To follow Little Free Libraries. C . To advertise a poetry class. D . To complete a required task. （2） What does the underlined word "fuse" in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A . Combine. B . Reveal. C . Strengthen. D . Clarify. （3） What do we know about Barrow's project? A . It has involved 220 parks. B . It is popular on social media. C . It improves people's handwriting. D . It makes poetry reach more people. 答案： D A D
