Ⅴ.阅读理解
Whitman was one of the most original and inspiring American poets, well known for his art and his role as a poet. He devoted himself to poetry praising the native American experience. As America's first epic poem, Leaves of Grass ran nine editions with more than 400 poems all written in free forms, that is, poetry without a fixed beat or regular rhyme scheme. The tide implies rebirth, renewal, or green life. As Whitman once said, “Leaves of Grass was the outcropping of my own emotional and other personal nature — an attempt, from first to last, to put a person, a human being freely, fully and truly on record.”
For Whitman, science, democracy (民主) and spirituality (灵性) were the three things that underlay the structure of modern poetry. Whitman tried to combine the world of science, the democracy and the spiritual feeling of life into one, into his poetry. For Whitman, the poetic form should be free. Therefore, he threw aside the traditional form and had his own form. Both the form and content of his poems are revolutionary. With its frequent use of oral language and everyday events, his poem represented a turning point in the history of American poetry — poetry fashioned out of specially American experience in a clearly American idiom. Whitman's unique poetic creation has developed a very significant tradition in American poetry.
In his poems, he celebrated new America rather than regretted it. He was against slavery, idolized (崇拜的) Lincoln, supported strikes, and combined the ideal of the common people and that of the_ragged_individual.
1.Which is RIGHT?
A.Whitman called on others to write poems like him.
B. Whitman praised the native rich Americans.
C. Whitman wrote poems to tell about the native American experience.
D. Whitman wanted to become a great poet.
答案与解析 C 从“He devoted ...”一句看出,他致力于赞扬当地的人们。A项和D项文中没有提到,B项所述片面。
2.________ in Whitman's poems.
A.There are fixed beat and regular rhyme scheme
B. We could see rebirth, renewal or green life
C. We could only see science, wars and damage
D. There are not emotional nature
答案与解析 B 从“The tide implies rebirth, renewal, or green life.”一句看出他的诗布满激情。A项应当用否定句。D项应用确定形式。
3.Whitman invented his own poem form ________.
A.by giving off the traditional form
B. without colloquial language
C. by telling English history
D. against poetic creation
答案与解析 A 从“Therefore he threw aside the traditional form ...”一句看出Whitman抛弃传统的诗歌形式,用通俗的语言,叙述每日新闻,含有制造性。
4.What does the words “the ragged individual” mean?
A.The rich people. B. The poor people.
C. The poem writers. D. The American lawyers.
答案与解析 B 词义猜想题。Whitman的诗against slavery, supported strikes(反对奴隶制度,支持罢工),把一般人和穷人的民办法识融合在一起,这样的理解符合本文的主题大意,即他的诗歌不拘泥于传统,形成自己的风格,主要叙述老百姓的故事, ragged“衣衫破烂的”。因此,选B项。
