Ⅳ.阅读理解
Walt Whitman was born in eighteen nineteen in New York City. During his long life, he watched America grow from a young nation to the strongest industrial power in the world. Whitman was influenced by events around him. But his poetry speaks of the inner self. He celebrated great people like President Abraham Lincoln. He also celebrated common people.
As a young man, Whitman worked as a school teacher, a printer and a newspaper reporter. He was thirtysix years old when his first book of poetry was published. He called it Leaves of Grass. It has only twelve poems. The poems are written in free verse. The lines do not follow any set from. Some lines are short and some are long. The words at the end of each line do not have a similar sound. They do not rhyme.
One of America's greatest thinkers and writers immediately recognized the importance of Leaves of Grass. Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitman's work. But most other poets and writers said nothing or_denounced_it.
The American Civil War began in eighteen sixtyone. During the war, Whitman worked without pay at army hospitals. He helped care for the wounded and dying soldiers. He sat beside these men for hours. He bought them food and wrote letters for them. After the Civil War, Whitman worked for government agencies. He watched the United States try to heal itself and increase democracy. To Walt Whitman, democracy was more than a political system or idea. It was the natural form of government for free people. Whitman believed democracy was meant to honor and weak during the last few years of his life. He died in eighteen ninetytwo.
1．Walt Whitman expressed his feelings by ________.
A．singing songs
B．celebrating great people
C．writing poems
D．praising common people
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But his poetry speaks of the inner self.”及上下文语境可知，惠特曼通过写诗抒发自己的感情。
2．Leaves of Grass was published in ________.
A．1855 B．1819
C．1861 D．1873
答案：A 年代计算题。根据第二段中诗集出版时他的年龄及第一段中他出生的时间可算出《草叶集》出版于1855年，A项为正确答案。
3．The underlined sentence “But most other poets and writers said nothing or denounced it.”(in Paragraph 3) is most likely to tell us that ________.
A．many great writers liked Whitman's poems very much
B．a lot of people agreed with Emerson
C．many poets and writers thought ill of Whitman's poems
D．few poets and writers didn't like talking to Whitman
答案：C 句意理解题。根据第三段中的“Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitman's work.”及画线部分中的“But”可以推知，该句的意思是许多人对他的诗歌并不看好或评价不好。
4．It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that Whitman was ________.
A．a brave soldier B．a man of devotion
C．an honest official D．a great politician
答案：B 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Whitman worked without pay at army hospitals.”及下文对惠特曼关心和照顾受伤战士的描述可以推知，他是一个乐于奉献的人。
