(2011·重庆)
William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's death in 1939, W．H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines：
Earth，receive an honoured guest：
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry.
本文介绍了爱尔兰著名作家威廉·巴特勒叶枝，他在19世纪90年代成立了爱尔兰国家剧院，他以诗体戏剧及诗歌闻名，于1923年获得了诺贝尔奖。
1．Which of the following can describe Yeats's family?
A．It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter.
B．It was shocked by Yeats's choice.
C．It was a typically wealthy family.
D．It had an artistic atmosphere.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据短文第一段倒数第二句话可知：他从家人那儿继承了很好的艺术鉴赏能力，他的父亲和哥哥都是画家，证明他是在一个充满艺术氛围的家庭中长大。
2．According to the passage，what do we know about Yeats's life?
A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater.
B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据短文第二段第二句话“He set himself...theatre in the late 1890s.”可知A项不对。根据第三段第三句话“Though Yeats...to them”可知，B项不对。根据第三段最后一句话可知，D项不对。由此可知C项正确。
3．What kind of feeling is expressed in W．H.Auden's lines?
A．Envy.
B．Sympathy.
C．Emptiness.
D．Admiration.
答案：D 推理判断题。envy“忌妒”；sympathy“同情”；emptiness“空虚”；admiration“敬佩，钦佩”。Auden的诗词中有honored guest，最尊敬的客人，可知Auden是敬佩叶枝的。
4．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Yeats's literary achievements.
B．Yeats's historical influence.
C．Yeats's artistic ambition.
D．Yeats's national honor.
答案：A 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述作家叶枝在文学方面所取得的成绩，他的诗体戏剧获得了很大的成功，他的诗歌赢得了广泛的认可，1923年，他获得了诺贝尔文学奖。

Robert Burns, a famous Scottish poet, was born in a poor farmer's family. Although he only received two and a half years' schooling, he managed to read a large number of poems and novels in his spare time. His first collection of poems was completed in 1786. Once published, it attracted the attention of readers because of its simple style. And soon Burns' works stood out among other Scottish poems at that time. Despite his short life, he wrote many poems and contributed greatly to the development of English literature. His poem, A Red，Red Rose, has been translated into many languages and is liked by people throughout the world.
