Ⅳ.阅读理解

William Wordsworth, the representative poet of the first generation of Romantics and the chief spokesman of Romantic poetry, was born in 1770 in the Lake District of Cumberland. He lost both parents when still very young and was brought up by relatives, who sent him to school at Hawksherd in the beautiful lake region in Northwestern England, where he had time to lead a life of delighted freedom in the surrounding hills. He loved nature more than his books.He entered Cambridge in 1787, but left it without distinction. In
the last summer vacation in the Cambridge University, he went to France where he saw the French Revolution.The years from 1793 to 1798 were an important period in his life during which he suffered from great depression.But then he successfully overcame it.Since 1795, he lived a relatively lonely life in the Lake District with his sister, and devoted to writing poetry while enjoying a peaceful and free life. Three years later he published an epoch－making book with Samuel Taylor ColeLyrical Ballads.
The publication of this book has been taken as a historical event marking the beginning of English Romanticism in poetry.
His reputation as a poet was well established in the late 1830s and began to soar in the 1840s.
Wordsworth wrote a large number of poems. The themes are mainly around nature, children and simple country life.
Out of this reason, he was called nature poet or democratic poet. His poetic creation and theory of poetry left great influence upon later romanticists such as Keats and Shelley.

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 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' 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 Auden wrote, among others, the following liners：
Earth, receive an honored guest：
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry.
【语篇解读】 本文是人物介绍文，介绍著名爱尔兰作家William Butler Yeats及其文学成就。

C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.

7．What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden's lines?

B．Sympathy.
