题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Young, whose work is often frank and rich with twisted humor, tells NPR's Renee Montaigne that as he recovers from operation, he's also slowly returning to his everyday writing habits．

"I'm getting back to it," Young says．"Not with the sort of concentration and sort of flame that I look forward to in the future, but I am blackening some pages．"

And on those blackened pages you'll find poems like " How Grasp Green," which carries themes of springtime and rebirth．It's one of the first poems Young has written since his transplant．

It's easy to spot clues （线索） to Young's awful health situation in the lines of his poetry. Fall Higher's "Vintage" opens with, "Because I will die soon, I fall asleep, during the lecture on the ongoing emergency．" And the poem "-The Rhythms Pronounce Themselves Then Vanish—published in The /Vew Barker in February —opens with the CT scan that revealed Young's heart condition．

Young says "Rhythms" was written about the beginning of his illness．

"I had been having a lot of physical pain so that I could hardly walk a block．I got sent to a gastroenterologist and he did a series of tests, and then the tests came back to me and it was all heart related," he says．" And the outlook wasn't good．

Hearts tend to come up a lot in poetry, and that's especially true of Young's work, which has clearly been influenced by the troubles of his own heart,

"A lot of times, it's not just a metaphor （比喻） ," Young says．"For me, it's an actual concern because I've been living with this disease for over 10 years．My father died of heart problems when he was 49, so it's been a sort of shadowy concern for me my whole life．

But Young's poems also deal with more abstract matters of the heart．He wrote Fall Higher's, "Late Valentine" for his wife．"We've been married since late November and most of it has been spent in the hospital," Young says of his marriage to poet Laurie Saurborn Young, who says " 'Late Valentine' is very sweet．

Today, Young says, his friends can't help but comment on how pink his cheeks have become—the result of a new heart and better circulation （循环）．But Young wrote the poems of Fall Higher before the transplant, at a time when, at its weakest point, his old heart was pumping at 8 percent of what it should have been．

He was staring death in the face—but he was still able to look at his life and see art

in it.

Young's work also touches on themes of randomness and fate —two factors that contributed to him getting a second chance in the form of a new heart from a 22-year-old student．

"Everything in life is molecules （分子） bouncing against molecules," Young says, and having a successful transplant is no different．" Somebody had to die; it had to be a fit; my blood and his blood had to not have an argument; the heart had to be transported; I had to get it．"

There were, in short, an amazing number of variables （变量） that led to Young

being here today.

"I just feel enormous gratitude," he says of his donor （捐献者）．"He gave me a heart so I'm still alive-"I'm sure I'm going to think about this person for the rest of my life．"

　　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 write poems to tell about the native American experience．
D．	He wanted to become a great poet．

(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．

(3)

What does the words the ragged individual mean?
[　　]
A．	the rich people
B．	the poor people
C．	the poem writers
D．	the American lawyers

I really like reading and writing short stories. My favourite collection of short stories is a book called The Story Giant by Brian Patten, in which a giant , alone in a crumbling （将倒塌的）castle, knows all the stories in the world except one. He gets four children from different parts of the world to tell him stories in the hope that he will find the last story so he can stay alive. Do you think he finds the last story?

I also like reading novels. One of my favourite novels is called Life of Pi. It is written by a Canadian called Yann Martel and is about an Indian boy who spends a long time at sea after a shipwreck（海难）alone with nobody but a tiger.

Not many people read plays these days but many people still enjoy watching them at the theatre or on television. As for me, I read scripts（剧本）much more often than I go to see live theatre. I like plays which are either about great people and great events or about something from everyday life which is funny.

Perhaps the least popular form of literature is poetry. This is because many poems are very difficult to understand and often seem to be written by very clever people to be read by very clever people too. In my native England though there is a poet called Roger McGough who writes very funny and interesting poems which anybody can understand. Most of them are about everyday events and ordinary people. I wish I could write poems like him
