When Black poets are discussed separately as a group, for instance, the extent to which their work reflects the developme
24、nt of poetry in general should not be forgotten, or a distortion of literary history may result. This caution is particularly relevant in an assessment of the differences between Black poets at the turn of the century (19001909) and those of the generation of the 1920s. These differences include the
25、 bolder and more forthright speech of the later generation and its technical inventiveness. It should be remembered, though, that comparable differences also existed for similar generations of White poets.When poets of the 1910s and 1920s are considered together, however, the distinctions that liter
26、ary historians might make between “conservative“ and “experimental“ would be of little significance in a discussion of Black poets, although these remain helpful classifications for White poets of these decades. Certainly differences can be noted between “conservative“ Black poets such as Countee Cu
27、llen and Cluade Mckay and “expert mental“ ones such as Jean Toomer and Langston Hughes. But Black poets were not battling over old or new styles, rather, one accomplished Black poet was ready to welcome another, whatever his or her style, for what mattered was racial pride.However, in the 1920s Blac
28、k poets did debate whether they should deal with specifically racial subjects. They asked whether they should only write about Black experience for a Black audience or whether such demands were restrictive. It may be said, though, that virtually all these poets wrote their best poems when they spoke
29、 out of racial feeling, race being, as James Weldon Johnson rightly put it, “perform the thing the Negro poet knows best“.At the turn of the century, by contrast, most Black poets generally wrote in the conventional manner of the age and expressed noble, if vague, emotions in their poetry. These poe
30、ts were not unusually gifted, though Roscoe Jamison and G. M. McClellen may be mentioned as exceptions. They chose not to write in dialect, which, as Sterling Brown has suggested, “meant a rejection of stereotypes of Negro life“, and they refused to write only about racial subjects. This refusal had
31、 both a positive and a negative consequence. As Brown observes, “Valuably insisting that Negro poets should not be confined to issues of race, these poets committed an error. they refused to look into their hearts and write. “ These are important insights, but one must stress that this refusal to lo
32、ok within was also typical of most White poets of the United States at the time. They, too, often turned from their own experience and consequently produced not very memorable poems about vague topics, such as the peace of nature.（分数：5.00）(1).It can be inferred that classifying a poet as either cons
33、ervative or experimental would be of “little significance“ when discussing Black poets of the 1910s and the 1920s because _.Athese poets wrote in very similar stylesBthese poets all wrote about nature in the same wayCthese poets were fundamentally united by a sense of racial achievement despite diff
34、erences in poetic styleDsuch a method of classification would fail to take account of the influence of general poetic practice（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, an issue facing Black poets in the 1920s was whether they should _.Aseek a consensus on new techniques of poetryBwrite exclusiv
35、ely about and for BlacksCwithdraw their support from a repressive societyDturn away from social questions to recollect the tranquility of nature（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The author quotes Sterling Brown in the fourth paragraph in order toApresent an interpretation of some Black poets that contradicts the
36、 authors own assertion about their acceptance of various poetic stylesBintroduce a distinction between Black poets who used dialect and White poets who did notCdisprove James Weldon Johnsons claim that race is what “the Negro poet knows best“Dsuggest what were the effects of some Black poets decisio

BIndifferent.CWary. DDecisive.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The passage is mainly aboutAAmerican Black poets o

39、 in at least one undesirable category. “Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men,“ according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New Yorks Veterans Administration Hospital.Studies of both animals and humans have shown th
40、at sex hormones somehow affect the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than males do under the same conditions. In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries (the female reproductive organs) removed, their chemical respo
41、nses became equal to those of the males.Adding to a womans increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased “opportunities“ for stress. “Its not necessarily that women dont cope as well. Its just that they have so much more to cope with, “ says Dr. Yehuda. “Their capacity for tolerating stress
42、may even be greater than mens“, she observes, “its just that theyre dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner“.Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. “I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a c
43、hronic or repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family members, and they tend not
44、to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relation ships can be quite devastating. “Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college. “I struggled a lot to get the college degree. I was living in so much frustration that that was
45、my escape, to go to school, and get ahead and do better. “ Later, her marriage ended and she became a single mother. “Its the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the ear payment, and pay the debt. I lived from paycheck to paycheck. “Not everyone experiences the ki
46、nds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes. But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain. Alvarezs experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.（分数：5.0
47、0）(1).Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?AWomen are biologically more vulnerable to stress.BWomen are still suffering much stress caused by men.CWomen are more experienced than men in coping with stress.DMen and women show different inclinations when faced with stress.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Dr. Yehudas research suggests that women _.Aneed extra doses of chemicals to handle stressBhave limited capacity for tolerating stressCare more capable of avoiding stressDare exposed to more stress（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.
