14、antic. He had recalled how he was initiated into poetry by Edward Fitzgeralds Omar Khayyam at the age of fourteen. “It was like a sudden conversion“, he said, an “overwhelming introduction to a new world of feeling.“ From then on, till about his twentieth year of age (1908), he took intensive course

15、s in Byron, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson, Rossetti and Swinburne.It is, no doubt, a period of keen enjoyment.At this period, the poem, or the poetry of a single poet, invades the youthful consciousness and assume complete possession for a time.The frequent result is an outburst of scribbling which we ma

16、y call imitation.It is not deliberate choice of a poet to mimic, but writing under a kind of daemonic possession by one poet.Thus, the young Eliot started his career with a mind preoccupied by certain Romantic poets. His imitative scribbling survives in the Harvard Eliot Collection, a part of which

17、is published as Poems Written in Early Youth. “A Lyric“ (1905), written at Smith Academy and Eliot s first poem ever shown to anther s eye, is a straightforward and spontaneous overflow of a simple feeling. Modeled on Ben Johnson, the poem expresses a conventional theme, and can be summarized in a s

18、ingle sentence: since time and space are limited, let us love while we can. The hero is totally self-confident, with no Prufrockian self-consciousness. He never thinks of retreat, never recognizes his own limitations, and never experiences the kind of inner struggle, which will so blight the mind of

19、 Prufrock.“Song: When we came home across the hill“ (1907), written after Eliot entered Harvard College, achieved about the same degree of success. The poem is a lovers mourning of the loss of love, the passing of passion, and this is done through a simple contrast. The flowers in the field are bloo

20、ming and flourishing, but those in his lovers wreath are fading and withering. The point is that, as flowers become waste then they have been plucked, so love passes when it has been consummated. The poem achieves an effect similar to that of Shelleys “when the lamp is shattered“.The form, the dicta

21、tion and the images are all borrowed. So is the carpe diem theme. In “Song: The Moon- flower Opens“ (1909), Eliot makes the flowerlove comparison once more and complains that his love is too Cold-hearted and does not have “tropical flowers/With scarlet life for me“. In these poem, Eliot is not writi

22、ng in his own right, but the poets who possessed him are writing through him. He is imitating in the usual sense of the word, having not yet developed his critical sense. It should not be strange to find him at this stage so interested in flowers: the flowers in the wreath, this mornings flowers, fl

23、owers of yesterday, the moonflower which opens to the moth - not interested in them as symbols, but interested in them as beautiful objects. In these poems, the Romantics did not just work on his imagination; they compelled his imagination to work their way.Though merely fin-de-siecle routines, some

24、 of these early poems already embodied Eliots mature thinking, and forecasted his later development. “Before Morning“ (1908) shows his awareness of the co-habitation of beauty and decay under the same sun and the same sky. “Circles Palace“ (1909) shows that he already entertained the view of women a

25、s emasculating their male victims or sapping their strength. “On a Portrait“ (1909) describes women as mysterious and evanescent, existing “beyond the circle of our thought“. Despite all these hints of later development, these poems do not represent the Eliot we know. Their voice is the voice of tra

26、dition and their style is that of the Romantic period. It seems to me that the early Eliots connection with Tennyson is especially interesting, in that Tennyson seems to have foreshadowed Eliots own development.（分数：5.00）(1).Eliot was wrapped up in _when he began to write poems.（分数：1.00）A.Edward Fitz

27、geralds poemsB.Romantic poetsC.Classical literatureD.Romantic literature(2).Who invited Eliot to poem when he was a child?（分数：1.00）A.Ezra PoundB.WhitmanC.FranklinD.Edward Fitzgerald(3).Which of the following statement is NOT true of Eliots first poem?（分数：1.00）A.It was written at Smith Academy.B.It w

30、esterday, when Lil Kim was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for lying to a grand jury, it seemed like more proof that rappers just can t stay out of jail. The conventional wisdom is that for hip-hop stars, theres a connection between crime and credibility. Every time some rapper poses for a m

31、ug shot, there is a chorus of commentators ready to declare that its all a publicity stunt.The sentencing of Lil Kim comes after two months when two rappers faced more serious charges. On June 17 the Philadelphia rapper Cassidy turned himself in to the police, who were looking for him as a suspect i

32、n a shooting that killed one man and wounded two others. Less than two weeks later, Cassidys second album, “I m a Hustla“, arrived in stores; it makes its debut at No. 5 on this weeks Billboard album chart.And in May, the emerging Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane surrendered in connection with the slaying

33、of a rapper from Macon, Ga., named Pookie Loc; the arrest came the same day as the release of his new album, “Trap House“ (Big Cat). Gucci Mane, who was jailed, has said that the killing was self-defense and has suggested that Pookie Loc was connected to his foe and former collaborator Young Jeezy,

34、from the Atlanta group Boyzn da Hood, which released its thrilling self-titled debut album on June 21; Jeezys highly anticipated solo debut is due on July 26.Its clear that many rappers find themselves embroiled in violence, but it s also clear that Radric Davis had plenty to worry about even before

35、 he became a Southern sensation named Gucci Mane: he had previously been convicted on cocaine charges. And while a high-profile arrest certainly wont scare off hip-hop fans, it wont usually drive them to the record shops, either. Billboard said the arrest gave Gucci Mane a “big boost on the charts,“

36、 but in fact his album made its debut at No. 101. Thats not a very strong showing, especially considering the popularity of Gucci Manes breakout hit, “Icy,“ a regional favorite that became a BET favorite, too.The strange truth is that being arrested or going to prisoneven for murderisnt likely to ha

37、ve much effect on a rapper s reputation. When Lil Kim makes her inevitable return, she11 inevitably have some rhymes about her time inside. But although some fans might admire her for not testifying against her friends (in hip-hop, as elsewhere, loyalty counts for a lot), it is by no means clear tha

38、t jail will help her career. For a rapper, having your name printed in the police blotter is likely merely to reinforce whatever perceptions fans already have.（分数：3.00）(1).The Philadelphia rapper Cassidy_（分数：1.00）A.released his first album after his arrest.B.was arrested and hence the sale of his al

39、bum sharply declined.C.delivered himself to the police.D.was caught by the police.(2).The arrest of Gucci Mane_（分数：1.00）A.will scare off the fans. B. will drive them to the stores to buy his album.B.both A andC.D.neither A nor B(3).After reading the passage, we learn that_（分数：1.00）A.the author belie

40、ves that crime will certainly promote the rappers album.B.the conventional wisdom of crimes connection with credibility is always true.C.being put into jail will not necessarily help a rappers career.D.being put into jail may change the perceptions fans already have.BTEXT C/BElizabeth was fortunate

41、to be born in the lull flush of Renaissance enthusiasm for education. Women had always been educated of course, for had not St. Paul said that women were mens equals in the possession of a soul? But to the old idea that they should be trained in Christian manners and thought was now added a new purp

42、ose: to quicken the spirit and train them in the craft and eloquence of the classical authors of Greece and Rome. Critics were not wanting, morbidly obsessed with the weaknesses of the Sexits love of novelty and inborn tendency to viceto think women dangerous enough without adding to their subtlety

43、and forwardness; but they were not able to stem the tide.Henry VIIs mother was one of the first to indicate the new trend. She knew enough French to translate “The Mirror of God for the Sinful Soul“ and was the patron of Caxton, the first English printer, and a liberal benefactor to the universities

44、. Sir Thomas Mores daughters studied Greek, Latin, philosophy, Astronomy, Physic, Arithmetic, Logic, Rhetoric and Music. In his household women were treated as mens equals in conversation and wit, and scholars boasted of them in letters to friends abroad.The movement was strengthened from abroad by

45、Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII S Spanish Queen. In the Spain of her childhood ladies were the friends of scholars Vives, one of the most refreshing figures in the history of education, to write a plan of studies for the education of her daughter Mary.This was the heritage into which the sharp-witte

46、d child Elizabeth entered. At six years old, it was said, she was precociously intelligent and had as much gravity as if she had been forty. Little is known of her education until her tenth year, when she became the pupil of the Cambridge humanists, Roger Ascham and William Grindall, but she was alr

47、eady learning French and Italian and must have been well grounded in Lation. Ascham helped her to form that beautiful Italian hand she wrote on all special occasions and with him she spent the morning on Greek, first the New Testament and then the classical authors, translating them first into Engli

48、sh and then back into the original. The afternoons were given over to Latin, and she also studied Protestant theology, kept up her French and Italian and later learned Spanish. When she was sixteen Ascham wrote:“ Her mind has no womanly weakness, her perseverance is equal to that of a man, and her memory long keeps what it quickly picks up.“ Though it is easy to be cynical about the reputed accomplishments of the great, Elizabeth was notoriously quick and intellig
