15、he discovery of Romantic. He had recalled how he was initiated into poetry by Edward Fitzgerald s 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 t

16、ook intensive courses 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 sc

17、ribbling which we may 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 Collecti

18、on, a part of which 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 astraightforward and spontaneous overflow of a simple feeling. Modeled on Ben Johnson, the poem expresses a conventional theme, and can b

19、e summarized in a single 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

20、 blight the mind of 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 lover s mourning of the loss of love, the passing of passion, and this is done through a simple contrast. The flowers i

21、n the field are blooming and flourishing, but those in his lover s 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 Shelley s “when the lamp is shattere

22、d“.The form, the dictation and the images are all borrowed. So is the carpe diem theme. In “Song: The Moonflower Opens“ (1909), Eliot makes the flower-love 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 poe

23、m, Eliot is not writing 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

24、 morning s flowers, flowers of yesterday, the moonflower which opens to the moth w 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

25、-siecle routines, some of these early poems already embodied Eliot s 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. “Circle s Palace“ (1909) shows that he already enterta

26、ined the view of women as 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 v

27、oice is the voice of tradition and their style is that of the Romantic period. It seems to me that the early Eliot s connection with Tennyson is especially interesting, in that Tennyson seems to have foreshadowed Eliot s own development.（分数：5.00）(1).Eliot was wrapped up in _ when he began to write p

28、oems.（分数：1.00）A.Edward Fitzgerald s poemsB.romantic poetsC.classical literatureD.romantic literature(2).Who invited Eliot to poem when he was a child?（分数：1.00）A.Ezra Pound.B.Whitman.C.Franklin.D.Edward Fitzgerald.(3).Which of the following statement is NOT true of Eliot s first poem?（分数：1.00）A.It wa

30、 The Moonflower Opens“.C.Fin-de-siecle.D.“before Morning“.(5).The article is primary concerned with _.（分数：1.00）A.comparing the early poems by Tennyson and EliotB.illustrating Eliot s talent as a young artistC.introducing some background knowledge of EliotD.representing Eliot s early style and his co

31、nnection with Romantic poetsBTEXT B/BYesterday, 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, there s a connection between crime and credibilit

32、y. Every time some rapper poses for a mug shot, there is a chorus of commentators ready to declare that it s 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,

33、 who were looking for him as a suspect in a shooting that killed one man and wounded two others. Less than two weeks later, Cassidy s second album, “I m a Hustla“, arrived in stores; it makes its debut at No. 5 on this week s Billboard album chart.And in May, the emerging Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane s

34、urrendered in connection with the slaying 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

35、 foe and former collaborator Young Jeezy, from the Atlanta group Boyzn da Hood, which released its thrilling self-rifled debut album on June 21; Jeezy s highly anticipated solo debut is due on July 26.It s clear that many rappers find themselves embroiled in violence, but it s also clear that Radric

36、 Davis had plenty to worry about even before he became a Southern sensation named Gucci Mane: he had previously been convicted on cocaine charges. And while a high-profile arrest certainly won t scare off hip-hop fans, it won t usually drive them to the record shops, either. Billboard said the arres

37、t gave Gucci Mane a “big boost on the charts,“ but in fact his album made its debut at No. 101. That s not a very strong showing, especially considering the popularity of Gucci Mane s breakout hit, “Icy,“ a regional favorite that became a BET favorite, too.The strange troth is that being arrested or

38、 going to prison - even for murder - isnt likely to have much effect on a rapper s reputation. When Lit Kim makes her inevitable return, she II 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,

39、 loyalty counts for a lot), it is by no means clear that 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 aft

40、er his arrestB.was arrested and hence the sale of his album sharply declinedC.delivered himself to the policeD.was caught by the police(2).The arrest of Gucci Mane（分数：1.00）A.will scare off the fansB.will drive them to the stores to buy his albumC.both A and BD.neither A nor B(3).After reading the pa

41、ssage, we learn that（分数：1.00）A.the author believes that crime will certainly promote the rappers albumB.the conventional wisdom of crime s connection with credibility is always trueC.being put into jail will not necessarily help a rappers careerD.being put into jail may change the perceptions fans a

42、lready haveBTEXT C/BElizabeth was fortunate 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 men s equals in the possession of a soul? But to the old idea that they should be trained in Christian

43、 manners and thought was now added a new purpose: 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 sex- its love of novelty and inborn tendency to vice - to think women

44、dangerous enough without adding to their subtlety and forward- ness; but they were not able to stem the tide.Henry VII s 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

45、printer, and a liberal benefactor to the universities. Sir Thomas More s daughters studied Greek, Latin, Philosophy, Astronomy, Physic, Arithmetic, Logic, Rhetoric and Music. In his household women were treated as men s equals in conversation and wit, and scholars boasted of them in letters to frien

46、ds abroad.The movement was strengthened from abroad by 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 daughte

47、r Mary.This was the heritage into which the sharp-witted 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 humani

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 English and then back into the original. The afternoons were given over to Latin, and she also studied Protestant theology, kept up her F
