15、s五、PART READING COMPR(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、TEXT A(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Eliots interested in poetry in about 1902 with the discovery of Romantic. 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 “overwhelmin

16、g introduction to a new world of feeling.“ From then on, till about his twentieth year of age (1908), he took 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 th

17、e youthful consciousness and assume complete possession for a time. The frequent result is an outburst of scribbling 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

18、a mind preoccupied by certain Romantic poets. His imitative scribbling survives in the Harvard Eliot Collection, a part of which is published as Poems Written in Early Youth. “A Lyric“ (1905), written at Smith Academy and Eliots first poem ever shown to anthers eye, is a straightforward and spontane

19、ous overflow of a simple feeling. Modeled on Ben Johnson, the poem expresses a conventional theme, and can be 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 re

20、treat, never recognizes his own limitations, and never experiences the kind of inner struggle, which will so 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 lovers mour

21、ning of the loss of love, the passing of passion, and this is done through a simple contrast. The flowers in the field are blooming 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

22、 has been consummated. The poem achieves an effect similar to that of Shelleys “when the lamp is shattered“.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

23、 his love is too cold-hearted and does not have “tropical flowers/ With scarlet life for me“. In these poem, 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

24、 should not be strange to find him at this stage so interested in flowers: the flowers in the wreath, this mornings flowers, flowers 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 di

25、d not just work on his imagination; they compelled his imagination to work their way.Though merely fin-de-siecle routines, some 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 beau

26、ty and decay under the same sun and the same sky. “Circles Palace“ (1909) shows that he already entertained 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“

27、. Despite all these hints of later development, these poems do not represent the Eliot we know. Their voice is the voice of tradition 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 hav

28、e 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 Fitzgeralds 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 Fi

30、following is NOT Eliots poem?（分数：1.00）A.“Song: When we came home across the hill“B.“Song: The Moonflower Opens“C.Fin-de-siecleD.“before Morning“(5).The article is primary concerned with _.（分数：1.00）A.comparing the early poems by Tennyson and Eliot.B.illustrating Eliots talent as a young artist.C.intr

31、oducing some background knowledge of Eliot.D.representing Eliots early style and his connection with Romantic poets.七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：3.00)Yesterday, 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 cant stay out of jail.

32、 The conventional wisdom is that for hip-hop stars, theres a connection between crime and credibility. Every time some rapper poses for a mug 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 face

33、d more serious charges. On June 17 the Philadelphia rapper Cassidy turned himself in to the police, who were looking for him as a suspect in a shooting that killed one man and wounded two others. Less than two weeks later, Cassidys second album, “Im a Hustla“, arrived in stores; it makes its debut a

34、t No. 5 on this weeks Billboard album chart.And in May, the emerging Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane surrendered 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, h

35、as said that the killing was self-defense and has suggested that Pookie Loc was connected to his foe and former collaborator Young Jeezy, 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

36、clear that many rappers find themselves embroiled in violence, but its also clear that Radric 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 wont scare off hip

37、-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,“ 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 regi

38、onal favorite that became a BET favorite, too.The strange truth is that being arrested or going to prison -even for murder -isnt likely to have much effect on a rappers reputation. When Lil Kim makes her inevitable return, shell inevitably have some rhymes about her time inside. But although some fa

39、ns 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 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.（

Women had always been educated of course, for had not St. Paul said that wo

43、men 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 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, morbi

44、dly obsessed with the weaknesses of the sex- its love of novelty and inborn tendency to vice - to think women dangerous enough without adding to their subtlety 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 F

45、rench 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. Sir Thomas Mores daughters studied Greek, Latin, philosophy, Astronomy, Physic, Arithmetic, Logic, Rhetoric and Music. In his household wo

46、men 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 Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIIIS Spanish Queen. In the Spain of her childhood ladies were the friends of scholars Vives, one of the most ref

47、reshing 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-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.

48、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 already 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 English and then back into the original. The afternoons were given over to Latin, and
