Question

【題目】 Robert Frost is an American poet（詩人）, who was born in 1874 in San Francisco, but spent most of his years in snowy places like Massachusetts. Most of his poems were about nature and the New England sights. Frost is known for creating simple poems in everyday English. He was big on sounds, often talking about how the sounds of words carry more meaning than the words themselves. His most famous poem is as follows:

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer（古怪的）

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells（佩鈴）a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake（雪花）.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

This poem was written in 1922, two years before Frost won the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes. The poem tells the story of a man traveling to a town, who is pretty much in love with what he sees, but can’t quite make himself leave the lovely and dark woods.

【解析】

羅伯特·弗羅斯特是位美國詩人。他大部分的時間都生活在下雪的地方，他的大多數(shù)的詩都與自然和風(fēng)景有關(guān)。本文介紹了他最有名的一首詩。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Most of his poems were about nature and the New England sights.”可知他大部分詩都是關(guān)于自然和風(fēng)景的。故選D。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)詩中“My little horse must think it queer（古怪的） To stop without a farmhouse near”可知停在一個沒有農(nóng)舍的地方，馬一定覺得很奇怪，因此可推斷通常馬都是停到有農(nóng)舍的地方。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“He gives his harness bells（佩鈴）a shake To ask if there is some mistake”可知上一句以shake結(jié)尾，下一句以mistake結(jié)尾，并且兩個單詞都以-ake結(jié)尾，因此這兩個單詞押韻。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“…who is pretty much in love with what he sees, but can’t quite make himself leave the lovely and dark woods.”這首詩描繪的是一個人看到可愛的黑森林，愛上了這片森林，因此這首詩表達(dá)的是對自然的熱愛。故選A。

【5】推理判斷題。本文剛開始介紹詩人，然后是他最有名的詩，然后對詩歌的背景進(jìn)行介紹，因此可推斷這篇文章應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在詩歌集里。故選D。
