Renee had been married for a long, long time. Her favorite part of being married was the weekend, when she was with her two horses. On the weekend, Renee was at the stables(養(yǎng)馬場(chǎng)) from morning until dark. She fed, groomed, and rode her horses. She was an excellent rider. She would ride the horses bareback on Saturday, and then she would saddle（給馬裝鞍） them up on Sunday.
Renee loved parades. She used to say, “A parade isn’t a parade without a horse.” Renee loved parades almost as much as she loved her horses. She belonged to an email list of volunteers for parades. She regularly visited the state website list of parades to see if there were any new parades that she didn’t know about. All the state parades were organized in her computer. In the parades file, she listed the date, drive time and distance, parade time, contact people, and other details she felt were important.
She knew the parade director of every town within a four-hour drive. She never stayed overnight. She always left the parade in time to get her horses back to the stables before “bedtime”. She had to feed them before they turned in. Her horses seemed to like parades, too. They knew a few tricks that always impressed the children.
Renee was very generous with her time and her horses. But owning horses wasn’t cheap. You had to rent the stables, and there were always vet(獸醫(yī)) and feed bills. Renee knew how to cope with expenses, though. Her vet always gave her a 10-percent discount for paying cash. She always bought the no-name, generic food for the horses. Her vet had told her it was just as healthful and tasty as the brand name material. She always bought economy gasoline. And on parade days, Renee always packed her own lunch and ate with her horses.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年浙江省高三第二次月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Poet Dean Young has dealt with impermanence（ 無(wú)常）a lot in his career, but it's a particularly strong theme in Young's latest collection, Fall Higher．The new collection was published in April, just days after the poet received a life-saving heart transplant （移植） after about a decade of living with a weakening heart condition．

Young, whose work is often frank and rich with twisted humor, tells NPR's Renee Montaigne that as he recovers from operation, he's also slowly returning to his everyday writing habits．

"I'm getting back to it," Young says．"Not with the sort of concentration and sort of flame that I look forward to in the future, but I am blackening some pages．"

And on those blackened pages you'll find poems like " How Grasp Green," which carries themes of springtime and rebirth．It's one of the first poems Young has written since his transplant．

It's easy to spot clues （線索） to Young's awful health situation in the lines of his poetry. Fall Higher's "Vintage" opens with, "Because I will die soon, I fall asleep, during the lecture on the ongoing emergency．" And the poem "-The Rhythms Pronounce Themselves Then Vanish—published in The /Vew Barker in February —opens with the CT scan that revealed Young's heart condition．

Young says "Rhythms" was written about the beginning of his illness．

"I had been having a lot of physical pain so that I could hardly walk a block．I got sent to a gastroenterologist and he did a series of tests, and then the tests came back to me and it was all heart related," he says．" And the outlook wasn't good．

Hearts tend to come up a lot in poetry, and that's especially true of Young's work, which has clearly been influenced by the troubles of his own heart,

"A lot of times, it's not just a metaphor （比喻） ," Young says．"For me, it's an actual concern because I've been living with this disease for over 10 years．My father died of heart problems when he was 49, so it's been a sort of shadowy concern for me my whole life．

But Young's poems also deal with more abstract matters of the heart．He wrote Fall Higher's, "Late Valentine" for his wife．"We've been married since late November and most of it has been spent in the hospital," Young says of his marriage to poet Laurie Saurborn Young, who says " 'Late Valentine' is very sweet．

Today, Young says, his friends can't help but comment on how pink his cheeks have become—the result of a new heart and better circulation （循環(huán)）．But Young wrote the poems of Fall Higher before the transplant, at a time when, at its weakest point, his old heart was pumping at 8 percent of what it should have been．

He was staring death in the face—but he was still able to look at his life and see art

in it.

Young's work also touches on themes of randomness and fate —two factors that contributed to him getting a second chance in the form of a new heart from a 22-year-old student．

"Everything in life is molecules （分子） bouncing against molecules," Young says, and having a successful transplant is no different．" Somebody had to die; it had to be a fit; my blood and his blood had to not have an argument; the heart had to be transported; I had to get it．"

There were, in short, an amazing number of variables （變量） that led to Young

being here today.

"I just feel enormous gratitude," he says of his donor （捐獻(xiàn)者）．"He gave me a heart so I'm still alive-"I'm sure I'm going to think about this person for the rest of my life．"

1.The poetry collection Fall Higher _______．

A．was published in February

B．refers darkness as its main theme

C．is Young's latest collection of poetry

D．was written after Young's heart transplant

2.We can learn from the text that Young _______．

A．was born with heart disease

B．received a heart transplant in February

C．married a female poet after he wrote "Late Valentine"

D．wrote a poem for his wife in his collection

3.What does the writer try to say in Paragraph 3?

A．The writer expected some bright future, but he was disappointed．

B．The writer had less enthusiasm than before, but he still kept on writing．

C．The writer devoted more time to poems, so he grasped a good chance．

D．The writer wrote poems with less enthusiasm, so he quitted for a while．

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．"How Grasp Green" is the first poem in Fall Higher．

B．Young began all his poems with his illness．

C．Young's father died when Young was 49 years old．

D．Young's health situation is mentioned in his poetry．

5.What is the text mainly about?

A．Dean Young and his latest collection．

B．Dean Young and his heart problems．

C．The meaning of Fall Higher．

D．An analysis of Dean Young's poems．
