Question

【題目】Sometimes,you may “hate” poetry and fear to analyze a poem. Here are some tips which help you analyze a poem:

1. Select the poem carefully. In a poem analysis, you will generally be given a selection of two or three poems. You must pick one to analyze.Be careful. 【1】 Sometimes the shorter poems are very difficult poems. Often, longer poems are more like stories.

2. Research the poet. There will be research already performed on the poet you’ve selected. 【2】 Often the poet’s personal life has a direct impact on his or her works.

3. Research the poem. If you are analyzing a poem, it is probably quite well-known. Research and read about the poem. Other literary criticism (文藝評論) can help you in your analysis. 【3】 You must come up with a new thought, a new analysis, for the poem. Simply copying someone else’s ideas will not be enough.

4. 【4】 . Organization, as always, is the key to all essay writing and analysis. Your outline should consist of an introduction, a thesis statement (論點(diǎn)), three pieces of analysis, and a conclusion to bring it all together. Put these basic sentences into an outline structure, which will make the writing of the paper much easier.

5. Write the paper. 【5】 Follow your outline and you will have no trouble completing this assignment.

【2】E

【3】A

【4】D

【5】G

【解析】

【1】分析推斷題。根據(jù)語境，通常詩歌解析的時候，你會被給2-3首詩歌，從中選擇一首。有時短詩是非常難的詩，長詩則像故事。所以我們可以推斷，這里缺的句子和詩歌的長短有關(guān)，故選B

【2】分析推斷題。根據(jù)后一句：Often the poet’s personal life has a direct impact on his or her works. 通常，詩人的生平對于她或他的作品有著直接的影響�？梢酝茢嘁�閱讀作者的人生、歷史和風(fēng)格。故選E

【3】分析推斷題。根據(jù)該空后兩句You must come up with a new thought, a new analysis, for the poem. Simply copying someone else’s ideas will not be enough.你需要提出一個對于詩的新的想法，一種新的解析方式。只抄襲別人的想法是不夠的�？梢酝茢喑鯝.然而，記得別去抄、或者忽略原詩。

【4】分析推斷題。根據(jù)該空后一句 Your outline should consist of an introduction, a thesis statement (論點(diǎn)), three pieces of analysis, and a conclusion to bring it all together. 你的大綱應(yīng)該包括一個引言、一個論點(diǎn)、三條分析、還要有一個結(jié)論把它們整合起來�？梢酝茢�，這里是跟大綱有關(guān)，故選D

【5】分析推斷題。該空所在段落是關(guān)于把自己的看法寫在紙上，所以正確答案表達(dá)的意思應(yīng)該有動筆寫的成分，故選G.一旦你已經(jīng)研究好了你的詩人和詩，組織好你的思緒，你就可以開始寫了。
