大的。第一段講述了兩個詩人競爭美國最偉大詩人的稱號;第二段第三段都是對兩位詩人作品特點的描述;第四段講述他們對生活的不同態(tài)度。s novel “The Armies of the Night”.

Mr Ashbery39。s approach, as evinced by his poetry, is more that of a gentle shrug of amused bewilderment. Unlike Lowell39。比如 “紫羅蘭縱聲開放 / 宛如空桶里的一句毒誓 ”。由第一段中 Lowell喜歡參與政治,在詩歌中經常將自己視為悲劇的英雄人物這一點可以看出,他主題選擇應該是比較宏大的。 [D] the world should go on its path for a bright future .

[B] 他用比喻的方式很奇怪。選項 A, 文章第二段最后一句提到, there are often echoes of other poets in his writings, 有其他詩人的調子,但并沒有說直接借用其作品中的句子,可能是模仿其風格或語調。根據整篇文章,洛厄爾是比較正統的一位詩人,他對待世界的態(tài)度是嚴肅的,他這句話的深層意思是世界應該一直努力向前,最終能夠走到光明的未來。選項 A 也容易混淆,但要從 tragic heroic 這幾個詞中推導正確答案,因為這些就是宏大敘事中常見的特征。 [A] serious [A] 嚴肅的。t take himself that seriously. “Is all of life a tepid housewarming?” For a poet this is a tougher question to answer than you might think. word “substantial” (Line 4, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.
