【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 to reading all kinds of books. It was during her college years that Emily started writing. Some of her poems were published with the help of her female friends. However, the first serious attempt at having her poems published failed for her being rejected by The Atlantic magazine. This led the selfconscious poetess to believe that the public would never care for her works, and thus she never attempted to have any of her works published again. After the Civil War, Dickinson withdrew from society and had little contact outside of Amherst. Dickinson was very concerned with the subject of nature. Her writings are plex, and for many years scholars have searched for romantic inspiration, but have not yet understood her works. What is clear, however, is that her works can39。t just simply describe something in terms of a narrative style. Without doubt, Dickinson39。s works have greatly influenced and continue to influence modern poetry. In her time, her writing style was unique given that it included the use of dashes and capitalized nouns. None of her works rhymed, and she used unusual parisons when referring to events and situations. This unconventional method of writing has made her one of the most innovative poets of the 19th century.（1）Which of the following best explains acclaim underlined in the first paragraph?

Milton Hershey was born near the small village of Derry Church, Pennsylvania, in 1857. He only attended school through the fourth grade。 at that point, he was apprenticed(做學(xué)徒) to a printer in a nearby town. After a while, he left the printing business and was apprenticed to a Lancaster, Pennsylvania candy maker. And at the age of eighteen, he opened his own candy store in Philadelphia. In spite of his talents as a candy maker, the shop failed after six years. After the failure of his Philadelphia store, Milton headed for Denver, where he learned the art of making caramels(焦糖). Then in Denver, Milton once again attempted to open his own candymaking businesses, in Chicago, New Orleans, and New York City. Finally, in 1886, he went to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he raised the money necessary to try again. This pany— the Lancaster Caramel Company—established Milton39。s reputation as a master candy maker. In 1893, Milton attended the Chicago International Exposition, where he saw a display of German chocolatemaking implements. Fascinated by the equipment, he purchased it for his Lancaster candy factory and began producing chocolate, which he used for coating his caramels. By the next year, production had grown to include cocoa, sweet chocolate, and baking chocolate. The Hershey Chocolate pany was born in 1894 as a subsidiary(子公司) of the Lancaster Caramel Company. Six years later, Milton sold the caramel pany, but reserved the rights, and the equipment, to make chocolate. He believed that a large market of chocolate consumers was waiting for someone to produce reasonably priced candy. He was right. Milton Hershey returned to the village where he had been born, in the heart of dairy country, and opened his chocolate manufacturing plant. With access to all the fresh milk he needed, he began producing the finest milk chocolate. The plant that opened in a small Pennsylvania village in 1905 is today the largest chocolate factory in the world. The sweets created at this facility are favorites around the world. The area where the factory is located is now known as Hershey, Pennsylvania. Within the first decades of its existence, the town of Hershey thrived, as did the chocolate business. A bank, a school, churches, a department store, even a park and a trolley system all appeared in short order。 the town soon even had a zoo. Today, a visit to the area reveals the Hershey Medical Center, Milton Hershey School, and Hershey39。s Chocolate World—a theme park where visitors are greeted by a giant Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. All of these things— and a huge number of happy chocolate lovers—were made possible because a caramel maker visited the Chicago Exposition of 1893!（1）The mention of the 1893 Exposition indicates that _______. A.the exposition in Chicago is held once every three years.B.the theme of the exposition of 1893 was Food from Around the World.C.the exposition contained displays from a variety of countries.D.the site of the exposition is now a branch of the Hershey Chocolate Company.（2）According to the passage, Milton Hershey sold his caramel pany in _______. A.1894
