【正文】 rom Bright39。s disease on May 15, 1886 that Emily Dickinson enjoyed recognition for her poetic acplishment. A limited volume of her works appeared in1890, but it was Thomas H. Johnson39。s release of her plete body of poetry that made her works receive real acclaim. He published 1,775 of her poems in 1955 in a volume entitled The Poems of Emily Dickinson. Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, MA in 1830. The Dickinson family was well known in the munity for their contribution to politics and education. Dickinson lived most of her life with her grandfather who was famous for having founded the Amherst Academy in1814 and later Amherst College in 1821. Emily Dickinson led a reclusive life, but her childhood was a happy one. She had the privilege of being educated at some of the most outstanding women schools in her time and devoted herself 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.

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?

That39。s happiness. Putting their gift to work, the boys entered the printing business soon after high school. Orville designed and then built a printing press（印刷機(jī)）for this enterprise. At first, they did contract printing for other people, and soon one of their customers during the early 1890s was Father Milton39。s church. They also tried the newspaper business, and although their two newspapers, the West Side News and The Evening Item were considered to be of high quality, Dayton already had daily newspapers, so the Wrights soon returned to contract printing. Branching out into other areas, they also opened a bicycle business. Bicycling was the fastest growing sport in the country at that time, and their repair shop soon led them into building bicycles of their own design, often with tools of their own construction, such as the lathe（車床）driven by a onecylinder gasoline engine built by Orville. The bicycle shop would provide the livelihood（生計(jì)）that would allow them to carry out their experiments on airplanes. （1）What may inspire Wilbur and Orville Wright to be keen on flight in childhood？ A.Their experiences of taking a flight.B.Their wishes to travel by plane.C.The toys their father brought for them.D.Their interest in duplicating toys.（2）What kind of children were the W
