(A) Some things about Emily Dickinson’s life were strange and mysterious(神秘的). She was born in 1830, in a rich and well-known family in Amherst, Massachusetts. She had a brother and a sister. Emily was shy and quiet, but she had friends. She went to parties like other young girls of her age and met young men. But she did not fall in love with any of them and never married.

(B) Dickinson died at the age of 55. Her sister found her poems, and they were finally published. Sadly, Emily Dickinson did not live to enjoy her great success.

(C)For a long time, Emily Dickinson did not want to see her friends. She stayed at home, read, worked in the garden and wrote poems. Emily wrote her poems everywhere. She wrote them on bits of newspapers or anything that was near. Later, she wrote them out carefully. When she was 28, something happened. Emily was very upset. No one knows why. Some people said she loved a married man. Others said she was unhappy because nobody wanted to publish her poems. She kept on writing anyway.

(D) Emily Dickinson was a very famous American poet. She wrote about 2,000 poems, but only four were published in her lifetime. No one wanted to publish her works because it was different from what other poets wrote. After Dickinson died, her poems were finally published. Then she became famous.

(E) As she got older, Emily often wanted to be alone. When someone came to her house, she ran upstairs to hide. For the last 16 years of her life, she never left her home.

試題分析：這篇短文給我們介紹的是美國著名的詩人Emily Dickens。她一生寫了很多詩，但是大多數的詩都是在她死后才出版的。她出生在一個富裕的家庭，開始的時候有很多朋友，但是不知道什么原因，她變得很自閉，不與外人接觸，在55歲的時候就去世了。

1.這篇短文給我們介紹的是Emily Dickens，她是美國一個著名的詩人。因此首先我們先對Emily和她的詩做一個整體的介紹。由此可知，D應該是短文的第一段，它的第一句話就點明了這篇短文要介紹的人物Emily Dickens。

2.根據第一段的內容可知，Emily是美國的一個著名的詩人，她的詩到她死后才大量的出版。從這一段開始作者就來講述Emily的生活，應該從她出生時起，故A中She was born in 1830, in a rich and well-known family in Amherst, Massachusetts可知，第二段應該是A。

3.根據上文的意思可知，Emily有很多的朋友，她經常和朋友們在一起聚會。但是后來有一段時間，她突然不想見到她的朋友了，還講到了可能的原因。故選C。

4.根據這一段的開頭As she got older可知，這一段講述的是Emily老一點的時候的事情，她變得更加自閉，不與任何人接觸，即使生病了，也不讓醫生進入她的房間。故選E。

5.這是短文的最后一段，根據B選項中Emily died at the age of 55可知，這一段中提到了Emily的死，因此它應該是短文的結束。故選B。
