Question

7．Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets，John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery，human nature，and philosophy．Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education，his own studies and passion brought him much success．Additionally，his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly．
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower，middle-class family，the young John didn't attend a private school，but went to a public one．His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies．After his father's death in the early 1800s，followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis （肺結核），he began viewing life differently．He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on．
At around the age of 16，the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor．However，his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy，especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser．He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816，entitled O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell．Within two months in 1817，Keats had written an entire volume of poetry，but was sharply criticized by a magazine．However，the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm．
John Keats'next work was Endymion，which was published in May 1818．The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human．Following Engymion，however，he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella．During this time，John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences．He would have to have the"knowledge"associated with his poems．His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned．However，a bout （發作） with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821．

Answer 1

分析 本文記敘了英國詩人John Keats的生平和作品．詩人兒時家庭貧困，曾經學醫，但是對詩歌更有興趣．父母的相繼去世，改變了詩人的人生態度，從此一改不愛讀書的習慣，躲進書堆、逃避世界．1816年出版處女詩作．1817年出版詩集，但是受到一家雜志的尖銳批評，然而沒有放棄對詩歌的執著．在意識到自己生活經歷限制了自己詩歌創作之后，詩人原本在下一部作品中將詩歌與"知識"集合起來，但是英年早逝，于1821年離世．

解答 56-60  DBACA
56：細節理解題．由第二段After his father's death in the early 1800s，followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis （肺結核），he began viewing life differently．可知詩人在父母相繼離世后開始改變對生活的看法．故D項正確．
57：細節理解題．由followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis （肺結核）和文章最后一句a bout （發作） with tuberculosis …eventually take his life in 1821可知，詩人與母親死于相同疾病．故B項正確．
58：細節理解題．由第三段第一句話the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon 可知，詩人16歲時曾師從一位外科醫生．surgeon：外科醫生．B項與原文不符，犯了偷換概念的錯誤．原文第一段說的是詩人沒有受過文學方面的正規教育（Keats didn't receive much formal literary education）而非"學校教育有限）．1817年詩人用了不到兩個月寫出詩集，而非1816年，C項錯誤．Endymion是一首神話詩歌（love with the moon goddess）而非真實愛情故事，D項錯誤．故A項正確．
59：細節理解題．從第三段最后一句However，the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm 可知，尖銳的批評沒有時詩人放棄對詩歌是執著．determined：意志堅定的．故C項正確．
60：推理判斷題．由最后一段His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned．However，a bout （發作） with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work 可知該部作品未能完成．故A項正確．D項由文章第二段明確提及，無需推斷．B，C兩項文中沒有依據．
