单选题 Charles Reznikoff (1894～1976) worked relentlessly, never leaving New York but for a brief stay in Hollywood, of all places. He was admired by Pound and Kenneth Burke. and often published his own works; in the Depression era, he managed a treadle printing press in his basement. He wrote three sorts of poems: exceptionally short imagistic lyrics; longer pieces crafted and cobbled from other sources, often from the Judaic tradition: and book-length poems wrought from the testimony both of Holocaust trials and from the courtrooms of mm-of-the-century America. Two of these full-length volumes were indeed titled Testimony, as was an earlier prose work; it was a word that kept him close company. When asked late in life to define his poetry, it was not the word he chose.
"Objectivist,' he wrote, naming his longstanding group, and mimicking poetic style with a single prose sentence: "images clear but the meaning not stated but suggested by the objective details and the music of the verse: words pithy and plain: without the artifice of regular meters: themes, chiefly Jewish. American. urban." If the sentence sounds hard-won, this is perhaps because it was. Four decades earlier, he wrote in a letter to friends, "There is a learned article about my verse in Poetry this month, from which I learn that I am an objectivist." The learned fellow was Louis Zukofsky, brilliant eminence of the Objectivists. "with whom I disagree as to both form and content of verse, but to whom I am obliged for placing some of my things here and there." So read Reznikoffs conclusion in 1931. with its fillip of polite resentment.
Movements and schools are arbitrary and immaterial things by which poetic history is told. This must have rankled Reznikoff. who spent his writing life tracing the material and the necessary.
Born a child of immigrants in Brooklyn in 1294. he was in journalism school at 16, took a law degree at 21. Though he was little interested in legal practice, the ideas would be near the heart of his writing. Ideal poetic language, he wrote, "is restricted almost to the testimony of a witness in a court of law." If this suggests a congenital optimism about the law. it made for astonishingly care-filled poetry. Reznikoff is unsurpassed in conveying the sense that the world is worth getting right. Not the glorious or the damaged world, but the world that is everything that is the case. Reznikoffs faith in the facts of the case takes on an intensity no less social than spiritual, no greater when surveying the Old Testament than New York This collection gathers all his poems (but for those already book-length) by the technique of compressing onto single pages as many as five or six at a time. This can lessen the force; each is a sort of American haiku, though no more impressionistic than a hand-operated printing press. One such. numbered 69 in the volume Jerusalem the Golden, runs in its length: "Among the heaps of brick and plaster lies f a girder, still itself among the rubbish." This exemplary couplet is sometimes taken to represent Reznikoff's poetry itself, immutable and certain amid the transitory.

单选题 By saying "it was a word that kepi him close company"( Line 7. Par

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】推理判断题。原句是“Two of these full-length volumes were indeed titled Testimony, as was an earlier prose work; it was a word that kept him close company.”(长篇中有两篇题目是《证词》，早些时候的散文作品也是，这个词一直伴随他左右。)从这句话之前对他作品的介绍也可以看出，这些长篇诗歌来源于一些证词，这就是为什么他一直和证词有关的原因。选项A“查尔斯经常写一些和证闶有关的作品”；B“壹尔斯经常被卷人证词事件中”；C“查尔斯喜欢写证词”；矿查尔斯是个忙碌的律师”。因此A最符合。

单选题 Reznikoff's attitude to the fact that he was grouped as objectivist is______.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】推理判斯题。Reznikoff对于自己被归为客观主义流派的态度可以追溯到文章中有关客观主义部分的讨论，文章第二段提到他被看作是客观主义流派，他对此的态度可以从其话语中看出： “The learned fellow was Louis Zukofsky, brilliant eminence of the Objectivists, with whom I disagree as to both form and content of verse, but to whom I am obliged for placing some of my things here and there.”从disagree一词就可以看出他对这种评价持反对态度，后面又提到“So read Reznikoffs conclusion in 1931, with its fillip of polite resentment.”从resentment也可以得出这个结论，故选C。

单选题 The word "rankled" (Line 2. Par

单选题 We can learn from the fourth paragraph that______.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】推理判断题。第四段主要讲述了Reznikoff青年时代学习法律，以及法律在他诗歌创作中的作用。A“Rezaikoff喜欢学习法律”，从第四段"he was little interested in legal practice"可以看出，他对此并不热衷，该选项不符合原文；B“Rezuikoff更加喜欢精神世界”，从第四段“Reznikoff's faith in the facts of the case takes on an intensity no less social than spiritual…”可以看出，他对社会方面的热衷不比精神世界差，因此该选项也不符合原文；C“令人惊讶的是Reznikoff能写出充满关切的诗歌”，文章提到“If this suggests a congenital optimism about the law, it made for astonishingly care-filled poetry.”(如果这暗示着对法律天生的乐观的话，这种天赋正是为了令人惊讶的充满关切诗歌而有的。)虽然提到“令人惊讶”，但不是说他可以写出诗歌令人惊讶，因此也不符合原文；D“Reznikoff的诗歌写作很大程度上受其法律经验的影响”，其实，整个段落讲述了虽然他年青时代不热衷法律，但是在其写作中处处受法律的影响，因此D符合原文，是正确答案。
