His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry.‎ Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.‎ Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.‎ He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would who probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet Auden wrote, among others, the following liners:‎ Earth, receive an honored guest:‎ William Yeats is laid to rest.‎ Let the Irish vessel (船) lie Emptied of its poetry.‎ ‎24. Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family?‎ A. It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter.‎ B. It was shocked by Yeats’s choice.‎ C. It was a typically wealthy family.‎ D. It had an artistic atmosphere.‎ ‎25. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden’s lines?‎ A. Envy. B. Admiration. C. Emptiness. D. Sympathy.‎ ‎ 26. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Yeats’ literary achievements. B. Yeats’ historical influence.‎ C. Yeats’ artistic ambition. D. Yeats’ national honor.‎ ‎ C Learning Chinese could be one of the most important decisions you ever make. Chinese is becoming the language to learn in the 21st century. With the world’s largest population and a rapidly growing middle class, China stands to become the engine of the world’s economy in the coming years. This will make learning Chinese very important for people in many industries, or for those of us who wish to visit China or learn from its culture and history.‎ There is an ongoing effort to modernize the writing system and standardize the language. An increasing number of people learning Chinese are learning the Mandarin, so unless you absolutely need to learn another dialect (such as Cantonese), be sure you are studying Mandarin.‎ For native English speakers Chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn. The vocabulary is wholly unfamiliar and unlike anything we know. In addition, in the Chinese tone system, words are spoken in rising or falling tones, which help to distinguish between them. Furthermore, there is the Chinese writing system--- a collection of thousands of individual ideograms (表意文字), or symbols, which represent a word or an idea. These ideograms have no phonetic value---that is to say, we can’t tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written. There is a method to present written Chinese in a phonetic script called pinyin. If you are learning Chinese, you’ll be working with this pinyin system, but the beauty of the traditional writing system shouldn’t be passed up. All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us. Yet, for a determined learner, there’s always a way to overcome it.‎ 27. Learning Chinese is becoming more and more important, because ______.‎ A. Chinese engines are very welcome B. China has the world’s largest population A. there are more and more rich people in China B. China has become important to the world economy 27. From the text we can learn that ___________.‎ A. the author thinks Chinese is as difficult as English B. the author is interested in the Chinese language and its culture C. foreign languages can play a great role in industrial development D. as long as the pinyin system is learned well, one can learn Chinese well 28. The last paragraph mainly tells us about ____________.‎ A. the difficulties of learning Chinese B. the advantages of learning Chinese C. the Chinese tone system D. the Chinese writing system 29. What would be probably written following this text?‎ A. The sources of Chinese characters.‎ B. The importance of learning Chinese.‎ C. The advice on how to learn Chinese.‎ D. The difficulties of learning other languages.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How can you make a difference in your life?‎ As the famous poem Youth has written “Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind.”But how can you make a difference in your life?‎ ‎31..The skills of learning, the knowledge of learning as well as the process of learning are all wealth and treasures in our life, which make your simple life interesting.
