[D] Because the theme of life is worth thinking for a poet. 篇章剖析： 这篇文章介绍了美国诗人 Ashbery 和其诗歌的特点，文章虽然是以两个诗人对比的形式写作的，但是却对 Ashbery 着墨偏多，另外一个诗人洛厄尔只是一个陪衬而已。 第一段讲述了两个诗人竞争美国最伟大诗人的称号；第二段第三段都是对两位诗人作品特点的描述；第四段讲述他们对生活的不同态度。 词汇注释： vie envision , 预想 dice strew , 点缀 , 撒满 wryly , 表情冷漠地 improvise digressive , 枝节的 cento n. 杂烩 , 摘录 pantoum n.(根据隔行同韵的马来诗体改编的 ) 由隔行同韵的四行诗节组成的诗 untrammel , 无阻碍的 tepid , 温热的 , 不太热烈的 难句突破： (1) In this edition of his later poems, a substantial gathering of verses selected from six volumes published over the past 20 years, his poetry does not so much consist of themes to be explored as ic routines to be improvised.

[主体句式 ] This is … but he … [结构分析 ] 这是一个并列句，后面分句成份较为复杂，带有一 个不定式短语作目的状语， as 引导成分修饰的是整个分句。 [句子译文 ] 虽然这是诗人的惯用手法，但他却把这些比喻单独挑出来，以突出诗里面明喻这个概念。 比如 “紫罗兰纵声开放 / 宛如空桶里的一句毒誓 ”。 题目分析： word “substantial” (Line 4, Paragraph 1) most probably means__ ___. 1. “Substantial”这个词最有可能的意思是_____。 [A] serious [A] 严肃的。 [B] grand [B] 宏大的。 [C] heroic [C] 英雄的。 [D] tragic [D] 悲剧的。 [答案 ] B [分析 ] 猜词题。 根据上下文来断定该词的意思，这个。
