But this doesnt come easily for someone who comes from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America. When she

26、e who love it sometimes give the impression that it is a satisfactory substitute (代用品) for food, shelter, and love. It isnt.

27、 only words and good for nothing. Thats not true either. It is easy to become prevented by wordsin poetry or in lifebut when words represent and recreate true human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important.

28、s, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness (意识) of themselves, and their range of human feelings.

I know exactly what that line means but Ive never been able to express it so well.”Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds

34、captures real human feelings答案：D推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可推知，D项(诗歌可以抓住人类的真实情感)和原文意思相符。故选D。7According to the author, poetry _.Ais anything but patterns of linesBis the poets feelings about wordsCis more than just wordsDis an experiment on the use of words答案：C细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Poetry is, in fact, more than just wor
