1、Section_Project原文呈现Robert Burns and his poetryRobert Burns, Scotlandssupreme literary hero, was born in Alloway, Scotland in 1759. Burns had a reputation for being funny and pleasant to be around. However, he came from a poor family with many debts， and did not ever make a lot of money.People say th

After it was published, he became famous nationwide. Then he moved to Edinburgh, the capital and largest urban centre of Sc
3、otland. Burns was by then a famous poet, but was not any richer and had to earn his income by farming.A hard life and weak health made Robert Burnss life short. He died at the age of 37 in 1796. All of Scotland mourned Burnss death, and afterwards many people donated money to support his widow and c

5、在苏格兰的阿洛韦。彭斯有待人风趣、友好的好名声。但是，他出生在一个负债累累的贫困家庭，而且从来没有挣到过很多钱。人们说彭斯的第一位恋人内莉柯克帕特里克鼓励他创作诗歌。他最受欢迎的诗歌中的两首致小鼠和圣集都出现在他的第一本诗集中。在他的第一本诗集出版后，他闻名全国。然后，他搬到了既是苏格兰首府又是苏格兰最大城市的爱丁堡。彭斯是当时有名的诗人，但他并没有比以前富裕多少，不得不靠做农活维持生计。艰辛的生活和虚弱的体质缩短了彭斯的生命。他于1796年去世，享年37岁。整个苏格兰都哀悼他的逝世，随后许多人捐款资助他的遗孀和孩子们。There is a statue of Burns in George
6、Square in Glasgow, Scotland. When this monument in honour of him was first shown to the public in 1877, the day was declared a holiday and about 30,000 people came out to watch. From this we can see how much the Scottish people adored Burns. The house in Alloway where Burns was born is now a museum
7、of his life and work.Burns belonged to a group of poets (including John Keats and William Wordsworth) called the Romantic poets. The Romantic Movement started around 1780 and lasted until about 1830. The poetry of this period often focuses on concepts like freedom and beauty, and tends to use imagin

9、格兰格拉斯哥的乔治广场有一尊彭斯的塑像。这座纪念彭斯的塑像于1877年首次对公众展出，那一天被定为假日，约有三万人出来观看。由此，我们可以看出苏格兰人是多么地崇拜彭斯。位于阿洛韦彭斯出生的房子，现在是展示他生平和作品的博物馆。,彭斯属于一个被称为“浪漫主义诗人”的诗人团体(包括约翰济慈和威廉华兹华斯)。浪漫主义运动始于1780年左右，大约持续至1830年。这一时期的诗歌通常关注比如像自由和美丽这样的概念，并且倾向于运用想象和触及强烈的情感。The Romantic poets were very interested in nature, and often used it as a them
10、e in their poetry. This is probably why Burns talked about a rose in his famous poem, A Red, Red Rose. He wrote in the same way the Scottish people spoke back then, which explains why the spelling looks rather strange. Note how love is spelt luve， how well is spelt weel and how go is spelt gang. The
11、 poem was published in 1794 and, like many of Burnss poems, it was intended to be a song. Burns divided this poem into four short sections consisting of four lines each. These sections in a poem are like paragraphs in an article. The second and fourth lines of each section rhyme.Poetry is usually fu
12、ll of symbols, and A Red, Red Rose is no different. With the line O my Luves like a red, red rose， he compares the girl he loves to a red rose. He goes on to compare her to a song in the lines O my Luves like the melodie/Thats sweetly playd intune！ When he mentions the sands o life in the third sect
13、ion, he is swearing that his love will never fade as long as he lives. Fare thee weel in the last section of the poem means farewell， or goodbye. Yet, though he is saying goodbye to his love, he promises to come to see her again, even if he has to travel ten thousand miles.He wrote in the same way .

16、了“gang”。这首诗发表于1794年，如同彭斯的许多诗歌一样，这首诗本来是作为一首歌的。彭斯将这首诗分为四个小节，每节由四行组成。诗歌中的节就像文章里的段落。每一节的第二行和第四行押韵。,诗歌通常充满意象，一朵红红的玫瑰也不例外。在“啊，我的爱人像一朵红红的玫瑰”中，他把他所爱的姑娘比作一朵红玫瑰。在“啊，我的爱人像一首乐曲/演奏得甜美而合拍！”中，他继而又将他的爱人比作一首歌曲。彭斯在第三节里提到了“生命的流沙”，他这是在立下誓言，只要生命不停歇，他的爱就永远不会褪去。诗歌最后一节中的“Fare thee weel”意思是“别了”或“再见”。虽然他是在向他的爱人说再见，但他许诺一定会再来看

64、eme in Youngs latest collection, FallHigher. The new collection was published in April, just days after the poet received a lifesaving heart transplant (移植) after about a decade of living with a weakening heart condition.Young, whose work is often frank and rich in twisted humor, tells NPRs Renee Mo
65、ntagne that as he recovers from his operation, hes also slowly returning to his everyday writing habits.“Im getting back to it，” Young says, “not with the sort of concentration or the sort of flame that I look forward to in the future, but I am blackening some pages.”And on those blackened pages you
66、ll find poems like “How Grasp Green”， which carries themes of springtime and rebirth. Its one of the first poems Young has written since his transplant.Its easy to spot clues (线索) to Youngs awful health situation in the lines of his poetry.FallHighers “Vintage” opens with “Because I will die soon, I
67、 fall asleep, during the lecture on the ongoing emergency.” And the poem “The Rhythms Pronounce Themselves Then Vanish” published in TheNewYorker in February opens with the CT scan that reveals Youngs heart condition.Hearts tend to come up a lot in poetry, and thats especially true of Youngs work, w
68、hich has clearly been influenced by the troubles of his own heart.“A lot of times, its not just a metaphor (暗喻)，” Young says. “For me, its an actual concern because Ive been living with this disease for over 10 years. My father died of heart problems when he was 49, so its been a sort of shadowy con
69、cern for me through my whole life.”But Youngs poems also deal with more abstract matters of the heart. He wrote FallHighers “Late Valentine” for his wife. “Weve been married since late November and most of it has been spent in the hospital，” Young talks of his marriage to poet Laurie Saurborn Young,
70、 who says “Later Valentine is very sweet.”His work also touches on themes of randomness and fate two factors that contributed to him getting a second chance in the form of transplanting a new heart from a 22yearold student. “I just feel enormous gratitude，” he talks of his donor (捐献者). “He gave me a
71、 heart so Im still alive . Im sure Im going to think of this person for the rest of my life.”1We can learn from the text that Young _.Awas born with heart diseaseBreceived a heart transplant in FebruaryCmarried a female poet after he wrote “Late Valentine”Dwrote a poem for his wife in his collection
72、解析：选D推理判断题。根据第九段的“He wrote FallHighersLate Valentine for his wife.”可知，诗人Dean Young在他的诗集中给他的妻子写了一首诗。2What does the writer try to say in Paragraph 3?AThe writer had less enthusiasm than before, and he was disappointed.BThe writer expected some bright future, but he was disappointed.CThe writer devoted
73、 more time to poems, so he grasped a good chance.DThe writer wrote poems with less enthusiasm, so he quitted for a while.解析：选A段落大意题。从本段的“not with the sort of .blackening some pages”可知，作者是想说诗人Dean Young患有心脏病，因此对生活的热情有所降低，充满了失望。3Which of the following statements is TRUE?A“How Grasp Green” is the first
74、 poem in FallHigher.BYoung began all his poems with his illness.CYoungs father died when Young was 49 years old.DYoungs health situation is mentioned in his poetry.解析：选D细节理解题。从第五段“Its easy to spot clues (线索) to Youngs awful health situation in the lines of his poetry.”可看出D项正确。4When talking about his
75、 present life, Young seems to be _.AgratefulBpessimisticCguilty Dconsiderate解析：选A推理判断题。从文章最后一段的“I just feel enormous gratitude， he talks of his donor (捐献者) .”可知，诗人Dean Young怀有一颗感恩的心。.语法填空There are lots of experiences in our life.
