Emily Dickinson is one of the greatest American poets. She was born in a typical New England village in Massachusetts on December 10, 1830. She was the second child of the family. (33)She died in the same house 56 years later. During her lifetime, she never left her native land. She left her home state only once. She left her village very few times. And after 1872, she rarely left her house and yard. (34)In the last years of her life she retreated to a smaller and smaller circle of family and friends. In those later years she dressed in white, avoided strangers, and communicated chiefly through notes and poems even with intimates. The doctor who attended her illness was allowed to "examine" her from another room, seeing her walk by an opened door. She was thought of as a "strange" figure in her home village. (35)When she died on May 15, 1886, she was unknown to the rest of the world. Only seven of her poems had appeared in print. But to think of Emily Dickinson only as a strange figure is a serious mistake. She lived simply and deliberately. She faced the essential facts of life. According to Henry James, a famous American novelist, she was one of those on whom nothing was lost, and only by thus living could Dickinson manage both to fulfill her obligations as a daughter, a sister, and a house keeper and to write on the average one poem a day. She read only a few books but knew them deeply. Her poems are simple but remarkably rich. (35)Not until the 1950s was she recognized as one of the greatest American poets.
33. How long did Emily Dickinson live in the house where she was born?
34. What can we know about Emily Dickinson in the last years of her life?
35. When was Emily Dickinson widely recognized as one of the greatest American poets?
选项
A、Almost all her life.
B、Less than half of her life.
C、About 30 years.
D、More than a third of her life.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。本题问的是艾米莉·狄金森在她出生的房子里住了多久。短文开头提到了Dickinson在56年之后死在了她出生的房子里。在她的一生中,她从来没有离开过她的祖国,她仅仅离开她的家乡一次,她只离开她的村庄几次,所以是接近一生的时间。
