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、After Henry James referred highly to her.
B、After seven of her poems were published.
C、During the last years of her life.
D、After many years of her death.
答案
D
解析
细节推断题。短文指出,直到20世纪50年代她才被人们普遍认为是美国最伟大的诗人之一,而她于1886年去世,所以推断是她去世很多年之后。
