问题 No other contemporary poet’s work has such a well-earned reputation for (i)______, and there are few whose moral vision is so imperiously unsparing. Of late, however, the almost belligerent demands of his severe and densely forbidding poetry have taken an improbable turn. This new collection is the poet’s fourth book in six years—an ample output even for poets of sunny disposition, let alone for one of such(ii)______over the previous 50 years. Yet for all his newfound(iii)______, his poetry is as thorny as ever.

选项 A、 
B、 
C、 
D、 
E、 

答案 C

解析 Since the author of the paragraph has described the poet’s reputation as "well-earned," the correct completion for Blank(i)must be something that is consistent with what the rest of the passage says about the poet’s work. Only "near impenetrability" fulfills this requirement, since the next sentence tells us that the poet’s work is "severe" and "densely forbidding," which rule out both accessibility and frivolity. The Blank(ii)completion must contrast with "ample output," and of the available options, only "penitential austerity" does so. Finally, the word in Blank(iii), since it is preceded by "newfound," must refer to the change that has occurred in the poet’s work. The change the paragraph has described is an increase in output, so "volubility" is the correct choice.
