To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean's breast.
As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in midocean,but where it meets land,its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences,too:unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,a kind of subocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities:sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occasions rough and wild;always it is strong and striking.
.Unlike real inland seas,the Atlantic Ocean is ________.
A.always energetic
B.lacking in liveliness
C.shaped like a square
D.favored by ancient poets
解析 细节理解题。从第一段中的“Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.”可知,liveliness(精力充沛,活跃)与energetic近义,故答案为A项。
