6．According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats' life?

　　A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater.

　　B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.

　　C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.

　　D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet可知，Yeats应该是在40岁之后，也就是大约1910s开始写作大量优秀的诗歌。]

　　7．What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden's lines?

　　A．Envy.

　　B．Sympathy.

　　C．Emptiness.

　　D．Admiration.

　　答案　D　[推理判断题。注意引文是在说Yeats在诗歌文学上取得巨大成就的时候提及的，自然应该是对其诗歌方面的造诣表示钦佩和羡慕。]

　　8．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A．Yeats was 58 years old when he won the Nobel Prize.

　　B．Yeats settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.

　　C．His early theatrical experiments were successful at the beginning.

　　D．He had not enjoyed a major public life all Yeats' life.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。由全文第一句和第四段的第一句可知，当他获得诺贝尔奖时，应为1923－1865＝58岁。故选A项。]
