问题     Unlike the carefully weighed and planned compositions of Dante, Goethe’s writings always have a sense of immediacy and enthusiasm. He was a constant experimenter with life, with ideas and with forms of writing. For the same reason, his works seldom have the qualities of finish or formal beauty which distinguish the masterpieces of Dante and Virgil. He came to love the beauties of classicism, but it was never an essential part of his make-up. Instead, the urgency of the moment, the spirit of the thing, guided his pen. As a result, nearly all his works have serious flaw of structure, of inconsistencies, of excesses and redundancies and extremities.
    In a large sense, Goethe represents the fullest development of the romanticism. It has been argued that he should not be so designated because he so clearly matured and outgrew the kind of romanticism exhibited by Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats. Shelley and Keats died young; Wordsworth lived narrowly and abandoned his early attitudes. In contrast, Goethe lived abundantly and developed his faith in the spirit, his understanding of nature and human nature, and his reliance on feelings as man’s essential motivating force. The result was an all-encompassing vision of reality and a philosophy of life broader and deeper than the partial visions and attitudes of other romanticists. Yet the spirit of youthfulness, the impatience with close reasoning or "logic chopping" , and the continued faith in nature remained his to the end, together with an occasional waywardness1 and impulsiveness and a disregard of artistic or logical propriety, which savor strongly of romantic individualism. Since so many twentieth century thoughts and attitudes are similarly based on the stimulus of the Romantic Movement. Goethe stands as particularly the poet of the modern man as Dante stood for medieval man and as Shakespeare for the man of the Renaissance.
A characteristic of romanticism NOT mentioned in this passage is________.
选项 A、interest in nature
B、modernity of ideas
C、youthful attitude
D、simplicity of language
答案D
解析 根据第二段对浪漫主义诗歌特点的描述可知，D项中“语言的简洁”没有被提及，因此D为正确答案。A项中“对自然的兴趣”，B项中“观点的现代性”，C项中“年轻的精神”均在文章中提到。
