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.
Goethe’s work shows a lack of________.
选项 A、a vision of reality
B、repetitions
C、formal polish
D、knowledge of Shakespeare
答案C
解析 根据第一段末尾：“As a result，nearly all his works have serious flaw of structure，of inconsistency，of excesses and redundancies and externalities”可知，歌德的诗歌在结构、连贯性方面存在缺陷，并且过于冗长，因此他的诗歌缺乏规范的修饰。故正确答案为C。
