People seldom feel neutral about poetry(诗). Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitution for food, shelter, and love. It isn’t. Words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for life itself and its human experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other hand, that poetry is only words and good for nothing. That’s not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words—in poetry or in life—but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is, in fact, more than just words. It is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily ex- tend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.
One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings. Poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetry’s most insistent merits involves its attempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about? Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, "Yes, that is just what it is like; I know exactly what that line means but I’ve never been able to express it so well " Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy.
"People seldom feel neutral about poetry" (in Para. 1) in this context means that______.
选项
A、few people think that poetry is neutral
B、people always differ in their views about poetry
C、people rarely take a biased opinion about poetry
D、people generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally useless
答案
D
解析
本题考查对第一段第一句的理解,关键是对neutral 一词的理解。如果考生不认识这个词,则必须通过阅读下面的几句话来猜测。从本段的第二句话可以看出,有些人非常热爱诗歌。而根据第五句话,有些人又很不喜欢诗歌。由此可知第一句话是对这两种现象的概括:人们很少对诗歌持中立的态度,要么认为诗歌非常重要,要么认为毫无用处,答案是 D。A“没有多少人认为诗歌是中立的”把原句中用来形容人们的态度的neutral 用来指诗歌,偷换了概念。B“人们对于诗歌总是有不同的观点”和C “人们很少对诗歌产生有偏颇的观点”都不能正确地反映neutral 的含义。
