问题     A lyric is a subjective poem of intense personal emotion whose principal quality is its musical form. Poe, master of the lyric, was led to explain all poetry as the rhythmical creation of beauty in words. Because great poetry is often pure music, haunting melody, and chiming syllables, the reader should not glance through poetry as he read his newspaper or the latest magazine—skipping a word here and a line there, and still hope to get what the author had intended for him. Poetry being music, like all other forms of music, it gains its meaning when interpreted by the human voice.
    It is the special function of lyrical poetry to give pleasure through this musical quality no less than through fine contemplation of beauty it inspires—beauty of thought, of feeling, of expression, and of technical skill. But poetry is more than a great pleasure. It should also be an outlet for our own unspoken thoughts and our varied moods. It makes articulate our choked-up passageways of speech, giving adequate expression to our pent-up loves and joys and glories, and furnishes release and relief to our fears, grieves and sorrows. A great poet takes our half-formed thoughts, or suppressed moods, our crushed desires, and needs, and leads them out into the open, endowing them with a harmony, and completeness ...
    Great verse can help to vitalize our thinking about the commonplace and elemental in life, and can idealize and give meaning to the simplest things in creation. Listen to Tennyson:
    Flower in the crannied wall,
    I pluck you out of the crannies,
    I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
    Little flower—but if I could understand,
    What you are, root and all, and all in all,
    I should know what God and man is.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
选项 A、The lyric is beautiful poetry of action and story.
B、The most important feature of the lyric is its musical form.
C、Poetry gains its meaning when read silently and carefully.
D、Poe defined all poetry as pure music with chiming syllables.
答案B
解析 细节题。根据第一段首句“A lyric is a subjective poem of intense personal emotion whose principal quality is its musical form”可知，抒情诗并非是关于行为和故事的美丽诗歌，而是关于强烈个人情感的诗歌，可排除A。由第一段尾句“it gains its meaning when interpreted by the human voice”可知，当被人们解读的时候，它会增加自身的含义，可排除C。由第一段第三句"great poetry is often pure music，haunting melody，and chiming syllables”可知并不是所有的诗歌都是包含和谐音节的纯粹音乐，排除D，故选B。
