When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advo cates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal. With regard to futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever futurist poetry may be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right—it can hardly be classed as literature.
This, in brief, is what the futurist says: for a century, past conditions of life have been conditionally speeding up, till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed. Consequently, our feelings, thoughts, and emotions have undergone a corresponding change.
This speeding up of life, says the futurist, requires a new form of expression. We must speed up our literature too, if we want to interpret modern press. We must pour out a large stream of essential words, unhampered by stops, or qualifying adjectives, or finite verbs. Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them; we must use many sizes of type and different coloured inks on the same page, and shorten or lengthen words at will.
Certainly their description of battles are confused. But it is a little upsetting to read in the ex planatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish officer and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river—and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers: "Pluff! Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms".
This, though it fulfils the laws and requirements of futurist poetry, can hardly be classed as literature. All the same, no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition: that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression. The whole question is really this: have we essentially changed?
The author believes that futurist poetry is______.
选项
A、an indication of a basic change in human nature
B、based on reasonable principles
C、fresh and acceptable to ordinary people
D、more of a transient phenomenon than literature
答案
D
解析
推断题。通读全文,根据第一段中的With regard to futurist poetry…it can hardly be classed as literature.和最后一段This…can hardly be classed as literature.可知,作者反复声明未来主义诗歌不是文学。最后一句The whole question is really this:have we essentially changed?作者用反问句形式表达肯定的观点:人们没有变化。由以上分析可推断作者认为未来主义诗歌是一种暂时的现象,并非文学,所以答案应该是D。
