How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and dull.
In expressing their thoughts, great writers are able______.
选项
A、to confuse the readers
B、to move men to tears
C、to move our actions
D、to puzzle our feelings
答案
B
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问在表达思想情感时,伟大的作家们能够做什么。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以了解到这一问题是针对文章最后一段提出的。文章最后一段指出,伟大的作家不仅有伟大的思想,而且还能用充满魅力的词语将其思想表达出来,打动人们的思想和感情,这种充满魅力的语言运用就是我们所说的文学形式。尤为重要的是,真正的诗人是语言大师,他能用如歌般的词语将自己的意思表达出来,这些词语的使用和联系能使人感动得落泪。因此,A、C、D三个选项在原文中找不到任何根据。而the real poet应当属于great writers的范围,本题的正确答案应选B“他们能够使人们感动得落泪”。
