问题     For Emily Dickinson there were three worlds, and she lived in all of them, making them the substance of everything that she thought and wrote. There was the world of nature, the things and the creatures that she saw, heard, felt about her, there was the "estate" that was the world of friendship. And there was the world of the unseen and unheard. From her youth she was looked upon as different. She was direct, impulsive, original, and the droll wit who said unconventional things which others thought but dared not speak, and said them incomparably well. The characteristics which made her inscrutable to those who knew her continue to bewilder and surprise, for she lived by paradoxes.
    Certainly the greatest paradox was the fact that the three most pervasive friendships were the most elusive. She saw the Reverend Charles Wadsworth of Philadelphia but three or four times in the course of her life, and then briefly, yet her admiration of him as an ideal and her yearning for him as a person were of us surpassed importance in her growth as a poet. She sought out for professional advice the critic and publicist Thomas Wentworth Higginson and invited his aid as mentor for more than twenty years, though she never once adopted any counsel he dared to hazard. In the last decade of her life, she came to be a warm admirer of the poet and novelist Helen Hunt Jackson, the only qualified judge among Emily Dickinson’s contemporaries who believed her to be a great poet, yet Emily Dickinson steadfastly refused to publish even though Mrs. Jackson’ s importunity was insistent.
The author’s attitude toward Emily Dickinson is ______.
选项 A、ironic
B、distant
C、amused
D、respectful
答案D
解析 作者对埃米莉·迪更生的态度是尊敬的态度。A(ironic讽刺的)，B (distant冷淡的，疏远的)，C(amused表示愉快的，顽皮的)表示的态度在文中都看不出来。在此提供一个表明作者尊敬埃米莉·迪更生的线索：他批评杰克逊夫人为了发表迪更生的诗歌纠缠不休，隐含了他对迪更生的尊敬。当然有文学常识的人一眼就能选出答案D。
