was born in dublin on june 13,1865. his childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. later, yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. in fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his familyboth his father and his brother were painters. but he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. he set himself the fresh task in founding an irish national theatre in the late 1890s.his early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning. he didnt lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.compared with his dramatic works, yeatss poems attract much admiring notice.the subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging. though yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. as his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.he had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the nobel prize in 1923.yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life. had yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. after yeatss death in 1939, wh. auden wrote, among others, the following lines：earth，receive an honoured guest：william yeats is laid to rest.let the irish vessel (船) lieemptied of its

noble prize.答案：c。细节理解题。根据短文第二段第二句话“he set himself.theatre in the late 1890s.”可知a项不对。根据第三段第三句话“though yeats.to them”可知，b项不对。根据第三段最后一句话可知，d项不对。由此可知c项正确。3what kind of feeling is expressed in wh.audens lines?aenvy. bsympathy. cemptiness. dadmiration.答案：d。推理判断题。envy忌妒；sympathy同情；emptiness空虚；admiration敬佩，钦佩。auden的诗词中有honored guest，最尊敬的客人，可知auden是敬佩叶慈的。4what is the passage mainly about?a. yeatss
