“We have Dante,Shakespeare and Du Fu.These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard professor Stephen Owen.Even though scholars studying Chinese history and culture often compare Du Fu to Dante and Shakespeare,this famous Chinese poet and thinker,who is also greatly respected in East Asian cultures,is still not very well-known in the West.
However,with the screening of Du Fu:China’s Greatest Poet,the first English-language documentary featuring about the poet,the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to come to an end.
From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges and down to the forested hills of Hunan Province,Michael Wood,the documentary presenter,travelled to various places,including the poet’s birthplace in Gongyi,Henan Province,the capital of Tang Dynasty Chang’an (now Xi’an),and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu,Southwest China.
Along the way,he met and talked to ordinary people,dancers and musicians.They helped to tell the interesting stories of the poet whose writings have been heard for many centuries,
speaking for the pain of ordinary people caught in war,starvation (饥饿),and natural disasters.
“Chinese people really value the recording of history,and Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting history in his poetry.That’s because historical events are reflected in his own life and spiritual journey,” noted Zeng,a professor of ancient Chinese literature at a famous university of China.
“Du’s poetry reflects the experience and transforms it,so it becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of the Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen,who in 2016 completed an eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国唐代著名诗人杜甫。
(　　)1.What can we know about Du Fu’s poetry from the passage
[A]It is only popular in China.
[B]It focuses on the joy of life.
[C]It is not well-known in the West.
[D]It is simple and easy to understand.
(　　)2.What did Michael Wood do to explore for the documentary
[A]Discussed with modern poets and scholars.
[B]Visited historical sites significant to Du Fu’s life.
[C]Analysed Du Fu’s influence in Western literature.
[D]Compared Western poetic styles with Eastern ones.
(　　)3.What does Stephen Owen’s eight-year-long project involve
[A]Publishing a book about Du Fu.
[B]Translating Du Fu’s poems into English.
[C]Studying the development of Chinese poetry.
[D]Evaluating the effects of history on Du Fu’s creation.
(　　)4.What is the purpose of this passage
[A]To highlight the importance of Du Fu’s poetry.
[B]To show some little-known facts about Du Fu.
[C]To discuss the link between culture and literature.
[D]To introduce the English documentary about poetry.Unit 4　课时作业(四)

Two hundred years ago,the English poet William Wordsworth wrote I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,a poem that was 　1　 when he came across a field of daffodils (水仙花).It expresses a basic spirit of early English Romanticism.

Deb Alma has opened a new branch of the Poetry Pharmacy (诗歌药房) on London’s famous Oxford Street,offering literary aid for problems with emotions (情绪) like broken hearts,sorrow,or anxiety.The shop provides comfort and encouragement through poetry and other books,reflecting poetry’s historical role in dealing with deep emotions during events like weddings and breakups.
Though uncommon in the UK education,poetry’s popularity has grown due to “instapoetry” (网络诗歌),with some famous writers attracting young readers.The poetic interest further increased with a new translation of Homer’s Epics and contributions from some artists.
The London Poetry Pharmacy,located above a store,features a collection of colourful books and a fun arrangement of “prescriptions” (处方) for feelings like depression and anxiety.This unique idea has become a big hit on social media,bringing in many different people who usually wouldn’t read poetry.
Alma,who rediscovered her passion for poetry during her 40s while studying for a creative writing MA,started by touring as the “Emergency Poet” in a 1950s ambulance,giving out poems throughout the UK.She avoided offering advice and instead chose to gift carefully chosen words.
Even though people were worried at first,the Poetry Pharmacy’s special ideas and charm have gotten a lot of attention.The shop is very popular on some social media,starting discussions about whether easy-to-read instapoetry is better than traditional poems.
Dr J T Welsch from University of York was doubtful about instapoetry at first.However,
he now uses it in his classes because he sees it helps make poetry easier to understand and broadens what poetry can be.Alma’s aim is to get poetry closer to those seeking meaning in a busy world.
Both Poetry Pharmacy locations try to create a sense of community through poetry,where visitors connect with poems in a comfortable and personal setting.Right now,the lively Poetry Pharmacy shows her big dream,representing a cultural centre in the middle of the city.

“We have Dante,Shakespeare and Du Fu.These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard professor Stephen Owen.Even though scholars studying Chinese history and culture often compare Du Fu to Dante and Shakespeare,this famous Chinese poet and thinker,who is also greatly respected in East Asian cultures,is still not very well-known in the West.
However,with the screening of Du Fu:China’s Greatest Poet,the first English-language documentary featuring about the poet,the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to come to an end.
From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges and down to the forested hills of Hunan Province,Michael Wood,the documentary presenter,travelled to various places,including the poet’s birthplace in Gongyi,Henan Province,the capital of Tang Dynasty Chang’an (now Xi’an),and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu,Southwest China.
Along the way,he met and talked to ordinary people,dancers and musicians.They helped to tell the interesting stories of the poet whose writings have been heard for many centuries,
speaking for the pain of ordinary people caught in war,starvation (饥饿),and natural disasters.
“Chinese people really value the recording of history,and Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting history in his poetry.That’s because historical events are reflected in his own life and spiritual journey,” noted Zeng,a professor of ancient Chinese literature at a famous university of China.
“Du’s poetry reflects the experience and transforms it,so it becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of the Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen,who in 2016 completed an eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国唐代著名诗人杜甫。
(　　)1.What can we know about Du Fu’s poetry from the passage
[A]It is only popular in China.
[B]It focuses on the joy of life.
[C]It is not well-known in the West.
[D]It is simple and easy to understand.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Even though scholars studying...is still not very well-known in the West.”可知,尽管研究中国历史和文化的学者经常将杜甫与但丁和莎士比亚相提并论,但这位在东亚文化中也备受推崇的著名中国诗人兼思想家在西方仍然鲜为人知。据此可知,杜甫的诗歌在西方并不太知名。故选C。
(　　)2.What did Michael Wood do to explore for the documentary
[A]Discussed with modern poets and scholars.
[B]Visited historical sites significant to Du Fu’s life.
[C]Analysed Du Fu’s influence in Western literature.
[D]Compared Western poetic styles with Eastern ones.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,从黄河到长江三峡,再到湖南省的森林丘陵,纪录片主持人Michael Wood游历了许多地方,包括诗人的出生地河南省巩义、唐朝都城长安(今西安)和中国西南部城市成都的杜甫草堂,据此可知,Michael Wood参观了对于杜甫生平具有重要意义的历史遗址。故选B。
(　　)3.What does Stephen Owen’s eight-year-long project involve
[A]Publishing a book about Du Fu.
[B]Translating Du Fu’s poems into English.
[C]Studying the development of Chinese poetry.
[D]Evaluating the effects of history on Du Fu’s creation.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知,Stephen Owen认为,杜甫的诗歌反映并转化了这种体验,因此它成了中国文化情感词汇的一部分;他于2016年完成了一项为期八年的项目,将杜甫的1 400首诗歌翻译成英文。据此可知,Stephen Owen的八年项目是将杜甫的1 400首诗翻译成英文。故选B。
(　　)4.What is the purpose of this passage
[A]To highlight the importance of Du Fu’s poetry.
[B]To show some little-known facts about Du Fu.
[C]To discuss the link between culture and literature.
[D]To introduce the English documentary about poetry.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,尽管研究中国历史和文化的学者经常将杜甫与但丁和莎士比亚相提并论,但这位在东亚文化中也备受推崇的著名中国诗人兼思想家在西方仍然鲜为人知。再结合第二段内容可知,随着首部关于杜甫的英文纪录片《杜甫:中国最伟大的诗人》的上映,杜甫作为中国保存最完好的文学秘密的日子似乎走到了尽头。结合全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了中国唐代诗人杜甫的诗歌和他在中国及西方的影响力,强调了杜甫的诗歌的重要性。故选A。
