William Butler Yeats，a most famous Irish writer，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 family—both his father and his brother were painters.But he finally settled on literature，particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in 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 favourably at the beginning.He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works，Yeats' 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 lift 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 Yeats' death in 1939，W.H.Auden wrote，among others，the following lines：
Earth，receive an honoured guest： William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie. Emptied of its poetry.
31．Which of the following can describe Yeats' family? A．It filled Yeats' childhood with laughter. B．It was shocked by Yeats' choice. C．It was a typically wealthy family. D．It had an artistic atmosphere.
32．According to the passage，what do we know about Yeats'life? A．Yeats founded the first Irish theatre. B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D．Yeats was not favoured by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize. 33．What kind of feeling is expressed in W．H.Auden's lines? A．Envy. B．Sympathy. C．Emptiness. D．Admiration.
34．What is the passage mainly about? A．Yeats' literary achievements. B．Yeats' historical influence. C．Yeats' artistic ambition. D．Yeats' national honour. B
WASHINGTON—School lunches have been called many things, but a group of retired military officers is giving them a new label: national security threat.
That's not a reference to the mystery meat served up in the cafeteria line either. The retired officers are saying that school lunches have helped make the nation's young people so fat that fewer of them can meet the military's physical fitness standards, and recruitment will be difficult.
A new report being released on Tuesday says more than 9 million young adults, or 27 per cent of all Americans ages 17 to 24, are too overweight to join the military. Now, the officers are advocating for passage of a wide－ranging nutrition bill that aims to make the nation's school lunches healthier.
The military group acknowledges that other things keep young adults out of the armed services, such as a criminal record or the lack of a high school diploma. But weight problems that have worsened over the past 15 years are now the leading medical reason that recruits are rejected. Although all branches of the military now meet or exceed recruitment goals, retired Navy Rear Adm. James Barnett Jr., a member of the officers group, says the obesity trend could affect that. “When over a quarter of young adults are too fat to fight, we need to take notice，” Barnett said. He noted that national security in the year 2030 is “absolutely dependent” on reversing child obesity rates. This isn't the first time the military has gotten involved in the debate over school
lunches. During World War Ⅱ， military leaders had the opposite problem, reporting that many recruits were rejected because of stunted growth and inadequate nutrition. After the war, military leaders pushed Congress to establish the national school lunch programme so children would grow up healthier.
Today, the group is urging Congress to eliminate junk food and high－calorie beverages from schools, put more money into the school lunch programme and develop new strategies that help children develop healthier habits.
35. What is the main problem of the lunches in schools according to the military officers?
A．The meat in the lunches is mysterious. B．The lunches are too expensive. C．The lunches contain too much fat.
D．There is inadequate nutrition in the lunches.
36. The underlined word “obesity” in Paragraph 5 means “________”. A．slow in mind B．state of being fat
C．quick in movement D．lack of confidence 37. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The lunches in American schools are not very healthy.
B．During World War Ⅱ， many people could not join the army because of overweight. C．According to the author, overweight was the key reason why many recruits were rejected.
D．By now, Congress hasn't eliminated junk food and high－calorie beverages from schools.
38. Which of the following is the best title for the article? A．School lunches: a national security threat? B．National security in danger?
C．Retired officers tired of school lunches D．The recruitment of 2030
