农业银行招聘考试真题四SECTION Ⅲ Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Par ADirectionsRead the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text1People seldom feel neutral(中立) about poetry. Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate （充足的，胜任的） substitution（代替） for food, shelter（住所）, and love. It isn’t. Words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for life itself and its human experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle（原则） sometimes claim, on the other hand, that poetry is only words and good for nothing. That’s not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words------- in poetry or in life----but when words represent （代表） and recreate and genuine（真正的） human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is, in fact, more than just words. It is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend theirexperience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings. Poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetry’s most insistent merits(是非公道) involves its attempt to express the inexpressible（不可言传）. How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about? Poetry tries, and it often captures（获得） exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, “Yes, that is just what it is like;I know exactly w hat that line means but I’ve never been ab le to express it so well.” Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief（悲痛） or joy.46. “People seldom feel neutral about poetry” in the first paragraph means that ___D__________.A. few people think that poetry is neutralB. people always differ in their views about poetryC. people rarely take a partial opinion about poetryD. people generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally useless47.

But unlike some artists who have begun to paint Western subjects precisely （精确的） because there is a ready market for them, the members who makes up the Women Artists of the American West (WAOAW) paint the West because it has always been the primary（主要的，初级的） subject matter for them. For the most part, these women have lived in the American West since birth, and their art is natural outgrowth （结果）of the habitat（产地，栖息地） and habits of their daily lives.The WAOAW was launched （开始）in 1971 by artists Gloria Bilotta and Mollie Graham. This organization brought Western artists together in the hope of making more of an impact of the art community than any of them could individually and to promote Western art by women.In the more than 10 years of the organization’s existence, the work of WAOAW has become recognized as preeminent（卓越的） by collectors and critics of Western American art. Just what type of subject matter does this art genre （类型，流派）include? The scenic landscapes and sprawling vistas of the West are, of course, popular subjects but the most recognizable are those landscapes and portraits featuring （特征）mountain men, cowboys, and various American Indian tribes（部落）. However, WAOAW artists believe that the subjects matter for Western art should not be confined （限制）to these narrow limitations. It should contain all aspects （方面）of ranch （大牧场）and pioneer （先锋，拓荒者）life, including the large role played by women Western art should also depict（描绘） Western wildlife and authentic （真实的）Western artifacts（粗糙物） as portrayed by Lisa Danielle Lorimer, Esther Maric Vetsch, Mary Thomson, and other members.The artists who make up WAOAW, currently about（目前关于）thirty-five members have another character in common apart from their painting genre （流派）and that is the high quality of their art. When the group was originally formed（最初形成），requirements for membership were not strict and involved willingness to participate and a membership fee（小费）. But as the group grew in prestige（威望）, it became necessary to tighten （紧紧）membership requirements considerably in orderto justify（证明合法） the many hours and thousands of dollars spent by the group to promote the work of its members.51.
