No other contemporary poet’s work has such a well-earned reputation for (i)____, and there are few whose moral vision is so imperiously unsparing. Of late, however, the almost belligerent demands of his severe and densely forbidding poetry have taken an improbable turn. This new collection is the poet’s fourth book in six years——an ample output even for poets of sunny disposition, let alone for one of such (ii)____ over the previous 50 years. Yet for all his newfound (iii)____ , his poetry is as thorny as ever. Blank (i) Blank (ii) Blank (iii) A. patent accessibility D. penitential austerity G. taciturnity B. intrinsic frivolity E. intractable prolixity H. volubility C. near impenetrability F. impetuous prodigality I. pellucidity TG：* 第一空：“,+and”结构等同于分号 // no other 和there are few也构成同义重复，∴把后面的特征填进去就好 imperious 专横、强制 unsparing 严厉的；不吝惜的；不宽恕的 【spare 节约、宽恕】 * 第二空：even + let alone（别提…）形成对比 sunny取反填进去 of late adv. 最近、近来 * 第三空：填入一个词表示这个诗人近来的一种状态。这个状态在前面已经出现，即这个人在近六年时间内写了4个诗集——高产、话多，用原文的话就是“ample” —————- 选项：(A) patent accessibility：明白易懂 　　 (B) intrinsic frivolity[frɪ'vɒlɪtɪ]：轻浮本质 　　 (C) near impenetrability：几乎难以理解(impenetrable——物理“不可穿透”、情感“无动于衷”、内容”晦涩难懂”) (D) penitential [penɪ’tenʃ(ə)l] austerity：低调简洁 【penitential 后悔的】 　　 (E) intractable prolixity[prəu'liksəti] ：不受控制地罗嗦 　　 (F) impetuous prodigality：极度华丽 【impetuous冲动、强烈 prodigality [,prɒdɪ’ɡælətɪ] 浪费、慷慨】 译文：没有其他任何当代诗人的作品因为严谨而拥有这样的美名，同时也很少有诗人像他这样拥有一种不变的道德观。然而对于后者而言，来自他那些严苛的诗歌中那几乎可以说得上是专断的说法现在竟然难以置信地发生了转变。这个诗人最新的诗集是他在6年以来的第四部，而这对于一个开朗健谈的诗人来说都是很高产的了，更不用提向他这样在过去50年里一直惜字如金的诗人了。然而尽管他现在似乎比以前来说不是那么惜字如金了，但是他文字中流露出来的尖刻依旧存在。
