问题         Unlike the carefully weighted and planned
    compositions of Dante, Goethe’s writings have
    always the sense of immediacy and enthusiasm.
Line He was a constant experimenter with life, with
(5) ideas, and with forms of writing. For the same
    reason, his works seldom have the qualities of
    finish or formal beauty which distinguish the
    masterpieces of Dante and Virgil. He came to
    love the beauties of classicism but these were
(10) never an essential part of his make-up. Instead,
    the urgency of the moment, the spirit of the thing,
    guided his pen. As a result, nearly all his works
    have serious flaws of structure, of inconsistencies,
    of excesses and redundancies and extraneities.
(15)    In the large sense, Goethe represents the fullest
    development of the romanticist. It has been
    argued that he should not be so designated
    because he so clearly matured and outgrew the
    kind of romanticism exhibited by Wordsworth,
(20) Shelley, and Keats. Shelley and Keats died
    young; Wordsworth lived narrowly and aban-
    doned his early attitudes. In contrast, Goethe lived
    abundantly and developed his faith in the spirit,
    his understanding of nature and human nature,
(25) and his reliance on feelings as man’s essential
    motivating force. The result was an all-
    encompassing vision of reality and a philosophy
    of life broader and deeper than the partial visions
    and attitudes of other romanticists. Yet the spirit
(30) of youthfulness, the impatience with close reason-
    ing or "logic-chopping," and the continued faith
    in nature remained his to the end, together with
    an occasional waywardness and impulsiveness
    and a disregard of artistic or logical propriety
(35) which savor strongly of romantic individualism.
    Since so many twentieth-century thoughts and
    attitudes are similarly based on the stimulus of the
    Romantic Movement, Goethe stands as particu-
    larly the poet of modern times as Dante stood for
(40) medieval times and as Shakespeare for the
    Renaissance. [br] A characteristic of romanticism NOT mentioned in this passage is its
选项 A、elevation of nature
B、preference for spontaneity
C、modernity of ideas
D、unconcern for artistic decorum
E、simplicity of language
答案 E
解析
