H.D.attended private schools in Philadelphia and then Bryan Mawr College. The love of classical antiquity she acquired during these years later surfaced in the many references in her poetry to figures from Greek and Egyptian mythology and in her classical notions of beauty and form. While in Philadelphia she also began making friendships with Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and Harriet Monroe.
In 1911, H.D.sailed for Europe, where her career began. Soon after arriving in London, she renewed her friendship with Pound and met and married Richard Aldington, an Imagist poet and novelist who also directly influenced the shape of her writing. She began writing short poems that so impressed Pound with their precise description and diction that he insisted she submit them to Harriet Monroe‘s Poetry magazine signed“H.D,Imagist.”She persisted in using her initials for the remainder of her career closely linked to the Imagist rebellion against more traditional poetry.
The clear, spare, and energetic lyrics of H.D.’s early poems, with their classical images, later became fuller, freer, and more“open”philosophic explorations of the world. By the destruction of the Second World War that she witnessed evoked deeper visions of the relationship of ancient truths to modern realities. That vision is expressed in such works as Truiolgy(三部曲)(1946), Helen in Egypt(1961),and her last work, Hermetic Definition(1961).
H.D.’s industry and literal achievement are just beginning to be recognized and appreciated. In addition to her poetry, she wrote several novels, including Palimpsest(重写本)(1926), Heylus(1928), and Bid Me to Live(1960). Many of her other poems, essays, and short stories have been published posthumously.

三、单项选择题(每题2分,共10分)选择下列答案中正确的一个,选择您认为正确的答案
Long before Man lived on the Earth , there were fishes ,reptiles, birds, insects, and some mammals. Although some of these animals were ancestors of kinds living today ,others are now extinct, that is, they have no descendants alive now . 41)
Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin, so that, apart from color, we can build up a reasonably accurate picture of an animal that died millions of years ago. That kind of rock in which the remains are found tells us much about the nature of the original land ,often of the plants that grew on it, and even of its climate.
42) .Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action, and most of these are of animals that lived in or near water. Thus it follows that there must be many kinds of mammals, birds, and insects of which we know noting.
43) .There were also crablike creatures, whose bodies were covered with a horny substance. The body segments each had two pairs of legs, one pair for walking on the sandy bottom ,the other for swimming. The head was a kind of shield with a pair of compound eyes, often with thousands of lenses. They were usually an inch or two long but some were 2 feet.
44) .Of these, the ammonites are very interesting and important .They have a shell composed of many chambers, each representing a temporary home of the animal .As the young grew larger it grew a new chamber and sealed off the previous one .Thousands of these can be seen in the rocks on the Dorset Coast.
45) About 75 million years ago the Age of Reptiles was over and most of the groups died out .The mammals quickly developed, and we can trace the evolution of many familiar animals such as the elephant and horse . Many of the later mammals though now extinct,were known to primitive man and were featured by him in cave paintings and on bone carvings .
