问题     Because the subject matter was so personal, the work of several prominent mid-twentieth century poets has been termed “confessional” poetry. But confession is a bad metaphor for what those poets did. The motive for confession is penitential or therapeutic —by speaking openly about personal guilt and suffering, the poet hopes to make them easier to bear. But these poets always approached their writing as artists, and their motive was aesthetic. Writing from experiences like madness, despair, and lust, their aim was to make effective art, not to cure themselves. To treat their poems mainly as documents of personal experience is not just to diminish the poets’ achievement, but to ignore their unanimous disdain for the idea of confessional poetry.
The author of the passage suggests that applying the term “confessional” to the work of the poets discussed
选项 A、is mistaken in what it seems to imply about the poets’ motivation
B、might seem superficially appropriate given the subject matter of the poems
C、is an error arising from the absence of any other convenient term.
答案A,B
解析 本题考查作者的观点，因此正确答案的选择方向应该是负面的。选项A正确，诗人的动机是审美，因此忏悔无法暗示出这一动机。B项正确，诗歌的主题对应第一句，是个人化的，因此可以被认为是忏悔的，但是实际上又不是忏悔，因此只能从表面上让忏悔这一主题看起来是合理的。C项文中未提及absence of any other convenient term。
