【正确答案】：
 A. “THE LOVE SONG OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK” IS ELIOT’S MOST STRIKING EARLY ACHIEVEMENT. IT PRESENTS THE MEDITATION OF AN AGING YOUNG MAN OVER THE BUSINESS OF PROPOSING MARRIAGE. THE POEM IS IN A FORM OF DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE, SUGGESTING AN IRONIC CONTRAST BETWEEN A PRETENDED “LOVE SONG” AND A CONFESSION OF THE SPEAKER’ S INCAPABILITY OF FACING UP TO LOVE AND TO LIFE IN A STERILE UPPER - CLASS WORLD. 
B. PRUFROCK, THE PROTAGONIST OF THE POEM, IS NEUROTIC, SELF - IMPORTANT, ILLOGICAL AND INCAPABLE OF ACTION. HE IS A KING OF TRAGIC FIGURE CAUGHT IN A SENSE OF DEFEATED IDEALISM AND TORTURED BY UNSATISFIED DESIRES.  
C. THE SETTING OF THE POEM RESEMBLES THE “POLITE SOCIETY” OF POPE’S “THE RAPE OF THE LOCK,” IN WHICH A TEA PARTY IS A SIGNIFICANT EVENT AND A GAME OF CARDS IS THE ONLY WAY LO STAVE OFF BOREDOM.
D. THE POEM IS INTENSELY ANTI - ROMANTIC WITH VISUAL IMAGES OF HARD, GRITTY OBJECTS AND EVASIVE HELLISH ATMOSPHERE. 
【题目解析】：本题考查了T.S.艾略特的《普鲁弗洛克的情歌》主题，写作技巧及映像方面的诗意创意。建议分不同点进行分析说明。1.作品特点和意义：“阿尔弗雷德·普鲁弗洛克的情歌”是艾略特最引人注目的早期作品。它表现了一个年老的年轻人在求婚这件事上的沉思。这首诗以戏剧独白的形式出现，在一首假扮的“爱情之歌”和一个坦白演讲者在一个贫瘠的上流社会里无法面对爱情和生活的忏悔之间形成了一种讽刺的对比。2.主人公的特点与象征：这首诗的主人公普鲁弗洛克，是一个神经质，自以为是，不合逻辑，缺乏行动力的人。他是一个悲剧人物的国王，陷入了失败的理想主义并被不满足的欲望折磨。3.作品的背景与情节结构：这首诗的背景类似于亚历山大·波普的《鬈发遇劫记》中的“礼貌社会”，其中茶会是一个重要事件，玩纸牌游戏是避免无聊的唯一方法。4.作品语言情感特色：这首诗属于反浪漫主义，给人以坚硬、粗糙的视觉体验和回避推诿的气氛。
