Joseph Rudyard Kipling, who enjoyed early success with his poems, was born on 30 December 1865 in Bombay, India. Some of Kipling’s earliest and fondest memories are of his and sister Alice’s trips to the fruit market with their woman servant, or walking with his parents alongside the sea at night.
The beautiful days were to end when in 1871 Rudyard and Alice were sent to school in Southsea, England, to live with Captain Holloway and his wife. She ruled the boarding house with punishment and Kipling was often beaten by her and her son. “Then the old Captain died, and I was sorry, for he was the only person in that house as far as I can remember who ever threw me a kind word.” So he wrote in his later books. Kipling soon learned to read and found comfort in literature and poetry.
Freedom from the Holloway household was gained when he spent one month a year in London with his mother’s kind sister Aunt Georgie and her husband, pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne Jones and their children. Those months of December were a really paradise to Kipling.
In 1877 Kipling’s mother returned to England and collected him so that he could attend the United Services College in Devon. Now he was able to settle into the life of a student and in his second year started writing his own Schoolboy Lyric poems printed by his parents. In 1878 his father took him to the Paris Exhibition where he was allowed to wander freely and gained much appreciation for French culture which he wrote about in “Souvenirs of France”.

解析

试题分析：Joseph Rudyard Kipling(吉卜林)的诗取得了初步的成功。他于1865年的12月出生在印度的孟买。他的童年很快乐，1871年他和妹妹被送到英国的学校，与队长霍洛威和他的妻子生活。在那里他们经常被殴打。那老队长对他还好一些，但是后来死了，于是吉卜林很快就学会了阅读并在文学和诗歌中找到慰藉。对吉卜林而言，和姨妈一家在一起的那些个十二月就像天堂般的日子。1877，吉卜林的母亲回到英国，他收集以便他能去德文郡的联合服务学院。他能融入学生的生活，在第二年开始写自己的男生的抒情诗由他的父母印刷。1878他父亲带他去巴黎展览，使他得以自由驰骋，备受赞赏的法国文化，他把这些都写在了“法国回忆”一诗中。
小题1:细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句话可知，在1871年，他离开父母，去英国南海上学住在Holloway夫妇家中，选B。
小题2:细节理解题。题干问Kipling喜欢上文学和诗歌是在什么时候。根据第二段的最后一句话可知，Kipling在学校受到惩罚和毒打，只有Captain Holloway偶尔会说一两句好话。所以Kipling学会了读书并从文学和诗歌中寻找安慰。故选D。
小题3:句意推测题。根据该段的描述，文中有kind一次提示，后有说那些12月份对Kipling而言是天堂一般。与A（他觉得和他的姨妈一家在一起的日子很自由、快乐）。
