Meng made a living by writing poems, but it was not really a paying job at that time. Meng was poor most of his life. When he got older, he wanted to change this. So he decided to take Keju exams.
Keju was China's official test system at that time. Anyone could take the exams. Keju gave everyone a chance and it was highly possible for them to become officers after passing the exams.
Meng studied very hard for the tests. He took the exams a few times. Each time he failed, he didn't give up. He studied harder and harder. At the age of 46, Meng finally made it.
Meng put on his new clothes and rode on a horse through Chang'an City. During his ride, Meng wrote a poem. "Successful, faster runs my horse in vernal(春季的) breeze; I've seen within one day all flowers on the trees." Meng described his excited feelings. On that day, he was able to let go of the disappointed feeling of the past.

这是一篇人物传记类阅读理解，解题时可按照题型对应思路逐一突破：1. 第4题是细节理解题，先定位题干关键词Keju exams回到原文找到所有和科举相关的描述，将每个选项和原文内容逐一比对，排除和原文不符的错误选项，得到正确答案；2. 第5题是词义猜测题，结合上下文的情节逻辑，前文提到孟郊多次科举落榜，如今终于考中十分喜悦，可推断划线词描述的是过去落榜时的负面情绪，再结合选项筛选匹配的含义；3. 第6题是主旨大意题，通读全文抓住核心主人公孟郊，梳理全文主线是他坚持奋斗最终成功的经历，排除偏离核心、以偏概全的干扰选项，选出最贴合的标题。
【解析】
4. 细节理解题：
原文第三段提到"Anyone could take the exams"，说明科举不是仅面向富人，B选项错误；
原文第三段提到"it was highly possible for them to become officers after passing the exams"，是很有可能当官而非一定能当官，C选项表述绝对，错误；
原文第四段提到孟郊多次参加科举都落榜，直到46岁才考中，说明科举并不容易通过，D选项错误；
原文第四段"Meng studied very hard for the tests...He studied harder and harder"说明科举需要投入大量时间学习练习，A选项表述正确。
5. 词义猜测题：
前文提到孟郊多次参加科举都失败，长期处于贫困状态，直到46岁才考中，考中当天他十分兴奋，终于可以放下过去多次失败积累的负面情绪。选项中A（愉快的）、C（兴奋的）都是正面情绪，不符合语境；D（紧张的）和多次落榜的情绪不匹配，只有B（难过的）和"失望的"含义接近，符合过去失败后的情绪状态。
6. 主旨大意题：
全文以孟郊为核心，讲述他热爱诗歌、多次参加科举屡败屡战最终考中，成为优秀诗人的奋斗历程。A选项偏离核心，文章并非重点讲他想当官的梦想；B选项范围过大，文章没有介绍唐代所有诗人和诗歌；D选项完全偏离主线，文章核心不是介绍科举制度，只有C选项"孟郊：诗人的成功之旅"精准覆盖了核心人物和全文主线。
