GRE阅读题目解析:小说《呼啸山庄》

2017-03-30 08:39:00来源:新东方在线整理

  P1

  1

  Many critics of Emily Bronte‘s novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a “romantic” reading receives more confirmation.

  许多评论家认为艾米莉·勃朗特的小说《呼啸山庄》的第二部分,即便没有颠覆之,也是对 通常被认为表现出一种浪漫风格的第一部分 的一种对比。

  (if it does not reverse 中的 if ,作 even though \ although perhaps 即使,即便,虽然。)

  2

  Seeing the two parts as a whole is encouraged by the novel‘s sophisticated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrators and time shifts.

  而小说对叙述者和时间转换的复杂运用,所表现出的精致的结构,又使人倾向于认为两部分是一个整体。

  3

  Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel‘s heterogeneous parts.

  的确,这些因素不足以得出结论,认为作者在小说结构上具备了 H J 那样的写作自觉,但这些因素确实鼓励人们,尝试把小说不同部分做统一解读。

  4

  However, any interpretation that seeks to unify all of the novel‘s diverse elements is bound to be somewhat unconvincing.

  然而,任何尝试统一小说不同元素的解读,在某种程度上都缺乏说服力。

  5

  This is not because such an interpretation necessarily stiffens into a thesis (although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger), but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that, ultimately, resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretation.

  并非因为这样的解读必然导致一种僵化的理论(尽管僵化地解读这本小说或任何一本小说总是危险的),而是因为《呼啸山庄》包含的不可调和元素有一种无可否认的力量,最终会抗拒一种总括全局的解读。

  6

  In this respect, Wuthering Heights shares a feature of Hamlet. (164 words)

  在这方面,《呼啸山庄》有点像《哈姆雷特》。

  1. According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the first and second parts of Wuthering Heights?

  (A) The second part has received more attention from critics.

  (B) The second part has little relation to the first part.

  (C) The second part annuls the force of the first part.

  (D) The second part provides less substantiation for a “romantic” reading.

  (E)The second part is better because it is more realistic.

  选 D

  句 1 。

  第一部分是被认为 romantic 的,第二部分作为第一部分的对比 counterpoint ,即便没有颠覆 if it does not reverse ,可知起码第二部分不像第一部分那么浪漫。

  2. Which of the following inferences about Henry James‘s awareness of novelistic construction is best supported by the passage?

  (A) James, more than any other novelist, was aware of the difficulties of novelistic construction.

  (B) James was very aware of the details of novelistic construction.

  (C) James‘s awareness of novelistic construction derived from his reading of Bronte.

  (D) James‘s awareness of novelistic construction has led most commentators to see unity in his individual novels.

  (E) James‘s awareness of novelistic construction precluded him from violating the unity of his novels.

  选 B

  句 2 中介绍了一些《呼啸山庄》的特点,比如叙述人称和时间的转换等,在句 3 中作者表示,need not argue 不必然得出 H J 的那种注意小说结构的作者意识,可以推测 H J 非常注意小说结构。所以选 B 。

  3. The author of the passage would be most likely to agree that an interpretation of a novel should

  (A) not try to unite heterogeneous elements in the novel

  (B) not be inflexible in its treatment of the elements in the novel

  (C) not argue that the complex use of narrators or of time shifts indicates a sophisticated structure

  (D) concentrate on those recalcitrant elements of the novel that are outside the novel‘s main structure

  (E) primarily consider those elements of novelistic construction of which the author of the novel was aware

  选 B

  句 5 括号里的内容 although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger ,可见作者认为僵化地解释任何一本小说都不好,符合 B 的描述。

  For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply

  4. The author of the passage suggests which of the following about Hamlet?

  □A Hamlet has usually attracted critical interpretations that tend to stiffen into theses.

  □B Hamlet has elements that are not amenable to an all-encompassing critical interpretation.

  □C Hamlet is less open to an all-encompassing critical interpretation than is Wuthering Heights.

  选 B

  根据文章,只有最后一句提到《哈姆雷特》,指两部小说都抗拒一种统一的解读,所以——

  A 哈姆雷特常被僵化地解读,文中信息不足以判断

  B 正确

  C 不能判断。两个都抗拒,不知道是不是某一个更抗拒。all-emcompassing 无所不包的。
