  P1

  1

  Jean Wagner‘s most enduring contribution to the study of Afro-American poetry is his insistence that it be analyzed in a religious, as well as secular, frame of reference.

  JW 对于非裔美国人诗歌研究的最不懈的贡献,是坚持在宗教和世俗参照系内分别研究。

  2

  The appropriateness of such an approach may seem self-evident for a tradition commencing with spirituals and owing its early forms, rhythms, vocabulary, and evangelical fervor to Wesleyan hymnals.

  这种诗歌传统发源于圣歌,其形式、节奏、词汇、宗教热情都来自于卫理教派的赞美诗集,所以这种研究方式是恰当的,不言而喻。

  3

  But before Wagner a secular outlook that analyzed Black poetry solely within the context of political and social protest was dominant in the field.

  但在 W 以前,这个领域内的主流研究方式,是单纯在政治和社会抗争的语境下以世俗视角观察黑人诗歌。

  4

  It is Wagner who first demonstrated the essential fusion of racial and religious feeling in Afro-American poetry.

  是 W 首先论证出,美国黑人诗歌中的种族与宗教情感本质上相互交融。

  5

  The two, he argued, form a symbiotic union in which religious feelings are often applied to racial issues and racial problems are often projected onto a metaphysical plane.

  他认为,二者构成一个共生体,在种族事件中宗教情感经常得以表达,而种族问题也经常被投射于形而上的层面。

  6

  Wagner found this most eloquently illustrated in the Black spiritual, where the desire for freedom in this world and the hope for salvation in the next are inextricably intertwined. (159 words)

  W 认为这种共生的观点在黑人圣歌中表现的表现得最为明显,在现实世界对自由的渴望与在天堂灵魂被救赎的希望互相纠结,密不可分。

  1. The primary purpose of the passage is to

  (A) contrast the theories of Jean Wagner with those of other contemporary critics

  (B) document the influence of Jean Wagner on the development of Afro-American poetry

  (C) explain the relevance of Jean Wagner‘s work to the study of Afro-American religion

  (D) indicate the importance of Jean Wagner‘s analysis of Afro-American poetry

  (E) present the contributions of Jean Wagner to the study of Black spirituals

  选D

  A 只是对比了二者研究在某一点的区别,没有对比其他,A 说法过分。

  B W是对黑人诗歌的解读分析有贡献,对诗歌发展的贡献未知。

  C W研究的是诗歌,不是黑人的宗教。

  D 正确,暗示 W 研究的重要意义。

  E 理由同C

  2. All of the following aspects of Afro-American poetry are referred to in the passage as having been influenced by Wesleyan hymnals EXCEPT

  (A) subject matter

  (B) word choice

  (C) rhythm

  (D) structure

  (E) tone

  选A

  好题。

  B / C / D 分别对应句 2 “early forms, rhythms, vocabulary, and evangelical fervor” 中的 vocabulary / rhythms / early forms ,争议在于 tone 对应 A 还是 E 。

  假定A是正确的,即黑人诗歌的主题也被卫理教派圣歌影响,则与句 3 矛盾,因为 W 以前的主流研究方式从未关注诗歌与宗教的关系,如果真的主题相关,是没可能被忽略了二者联系的。

  所以选 E ,tone 指叙述的情调、气氛,对应宗教热情。

  3. It can be inferred from the passage that, before Wagner, most students of Afro-American poetry did which of the following?

  (A) Contributed appreciably to the transfer of political protest from Afro-American poetry to direct political action.

  (B) Ignored at least some of the historical roots of Afro-American poetry.

  (C) Analyzed fully the aspects of social protest to be found in such traditional forms of Afro-American poetry as the Black spiritual.

  (D) Regarded as unimportant the development of fervent emotionalism in a portion of Afro-American poetry.

  (E) Concentrated on the complex relations between the technical elements in Afro-American poetry and its political content.

  选B

  难题。

  A 从诗歌中的政治抗议转为直接的政治活动,未知信息。

  B 正确。句 3 “But before Wagner a secular outlook that analyzed Black poetry solelywithin the context of political and social protest was dominant in the field. ” 由 solely 可知 ignored at least some of the historical roots .

  C 没有 Black spiritual 的事,瞎聊。

  D emotionalism 感情主义?也许大概是马景涛在琼瑶剧里那种表演方式吧?未知信息。

  E technical elements 写诗的技巧,未知。
