  P3

  1

  Initially the Vinaver theory that Malory‘s eight romances, once thought to be fundamentally unified, were in fact eight independent works produced both a sense of relief and an unpleasant shock.

  V 认为,之前被认为是统一整体的 M 的 8 篇传奇故事其实彼此独立,最初 V 这种观点使人如释重负又有些不能接受。

  2

  Vinaver‘s theory comfortably explained away the apparent contradictions of chronology and made each romance independently satisfying.

  V 的理论很好地解释了(M 8 故事之间的)年代矛盾,使每个故事都得以独立成章。

  3

  It was, however, disagreeable to find that what had been thought of as one book was now eight books.

  可原本认为是一本书现在变成八本,这让人觉得别扭。

  4

  Part of this response was the natural reaction to the disturbance of set ideas.

  有这种反应,部分是对 既有观念被扰乱 的自然反应。

  5

  Nevertheless, even now, after lengthy consideration of the theory‘s refined but legitimate observations, one cannot avoid the conclusion that the eight romances are only one work.

  即便是现在,任何对这种理论进行过长期精确合理观察的人都不能否认,这八个故事仍然属于同一作品。

  6

  It is not quite a matter of disagreeing with the theory of independence, but of rejecting its implications: that the romances may be taken in any or no particular order, that they have no cumulative effect, and that they are as separate as the works of a modern novelist. (154 words)

  对该理论的质疑不在于八个故事彼此独立,而在于它的某些推论:(比如)这些故事之间没有特定的顺序,它们没有累积的效应,它们和任何一个现代小说家的作品一样彼此独立。

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

  5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about Malory‘s works?

  □A There are meaningful links between and among the romances.

  □B The subtleties of the romances are obscured when they are taken as one work.

  □C Any contradictions in chronology among the romances are less important than their overall unity.

  选AC

  A 见句 5 ,假借 one (任何人)的说法,作者表达了自己的看法,即认为八故事是一个整体。

  B 与作者的观点相反。

  C 争议项,如果你理解为“尽管有各种年代错误,但仍然不妨碍八故事是一个整体”,那么应该选C;如果单就字面理解,“年代错误”和“八故事是统一整体”两个事实,要比较谁更重要,那么其实作者在文中没说。

  所以如果你这道题选 A ,我也认为不能算你错(虽然我这样的宽容没什么权威性)。

  6. The author of the passage concedes which of the following about the Vinaver theory?

  (A) It gives a clearer understanding of the unity of Malory‘s romances.

  (B) It demonstrates the irrationality of considering Malory‘s romances to be unified.

  (C) It establishes acceptable links between Malory‘s romances and modern novels.

  (D) It unifies earlier and later theories concerning the chronology of Malory‘s romances.

  (E) It makes valid and subtle comments about Malory‘s romances.

  选E

  问作者承认 V 理论的什么论点是正确的。

  见句 2 ,作者认为 V 很好地解释了故事的年代矛盾,所以 E 正确。

  关于干扰项 B ,V 确实认为八故事是彼此独立的,但作者不认为 V 的观点是正确的(注意题干 concede),所以不选 B 。

  7. It can be inferred from the passage that, in evaluating the Vinaver theory, some critics were

  (A) frequently misled by the inconsistencies in Malory‘s work

  (B) initially biased by previous interpretations of Malory‘s work

  (C) conceptually displeased by the general interpretation that Vinaver rejected

  (D) generally in agreement with Vinaver‘s comparisons between Malory and modern novelists

  (E) originally skeptical about Vinaver‘s early conclusions with respect to modern novels

  选B

  B “有些评论家对 M 八故事的看法受到早期观点的影响,有偏好(biased)”, 见句 4 ,set ideas 中的 set 作形容词时,可以指 “固定的,事先安排的”,扰乱了这种以前就有的观念,可见这是一种对事物结论预先下判断的偏好(biased)。
