GRE阅读题目解析：非裔美国人参加独立战争

2017-02-06 18:28:35来源：网络

　　P5

　　1

　　For many years, Benjamin Quarles' seminal account of the participation of African Americans in the American Revolution has remained the standard work in the field.

　　多年来， BQ 关于非裔美国人参加美国独立战争的论述一直是该领域的权威观点。

　　2

　　According to Quarles, the outcome of this conflict was mixed for African American slaves who enlisted in Britain's fight against its rebellious American colonies in return for the promise of freedom: the British treacherously resold many into slavery in the West Indies, while others obtained freedom in Canada and Africa.

　　根据 Q 的观点，这场战争，对于因被许诺自由而参加英军对抗北美殖民地的非裔美国奴隶来说，结果是复杂的：许多奴隶被英方无耻地转卖西印度群岛，有些则在加拿大和非洲获得了自由。

　　3

　　Building on Quarles' analysis of the latter group, Sylvia Frey studied the former slaves who emigrated to British colonies in Canada.

　　在 Q 对后一群体的分析的基础上，SF 研究了其中的前者，即移居到英属加拿大殖民地的奴隶(这里的 former 是 Canada and Africa 里的 former)。

　　4

　　According to Frey, these refugees -- the most successful of the African American Revolutionary War participants -- viewed themselves as the ideological heirs of the American Revolution.

　　根据 F 的研究，这些难民 —— 参与独立战争的非裔美国人中最幸运的一群 —— 把自己视为美国独立战争精神的继承者。

　　(seccessful 本来没有幸运的意思，翻译作成功也不恰当——因为他们属于战败一方，结合文段，也许可以翻译成圆满的，心满意足的【AHD】Having obtained something desired or intended，但能不能如愿获得自由，很大程度上不是奴隶自己可以决定的，所以我把这种获得了自由的心满意足的人们，译成了幸运的人。)

　　5

　　Frey sees this inheritances reflected in their demands for the same rights that the American revolutionaries had demanded from the British: land ownership, limits to arbitrary authority and burdensome taxes, and freedom of religion. (157 words)

　　F 认为这种继承反应了这些独立战争的镇压者也对英方怀有相同的权利诉求：土地所有权，要求限制专权和重税，以及宗教自由。

　　9.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage concerning Britain's rule in its Canadian colonies after the American Revolution?

　　(A) Humiliated by their defeat by the Americans, the British sharply curtailed civil rights in their Canadian colonies.

　　(B) The British largely ignored their Canadian colonies.

　　(C) The British encouraged the colonization of Canada by those African Americans who had served on the American side as well as by those who had served on the British side.

　　(D) Some of Britain's policies in its Canadian colonies were similar to its policies in its American colonies before the American Revolution.

　　(E) To reduce the debt incurred during the war, the British imposed even higher taxes on the Canadian colonists than they had on the American colonists.

　　选 D

　　比较隐蔽的一道细节题，见句 5：

　　Frey sees this inheritances reflected in their demands for the same rights that the American revolutionaries had demanded from the British: land ownership, limits to arbitrary authority and burdensome taxes, and freedom of religion.

　　我们知道这些奴隶在加拿大成了自由人，同时他们自认继承了独立战争的精神，他们现在要求的，和北美英属殖民地在独立战争中向英国要求的权利相同，既然要求相同，说明面对的压迫是类似的，所以可以推测，独立战争后，加拿大殖民地的政策和独立战争前美国殖民地的政策类似。

　　所以选 D。

　　10.Which of the following is most analogous to the relationship between the African American Revolutionary War participants who settled in Canada after the American Revolution and the American revolutionaries, as that relationship is described in the passage?

　　(A) A brilliant pupil of a great musician rebels against the teacher, but adopts the teacher's musical style after the teacher's unexpected death.

　　(B) Two warring rulers finally make peace after a lifetime of strife when they realize that they have been duped by a common enemy.

　　(C) A child who has sided with a domineering parent against a defiant sibling later makes demands of the parent similar to those once made by the sibling.

　　(D) A writer spends much of her life popularizing the work of her mentor, only to discover late in life that much of the older writer's work is plagiarized from the writings of a foreign contemporary.

　　(E) Two research scientists spend much of their careers working together toward a common goal, but later quarrel over which of them should receive credit for the training of a promising student.

　　选 C

　　A 一个牛逼音乐家的聪明学生反抗老师，但老师横死后又继承了老师的音乐风格。

　　B 两位宿敌君主缠斗一生最终和解，因为他们发现被一个共同的敌人耍了。

　　C 一个跟着专断家长对抗叛逆兄弟的孩子，不久后向家长提出了跟叛逆兄弟类似的要求。

　　D 一位作者，一生都致力于向大众推荐自己崇敬的老作家的作品，晚年才发现老家伙的作品大多剽窃了一位外国同行。

　　E 两位科学家整个职业生涯都为相同的学术目标合作，最终因为谁培养出了最有前途的那个学生而吵掰。

　　按角色套进去一比较就选出来了。不懂的可能差在阅读理解能力，而不是英文阅读理解能力。
