GRE阅读题目解析:彼此独立的传奇故事

2017-03-16 09:44:00来源:网络

  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)明显的年代矛盾,使每个故事都得以独立成章。

  (explain something away 为(过失或错误等)辩解,为某事物搪塞)

  3

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

  可原本被认为是一本书现在变成八本,这让人觉得别扭。

  (disagreeable 令人不愉快的,不合意的,讨厌的,脾气暴躁的)

  4

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

  这在某种程度上,是对 既有观念被扰乱 的自然反应。

  (set (形容词)固定的,事先安排的)

  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:这些故事之间没有特定的顺序,没有累积的效应,和任何一个现代小说家的作品一样彼此独立。

  (cumulative 渐增的,累积的,追加的)

  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。

  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.

  B “ 作为一个整体,这些故事没什么微妙的联系 ”,与作者的观点相反。

  C 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直说。

  不过作者的态度我们仍然能够推测,句 2 表明作者承认独立说解决了年代错误的问题,句 6 显示,作者仍然质疑独立说的某些观点,综合地理解,作者认为 —— 就算你解决了年代错误的问题又怎样,你还是没法回答统一性问题,可以理解为作者认为后者比前者更重要。

  所以选 AC 。

  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 :

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

  作者认为 V 很好地解释了故事的年代矛盾,所以 E 正确。

  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 指 “固定的,事先安排的”,扰乱了这种既有观念,可见这是一种对事物结论预先下判断的偏好(biased)。
