GRE阅读题目解析:两部荷马史诗

2017-03-20 09:54:00来源：网络

　　P6

　　1

　　Of Homer‘s two epic poems, the Odyssey has always been more popular than the Iliad, perhaps because it includes more features of mythology that are accessible to readers.

　　荷马的两部史诗，奥德赛一直比伊利亚特更受青睐，也许是因为前者包含了更多读者容易接受的神话色彩。

　　2

　　Its subject (to use Maynard Mack‘s categories) is “ life - as - spectacle ,” for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without ; the tragic Iliad, however, presents “ life - as - experience ” : readers are asked to identify with the mind of Achilles, whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero.

　　它的主题(借用 MM 的分类)是 “生活如奇观” ，读者被各种情节娱乐，主要从外部观察英雄奥德赛;然而悲剧伊利亚特表现的是 “ 生命如体验 ”：它要求读者体验阿喀琉斯的精神世界，他的动机使其显得并不可爱。

　　3

　　In addition, the Iliad, more than the Odyssey, suggests the complexity of the gods‘ involvement in human actions, and to the extent that modern readers find this complexity a needless complication, the Iliad is less satisfying than the Odyssey, with its simpler _scheme‘ of divine justice.

　　另外，伊利亚特比奥德赛更使人想到神干预人间的复杂性，而这种程度的复杂性在现代读者看来没有必要，奥德赛则更令读者满意，因为它提供了一种单纯的神判设定。

　　4

　　Finally, since the Iliad presents a historically verifiable action, Troy‘s siege, the poem raises historical questions that are absent from the Odyssey’s blithely imaginative world. (148 words)

　　最后，由于伊利亚特展现了一个真实的历史事件，围攻特洛伊，诗人提出了一些历史问题，奥德赛描述的无忧无虑的幻想世界则所不包括这些。

　　10. The author uses Mack‘s “categories” (lines 4-5) most probably in order to

　　(A) argue that the Iliad should replace the Odyssey as the more popular poem

　　(B) indicate Mack‘s importance as a commentator on the Iliad and the Odyssey

　　(C) suggest one way in which the Iliad and the Odyssey can be distinguished

　　(D) point out some of the difficulties faced by readers of the Iliad and the Odyssey

　　(E) demonstrate that the Iliad and the Odyssey can best be distinguished by comparing their respective heroes

　　选 C

　　C 提供了一种区别两部史诗的方法。

　　B 干扰项，也是发散项，B 成立的前提是 MM 的这种分类是有效的，所以如果认为 B 正确，前提是 C 成立。

　　11. The passage is primarily concerned with

　　(A) distinguishing arguments

　　(B) applying classifications

　　(C) initiating a debate

　　(D) resolving a dispute

　　(E) developing a contrast

　　选 E

　　4 句话从 4 个方面对比了两部史诗。

　　A 区分争论

　　B 应用分类

　　C 展开讨论

　　D 解决争论

　　E 逐渐展示一种对比

　　12. It can be inferred from the passage that a reader of the Iliad is likely to have trouble identifying with the poem‘s hero for which of the following reasons?

　　(A) The hero is eventually revealed to be unheroic.

　　(B) The hero can be observed by the reader only from without.

　　(C) The hero‘s psychology is not historically verifiable.

　　(D) The hero‘s emotions often do not seem appealing to the reader.

　　(E) The hero‘s emotions are not sufficiently various to engage the reader‘s attention.

　　选 D

　　见句 2 ，…whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero .
