GRE阅读题目解析:马克吐温《误闯亚瑟王宫》小说

2017-04-06 10:47:38来源：新东方在线整理

　　P5

　　1

　　Hank Morgan, the hero of Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, is a nineteenth-century master mechanic who mysteriously awakening in sixth-century Britain, launches what he hopes will be a peaceful revolution to transform Arthurian Britain into an industrialized modern democracy.

　　HM，马克·吐温的小说《误闯亚瑟王宫》中的英雄，是一个十九世纪一个技术卓越的技工，他某日醒来，神秘地出现在六世纪英国，他发动了自以为是的和平革命，想把亚瑟王时代的英国，变成一个完成了工业化的现代民主国家。

　　2

　　The novel, written as a spoof of Thomas Malory's Morte d'Arthur, a popular collection of fifteenth-century legends about sixth-century Britain, has been made into three upbeat movies and two musical comedies.

　　这部已经被改编成三部娱乐电影和两出音乐喜剧的小说，是对 TM 的《亚瑟王之死》的戏说，后者是一部广受欢迎的关于六世纪英国的十五世纪传说故事集。

　　3

　　None of these translations to screen and stage, however, dramatize the anarchy at the conclusion of A Connecticut Yankee, which ends with the violent overthrow of Morgan's three-year-old progressive order and his return to the nineteenth century, where he apparently commits suicide after being labeled a lunatic for his incoherent babblings about drawbridges and battlements.

　　然而，这些被搬上大银幕和舞台的改编，戏剧化地表现了《误闯亚瑟王宫》的无政府主义结论，小说结局是暴动推翻了 M 仅维持了三年的进步秩序，而回到十九世纪的 M 因其前后矛盾的关于吊桥和城垛的胡言乱语，被认为发了疯，似乎最终自杀。

　　4

　　The American public, although enjoying Twain's humor, evidently rejected his cynicism about technological advancement and change through peaceful revolution as antithetical to the United States doctrine of progress.

　　尽管美国公众欣赏吐温的幽默，却明显不能接受他对技术进步以及和平革命带来转变的犬儒态度，认为这种态度与美国进步的经验相悖。

　　10.According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the reception of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by the American public?

　　○A The public had too strong a belief in the doctrine of progress to accept the cynicism demonstrated at the conclusion of Twain's novel.

　　○B Twain's novel received little public recognition until the work was adapted for motion pictures and plays.

　　○C Although the public enjoyed Twain's humor, his use of both sixth-century and nineteenth-century characters confused many people.

　　○D The public has continued to enjoy Twain's story, but the last part of the novel seems too violent to American minds.

　　○E Because of the cynicism at the end of the book, the public rejected Twain's work in favor of the work of Thomas Malory.

　　选 A

　　公众对美国进步经验的认同如此强烈，以至于不能接受吐温小说结局表现出来对前者的犬儒态度。根据句 4 。

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

　　11. It can be inferred from the passage that Mark Twain would most probably have believed in which of the following statements about societal change?

　　□A Technological advancements are limited in their ability to change society and will likely bring liabilities along with any potential benefits.

　　□B The belief in the unmitigated benefits of societal change is antithetical to the American doctrine of progress.

　　□C Technological advances and peaceful revolutions, although sometimes accompanied by unintended violence and resistance to societal change, eventually lead to a more progressive order.

　　选 A

　　根据文段判断马克·吐温最可能持有的观点。

　　A 技术进步在改变社会的能力上是有限的，带来潜在好处的同时，也带来风险。

　　B &C 无法根据文中内容判断。

　　12.The author uses the examples of "three upbeat movies and two musical comedies"(lines 9-10) primarily in order to demonstrate that

　　○A well-written novels like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, regardless of their tone or theme, can be translated to the stage and screen.

　　○B the American public has traditionally been more interested in watching plays and movies than in reading novels like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

　　○C Twain's overall message in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is one that had a profound impact on the American public.

　　○D Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court has been a more popular version of the Arthurian legends than has Malory's Morte d'Arthur

　　○E A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court has been accepted as an enjoyable and humorous tale in versions that have omitted the anarchy at the novel's conclusion

　　选 E

　　美国公众能够接受吐温的幽默，但对于小说结局的反政府主义倾向不能接受，所以所有的改编都戏剧化地改写了结局，才能受大众欢迎。
