文章分析：

小說的場景閱讀法別忘了。

Blurb里的人物介紹在本文最后附。

這篇文章本身相對來說結(jié)構(gòu)比較清晰，總共三段，每一段就是一幕。

第一段，這倆哥們沒事就聊房子。

中間Line 10-15（不同版本行數(shù)可能不同，我在更新的時候會直接上截圖），連續(xù)四個since的并列結(jié)構(gòu)，可以略讀。

第二段，收到來信，激動不已，患得患失怕得不到房子。

中間Line 45-52是對房子的具體描述，可以略讀。

這一段考點密集，在題目解析中再回來定位。

第三段，出發(fā)去房子途中的所思所想。

整篇文章心理描寫較多，屬與難度中等偏難的篇章。

題型分析：

1 結(jié)構(gòu)題

focus shift主要會在不同的幕中出現(xiàn)。

A unhappiness?沒有證據(jù)/相反，對應(yīng)Line 5

B?整個選項都完整出現(xiàn)在第一幕當(dāng)中

C 脫離主旨，也同B，都還在第一幕當(dāng)中，另外similarity沒有證據(jù)/相反，對應(yīng)那四個since的平行結(jié)構(gòu)。

D 正確，第二幕與第三幕間的切換。

2 直接細(xì)節(jié)題，定位+同義替換

對應(yīng)Line?10-15那四個since并列

沒有循證也要去精準(zhǔn)定位。

A 有一定的干擾，但其實沒有available的證據(jù)

C D都有錯誤信息，很好排。

3?C

4?直接細(xì)節(jié)，直接定位Line 39

5?間接細(xì)節(jié)

定位讀完信之后的Line?53-55

6 上一題的循證，所以組合詢證應(yīng)該是先做上一題，下一題定位就是白送的分。偶爾可以用循證的定位來縮小定位范圍，遇到我們再說。

7 間接細(xì)節(jié)，定位Line?56 直接做

8?同上

9?結(jié)構(gòu)+段落主旨題

結(jié)合段落主旨可解

A?ligical conclusion沒有證據(jù)

C?heighten drama沒有證據(jù)

D?new setting沒有證據(jù)

10?結(jié)構(gòu)，信息目的題，難題，可以通過排除法來做

B?這些詞不是用來形容Lamb House的

C?并沒有做contrast

D 無關(guān)，用錯了答題區(qū)間。這都是第二幕的內(nèi)容了。

背景拓展

Henry James?OM?(15 April 1843 – 28 February 1916) was an American-British author regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of Henry James Sr. and the brother of renowned philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.

He is best known for a number of novels dealing with the social and marital interplay between emigre Americans, English people, and continental Europeans. Examples of such novels include?The Portrait of a Lady,?The Ambassadors, and?The Wings of the Dove. His later works were increasingly experimental. In describing the internal states of mind and social dynamics of his characters, James often made use of a style in which ambiguous or contradictory motives and impressions were overlaid or juxtaposed in the discussion of a character's psyche. For their unique ambiguity, as well as for other aspects of their composition, his late works have been compared to impressionist painting.

James also published articles and books of criticism, travel, biography, autobiography, and plays. Born in the United States, James largely relocated to Europe as a young man and eventually settled in England, becoming a British subject in 1915, one year before his death. James was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912 and 1916.
