passage 71 FF的作品在多愁善感中針砭時(shí)弊
★★★☆
先看題:
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.?
1. The passage suggests which of the following about the?contradiction mentioned in the highlighted sentence? 全文推斷
2. It can be?inferred?from the passage that Tompkins would be most likely to agree with which of the following about the critics mentioned in the passage? 推斷+態(tài)度
這篇文章難倒不在結(jié)構(gòu)上,而在單詞上。
隨便挑幾個(gè):pious, insipid, sardonic 包括選項(xiàng)里的pejorative
陣亡一大批同學(xué)。
說(shuō)結(jié)構(gòu)不難,那就來(lái)看下結(jié)構(gòu)吧~
這篇就比較考驗(yàn)文章分析基本法的功力了:
①Before feminist literary criticism emerged in the 1970s, the nineteenth-century United States writer Fanny Fern was regarded by most?critics?(when considered at all) as a prototype of weepy sentimentalism–a?pious,?insipid?icon of conventional American culture. ②Feminist?reclamations?of Fern,?by contrast, emphasize her nonsentimental qualities, particularly her sharply humorous social criticism. ③Most feminist scholars found it difficult to reconcile?Fern’s?sardonic?social critiques with her elusive celebrations of many conventional values.? ④Attempting to resolve this contradiction, Harris concludes that Fern employed flowery rhetoric strategically to disguise her subversive goals beneath apparent conventionality.?⑤However, Tompkins proposes an alternative view of sentimentality itself, suggesting that sentimental writing could serve radical, rather than only conservative, ends by swaying readers emotionally, moving them to embrace social change.
pious 虔誠(chéng)的
insipid 無(wú)趣的
reclamation 糾正
sardonic 諷刺的,嘲笑的
①?觀(guān)點(diǎn),1970女權(quán)文學(xué)評(píng)論興起之前,人們認(rèn)為FF的作品太多愁善感,典型的美國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化特征
②?轉(zhuǎn)折觀(guān)點(diǎn),而女權(quán)維護(hù)FF的不多愁善感的成分,特別是她的尖銳幽默的社會(huì)評(píng)論
③?觀(guān)點(diǎn),不過(guò)也是挺難調(diào)和的
④?H的順承觀(guān)點(diǎn),為了調(diào)和,哈里斯想了辦法解讀
⑤?轉(zhuǎn)折觀(guān)點(diǎn),然而T給出了另一種方式的解讀。
所以看出來(lái)文章框架沒(méi):

For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
1. The passage suggests which of the following about the?contradiction mentioned in the highlighted sentence??
AC
A. It was not generally addressed by critics before the 1970s.?在這個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)之前,都認(rèn)為她不好,沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)沖突。對(duì)應(yīng)①
B. It is apparent in only a small number of Fern’s writings.?沒(méi)有證據(jù)
C. It has troubled many feminist critics who study Fern. 對(duì)應(yīng)③
?

★☆2. It can be?inferred?from the passage that Tompkins would be most likely to agree with which of the following about the critics mentioned in the passage? 推斷+態(tài)度
A. They?accurately characterize?the overall result Fern is aiming to achieve. NE
B. They?are not as dismissive?[JC1]?of Fern as some feminist critics have suggested.?沒(méi)有證據(jù)
C. They exaggerate the?extent?to which Fern intended her writing to serve?a social purpose.?沒(méi)有證據(jù)
D. They wrongly assume that sentimental must be a pejorative term.
E. They fail to recognize that?sentimental rhetoric?plays to readers’?emotions.?沒(méi)有證據(jù)。不知道他們有沒(méi)有認(rèn)識(shí)到。
?[JC1]?輕蔑,不屑一顧?
做第二題核心是要抓住Tompkins的觀(guān)點(diǎn)到底是什么,這樣就不會(huì)被E的emotion帶走。
背景拓展:

Fanny Fern, born Sara Willis (July 9, 1811 – October 10, 1872), was an American novelist, children's writer, humorist, and newspaper columnist in the 1850s to 1870s. Fern's popularity has been attributed to her conversational style and sense of what mattered to her mostly middle-class female readers. By 1855, Fern was the highest-paid columnist in the United States, commanding $100 per week for her New York Ledger column.?A collection of her columns published in 1853 sold 70,000 copies in its first year. Her best-known work, the fictional autobiography Ruth Hall (1854), has become a popular subject among feminist literary scholars.?
