If people are regarded only as machines guided by logic, as they were by some "scientistic" thinkers, rhetoric is likely to be held in low regard; for the most obvious truth about rhetoric is that it speaks to the whole person. It presents its arguments first to the person as a rational being. Logical argument is the plot, as it were, of any speech or essay that is respectfully intended to persuade people. Yet it is a characterizing feature of rhetoric that it goes beyond this and appeals to the parts of our nature that are involved in feeling, desiring, acting, and suffering. It recalls relevant instances of the emotional reactions of people to circumstances-real or fictional-that are similar to our own circumstances.
9. The passage suggests that the disparagement of
rhetoric by some people can be traced to their
(A) reaction against science
(B) lack of training in logic
(C) desire to persuade people as completely as
possible
(D) misunderstanding of the use of the term "scientistic"
(E) view of human motivation

E17-10
A serious critic has to comprehend the particular content, unique structure, and special meaning of a work of art. And here she faces a dilemma. The critic must recognize the artistic element of uniqueness that requires subjective reaction; yet she must not be unduly prejudiced by such reactions. It is necessary that a critic develop a sensibility informed by familiarity with the history of art and aesthetic theory. On the other hand, it is insufficient to treat the artwork solely historically, in relation to a fixed set of ideas or values. The critic‘s knowledge and training are, rather, a preparation of the cognitive and emotional abilities needed for an adequate personal response to an artwork‘s own particular qualities.
10. The author‘s argument is developed primarily by
the use of
(A) an attack on sentimentality
(B) an example of successful art criticism
(C) a critique of artists training
(D) a warning against extremes in art criticism
(E) an analogy between art criticism and art
production
答案为什么是D,我怎么也看不出是warning和extreme这两个词的意思在文中的体现,求解释作者: mmchuanjiao2 时间: 2011-10-3 15:38:45
1说人们被认为是machines guided by logic 可以勉强被认为是与motivation有关吧 我是用POE做的 具体原因等高人回答
2And here she faces a dilemma : yet she must not be unduly prejudiced by such reactions
On the other hand, it is insufficient to treat the artwork solely historically 可以看出来分别是说两个极端怎么不好啊 仔细理解一下作者: mattjia12 时间: 2011-10-3 15:51:45

文中无法解释第9题的答案E中motivation的来源。这是旧GRE的原文:
Under the force of this view, it was perhaps inevitable that the art of rhetoric should pass from the status of being regarded as of questionable worth (because although it might be both a source of pleasure and a means to urge people to right action, it might also be a means to distort truth and a source of misguided action) to the status of being wholly condemned. If people are regarded only as machines guided by logic, as they were by these “scientistic” thinkers, rhetoric is likely to be held in low regard; for the most obvious truth about rhetoric is that it speaks to the whole person.
