mkb57288UID：2105771

今天上午把no.4的阅读题目作了一下，发现这一篇比较难，现在把自己的分析法上来，抛砖引玉
欢迎大家讨论，也希望大家又no.4对其他阅读题目有疑问的，也在这后面跟贴，这样比较集中好讨论一些，以后之多两天会发一个类似的帖子，然后把所有的连接都汇总到anticipation的一楼，争取再考前复习完所有的no.和国内题
希望大家支持，在这里先bow一下了

Thomas Hardy’s impulses as a writer, all of which he indulged in his novels, were numerous and divergent不符合常理的词，注意, and they did not always work together in harmony对前面divergent的解释，前面说了有矛盾，后面肯定要解释具体有怎么样的矛盾. Hardy was to some degree interested in exploring his characters’ psychologies, though impelled less by curiosity than by sympathy. 注意到前后说的有不一样了，看样子作者在这里列举了好多种矛盾，最好划分层次Occasionally he felt the impulse to comedy (in all its detached coldness)括号也是一种解释的内容，要加以注意 as well as the impulse to farce, but he was more often inclined to see tragedy and record it. He was also inclined to literary realism in the several senses of that phrase. 后面的排比是对前面的解释He wanted to describe ordinary human beings; he wanted to speculate on their dilemmas rationally (and, unfortunately, even schematically); and he wanted to record precisely the material universe. Finally, he wanted to be more than a realist. He wanted to transcend 对应more than what he considered to be the banality of solely recording things exactly and to express as well his awareness of the occult and the strange与banality相对的概念，不过好像不是很重要，因为没有很具体的解释.
In his novels these various再次证明了我们在上面的分层 impulses were sacrificed 特别的动词to each other inevitably and often. Inevitably, because Hardy did not care关于文章主角的态度 in the way that novelists such as有可能出强对比取非题 Flaubert or James cared, and therefore注意表示结果很原因的词 took paths of least resistance又解释了sacrifice. Thus, one impulse often surrendered还是同一个动词的解释—看样子这个词非常重要 to a fresher这里解释了通过什么标准sacrifice的 one and, unfortunately, instead of好像是作者暗示what ought to be exacting a compromise, simply disappeared. 个人觉得下面这句话极其晦涩难懂，假设我们根本没有看懂（实际上我就是没看懂，大家谁搞定了麻烦在下面分析一下句子），现在只好继续，并且借助于逻辑来补充这里的缺环，现在只能估计这是对上面的解释，因为出现了give way to这样只言片语的重复，但这个重复是动词，这一点很关键，这就说明两句话意思可能差不多A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower. 从这里应该可以继续往下看了In this instance,还是一种结果的说法 the new impulse was at least注意这个词与at best相反，有一点褒义的色彩 an energetic one, and thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed可见这是不好的特点 style. But要说不好的了 on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly energizing前面这些词只要明白作者对他们的褒贬态度就可以了，在这里显然是褒义的 impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly. When继续讲这个不好的后果 a relaxing impulse was indulged, the style—注意破折号的解释作用that sure index很特别的词 of an author’s literary worth—was certain to become verboserelaxing的结果在这里了，可见作者认为哈代有时候根本就没有style这个对文学家重要的东西. Hardy’s weakness derived from表示原因的动词 his apparent inability在这里作者对哈代的态度已经非常明显了 to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energetic and risky再次证明前面的褒义的判断 ones. He submitted to first one and then another, and the spirit blew where it listed; hence the unevenness of any one of his novels. His most controlled novel后面就是一个例子说就算是最好的也没控制好, Under the Greenwood Tree, prominently exhibits two different but reconcilable impulses—a desire to be a realist-historian and a desire to be a psychologist of love—but the slight interlockings of plot are not enough to bind the two completely together. Thus even this book splits into two distinct parts.
17.        Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage, based on its content?
(A) Under the Greenwood Tree: Hardy’s Ambiguous Triumph
(B) The Real and the Strange: The Novelist’s Shifting Realms
(C) Energy Versus Repose: The Role of: Ordinary People in Hardy’s Fiction
(D) Hardy’s Novelistic Impulses: The Problem of Control题目至少要有主角的名字和内容的概述，才能让人知道下面文章写的是什么
(E) Divergent Impulses: The Issue of Unity in the Novel
18.        The passage suggests that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about literary realism?看样子上面遗漏了一个重要的标注问题，就是那三句排比的分号，表示了并列的意思，不过只要知道那三句都是解释的话应该也不会做错
(A) Literary realism is most concerned with the exploration of the internal lives of ordinary human beings.不全面，只有第一句
(B) The term “literary realism” is susceptible to more than a single definition.
(C) Literary realism and an interest in psychology are likely to be at odds in a novelist’s work.
(D) “Literary realism” is the term most often used by critics in describing the method of Hardy’s novels.
(E) A propensity toward literary realism is a less interesting novelistic impulse than is an interest in the occult and the strange.
19.        The author of the passage considers a writer’s style to be
(A) a reliable means by which to measure the writer’s literary merit还记得破折号那样解释内容的标注么，merit不就是那里的worth的诠释么，而measure不就是index—指数--么
(B) most apparent in those parts of the writer’s work that are not realistic
(C) problematic when the writer attempts to follow perilous or risky impulses
(D) shaped primarily by the writer’s desire to classify and schematize
(E) the most accurate index of the writer’s literary reputation
20.        Which of the following words could best be substituted for “relaxed我们至少先知道这是个贬义的” (line 37) without substantially changing the author’s meaning?题目中有三个选项都没有在文章中出现过，个人认为在这种情况下不要根据自己的理解乱选，选择文章中没有出现的东西amounts to little more than our illusion，这个不是托福阅读，根据字面就能选择，举例子说：你的常识能告诉你文章中的perilous，risky可能是褒义的意思么，所以似乎只剩下了一个选择，但是这是个人观点，很不成熟，大家讨论，如果能彻底弄明白最好
(A) informal
(B) confined
(C) risky褒义的排除
(D) wordy
(E) metaphoric
21.        The passage supplies information to suggest that its author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about the novelists Flaubert and James?强对比取非题，比较简单
(A) They indulged more impulses in their novels than did Hardy in his novels.
(B) They have elicited a greater degree of favorable response from most literary critics than has Hardy.
(C) In the writing of their novels, they often took pains to effect a compromise among their various novelistic impulses.
(D) Regarding novelistic construction, they cared more about the opinions of other novelists than about the opinions of ordinary readers.
(E) They wrote novels in which the impulse toward realism and the impulse away from realism were evident in equal measure.
22.        Which of the following statements best describes the organization of lines 27 to 41 of the passage (“Thus…abstractly”)? 惨了，考到没读懂的那句话了，而且考的这么直接，现在只能回忆我们读懂的内容了，作者先说哈代对于观点是喜新厌旧的这样不好，然后又说这样也还可以因为没有relaxed，又说但有时候彻底不行，因为连上面的at least都没有做到，整体的感觉评价的变化是一个负正负，现在尝试着解题，并使用排除法干掉B、D、E，相信答案已经迷明显了
(A) The author makes a disapproving负评价 observation and then presents two cases, one of which leads to a qualification of his disapproval and the other of which does not.
(B) The author draws a conclusion from a previous statement, explains his conclusion in detail, and then gives a series of examples排除 that have the effect of resolving an inconsistency.
(C) The author concedes这是个正评价 a point and then makes a counterargument, using an extended comparison and contrast that qualifies his original concession.
(D) The author makes a judgment, points out an exception to his judgment, and then contradicts his original assertion.自相矛盾？！这个会是GRE作者的所作所为么
(E) The author summarizes and explains an argument and then advances a brief history排除 of opposing arguments.
23.        Which of the following statements about the use of comedy in Hardy’s novels is best supported by the passage?
(A) Hardy’s use of comedy in his novels tended to weaken his literary style.
(B) Hardy’s use of comedy in his novels was inspired by his natural sympathy.
(C) Comedy appeared less frequently in Hardy’s novels than did tragedy.定位一下第一段的三种矛盾肯定能做对
(D) Comedy played an important role in Hardy’s novels though that comedy was usually in the form of farce.
(E) Comedy played a secondary role in Hardy’s more controlled novels only.
24.        The author implies which of the following about Under the Greenwood Tree in relation to Hardy’s other novels?
(A) It is Hardy’s most thorough investigation of the psychology of love.
(B) Although it is his most controlled novel, it does not exhibit any harsh or risky impulses.
(C) It, more than his other novels, reveals Hardy as a realist interested in the history of ordinary human beings.
(D) In it Hardy’s novelistic impulses are managed somewhat程度恰到好处 better than in his other novels.
(E) Its plot这个选项很misleading，但是情节是没有提的东西，而且我们也能感觉到哈代分裂的是比较抽象的风格或者思想, like the plots of all of Hardy’s other novels, splits into two distinct parts.
