pp2-Test1 Raisin in the Sun和In early-twentieth century的阅读题

纵岛小姐UID: 3151932

In Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry does not reject integration or the economic and moral promise of the American dream; rather, she remains loyal to this dream while looking, realistically, at its incomplete realization. Once we recognize this dual vision, we can accept the play's ironic nuances as deliberate social commentaries by Hansberry rather than as the "unintentional" irony that Bigsby attributes to the work. Indeed a curiously persistent refusal to credit Hansberry with a capacity for intentional irony has led some critics to interpret the play's thematic conflicts as mere confusion, contradiction, or eclecticism. Isaacs, for example, cannot easily reconcile Hansberry's intense concern for her race with her ideal of human reconciliation. But the play's complex view of Black self-esteem and human solidarity as compatible is no more "contradictory" than Du Bois' famous, well-considered ideal of ethnic self-awareness coexisting with human unity, or Fanon's emphasis on an ideal internationalism that also accommodates national identities and roles. (158 words)

It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about Hansberry‘s use of irony in Raisin in the Sun？


1.It shows in the play's thematic conflicts.


2 It is justified by Hansberry‘s loyalty to a favorable depiction of American life.


3 It reflects Hansberry‘s reservations about the extent to which the American dream has been realized.




是多选题，完全不懂选什么啊？？？？pp2上的题目果然和xdf的不是一个等级啊！！！
答案是1和3

In early-twentieth-century England, it was fashionable to claim that only a completely new style of writing could address a world undergoing unprecedented transformation-just as one literary critic recently claimed that only the new "aesthetic of exploratory excess" can address a world undergoing.. well, you know. Yet in early-twentiethn-century England, T.S.Eliot, a man fascinated by the "presence" of the past, wrote the most innovative poetry of his time. The lesson for today's literary community seems obvious: a reorientation toward tradition would benefit writers no less than readers. But if our writers and critics indeed respect the novel's rich tradition(as they claim to), then why do they disdain the urge to tell an exciting story?


问题是题目中的address是什么意思
speak to
belie
reveal
direct attention toward
attempt to remediate
答案是speak to
可是我觉得都不对啊？？？speak to 替换进去根本说不通啊！我觉得应该是make的意思

还有一道题也是这篇文章
The author of the passage suggests that present-day readers would particularly benefit from which of the following changes on the part of present-day writers and critics?

A. An increased focus on the importance of engaging the audience in a narrative.

B. Modernization of the traditional novelistic elements already familiar to readers.

C. Embracing aspects of ficition that are generally peripheral to the interest of readers.

D. A greater recognition of how the tradition of the novel has changed over time.

E. A better understanding of how certain poets such as Eliot have influenced ficition of the present time.



完全不知道怎么做！！这篇文章就没看懂！还说什么well,you know你懂的。。真让人无语！！T-T
救命啊后天就考试了！！！

答案3， 意思是 表明了作者Hansberry，对美国梦能在多大程度上实现有所保留。
上文中的第三行提到了一个dual vision, 就是incomplete realization of American dream.

1、问题：作者相信一下哪些论述，关于Hansberry在 R这个作品中对于反讽的使用？

答案1，就是原文中的一句话啊，所以是对的。
答案2，（这些反讽的使用）是有道理的，因为Hansberry对于美国式生活积极的好的正面描述depiction，而展现出的忠诚（一贯性）。
文中【】内的句子，说明了作者对美国式生活不是正面的、积极的描述，她一直是dual vision,没有favorable。她的loyalty是对美国式生活，美国梦的。而不是对文字的depiction方式。所以错误。

答案3， 意思是 表明了作者Hansberry对美国梦能在多大程度上实现有所保留。
上文中的第三行提到了一个dual vision, 就是incomplete realization of American dream.与选项的意思完全符合的。所以是正确的。

8# coco3263 喔！谢谢！
求您再解释下后面两题～～～

coco3263UID: 16360

address的一个意思就是“就某一个问题表达观点……”，选项中 我一开始选的是reveal，表达，但是在这篇文章里，speak to更适合吧。


第三题：
The lesson for today's literary community seems obvious: a reorientation toward tradition would benefit writers no less than readers
这句话提到了要重视读者，要扭转传统的文学样式，要对读者有益处，才会对作者有益处。这句话有一个句式：No less than,这个词组经常考，意思其实是 “相等的”，而不是谁多谁少。


所以选择A，An increased focus on the importance of engaging the audience in a narrative，要在文学叙事中，更多地关注到读者的存在。

第二题以前一共有25%的人选对。。。难怪看了几遍还是理解不了，放弃了；第三题以前有63%的人选对，应该是容易题，可是为什么觉得是reveal呢。。。估计又是非母语不能理解的精妙

不知道现在回复你还有没有用，就当给后面需要的做解答吧。文中作者明确指出了要reorientation toward tradition这样才能benefit readers，而文中最后一句又用特别绕的方式说出了所谓的tradition其实就是telling story。所以选A，narrative
