Jean Wagner‘s most enduring contribution to the study of Afro-American poetry is his insistence that it be analyzed in a religious, as well as secular, frame of   reference. （第二题）The appropriateness of such an approach may  seem self-evident for a tradition commencing with spirituals and owing its early forms, rhythms, vocabulary, and evangelical fervor to Wesleyan hymnals. But before Wagner a secular outlook that analyzed Black poetry solely within the context of political and social protest   was dominant in the field.  It is Wagner who first demonstrated the essential fusion of racial and religious feeling in Afro-American poetry. The two, he argued, form a symbiotic union in which religious feelings are often applied to racial issues  and racial problems are often projected onto a metaphysical plane. Wagner found this most eloquently illustrated in the Black spiritual, where the desire for freedom in this world and the hope for salvation in the next are inextricably intertwined.

2. All of the following aspects of Afro-American  poetry are referred to in the passage as having been  influenced by Wesleyan hymnals EXCEPT  
(A) subject matter  
(B) word choice   
(C) rhythm
  (D) structure  
  (E) tone   

定位到红色句子，我觉得选A啊，E tone是指基调的意思吗？

3. It can be inferred from the passage that, before  Wagner, most students of Afro-American poetry did  which of the following?  

(A) Contributed appreciably to the transfer of  political protest from Afro-American poetry to  direct political action.   

(B) Ignored at least some of the historical roots of   Afro-American poetry.  

(C) Analyzed fully the aspects of social protest  to be found in such traditional forms of Afro- American poetry as the Black spiritual.

(D) Regarded as unimportant the development of fervent emotionalism in a portion of Afro-American poetry.   

(E) Concentrated on the complex relations between the technical elements in Afro- American poetry and its political content.

这个答案选B。。。尼玛不该是E吗？




吐槽一下，状态一直不稳定，碰到喜欢的文章有时全对，不喜欢的就3道错两个。。。

第2题是选A，evangelical fervor 指的就是tone
第3题明显选B，history roots指的就是fusion of racial and religious feeling in Afro-American poetry. E和文章有关吗，technical elements 根本无从推及

evangelical是修饰fervor的，无论你理解为extreme还是related to religion，evangelical fervor都是这个tradition的一个基调，好比你非常passion的讲述一件事，就是tone

选B。
排除法：
A。transfer ---out of scope
B。history roots?这个词太大，可能是对的，但未必是最好的答案。所以为不确定。
C。social protests is NOT found in tradition. out of scope.
D.development of fervent emotionalism. out of scope.
E.technical elements. out of scope.

所以B
