文章：

The sweep of narrative in A. N. Wilson's biography of C. S. Lewis is impressive and there is much that is acute and well argued. But much in this work is careless and unworthy of its author. Wilson, a novelist and an accomplished biographer, has failed to do what any writer on such a subject as Lewis ought to do, namely work out a coherent view of how the various literary works by the subject are to be described and commented on. Decisions have to be made on what to look at in detail and what to pass by with just a mention. Wilson has not thought this problem out. For instance, Till We Have Faces, Lewis' treatment of the Eros and Psyche story and one of his best-executed and most moving works, is merely mentioned by Wilson, though it illuminates Lewis' spiritual development, whereas Lewis' minor work Pilgrim's Regress is looked at in considerable detail.


4.The author of the passage implies that Wilson's examination of Pilgrim's Regress

A was disproportionately long relative to the amount of effort Lewis devoted to writing Pilgrim's Regress.

B was more extensive than warranted because of the relative unimportance of Pilgrim's Regress

C is not as coherent as his treatment of Till We Have Faces

这道题答案是B， 但我选了AB，不知道A为什么不对呀。。。

5.The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements regarding
Till We Have Faces?  

(A) It is an improvement over the Eros and Psyche story on which it is based.  

(B) It illustrated Lewis' attempt to involve his readers emotionally in the story of Eros and Psyche.

(C) It was more highly regarded by Wilson than by Lewis himself.  

(D) It is one of the outstanding literary achievements of Lewis' career.  

(E) It is probably one of the most popular of Lewis' works.  

这个答案是D，但我选了E，觉得D和E很相似。。。求指点~ 谢谢了

额，今天回顾完Exercise 30，不知道这算不算挖坑啊。

第4题：
A项说的是W对PR着墨太多，和Lewis写作PR时下的功夫不成正比，原文只是说PR is a minor work, 不如Till那部很重要，不等于Lewis花的心思少，choice A is out of text

第5题：
best-executed(最好的)和moving(最动人的) != most popular
