No4-1-5阅读题目
    Thomas Hardy’s impulses as a writer, all of
  which he indulged in his novels, were numerous
  and divergent, and they did not always work
  together in harmony. Hardy was to some degree
(5)interested in exploring his characters’ psycholo-
  gies, though impelled less by curiosity than by
  sympathy. Occasionally he felt the impulse to
  comedy (in all its detached coldness) as well as
  the impulse to farce, but he was more often
(10)inclined to see tragedy and record it. He was
  also inclined to literary realism in the several
  senses of that phrase. He wanted to describe
  ordinary human beings; he wanted to speculate
  on their dilemmas rationally (and, unfortu-
(15)nately, even schematically); and he wanted to
  record precisely the material universe. Finally,
  he wanted to be more than a realist. He wanted
  to transcend what he considered to be the
  banality of solely recording things exactly and
(20)to express as well his awareness of the occult
  and the strange.
  In his novels these various impulses were
  sacrificed to each other inevitably and often.
  Inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the
(25)way that novelists such as Flaubert or James
  cared, and therefore took paths of least
  resistance. Thus, one impulse often surrendered
  to a fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of
  exacting a compromise, simply disappeared.
(30)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. In this
(35)instance, the new impulse was at least an
  energetic one, and thus its indulgence did not
  result in a relaxed style. But on other occasions
  Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly
  energizing impulse in favor of what was for him
(40)the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and
  schematize abstractly. When a relaxing impulse
  was indulged, the style—that sure index of an
  author’s literary worth—was certain to become
  verbose. Hardy’s weakness derived from his
(45)apparent inability to control the comings and
   goings of these divergent impulses and from his
  unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the
  energetic and risky ones. He submitted to first
  one and then another, and the spirit blew where
(50)it listed; hence the unevenness of any one of his
  novels. His most controlled novel, Under the
  Greenwood Tree, prominently exhibits two
  different but reconcilable impulses—a desire to
  be a realist-historian and a desire to be a
(55)psychologist of love—but the slight interlock-
  ings 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
   (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?
   (A) Literary realism is most concerned with the
     exploration of the internal lives of
     ordinary human beings.
   (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
   (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” (line37) without
   substantially changing the author’s meaning?
   (A) informal        (B) confined        (C) risky
   (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?
   (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”)?
   (A) The author makes a disapproving
     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 that have the effect of
     resolving an inconsistency.
   (C) The author concedes 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.
   (E) The author summarizes and explains an
     argument and then advances a brief
     history 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.
   (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 better than in his
     other novels.
(E) Its plot, like the plots of all of Hardy’s
   other novels, splits into two distinct
   parts.

  Upwards of a billion stars in our galaxy have
burnt up their internal energy sources, and so can no
longer produce the heat a star needs to oppose the
inward force of gravity. These stars, of more than a
few solar masses, evolve, in general, much more
rapidly than does a star like the Sun. Moreover, it is
just these more massive stars whose collapse does not
halt at intermediate stages (that is, as white dwarfs or
neutron stars). Instead, the collapse continues until
a singularity (an infinitely dense concentration of
matter) is reached.
  It would be wonderful to observe a singularity and
obtain direct evidence of the undoubtedly bizarre
phenomena that occur near one. Unfortunately in
most cases a distant observer cannot see the singu-
larity; outgoing light rays are dragged back by gravity
so forcefully that even if they could start out within a
few kilometers of the singularity, they would end up
in the singularity itself.

25. The author’s primary purpose in the passage
   is to
   (A) describe the formation and nature of
     singularities
(B)        explain why large numbers of stars
   become singularities
   (C) compare the characteristics of singularities
     with those of stars
(C)        explain what happens during the stages
   of a singularity’s formation
(D)        imply that singularities could be more
   easily studied if observers could get closer
   to them

26. The passage suggests which of the following
    about the Sun?
I.        The Sun could evolve to a stage of col-
    lapse that is less dense than a singularity.
II.        In the Sun, the inward force of gravity is
      balanced by the generation of heat.
       III. The Sun emits more observable light
            than does a white dwarf or a neutron
            star.
   (A) I only        (B) III only        (C) I and II only
   (D) II and III only        (E) I, II, and III

27. Which of the following sentences would most
   probably follow the last sentence of the passage?
   (A) Thus, a physicist interested in studying
     phenomena near singularities would
     necessarily hope to find a singularity
     with a measurable gravitational field.
(B)Accordingly, physicists to date have
   been unable to observe directly any
   singularity.
   (C) It is specifically this startling phenomenon
     that has allowed us to codify the scant
     information currently available about
     singularities.
   (D) Moreover, the existence of this extra-
     ordinary phenomenon is implied in the
     extensive reports of several physicists.
(E) Although unanticipated, phenomena such
    as these are consistent with the structure
    of a singularity.

No4-1-5 长文章，托马斯·哈代的文风，感觉却是不太好做
错题：18、19、22、24
17题：主题题，比较容易判断
18题：定位于原文L11，我选的A，只是几个want to中的一个，肯定不正确，后来发现文中的“literary realism in the several senses of that phrases”,这应该是susceptible的一个合理解释吧等待大家讨论一下，具体文中的证据是什么
19题：定位于文中L42，破折号后面的内容，完全对应题目，一个问题是最初没有定位到破折号是不是也应该标记？还有我的书上面style写成了stly，郁闷
20题：纯词汇题
21题：定位人名，强对比取非即可，和哈代的文风相反
22题：文章结构，结论-两个方面的分析，关键是没有看明白，亟需提高
23题：细节问题，定位L8-9即可
24题：定位非常容易，最高级的标记要敏感，然后题目就是考了最高级，E选项推测其他文章也存在相应的plot分开了，不能瞎推测，而且刚刚发现E中有all of，看来还是不够敏感
短文章是讲到黑洞的问题，26题错
I和II都谈到了，我竟然没有看到II，在文章的最开始部分，晕，III在文中并没有提到

NO.4-2-1长文说草原动物进化比别的快与它们在自然界中的角色有关。错21，22，23，24.
18题：定位L55左右，比较人和冷血的蜥蜴的consciousness.:意识，知觉，感觉.比较的是不同，AB错。19题：问的是那些不如步入动物聪明的。定位L54-60左右，“closer”,后面说大的捕食者能回想前一天的所以A对。而在莫名，so猫和linak的6G阅读日记中他们认为是“L61在比较之后说n是不同的，因此还是取非就可以选到A了，”，不太理解！！！|

(1)The evolution of intelligence among early
    large mammals of the grasslands was due in
    great measure to the interaction between two
    ecologically synchronized groups of these ani-
(5) mals, the hunting carnivores and the herbivores
    that they hunted. The interaction resulting from
    the differences between predator and prey led to
    a general improvement in brain functions; how-
    ever, certain components of intelligence were
(10) improved far more than others.
      The kind of intelligence favored by the inter-
    play of increasingly smarter catchers and
    increasingly keener escapers is defined by
    attention—that aspect of mind carrying con-
(15) sciousness forward from one moment to the
    next. It ranges from a passive, free-floating
    awareness to a highly focused, active fixation.
    The range through these states is mediated by
    the arousal system, a network of tracts converg-
(20) ing from sensory systems to integrating centers
    in the brain stem. From the more relaxed to the
    more vigorous levels, sensitivity to novelty is
    increased. The organism is more awake, more
    vigilant; this increased vigilance results in the
(25) apprehension of ever more subtle signals as the
    organism becomes more sensitive to its sur-
    roundings. The processes of arousal and concen-
    tration give attention its direction. Arousal is at
    first general, with a flooding of impulses in the
(30) brain stem; then gradually the activation is
    channeled. Thus begins concentration, the hold-
    ing of consistent images. One meaning of intelli-
    gence is the way in which these images and other
    alertly searched information are used in the con-
(35) text of previous experience. Consciousness links
  past attention to the present and permits the
  integration of details with perceived ends and  
  purposes.
      The elements of intelligence and conscious-
(40) ness come together marvelously to produce dif-
  ferent styles in predator and prey. Herbivores
  and carnivores develop different kinds of atten-
  tion related to escaping or chasing. Although in
  both kinds of animal, arousal stimulates the
(45) production of adrenaline and norepinephrine by
  the adrenal glands, the effect in herbivores is pri-
  marily fear, whereas in carnivores the effect is
  primarily aggression. For both, arousal attunes
  the animal to what is ahead. Perhaps it does not
(50) experience forethought as we know it, but the
  animal does experience something like it. The
  predator is searchingly aggressive, innerdirected,
  tuned by the nervous system and the adrenal
  hormones, but aware in a sense closer to human
(55) consciousness than, say, a hungry lizard’s instinc-
  tive snap at a passing beetle. Using past events
  as a framework, the large mammal predator is
  working out a relationship between movement
  and food, sensitive to possibilities in cold trails
(60) and distant sounds—and yesterday’s unforgotten
  lessons. The herbivore prey is of a different
  mind. Its mood of wariness rather than searching
  and its attitude of general expectancy instead of
  anticipating are silk-thin veils of tranquility over
  an explosive endocrine system.

17. The author is primarily concerned with
   (A) disproving the view that herbivores are less
     intelligent than carnivores
   (B) describing a relationship between animals’
     intelligence and their ecological roles
   (C)establishing a direct link between early large
     mammals and their modern counterparts
   (D) analyzing the ecological basis for the
     dominance of some carnivores over other
     carnivores
   (E) demonstrating the importance of hormones
     in mental activity

18. The author refers to a hungry lizard (line 55)
   primarily in order to
   (A) demonstrate the similarity between the
     hunting methods of mammals and those
     of nonmammals
   (B) broaden the application of his argument by
     including an insectivore as an example
   (C) make a distinction between higher and
     lower levels of consciousness
   (D) provide an additional illustration of the
     brutality characteristic of predators
   (E) offer an objection to suggestions that all
     animals lack consciousness

19. It can be inferred from the passage that in
   animals less intelligent than the mammals
   discussed in the passage
   (A) past experience is less helpful in ensuring
     survival
   (B) attention is more highly focused
   (C) muscular coordination is less highly
     developed
   (D) there is less need for competition among
     species
   (E) environment is more important in estab-
     lishing the proper ratio of prey to
     predator

20. The sensitivity described in lines 56-61 is most
   clearly an example of
   (A) “free-floating awareness” (lines 16-17)
   (B) “flooding of impulses in the brain stem”
      (lines 29-30)
   (C) “the holding of consistent images”
      (lines 31-32)
   (D) “integration of details with perceived ends
      and purposes” (lines 37-38)
   (E) “silk-thin veils of tranquility” (line 64)

21. The author’s attitude toward the mammals dis-
   cussed in the passage is best described as
    (A) superior and condescending
    (B) lighthearted and jocular
    (C) apologetic and conciliatory
    (D) wistful and tender
    (E) respectful and admiring

22. The author provides information that would
   answer which of the following questions?
  I. Why is an aroused herbivore usually
    fearful?
II. What are some of the degrees of
        attention in large mammals?
III. What occurs when the stimulus that
   causes arousal of a mammal is removed?
   (A) I only        (B) III only        (C) I and II only
   (D) II and III only        (E) I, II and III

23. According to the passage, improvement in brain
   function among early large mammals resulted
   primarily from which of the following?
   (A) Interplay of predator and prey
   (B) Persistence of free-floating awareness in
     animals of the grasslands
   (C) Gradual dominance of warm-blooded mam-
     mals over cold-blooded reptiles
   (D) Interaction of early large mammals with less
     intelligent species
   (E) Improvement of the capacity for memory
     among herbivores and carnivores

24. According to the passage, as the process of
   arousal in an organism continues, all of the
   following may occur EXCEPT
   (A) the production of adrenaline
   (B) the production of norepinephrine
   (C) a heightening of sensitivity to stimuli
   (D) an increase in selectivity with respect to
     stimuli
   (E) an expansion of the range of states mediated
     by the brain stem

  Tocqueville, apparently, was wrong.Jacksonian
America was not a fluid, egalitarian society where
individual wealth and poverty were ephemeral condi-
tions. At least to argues E. Pessen in his iconoclastic
study of the very rich in the United States between
1825 and 1850.
    Pessen does present a quantity of examples,
together with some refreshingly intelligible statistics,
to establish the existence of an inordinately wealthy
class. Though active in commerce or the professions,
most of the wealthy were not self-made, but had in-
herited family fortunes. In no sense mercurial, these
great fortunes survived the financial panics that de-
stroyed lesser ones. Indeed, in several cities the
wealthiest one percent constantly increased its share
until by 1850 it owned half of the community’s wealth.
   Although these observations are true, Pessen over-
estimates their importance by concluding from them
that the undoubted progress toward inequality in the
late eighteenth century continued in the Jacksonian
period and that the United States was a class-ridden,
plutocratic society even before industrialization.

25. According to the passage, Pessen indicates that
   all of the following were true of the very wealthy
   in the United States between 1825 and 1850
   EXCEPT:
    (A) They formed a distinct upper class.
    (B) Many of them were able to increase their
      holdings.
    (C) Some of them worked as professionals or in
      business.
    (D) Most of them accumulated their own
      fortunes.
    (E) Many of them retained their wealth in spite
      of financial upheavals.

26. The author’s attitude toward Pessen’s presenta-
   tion of statistics can be best described as
    (A) disapproving                   (B) shocked
    (C) suspicious        (D) amused        (E) laudatory

27. Which of the following best states the author’s
    main point?
   (A) Pessen’s study has overturned the pre-
     viously established view of the social
     and economic structure of early nineteenth-
     century America.
   (B) Tocqueville’s analysis of the United States
     in the Jacksonian era remains the definitive
     account of this period.
   (C) Pessen’s study is valuable primarily because
     it shows the continuity of the social
     system in the United States throughout
     the nineteenth century.
   (D) The social patterns and political power of
     the extremely wealthy in the United
     States between 1825 and 1850 are well
     documented.
   (E) Pessen challenges a view of the social and
     economic system in the United States
     from 1825 to 1850, but he draws con-
     clusions that are incorrect.

刚刚完成No4-2-1的两个阅读，来说说看
长阅读，错18、21、22、24
18题：没有看见前面有个小小的than，前面是说一种接近人类意识的东西，后面说的是蜥蜴的本能反应
21题：好几个词不认识，没办法，回去查查记下来
22题：臆断，总觉得里面谈到了III，没有确定就选上了
24题：本来选对了，最后才发现定位L57-61，就可以找到selectivity
[/color=red]你上面说的19题的问题，我比较同意你的看法
短阅读,错26题
26题:题目都没有看清楚，以为是作者对于Pessen的观点的态度，没看见presentation of statistics,定位于第三段开头although these observations are true，可以知道确实是laudatory

to iceoolong  关于哈代18题
文中L10说"He was also inclined to literary realism in the several senses of that phrase." 后面还紧跟着并列句来结束具体. 因此这题该选B的"more than a singal definition".

ps: 我早就报到了,但是这两天都在家里过中秋,没有来参加讨论,不好意思了:$, orangetree & iceoolong 不要生气哦.今天开始一定跟上大家的进度.:):):victory:.大家一起加油!!

juliegogoUID: 185737

no4 第2套的长文章好难啊,而且觉得没法划标记, 然后题目也出的怪.
来说一下吧, 我错了19,20,21,22,24(天哪,惨不忍睹啊)
19题,本来想用"animals less intelligent than mammals"来定位的,结果看了半天也不知道答案在哪.看了这个定位是不对的.然后又看了半天才觉得L56那句"using past events as a framework ,……yesterday's unforgetten lessons"才选上A，（唉，真是累啊）
20题，同上题，也不觉得这句话有什么重点的，居然考2题。晕~~~~~
21题，且不说这个含盖了全文的题目，就单看选项就能把你看晕。看了半天也不知道为什么选“respectful and admiring”.谁能告诉我啊！！
22题 多选了III，没看到III说的是removed the stimulus.
23,讨厌EXCEPT题，每个选项都要看，然后再去原文定位， 回头再慢慢看吧。

no 4-2-1的短文章就简单很多了。全对了，没错，呵呵。
