8 i; d, Z) \) L+ x( q+ P( p; Y1 r感觉这套题的类比的思路已经和新题相当接近了,有点刁钻,没有更老的题目那么直白,比如section5里面的10(程度);词也有难度,比如section2的10,13,考了两个熟词僻意,section5里面的punch line和martinet。不过还没有到新题的那么大。
+ c9 j. F p8 U7 l填空难度稍微有些大,有题目我看了陈圣元的解释还是觉得不太合理,放在2楼跟大家讨论下。而阅读相对简单一些,文章从定位到解题都没有特别难的地方。

Although Victor Turner’s writings have proved ) N5 k, e; ]/ e: G" H5 P4 o. q
$ k/ D1 S8 V B& T: h fruitful for fields beyond anthropology, his definition of ritual is overly restrictive. Ritual, he says, is “pre- list scribed formal behavior for occasions not given over (5) to technological routine, having reference to beliefs in mystical beings or powers,” “ Technological routine” refers to the means by which a social group provides for its material needs. Turner’s differentiating ritual from technology helps us recognize that festivals and (10) celebrations may have little purpose other than play, but it obscures the practical aims, such as making crops grow or healing patients, of other rituals. Further, Turner’s definition implies a necessary relationship between ritual and mystical beliefs. However, not all (15) rituals are religious; some religions have no reference to mystical beings; and individuals may be required

% y8 Z2 S5 Q7 V/ ~ Before Laura Gilpin (1891-1979), few women in the history of photography had so devoted themselves to chronicling the landscape. Other women had photo- linegraphed the land, but none can be regarded as a land- (5) scape photographer with a sustained body of work documenting the physical terrain. Anne Brigman often photographed woodlands and coastal areas, but They were generally settings for her artfully placed subjects. Dorothea Lange's landscapes were always (10)conceived of as counterparts to her portraits of rural women. At the same time that Gilpin's interest in landscape work distinguished her from most other women pho- tographers, her approach to landscape photography set (15)her apart from men photographers who, like Gilpin, documented the western United States. Western American landscape photography grew out of a male tradition, pioneered by photographers attached to government and commercial survey teams that went (20)west in the 1860's and 1870's. These explorer- photographers documented the West that their employers wanted to see: an exotic and majestic land shaped by awesome natural forces, unpopulated and ready for American settlement. The next generation (25)of male photographers, represented by Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter, often worked with conservationist groups rather than government agencies or commer- cial companies, but they nonetheless preserved the “heroic” style and maintained the role of respectful (30)outsider peering in with reverence at a fragile natural world. For Gilpin, by contrast, the landscape was neither an empty vista awaiting human settlement nor a jewel-like scene resisting human intrusion, but a (35) peopled landscape with a rich history and tradition of its own, an environment that shaped and molded the lives of its inhabitants. Her photographs of the Rio Grande, for example, consistently depict the river in terms of its significance to human culture: as a source (40) of irrigation water, a source of food for livestock, and a provider of town sites. Also instructive is Gilpin's general avoidance of extreme close-ups of her natural subjects: for her, emblematic details could never suggest the intricacies of the interrelationship between (45) people and nature that made the landscape a compel- ling subject. While it is dangerous to draw conclusions about a“feminine” way of seeing from the work of one woman, it can nonetheless be argued that Gilpin's unique approach to landscape photography was anal- (50)ogous to the work of many women writers who, far more than their male counterparts, described the land- scape in terms of its potential to sustain human life. Gilpin never spoke of herself as a photographer with a feminine perspective: she eschewed any (55)discussion of gender as it related to her work and maintained little interest in interpretations that relied on the concept of a “woman's eye.” Thus it is ironic that her photographic evocation of a historical landscape should so clearly present a distinctively feminine approach to landscape photography.
