真经GRE阅读机经365篇-Passage 51
The relevance of the literary personality—a writer’s distinctive attitudes, concerns, and artistic choices—to the analysis of a literary work is being scrutinized by various schools of contemporary criticism. Deconstructionists view the literary personality, like the writer’s biographical personality, as irrelevant. The proper focus of literary analysis, they argue, is a work’s intertextuality( interrelationship with other texts), subtexts (unspoken, concealed, or repressed discourses), and metatexts (self-referential aspects), not a perception of a writer’s verbal and aesthetic “fingerprints.” New historicists also devalue the literary personality, since, in their emphasis on a work’s historical contexts, they credit a writer with only those insights and ideas that were generally available when the writer lived. However, to readers interested in literary detective work--say scholars of classical( Greek and Roman) literature who wish to reconstruct damaged texts or deduce a work’s authorship—the literary personality sometimes provides vital clues.
1. The passage is primarily concerned with
A. discussing attitudes toward a particular focus for literary analysis
B. describing the limitations of two contemporary approaches to literary analysis
C. pointing out the similarities among seemingly contrasting approaches to literary analysis
D. defending the resurgence of a particular focus for literary analysis
E. defining a set of related terms employed in literary criticism
For the following question, consider each of the choice separately and select all that apply.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that on the issue of how to analyze a literary work, the new historicists would most likely agree with the deconstructionists that
A. The writer’s insights and ideas should be understood in terms of the writer’s historical context.
B. The writer’s literary personality has little or no relevance.
C. The critic should primarily focus on intertextuality, subtexts and metatexts.
3. In the context in which it appears, “credit writer with” most nearly means
A. trust a writer with
B. applaud a writer for
C. believe a writer created
D. presume a writer had
E. accept a writer for美国留学网
真经GRE阅读机经365篇-Passage 38
Astronomers who study planet formation once believed that comets—because they remain mostly in the distant Oort cloud, where temperatures are close to absolute zero—must be pristine relics of the material that formed the outer planets. The conceptual shift away from seeing comets as pristine relics began in the 1970s, when laboratory simulations revealed there was sufficient ultraviolet radiation reaching comets to darken their surfaces and there were sufficient cosmic rays to alter chemical bonds or even molecular structure near the surface. Nevertheless, astronomers still believed that when a comet approached the Sun—where they could study it—the Sun’s intense heat would remove the corrupted surface layer, exposing the interior. About the same time, though, scientists realized comets might contain decaying radioactive isotopes that could have warmed cometary interiors to temperatures that caused the interiors to evolve. 、
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
1. According to the passage, astronomers recognize which of the following as being liable to cause changes to comets?
A. cosmic rays
B. radioactive decay
C. ultraviolet radiation
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
2. According to the passage, astronomers’ belief that comets are pristine relics was
A. overturned by analysis of what happens when comets approach the Sun
B. supported by what observations revealed about the composition of the outer planets
C. based on consideration of the conditions that prevail where comets are located
3. The author suggests that the realization described in the final sentence of the passage had which of the following effects?
A. It introduced a new topic for study by astronomers interested in planetary formation.
B. It led astronomers to adopt a number of different strategies in trying to determine the composition of cometary interiors.
C. It called into question an assumption that astronomers had made about comets.
D. It cast doubt on astronomers’ ability to study the interior parts of comets,
E. It caused astronomers to revise their account of the composition of the outer planets.
4. It can be inferred that the author would agree with which of the following statements about the “laboratory simulations”?
A. The simulations showed that despite the low temperatures in the Oort cloud, there was sufficient energy there to alter comets.
B. Astronomers were initially reluctant to accept what simulations showed about the composition of comets.
C. The simulations themselves did not eliminate the possibility that comets contain pristine relics of material from the early solar system.
真经GRE阅读机经365篇-Passage 59
Recent studies of ancient Maya water management have found that the urban architecture of some cities was used to divert rainfall runoff into gravity-fed systems of interconnected reservoirs. In the central and southern May Lowlands, this kind of water control was necessary to support large populations throughout the year due to the scarcity of perennial surface water and the seasonal availability of rainfall. Some scholars argue that the concentration of water within the urban core of these sites provided a centralized source of political authority for Maya elites based largely on controlled water access. Such an argument is plausible, however, it is less useful for understanding the sociopolitical implications of water use and control in other, water-rich parts of the Maya region.
1. The author of the passage implies which of the following about the political importance of the type of urban water management system described in the passage?
A. Because the system was centralized, it allowed political control over a widely scattered population.
B. The knowledge required to design and maintain the system became the pretext for Maya elites’ political authority.
C. By selectively limiting access to water, Maya elites used the system to curb challenges to their authority
D. The system is not sufficient to explain the sources of centralized political power in all parts of the Maya region
E. The system’s continued maintenance required political authorities to exert control over an increasing proportion of economic resources.
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
2. According to the passage, which of the following is true of the water management systems in the central and southern Maya Lowlands?
A. They were implemented in part because of the prevailing pattern of rainfall.
B. They were an integral part of lowland cities’ architecture.
C. They were needed because of insufficient resources such as ponds, rivers and lakes in the lowlands.
