1905NA 小说 买房之前的患得患失
文章分析:
小说的场景阅读法别忘了。
Blurb里的人物介绍在本文最后附。
这篇文章本身相对来说结构比较清晰,总共三段,每一段就是一幕。
第一段,这俩哥们没事就聊房子。
中间Line 10-15(不同版本行数可能不同,我在更新的时候会直接上截图),连续四个since的并列结构,可以略读。
第二段,收到来信,激动不已,患得患失怕得不到房子。
中间Line 45-52是对房子的具体描述,可以略读。
这一段考点密集,在题目解析中再回来定位。
第三段,出发去房子途中的所思所想。
整篇文章心理描写较多,属与难度中等偏难的篇章。
题型分析:
1 结构题
focus shift主要会在不同的幕中出现。
A unhappiness 没有证据/相反,对应Line 5
B 整个选项都完整出现在第一幕当中
C 脱离主旨,也同B,都还在第一幕当中,另外similarity没有证据/相反,对应那四个since的平行结构。
D 正确,第二幕与第三幕间的切换。
2 直接细节题,定位+同义替换
对应Line 10-15那四个since并列
没有循证也要去精准定位。
A 有一定的干扰,但其实没有available的证据
C D都有错误信息,很好排。
3 C
4 直接细节,直接定位Line 39
5 间接细节
定位读完信之后的Line 53-55
6 上一题的循证,所以组合询证应该是先做上一题,下一题定位就是白送的分。偶尔可以用循证的定位来缩小定位范围,遇到我们再说。
7 间接细节,定位Line 56 直接做
8 同上
9 结构+段落主旨题
结合段落主旨可解
A ligical conclusion没有证据
C heighten drama没有证据
D new setting没有证据
10 结构,信息目的题,难题,可以通过排除法来做
B 这些词不是用来形容Lamb House的
C 并没有做contrast
D 无关,用错了答题区间。这都是第二幕的内容了。
背景拓展

Henry James OM (15 April 1843 – 28 February 1916) was an American-British author regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of Henry James Sr. and the brother of renowned philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
He is best known for a number of novels dealing with the social and marital interplay between emigre Americans, English people, and continental Europeans. Examples of such novels include The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, and The Wings of the Dove. His later works were increasingly experimental. In describing the internal states of mind and social dynamics of his characters, James often made use of a style in which ambiguous or contradictory motives and impressions were overlaid or juxtaposed in the discussion of a character's psyche. For their unique ambiguity, as well as for other aspects of their composition, his late works have been compared to impressionist painting.
James also published articles and books of criticism, travel, biography, autobiography, and plays. Born in the United States, James largely relocated to Europe as a young man and eventually settled in England, becoming a British subject in 1915, one year before his death. James was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912 and 1916.
