阅读36套中exercise3的第五题为什么选A啊
In Hardy‘s novels, various impulses were sacrificed to
each other inevitably and often. Inevitably, because Hardy
did not care in the way that novelists such as  
Line Flaubert or James cared, and therefore took paths of least  
5  resistance. Thus, one impulse often surrendered to a
fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a
compromise, simply disappeared. 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  
10  novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the
structure and texture of a flower. In this 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  
15  energizing impulse in favor of what was for him 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. (167 words)  



5. Which of the following statements best describes
   the organization 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.

A？

L5:”one impulse often surrendered to a fresher one and, unfortunately,instead of exacting a compromise, simple disappeared.”
这句话是讲one impulse以一种simple disappeared而不是exacting compromise的方式屈从于a fresher one.作者也暗含和对此屈从的态度即unfortunately.
接着作者给出L7:”A desire to … a flower.”解释上面L5。L7是一个长难句不懂可以查阅杨鹏难句教程。
然后又说”the new impulse was at least an energeticone, and thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style.”（注意作者的态度）
L13:”on the other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highlyenergizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse toclassify and schematize abstractly.”
作者又提出Hardy在某些场合abandoned 这种new impulse(即a perilous, risky, and highly energizing impulse)
大体思路是one impulse屈从new impulse,然后又放弃new impulse.

对！不过那个leads to a qualification 是什么意思？

嗯嗯，分析的很正确啊！但是对于答案A来说，我不太理解。。

sallyjingman

qualification 有限制条件的意思。问题中的qualifications of his disapproval 可以理解为作者对Hardy所持的“unfortunately"的否定态度要想成立，需要限定条件。该条件就是指在第一个例子中提到的 at least energetic.而这个限制条件在第二个例子中就不成立了。On other occasion，abandon了这种energetic的Impulse。因此可以说这两个例子，一个符合作者的限定条件，而一个不符合。另外B选项中的observation 还有statement, comment,remark之类的意思。
这道题我错选了B。目前找到的一个理由是 a series of 指在时间上或者空间上有顺序的一系列同等性质时间。并且作者提到的这两个例子，是在展示inconsistency前后不一致,而没有去resolve这种不一致。总之个人感觉这道题很难。。。。。

另外一种做法是看选项内部的逻辑关系A选项认为两个例子是相反的关系。而B选项认为两个例子共同服务一个目标，即resolving　ｉｎｃｏｎｓｉｓｔｅｎｃｙ　而原文中两个例子显然是对立的。所以选Ａ

今天刚做到这篇，自己琢磨了很久。楼主肯定早就分手啦，但还是希望一点拙见可以帮到后来的g友。

第三句作者认为H这种让repulse直接disappear的做法不ok，第四句作者说“a desire to throw over reality a light”（就是下一句的new repluse！）会取代一个旧repulse（记下花的结构和纹理的repluse）。以上对应答案的negative observation。

后面的 in this instance和on other occasions 对应答案的present two cases。其中in this instance说，new repulse怎么着也是energetic的，不会导致relaxed（根据该篇第一问可知relaxed即verbose），所以在这种情况下该做法还ok，这就限制了之前作者觉得H这种做法不ok的观点（对应答案a qualification of his disapproval）。但on other occasions说，这种做法也会导致verbose（对应答案the other of which
does not）
