5. Johnson is on firm ground when he asserts that the early editors of Dickinson’s poetry often distorted her intentions. Yet Johnson’s own, more faithful, text is still guilty of its own forms of distortion. To standardize Dickinson’s often indecipherable handwritten punctuation by the use of the dash is to render permanent a casual mode of poetic phrasing that Dickinson surely never expected to see in print. It implies that Dickinson chose the dash as her typical mark of punctuation when, in fact, she apparently never made any definitive choice at all. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s main point? (A) Although Johnson is right in criticizing Dickinson’s early editors for their distortion of her work, his own text is guilty of equally serious distortions. (B) Johnson’s use of the dash in his text of Dickinson’s poetry misleads readers about the poet’s intentions. (C) Because Dickinson never expected her poetry to be published, virtually any attempt at editing it must run counter to her intentions. (D) Although Johnson’s attempt to produce a more faithful text of Dickinson’s poetry is well-meaning, his study of the material lacks sufficient thoroughness.(B) (E) Dickinson’s editors, including Johnson, have failed to deal adequately with the problem of deciphering Dickinson’s handwritten manuscripts 第5题虽然有讨论过,但是还是不理解为什么选B 觉得B完全跟问题不搭啊~~ As one who has always believed that truth is our nation’s surest weapon in the propaganda war against our foes, I am distressed by reports of “disinformation” campaigns by American intelligence agents in Western Europe. In a disinformation campaign, untruths are disseminated through gullible local journalists in order to damage the interests of our enemies and protect our own. Those who defend this practice say that lying is necessary to counter Soviet disinformation campaigns aimed at damaging America’s political interests. These apologists contend that one must fight fire with fire. I would point out to the apologists that the fire department finds water more effective. 11. The author’s main point is that (A) although disinformation campaigns may be effective, they are unacceptable on ethical grounds (B) America’s moral standing in the world depends on its adherence to the truth (C) the temporary political gains produced by disinformation campaigns generally give way to long-term losses (D) Soviet disinformation campaigns have done little to damage America’s standing in Europe (E) (E) disinformation campaigns do not effectively serve the political interests of the United States 11题为什么要选E,C哪里不对呢? 请高人指教! |
