In early-twentieth-century England, it was fashionable to claim that only a completely new style of writing could address a world undergoing unprecedented transformation-just as one literary critic recently claimed that only the new "aesthetic of exploratory excess" can address a world undergoing.. well, you know. Yet in early-twentiethn-century England, T.S.Eliot, a man fascinated by the "presence" of the past, wrote the most innovative poetry of his time. The lesson for today's literary community seems obvious: a reorientation toward tradition would benefit writers no less than readers. But if our writers and critics indeed respect the novel's rich tradition(as they claim to), then why do they disdain the urge to tell an exciting story?5 m6 C/ f/ ~! Q/ d0 b

第一个问题是题目中的address是什么意思5 f4 N$ H- Z$ @7 B

第二道题是

E. A better understanding of how certain poets such as Eliot have influenced ficition of the present time
答案是A
可我怎么觉得没有一个对的，A里的engaging the audience in a narrative在文章里完全找不到啊……




另一篇是找不到原文，只能截图了。

第2题好办。看最后两句话。
The lesson for today's(present) literary community(writers and critics) seems obvious: a reorientation toward tradition would benefit writers no less than readers. But if our writers and critics indeed respect the novel's rich tradition(as they claim to), then why do they disdain the urge to tell an exciting stor

简单的说一下：
这个教训对于今天文学工作者是明显的：就是关注传统。那么既然文学工作者那么尊重传统，为什么就鄙视要讲一个激动人心的故事呢？


好了，在考场上你不需要理解，只要知道逻辑关系就行了。注意no less than ,no more than 都是什么意思。前者的意思是 前后两个都很much ;  后者的意思是前后两个都很little。

1.文学工作者要关注传统； 2. 他们鄙视讲故事的行为与他们口头上说关注传统矛盾。 ---->  所以讲故事就是关注传统的实际行为，并且是一个会对文学工作者有好处的教训。  所以A

narrative 同义变换成为story  同时也非常符合ETS的正确选项的规则。


第一个题目不太好做，只能排除法吧。通过排除法可以知道AC 是同义词，所以就排除了。
direct attention toward 就是 把注意力集中在 现在的世界上。
E也不对， 文中没有任何补偿的意思。

所以就是SPEAK TO 。 为什么说你选不对呢，就是因为文章的意思你觉得没有读懂，觉得可能是别的选项，就是因为你觉得自己没读懂意思，然后不敢选。
确实这种文学评论文章谁读了都是云里雾里的。所以对待这种文章的方法就是把逻辑层面上的关系搞懂; 当成数学题来做，放弃自己的主观思维，而是用客观思维去解题。
