光中之光

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 under-
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?

1. The author of the passage suggests that present-day
readers would particularly benefit from which of the
following changes on the part of present-day writers
and critics?
A An increased focus on the importance of
engaging the audience in a narrative
B Modernization of the traditional novelistic
elements already familiar to readers
C Embracing aspects of fiction that are generally
peripheral to the interest of readers
D A greater recognition of how the tradition of
the novel has changed over time
E A better understanding of how certain poets
such as Eliot have influenced fiction of the
present time

2.In the context of the passage as a whole, “address”
(lines 3 and 6) is closest in meaning to
A reveal
B belie
C speak to
D direct attention toward
E attempt to remediate

第一题答案是E，第二题是A
第一题是怎么看出来应该选E的啊，我觉得文章里讲述的是the orientation towards tradition啊，这跟E选项有什么关系
第二题，虽然说adress的意思是speak to，可是把这个意思带进文章里要怎么理解啊

第一题，文章提到的是E通过对过去的再现写出了他那个时代很有创造性的诗，因此作者提出的lesson是现在的作家如果能从Ｅ的身上学到一些东西做些，从而自己受益读者受益。
