Joyce Carol Oates published her first collection of short stories, By The North Gate, in 1963, two years after she had received her master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin and become an instructor of English at the University of Detroit. Her productivity since then has been prodigious, accumulating in less than two decades to nearly thirty titles, including novels, collections of short stories and verses, plays, and literary criticism. In the meantime, she has continued to teach, moving in 1967 from the University of Detroit to the University of verses, in Ontario, and, in 1978, to Princeton University. Reviewers have admired her enormous energy, but find a productivity of such magnitude difficult to assess.
In a period characterized by the abandonment of so much of the realistic tradition by authors such as John Barth, Donald Barthelme, and Thomas Pynchon, Joyce Carol Oates has seemed at times determinedly old fashioned in her insistence on the essentially mimetic quality of her fiction. Hers is a world of violence, insanity, fractured love, and hopeless loneliness. Although some of it appears to come from her own direct observations, her dreams, and her fears, much more is clearly from the experiences of others. Her first novel, With Shuddering FaU(1964), dealt with stock car racing, though she had never seen a race. In Them (1969) she focused on Detroit from the Depression through the riots of 1967, drawing much of her material from the deep impression made on her by the problems of one of her students. Whatever the source and however shocking the events or the motivations, however, her fictive world remains strikingly akin to that real one reflected in the daily newspapers, the television, news, and talk shows, and the popular magazines of our day.
Which of the following does the passage suggest about Joyce Carol Oates in terms of her writing career?
选项
A、She has experienced long nonproductive periods in her writing.
B、Her style is imitative of other contemporary authors.
C、She has produced a surprising amount of fictions in a relative short time.
D、Most of her work is based on personal experience.
答案
C
解析
细节定位题。第1段第2句是:Her productivity since then has been prodigious, accumulating in less than two decades to nearly thirty titles,including novels, collections of short storms and verses, plays, and literary criticism. 意思是:从那以后她的创作力一直比较旺盛,在不到20年的时间里出了30多部作品。答案C项“在相对较短的时期里,创作的作品数量惊人”与原文表达的意思相符,所以C项正确。
