问题    The two modern writers whose influence on young novelists has been most pervasive are probably James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway. There is no telling how many young writers have gone astray trying to emulate Joyce’s complexity of language and Hemingway’s misleading simplicity.
   I was reminded of that as I read Nicholas Delblanco’s Fathering, an often exasperating novel, because it is so needlessly obscure and reveals so much talent and so little disciplining of that talent.
   The internal maundering of Delblanco’s characters would probably interest a psychoanalyst, trained to decipher their significance as sign posts, But novelists should not write for the edification of psychoanalysts. Ostensibly reproducing the unorganized thoughts, memories and impressions flowing through a character’s mind is not often the best way to make that character comprehensible.
   Such thoughts, memories and impressions become chaotic. The job of the artist is to bring some order and meaning out of that chaos, not to compound it, and to clarify, not befog, the nature of the character.
The underlined word "exasperating"(Para2) most probably means
选项 A、doing better
B、making frustrated
C、irritating very much
D、pacifying
答案C
解析 根据第二段“1 was reminded of that as l read Nicholas Delblanco’s Fathering，an often exasperating Hovel，because it is so needlessly obscure and reveals so much talent and so little disciplining of that talent’’，就可断定exasperating为贬义词，故[A]和[D]错误。另外，我们分别以[B]和[C]替代原文中的exasperating，就不难发现[C]用在此处,能使上下义文通字顺，语义连贯，能够表达出作者的思想，故可肯定[C]为正确答案。
