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.
What is the main purpose of the passage?
选项
A、To review Oates’s By the North Gate.
B、To compare some modern writers.
C、To describe Oates’s childhood.
D、To outline Oates’s career.
答案
D
解析
主旨大意题。 本文没有明显的主旨句,我们就纵观全文来猜度作者要表达的主题思想:第1段介绍Oates年少有成,其学业历程,以及文学方面的惊人天赋和巨大潜力、创作力。第2段着重介绍Oates独特的写作风格,写作素材的源头,还有她的执教经历。总结这两段的内容,我们能够推断出全文的主题大概是;介绍 Oates的写作生涯。那么,最恰当的答案就是n项:总体介绍Oates的职业生涯。A项:通过作品《北门边》回顾Oates;B项:比较某些现代作家;C项:描写 Oates的孩提时代,A项表达的意思太狭隘,虽然文中提到《北门边》,可是并没有在这一点上费什么笔墨。B项根本就不具任何迷惑性,明显错误。C项也是一样,Oates的孩提时代文章井未提及。
