问题     African American drama has, until recently, been rooted in the mimetic tradition of modern American naturalism. The most distinctive attribute of this tradition is the mechanistic, materialistic conception of humanity. Naturalism sees each individual as inextricably bound to the environment and depicts each person as someone controlled by, instead of controlling, concrete reality. As long as African American drama maintained naturalism as its dominant mode, it could only express the “plight of African American people”， Its heroes might declare the madness of reality, but reality inevitably triumphed over them.
    The surrealistic plays of Adrienne Kennedy mark one of the first departures from naturalism by an African American dramatist. The overall goal of her work has been to depict the world of the soul and the spirit, not to mirror concrete reality. Within this framework, Kennedy has been able to portray African American minds and souls liberated from their connections to the external environment.
Which of the following statements, if true, would most strengthen the authors assertion that Kennedy’s work marks a serious departure from the tradition described in the first paragraph?
选项 A、Kennedy places the action in a real-life setting that is nevertheless unfamiliar to the average viewer or reader.
B、Kennedy movingly portrays the lives and struggles of prominent African Americans in the United States.
C、Kennedy uses characters found only in ancient African legends and mythology.
D、Kennedy provides insights into American mimetic tradition and dramatic convention.
E、Kennedy depicts the events in a style reminiscent of a television documentary.
答案C
解析 本题属于加强题，选择和“非现实”有关的选项。legends and mythology对应的便是非现实，因此该项属于列举证据加强。A项“现实生活”对应的是“现实”，属于削弱。B项“非裔美国人的生活和悲惨遭遇”根据第一段可知表示“现实主义”，属于削弱。D项“美国模仿传统和戏剧传统”对应的也是“现实主义”。属于削弱。E项“电视纪录片的风格”对应“现实主义”，属于削弱。
