问题 Unlike other forms of narrative art, a play, to be successful , must give pleasure to its immediate audience by reflecting the concerns and values of that audience. A novel can achieve success over months or even years, but a play must be a hit or perish. Successful drama of the Restoration period, therefore, is a good index to the typical tastes and attitudes of its time. The author of the passage above assumes that
选项 A、plays written for Restoration audiences do not appeal to modern audiences.
B、plays are superior to novels as a form of narrative art.
C、Restoration audiences were representative of the whole population of their time.
D、playgoers and novel readers are typically distinct and exclusive groups.
E、Restoration drama achieved popular success at the expense of critical success.
答案C
解析 本题第一句话可看作是推理的一个大前提：“成功的戏剧必定反映其直接观众的关注点和价值观。”第三句话的前半部分“复辟时代一些戏剧获得了成功”可以看作一个小前提，因此推理的隐含结论应为“复辟时代成功的戏剧反映了其直接观众的关注点与价值观”。但本段落推理的结论是“复辟时代成功的戏剧反映了其时代的品味与态度”。很明显这两者——“immediate audience”与“its time”之间有差异，因此应把这二者连起来。若“复辟时代的观众是那个时代整个人口的代表”，如(C)所说，那么就是一个很好的假设，所以(C)正确。(A)与“its time”无关；(B)中涉及新比较必然不对；(D)、(E)均与上述推理无关。
