It is simple enough to say that since books have classes: fiction, biography, poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice (同谋).
If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fitness(委婉之处), from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Immerse yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty-two chapters of a novel—if we consider how to read a novel first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building, but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you--how at the comer of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.
The possible meaning of "impalpable" in line 8, Paragraph 2 is" ______".
选项
A、clear
B、elusive
C、delicate
D、precise
答案
B
解析
先看第二段中间部分:作家想把素材安排得像一座完整的大房子,使之具体化。接下来就是含有“impalpable”一句。然后用“but”引导,有转折含义。所以此单词意义可能与“具体”相对。再看下文,阅读比观看更复杂和费时。这样,该词的含义就可以基本确定了,应该是“非常抽象难以捉摸的”之类的意思。(这里与“砖头”相比,更加强了这一点)据此可排除A、D项。C项意为“微妙”,意近。但 B项恰好意为“难以捉摸的”,更与生词含义接近,所以应选B。此题目C项干扰性较大,需仔细推敲。
