2014年考研南京大学基础英语小阅读题源(回忆版)
这是GRE阅读里的一篇,真题里面做了微调,倒也不是太难做,只是发出来供大家参考参考
Of Homer’s two epic poems, the Odyssey has always been more popular than the Iliad, perhaps because it includes more features of mythology that are accessible toreaders. Its subject (to use Maynard Mack’s categories) is “life-as-spectacle,”for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseusprimarily from without; the tragic Iliad, however, presents “life-as-experience”: readers are asked to identify with the mind of Achilles, whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero. In addition, the Iliad, more than the Odyssey, suggests the complexity of thegods’ involvement in human actions, and to the extent that modern readers findthis complexity a needless complication, the Iliad is less satisfying than the Odyssey, with its simpler scheme of divine justice. Finally, sincethe Iliad presents a historically verifiable action, Troy’s siege, the poem raises historical questions that are absent from the Odyssey’s blithely imaginative world.

(D) accepting the poem’s scheme of divine justice

3. The passage is primarily concerned with
(A) distinguishing arguments
(B) applying classifications
