【最新0619 GRE閱讀機經真題】 0619 上週同學回報又考到這篇：美國小說家：Mary McCarthy 瑪莉‧麥卡錫出生：1912 年 6 月 21 日，美國華盛頓州西雅圖逝世：1989 年 10 月 25 日，美國紐約州紐約曼哈頓提名紀錄：美國國家圖書獎最佳小說類獎 http://i.imgur.com/DSkzVvi.jpg

先來分享中文版機經：評論界已經形成了共識，即 Mary McCarthy 主要是作為一個散文家而不是一個小說家被銘記。但是，儘管她作為一個好爭辯的、散漫的(discursive)作者有著可怕的天賦，並且她也有著作，為一個為了理智而犧牲情感的智者的名聲，但真正為 McCarthy 最好的散文提供力量的是她寫小說方面的天賦，而不是嚴格意義上智力上的天賦。她通過講述故事、生動的描寫、對畫面的捕捉以及巧妙的人物塑造來表達她的觀點。並且，儘管她有著對事實一絲不苟的感覺，但是 McCarthy 最大的貢獻是模糊了不同種類的散文寫作:她展示了小說的世界如何向一顆思考的心靈打開，以及散文寫作如何能夠從小說的技巧中獲益。再先來分享英文版題源還原： Mary McCarthy A critical consensus has emerged that Mary McCarthy will be remembered primarily an essayist rather than as a novelist. But despite her formidable gifts as a polemical and discursive writer, and for all her reputation as an intellectual who sacrificed feeling to intelligence, what powers McCarthy’s best essays are her fictional rather than strictly intellectual gifts. She makes her points by telling stories or by ways of description, arresting images, and subtle characterization. And for all her exacting sense of fact, McCarthy’s greatest contribution was to blur the distinctions between different kinds of prose writing, to show how fiction could be opened up to the thinking mind and how essays could profit form the techniques of fiction. Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply. 1.The author of the passage suggests that Mary McCarthy’s writing is characterized by A the use in her essays of devices more typical in works of fictions.
