◆ 0527 GRE閱讀第一篇命中：Fanny Fern 芬妮方(本篇英文原題)
Before feminist literary criticism emerged in the 1970s,
the nineteenth-century United States writer Fanny Fern was regarded by
most critics (when considered at all) as a prototype of weepy sentimentalism-a
pious, insipid icon of conventional American culture. Feminist reclamations of
Fern, by contrast, emphasize her "non-sentimental" qualities, particularly her
sharply humorous social criticism. Most feminist scholars find it difficult to
reconcile Fern's sardonic social critiques with her effusive celebrations of
many conventional values. Attempting to resolve this contradiction, Harris
concludes that Fern employed "flowery rhetoric" strategically to disguise her
subversive goals beneath apparent conventionality. However, Tompkins proposes
an alternative view of sentimentality itself, suggesting that sentimental
writing could serve radical, rather than only conservative, ends by swaying
readers emotionally, moving them to embrace social change.
幫同學奉上原題與正解：
1. Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
The passage suggests which of the following about the "contradiction" mentioned
in the highlighted sentence?
It was not generally addressed by critics before the 1970s.
It has troubled many feminist critics who study Fern.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that Tompkins would be most likely to
agree with which of the following about the "critics" mentioned in the passage?
They wrongly assume that "sentimental" must be a pejorative term.
◆ 0527 GRE閱讀第二篇命中：Architectural Morphology建築形態學(本篇英文原題)
Architectural morphology is the study of how shifting cultural and
environmental conditions produce changes in an architectural form.
When applied to the mission churches of New Mexico exemplifying
seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Spanish colonial architecture in what
is now the southwestern United States, architectural morphology reveals
much about how Native American culture transformed the traditional European
church architecture of the Spanish missionaries who hoped to convert
Native Americans to Christianity.
Many studies of these mission churches have carefully documented the history
and design of their unique architectural form, most attribute the churches'
radical departure from their sixteenth-century European predecessors to local
climate and a less-mechanized building technology. Certainly, the limitations
imposed by manual labor and the locally available materials of mud-brick and
timber necessitated a divergence from the original European church model.
However, the emergence of a church form suited to life in the Southwest
was rooted in something more fundamental than material and technique.
The new architecture resulted from cultural forces in both the Spanish
colonial and indigenous Native American societies, each with competing
ideas about form and space and different ways of conveying these ideas
symbolically.
For example, the mission churches share certain spatial qualities with the
indigenous kiva, a round, partly subterranean room used by many Southwest
Native American communities for important rituals. Like the kiva it was
intended to replace, the typical mission church had thick walls of adobe
(sun-dried earth and straw), a beaten-earth floor, and one or two small
windows. In deference to European custom, the ceilings of these churches
were higher than those of the traditional kiva. However, with the limited
lighting afforded by their few small windows, these churches still suggest
the kiva's characteristically low, boxlike, earth-hugging interior. Thus,
although pragmatic factors of construction may have contributed to the shape
of the mission churches, as earlier studies suggest, the provision of a
sacred space consistent with indigenous traditions may also have been an
important consideration in their design.
The continued viability of the kiva itself in Spanish mission settlements has
also been underestimated by historians. Freestanding kivas discovered in the
ruins of European-style missionary communities have been explained by some
historians as examples of "superposition." Under this theory, Christian
domination over indigenous faiths is dramatized by surrounding the kiva with
Christian buildings. However, as James Ivey points out, such superposition
was unlikely, since historical records indicate that most Spanish missionaries,
arriving in the Southwest with little or no military support, wisely adopted a
somewhat conciliatory attitude toward the use of the kiva at least initially.
This fact, and the careful, solitary placement of the kiva in the center of
the mission-complex courtyards, suggests an intention to highlight the
importance of the kiva rather than to diminish it
幫同學奉上原題與正解：
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
correct some misinterpretations about the development of an architectural form
2. The passage suggests that the indicated historians regarded the placement of
kivas in the midst of Christian buildings as which of the following?
Reflective of the Spanish missionaries' desire to diminish the kiva's importance
3. Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument about
the Spanish missionaries' attitude toward the kiva?
There are no traces of kivas in Spanish mission settlements that were protected
by a large military presence.
4. According to the passage, the building techniques prevailing in the Southwest
during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries played a role in which of the
following?
Preventing missionaries in the Southwest from duplicating traditional European
churches
